Ariana For Rangga
Episode Forty
"Doctor Rangga? So, Doctor really is Rangga Aditya who used to help me?"
Arin looked uncertain even though he had expected it before.
"Yes, do you remember now?"
Replied Rangga with a hopeful look.
"God's Masya.. I feel like a familiar Doctor's face, like I've met before."
Arin looks like a sumringah.
"Arin, do you know Doctor Rangga?"
Ardan looked increasingly confused.
"This is the loh bang that Arin once did when Arin's motorbike broke down on the road. It happened a few years ago that Arin had told Abang if his KTP was left behind in Arin."
Arin explained to Ardan.
Who is this guy? Why does Arin seem so close to her? What don't-don't.. Ah, what am I thinking. Even if this guy is my partner, it's none of my business.
Inner Rangga.
"Oh, yes I remember now. Doctor Rangga, thank you again for helping my family twice."
Ardan.
"Sama-sama Bang. Humans should help each other."
Rangga replied awkwardly.
Alright, family. It turns out they're married..
"By the way, a few years ago I also went to this hospital to visit my friend's parents, it seems I also saw Doctor Rangga here."
"Yes, even you found the keys to my bike and gave them to the security guard, and I have to thank you for that too."
Reply Rangga.
"I didn't even know it had a doctor, because I was in such a hurry that I was on the security guard."
Answer Arin.
"Yes, the security guard also said that the one who found her was a sweet, good-natured girl."
Seloroh Ranges.
"I did not think that it turned out that the person who helped me at that time was a Doctor, I actually had negative thinking and thought Doctor Rangga had bad intentions towards me."
Arin said with a laugh.
"Beware it is indeed necessary Rin, especially when it is indeed a dangerous situation for a girl pushing a motorcycle alone on a deserted road."
Reply Rangga.
"Well, so nostalgia is the story.."
Continued Ardan who had been only a generous listener since.
Arin and Rangga smiled.
"Again, thank you very much Doc, because it has helped a lot."
Ardan.
"Just call Rangga, actually I am not in a period of duty. I was on sabbatical to continue my studies and had just arrived from America when Doctor Indra came to see me."
"Studying far into America? That's good, because the community must be in desperate need of very reliable medical personnel like Doctor Rangga."
Praise Ardan.
"If you're a doctor, why continue the study?"
Ask Arin.
Rangga. He couldn't say honestly if one of the reasons he went to America was to forget the girl he was now in front of him. And of course, also because he felt it was very necessary to deepen his knowledge.
"Daddy, being a doctor is not easy. Smart is not enough, we must also have adequate knowledge and experience. It's true Doc.."
Rangga smiled as he nodded in agreement.
"Excuse me Doc, Doctor Rangga awaited Doctor Bayu in his room."
A nurse called Rangga.
"Oh, Good Sus. I'll be there soon."
Reply Rangga.
"Well, Arin, and.."
"Ardan Doc, my name is Ardan. Arin's brother."
Ardan introduced himself to Rangga.
So, this man is Arin's brother and not her husband? Gosh darn.. I could have guessed wrong..
Inner Rangga.
"Yes, Mas Ardan. So for a few days Grandpa Jailani will be hospitalized, at least until the stitches are dry. We also still have to look at Grandpa's development. And because at this time I myself am actually still on leave, maybe Jailani's grandfather will be treated by Doctor Ilham and Doctor Indra."
"Okay Doc, then we'll excuse you. Come Dek.. Assalamualaikum Doc."
"Getishalight."
Reply Rangga with a smile.
Arina.. Is there a chance for me to get to know you further? Even if I can, I want to make you my life partner. O Allah.. Is my desire excessive? Can I ask him to be my servant?
Rangga was still silent staring at the door that had just closed. It was hard to believe that the girl he had been in love with had just sat in front of him. And that makes him feel relieved, because it turns out Arin still remembers it.
Rangga opened his white coat, then rushed to see Doctor Bayu, his papa.
"What makes this young man come home? Yesterday mom said you're not going home this holiday because there's a lot of activities?"
Doctor Bayu welcomes his son who has just arrived.
"Ehm, yes indeed initially Rangga did not intend to go home anyway Pa. But, there's something important. Rangga must meet someone."
The answer.
"So, who is the important person you really want to meet until you defend coming home from America? Is she your boyfriend?"
Rangga just smiled knot.
"But thank goodness you came home at the right time, because your sudden return saved the life of one patient."
"Yes Pa, and it just so happened that the patient was the family of Rangga's friend."
Answer it awkwardly.
"Alright, Papa understands now. So is it because of her that you suddenly came back from America without even telling Papa and Mama?"
"Son, that's not what Rangga Pa means.."
Rangga looks starting to wave.
"Rangga, you're Papa's son. And Papa understands your attitude the most. Now that you look misbehaved, it means that there is something between you and the grandson of that patient. Is Papa's guess right?"
Rangga sighed deeply. He knows there's no point keeping secrets from Papa. Even if in this world only one person can be trusted, Rangga will choose his own Papa.
Although he rarely shares secrets with his father, but he knows that his father is a very trustworthy person, especially in keeping secrets.
And no matter what way, her father always understood what she was thinking.
Finally, Rangga told all to his papa. Starting from his meeting with Arin, how he felt about the girl until finally fate brought them back together.
"Hey Bung, Papa never taught you to be a coward and a loser. If you love that girl, say it boldly. Meet his family, convey your good intentions. Your silence will solve nothing. At least, the girl knows you love her."
Rangga looked very surprised by her Papa's reaction. At first he thought Papa would sneer or even sneer at him like Papa used to do. But it turns out that this time the exception, Doctor Bayu seemed to understand what his son was going through.
"Rangga, listen. Papa used to fight desperately for your mama. Even Papa is willing to save money to be able to communicate with your mother even if only a few minutes. The time of the young Papa was not the internet and social, even to talk to people who were far away had to go through the phone shop and the cost was very expensive. But thanks to the persistence of Papa's business that can even travel from Jogja to Medan by taking a cross bus, your mother finally collapsed too."
Doctor Bayu ended his story while smiling meaningfully.
