TRY YOUR BEST

"Karin." called Aska softly while narrowing her eyes. In the lyrics, Karin doesn't have any room in her room, only seen Mr. Damar approaching him.

"Mr. Aska is awake?" said Mr. Damar standing beside Aska.

"Where's Karin sir?" Aska woke up from sleep trying to sit back on his bed.

"Miss Karin is currently with the madam, sir." Mr. Damar answered honestly.

"Momy here? and now with Karin?" asked Aska in shock.

"Mr. Damar, please immediately Mr. Damar looking for Karin. I don't want yesterday's incident to happen again, I'm afraid Karin will go again." said Aska while trying to get out of bed, but Mr. Damar held Aska's hand.

"Miss Karin is not leaving sir, Miss Karin is fine. Last night Mr. Aska was asleep, The madam came and chatted with Miss Karin for a long time. And now, Madam and Miss Karin are seeing Doctor Irwan." said Mr. Damar to calm Aska's panicked heart.

Aska breathed a sigh of relief at Mr. Damar's words.

"Thank goodness if that's the case." said Aska, starting to calm down again.

"Sir...Miss Karin said, if Mr. Aska is up in the mints immediately eat breakfast. The food has been prepared by Miss Karin on the table." said Mr. Damar, pointing to the food on the table beside Aska's bed.

"I'm not hungry, sir." said Aska with a distant mind. He knew that his illness was very severe, and it was predicted that his life would not be long. And all that is actually very scary to him, how does it feel when he's dying, does it hurt so much.

And what if his heart is not willing to leave Karin, whether he will be able to become a ghost like the stories in the movies.

"Aska...Aska." call Karin, breaking up Aska's reverie.

Aska looked at Karin, since when has Karin been in her room? then where is his momy?

"Where's Momy?" Asked Aska after waking up from his reverie.

"Momy you go straight home, want to take care of something for your needs later, back here tonight. If you look for Mr. Damar, Mr. Damar took Momy to the airport." Karin explained so that Aska could calm down and not ask any more questions.

"Momy didn't hurt you?" asked Aska carefully.

"No, you don't worry...Momy is a good person. Now, I'm the one asking you, have you eaten your breakfast?" Karin asked, glaring at Aska. Karin has already been told by Mr. Damar that Aska doesn't want to eat.

"This morning ... I'm still full Rin." answered Aska a little scared by Karin's gaze.

"Don't you love me anymore?" asked Karin again. Aska looked at Karin who looked very serious looking at his with a sharp gaze.

"I love you forever." said Aska quickly with a questioning heart.

"If you love me...why don't you obey my words? I asked you to have breakfast? why don't you do it?" Karin's cry began to be heard.

"I've tried so that you can always take good care of your body...but you, always destroy it? do you want to leave me alone?" said Karin with a sad face.

Aska's heart broke when he saw Karin crying just because he didn't eat breakfast.

"Karin...ssttttt, do not Cry anymore Karin, please...Forgive me, I do not mean it. I was still full earlier. Ini see! now I eat the rice." said Aska frantically, while taking his food and eating it greedily in front of Karin.

Karin, who was crying, started laughing seeing Aska's attitude like a child who is scared.

"Look at Karin, have I finished eating? you don't cry anymore." Said Aska a little sulking so that Karin would no longer be angry with him.

Karin took the dirty plate that Aska had brought, and put it back on the table.

With great care, Karin rubbed the remaining rice that had stuck to one corner of Aska's lips.

"You eat as if you were chased by a dog. Look at your mouth there are leftovers." said Karin smiling as she rubbed Aska's mouth.

"Now you have to take the medicine." said Karin, taking medicine and a glass of water on the table.

Karin helps Aska take her high dose of medicine.

"Karin." called Aska in a low voice after taking the medicine.

"What did the doctor say about my disease? is progressing? or worse?" Asked Aska with a serious face.

Karin lowered her face for a moment, then looked into Aska's eyes closely.

"We have to try our best be it you, me or the doctor. You have to try to always be enthusiastic, so you can survive. And I will try to find a bone marrow donor. Doctor Irwan tries his best for your health." said Karin explaining at length.

"If the only solution is spinal cord surgery? Does that mean, I have no hope of recovery other than by surgery?" asked Aska with a tight chest.

"You will still be doing chemotherapy. If you can get through then there will be no spinal cord surgery. This is all just in case. It would be better if we get the spinal cord earlier." Karin said, grabbing Aska's hand which was getting thinner. with great feeling Karin kissed the back of Aska's hand.

"When can I go home? I'm bored when I'm in the hospital all the time." Said Aska, remembering Mr. Damar's words that Mr. Damar had found a house that was located not far from the hospital.

"When you get well we'll be home soon." Karin said with a smile looking into Aska's beautiful eyes.

Aska smiled, seeing Karin who already loved him and always looked after him very well.

"Karin." called Aska staring at Karin's face.

"What is wrong?" said Karin looking softly at Aska's face.

"Aren't you visiting Edo? didn't you this morning you promised to be there?" Aska asked, reminding Karin of her promise.

"Should I go there? even though you are here alone, no one looks after you." said Karin with a heavy heart.

"There are doctors and nurses who can look after me. I can call him if I need him, you don't worry." said Aska starting to feel a little sleepy because of the influence of the new drug he was taking.

"I will go, after Mr. Damar comes." Karin said firmly.

"Mr. Damar came still a long time ago, Karin. Poor Edo, must have been waiting for you." said Aska getting sleepy.

"I'll sleep with you for a while." said Karin while sitting on the edge of the bed, with her body slightly tilted towards Aska.

Aska stuck his head in the recess of Karin's neck.

"Karin, You kept your promise to Edo. I'm fine here." said Aska with his eyes starting to close.

"Ssstttt...sleep, I'm here to accompany you." Karin said, stroking Aska's hair, kissing her forehead with great feeling.

"I love you Aska." whispered Karin in a low voice.

Aska began to fall asleep in her arms.

The sound of her cellphone made Karin shift her position and pulled one of her hands which was crushed by Aska's head.

Karin rested Aska's head with a pillow as support. Without making a sound, Karin got out of bed.

Karin saw Alea's call on her cellphone screen.

Karin accepted it guiltily.

"Karin, so what time are you here it was noon, I have to work Rin. And I can't persuade Edo anymore. Edo has started daydreaming again. I beg you to come quickly." Said Alea in a pleading voice.

"Yes Alea, I'll be there soon." Karin said in a low voice while closing the call Alea.

Karin looked at Aska's face, who was still fast asleep.

"I can't leave Aska alone here, but what about Edo?" said Karin biting her lower lip feeling confused.

"Miss Karin." called Mr. Damar surprising Karin.

"Thank goodness Mr. Damar has come. Mr. Damar, please take care of aska. I want to see Edo, I already told Aska." said Karin taking a sigh of relief.

Mr. Damar nodded his head quickly.

Arriving in front of Edo's room, Alea was waiting for him.

"Get in quickly Rin. Edo is waiting for you, I have to go now. Thank you, you want to take care of Edo." said Alea while hugging Karin very tightly.

"You're welcome, Alea." Karin said calmly. alea let go of her hug then left karin.

Karin opened the door slowly. She saw Edo sitting on the floor in the corner of the room with his blank eyes.

"God, don't make Edo mentally sick again." said Karin to herself as she swallowed her saliva.

Karin put her bag on the table. Slowly Karin sat beside Edo.

Karin was silent for a while, thinking how to distract Edo.

Karin sings a song from her memory with Edo in the past. In a low voice, Karin was still singing and was sure that Edo was hearing him.

Edo's face slowly changed, his gaze began to move following Karin's voice that he heard. Edo began to sing along in a low voice. Edo's head slowly leaned on Karin's shoulder. Karin smiled letting Edo lean on her shoulder. Even though Karin had finished singing, Edo still leaned on Karin's shoulder.

"Edo, you don't have to be like this." said Karin while looking at Edo who closed his eyes. The atmosphere was quiet again, Karin was still waiting for Edo's answer.

"If I'm not like this, then what should I do Karin?" asked Edo without moving from his place.

"Tell me Karin. What should I do? if the woman I loved for years, no longer loves me? but love other men?" said Edo, staring at Karin's face.
