An Unwanted Match
JYTD 14TH

"Asalamualaikum, Auntie!" said Galang after they both got home.

At half-nine in the evening he had just returned home, after one day yesterday he was detained in the hospital. Bi Esti must have been worried about him at this moment. He and Thea went inside, and they saw Bi Esti running towards them with a big smile.

"Auntie," said Galang while greeting Bi Esti's hand.

"Aden, my goodness. So is it true what Sir said? Auntie hear, Aden's in the hospital because he got hit by a car? Is aden okay?" tanya Bi Esti quickly flocked Galang with a question.

Galang and Thea smiled, because even though Bi Esti was still crying, they saw the look of happiness Bi Esti emitted after seeing Galang.

"I guess I must have told you the same story Auntie, ck!" grumbled to himself.

"If Den Galang had met Mister this afternoon, why did Aden not go home immediately?" ask Bi Esti again.

"Hehe. Sorry bi, this afternoon I have some business to do, so I didn't go home. Sorry yes, the power again I've made Aunt cry." said Galang.

"What's wrong, as long as Aden goes home even Aunt is grateful. But next time, Aden has to tell Auntie, Aunt is really worried."

"Every Aunt is beautiful" said Galang excitedly.

"Yes, then Bibi will make warm tea for Aden and Non Thea."

"Eh, no need, Bi. I'm going straight to the room. My body is already pegel-pegel, want to sleep," said Galang quickly before Bi Esti stepped her legs into the kitchen.

Bi Esti simply smiled and nodded slowly assuringly. After Bi Esti went to her room again, Galang and Theapun now stepped into their room.

But before they reached the room, Galang stood before Thea with a wide grin.

***

Nine o'clock the night after Thea and Galang went home. Thea is now sitting on the carpet and trying to focus on drawing her accessories designs on a sheet of paper on the table.

Make an effort?

Well, he's still trying to focus, because what? Because Galang's words when they were about to enter the room, really made him disturbed.

Once again he looked towards Galang who was in front of him, the young man still helped him make the accessories even though it was very slow because his hand was injured.

He wondered why Galang did not go to sleep first if he was sick like that.

Why did Galang help him?

Thea cleared her throat, trying to tease the silence between the two of them.

"Stop maxain yourself, just sleep if your body is still sick," said Thea flat and did not look into Galang's eyes.

"Aihhh, shut up nobody cares about me."

Thea sighed for a moment and put her work on the table. Because again Galang spoke as if seducing him.

"Sleep, before I change my mind and tell you to sleep outside" he said in a more serious tone.

"Hmhh, yes. I sleep," said Galang lazy tone and put his work on the table. He also squirms to slightly stretch his achy muscle muscles.

Thea continued her work without saying any more.

"Yes, I slept first." said Galang again as he moved from his seat.

"Hhhh." Thea tried not to care, but she was also surprised why Galang even behaved like there would be nothing between them.

When Galang stepped onto the bed, Thea slightly raised her eyelids to look at her husband.

"Thank God, she's getting tired of forgetting." Thea muttered softly.

Thea also resumed her work because she saw Galang had pulled a blanket on the bed.

But not long after, Thea heard her phone ringing next to her. A call came in, but he didn't know the number. It was just appropriate, because Galang had already deleted all the numbers on his phone.

"Who is this with?" ask Thea.

"Wa'alaikum greetings, what is this with Miss Thea?"

Sounds very familiar to Thea when she heard the voice that spoke on the phone.

It's galang!

Thea's eyes widened with emotion, but she was still trying to hold it.

"Ck, why are you calling me? You just have to say it directly, why should you call." asked Thea pitched ketus while looking sharply at Galang who still seemed to lie on the bed.

"Well, that's the problem I don't know either. Let's call you in the morning. People who date usually gini."

"What?"

Thea rose in blood, as she heard it now the person even laughed softly on the bed. He quickly closed the call and got out of his seat quickly.

"Basic lack of work!" thea said as she opened the blanket that covered Galang.

Again, he saw Galang laughing, until he took the cellphone held by Galang quickly.

"Eh. Uh, uh, don't slam! That's Auntie's,"

said Galang who held back Thea's hand.

Thea looked at the phone for a moment, it turned out that this was Bi Esti's phone. He clucked and put the phone on the table.

"Go to sleep out there!" said Thea then a bit of a snarl.

"Ish, presumably my wife" said Galang, he smiled faintly this time because he saw Thea's anger.

"Go no! Or I force you out" Thea said again as she pulled the pillow she used to threaten.

"Ihh, I don't want to! This mall and so on, I balk at sleeping on the floor let alone outside! Point!" said Galang did not want to lose.

BUKKK

BUKKK

BUKKK

Without further ado Thea directly hit Galang with the pillow she was holding because she was very upset.

"Go! Go!" snapped again.

But Galang instead laughed more and avoided his attack by running a small run around their room.

"Wouldn't, wouldn't, weeee ...," said Galang in a soft tone again.

Thea rose in blood and more vigorously pursued Galang to drive him out of the room.

Many times Galang was hit by Thea's pillow, but he even laughed as if enjoying Thea's anger at him.

The more Thea beat him, the faster he ran. Until Thea threw her pillow hard because she already felt exhausted herself.

BUKK!

BRUCK!

Galang to fall down on the floor because of a pillow.

"Ssh, sick," ringis Galang who was still lying on the floor and holding his head.

Theapun smiled satisfied to see Galang seemed to have given up. "Thankiratin! Who told you to make me fall down! It's gone!" thea said later.

"The, my head really hurts" said Galang slowly while continuing to hold his head.

"I can't believe it, it must be just your wits, right? So you don't sleep outside."

Thea was still standing beside Galang for a while before seeing the peculiarity of the frail young man's body.

"Lang's? I've been walking there." He threw out the young man again.

He did not answer, he remained motionless.

"Lang?" he said again as he approached the frail body.

Galang's face is invisible because it is covered in both arms that hold his head. He was completely motionless to the point of making Thea start to get curious.

"Lang?"

Thea now began to squat down to move the frail body. And when he removed Galang's hand from his head, Thea could only see the whole face of the young man.

Thea's eyes are perfectly rounded, Galang's face looks even more pale now.

"Lang, are you really sick?" ask Thea who is starting to panic.

"Bas stupid, do I have to die first you believe."

It sounded so faint when Galang answered his question, it seemed like Galang was not joking anymore.

He grabbed one hand and swept it into bed.

After Galang lay down again on the bed, Theapun covered the body with a thick blanket.

Because after he examined Galang's forehead, the temperature was rather hot in his palm.

"You wait a minute, yes, I want to take the same medicine to drink first below," said Thea.

Galang did not answer and just nodded slowly to agree with Thea's words.

After Thea ran out of the room.

Galang tried to sit up from his sleep and took out some medicines from inside the drawer next to the bed.

He drank the three medicines without drinking water before Thea came back and brought him some water.

KLEKKK!

He was a little surprised when he heard someone open the door. He saw that Thea was now running towards him with a glass of water and medicine on a tray.

"I brought medicine with me water. Let's drink it now" Thea said later.

Galang menlongo looked at Thea without blinking.

A few moments later he looked at the wall clock.

"1 minute 40 seconds!" said Galang.

"Huhuh?"

"Aishh, the power of love is so strong. Though from here kedapur far loh, run lo cepet also well for me," said Galang again with a sweet smile.

He saw, Thea's breathing was a little breathless before him. But still the woman put on a look of annoyance now that she spoke so.

"Ck! Don't come too much! Let's drink,"

Galang still smiled as he took the drinking water and immediately gulped it down.

"Why just drink? The cure?" ask Thea.

Not putting the empty glass back in Thea's hand, he shook his head slowly and then lay down on the bed again.

"Gue did not want, I had taken medicine from the doctor earlier" said Galang.

Thea could only scowl and tidy up her glass and medicine back on the table.

After that, he also mapped his position next to Galang, arranging two bolster pillows in their midst as a barrier.

Both of their eyes were both still open, as if dissolving into each other's minds, they were silent and were in silence.

"Make what?"

"Because I've been eating up if you're in an accident."

Galang smiled faintly and turned towards Thea who was next to him.

"Do you want to tell a story? It's a true story" Galang said in a soft voice.

Thea finally turned her head as well, until the two of them looked at each other.

"You want to confide?"

"Dw ... Maybe."

Thea smiled faintly and confirmed her sleeping position.

"Alright, good enough for a fairy tale before going to bed" Thea said later.

"There was a boy, he was 7 years old and he was a very handsome boy, a pinter and a pious."

Thea chuckles small, though,

"Why are you laughing?" ask Galang.

"Huhuh? No, just continue." replied Thea.

"It's a true story, so what I'm talking about is a fact. You even laugh. I'm starting again, yeah,"

Galang confirmed his sleeping position and sighed for a moment to start the story again.

"But before that. He never knew who he was" Galang continued.

"You mean?" Thea kept looking at Galang next to her.

"She's lost her memory" Galang replied.

Thea was silent and she kept watching Galang who was getting serious.

"Hind and life began, as he opened his eyes. When he first looked around, he realized it was no ordinary room. But a special room for the sick. In other words, he's in the hospital,"

Thea was still listening.

"When he woke up, the person he first saw was a man. Tall, skinny and got a thin mustache. For days the boy was in the hospital after he came to his senses from his coma, and the lawyer also came every day, giving attention, buying toys. And make the child feel happy until he can forget the pain. Until the boy thought the cop was his father."

"Then?"

"Sampe two days later, the man brought the boy into a hospital room. It was a little dark, because there was only one window open. There are many medical devices on the floor and it is used to help the life of someone who is sleeping in the bedroom in the room. The boy was the same guy, 'pah, who is that? Why is he sleeping there?"

"Then, what was the man's answer?" ask Thea who started to get into the story.

"First, the man squatted down and faced the child who was sitting in a wheelchair. His eyes hinted at sadness as he rubbed the child's head. Finally he said, he's your real father."

_________________________

Galang looked down at someone who was lying weakly in front of him.

"really? So papa's not my real father?" ask Galang later.

Someone who he called papah and has the name yahya adijaya was shaking his head slowly.

"Grass, is that you son?"

Galang and Yahya turned their heads together when they heard the faint voice of a middle-aged man lying weak.

"Slut, look. This is your son, he's conscious of his coma. And now he's in front of you. Wake up, didn't you say you wanted to meet her?" said Mr. Yahya to the man.

The man slowly opened his eyes and turned slowly towards Galang.

The oxygen hose blocked his sweet smile as he looked at Galang, his weak hand he raised in order to grab the cheek of a child he had been waiting for his arrival.

Galang fell silent to the warm touch of the person he had just seen this.

"Finally I can see you again, son."

Galang held the big hand on his cheek, feeling cold piercing the palm. But it felt warm in his heart.

"Dad ...."

"Yes son, I am your real father. You are my son. Galang Aaron, that's the name I gave you when you were a baby."

Sounds so slow.

Galang was silent, while Mr. Yahya was seen turning his gaze in another direction. Trying to hold back all his feelings with the view he saw.

"Why is Dad here? Is dad sick? Get well soon, so Dad can accompany me to play like Papah." said Galang innocently.

Puguh smiled sweetly, but his tears fell as he heard Galang's words.

"Do you like playing with Papah?" ask Mr. Puguh.

Galang nodded slowly while smiling widely.

"Yes, Papah was very nice and gave me a lot of toys. I love playing with Papah, it'd be more fun if Dad came to play with us."

"If Papah is kind to you, then you must also be kind, forgive Dad because Dad might not be able to accompany you to play."

"Why? Don't you like playing with me? I promise I won't be naughty because I'm scared. If I'm naughty, Papah will put me in jail."

Pak Yahya and Pak Puguh chuckled little to hear the plain words of Galang.

"Why is that?" ask Mr. Puguh.

"Isn't that the job of a lawyer? I don't want to be a bad boy, let alone a bad boy,"

Puguh smiled sweetly.

"Dad, if Dad was my real father. I have a real mother too, right? Can I meet him? While I was here, I saw other children were very happy with their mother. I'm jealous, and I'm tired of being here. If you're cured, will you take me home and see my mother? I will be the happiest kid in the whole world. Because I have a father as good as you and a mother who gave birth to me." said Galang again at length.

Mr. Puguh looks to shed his tears again and Mr. Yahya also looks the same.

Once again Pak Puguh's weak hand was raised to reach over Galang's hair.

"Do you want to promise me one thing?"

"What's? What, after I promise, I'll see my mom?" ask Galang.

Mr. Puguh smiled faintly and nodded slowly. Galangpun also smiled sweetly at him.

"Please promise me that you will be a good son. Follow all your Papahs words, because I believe that your Papah will be able to educate you well. Remember, don't sleep too late, don't eat food at all times, avoid alcohol and cigarettes because it will make you sick, keep your eyes off women, if you're interested in women, choose a woman who is pious, good religion and can close the aurat well."

Galang smiled.

"Dad, Dad is funny. Didn't you just say one? Why is it so long now, I don't even remember every word you said before" he said later.

"What's wrong, later if you're older. You will remember these words of Father. Do you want to promise?"

"All right, I promise. Promise will follow the words of the father," Galang replied quickly and with a sweet smile.

"Father's son is smart and good, Daddy loves Daddy's son," said Pak Puguh while rubbing gently over Galang's hair.

Galang is still smiling.

But a few moments later, the big hand holding his head began to decline slowly along with his father's smile that was fading, his eyes were slowly closed and soon after...

The sound of a medical device being made was so shrill it pierced the ears of those who heard it.

"That? Dad why? Are you sleeping again?" ask Galang.

Pak Yahya silently did not answer and immediately hugged the tiny body in front of him.

"Are you going to wake up and take me to see Mom?"

Mr. Yahya did not answer and hugged him so tightly.

"Fuck, I'm tired. I'm so tired, why it's getting dark and stuffy here, please take me away. My head is getting sore Pah,"

Galang looked again at his father, the man he had just met had not moved a bit since the last time he spoke to him.

"Groof!" Pak Yahya slightly shouted in shock, when he felt the tiny body droop in his arms.

__________________________

"Since that time, the child joined the man who had been considered as Father" said Galang.

Thea who had listened to Galang's story did not feel her tears.

Galang did not say who the child was being watched, but he knew for sure that it was a story about him.

"Then did the boy meet his real mother?" ask Thea.

"Dw ... I don't know, I know that he is now happy to have two whole parents" Galang replied.

"Is he not trying to run?"

Galang shook his head slowly.

Until a while later, Galang stretched out one hand before Thea who had been staring at him since.

"What's this?" ask Thea wonder.

A sweet smile.

.

"Introduction, the two of us have never met well before, have we? Think of it as the initial process of our approach" Galang said.

Thea was silent for a moment to look at Galang's hand which was still in front of him.

"Know, my name is Galang Harun. Can we get acquainted? What's lo's name?" ask Galang again.

Theapun finally returned Galang's hand with one hand that he extended. A smile expands on Galang's face as he sees her smiling too.

"By, my name is Arasella Theana Poland." replied Thea.

GREPS!

Galang quickly pulled Thea's hand towards her, fused their five fingers together and kept Thea's hand on her chest.

"This what else?" thea asked with a sharp tone while trying to pull his hand from Galang.

Galang smiled and looked at Thea.

"After the story is over, I sleep. Want to sleep, you once said, when you hold my hand, I can calm down and can sleep soundly. Now, I want to sleep holding your hand, so I can sleep well."

"Ck! So the acquaintance was just a doang mode?" ask Thea again.

"Not mode, but this is a little effort .. hehe" said Galang while tightening his hold on Thea.

"okay, but just hold hands well, nothing more" said Thea.

"okay! Tonight is just a hand. But tomorrow-tomorrow's a little bit, right?"

"Huh?"

Thea was aghast, she tried to get up from her sleep and looked towards Galang. He pulled his hand out of the young man's hand.

But it was so difficult that even now, the rancid had already closed his eyes and fell asleep.
