Distance to Heart

P a r t 12

I continued to step up and did not want to hear any more babbling of the man who had been forcing me since, even now he was trailing my rare elbow.

"Are you not curious. Why would I force you to go to this hospital, Kanaya?" said it.

I turned my head, fell silent for a moment, and stared at the look. Is what he said really or pretend to just prank me?

"I'm not curious, I just want to go back to the hospital where I work. Point!" I said glaring.

"Well, you're not curious. I mean, I mean you from that hospital to this hospital. It's far, you know. About twenty miles,"

"Bodo time. Anyway I'm going back to my hospital now, period!" reply upset.

"He's the most valuable person in my life. Maybe your life too, Kanaya," he said, folding his hands.

Whaaat! The most valuable person in his life? I just met him again last week, you know, you freak, you know,"

I shook my head slowly, then gave a cross on my forehead with a cynical look. And still stepping out of this hospital, but the moment I remembered her last words made my mind go back to being distracted.

For a moment I stopped walking while thinking about the last sentence the man said. I'm really starting to wonder what he said? Then, come up question after question. Why should he come to the hospital where I work? He also forced me to go with him. Who is Razka? Is he the one who is being hospitalized in this hospital?

People who are in need of my blood, so Andra willingly traveled hundreds of kilometers just for him. And unfortunately I, for the sake of realizing that desire. The man came and forced me to go with him. So, why at the end of his speech? He said the sick man still had something to do with me. Are my ears not misheard or is this just his fluency. So he can hold me off longer, I don't know!

I immediately turned around and folded my hands under my chest, then stepped closer to him. With a cynical look, I looked at his face which made me so fed up with his stubbornness and like to force the will. Andra replied with a triumphant slanted smile as I tried to approach her.

"It turns out that there are also kepo, nih," he said casually as he grinned to stand a few centimeters away from me.

"Quick say! Who is sick in this hospital. Until you force me, to come with you?!" ask me while pointing towards his face.

"No need to pay, Kanaya. Slow down, baby. If you get angry often, you get old quickly. Let's go to the inpatient room. Will I show you who it is? Let's not be curious" she replied, pulling my hand until we both took the elevator back.

It wasn't until ten minutes, me and Andra had already arrived at the VIP room. I don't know why my feelings have changed? My heart rate is beating fast. There's a little nervousness. It looks like it's in that room. There's someone I haven't seen in a long time.

"What's wrong with you, Kanaya? Come quickly enter," asked Andra who had opened the door and first entered.

I walked slowly into the room like a bride walking towards the guarantee. There's a veiled woman waiting there. However, she seemed so exhausted that the woman fell asleep on the sofa with her face covered by a mask. My gaze turned to a bed where a young boy lay weakly with an infusion tube in his hand and an oxygen hose under his nose. The boy seemed to be sound asleep.

I saw Andra so happy to look at the sleeping child. Since the first time we met, until finally separated without any news and now we meet again after six years of separation. Just this time I saw the man's face sparkle. Seemed so happy with his radiant and fluffy smile.

"Who is he?" askaku.

"What is your relationship with this boy?"

"Try your good attention to his face. Is this little face, any resemblance to me?"

I turned my face away, the more upset I was made. It looks arrogant and outrageous this man. How not? When I seriously asked who this sick kid was to her? He turned around to ask me questions, but after I observed and looked carefully there was a clear resemblance between Andra and this child. I gawked while flinched and rounded my eyes perfectly while covering my mouth with my palm. Is he that?

I hurriedly turned to the woman who was sleeping and overcame the sofa there. I turned her back and slowly opened the mask that covered her face. Carefully, I stared at the face of this woman's face.  Who is this woman really. Just like the kid in the bed there. I think I've known this face?" I murmured in my heart

"Nur, Nurbaiti!" I said as I ventured to wipe his arm. And it's true what I'm guessing. The woman reacted, her closed eyes slowly opened and she yawned and confirmed her sitting position, but he was so jolted that he fell asleep on the couch and now there was me and Andra in the room.

"Mother Doctor! This is Doctor Kanaya's mother right?" the thrill of making sure.

I nodded and immediately sat down beside her, immediately I hugged the woman named Nurbaiti. The eyes that were glazed again. Finally not strong in the weir and slowly dripping like a chunk of ice that is looking. Full of haru, sad, happy, mixed into one. While hugging I asked the situation and his family and vice versa. For five years we have not seen each other and greeted each other. Finally, now I can meet a kind woman who is willing to take care of and give affection for my son.

Andra came closer and cleared her throat, seeing my behavior and Nurbaiti who was happy to meet again. Until Nurbaiti and I ignored Andra who was there.

"Huggle up all the kayaks of teletubbies, chicks," he grumbled, but it could still be heard by me and Nurbaiti.

Spontaneously we replied, "Let's!" then we hugged again before we finally left. Because the boy woke up and called Nurbaiti.

"Mother!"

Nurbaiti then stepped closer to the bed, deftly the woman took care of all the requests of her son. Very patient and motherly. Looking at that scene my little heart ached, it hurt so much.

My eyes are wet again. However, soon I rubbed it rough with fingers.

"Kanaya, please accompany Nurbaiti to lunch. Before I came out looking for you. I ordered food for lunch today" Andra said, touching my shoulder.

"Lha, you don't eat? Mr. Andra and the Doctor's mother ate first. Let me just be here. Later if there is time, I can buy it myself" replied Nurbaiti.

"No, you are Nurbaiti. Eat with Kanaya in the cafeteria. If I could later. I want to be here together with this cool hero" explained Andra smilingly looking at Razka's face.

While I was just silent. This pain was not only in my heart, but also down to my stomach. I've been feeling pain since. Since he was still in the car when he headed to this hospital. Because at breakfast I only drink a glass of UHT milk.

Seriate...
