132. Ramzi Meet



Rex was shocked when David patted her on the shoulder. He turned his head and saw David standing looking at him with a smile.


" It's beautiful, my mother" said David.


" Who is Uncle...?" rex didn't understand.


" That nurse is who else she is" said David, glancing at the last nurse who spoke to Rex.


" What the hell is Uncle. I don't think about it anymore either" Rex said, glaring.


" The time. But you saw the nurse until she blinked" said David, laughing to make Rex confused how to explain what he actually saw.


" Ck, dong yelled at Uncle. How's Grandma doing now...?" rex asked to try to divert the conversation.


" Thank God, it's much better. Your Grandma is rich like Father and Om You..," said David with a sad face.


" Yes, I thought of Uncle. Just now where to find Om Ramzi. Does Uncle have a clue where Om Ramzi lives now. If there is, let me be the sucker..," said Rex.


" Mmm.., last time Uncle saw Om You was at Gunung Jati Hospital. At that time he wore a patient's shirt, he seemed to be sick deh..," said David doubtful.


" Om Ramzi is sick what Uncle...?" ask Rex curiously.


" Uncle doesn't know for sure, son. At that time Uncle did not deliberately squirm Mas Ramzi when he again visited a sick neighbor and treated there.


" Did Bi Tini also squirm Om Ramzi...?" ask Rex.


" La. If you look, he must be hysterical. Tau yourself is your Aunt the most angry person with Om You. Uncle purposely didn't tell him to let him go. Uncle tried to follow Om You, but Uncle lost track.


" Uncle Gapapa. This could be the first clue for us. After looking at Grandma, will my Uncle go to the Hospital...?" ask Rex.


" Why go there, Mas...?" ask David.


" Want to find information about Om Ramzi. If he is sick, it means that the Hospital must keep the data right..," said Rex to make David nod.


" Ok, Uncle will meet you later. Now that you look at Grandma You used to look up to her, you kept your nanyain daritadi.., "said David while pushing Rex's body into the inpatient room of the grandmother.

That afternoon Rex and David were in Gunung Jati Hospital. They went to the information section to look for Ramzi's whereabouts.


" Good day, there is something we can help Mas..," said the Hospital Officer.


" Good day. Yes Ma'am, I want to find my Om who he said was treated at this Hospital.


" Oh yeah, whose name and what pain does Mas...?" ask the officer.


" His name is 55-year-old Ramzi. I also don't know what pain. Only one saw that I was wearing a patient's shirt..," Rex told a lie.


" Let's wait a minute Mas..," said the officer, who was called Rex.


Shortly thereafter the officer called Ramzi's data.


" Mister Ramzi whose address is on XX street yes. He had been treated here but was allowed to go home a week ago" said the officer to make Rex disappointed.


" I can tell if he is sick, Mom. You see, he never told me anything about the family so we were worried, " said Rex.


" Pak Ramzi has stage two bowel cancer. Actually, Mr. Ramzi also still had to check up two days ago, but unfortunately he did not come..," said the officer.


" That's yes. Thank you, ma'am," said Rex.


" Same Mas..," said the officer with a smile.


" So we go there now Mas..," David asked.


" yes. Not far from here..," said David while starting his motorbike.


Then David and Rex went to the address mentioned by the Hospital staff.


They arrived at a fairly densely populated housing. Rex patted David on the shoulder because he was not sure if Omnya lived there.


" No way Om Ramzi wants to stay here Uncle." whispered Rex.


" What could not be. Kan Mas Ramzi was bankrupt, bankrupt, broke. Rather than continue to endure his high prestige, it was better for him to slam his pride and stay here. That's what I think Mas..," said David sure.


" Yes too. Especially now that Om Ramzi is sick and has to save money in order to get treatment..," said Rex while observing the building of the flats in front of him with a sad look.


Then David asked one of the occupants of the flats who pointed to the second floor. David codes Rex to follow him.


They were at Ramzi's doorstep. David knocked on the door slowly and heard Ramzi's voice opening the door.


" Yes in vain.," Ramzi's voice was cut off when he saw David.


" Mas Ramzi." call David.


" David. Why are you here?, how do you know I live here...?!" ask Ramzi to panic.


" Calm Mas. I just want to say if Mamak is sick Mas..," said Daud quickly without giving Ramzi a chance to ask a lot of things.


" Mommy is sick ?. What pain is David...?" ask Ramzi gusar.


" I don't know Mas. Now Mama's hospitalized. Mas Ramon has also come called Tini because he is worried about Mamak.


David's answer made Ramzi nervous. All this time Ramzi knew the mother was fine. He was shocked when he heard the news that his mother was sick and hospitalized.


Ramzi glanced at Rex who had been staring at him without blinking.


" Who is he?, why do you think I am rich like David...?" ask Ramzi not like it.


" He is his son, Mas Ramon Mas." said David.


" Mas Ramon's son. Rex, you're Rex, right...?!" ask Ramzi enthusiastically.


" Yes Om, I am Rex..," Rex said with a smile.


" O God. You're a big Rex. Tall, handsome again.," Ramzi said as she hugged Rex tightly.


" Mas who said too long, until ga ngeh if his nephew was already big. Now he's an army officer, Mas." David interrupted.


David's words made Ramzi and Rex break each other's arms. They stared at each other for a moment then Ramzi sighed.


" So you want to force me home...?" ask Ramzi.


" Granny is sick Om. The doctor said his life was likely slim. So the doctor asked the family to come together and comfort Grandma before she left" Rex told a lie.


" O God. Mamaaakk..," muttered Ramzi.


For a while Rex and David were silent as if giving Ramzi a chance to think.


" I'm sorry Om. We have to hurry. If you want, Om can come with us now. But if you don't want to gapapa. We have to go to the hospital now so that Om." Rex said with a sad face to make Ramzi panic.


" Om with Rex...!" ramzi said quickly to the point of making Rex and David smile.


Then the three rushed to the Hospital where Rusminah was treated. David rode a motorcycle, while Rex and Ramzi used a taxi.
