At the Sarmi residence, Syakila's room.
Syakila has finished her bath. It allows its long hair to decompose in a wet state. She went to the kitchen, saw if her sister Fatma had prepared breakfast or not?
”Asya, did you not go see your husband?” ask Sarmi. He pulled an empty bench for Syakila to sit on.
”Em, just later Mah. Tomorrow, Syakila will see him, he wants to stay there for two days and does not want me to disturb him.” Syakila said, while sitting on the empty bench.
”You can't be so Syakila, she's your husband. He really needs you by his side, as long as he's on medication. Finish eating your breakfast, prepare to go see it, accompany him.” said Fatma, advising.
”Yes, what your sister said is true, Asya. So, get ready to finish eating your food, go see your husband.” Sarmi continued.
Syakila fell silent, not responding. He scoops his own food. When he arrived in the kitchen, his family members had gathered at the dining table, living alone who was not present.
”To take you, let your brother-in-law will take you to your teacher's house.” said Fatma again.
”Wouldn't trouble sister-in-law, sister? After all, will sister-in-law not be late to work later? Path to my teacher's house and sister-in-law's workplace, different.” Syakila said.
”That's it, hurry up and eat your breakfast. If you continue to talk, your breakfast will not run out, and your departure is also hampered.” said Sarmi.
”Yes, quickly eat. I will wait for you, my working time is still 50 minutes.” Johansyah continued. He finished eating his breakfast.
”Iya, sister-in-law.” Syakila. He continued his breakfast.
A few minutes later, he finished his breakfast. Sarmi, Fatma, and the other Syakila sisters finished their breakfast.
As usual, Yuli, Ita, and Endang are escorted by Johan, their uncle. While Sarmi was escorted by Hardin to the office. Syakila went with Johansyah.
.. ..
The Rivaldi residence.
”Geo, is your mood now unstable?” ask Rivaldi.
”Don't you know! Just do your job!” answer Geo with a ketus.
”I'm not pretentious, but I can know, Geo. I know from your pulse. I could feel your mood from the pulse I was pressing. What are you thinking?”
Geo surprised, ”Nothing! Just continue your work!” sahut Geo, his voice still sounded thin.
I'd better stop thinking about Syakila first. Didn't expect Rivaldi to be able to tell from his pulse.
Rivaldi fell silent, he resumed his duties. He was giving a relaxed foothold to the nerve muscles throughout Geo's body.
”From your body temperature room I can catch if you've experienced something called trauma. Is true?” Rivaldi.
”As you have predicted.” said Geo.
”Hum, I also smell allergies on your skin. It seems like this is caused by you who have never been close or share space with others from small. You prefer to be alone. If your blood and your skin can meet the same air, you will feel calm and comfortable. But, if your skin comes into contact with the opposing one you feel disgusted to come into contact with the skin with it. Especially in addition to the trauma you experience, your allergies are increasingly becoming. Is my assumption correct?”
”Do you treat that too?” Geo answered with a question.
”I can neutralize the blood temperature in your body to not be allergic through blood. But, for the next, you yourself can recover yourself.”
Geo speechless. Rivaldi could even read that. He grimaced a little withstanding the pain when Rivaldi pressed the nerve points on his back, arms and shoulders.
”Do you feel any pain in this part I pressed?” asked Rivaldi, while pressing firmly on Geo's feet.
”It just felt vaguely I felt it.” replied Rio.
”Good, that means there is progress! After I relax your muscles, we'll rest for a while. Then, I just took you to my chemotherapy place.” said Rivaldi.
”Hum,” Suhut Geo.
Rivaldi again pressed the nerve muscles in Geo's body. He continued to do so for a few minutes, until the muscles relaxed. After that, the two of them rested for a while.
Rivaldi re-applied the oil from the guru for the bones to Geo's legs and back.
”Sunlight this morning is very bright. I take you to my garden, where you can hang your feet in the hot sun. You rest in the park while sunbathing.” said Rivaldi.
”Hum,”
Rivaldi helps Geo sit back in a wheelchair. After that, he took Geo to his garden.
”Do I have to send Ijan here to accompany you? I have to leave you, I need to take a shower now.”
”You just go take a shower. I can be alone here!”
”Alright, if there's anything, you just have to call someone. Your voice will be heard throughout my residence.” Rivaldi said, explaining.
”Hum,”
”Ok, I'm leaving. Be good here. If you feel your feet hurt when in the sun later when sunbathing, just leave it, hold the pain. After the morning rays go, then I will take you inside.” said Rivaldi, re-explaining.
”Hum,”
Rivaldi left after hearing Geo's speech. He went into his house to clean himself up.
Geo closed his eyes enjoying the hot sun that had begun to feel hot on his skin. His eyes were closed, but, his mind was thinking something.
He was thinking of Syakila, the woman who had ransacked his feelings.
Is he coming to see me here, or maybe he's going to Sardin now?
I didn't know the conversation between the two of them after I didn't listen to the conversation between the two of them anymore.
They may be meeting and sitting together. Huft, just thinking about it has made me sick.
I would love for that woman to be here, near me, to accompany me, comfort me, and strengthen me.
He heard someone's footsteps coming from in front of him. He opened his eyes, saw who was coming.
He was surprised to see the figure of Syakila in front of his eyes.
”Syakila? You here?” tanyakanya.
”Yes, am I bothering you?”
”No, absolutely not! Who are you here with?” geo asked again, he hid his happiness because of the arrival of Syakila. The woman he had just thought of and expected his arrival.
”At my sister-in-law, Johansyah. Hows it? Is there any change in your treatment?”
”So please, I don't feel anything. It seems, I am free to take medication. My disease can't be cured.”
Syakila approached Geo, holding Geo's shoulder gently. ”Don't talk like that, I'm sure you can get well. If there is no change during your treatment here, I will take you to see an expert doctor, in a well-known hospital in this city.” he said encouragingly.
”Hospital? You want me to heal or I die slowly? So fast do you want to be a widow?”
Syakila's forehead shriveled, Ah, I forgot. Geo has trauma to the hospital. If he takes her to the hospital, it will further trigger the disease.
”Em, I want you to get well soon, no other intent. Sorry, I forgot you were traumatized at the hospital.” he said, sorry.
”Syakila, the day after we have to return to the city of A.”
Syakila surprised, ”What? Lu. lusa? It wasn't until our two weeks here. There are still six days left, me..”.
”Iya, the day after we will leave at dawn.” trim Geo.
Syakila crouched at Geo's feet, she looked at Geo with a sad look, disassociation.
”But, how about your care?”
”I don't care about my treatment anymore! You don't seem willing to leave this city. Are you right thinking about my treatment?”
”I...I just met and gathered with my family..depart the day after tomorrow..the time is too fast.” Syakila said while looking down.
”You are not willing because of your family or because of Sardin?” tanya Geo, when he mentioned the name ”Sardin” was full of emphasis.
Syakila looked down again, Geo held his face, he still looked up to see Geo.
”I..”
”Hey, Syakila, when did you come?” greet Rivaldi. He accidentally cut off Syakila's speech.
Syakila and Geo both saw Rivaldi. The man looked fresh after the shower. Rivaldi saw Geo's hand pinching Syakila's chin.
Geo and Syakila realized it, however, Geo still pinched Syakila's chin, even he pressed it even more strongly when Syakila wanted to pull her face.
”Good you are here. You accompany Geo to..”
”Lusa we keep leaving for city A, you have the chance to meet her today. Go then! I don't need you here!” geo said, cutting Rivaldi's speech. He took his hand off Syakila's chin a little rough.
”But..”.
”Go! Don't waste your time here! Tomorrow, you won't have a chance to meet him!!” geo said again, cutting Syakila's speech. His voice sounded angry.
Rivaldi was silent to see the two people who were in front of him.
”You haven't left yet? Get the fuck out of here! I don't need you here! Ijan is ahead there, he will take you away!!” geo said again, his voice still sounded angry.
Syakila fell silent, Is this man still angry because of that yesterday? Didn't I apologize last night and we're fine talking? Why is he like this again? Was he angry that I fell asleep last night, and he was still singing? his mind.
He went from there slowly back his steps, then, he turned around and went out of the Rivaldi residence.
”Geo, do you not feel that you have spoken and been rude to Syakila?” rivaldi asked, he walked over to Geo.
Bugh!! One fist landed on Rivaldi's stomach. The fist was not so strong, Geo only exerted half of his strength. However, it was already able to make Rivaldi in pain.
”Ah...what's my fault Geo? Why hit me?” tanyakanya. His hand was still holding his stomach, he was sitting on the ground, regulating his breathing.
”Don't I say, Syakila can't know if I can walk again!?” geo. His voice was slow, but, it sounded angry.
”But..”.
”When you stay today, tonight, and tomorrow morning! If I still can't stand up straight with both of my legs.” Geo paused his speech.
He looked at Rivaldi who was looking at him, with a sharp look.
”Then prepare your right leg will be broken and stop hoping to be the owner of the hospital, you will be removed from your job and your name will be blacklisted.” he said threateningly.
Rivaldi was speechless, the cruel aura of this man emanated in every single one of his speech. He's not an ordinary man.
”Good, fine! I will not relax.I will take care of you, take care of you, morning, afternoon, evening, and night. You will be able to stand up straight with both your feet.” said Rivaldi, he was a little scared, however, keep calm.
”Good! I like to trust you! Take me to your chemotherapy place. Don't waste any more time!” geo.
Rivaldi nodded, he stood up, pushing Geo's wheelchair to take him to his chemotherapy place.
All the tools needed are very complete. Geo looked at all the tools Rivaldi had.
”We start now.” said Rivaldi.
”Hum,”
Rivaldi began chemotherapy for Geo, meticulously, carefully, and slowly, he trained and continued to train Geo to stand and move his legs.
.. .. ..
In Geo's car.
”Ijan, are there any unpleasant words Rivaldi said to Geo?” ask Syakila.
”No, Mistress!” answer Ijan.
”What Geo has breakfast?”
”Numbered, Mistress. The master will eat at lunch later, it's a request from the master himself, Madam.”
Syakila fell silent, meaning she was still angry at yesterday and also the one last night.
”Sorry, Mistress. Will I take the Madam to the Sardin residence or go home?” ask Ijan.
”Geo told you how?” ask Syakila.
”Master, have me deliver the Madam to the residence of lord Sardin.” replied Ijan.
”Then take me there!”
”Good, Mistress.”
Syakila picked up the phone and sent a message to Sardin.
”Kakak, Syakila on her way to her sister's house. Is sister home?”
Ting! Syakila looked at the phone screen when she heard the message notification sound. He read a reply from Sardin.
”Second is in the office. Kila wait for brother in front of the fence. Sister get there right away pick up Kila.”
Syakila replied to Sardin's chat.
”Iya, sister. Kila will wait for my sister here. Uncle and aunt aren't there at home too?”
”Yes, my mom and dad are visiting my brother papa's house.”
”Kila has arrived in front of her house sister. Brother quickly come well.”
”Ok, babe.”
As if looking at a cell phone, Sardin only reads the message, does not reply.
”Mistress, we have arrived.” said Ijan.
”Hum, I'm down here. You go back to Geo. Who knows if there's anything he needs.”
”Good, Mistress.”
Syakila got out of the car. Ijan immediately drove away from Syakila in front of Sardin's house.
Not long after Ijan's departure, Sardin's car stopped in front of Syakila.
He pulled down his windshield and opened the next door. Syakila and Sardin threw smiles at each other.
”Kila, get in the car.” he said.
Syakila according to, he got in the car, ”Where are we going kak?” tanyakanya.
”Back to sister's office.”
”Is it okay? Later there will be news with the arrival of Kila there.”
”You scared?”
”Slightly, let alone a job at the sister's office presents the latest news, the hottest among the public related to artists, models, whatever it is. Even we will not escape the gossip later. Is sister not worried?”
”Slightly! But, who would dare to present the news about me without my permission, in my own office?” sahut Sardin was so sure.
”Alright, if so, run the car to the sister's office. Kila also wants to see what kind of office sister and how big brother looks when focusing on work.” Syakila said with a smile looking at Sardin.
”You will love me more when you see my good looks in serious work.” Sardin said. He started running his car to his office.
