Always Gonna Be You
36. Falling Down's
I don't know because I've been pregnant, to make her more confident. This second pregnancy is actually easier. For sure he did not experience severe morning sickness like during the first pregnancy or HEG. Only occasionally nausea and vomiting if smelling the aroma of onions and other pungent smells foreign to his nose. Beyond that, he can stay active comfortably, can eat a lot without fear of vomiting.
Until one day, Rendra said, "Mas Sada ngajak paragliding."
He spontaneously distanced himself while shrinking, "When?"
"Sunday's Day."
He is getting worse, because it is Saturday morning.
"Yes and yes?" Rendra put on a smiley face while raising eyebrows, just like a child who wants to be bought a toy by his mother.
On Sunday tomorrow they do not have any planning, because the new four-monthly thanks will be done on Friday next week, fitting the red date long weekend. So that Papah Mamah can be a bit long in Jogjanya. And so that Adit, who is excited to be om - again - for the second time, can also come from Bandung.
"Huakhakhakhakhakhakhak.." suddenly came the sound of Arung's cry breaking from inside the room.
"Arung wakes up," he rushes up.
"Huakhakhakhakhakhakhak..," cried Arung increasingly become. Whether starting from when, when you wake up and find out there is no one around, Arung will scream hysterically. Like at the moment.
"Where? Can ya?" Rendra still looked at him expectantly.
"Ntar I thought first," he answered quickly.
"Huakhakhakhakhakhakhakhakhakhk!!!!" arung's screams sounded even more upset and frustrated, perhaps realizing no one was approaching his cries immediately.
"I'm begging you," said Rendra again as he rushed to the connecting door that connects Rendra's workspace with their room.
While patting Arung's butt that was nen, he tried to remember when the last time Rendra hang out with friends. And the result is, he can't remember a single one. Alias is so long Rendra never hangs out with his boy friends will be boys.
Futsal, which is usually done regularly for two weeks, has never followed Rendra since she was pregnant with Arung. So this time, there was no reason for him to ban Rendra from leaving.
"What time does Sunday leave?" he asked when Rendra had just laid himself behind his back who was still in the air.
"Jam two," replied Rendra. "You're both the same Arung at home aren't papa?" continued Rendra again.
Because this weekend happens to be the schedule of Mba Suko off and return to Prambanan.
"No papa. It's a minute, right?"
"I'm home again in seven hours."
He smiled, "Have fun."
Sunday at two o'clock less Rendra left. By wearing jeans and white polo shirts, somehow Rendra looks so much more handsome.
"Bapi go play first yaa," Rendra showered Arung's face and entire body with a kiss. Makes the plump baby laugh because of the carelessness.
"Abang wait at home ya," continued Rendra again while continuing to shower Arung's stomach with a kiss.
"Kukkuk.....Kekekeekk.
"Did you?" he cringed.
"Yes dong, you want to have a sister" replied Rendra who is now kissing Arung's neck.
"Kukkuk.....Kekekeekk.
He smiled to himself, Brother Arung.
"As long as Papi goes Abang keepin Mami and ade baby yaa," Rendra closes the rain of kisses with a gentle kiss on both cheeks curvaceous Arung.
"Babababababaab.
"Smart kid," Rendra stroked Arung's head. Then he hugged her, "I walk first," and kissed her cheeks and forehead.
He smiled, "Have fun Papi!" while waving Arung's hand until the car driven by Rendra disappeared behind the corner.

Rakai
A lazy sunday's. This whole day, he was practically going nowhere. Just swam for a little while this morning at the hotel pool. The rest were lounging in the room with someone. Doing something that makes sweat production so excessive. Must be something really fun. If you know what I mean.
"Before going home, anterin to Mall dong. I have something to buy."
"OKAY. The afternoon."
He still accompanies his girl on monthly home shopping at Hypermart when the phone in his pocket rings.
Mas Sada Calling's
Tumben-tumbenan nih Mas Sada called when there was no case surrounding Rendra or ManjoMaju. "Yes Mas?"
"Where to?"
He frowned, "Mall Mas," while mentioning the name of the Mall where he was. "Why?"
"Rendra fell in Parangtritis," while telling the chronology of the incident as well as naming a regional hospital located closest to the location.
"Please tell his wife."
"If you're here right away."
Clik.
"Mas....Mas Sada's? Hello?!?"
There's no other choice. Although they ended up having a big fight, but he still ordered a taxi online to take his girl home. Because he clearly could not tell this news to Anggi through a mobile phone. Crazy what?! Another young pregnant person was given this shocking info over the phone? Two bad things could happen. Namely Rendra who clearly had an accident, and Anggi and prospective baby in the stomach. He has to be able to think tactically.
"Why is it always Rendra? Rendra's wife? Rendra's son?!"
This part is what he dislikes the most, with the bad attitude of this girl. Never understood his position or circumstances.
"Who is your boyfriend is me or Rendra is the same wife as his son?!?"
He knew they would break up tomorrow morning. Then it will start again the most boring cycle of 30 years of life. That is interested, acquaintance, close, do not want to understand him, break up. As soon as possible until Arung has a dozen sisters. Damned!
With no regard to the anger of his girl who exploded in a public place, he immediately tancap gas towards Rendra's house. On the way back Mas Sada called.
"Kai, please hurry."
"I have to take his wife's child to the hospital or what about Mas?" stupid tanya.
"Enough wife. Rendra fell quite high.we never know until when can survive....."
What the hell?! On Friday morning when they last met, Rendra said nothing but warning him to press the subconies to get the job done in the promised time. And now? Falling in Parangtritis? Well the hell done, the son of a bitch already wants to have two children still just messing around with death.
And his tongue suddenly felt as soon as he saw Anggi opening the door.
"Bang Rakai?"
He had to catch his breath before answering.
"Would you wait inside?" Anggi invited him to enter. "But Brother just got home at the end of the day, he said. Just a little more."
He entered into the house Rendra who somehow feels warmer than his own home, with masygul at once confused.
"Which brook?" he lengthened his neck looking for baby versions of Rendra all over the room.
"Just aja bobo. Though usually never bobo at this hour," Anggi invite him to sit on the sofa.
"Maybe because she knew she was coming home at seven. So now bobo first, let's be satisfied playing," continued Anggi with a laugh. Obviously happy laughter. His tongue was at a loss for words.
"Where's Mba Suko?" fortunately his brain can still think tactically.
"More vacation."
"Holiday?!?"
Anggi frowned seeing him surprised.
"Weekend it's a holiday schedule" Anggi said as he walked to the fridge and picked up something. "Usually come back here at night."
"Why? Is there a need for Mba Suko?" Anggi added frowning while putting a bottle of mineral water on the table.
He exhaled heavily, "Then ask for her number Mba Suko."
While frowning and watching him with a probing glance, Anggi sent Suko's Mba number to his phone.
And he had to go to the front porch to call Mba Suko. But baby, I've called dozens of times, none of which have been picked up. Until finally had to be satisfied with sending a chat message, asking Mba Suko to come home immediately.
"Connected?" suddenly Anggi was already standing behind him.
He shook.
He just nodded while trying to string the words together, "Nggi, we should go."
Anggi gawking, "Where?"
He opened his mouth when his phone rang again.
Mas Sada Calling's
"Yes Mas?"
"Rendra transferred to...," while naming one of the hospitals with the most complete facilities in the middle of the city.
"We'll meet there."
He looked at Anggi who was also looking at him suspiciously.
"Barusan...Why did you call?" search Anggi full of curiosity.
He shook. "But Rendra tipped pesen..if you.mest come with me now."
Really, for now he can not find a simple sentence equivalent but pleasant to hear.
"Why should you join Bang Rakai?"
Anggi is smart obviously not willing to swallow unilateral information from him.
"Why didn't you call me right away?"

Orchids
While holding Arung who chattered himself until his saliva spurted, he tried to call Rendra's phone. There is a continuous tone but not lifted. While on his right side Rakai was clearly driving agitatedly.
"Tatathata....Dadadadadada..," Arung banged the hand that froze him with a salivating finger.
"There is a continuous tone but not lifted," he said towards Rakai who some time he pergoki was breathing heavily.
Rakai just shook his head.
Makes her wonder what is going on. Although initially had a bad mind, but the connecting tone of Rendra's phone managed to convince himself that everything was fine.
He also remembered what day and what date is now? Could it be that Rendra was preparing a surprise to please her? Although the way is a little strange by involving Rakai, but he can not deny the creative brain of Rendra who always has a new way to make her happy.
But as soon as he looked sideways at Rakai, his face did not appear to be harboring any pleasant surprises. Because what was clearly caught by his eyes was a confused face mixed with fear exactly as he had seen in the hospital when Rendra half ran up to him who was still lying weakly on top of the hospital bed after surgery just to hug and then say, "Be brave.i love you....There is no jungle...."
No. gabe.
Don't again.
His eyes that began to heat up suddenly glazed over as Rakai steered the steering wheel into the hospital parking lot.
He didn't ask anything. Rakai did not try to explain anything either.
***
Rakai
He walked hurriedly to the hospital lobby followed by Anggi whose face began to turn red withholding tears while holding Arung who continued to chatter.
"Tatathata....Cacacacaca....."
"Sit down first" he asked Anggi to sit in the lobby waiting chair. Then walk away to call Mas Sada.
"Mas, we're in the lobby. Because bring a baby, so can't go in all."
After calling Mas Sada, he also returned to call the number of Mba Suko, who was still not appointed. Making him have to be satisfied just by sending a chat message, asking Mba Suko to directly come to the hospital.
"Arung let me be," he said as he reached out to the baby version of Rendra who somehow looks very funny and adorable tonight. Making his heart frenzied because the real Rendra is actually struggling in the ICU room.
***
Orchids
He walked into the ICU with heavy steps as if his feet were carrying tens of tons. Until as fast as he stepped, the ICU room actually felt increasingly distant.
Finally after feeling circled the entire hospital, he arrived in front of the ICU room, where Mas Sada greeted him with a stiff face.
***
Monday, 00:20
He sat in the waiting room. Less than 45 minutes from the promised 5 hours of operation. And it feels centuries.
Last night, with Rakai delivered, Arung went straight home as soon as Mba Suko arrived at the hospital. Rakai also gave him the idea to ask Amin, his wife, and children to accompany Mba Suko and Arung at home. Leave the house in complex security. Until he can wait for Rendra in the hospital without any worries. Because Arung has been at home surrounded by people who can be trusted.
And that was according to Mas Sada's quick story, Rendra took off from Gupita hill at exactly 4 pm passing Parangtritis. All went normally until a gust of wind that was strong enough to cause the parachute can not function properly and suddenly closed (collapse). Making Rendra's body fall from a height of about 100 meters. And it was only discovered an hour later after the SAR Team conducted a sweep up to 1 mile from the beach.
Doctors who deal with Rendra said that the bad fall position in the area around the neck, arms and back of Rendra resulted in a serious spinal injury. Until surgery must be done so that the overall motor and sensory functions of Rendra are not disturbed due to the injury.
"Drink first" someone pushed a bottle of mineral water toward him. And that is Rakai.
"Thank you" he forgot what time he had been drinking. Because now his throat feels dry and painful.
***
Hour 02.00
Rendra's operation went well, but from the recovery room Rendra actually had to be treated in the ICU room because of indications of infection and complications.
***
Hour 05.00
The infection and complications were successfully treated, but Rendra still had to remain in the ICU room because he was not aware.
***
Hour 08.00
Rakai offers to drive her home, but she refuses. He can't forgive himself if something bad happens to Rendra while he's not at his side.
***
Hours 09.15
Rendra's aware.
He really did not believe in his own vision when he saw Rendra's eyelids twitching and then slowly began to open.
"Did you?" he dropped his head beside Rendra's bed with tears in his eyes. Gratitude for the critical and stressful times has passed.
***
Hours 13.00
With Rakai delivered, he took the time to go home. Where Mamah had been waiting with an anxious face.Entah who contacted Mamah, it seems like Rakai-kai
He immediately hit Mamah's body and drowned himself in that soothing embrace.
"Prophe Ndo..sabar...," Mamah stroked her back which moved up and down in sobbing.
He also took the time to hug Arung tightly as long as possible. Making him cry mixed laugh to see Arung continue to be busy chattering himself. Not at all aware that her Papi has just passed through the phase between life and death.
He also reddened ASI even though his ASIP supplies in the refrigerator were still quite a lot. Because he did not know until when he was in the hospital. Notifying the meal schedule and menu this week to Mamah and Mba Suko. Before returning to the hospital to accompany Rendra.
***
Tuesday, 10:00
Because Rendra's condition showed a significant improvement, after a night in the ICU room, exactly at 10:00 Rendra could move to the treatment room.
Hope this is a good start.
***
17.10 Hours
He had just finished talking to the nurse who changed the infusion of Rendra, when suddenly his eyes suddenly blurred with electric shocks all over the body that made it like floating in the air. No. gabe. Don't again.
