"Do you need company?"

Biarlah dia berdikari.

"Nah, it's okay. I'm good."

"..."

"Do you need any help?"

Biarlah dia berdikari.

"It's okay. I can do it myself. Thanks for the offer though."

"..."

"Are you okay?"

Biarlah dia berdikari.

"I'm fine. I can manage."

"..."

"You're sick. Do you need me to call the doctor?"

Biarlah dia berdikari.

"It's fine. A little  cough won't kill me."

"..."

"That's it. I'm calling your father, BoBoiBoy."

Biarlah dia berdikari.

"No. He wanted me to be independent. Let me be independent."

"But you can barely stand!"

"Let. Me. Be. Independent."

Biarlah dia berdikari.

Let him be independent.

And independent he became.
