Mak Ningrum's Heart Wound.
Chapter 51
PoV Arga's.
"Tole... Have you been so busy lately? Go home at night when you are asleep, leave early in the morning when you are not awake. Do you always work not knowing time like this? Remember Lee.. work there is time, the machine only if it continues to burn, can break down really" Mother's advice, half protest. It's almost 12 pm and apparently Mom is waiting for me to come home.
"Yes ma'am, Ratri's in the hospital." I answered while opening my shoes. I haven't been able to tell Mom because honestly, after Ratri was treated, there were so many tasks that I took on. For a week I did not see my mother.
"Ratri is in the hospital? Why, Arga?" Mommy's fawning, shock and shock.
I told Mother what happened with Ratri, and also Mother Ningrum's journey. I know everything that's happened to Mom Ningrum. Naturally, since I worked with Daniswara for 10 years.
"Astagfirullah.so so the story Lee." Mother geleng.
"Yes, ma'am, it's just that Ratri's in the ICU again." Saying tight.
"Astagfirulah... I'm going to visit Ratri tomorrow, Lee.. Where is Ratri treated? He promised to play here, but he didn't come, this is to, the reason." Mother was again shocked.
"But visiting is also free, ma'am, definitely not allowed in." I'm explaining.
"It's okay Lee. at least I can comfort Ningrum. Tomorrow morning, I'll come with you..." Mother does not want to be denied.
"Mom, now that I'm resting, it's too late." My advice.
"You eat first, every time you cook lately, only you eat." Complain Mother.
"Sorry ma'am, I'm always bought to eat, Mr. Daniswara." My answer is so.
Mom finally went into the room. While I boil water for a bath. It's too late, if you take a bath with cold water, you're afraid to catch a cold. After taking a shower, I lay my body on the bed.
I stared at the ceiling of the house, thinking about Ratri. If you know this will be the fate, of course I choose to express my true feelings. I should have fought for Mr. Daniswara's blessing instead of pretending to be indifferent to Ratri. Right now I can only pray for Ratri to come to his senses, and I will express my feelings to him. "Hopefully"
Crying...
I heard three rings, I opened my eyes. That's the phone alarm that I turned on before the dawn of the morning reverberate. The new feeling fell asleep for a while but time has led me to continue the activity. After sitting for a while collecting lives, I started the morning routine, which is bathing. Right at dawn I was done wearing clothes and then stretched out the prayer service to surrender to God.
"Mom's cooking again?" My toot. If usually after dawn has left, this time I will wait for Mom.
"Mom didn't cook Lee, you know. Now just warm it up."
I looked at Mother from the side, feeling guilty. "Later if Ratri is cured, and my boss is back in the office. I promise you, Mom, I want to eat together like you did yesterday." I grabbed Mom's shoulder from the side.
"It's okay, Lee. Now we have breakfast first, and Mom goes with you." Mother said, put tempeh saute and long beans into the bowl, and bloated fish that has been seasoned sambal balado into the dish.
"You don't have a mother, you never cook?" Ask Mom as she walks towards the dining table.
"Sir Ma'am, just lately." I answered, then pulled the chair sitting at the dining table. Actually it's still too early for breakfast, but for Mom's sake I'll have breakfast.
"Lee.pity Ratri, but he likes you. But I noticed you didn't respond. If anything happens to Ratri, you'll regret Lee." Mother's Advice.
I raised my head quickly, looking at Mother who was scooping the rice. "I know Mom, but I know myself enough. Who me? Until you dare approach the boss' daughter." Reply lirih.
"Mother knows Lee. but there's no harm in it, please your boss's son. Hopefully, you're not too late to realize." Mum Pungkas.
Arriving at the hospital, Ms. Ningrum had already come out of Mr. Agus' room. Maybe he'll go see Ratri.
"Mom, it's Miss Ningrum." Whisper to Mom.
"The hell Lee..ok really skinny, even though Ningrum was a good body." Mom's forehead is wrinkled. Apparently he did not recognize Mak Ningrum.
"Now we're approaching Mom." Mom and I sped up our pace after Mak Ningrum, before arriving in front of the ICU room.
"Mu Ningrum."
"Arga... Have you arrived?" Ask Mak Ningrum. I looked into those sunken eyes of being too thin, hid her sad feelings and smiled at me.
"Yes Ma'am..Keep, this is my Mother," Although said Mother, Mak Ningrum her underclassman when SMK, but I did not want to tell. Does Mak still know Mom.
"I'm Ningrum Ma'am..." He then shook my hand.
"Rum, do you remember I didn't?" Ask Mom, smile.
"Who is it?" Mak Ningrum stared fixedly at Mother's face. Apparently he forgot.
"You still remember the vice chairman of SMK 3 Gunungkidul is not?" Ask Mom.
"Sir Retno Wulandari?" Ask Mak Ningrum. Mother nodded then both of them slid into the embrace.
"Oh my God, Ma'am! Ma'am is prettier now than ever." Praise Mak Ningrum. Mom just clucked in disbelief with Mom's words.
"You're why, so langlit like Rum." Mom looks ngenes.
"What's a langlit, Ma'am?" Mak Ningrum squinted.
"Langlit it. The bones equal the skin of Rum." Answer Mother. Mak Ningrum laughed. I'm glad to see you can laugh so much, I haven't seen her in almost a month.
During Pak Agus in the hospital even more so, Ratri was shot, becoming a heavy blow to Mak Ningrum. Apparently the presence of Mother made Mother's heart entertained.
"Sir.. I want to wipe Ratri's body first." Pamphitt.
"I'm with Rum." Mom said, then the two went into the ICU room. I'm waiting outside. It's a lonely atmosphere. Apparently Mr. Daniswara and Banuwati are not here.
15 Minutes later.
Doctors and nurses walked quickly to the ICU. I can confirm that inside, Ratri is in a bad state. I quickly barged in.
From a distance Mak Ningrum cried hysterically, hugging Ratri's body. I took a step closer staring at the straight-line monitor screen, my legs feeling limp. Is this Ratri's last time? My chest feels tight. I can't help but these tears end up falling as well.
"Mom, we've tried our best, but God wants something else" said the Doctor.
