In addition to losing consciousness for two days, Pandji felt excruciating pain in his body as he opened his eyes. Damar Jati actually used a strength beyond the limit that his body could support.
Pandji still had to spend an hour adjusting to his bad condition, grumbling several times for not being able to change position as he wanted.
Selia's mother sat by her bed with her eyes closed. Falling asleep because of fatigue. Pandji could guess that the woman who gave birth to him was guarding and not leaving him as long as his consciousness disappeared.
Pandji touches her mother's hand slowly, moving with difficulty to kiss the palm that always takes care of her without burden, the palm that always gives her affection and love from the moment in the womb.
Feeling that someone touched her hand gently, Pandji's mother opened her eyes slowly. Surprised by the happy look of his son who had just returned. "Mas Pandji is up?"
"Badan Pandji is all sick, stiff to move .. and Pandji is very thirsty, Mother!"
Pandji's mother helps her son to sit leaning back, giving him a warm drink mixed with her concoction of concoction herbs while answering some of Pandji's questions.
"The situation is safe, no turmoil is heard as long as Mas Pandji is unconscious!"
"What about Mika? Is he safe? Is he okay?" ask Pandji was-was.
"He should be hospitalized, Mas Pandji need not worry. Mika will soon recover, her parents are here to help take care of her!" Pandji's mother added a lot of information about the medical treatment that Mika must undergo for some time to come.
“Mika must have been taken home to Surabaya with aunt Lucia after this, I have already risked her life several times ... she could have been killed at any time if it was close to me.” Pandji muttered in grief.
“Mas Pandji is protecting her well, she is not going anywhere. Mas Pandji knows Mika is a very stubborn person!"
Pandji nodded confirming, it was certain that Mika would not leave him without a reasonable reason. His recklessness withholding Nergal's power to save Pandji is proof that Mika is not just talking, the girl is protecting him with all her life. An annoying behavior that makes Pandji's heart feel warm.
"Pandji wants to visit her now, Mother!"
Pandji's mother chuckled before replying, "To move Mas Pandji is still difficult, how do you want to go to the hospital? There are guests who would love to see you today."
"Please!" rengek Pandji. Pandji grunts not like to see his mother shake her head, nothing is more important than ensuring Mika's own condition than having to be friendly with uninvited guests.
"How's father doing? Why not visit his dying son? What ... um, are you afraid of your mother?" Pandji smears a smile imagining his father who must have gotten a long nagging because Pandji came home in bad shape.
Seeing the expression of his son, Pandji's mother laughed loudly. "Your father is busy helping Pakde Noto receive many visits, also busy receiving guests who want to visit you from a safe situation."
"Would they come? Did they bring souvenirs?" Pandji put on a bored face, too lazy to meet many people and received sympathy from them. Too much following the norms of the society in which it grew up, too many rules.
"Some bring girls," answered his mother briefly.
"Thuhuk …!" Pandji's face reddened, he felt like the girl that the established youth was looking for as a matchmaker by his parents. "Isn't that too much, Mother?"
Raising her shoulders, Pandji's mother seduced her son. "It seems that Yangyut is planning to build a daughter's palace for Mas Pandji behind the mother house! Realize your father's aground ideals first!"
Pandji coughed with a puffing heart. "Pandji doesn't even have a girlfriend yet, Mother!"
The joking conversation between mother and child had to stop because there was a knock on the door and the sound of greetings from Atika who asked for permission to enter.
Not only did Atika enter the room after Pandji's mother invited her, but there was one ayu figure who was delivered by Atika specifically to visit Pandji.
The only girl who gets a special door from Pandji's great-grandfather's eye can enter the room where Pandji is being treated. Ratna.
The young girl smiled awkwardly but very sweetly at the handsome young man who was looking at her while scratching his head.
"The mother wants to meet Ratna's parents first," said Pandji's mother gently, with a hand signal he invited Atika out of the room. "Gia will accompany you!"
Pandji spontaneously restrains his pleasure, his expression returns bored and turns grim hearing his second event with Ratna must be watched by Gia.
Mom .. I am not a kid anymore! Please!
