At the End of my Waiting

Chapter 44 (Gathering of Aldi and Megan)

Rendi tries to stand up when Nurse informs her that Nabila is conscious of her stupor.

"I have to be strong for Nabila's sake, and I have to tell Mr. Ken immediately, because I want to see Nabila happy for the rest of his life" muttered Rendi, then entered the IGD room.

Rendi's footsteps were heavy to approach Nabila, and her heart ached when she saw the woman she loved lying on the sickle bed.

"Mas Rendi is crying? Sorry, Mas, if Zahra has made Mas Rendi feel worried," said Nabila with a smile.

Rendi just hugged Nabila's body, and again shed his tears in the arms of Nabila.

"Mas Rendi why are you crying? Zahra is fine. Oh yeah, where's Rendra Mas?"

"Rendra is outside, guarded by Aldi," said Rendi.

"We must immediately take Rendra Mas, Zahra is afraid that Mas Aldi will sell Rendra," said Nabila who looks panicked.

"Honey, you calm down, Rendra's fine. Why did Zahra have such thoughts?"

"Zahra didn't know Mas either, but Zahra remembered about Mas Aldi selling someone."

Nabila must remember himself who was sold by Aldi, said Rendi in his heart.

"Darling, where it might be, Zahra calmed down, Mas told Mom and Dad, and they'll be here soon, so Rendra must be fine."

"No Mas, right now Zahra wants to go home, Zahra is afraid that someone will kidnap Rendra from us."

Rendi looked confused, until finally the Doctor went back into the IGD room.

"So, my wife is asking to go home now, is it okay?" ask Rendi.

"May Sir, but your wife must be outpatient so that we can monitor the disease she is currently suffering from" replied the Doctor.

"What disease did Zahra get?" ask Nabila.

"Darling, you're fine, it's just that we have to check your head a lot, especially now that Zahra's memory is recovering," said Rendi who is still not ready to convey the disease of brain cancer suffered by Nabila, fortunately the Doctor understood when Rendi gave the code.

"Honey, Mas want to take care of the Administration first yes, Zahra wait here for a while," said Rendi who actually wanted to see Aldi.

It turns out that Uncle and Aunt Aldi have come, and they are currently taking part in Rendra.

"Mom, sir, Rendi's friend who was guarding Rendra went where?" asked Rendi who did not see Aldi's whereabouts there.

"So Nak Aldi came home first, he said he had not finished packing clothes," replied Ms Fatimah.

It is good that Aldi has left, I am afraid that Nabila will remember something again if he meets Aldi, said Rendi in his heart.

Aldi actually still did not come home, and secretly Aldi watched from a distance.

"I'm afraid that Nabila has remembered something about our time, so I'd better get out of here before they see me. I'm sorry Nabila, I hope you're okay" Aldi murmured, then stopped the Taxi from returning to his apartment.

......................

After finishing taking care of the Administration, Rendi took Nabila to get out of the Hospital, and Nabila was so happy when she saw Rendra was taken care of by her Uncle and Aunt Rendi.

"Son, Zahra don't mind too much huh, we'll definitely help keep Rendra,"

"Thank you very much, sir. I'm sorry, because Zahra passed out, we didn't go to Mas Rendi's wedding invitation."

"It's okay dear, Mas had sent a message and apologized if we can not attend, Mas also had a courier to deliver her wedding gift. We should go home now, pity Rendra must be cold if it is too long outside," said Rendi by opening the car door for Nabila and her Uncle and Aunt to enter.

......................

The next morning, Aldi was ready to go to Jakarta, and Aldi had already established his heart to meet Megan.

It did not take long for Aldi to arrive in Jakarta, because it happened that Aldi joined his friend who brought a private jet.

Aldi decided to go straight to Andre's apartment, because he was very sure if Megan was there.

"Whatever happens, I have to see Megan, and I have to take responsibility for her Son if it's really my flesh and blood, and I'm sure Reva can accept me for who I am," muttered Aldi, then pressed the bell of Andre's apartment.

A moment later, the door of the apartment opened, but Aldi did not know the hijab girl who was currently sitting on a wheelchair.

"Mas Aldi" said Megan softly.

"Me_gan," Aldi said stammeredly, a moment later, Megan was about to close the apartment door again, because she felt ashamed to meet Aldi in a state of disability like this.

"Megan, wait, I want to talk to you for a minute" Aldi said, holding the door.

"If you came here to laugh at my fate, please Mas, I'm now immune" Megan said.

"Megan, why are you saying that? I have no intention whatsoever to laugh over the suffering of others. And I purposely came here to meet the baby you used to bear. If the baby is my son, I will take responsibility, and I will give him a living."

Megan exhaled a few times violently when she heard Aldi's words.

"The baby is no more Mas, so you don't have to take any responsibility for it."

"What do you mean there's no?" ask Aldi who still does not understand what Megan said.

"The baby I used to bear died when I had an accident. At that time I not only lost my baby, but I lost my leg."

"Innalillahi waina ilaihi raji'un, I am sorry for the calamity that befell you Megan, may you always be patient in dealing with everything" said Aldi sincerely.

"Amin, thank you so much. Mas Aldi also actually does not need to be responsible, because I myself am not sure if it is Anak Mas Aldi. I'm sorry, if in fact I deliberately used the baby I was carrying so that Mas Aldi would marry me."

"Are you and Andre married now?" ask Aldi.

"After Mas Aldi's departure from the country, I was kicked out of the house, because I had been pregnant out of wedlock, and Mas Andre was willing to marry me, she said, even Mas Andre is willing to accept the baby in my womb even though until now we do not know who the baby is who I used to bear, but I am sure if it is the baby Mas Andre, even the baby was so similar to her. I'm lucky that Mas Andre loves me so much, even when my circumstances are flawed, when I used to be an ungodly wife, and maybe all this is karma for all the deeds I've done."

"Once again I am sorry for the disaster that happened, may you always be patient in facing this test yes, I am happy to see you who are now Megan," said Aldi.

"I want to repent before it's too late Mas, I have committed a lot of sins, especially against Nabila. Hopefully Nabila will forgive me, even though until now we do not know where Nabila is."

Why is it like that? so Nabila is actually gone without a trace? though I think he moved to Lampung because he married Rendi, the inner Aldi now wonders.
