Dear, Soul!!
Old Friends (1)
Fauzi sat down in the waiting room while waiting for Salwa's medicine to be prepared.
Due to her mother-in-law's request, also due to a recommendation from a doctor, Fauzi moved Salwa's routine check at the hospital. Yes, only the examination site is different, the doctor who handles it is the same doctor as in the clinic.
After being examined and getting a prescription for the drug, Fauzi immediately redeemed the drug to the Pharmaceutical Installation section of the hospital, while Salwa had returned first with his mother. This was the first time her mother had accompanied her daughter to check.
The feeling of fear is not ceaseless perched in his feelings, the more days his wife's condition gets worse and the more drugs also must be consumed.
Many things were a burden on Fauzi's mind. His mind was not just playing around his ailing wife, but his daughter as well. How Fauzi can continue to hold back Salwa's emotions that are increasingly exploding. Fauzi is very unwilling, Mikayla will find her mother in a state of anger, Fauzi is worried about the fear of mikayla that could be-so to her mother.
In addition to the internal problems, the work also took part to become a burden on Fauzi's mind.he was a director, where the state of the company was on his shoulders, he said, everything requires his signature so that he should stay in the office every day, at least four to five hours. Fauzi was thinking about resigning, but some of the projects he had started, and it was not an easy thing to just move.
“Fauzi.”
Someone's greeting dashed Fauzi's daydream. The man with a thousand frowns in his mind, slowly raised his head.
“What are you doing here?” Ask again.
“Eh? How are you?”
Fauzi did not give an answer to the question posed to him before, and asked back while showing his smile that was clearly very forced.
“I'm good, and you how? And what are you doing here?”
Not yet Fauzi replied, a call intended for a prescription on behalf of his wife was called, making Fauzi just smile for a moment then walk to the reception counter of the drug.
Fauzi was silent for a moment when he got information on drug service from the Pharmacist on duty. He remembered his wife who used to be very good at doing things like this, very professional with her work. Even Fauzi's memory had played out at the time where he first saw Salwa again after 6 years of that time. The current state of his wife, obviously would not be able to do something like this anymore.
Fauzi smiled and thanked him for the service that the Pharmacist had given him, then returned to the previous chair with Sasa, the woman who had greeted him, already sitting there waiting for him.
The half-staggering footsteps, made Sasa draw conclusions about something that was not good to happen to his ex-lover's friend.
“Ah, long time no see. How are you?” tanya Fauzi restarted their conversation.
“I'm good, you've already asked this earlier”
“Ohaha yes, I forgot” said Fauzi smiling as he scratched his non-itchy head slowly.
“You yourself how?”
“I'm also fine”
“I can't believe..”
Fauzi raised his head, looking at Sasa who had already looked at him with question mark eyes.
“Well, since I'm here and taking medicine, obviously not everything is okay right?” an enigmatic knot smile continued to be adorned on Fauzi's lips.
“Salwa hurts?” sasa asked, remembering the name Salwa mentioned earlier.
Fauzi just nodded. Seeing Sasa wearing official clothes, it was clear that he was a nurse who worked at the hospital. There was no point in him hiding the truth about Salwa, not once or twice he would go to the hospital to check Salwa's condition regularly. And again, Sasa was a nurse there. Although the identity and all patient documents are confidential, there is still a possibility that Sasa can access it.
“What pain signal?”
Fauzi was silent for a moment. Fauzi always felt excruciating pain whenever he had to answer questions about the illness his wife was suffering from.
“Alzheimer” Fauzi replied briefly.
“A-what did you say?? Alzheimer?” Sasa asked again to confirm what Fauzi had just said.
Fauzi nodded in clarification of the truth he had just said.
Sasa's eyes were half-blind. The disease, which is more common in parts of Europe than in Asia, makes Sasa half distrustful.
How can a beautiful woman with joy, suffering from a disease that will slowly swallow one by one his ability to end without healing.
Fauzi slowly told me how the beginning of the disease attacked his wife, to the conditions that occur today in the woman's soul mate. Obviously tears accompanied Fauzi from everything he told about his wife.A few pairs of eyes were on him, but people were quite familiar with the scenery as presented by Fauzi, considering this is a hospital that means people who are there are struggling with the pain they are suffering or fighting the pain of seeing their loved ones suffer from certain diseases.
Sasa listened well, his tears did not stand still, slowly dripping but quickly he ca.
“I'm sorry about what happened to Salwa. May you be given the power of”
Fauzi nodded, wiped his tears and tried to smile at Sasa.
“Still Sa..”
Sasa just nodded.
“Sa, you are no longer on duty right??”
Sasa looked down at himself who was still wearing his work uniform.
“No, I'm off today. I was going home, but because I saw you here, I stopped by first”
“Oh thank goodness. How long have you been working here? I've never seen you around here before”
“Iya, I'm new here. Just a couple of weeks. It's also natural that we never met, besides you who are busy at your job and Salwa, I also do not always come out after work”
“Ah yes, you must be exhausted every time you go home from work”
“Not really, I'm just lazy.”
“Oh yes, how about Faiq?”
Sasa only smiled knotfully, then slowly shook his head.
“Ka-you never met after that incident??”
Sasa just nodded.
“Faiq didn't tell you either??”
“Yes, I think Faiq is in trouble and will be in trouble if you call me”
“So now you? Already have?”
Sasa smiled. “I've been a stupid woman these past few years”
Fauzi's forehead wrinkled, not understanding what Sasa said.
“I have never started a new relationship with anyone else. I was just busy with my work these past few years”
“You're shifting your feelings?”
Sasa smiled. As usual, Fauzi could always guess correctly.
“You alone? Have you ever met Faiq?”
Fauzipun just shook his head. “I don't know what happened to that kid. He left without excuse and without any news afterwards. Even he quit college for no reason”
“We're the same then”
Sasa let out a small laugh, realizing the two were completely lost contact with the person they had once met every day.
“Sasa..”
Someone's call made Fauzi and Sasa turn in the same direction from the source of the voice.
A man with a good posture, thick eyebrows and a sweet smile approached the two.
“I thought you were home. I went to your place earlier, but your friends said you've come home”
“Not yet, I met my old friend, so stop by to say hello briefly”
The man looked back at Fauzi, then smiled showing his hospitality, Fauzi smiled back.
“So still want to stay first?” ask again.
Sasa saw Fauzi.
“Ah, I think I should go home too. Salwa must have been waiting for me.”
“Sometimes contact me, I also want to meet Salwa”
Fauzi simply smiled with a nod.
“If need help, you can also contact me”
“Yes, thanks Sasa”
Sasa moved on, and passed after the excuse of being with the man who was walking with him at this moment
