The day was still drizzling, even the sky was still so dark as to accompany Erika's footsteps that delivered her parents' departure to their final resting place.
Crushed melting uncertain. The test after test that Erika felt really made her weak and helpless.
The feeling of wanting to be happy and reunited with both parents is now extinct and gone.
The hope of taking refuge with her parents because of the pain she was suffering from was also gone.
Now... Erika could only stare at the poignant look of her parents who were beginning to be piled up by the ground. Go ahead of her meet the creator.
Though Erika thinks if her age is not long, but the reality is, destiny says another.
The tears and drizzling rain that fell mixed into one with the tears that had not stopped flowing.
Erika sincere ..
But still the pain.
"Patience is strong yes" whispered Nindi who had been continuously beside Erika. Even the girl was now embracing Erika's arm tightly. Afraid of Erika falling and not being able to stand for too long.
Erika sighed and nodded slowly. He rubbed his wet face repeatedly.
The funeral procession lasted a long time because of the rain that continued to pour.
Ervan and Danar's doctor stood in unison looking at Mr. Jonas' funeral. Their faces also bore deep sadness. However, Mr. Jonas is quite close to them even with all the problems that exist.
Ervan's parents were also there, they delivered the departure of their former besan candidates.
The prayer was offered by one of the religious leaders present. Makes the mood even more sad.
Cold drizzle spots as if they do not make them disturbed. Until the funeral procession is complete, then the mourners who were present immediately disperse themselves.
And now, stay with Erika along with Nindi, Ervan and also Danar doctor. Maira did not go, because of the drizzling day and also because of her considerable pregnancy. Not even to serve, because the mother of the doctor Danar forbade her.
Erika knelt before her father's grave, wiping the tomb with a bitter look.
"Be sincere, do not be mourned so that they may be calm there. Forgive everything that ever troubled your heart. Pray that all is well" Danar told Erika.
"Yes the doctor" Erika replied with a quivering tone.
"I say yes first. Maira apologized for not being able to attend" Danar said.
Erika smiled faintly and nodded.
"I understand" he said.
"German, Nindi. I go home first. Assalamualaikum" doctor Danar's statement.
"Yes doctor. Waalaikumsalam" they answered.
Nindi looked at the departure of Danar's doctor and turned back to Erika who was still looking down at her parents' tomb.
"We're home?" bring Nindi.
"We continue the prayer from home" asked Nindi again as she rubbed Erika's shoulder gently.
Erika sighed heavily and immediately nodded slowly.
He moved slowly and was helped by Nindi. Ervan looked at him with a sad look.
They also left the tomb. Erika looked once again at her parents' tomb. And instantly turned his pathetic-looking face away. Pallid and puffy because they keep crying.
Well, how not to cry, not only the departure of her parents that Erika cried, but also the departure of those who left such a big wound.
The painful reality that even today is still a secret that makes Erika's heart uncertain.
If he's not his mother's son, then whose son is he? Why is it that only now her father says such a painful thing. Why not since long ago???
"Uuhhhg" Erika immediately moaned and almost squawked when she arrived her waist hurt again. Making Nindi who had been embracing her arms seemed to gasp and also almost squishy because it held Erika's body higher than her.
"Erika" said Ervan who swiftly held Erika's body.
"It hurts again?" ask Ervan.
Erika nodded, but a few seconds later she fell back weak and unconscious. Ervan and Nindi panic.
"Oh Allah Erika" murmured Nindi.
Ervan immediately lifted Erika's body into her sling. Erika's body was so weak, even her extremely pale face made Ervan worry.
"We're taking him to Nin's hospital" Ervan took a brisk walk to his car.
Nindi nodded and immediately ran to open the car door for Ervan.
They immediately took Erika to the hospital. It seemed that Erika indeed could no longer linger long standing and was exhausted. Especially with this kind of pressure.
Even when the hospital, Erika immediately get a fairly serious treatment, because suddenly her weakened condition.
And faithfully, Nindi and Ervan were always by Erika's side that day. Even to tonight.
"Nin... Where are you going?" ervan asked Nindi. Currently they were sitting on the sofa in Erika's treatment room.
"No Van, I told you my mom would stay here" replied Nindi.
"If so I go for a while. Let's see Akbar with Ayu. They must be worried about looking for Erika from last night" Ervan said.
"Oh yaudah, but later if you come here bring food. I like to snack on it" pinta Nindi with her little laugh.
"To be safe" Ervan replied.
Nindi smiled as she looked at Ervan's departure. And after Ervan left, he immediately laid his body on the sofa.
It had never been imagined before, if Nindi would be this good at people who had once been their sworn enemies. And now, it's getting close. Very amusing.
But yes how else, he also could not bear to see Erika who was like this. In any case Nindi was grateful, if not for Erika who made her go to the hospital and lost her memory that day, maybe until now Nindi would have never heard Brian who revealed his heart.
If the incident had never existed, perhaps their feelings would have been feelings that would continue to be pent up until an inexplicable time.
Remembering about Brian....
How is he now...
It's only been half a year....
And there's still a year and a half left...
It's still so long and so long.
Are their feelings the same? Is he the old Brian if he comes back???
I don't know...
Only God knows....
...
Next morning....
Erika was already sitting and leaning on the bed. His face was pale and pale. The infusion hose was embedded in his back so he could not go anywhere now.
Nindi was feeding him, but only a few spoons and Erika was no longer willing.
"A little Er" said Nindi.
"My stomach is sick of Nin" Erika replied.
Erika immediately snorted hearing that.
"Who's pregnant?" asked Ervan who immediately approached them, making Erika even more upset.
"You guys why the hell, get pregnant from where to try." Erika grumbled. Making Ervan and Nindi laugh at that annoyed face.
"Handering doang. Also, Ervan is not likely to do it before marriage. Yeah" Nindi teased Ervan.
"Why me?" ervan asked as he grabbed the apples on the table and devoured them quickly.
"So who else, who is close to Erika is just you doang" said Nindi with a small laugh.
"Substantial" snorted Ervan.
Erika just shook her head slowly and looked at her hand.
"Why am I on the infusion. I will go home" asked Erika while looking at Ervan and Erika alternately.
"Your condition was very weak last night, so inevitably you have to be infused. Doctor Danar also did that" Ervan replied.
"But I want to join in sending prayers at home" said Erika with sorrow.
"Rik. Last night I was with Ervan also sent a prayer for your parents. No need to be home. Can here. You also have to be treated now" said Nindi.
Erika looked at Nindi and Ervan alternately.
"Do you know my illness?" ask Erika.
Nindi and Ervan smiled and nodded.
"We are friends, there is nothing to hide anymore Rik" said Nindi.
Erika immediately bowed softly.
"Are we not someone else. So no need to worry anymore" said Ervan anyway.
"But I really don't feel good bothering you guys. How about .... costs here. I have that kind of money" Erika said so softly and embarrassed.
It was enough of his outrageous behavior first, and why they were so kind to him now. Erika was really embarrassed.
"You just calm down. Doctor Danar doesn't ask for any payment. We just need to find a kidney donor for you. After all, the procedure to wash your blood before you get the kidney is also not too expensive" said Ervan.
But Erika was still not good..
"Now you focus on your recovery. Don't think of anything. Akbar Ayu is waiting for you at home" added Nindi.
Erika turned to Ervan. Why he doesn't remember the two kids. They must be looking for Erika right now.
"Last night I went home, I also sent people to take care of them and take care of them as long as you are not around. You are calm" said Ervan.
"Right" asked Erika.
Ervan nodded.
"Tuh, I also asked Ayu to make your clothes" said Ervan, pointing to a small bag on the sofa.
Erika sighed and nodded slowly. It seems he can't dodge anymore.
And inevitably have to be in the hospital for a long time.
Until suddenly their attention was diverted towards the door that was knocked. And it turns out that Danar's doctor came in with Maira.
"Assalamualaikum" they said
"Waalaikumsalam" Ervan and Nindi answered. Erika was just heard muttering.
"Erika. Sorry I couldn't come last night" said Maira, who walked closer to Erika.
Erika smiled and shook her head.
"What is Mai. You can't go" said Erika.
Maira smiled bitterly and nodded. She slightly shifted and let her husband check on Erika.
"Where are you?" maira asked again while watching Danar's doctor who was checking Erika's blood pressure.
"It's good for Mai" replied Erika.
"Well, your face is pale. Even passed out last night Mai again" Nindi fought
Erika immediately smiled bitterly and closed her eyes at a glance as the syringe pierced through her arm.
"Where are you?" ask Maira.
"The other day started washing blood. I prepared all of it. And kidney problems are still sought, hopefully soon to meet" replied doctor Danar.
"I also helped the doctor. And said papa's friend who wants his kidney donorin. It's just that, it's not certain" said Ervan.
Erika's eyes glazed over hearing that.
"Again, I took care of you" murmured Erika.
"Hey.don't be. We are friends" said Maira.
"Know this, sayin don't think strange really" said Nindi.
Erika was crying. His heart is very sensitive now. He was really embarrassed and not very good. He doesn't want to be like this. Although Erika was happy for their attention, but if it was possible to choose, Erika would rather not be helped like this. Erika was embarrassed, she remembered how their past was, but why now they were replying to her with such kindness. Indeed, Erika would rather be hated than treated well by them.
Shame.
"Hey ... Why are you crying?" ask Maira
Erika shook her head and wiped her tears.
"Erika.." call Maira again.
"Why are you treating me like this. I'm mean to you, but you're so good. Please don't do this, I .. I really feel guilty.. huuu" Erika immediately cupped her face and cried loudly there.
Doctor Danar sighed and immediately retreated backwards. Letting Nindi who approached and directly sat beside Erika. He grabbed Erika by the shoulder and rubbed her gently. Makes Erika more crying in her arms.
"Don't do that. Which no longer remember. Otherwise we wouldn't be like this. You are not necessarily changing, Ervan is not necessarily like now, and we will not be able to get close like this" said Nindi.
Erika was still crying sobbing so sadly.
"Erika. everything has passed and made it a lesson. Don't be sorry anymore. Everything can make you better" said Danar doctor.
"We're friends now. Don't feel guilty anymore" said Maira anyway. He rubbed Erika's arm gently.
While Ervan looked at Erika with a sad look. He remembered how their last meeting was when Ervan broke off the engagement. Said he hated Erika so much. Don't even want to see her anymore.
And now, it feels like Ervan really regretted his words back then.
Especially when I see Erika now. Erika whose life is filled with misfortune.
"Don't think much about the things that make your mind hurt Erika. There are many people who are interested and remember Allah. God willing your heart will be calm" said Doctor Danar.
Erika released her hug from Nindi and directly rubbed her wet and pale face.
"From now on, consider us your friends. Not anyone else. Okay" said Nindi.
Erika smiled with lips that quivered holding back the cry.
"Thank you very much. I don't know how to repay your kindness" Erika said with an uncertain feeling.
