A Friend from Malaysia

Grandfather Abidin

Penang Island (Penang),

After the Department of Anxiety and Trauma (IGD) after the accidental accident of the fall of Sonia's wheelchair which ended in the help of a patient named Dimas to cause the person to get emergency help, he said, Yola and Ilham returned to the hospital's front office to continue Sonia's administration for a CT scan. The three with the aunt Saripah, Ilham and Yola also faithfully wait for Sonia to finish doing the CT Scan procedure. But because the CT scan results did not come out immediately after the scan was completed they all returned to the treatment room Sonia.

"Sir, aunt is not good if you're only alone with Sonia? Ilham wanted to bring Yola overnight to Kampung Baru only," Ilham told Makcik Saripah.

Ilham intended to bring Yola to visit Kampung Baru, the home of Datuk Abidin, his brother Atok Yahya even though it was only for a night of two nights. The last time they came to Penang for a honeymoon, Iham did not have time to bring his wife to be introduced to the Nirwan family. Even when their wedding ceremony the family from Penang came to give prayers and blessings, in fact only a few of them could come. Others are busy with their daily routines and work so they cannot come to congratulate or even know Tengku's grandson-in-law Yahya Nirwan. And since they are here again, Ilham will take advantage of this moment to bring Yola to the Nirwan family's mansion in Penang.

"Duuh Abang, if the aunt alone is guarding here, pity the aunt donk," Yola responded.

"Nothing, baby. Aunt if ade ape-ape can call the caretaker to help please ape-ape needed Sonia. Brother wants to take Yola overnight to his brother Atok's house. Datuk Abidin names him. Mase we came here first when the honeymoon, brother did not have time to bring Yola. Well, now kite ade also opportunity to return here, it's not wrong if kite visited there? Poor Datuk Abidin. Only living alone is alive today. He must be sad to lose Atok Yahya. So the kite must also entertain him so that Datuk Bidin can feel good because he had visited his grandson and grandson-in-law his favorite brother. It's not his fault, is it?"

Since Inspiration had said so, then Yola had nothing else to refute.

"Sonia's sister, forgive us yes. We went to his brother's house first in the new village. Maybe I'll stay there. But relax, Aunt Saripah is here and if you need anything you can call a nurse first. If there is a very emergency and urgent condition can call us. You can do that, right?" This time it was Yola who spoke to the aunt and Sonia.

The words of Yola and Ilham were of course immediately agreed upon by Makcik Saripah. From the beginning he was invited here by Ilham and Yola and given more money as a salary of course to keep Sonia, including when these two employers were not here.

And so it was with their personal driver, the two married couples were immediately escorted to the new village. Their arrival was warmly welcomed by the family of Datuk Abidin Nirwan, the younger brother of Atok Yahya.

"Ilham, are you coming?" greet the grandfather whose age is only two years from Atok Yahya.

"Yes, Tok! Ilham ade here with Yolanda. Grandpa hasn't seen him yet, has he? She's Ilham's wife, Tok!" imham said while embracing the wife's shoulder.

But then Yola brushed off the brother's hand and inching to cross the Datuk's hand.

"So, this is Yolanda. I'm sorry I just came here" Yola said after kissing the old man's hand.

"Yolanda?" The old man's forehead looked shriveled.

Whether it's just Yola's feelings, it seems his grandfather Ilham this one seems a bit less well-come to him.

"You're Sonia's wife, right?"

The response from Datuk Abidin made Yola feel speechless. Yola looked at Ilham with a questioning gaze, demanding an explanation. Yola always thought all this time all the Nirwan family accepted her, supported her, but this time why did Yola feel otherwise huh? Yola really needs an explanation.

"Tok, Ilham is divorced from Sonia. Yola Ilham's wife from long ago. Grandpa forgot to?" tanya Ilham gently tried to remind. "Ilham knew that Datuk had never met Yola before, but Atok must have heard that long ago when Ilham had not yet left for Berlin, Ilham was married to Yola, grandson of Atok Yahya's friend. Grandpa doesn't remember?"

Datuk Abidin stared at Yola sharply and gave Yola goosebumps.

"Don't remember," he answered with eyes still scanning Yola from toe to head.

Inspiration took a long breath. Ilham had indeed heard from other relatives, who came from Penang during his wedding ceremony that the health condition of the Datuk did decline at that time so that they could not attend on the wedding day Yola and Ilham. If not wrong at that time they said that Grandfather Abidin suffered from dementia (senility). Though his age was even younger at that time than Atok Yahya.

"Well if Datuk does not remember" said Ilham resigned. "But Atok, try Atok look again Yola a little longer so as not to forget again with Yola later," later.

"Ekhhemn .." Dehem the old man, instead, took his eyes off Yola.

Datuk Abidin is now flailing towards the outside.

"Where's at all? He's not coming?" tanyanya makes Yola and Ilham look at each other.

Yola looked confused.

"Tock...." The confused explanation.

Surely at this time senunnya grandfather Abidin is rumbling again. He must have forgotten that Yahya had died. Aihhh, it really makes his heart become upset.

"No, you shouldn't have come here to see my grandfather, right?" said Abidin.

"Hmmm...."

"Cough, Bang Ilham's kenape and brother-in-law didn't come to know Fi'i?"

In times when Ilham felt cornered by the demands of Datuk Abidin who asked about Atok Yahya, fortunately Syafi'i came to save it.

"Bang, Hafiz didn't come?" ask Syafi'i while taking a wanderlust too.

"No. Brother here is not a holiday. So how can he come here? He also has many jobs in KL," replied Ilham.

"Yaaaah, but it is fun if there is Hafiz," replied the Shafi'i with a manyun face.

"Eeh, with brother not fun?" Ilham pretended to protest at the two-time cousin's words.

"Not fun. Brother was married too, how to have fun dizzy with a man who already has a baby. Haiss, if there's Hafiz, we can dizzy looking for young girls on Gurney Drive for food" the man said.

"If you just want to find food, happy (easy) je tu. I'll go with your sister-in-law, Yola. He loves to ride on Gurney Drive. Isn't that right, honey?"

Yola nodded in affirmation, although her mood became a bit worse as Grandfather Abidin seemed to be less than happy with her, but instead remembered Sonia as the wife of her husband.

Meanwhile Datuk Abidin decides to return to his room and leave his grandchildren to chat with each other.

"Eh, brother-in-law have you been to Penang?" ask Syafi'i again.

Yola nodded.

"Earlier a few months ago with my brother" replied Yola.

"If kenape doesn't stop here?Brother ni juge, how come to Penang but do not stop? It's like you don't have a family here!" syafi'i to Ilham.

Yola immediately pinched her husband's stomach before she heard other embarrassing things.

"Abang! By the way it's filtered. Iss ... This brother!" gertak Yola is sebal.

"It's true ape brother kate, right? You see the result ..." Inspiration caress Yola's belly, show off.

"Ihhh, what? Shame to know ..." Yola pinched Ilham's hand. You can show off something like that in front of others.

"Abang Ilham ni is shameless," scorned Syafi'i. "Belderless anyway. Dah know kite no couples want to show up pulak. It's not worth it, it's not worth it!"

"Hey, if you're jealous, you're married too. Hafiz was soon to be married. Shafi'i himself became a weathered bujang. Hahaha.." by Ilham.

"Haiss!! Brother please find me if that's the case. Just know how to poke je," he grumbled.

Ilham laughed out loud at the grunts of the Shafi'i. They were still making fun of each other and flirting when Datuk Abidin's daughter came and told them to eat.

"Ilham you and Yola will spend the night here, right?" tanya Makcik Aminah, the name of the daughter of Grandfather Abidin.

"Hu um, yes Uncle. But we were not long. This too we came to Penang to bring Sonia to repent so that there happened to be a leave together anyway," replied Ilham while bribing rice prepared by Uncle Aminah for him and Yola.

"Oh, like that? Sonia's not well yet?" tanya Makcik Aminah.

The last time he went to Kuala Lumpur to attend his nephew's wedding, he did see how the former wife of Ilham was.

"That's it, Uncle," replied Ilham as he sighed.

"Family she really doesn't want to take care of him? Be merciful to you and Yola. Dah getting divorced still makes it hard for you and Yola. How can the two of you calm down like that?"

Inspiration shrugged his shoulders. Lazy to comment on that. Her past and marriage to Sonia if discussed continuously will be endless. Only if Sonia can be as healthy as ever before might she be able to escape from Sonia.

"Sonia is sick?" askanya Makcik Aminah again.

"Come, Aunt. Inspiration is confused to explain. But this is why he has complications. All parts of his body were damaged inside. We also brought him a CT scan after being examined by dr. Tan, internist at Healthy World Hospital. But the scan is not out yet," replied Ilham again while sipping water in front of him.

Discussing Sonia, Yola again remembered the doctor who specialized in heart and blood vessels contact she got from the mother of the Indonesian patient. He remembered there was a photo of the doctor and a woman-like person who had twice tried to pick things up from him. A woman named Andini Y. Is it just a coincidence that his name is the same as his sister Ilham who was lost in his home as a baby? But if not for what the girl had been following him since he was a child? Yola could not believe that the girl was just an ordinary pickpocket. Why would he pickpocket if he had a job in the N-one market? That doesn't make much sense? Then the picture with a heart specialist named Abraham Joseph, it seems they are familiar, like father and son. If he has the father of a heart specialist, or at least his relatives, the possibility is small if the profession is pickpocket?

"Yola, the food's bad?" tanya Makcik Aminah disperse daydreams Yola.

"Hmm?" Yola was stunned for a moment, then realized that from now on she was just stirring rice and side dishes on her plate.

"Disgotten food? Want to make the others?" tanya Makcik Aminah offers.

Yola shook her head slowly.

"Ahh, no, Uncle. It's delicious, really. This is Yola eating huh?" yola said as he spooned the rice again in his plate, showed it to the Aunt of Aminah and spooned it into his mouth.

"Aihh, Inspiration you must pay attention to the food Yola. You don't look at him skinny like this. How powerful would it be if Yola gave birth later?" omel the aunt.

"Well, Aunt. Inspiration continues this wrong," lamented Ilham while squinting his eyes at Yola. "Darling, finish your food. Later brother also blamed Makcik."

Although not so tasteful, but eventually Yola spent her rice even though leaving a little side dish on her plate.

"Abang, did this accompany me to minimarket N-one donk?" pinta Yola's.

"Son ape?" ask Ilham. "If only want to buy snacks (smiles) here there is also a shop, right Makcik?"

Aunt Aminah nodded.

"Rubber. Yola wants to buy ape? Later the aunt told the slaves to buy snacks for Yola," said Makcik Aminah.

Yola shook her head.

"Yola does not want to snack, but Yola wants to find something in the mini market," replied Yola.

"Search what?" ask Ilham.

Inspiration no longer remembers the story of Yola about the girl he had met in Penang a few months ago and he suspected was Andini.

"Finding something long gone" Yola replied.

And that made Ilham even more frowning he did not understand.

"Ape?" ask again.

"Ihh, my brother is chatty. Want to accompany me? Or did I go with the driver?" Yola with a face began to frown now as if threatening Ilham with his scruffy face.

"Yes, yes. I'll send Yola wherever she goes. To the end of the world I'll send you, Honey ..."

"Gombal teroooos ..." Yola's lips made Ilham and Aunt Aminah laugh to see the pregnant woman rumbling.

They were unaware of Datuk Abidin who had been watching Yola from afar.
