Chapter 20 - Candidates

Dirga Pov's

I threw my body on the bed at the hotel where I was staying tonight. Ah, it's relieved. My joint bones feel crumpled. How not if I spend all day on the streets. London Surabaya which takes more than thirteen hours. I haven't rested yet I've had to drive a car for three hours.

Really exhausting day. I closed my eyes, recalling Mila's soothing face. My tiredness just disappeared with a smile. Is this what it feels like to fall in love. Willing to do everything for the woman I love.

Go into the bathroom and clean my body. I want to get some rest now.

I woke up the next day when it was noon. Maybe it was because I was so tired that I slept so well. It's eleven o'clock by noon. Today I plan to go to the Hospital to see Budhenya Camila.

Remembering Camila, last night the girl even preferred to sleep in the Hospital instead of coming with me to sleep in this hotel. Surely his body aches because it has to sleep in an improper place.

-----

When I just entered the parking area of the Hospital I saw Mila who had just come down from the motorbike taxi online. I hurried down from the car.

"Let's.....!!! " i'm coming towards him.

" uh om." Mila turned and handed the helmet to the driver. I saw him carry a bag of groceries.

" where are you?." I asked

" minimart . "

" why don't you call me if you need anything."

" i don't know her phone number about Dirga . There's also a lot of online stuff."

" where's your phone?." I asked.

" what."

" which cell phone." I handed him a hand asking for a cell phone.

Mila reached into her pants pocket and put her cell phone on me.

I'll grab her phone and type something in there. Next I dialed my own phone number that I just had in Camila's cell phone contact .

My phone vibrates in my pants pocket. Okay, I managed to get the girl's phone number.

" my number is there. If there's anything just call me. Don't go on a ride." I'm re-enacting Camila's phone.

Camila frowned then shook her head. Keep the phone back in his pants pocket. I took the grocery bag out of her hand.

" i can take it myself, om. "

I don't think he's trying to take that bag back. I walked into the hospital lobby followed by Camila.

" where's Budhe's room." I asked.

" come with me." Camila walked ahead of me. And I walked after him. The hospital looks crowded because it is time for a big clock.

Mila led me into a room. The hospital room consists of four treatment beds which are all full of patients. I saw that Mother was feeding a middle-aged woman who was rubbed weakly in a hospital bed with an infusion hose stuck in her hand.

" kid Dirga kok here" said Mother as soon as I saw me approaching.

" Budhe how's it going ? Is it better. "I sit in the chair next to Mother. Camila stood behind Mother.

" Thank God it was better than yesterday. This is Mila's friend who drove me here last night."

" yes Budhe. Sorry I didn't come in last night. "

" yes, papa. Thank you for taking Mila and her mother."

" yes to Budhe. "

" just a second, Anye temene Mila iki jenenge sopo. Lali me. " Budhe asked Mother.

" oah kok yo wes lali to mbakyu. Iki jenenge nak Dirga's. "

" o owh iyo.... Dirga son this handsome. Pantes wes kro Mila. "

" She......" Mila glared at her Budhe and I just chuckled at her.

" mm. Aunt has lunch or not. Let Dirga buy. "ask Mommy

" that Mother had bought Mila in the cafeteria. Nak Dirga if you have not eaten should eat first. It will hurt. "

" Miles... Let's go and get Dirga to eat." She looked back at Camila.

" am Dirga can go eat for yourself Mother. Lagian Mila had also eaten. "

" you are living there. Lek Kasian to nak Dirga was told to go alone. You know the ins and outs of this city. There is anterin. " Mother pushed Camila's body.

" then Dirga said goodbye to aunt. Budhe.. Um.. Aunty might want to nitip something. "I'm standing up

" do not want Dirga. "

I was about to get out of the room to coincide with some of the sisters and doctors coming into the treatment room for a patient visit. Some of the sisters looked at me and I replied with a smile.

" that was her son, ma'am, "I heard a nurse ask Budhe Jasmine.

" not the sus. That's who the woman named me and the man her candidate. "

I smiled at Budhe's reply. And praying inwardly guaranteed Budhe's words. Remembering the saying is prayer.

" why am I pinched." I wiped my hand because of Mila's pinch.

" what a smile that is. Must be a word Budhe. My budhe just misunderstood me. I told you....."

" if it's true, I don't mind. "I cut off Camila's words to make the girl swerve at me.

Funny too, if his face is crashing.

I took his hand out of the room. The hand in my hand is so warm.

May I continue to carry this hand in my hands forever.
