Distance to Heart

P a r t 16

Because of this afternoon kidnapping drama that was done by Andra. Forcing me to come along without telling her where the man was going to take me? So as to create a furor like this and must be straightened out immediately so as not to occur protracted misunderstandings. Because this problem is just pure misunderstanding.

Not what kind of kidnapping is imagined and promoted by many people? However, after I myself find out what the truth is? That Andra forced me to go with her. Because he wanted me to meet Nurbaiti and Razka at the hospital. This is where I just found out, the intention of his arrival forced me, but it made me happy and happy not kepalang.

Although at first, I was angry and very upset with his behavior, but I was really surprised, amazed, and moved because I finally got to meet Razka and Nurbaiti. Two people I've been wanting to meet and I'm looking for. It's not that I haven't tried to find both of them in the last five years.

Two or three times I went back to the remote village, but two or three times the result was nil. After I asked the neighbors around the Nurbaiti house a year ago. Apparently Nurbaiti and his entire small family had left his village to another area.

Then I went to Mariana, my best friend who was my midwife and co-worker in a remote village. With a view to knowing more clearly. Where does Nurbaiti and his family live now? But unfortunately, the woman had moved on duty to another area. So that his position as a midwife Puskesmas kelurahan has been replaced also with a new midwife who has now served there.

It felt very sorry, at the time I visited the village again. It turned out that the decision to leave the village and prioritize my duties and lectures in a desperate area at that time made me finally forget about the person who was as important as family in my life. The boy and Nurbaiti. The woman who had been helping to care for and provide affection for my son replaced my position as a mother.

Suddenly he left the village with his family. Until I finally lost contact with Nurbaiti, I broke up with him about the situation and Razka's growth and development in toddlerhood. Maybe this also has something to do with the activities I live. So that I neglect my other obligations besides my family at home. As a result, I have to bite my finger, because I can no longer communicate knowing the growth and daily life.

After cleaning myself, I chose to lay down on the bed instead of having dinner with family members downstairs. Anyway, this stomach feels full because of joining the afternoon meal together with Andra in the car to go home earlier.

If I remember the incident, I also wonder about myself. Why can I suddenly become a talkative person while in the car. Unknowingly I went to eat a pack of Padang rice together with Andra. Two hours ago, I had lunch with Nurbaiti in the hospital cafeteria. I regained my senses from the daydream when the phone rang loud enough in my ear. I saw Erwin's name imprinted on the screen. Immediately I raised the call.

"Hello yeah, what's up, Win?" my sap started this conversation in the air.

"What are you busy with? I never answered the phone all day, what else was the message. Though I sent many times and everything ticked two?" the man's blur who seemed to be holding back his anger sounded from the intonation of his voice.

"Yes, for that matter, I'm really sorry. There was a sudden operation that took a long time to handle. So the phone, I live in the locker," I answered lying.

"Sudden operation! What time?" Erwin.

"Pas wants lunch, suddenly there is a patient who suddenly collapsed. So I had to step in to do a cito operation,"

"Operation cito, does it really matter?"

"The operation of the cito, is an operation for patients that must be followed up quickly. Because if not, his life could be threatened" I'm obviously upset.

"How many hours' operation?"

"Almost four hours. What the hell are you, Win. Ask that kayak? I don't believe in me, though,"

"I'm sorry, just finished the tumben. You didn't answer me, what else the message was. Though I have sent hundreds to your mobile phone, but boro-boro answered. I don't see it either," he was upset.

"Well, we both apologize, yeah. The important thing now is to hear the reason and that's the risk of having a doctor's wife. Yes, I'm ready, I want to sleep. I'm so tired today,"

"But, Kay. I still miss you, we can't talk any longer,"

"Yes okay-okay I understand, but tomorrow I'll take you home from work, let's have dinner together, how?"

"Okay, but don't be late at night, because I have a morning schedule, there are patients who want control of the womb,"

"Sip" Erwin replied briefly.

After ending the call from Erwin, I immediately turned off the phone, then prepared to go to sleep, but not yet five minutes lying down. The phone rings again. At first I was cute and lazy to lift it, but the phone rang so that inevitably I had to lift it.

With only a touch in the darkness of the room, I took the phone and opened the screen. apparently a row of foreign numbers printed on the phone. Then I want to turn it off so that the phone can't ring anymore, but after I observe the profile picture. The one who called me was Andra.

"Sorry, is this really the phone number of Doctor Kanaya Nadhira's mother?" he said with a made-up tone.

"Yes right, there is a need what yes, you bother me those nights. I want to sleep?" i'm firm.

"Look Mom, here I want to deliver a package for Mom. Please accept,"

"But I don't feel like shopping online this week, so it's better. I'll just end this call, yeah,"

"Eh, no! Not Kanaya! This is a real package for you" Andra replied in her original voice.

"But I don't want to. Just for someone else. I want to sleep now!"

"It's me Andra, someone misses you,"

"Yes already know from earlier that someone misses, but really I want to sleep, and one more. I don't miss you !"

"It's not me who misses, but someone,"

"Well! Someone, who. Don't fuck around, Ndra?"

"We're just video calling, so you know who that guy is?"

I don't know why back then, I obeyed Andra's invitation. Before the call turned to video, I turned on the light on the nightstand for lighting. Apparently the person Andra was referring to was Razka. It seemed that the man was accompanying her overnight in the hospital.

From the beginning of the conversation we did. I didn't see Nurbaiti there. Is it possible, she told him to come home so tonight it's just him and Razka there?

Seriate...

Alhamdulillah also finished chapter 16. The spirit for today!
