Between Mr. Teacher and Mr. Director

The Part 26

When I was crying, my phone rang. With still as much as I could, I grabbed my phone and I saw the name of the person on the phone screen.

“Pak Jimmy?!” I said while wiping my tears.

“Halo...” says.

“Halo, Zahra. You're still on campus?” ask Jimmy sir.

“No, mas. I am now in the hospital.” I said.

“Hospital?” said Mr. Jimmy surprised.

“Iya.” sahutku brief with a soft voice.

“You're sick, huh?” ask Jimmy

“Not me, mas.” I said.

“Lha hold who?” ask Jimmy sir.

“Dia... Her.... He's Mr. Rico, mas. Mr. Rico is in a coma at the Hospital.”.

“What? Rico is in a coma? In which Hospital?” ask Jimmy sir.

“Pak Rico is now at the Hospital where mas was yesterday in Rawat.”.

“Ya. You wait there, yeah. I'm going there now.” said Mr. Jimmy who immediately disconnected his phone.

After the phone disconnected, I looked back at Mr. Rico's face and said, “Pak, what should I do now. You both have sacrificed a lot for me and you two are also people who really love me. L'm... I really can't bear to choose one of you and also hurt the other.”

After a while later, Jimmy came and said, “Zahra, why is this?”

“No idea, mas. Mr. Gerry said, Mr. Rico, this was an accident. There's a car that hit Rico. Then, did the driver of the car get caught?” ask Jimmy sir.

“I didn't think until there, mas. Once I found out Mr. Rico was in a coma and was in this Hospital, I unconsciously went straight to this Hospital.” I explained.

Mr. Jimmy who listened to my explanation fell silent. I don't know what he's thinking.

A moment later, Mr. Jimmy said, “Ya already. Then you please take care of my brother first, yes. I have business to do.”

“Mas where to go?” my many.

“You just calm down. I'm not long, kok.” said while stroking my hair.

“Mas appointment, yes. Won't be long.” says me.

“Iya.” say it's short and then go.

After living by Mr. Jimmy, I also re-thought mamandangi mr. Rico.

“I hope, you can be safe and aware.” I murmured in my heart.

****

When the afternoon came, sure enough, Mr. Jimmy came to see me. He said, “You go home, rest. Let my Rico mas wait for him here.”

“But, mas.” my word was cut off by Mr. Jimmy because at that time he said, “No buts. Later you can get sick if you force yourself like this.”

“Mas...” again my speech was cut by Mr. Jimmy. He said, “Zahra, I dislike it the most. Pl-please... You go home and rest.”

***

At home, I couldn't sleep at all. I really thought about Mr. Rico. If only I hadn't let him go.

The next day, I met Gerry. He's in the hospital lobby.

“Mr? Father no teaching hours?” my many.

“There. But I have permission not to teach today.” said Mr. Gerry

“Why?” much

“I'm taking care of the administration of moving Mr. Rico abroad. It's just finished.” sahutnya.

“Autside?” many ensure.

“Iya, Kay. He and his brother, Mr. Jimmy, are going overseas. There his health equipment is more complete.” said Mr. Gerry.

“What? So Mr Jimmy is coming too?” many surprised.

“Iya.” sahut pak Gerry brief.

“What with going abroad there can be a guarantee that he will recover?” my many.

“Yes we just pray. Who knows succeed.” said Mr. Gerry.

“Keep now is Mr Rico still in his treatment room?” much

“No. They just left.” said Mr. Gerry.

“What?” I said again surprised.

“Oh yes, Kay. This is a letter from Mr. Jimmy for you.” said Mr. Gerry while giving an envelope.

I also immediately accepted it. But I was afraid to read it immediately.

“Thanks, sir.” says

“Iya. Same-same.” sahut pak Gerry.

We eventually separated ourselves to our destination. Mr. Gerry went somewhere, and I went home.

When I got home, I went straight into my room and put my bag on the desk.

I also slammed my body on the bed and looked at the letter that was given by Mr. Gerry to me.

With a sad and fearful heart, I opened the letter. The letter says,

“Zahra, I'm sorry I didn't tell you about this before and asked your opinion. But trust me, this is all I do for you and my brother. Please pray for me to make Rico's mas come back to consciousness and recover. After everything went well and we went home, I hoped that by then I would be able to let you go and let you go back to my brother. So then... Please wait for us patiently.”

After reading the letter, my heart suddenly felt slurred. Wh why? Why is it like this?

After tonight, I would love to start all over again and take a deep breath.

“What should I do?” gumamku.

Seriate...
