MARRY MY LOVER'S BEST FRIEND
CHAPTER 24

My heart beats because I finally get to meet that guy. He came at the right time, when we needed help. What's he like? A white MPV is parked in front of the house. Rinto got out of the car and greeted us. Actually I don't want to accept the man's help because I don't want to owe him a favor. But this is the only way we can get back to the city.

"Come, the ambulance is far away" Rinto said as he opened the back door for us.

Waspily I stepped into the car, and there was only a middle-aged man who looked very well mannered. It turned out that the man was not here, who sent us was his personal driver. A little relieved to not have to meet him in this state, but also the curiosity was getting lodged in my mind. I also did not dare to inquire about her either to Rinto or the driver.

"Why father, To?" I asked Rinto to open the conversation.

"Since you were last here, the pack has never been healthy. The relapses continued," Rinto said as he looked focused on the road.

"Kowe kok ora ngabari me, To?" Rayi said the protest was because Rinto did not give any news about the father's circumstances.

"ndak was given Bulik," Rinto said, denying Rayi's protest.

Actually from yesterday I feel better than the day before so I ventured down to the rice field. He said he was bored if he just stayed at home or monitored the work of rice fields and fields from a distance. But today, the farmers found the father slipped and fell and fainted. Soon they took him to the health center, but according to the doctor the father had a stroke and fell into a coma so it should be referred to a larger hospital and with more complete equipment.

"Mother to coma?!" honestly, I was very surprised by this news.

"Iyo e Kas, sorry Kas, reportedly the possibility of paklik is also paralyzed next door" said Rinto who made my feelings more unkillful.

I was just dumbfounded, wanting to cry as well it felt like tears had drained away. It all started with my selfishness to refuse my father's request, and I vehemently refused it. Like I have to choose between my parents' happiness or my own happiness that I have to fight for. I spontaneously ruffled my hair because I didn't know what else to do.

...****************...

Mom sat pensively outside the ICU. When I saw my arrival my mother immediately hugged me while sobbing. Mother is still waiting for information from the doctor about the development of the father's health. We were just busy trying to get our hearts and feelings together.

"Why father, ma'am?" I ventured to ask.

"Your father had many thoughts, nduk. Between keeping his promise or making his only child happy" said the mother who made me feel burdened.

"I'm sorry, ma'am" I said, looking down.

"Father feels guilty, it should be before agreeing to Mas Sur's request, I ask you first. Your father if you have to cancel everything. That's what makes your father's mind so heavy" said the mother, occasionally wiping away her tears.

Oh my God, do I have a crush on both my parents? It's all my fault that you have to endure all this. It seems I have to defeat my ego, unable to see the pain of my parents.

"What do you want me to do?" I said slowly to my mother.

Not long after, the doctor called us to say that the father had passed his critical period and reported that he was paralyzed in the face and left body. However, according to doctors stroke can be cured through but. But at this time the father must still undergo hospitalization for a few days.

After making sure everything was okay, I sat down and let go of the new tiredness. I checked my phone and there were a lot of missed calls from the Cloud. I deliberately ignored, I'm sorry Awan, it feels like this relationship is too complicated and our path will be difficult.

...****************...

Today, my father can go home. I got permission again from the factory to take you back to the village. Rayi never wanted to miss, she also came with us. Although at this time you have to sit in a wheelchair and difficult to talk, but the spirit of the father to heal is very high. Especially when mom told dad I was willing to meet the guy and talk about their matchmaking. There is relief in the heart to see the spirit smile of the father.

Everyone was ready in the car Rinto had hired to pick us up back to the village.

The atmosphere is more relaxed, not tense as when following the father a few days ago. I held my hand along the road. Engraved promise in my heart, I will make you happy and obey whatever your wishes. If you want this matchmaking to accelerate I will try hard to obey it.

"So when you haven't reached the hospital, your future husband looks at the father again, nduk. But she hurriedly left because she was busy," said the mother with a bright smile.

According to the mother's story, the man often visited the father, but somehow he often came when I was not there. In my heart a little amused, maybe we are not a match. Trivial like this alone we are difficult to meet. If there is no soul mate for what is forced?

Sometimes my heart is still worried and unstable. Sometimes I try hard to hold my chest to accept this match, but on the one hand I also still have a desire so that all this can be canceled.

I yawned, tiredness and drowsiness attacked me, the journey was still far away, there were probably still three hours left, I decided to close my eyes and hope to sleep for a while. But the voice of Rayi and the mother who argued over the soap opera somehow quite disturbing comfort.

"Ra, quiet dong, noise pollution tau! It's not important to make a storm just because of the soap opera," I said as I pelted Rayi with a neck pillow.

"Lho, bude who started you know," said Rayi defended himself and bestowed blame on mother.

"Yes, you're normal, don't overuse emotions like that" I said, not daring to blame mother.

"Bude sing raging," said Rayi still continue to defend himself.

"You two are noisier than before" said Rinto, who made us all laugh.

Without feeling we were almost home. From a distance we saw the white MPV car we were riding at that time. It looks like Pakde Marto and Bude Rini are busy serving guests sitting on the terrace. A beautiful woman who looks very graceful and a thick-bodied man. And a man wearing a hodie and knee-length cargo pants was turning his back on us because he seemed more interested in looking at the group of people who were drying rice.

"Lho, it's the Mas Sur family, sir," said the excited mother.

Mother got down first to greet her guests, while Rayi and Rinto helped the father to get out of the car and sit in his wheelchair. The white-bodied man rushed to our aid and how shocked I was to see that familiar face smiling in front of me and Rayi.
