A Story About Us And Taste
#14
“Adelia.” Ray seemed confused by what Mr. Aaron said about his health condition. He looked at Adel and demanded an answer
Adelia enters her room and some time returns to hand over her father's medical records to Ray.
“daddy's heart condition has weakened, although we do surgery but it will not affect much. In recent months, my father has had several heart attacks and more and more days his condition is declining” explained Adelia while shedding tears
Ray just fell silent while reading the sheet.
“Nak Ray, all I have is Adelia and her mother. If I leave later maybe my wife can go back to Padang with her family there but, which I do not know how later Adel. I will probably leave quietly if Adel is there to take care of him.” Obviously Mr. Aaron
“Dad please don't talk so” bu Rani rubbed Mr. Aaron's arm by not stopping crying
Ray was silent and thought for a moment.
“Pardon om but, I can not immediately give an answer” submissive Ray
Everyone was silent for a moment.
“Ya. nak Ray I understand, sorry if my request really weighs on you.” Mr. Aaron's smile.
After a while Ray went home. On the way there was so much he thought.

Three days later,
“Del, let's dong you answer my phone del.” Laras had called Adel several times but was not answered, the barrel ran to the doctor's rest room but also Adel was not there.
Laras ran back to the cafeteria hoping Adelia would be there trying to call him back, and sure enough when she arrived at the cafeteria Adelia was talking to Ray.
“ADEL!!” shouted Laras who made people around also look towards him.
With a gasp Laras ran back towards Adelia and Ray.
“What's the Race?” Adelia and Ray seemed confused by what had happened
“I call you why it's not lifted?” snapped
“Mobile I'm charging at cs Ras, what's up? Is there anything urgent?” adelia
“Your father, Your father Del!” The barrel spoke breathlessly trying to catch his breath while pointing at the exit of the canteen. Adelia's previously bright face with a smile turned red to contain the panic
“Where is Father Ras?” adelia panic
“IGD, your father.”.
Without waiting for Laras to finish speaking, Adelia and Ray immediately ran towards the IGD. Adelia tries to focus on the IGD, praying that God would protect her father.
“Adel...” with a soft cry mother holding her daughter's hand
Some doctors are trying to provide help to Mr. Aaron, Ray also took part in checking the condition of Mr. Aaron. Adelia was only able to see it all while hugging Rani's mom.
After a while Mr. Aaron's condition has started to stabilize.
“Sit Del..” Ray leads Adel to sit next to Rani's mother
“How is dad mas?” adel's voice restrained sobs his cry
“We have to move him ICU room in a moment, currently the condition is stable but we never know a moment ahead with the condition that is still up and down.” Obviously Ray
It was like Adelia's chest was pierced by a sword right then and there, seeing her father's condition that was weakly closed on the bench with all the medical devices attached to his body.
An hour later, Mr. Aaron was transferred to the ICU. Adel kept his father there.
“Bu, let Adel take care of dad here. Mom just go home and rest yaa. later even mother follow sick if here.” Adelia said slowly
“Which may mother can rest Del, your father is currently unconscious.” Answer Miss Rani
“Daddy is fine ma'am, soon dad will wake up.” Adelia patted her mother's hand gently
“Tante, better rest first yaa, I take aunty home. Later aunty can take turns with Adelia if the aunt is not tired anymore” Ray who just entered to check the condition of Pak Aaron was feeling sorry for what happened.
“Betul bu, later if Adel tired we can take turns.” Adelia tried to convince her mother
With a heavy heart, Rani finally returned home delivered by Ray.
At night, Adelia sits pensively in the hospital rooftop. Sometimes she wiped her tears. Ray, who had been looking for her, approached and sat down next to Adelia.
“Have eaten Del?” Ask Ray
“Have you, thank you for delivering mom” Adelia looked at Ray
“Yaa. equally”.
They also looked at the city light so beautiful with their respective minds.
“Mas, can I talk?” after a long silence, Adelia finally opened the conversation
“Ya Del, please.” replied Ray
“Will Ray marry me?” look at Adelia with a clear circle on her cheek.
“Maybe it's such a selfish request but, this is the only thing I can do to make dad happy, maybe at the last moment of his life.” Adelia fell down and cried
“Del.” Ray stared at me
“I know mas Ray can not love me yet, as hard as it is I will wait for the mas. I beg.” Adel dared to look at Ray
“I love others Del, marrying you will only make us hurt each other.” Ray's Speech
Ray's soft but very painful voice was heard by Adelia.
“Can Ray help me for a moment? just until dad's condition is okay? Please tell dad that we're getting married. Mas Ray need not worry because this marriage is only temporary.” Adelia said in despair
“Del wedding is sacred, not a game. How could you lie to your parents?” answer Ray subtly
Adelia just shook her head and cried, she didn't know what else to do now. His life feels like it's on the edge of the horn.
***
It has been two days Mr. Aaron's condition has not shown significant progress. Adelia faithfully stood beside her father while chanting the holy verse of the Qur’an in her tears.
“Del, rest. Since last night you have not slept, let the mother who takes care of father” said bu Rani
Adelia just stared at Rani
“Mother will tlp you if there is anything with dad” continued bu Rani
With a giant step Adelia came out of the father's room, her beautiful face looked so pale with puffy eyes that I don't know how much she cried.
“Del..” greet Laras who happens to meet Adelia
Adelia smiled without saying anything
“have you eaten Del?” Ask Barrel
Adelia even forgets when she last ate, although Rani's mother reminded her several times to eat but she always left beside Aaron.
“Del let's eat, your face shoots really later hurts.” continued Laras
Somehow Adelia's head felt dizzy and Laras voice increasingly disappeared to be heard
BRUUGGH!!
Adelia fell on the floor. Barrel with panic shouted and asked the help of several nurses nearby to help Adelia.
