A Tale of Ary

49. The departure of Ary

"Assynoltom... Good morning to my future"

Ary smiled reading a message from his rancid patient. Yes, the message was sent by Rendy. Renaldy Pratama, who has been a patient for several months.

"Wa'alaikum salam warahmatullahi wabarokatuh. Good morning to you too."

That's about the reply Ary sent.

Across the street, Rendy and her friends laugh happily because Rendy's chat is finally answered. Because throughout history they knew, only that time Ary wanted to reply to a chat.

Rendy was cheerfully untold, finally from the many chats he sent back. He did not expect at all to get his message back. He just wants to say hello to Ary, because with a lot of greeting Ary will never forget him.

Rendy believed in the Javanese proverb "witing tresna jalaran seka kulina". By greeting Ary every day, someday there must be a growing sense of love.

After replying to the message, Ary began to focus on work. He entered his practice room and began to examine one by one his patients.

A few hours later, Ary finished the practice. He planned to go home quickly to prepare all his needs while in the new service place. He also had to tell his parents that he was sent out of town for three months.

In the afternoon he went to the clinic as usual. Because she practices in the clinic every Monday through Friday, unless no one is looking after the clinic. He'll be in charge of the clinic.

Two days later...

When departure time arrives, Ary has to go out of town to carry out duties from the hospital. He was assigned to supervise the construction of a hospital in a remote area. Because there are no hospitals in the area, the mortality rate in the area is high. To suppress it, the central government established a hospital with complete facilities.

"Goodbye, good luck always!" said Mira Ary's friend while hugging Ary.

"Aamiinu. You take care of the clinic carefully, do not often leave the clinic. If no one keeps the clinic the patient runs away. In vain dong our efforts all this time fight it clinic." message Ary.

During this time Ary is often the duty of care of the clinic compared to his two colleagues.

"There's Zaky helping the clinic. Don't you stay there for long, let's go home!" said Mira.

"You want! I can't go home soon, I have to finish my job and go home. Pray'll run the business there quickly, let's go home quickly. Can take care of the clinic together." replied Ary.

Ary left for his place of duty was delivered by a hospital car. All have been facilitated by the hospital where he served.

"If you've been there for a long time, what about the same patient you sent me? He'll come here, lose you. Why not say the same to him?" ask Mira.

"Remember don't tell me where I'm assigned! Tell me to get out of town, maybe it's hard to signal there. If you want to call me can't, you call the hospital." Ary said, getting in the car.

Ary had been waiting for a driver who would deliver him to Kulonprogo.

"I go first, remember my message!" ary said before closing the car door.

"Yes, yes! I remember all your messages!" answer Mira.

"Assalamualaikum.." said Ary while waving his hand.

"Wa'alaikum hail warahmatullahi wabarokatuh." replied Mira also waved her hand as a farewell sign.

It's been a few days Rendy hasn't met Ary, today she's scheduled to check up on her health. Rendy was very excited to go to the hospital. She dressed up as much as she could, so Ary would want to see her.

With steady footsteps, Rendy headed for the patient waiting room after registering first. Once in the waiting room, there are already many patients waiting in line to be examined.

When it comes to its turn to be checked. Rendy tidied up her clothes then walked into the check room.

"Assalamualaikum sa.." said Rendy hanging.

How shocked Rendy was to not find Ary in the room. But it's Doctor Fadli, the doctor who handled it before Ary.

"Where are Fadli doctors, where are Ary doctors, Doc?" ask Rendy to cover up her shock.

In his heart, Rendy wondered where his doctor was, why he was replaced with doctor Fadli without telling him first.

"Doctor Ary was out of town for three months. So that's how long I replaced him here. It is also possible to replace him in his clinic, waiting for certainty from the owner of the clinic where he has been practicing" explained Dr Fadli.

Doctor Fadli already knows that this one patient idolizes his juniors. Not only Fadli's doctor, even some nurses at the hospital also know it.

"Kok, long time outside the city? Usually it is at most a month, it is also because of training. Is doctor Ary in training, Doc?" ask Rendy curiously.

"Doctor Ary did not attend training but as a supervisor of the implementation of the construction of hospitals in the disadvantaged areas. He's the head of his team, so the burden of his responsibility is heavy." explains doctor Fadli.

Rendy was speechless as Ary did not say anything before leaving. So insignificant to Ary, so Ary does not want to say goodbye to him.

"Hmm, Doc! In Ary's place, sorry new doctor Ary, no tissue?" ask Rendy hesitating.

"Indeed there is still difficult network, but if PLN already exists. It's just that the place is difficult to reach, because there is still a lack of development" replied doctor Fadli.

"When you send a message, Doc? It's hard to communicate like that. If there is an urgent need that must be addressed immediately can be fatal consequences" said Rendy.

"Yes, we were there using a double cabin for vehicle access. Because that's the only thing that can fast-moving the field of travel that hasn't been built" replied Dr. Fadli.

"Okay, it's done. It has started to decrease dirt in his lungs but only slightly reduced, continue the current lifestyle. To quickly clean up completely, so it does not recur. I write the prescription as usual, please keep the medicine regularly taken." advice doctor Fadli.

"Okay, Doc! Thank you." replied Rendy while standing in the hand of doctor Fadli before leaving the room.

Rendy leaves the check room to go to the pharmacy to take the medicine. While waiting for the cure to be formulated, Rendy tried to contact Ary. But over and over again, his calls were always out of reach.

"Last night he was still replying to my message, even taunting me. Now it's out of touch, huffttt!" grouse Rendy.

**flash back on**

Rendy is idle to send a message to Ary, because for several days he sent a message always replied even though it was only short.

"Assalamualaikum, good night." Rendy.

"Wa'alaikum salam warahmatullahi wabarokatuh. Evening too!" reply Ary.

"Not slept??? It's night, sleep spouts so tomorrow I meet his fresh face. Let it be more beautiful!😊😍" Rendy.

"Aren't I pretty all this time?🙄🙄🙄" reply Ary again.

"It's not pretty, it's always pretty. But it looks more beautiful if his face is fresh, there are no black bags under the eyes.'''2 'Rendy's trying to dampen Ary's emotions.

"Related, can I see you tomorrow? If I can't see how?🤔" Ary.

"Why can't I meet? You don't want to meet me? You're angry because I mispronounced, uh mistyped the word." Rendy.

"Who is angry too? Loss of tau, increase my sin if angry. Partly if you like to be angry look old, your cake🤣🤣🤭" Ary

"Yuppss!!! Sorry️️️" Ary.

"Now I'm not angry anymore about the coke" Rendy.

"And now, tomorrow has not been caught 🤭" Ary.

"It's night, I'm booby first huh. Afraid of waking up. Assalamualaikum 👋👋👋" Ary.

"Okay, good night has a nice dream. Salam wa'alaikum.😘😘😘" Rendy.
