He's Not The Best
67. Condolences

Bela Sungkawa's

"Try to find out, and be the one in charge.” Runa said softly.

“But I'm not wrong, ma'am. I accidentally fell, rather than bumping people .. I tried to avoid, uh, even falling.”

“Iya, I know you are not wrong, all that is the destiny of God .. just know, right, not heavy, we can continue to share our condolences with his family, that's all Mother meant, Nak.”

“Yes. Bu.” Erlan replied.

Runa ended the call, after telling the boy to take a proper rest and be careful when one day to return to driving and make all the experiences of today a lesson in life.

At the hospital, Erlan gives her father's cell phone and says what Runa's message is. After hearing all that, Arkan headed to the information desk and asked about the accident patient a few hours ago. But no patient who came to the hospital in a state of death who needed a morgue there.

The information that Arkan and Erlan wanted, they only got the next day after they were going home.

Erlan's injuries were not so severe that she was able to return home after a one-night stay at the hospital. They returned home after finishing financial administration, then, went to the police station to look for information about the accident that happened yesterday.

Arriving at the police station, they certainly get the information they want easily, the police gave a complete description of the chronology and identity of the dead on the spot that day, making them both stunned, he said, because the two married people who had an accident with Erlan were, the parents of one of his school friends.

Two children and the father returned home, after obtaining the information. Not forgetting they told Runa. The woman welcomed her husband and stepson with tears.

“Mother, no need to cry ... Erlan is fine, just think of yourself Mother.” Erlan said as she sat on the sofa in the middle of the room, where a sizable television screen was located.

Runa, sat down beside him and said, rubbing Erlan's head. “Mother is grateful that you are okay even though you are sick, but, still I am glad that you are okay .. You are young, your future is still long, your future is long, Thank God you did not suffer the fate like the one who died in place.”

“Ya, still the path is limping.” Arkan sat in front of his wife and children.

Indeed, the wound in the leg is quite wide because it is crushed by the motor body, but, it does not require stitches and as a result of the wound, when walking is painful, until Erlan walks a little limp.

“Yes. His name just fell off the bike, Dad! Falling again on foot can also hurt, can be abrasive, let alone this!” Erlan said as she rubbed her torn legs and levis pants because she was scissored by a nurse when the doctor was going to do medical on her yesterday.

“That, as a result of speeding on the road!” said Arkan staring at his son sharply. One day a night waiting for his son in the hospital makes him tired, so even small things can trigger his anger.

“Put on the road also Erlan is not ignorant, Father!”

“Already, already, is it not enough you guys fight in the hospital?” runa asked then made the two men nearby furrow eyebrows. Because while in the hospital, they did not talk much or fight. It could even be said that they did not chat at all, only when in front of Runa they could let out everything in their hearts calmly.

Runa invited Erlan to talk while looking at the wounds on the legs and hands bandaged with gauze, listening to the outpouring of the child's heart before and after the incident.

How shocked he was when he suddenly saw people walking in front of him. He had just overtaken another vehicle from his right that time, making him reflectively bend the steering wheel in any direction. But what happened then he fell down, his hands and feet instantly shaking violently, panicking and afraid of becoming one.

A moment after he fell, a loud clashing sound rang out from the other side, leaving Erlan again flabbergasted. A sedan car behind him, equally high-speed bumping the road divider in the form of a building of brick as high as the waist of an adult, making the front of the car shapeless.

He just sat limp on the side of the road looking at all the chaos, a moment later he felt a great pain in the skin of his hands and feet, blood pouring down. While the person who crossed the street carelessly, went out of nowhere.

“Oh yes, how, Dad?” ask Arkan suddenly after Erlan finished telling the story.

“Alhamdulillah fine now.”

“Unfortunately, grandpa why?” erlan asked, looking at Runa.

Runa also recounted the incident that Badri experienced yesterday and to this day his body continues to weaken, coughing continuously and is no longer possible to be invited to walk outside the house as usual.

Arkan goes to his father's room followed by Runa, while Erlan goes to his room to change clothes and rest.

“What happened to your son?” asked Badri while coughing. He opened his eyes when he saw the Son and his son-in-law sitting on the side where he was lying weakly.

“Slave nothing, Erlan is fine now just wound healing alone. Dad just think about your own health.”

“What because I am sick, do not need to know the state of my grandson?” badri asked, trying to get up. Runa helped her father sit deftly, making the paid nurses and standing near them useless. Since Runa's arrival, the nurse's job has become very light because Runa does a lot for her father-in-law.

“Dad, not like that .. Arkan means it let dad recover quickly.” Runa said as she patted Badri on the back as she coughed again.

“You too!” Badri said while looking at Runa. “Just think of yourself, no need to take care of me, instead you are also pregnant now?”

“Daddy, my pregnancy is no problem. A husband takes care of me too. Is it wrong that I take care of Dad?”

All silent, Arkan looked at Runa with a complicated gaze, the woman was still rubbing Badri's back, helping him to ease the cough. There is a high concern for his wife who is carrying a baby at an age that is at high risk when pregnant.

Runa has repeatedly explained that Arkan does not need to worry about her because she feels that she is still strong enough to contain a fetus of their love after marriage for a long time. The woman deliberately did not use any contraceptives on her after several months of their marriage. He wanted to give Winsi and Erlan a younger brother who could attach friendship in their next life.

The woman did not want if after Runa or Arkan died, the two children became far apart and no longer close because they felt they had no one else who could bring them closer.

The little family was still conversing inside Badri's room when Bi Neni knocked on the door and said, “Master, there are guests.”

After saying so, the woman went to prepare warm tea for her guests.

“Who?” ask Arkan as he steps away leaving Bardri. Her quick steps followed by Runa heading to the living room, she wanted to know who their guests were.

Arkan reached the room and immediately frowned. He said cynically after finding out who the woman sitting quietly on her living room sofa was.

“You? What are you here for?”

The woman immediately stood up and slammed into Arkan's arms crying and said, “Arkan, please help me!”
