I'll Wait
“Then what, Win?” asked Runa curiously. Winsi was silent because he had to stand up and give Jiddan to his mother. Then, she smiled at the baby and Runa alternately.
“Then I will wait until Erlan dares to bedevil me to Jogjakarta.”
“Why not go to Jogjakarta now, anyway? Mom wants to ask him to apply quickly, kok!”
“No, let him prove his sincerity, ma'am. He would want to, if indeed he wants to obey mom, then he is also really happy with me.”
“Wiwin, do not overdo it so .. indeed all this time you do not know that he likes you? If people hate, there is no way he is sweet and good attitude to you from the past, Win!”
Wingsi knew that his father and mother had not mutually agreed and agreed, about the desire of the hue that betrothed them. Moreover, his mother had not told Erlan so he dared to ask for such a thing. If the man had known Runa's plan, he would have asked Winsi something last night. But in fact, until he left and closed the window, Erlan did not say anything.
At the same time, the two men in their private vehicle chatted with each other, freely because they deliberately did not bring Jasnu as a driver. They will do something secret this time, even people at home should not know including Runa.
Actually Erlan did not agree with his father's half-forced plan, but, seeing his promise to someone when he had an accident a few years ago, then, Arkan is not entirely to blame. In any case, a man's promise must be kept even though, he feels heavy and does not love the woman he currently has to marry.
“What dowry will you give the woman?” ask Arkan from beside Erlan who was driving.
“Which I know is up to dad only!” Erlan replied without guilt.
“Erlan, this is your wedding not your father's wedding to prepare!”
“But would Dad not want me?”
“Ya, Okay! Dad wants to, but do you think Dad should marry that woman, while you promised to take care of her, is it fair I have to find honey for your mother, so?”
“Dad! I really didn't provide it I think everything I've given him is enough to be a dowry just imagine how much money I have to spend on hospital treatment even I have to cut my salary from the restaurant.”
“If you have to write it your dowry is money used for hospital fees if it will be called a stingy person!”
“Dad, how could I be stingy if I was stingy maybe I'd let him die!”
“Erlan, did I educate you to be a coward and a lowly person? Giving the hospital fee you were supposed to be advertising into dowry?” arkan said with a raised voice.
“How can that be, Dad! Nothing to do dowry equal male self-esteem?”
“Of course there is, you give a dowry that much or little, meaning that is how your pride as a man,” Arkan said again while scooping his face with the palm of his hand.
Erlan was silent and no longer spoke until they soon arrived at the hospital where a woman was being intensively treated. The two men immediately stepped into the hospital ward as soon as they got out of the car. Now they were in the treatment room that had been so familiar with Erlan and Arkan.
At that time they were not directly involved in the collision, but the result of Erlan's accident, made Hanifa an orphan in an instant.
The incident began when Erlan's motorbike fell to avoid a crosser of the road. It turned out that there was a car driven by both Hanifa parents, right behind the bounced motorbike. Then, the car tried to avoid so as not to run over Erlan's body which was also slammed not far from his iron horse.
However, what happened later was, the car that slammed the steering wheel to avoid a consecutive accident was actually sliding in the direction where the road divider was located. It just so happened that the sedan car that was low and had the same height as the fence barrier, making the vehicle rattled, destroyed and, two people who were in it were declared dead instantly. They are the parents who were the victims of the accident died at the scene.
Coincidentally the person driving the car was both Hanifa's parents, who were on their way to the hospital, to see their child in a coma.
Previously Erlan and Arkan did not blame the parents until Runa reminded to investigate someone who was the victim of the fatal accident. At first, they just wanted to express their condolences. However, when looking at the chronology of events and hearing from some sources that their goal was to go was to take care of their sick child, Erlan touched his heart.
Erlan was moved to see who the child who was in a coma, in the hospital. How surprised he was when he found out if the one in the hospital was Hanifa, his friend when he was still in school.
Of course Erlan knew her very well, because the girl was close and kind to her, she was also sweet and even very beautiful so Erlan promised her to be the one who would replace her parents.
The man often visited the hospital every time he came home from college, or deliberately came to see his condition, until then he recovered.
“How are you, Han?” erlan asked as she and Arkan had gotten near her bed.
The girl smiled gently, and welcomed the arrival of the two men by shaking her hand. His condition is sometimes good and sometimes bad, so Hanifa often becomes a resident of the hospital without having to register because so often she becomes a ward dweller, even many doctors and nurses become so familiar.
When Erlan goes to college, Arkan will replace Erlan's responsibility to take the girl to the hospital, take care of her and bring her back home if she improves. There are several assistants and nurses who are paid specifically by Arkan when the girl is at home with her father and mother's family.
“Alhamdulillah if you are healthy, come on! We go home, now.” Erlan said without looking at Hanifa, but instead tidied up some of the equipment on the table. He seemed to be hiding something with his attitude.
“You've graduated, haven't you, Er? So you want to go home together to my house .. I remember your promise first, when I just realized ..” said Hanifa while squeezing her own two hands.
“Ya.” Erlan said briefly, “we will get married later.”
“Yes, is it?” Hanifa looked excited.
“Ya.”
“Then, let's go home!”
Arkan only saw the interaction of the two young people before him with a foreign feeling in his heart.
