Episode 3

After washing her hands, Devita got ready to return home because she felt sorry for her younger sibling who must have been waiting for her at home.

Devita left the hospital and drove her vehicle towards her house. 15 minutes later, she arrived home. Devita opened the door, went inside, and immediately headed to the kitchen to put away the food her sibling had ordered.

"Dika..., Sis is home, Dika.."

Hearing his sister's voice, Dika immediately came out of his room to meet her.

"Why are you late coming home, Sis?" Dika asked, sitting at the dining table, watching his sister prepare food for the two of them.

"Sis was helping someone who was sick on the road, so Sis went back to the hospital to take them there," explained Devita, finishing putting all the food she had brought into bowls.

"Let's eat..., Sis bought the grilled chicken you ordered..." Devita took the grilled chicken, placed it on a plate, and gave it to her younger sibling.

"Thank you, Sis.." said Dika, receiving the plate of food from his sister. Devita smiled, stroking her sibling's head.

"You're welcome..." Devita sat down opposite her sibling and ate with him. Not long after, Dika suddenly stopped eating, making Devita raise her eyebrows.

"Why did you stop eating..?" Devita asked, also stopping her meal. Dika got down from his chair, approached his sister, hugged her, and cried.

"I miss Mom, Sis..." he whispered. Devita's heart ached again, hearing her sibling's words. She gently rubbed his back and kissed his head.

"Mom is just in a different place from us, Dika, but Dika needs to know that Mom is always with us and sees what Dika and Sis are doing now. Don't be sad, remember Mom will also be sad to see Dika sad like this.." Devita said, comforting her sibling who missed their mother, who had passed away three months ago due to illness.

"Why is Dad so mean to us, Sis? I hate Dad so much..!" Dika's words made Devita's heart ache again, not like remembering her mother's departure, but the pain of hating their father. Before the ground on their mother's grave had dried, their father immediately remarried his secretary, who turned out to be the reason why their mother slowly fell ill and eventually died because their mother had long known about the affair.

"Let's eat again, okay? Don't think about Dad. You still have Sis with you.." Devita held her sibling's cheeks and kissed all over his face.

"As long as Sis is still here, Sis won't let anyone hurt you." Dika immediately hugged his sister again.

"Me too, Sis, Dika will protect Sis.." he replied.

"Yes.., let's eat again so you can grow up quickly, go to school and be smart, little brother, make Sis proud. Okay..!" Dika let go of his sister's hug and nodded.

"Yes, Sis" Dika returned to his seat and continued eating. Seeing that, Devita smiled and continued eating as well.

"Mom, rest assured, I will take care of Dika as I promised you, Mom. I will be a reliable older sister to my little brother, Mom."

Devita expressed in her heart as she put food into her mouth.

The two of them moved out of their father's house because they did not agree with their father's marriage. How could Devita accept it when only one month after their mother's passing, their father came home with his secretary and said they were getting married because his secretary was pregnant. This made Devita very angry and she had a big fight with her father. Seeing her father defend his new wife instead of them, Devita immediately decided to leave the house, taking her six-year-old sibling with her. Devita didn't want to leave her sibling with their stepmother, afraid that her sibling would suffer the same fate as her friend's sibling who was abused by their stepmother.

Before her death, their mother told her that she had savings and gave them to her. Thankfully, Devita was already working at a renowned hospital in their city, which was none other than the hospital owned by the Willen family, three months before her mother passed away.

She took her sibling to find a house not far from her workplace and her sibling's school. Thanks to the savings their mother had saved for her and her sibling, Devita and her sibling were finally able to buy the house they were currently living in.

"Oh yeah, Sis, I almost forgot... the day after tomorrow, there's a singing competition at my school. The teacher said parents are required to attend the event, Sis.." he said, informing his sister.

"Oh yeah..?, What time does it start?" Devita asked while chewing her food.

"8 o'clock, Sis. Can you come to school with me..?" Dika asked his sister to come to school during the competition.

"Of course, Sis will come. I'll ask for permission not to go to work in the morning to accompany you, okay?" Devita said, stroking her sibling's head with a smile.

"Yay, cool... Yes, Sis..." Dika said happily. Seeing her sibling's excitement, Devita was also happy.

Five minutes later, the two of them finished their dinner.

Dika was now watching TV in the living room, while Devita was still washing the dirty dishes and their dirty clothes. Devita always did everything at night because in the morning she had to leave early for the hospital and also take her sibling to school.

"Have you finished your homework, Dika..?" Devita asked her sibling.

"Yes, Sis..." he replied, his eyes fixed on watching his favorite cartoon.

"That's good. Sis is going to take a shower now.."

"Okay, Sis.." Dika replied, still in the same position.

Devita entered her room and went to the bathroom.

Devita had just finished showering and immediately got dressed. At the same time, her phone rang.

"Hello, Nat..?" Devita answered while applying her night cream.

"Aren't you on duty tonight...?" asked Nata, a fellow doctor and friend.

"No, Nat, this week I'm on the morning to evening shift. Oh yeah, since you called. Can we switch tomorrow? I still want to attend my sibling's competition at school in the morning, Nat.. Is that okay..?" Devita asked for help from her friend.

"Easy..., don't worry about it... Oh.. I want to ask you something. If I'm not mistaken, one of the doctors here helped the grandmother of Mr. Willen, the owner of this hospital, Dev..." Devita's heart skipped a beat. She suddenly remembered that she had helped an elderly woman earlier. Indeed, from their clothes, they didn't look like ordinary people. Don't tell me the person I helped earlier was the same person, thought Devita to herself.

"Devitaaa!!"

"Aaa.. Sorry-sorry.." Devita snapped out of her thoughts, hearing Nata's shout.

"You..! You're always like this... Did you hear what I just said..?" Nata was annoyed because Devita took a long time to process information.

"It was me!" Devita's answer made Nata, who was drinking, choke on her drink.

"What did you just say, Dev...?"

"I was the one who helped that grandma, Nata. I was about to go home when I saw some luxury cars parked on the side of the road. I heard someone crying, right? As a doctor, my heart was moved, so I helped them and then immediately took them to the hospital. VVIP room 1, right?" Devita explained to her friend.

"You're crazy, Dev... I'm proud of you. They're the family who owns the hospital we work at, Dev," said Nata, proud of her friend's quick response as a doctor.

"As a doctor, even if it's a sick scavenger, I would still help them if they're that sick.." Devita said.

"You're right, Dev... I have to go, I need to work. Bye.." said Nata, ending the call with Devita. Devita finished applying her body lotion and then went out to the laundry area to hang their clothes there. After that, she approached her sibling and joined him in watching TV while chatting.
