At the End of the Waiting (Love of the Soldier)
CHAPTER 75. Rigid
"Darling, are you here?" Tanya Iqbal who just came at her friend's engagement event.
"Ara, why are you crying on the deck?" Tanya Iqbal looked at Viara who was crying in the arms of Citra doctor
"In the long story bang, I will tell you later" said Doctor Citra smiling at her lover
"Well, let's take you home" said Iqbal opening his car door for Viara and doctor Citra
All the way home, Viara was incessantly crying in the back seat of the car. Iqbal who continued to observe Viara from the windshield began to worry because of Viara's cry that never subsided
"Dek, what happened to Viara, why did she keep crying since then. Brother became worried" asked Iqbal while watching the streets.
Doctor Citra sighed and began to tell the truth about what happened to Viara, inadvertently the tears of doctor Citra also spilled telling of the sadness experienced by Viara until Viara came to like this
"That's how you deck" Iqbal muttered staring at Viara from the windshield
"Ikhla? I find it very difficult to let you go from me. I loved you so much that I forgot how to forget that love. But whatever my day, I can only love you without being able to have you. Seeing you together with him made me feel like I was shot dead on the spot. I missed you so much that I broke into pieces, but when I met you again, my heart was hit by thousands of big stones so I could no longer hold everything. Resisting the extreme pain in this heart" Viara's inner self cried out profusely and hid her face behind her palms
"But that's okay, baby, this heart will continue to love you even though you won't be around me anymore. My heart will always miss you even though you will never come back to see me again. Your name will always be etched neatly in the heart and spoken beautifully in every prayer I pray. It's just your name Pandu, there's nothing else in my heart but your name" Viara recalled every memory she shared with Pandu
"Now it is only those memories that will always accompany me for the rest of my life"
_________
After traveling from the city to the village for 45 minutes, Viara has now arrived in front of her grandmother's house
"Thank you for driving me home to my grandmother's house, my sister, doctor Citra" Viara said, smiling sincerely at her two best friends
"Daddy together Ara, now go in and rest well, take care of your health" said Iqbal rubbed Viara's shoulder with a nod of the head by Viara with a smile.
After the two friends left, Viara turned her back and walked into her grandmother's house
When entering her grandmother's house, Viara who saw Lula's grandmother was watching TV in the living room shed tears and ran to embrace her
"Grandma!!!" Viara ran and hugged her grandmother
"Ladies Viara" said Lula's grandmother returning her favorite granddaughter's embrace to her
"Grandma hiks.hiks.." lirih Viara cried on her grandmother's shoulder
"Why you baby, why are your eyes so swollen like this? Are you sick, baby?" Tanya Grandma Lula rubbed Viara's vibrating back
"Astaghfirullah Viara!!!" Lula's grandmother's screams worried because Viara is suddenly unconscious in her arms
"Wake up baby, wake up.. Lena's... Lena" cried grandma lula calling mbak lena
"Daddy Grandma, astaghfirullah Viara!!! What happened to him, Grandma?" mbak said Lena was anxious as she ran closer to Lula's grandmother.
"Grandma doesn't know Lena either" Lula's grandmother said anxiously
Lena's mother helps Lula's grandmother wash Viara's limp body to rest in her room
After laying Viara on the bed, Lula's grandmother immediately opened the shoes at her grandson's feet and went up to the bed
"Darling, wake up, son. What happened to you until you were like this?" Lirih's grandmother Lula rubbed her grandson's forehead
"Viara is fine, maybe he fainted from exhaustion when he came here" Lena explained after checking on Viara
"Come on, let Viara rest first. Later tomorrow morning after he wakes up, we will ask what has happened to him" Invite Mbak Lena gently
Lula's grandmother wiped her tears and walked out of Viara's room with her mother
"May you be okay my granddaughter" inner grandmother Lula expectantly
_______
The next morning, Viara slowly opened her eyes and in her still blurry vision, Viara looked at her grandmother who was walking over to her with a smile
"My dear granddaughter, you're awake hmm?" Ask Grandma Lula gently to help Viara to sit leaning back
"Daddy Grandma" Viara answered smiling sweetly at her grandmother
"What pain did you have, son, why didn't you wake up last night?" Tanya Grandma Lula rubbed her grandson's head gently
"Viara is not sick, Viara is just tired after a long trip, so Viara fainted. Sorry Viara who has made grandmother anxious well" said Viara smiled and hugged her grandmother
"Dear baby, it's okay. Now Viara is taking a shower, after that we have breakfast together in the kitchen. Grandma has prepared Viara's favorite food" said Lula's grandmother softly
"really? Thank you my dear grandmother, grandma is the best" said Viara softly kissed her grandmother's wrinkled cheeks
"Hahaha thanks for the compliment dear, now Viara is taking a bath well"
"Ready granny" exclaimed Viara happily and immediately passed into the bathroom.
After finishing the bath and getting ready, Viara headed straight to the kitchen to approach her grandmother who had been waiting for her since
"Finally my granddaughter came too, let's eat her porridge dear" said grandmother lula after Viara sat opposite her
"Daddy Grandma, but you should also eat dong with Viara!!" Viara puckered her lips
"Haha grandma has been eating since then baby, now is the time for grandma to take medicine" replied Lula's grandmother while laughing at the grim face of her grandson
"Here Viara help her medicine" Viara smiled and sat down next to her grandmother. Viara began to open one by one the parcels of health medicine owned by her grandmother and gave it to her grandmother
"Mother, granny medicine lives a little" Viara reported seeing the medicines in front of her
"Dad kid, grandma can't go to town so the stock of grandma's medicine is running out. Sister Lena is also very busy with grandmother's food stalls here, so no one goes to town to buy grandma's medicine" replied Lula smiling at Viara
"Yaudah let Viara go to the city to buy grandmother's medicine yah" said Viara sincerely
"But baby, you just arrived at grandma's house last night, you must still be very tired baby, don't have to go to town well son" refused grandma Lula smooth
"It's okay Grandma, Viara is not tired anymore. Grandma take it easy well, Viara promised to return from the city safely to the grandmother's house. So allow Viara to the city well grandma" Pinta Viara explained.
Viara purposely uses her eyes because Viara knows that her grandmother loves her so much that she does not dare to refuse her request
"Alright son, but you have breakfast before you go, baby" asked Lula's grandmother softly
"Good grandma" Viara replied with a smile and started eating her breakfast.
After finishing breakfast and asking for a prescription from her grandmother, Viara immediately boarded an online taxi of her order that would take her to the city
On her way to the pharmacy amid the bustle of town B, Viara sees a mother on the side of the road crying for help while holding her child
"Sir, please stop for a moment" Viara ordered the taxi driver. After the taxi stopped, Viara immediately went down and approached the mother
"Astaghfirullah, his son why ma'am?" Viara asked worriedly to see an 8-year-old boy who was short of breath in his mother's cradle
"Miss, please help my daughter, since I asked for a ride, but no one stopped and helped me. Please my son, miss, hiks.. Hicks.." Pinta mother pleaded while crying to see the condition of her son.
"Follow me ma'am" said Viara took the child from his mother's arms and ran straight into the taxi followed by the child's mother
"Sir, please take me to the hospital, I will add more costs. Please hurry up sir" Viara said
"Well miss" said the driver, starting to continue his taxi defending the city streets
"hold on, son, we'll be in the hospital soon. Mother please hold on son" said the mother continued to cry to see the condition of her son who was getting worse in Viara's lap.
Viara reached into her bag to pick up her new breathing apparatus and placed it directly on the child's nose
"Breathe slowly well deck, do not be afraid. Adek will be fine" said Viara wipe tears on the cheeks of the child who was struggling with the pain.
Viara continued to give directions to the child who seemed to be suffering from the same illness as her. Because Viara had experienced seeing Citra doctors who often helped her, Viara continued to give directions so that the child remained calm and breathed normally.
"Good deck, stay calm and breathe slowly well" said Viara smiling and gently rubbing the child's forehead which was flooded with sweat
Viara puffed her head to stare at the road in front of her and how surprised Viara was to see the road ahead which was so jammed
"How is miss hiks.. The road ahead is very jammed, how can we get to the hospital in the near future" said the mother continued to cry beside Viara
"Mother calm down well, everything will be fine. Sir please follow my directions well, I know the shortcut to the hospital quickly" Viara said.
The driver nodded and began to follow Viara's directions, who kept telling her where the road they had to go.
5 minutes later in front of the hospital gate, Viara paid the taxi driver he was riding and ran back to the hospital while continuing to hold the child.
"Defend well deck, adek will be fine" said Viara calmed the child who came back crying in his carrier as he continued running to the hospital
"Doctor, please this sister's doctor" Shouted Viara asking for help in the hospital waiting room. Upon seeing the empty gurney the nurse had taken out of the room, Viara ran back to the gurney and laid the child in the gurney
"Vyara!!!" muttered Pandu who was standing in front of the reception desk while continuing to observe Viara who had just entered
"Doctor, please this boy doctor, please help him doctor" Viara asked to look expectantly at the doctor Citra
"Astaghfirullah Iyah Viara, I will help him immediately" replied Doctor Citra
"You quickly bring the patient into my room" doctor Citra ordered the two sisters who pushed the child's gurney
"You calm down well deck, trust the same brother. Adek will be healthy again and everything will be fine" Viara said, pushing the boy's gurney and trying to calm him down.
The boy nodded his head and published his smile on Viara
Viara's steps stopped after the child was taken into the Citra doctor's room. Viara smiled to see the child being treated in there through the glass door of the Citra doctor's room
"The spirit of the deck, you certainly can" Viara muttered back at the boy's smile at her.
After the child fell asleep due to the influence of drugs, Viara turned her body and turned to look at the mother of the child who was still crying as he pleased in the front seat of the Citra doctor's room
"Mother why cry again? The mother's son has been treated intensively in there" said Viara rubbing gently on the mother's back who was crying while hugging him
"Dad son, but I don't have the money to pay for this hospital fee, nor do I have the money to buy medicine for my mother's son... Hiks. "wept the mother was getting sobbing.
"Mother calm down well, I will pay the hospital fee and redeem all the medicine for the mother's child" Viara said trying to smile at the mother because she felt a spinning sensation in her head
"Don't kid, you've been very meritorious to us when you took my son to the hospital. I don't want to bother you anymore, son" I refused, it's subtle
"It's okay Mom, I'm sincere to help mom and mom, I don't expect anything in return, but I just want my mom's son to be healthy again and smile again. So don't be rejected, ma'am" Viara smiled and slowly closed her eyes
"But son, astaghfirullah son!!!" Shouted the mother frantically looking at the unconscious Viara while leaning on her. Doctor Citra who heard the screams in front of his room immediately came out of the room and how surprised he saw Viara unconscious while being held by the mother
"Astaghfirullah Viara!!!"
"Doctor help this lady, please save her as well as the doctor" the mother said tearfully
"Mother take it easy well, I'll handle it immediately" Citra's doctor said, calming the mother and letting Viara into her room with the help of a nurse.
From the glass door of the Citra doctor's room, the mother looked down at the woman lying there. A good woman came to help him at the right time. The good woman who immediately lifted the weight of her heart and reached out to him when others would not help her.
"Help the good woman, Lord, ease her affairs and make her body fit. A woman as good as herself is entitled to happiness" the mother mumbled her tears while continuing to look at Viara who was being treated inside.
Not long after, the mother immediately approached the door of the Citra doctor's room that was open
"Doctor, how's my son and the girl doing?" Mother asked, still with tears in her eyes
"Mother rest easy well, thanks to proper first aid, the mother's child can be saved and her condition has improved greatly now. If not for the right first aid, maybe the life of the mother's child can not be helped now" Citra explained
"alhamdulillah" the mother shed happy tears and made a prostration of thanks to the Creator. The mother immediately rose from her bow and thanked the doctor Citra
"Then what about the doctor?" Ask the mother back
"Viara's still unconscious Mom. He still had to be treated while in this hospital" immediately clear circle again escaped from the mother's eyes to hear Citra doctor's speech
"Mom can see the mother's child when she has been transferred to her nursery well. Then excuse me first" said Doctor Citra
"Okay doctor, thank you" the mother replied with a smile
After the Citra doctor left, the mother stood in front of the door and looked at the woman who was still asleep in front of him. Pandu who had been in the hospital since then and observed Viara since Viara arrived at the hospital began to move his legs closer to the mother
"Mom, did you know that woman?" Ask a friendly
"Mom doesn't know her, son, but I do know that she's an angelic hearted woman. If it wasn't for the help and first aid he did to my son earlier, maybe my son's life wouldn't have been helped by now. Thousands of thanks for not being able to pay for her actions for us today" said the mother, wiping away her tears. The mother smiled and turned to look at Pandu beside her
"She was a good woman and a great contribution to our lives. I'm sure, that woman will definitely never be hurt by another. If he wanted to, he could have passed us and left us who kept pleading for help on the side of the road. But he could not do that because his heart was so noble. Whoever managed to have it, he must be the luckiest man in the world. May the woman be given a long life and get all the happiness that is in this world" said the mother smiled sweetly at Pandu and also Viara in there.
After her son's gurney was moved to her ward, the mother soon followed her son leaving Pandu alone in front of the door of the Citra doctor's room.
Pandu turned to look into the Citra doctor's room and stared softly at Viara who was still lying weakly in there.
"Snack" Instantly clear lips escaped from his eyes saw the condition of Viara now and the words of the mother who was back excited in his ears
Pandu opened the door of the Citra doctor room and walked up to the woman he still missed
"Even if you hurt me so much, but my heart still loves you so much, baby. I hate you so much now, but my heart always misses and remembers you" Pandu stroked the top of Viara's still-unconscious head gently
"I'm sorry brother well, now there is another heart that you have to take care of. Forgive me for not being your companion anymore. Soon my brother will marry another woman who also loves my brother. If you can forget brother, so you can find a much better one than brother" lirih Pandu clasped Viara's hand.
Seeing that there was movement on Viara's fingers, Pandu immediately let go of Viara's hand and stepped out of the room
Viara who was beginning to come to her senses slowly opened her eyes and in her still very blurry vision, she saw the shadow of the back of someone who was walking out of the Citra doctor's room
Not long after, doctor Citra entered his room and smiled to see Viara who had been awake and was sitting leaning on her gurney
"You've woken up Viara?" Ask Doctor Citra pleased
"Dad doctor. Doctor who was the person who just walked out of this room a few minutes ago?" Ask Viara
"Maybe it was a nurse who came to check on your condition earlier" Citra Doctor said with a smile
"Doctor, what about that little boy?" Viara asked tearfully recalling the pained face of the child
"Thank God he's fine Viara. I heard the story from the boy's mother. You are indeed a great Viara, you swiftly gave her first aid to the boy. The boy was having something until he had trouble breathing. Lucky you immediately pair it with a breathing apparatus when heading to the hospital, otherwise the child's life could not be helped anymore" Hearing the Citra doctor's speech, said, Viara shed happy tears and published her smile to doctor Citra
"I'm glad the boy's okay doctor. When my life was about to end soon, I was proud to still be able to give a new life to the child" Viara smiled. Citra's doctor shed tears at Viara's speech and hugged her tightly
"You have to keep Viara alive, you haven't had the happiness you've dreamed of all this time. You promised to attend my wedding, didn't you? So keep living and fulfill your promise" said doctor Citra sobbed on Viara's shoulder.
"I'm sorry doctor, I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise to you. My body's so tired, doctor, I can't stand all this anymore. Maybe by going forever, then I won't feel this pain anymore. Let me go well doctor" said Viara stroked the vibrating back of doctor Citra
"No Viara, you can't leave us all. You can go for a while and come back again but not by going for good" doctor Citra cried on Viara's shoulder
"I'll try the doctor" Viara said, wiping away Citra's doctor's tears with a smile.
After saying goodbye to doctor Citra, Viara came down from the gurney and stepped out of the doctor's room Citra.
With her slow steps and a clear circle adorning her face, Viara tried her hardest to keep moving closer to the reception desk.
Pandu who saw Viara was eager to run hugging the owner of his love, but his steps were held back because Tara prevented him
"Where are you, baby?" Tara asked softly. Because there was no answer from Pandu, Tara followed the direction of the prospective husband and was stunned to see Pandu who continued to look at Viara in front of him
"He again!!!" tara's grout in the heart
"Suster, I'll pay all the hospital fees and medicine for the child" Viara said at the reception
"Okay lady, please sign this file" said the receptionist handing over the file and pen to Viara
Viara nodded her head and began to sign the paper. After signing the dossier, Viara reached into her bag to pay for all the hospital expenses of the boy
"It's mbak"
"Alright, thank you miss" said the receptionist replied with a nod of the head by Viara.
When Viara turned her body to go home, Viara grinned bitterly at the two people she recognized who were about to walk past her
"Viara, what are you doing here?" Tara asked as she embraced Pandu's arms spoiled
"I have business here sister" Viara replied trying to smile
"Aren't you going to congratulate us?" Tanya Tara tried to hurt Viara
"Oh well, congratulations to both of you" Viara said trying to smile as she returned Tara's hand to him
"Let's go baby, shake hands with her" Tara said gently to Pandu who was only silent on the spot.
Pandu nodded his head and began to extend his hand in front of Viara.
With her trembling hands holding back the tightness and tears that would soon spill, Viara returned Pandu's helping hand as she continued to bow down not daring to look at him. Viara drew Pandu's hand to her face preparing to experience her as usual, but Viara immediately stopped her hand. Viara is eager to shake Pandu's hand, but Viara realizes that two are no longer anyone for Pandu. Pandu also has a prospective wife who has been struggling spoiled in his hands
"Congratulations to both of you, good luck" Viara said strengthening her heart and trying to smile at the two
"Daddy Viara, Thank you" cried Tara smiling at Viara
"Then I say yes, assalamu'alaikum" said Viara turned her body before her tears spilled before the two
"You must be hurt to see your lover who will soon be mine hihi" Tara smiled happily at Viara's back that was getting away
"You must stay strong, Viara, do not cry or be weak in front of all of them. You calm down well, soon everything will be fine. When it comes, you will never cry again, nor will you ever feel pain again. Soon enough, you'll be sleeping in your sleep following your little friend. Your little friend must have been waiting for you up there, so don't cry when you've met him again. Stay strong well, everything will be fine" Viara muttered her tears and looked up at the sky
"Wait for me well Risya, soon we will meet and play together like before. In a moment, I will always be there and lie next to you. I'll sleep with you forever, too...."
Seriate......
