After the Dhito family came home, Pak Harjo and Bu Tini chose to take a shower and clean the house, spraying disinfectant in the living room. Just to keep watch for yourself.
After that, Mr. Harjo began to take his phone and was about to tell Ardhita about the decision of the two families. According to Mr. Harjo, Ardhita should also be notified immediately.
Ardhita
Rang ....
"Hello, Assalamualaikum, Ta ...."
Mr. Harjo greeted his daughter who was in Natuna. Honestly, as a father and having to call Ardhita his heart was very sad. Accustomed to gathering with his only daughter. Now Ardhita is far away in Natuna.
"Waalaikumsalam, Mr. .. What's wrong?" ask Ardhita from Natuna there.
"How are you, Ta?" ask Mr. Harjo again.
"Good, Father. Trying to stay good, even though the condition is not good," Ardhita replied.
Honestly, there are times when mentally, Ardhita is also weak. In particular, if the number of patients with symptoms such as pneumonia or with weakened oxygen saturation. When patients seem to lose hope for life, or are anxious with their children at home. As a nurse, Dhita also had tough days. If I'm honest, Dhita's depressed. However, Dhita is better to keep everything. Not telling his parents, because, it could be the Father and Mother added to his mind later.
"Alhamdulillah, if you are good. Look, Ta ... I called because I wanted to tell you. Regarding your wedding plans with Dhito which should be held later this year, but given the conditions that are not good, so we both agreed to postpone the marriage of the two of you."
Hearing what was just said by his Father, of course Ardhita was also shocked and confused as well. In addition, it is undeniable that he is also sad. However, how else has the decision been taken both families.
"Ta, listen to me. If you are sad, it is natural. Dhito here also looks very sad. However, for the sake of the common good, it is better to be postponed," replied Mr. Harjo.
"Yes, Mr. .. did Mas Dhito come to our house?" tanyakanya.
Now, Dhita can only accept it. Because, Dhita himself also does not know when he should be in Natuna. While the number of covid actually continues to increase. In addition, after TKI and TKW from Wuhan are repatriated to Indonesia, there will also be TKI and TKW from Malaysia who are returned to Indonesia will be quarantined for 40 days in Natuna as well. So, it is the duty of nurses and medical personnel there are also so many.
"Sad, Nduk?" ask Mr. Hardi to Dhita now.
"Hmm, yes sad, Mr. .., but this must be the decision. In addition, Dhita also does not know will be in Natuna until when," he replied.
Mr. Harjo was so sad in his heart. The fate of his son who served in Natuna can not be ascertained will be there until how long. In addition, Mr. Harjo also knows that Dhita must be sad. The wedding plan is a beautiful plan. However, it must be delayed for an uncertain period of time. I can only wait for things to get better soon.
"Patience, Ta," said Mr. Harjo again.
"Guggih, Mr. .. it's okay," replied Ardhita.
Still a while Ardhita and Pak Harjo called after that, Ardhita was sitting on a wooden chair that was in the
her room. The girl shed her tears, while twirling the golden ring wrapped around her finger. Remember the old time Dhito before to Makassar asked her to get engaged.
Yeah, one year ago. However, now the wedding plan must also be lost. Postponed. Although not know, postponed until when.
"When this ring was embedded in my ring finger, you said that one year after, we would get married. You're gonna ask me, Mr. Dhito. However, it must now be postponed. Of course I'm sad, but it's like this is the only way left."
What Ardhita experienced was also experienced by young couples at that time. When their love must be hindered by something invisible, Corona. When the wedding plan is in sight, it should also be postponed due to completely unfriendly circumstances.
Ikhalas, patience, and trust. That's what Ardhita can do now. Hope this patience will bear sweet fruit in the end.
