Medina walked slowly with doubt and sadness towards her Sister's room, her heart was so uneasy for fear of her sister's condition getting worse.
When he arrived in front of Almira's room, the door wasn't completely closed, so he could see a little of his brother's condition without him knowing. His heart ached when he saw his brother curled up hugging a family photo frame. "Poor Sis Almira," he thought to himself.
Finally, Medina knocked on the door of the room and went straight in. Almira just looked at the door that Medina knocked on with puffy eyes and didn't say a word.
"Sis Mira," Medina whispered as she walked over to Almira on her bed.
Almira just kept quiet while stroking the photo frame her mouth was silent and didn't want to say anything even though her beloved sister approached her. "Miss Mira, you haven't eaten anything since this morning, have you? Eat it, Sis," said Medina trying to persuade her sister.
Almira just shook her head weakly which made Medina even more worried about her. "Sis, you can't continue like this. You can be sad but you also have to think about your health, which is more important than anything," Medina explained.
Almira still didn't budge and only shed tears while Medina continued to persuade Almira to eat.
"Let's eat, Sis? Or do you want me to get it?" he said as he stood up.
But just as he was about to stand up to take food suddenly Almira pulled his right hand. "No need," he replied.
Medina sat back on the bed and immediately rubbed Almira's back gently. "But Sis, don't be like this, please. I don't want you to get sick, I've lost Mommy and I don't want to see you sick."
Almira immediately hugged her sister, tears continued to flow as if to describe the condition of her heart which was currently being crushed. Getting a hug from her sister made Medina's heart, even more, touched considering the sadness felt by Almira.
"Sis, you have to be strong, Sis. You have to believe that behind all the events that happened yesterday, there will be a lesson. You must be able to get up again because if you continue like this, Mommy will be sad there later," Medina explained.
Almira just closed her eyes when she heard her sister's words because she had also been trying to stay strong and strong but failed. The image of the moment that grieved incident continued to haunt his mind.
"Sis has also tried to forget all that happened so that she can be strong and strong, but unfortunately what is there is only making Sister's heart feel tight," Medina thought.
After that Almira let go of the hug and she immediately looked at Medina. When she saw the look in her sister's eyes, her heart felt a little calm because Almira saw the figure of her mother in front of her.
After that Medina gave a sweet smile and then he took his Sister's hand. "You have to promise Medina that you can get up again because even though Mama isn't around, I'm still here. I'll always be there for you, we'll pass this test together," Medina said encouraging Almira. Because, she now broken by her sister is at this time, apart from being broken because of her mother's departure, Almira's heart is also broken because she has to lose someone who has been with her for a dozen years.
"I understand how to hurt Sis Mira is right now, I hope she can recover quickly from the trauma she experienced. Hopefully, after this, she won't be traumatized by other men even though she has been betrayed by the man she has trusted all this time, ' he thought again.
"Sis, let's eat?" persuaded Medina again.
"I also haven't eaten and I also don't want to eat if you don't eat," he continued, trying to threaten his sister.
Almira immediately frowned when she heard that. "You haven't eaten yet?"
Medina nodded his head. "Yes, I want to eat with Brother. Well, let's eat together, it's a pity that Aunt Rita is tired of cooking but the food is still intact, it's a shame if no one eats it."
Almira was silent while looking down but after Medina persuaded and seduced her in various ways she finally wanted to eat.
Almira kept the photo frame that she had been holding and then after that, she got up from her bed, it made Medina's heart so happy because she felt she had succeeded in persuading her sister.
"Finally, Sis Almira wants to be invited to eat too. Yes, even though I have to lie to say I haven't eaten even though I already ate when I was on campus with my friends," Medina said in his heart.
The two of them walked to the dining room and after arriving there were already various kinds of dishes and also fruits that had been prepared by the aunt.
"That's right, Sis. Auntie Rita has gone to the trouble of preparing all this, so let's just leave it alone."
"Now where is Aunt Rita?" asked Almira, glancing at every corner of her house.
"Aunt Rita said goodbye to me earlier," Medina replied, pulling a chair for him to sit on.
Aunt Rita's house is not too far from their house but not too close either. Since his mother died, Almira and Medina have been living alone in his house.
However, they are Almira and Medina are still lucky because even though the mother is dead, there is still Aunt Rita who always gives attention like a mother to her child. Since Mama Alda died, Aunt Rita has also been diligent in delivering food for her nieces and nephews.
Little by little Almira tried to eat what was in front of her even though everything she put in her mouth tasted bitter but she tried to remember what Medina said because after all, she had to appreciate the efforts of her aunt who was tired of preparing food for herself and her sister.
Almira's eyes were fixed on a chair which was usually her mother's favorite seat when they had breakfast or dinner together. Now the chair is empty and the atmosphere at home feels very lonely and empty, there is no longer a genuine smile that is the source of his enthusiasm to continue working and living this life.
"There is nothing more painful than losing someone we love so much, I will always love Mommy. Mom, I hope Mommy is okay there, here Almira will try to stay strong even though it is difficult because Mommy is no longer there, " Almira whispered in her heart she did not feel the tears again sparkling in her eyes.
Seeing her sister crying again made Medina look directly at her brother. "Sis? Eat it, don't eat it, don't even daydream while crying."
Almira immediately wiped her tears. "No, Medi, don't worry, you're okay because you're okay. This is the food you eat," he replied.
Seeing and paying attention to the look on her sister's face made Medina worried that Almira's psychological condition was getting worse. "Sis, I hope you're okay, according to what you said. I've lost Mommy and to be honest I won't be able to see you like this all the time, down and depressed," Medina whispered in her heart, which was very sad. and saddened to have lost his mother.
"Now we are alone in this house, Sis. I promise I will always take care of you and will not let another man destroy you," thought Medina, who loved her sister so much and she hated Agya so much who had had the heart to destroy Almira's feelings with
