Five Years of Love

Lose and Worry

The third day at the hospital, Zidan's condition has not shown any significant changes. Mr. Firmandana is very impatient. He insisted on moving Zidan to a better hospital. But doctors banned him for fear that Zidan's condition was worsening. As for Bunga, he was ceaselessly praying while crying out for Zidan's salvation.

"If he was moved still with the complete equipment currently attached to his body, would it still be dangerous as well?" ask Mr. Firmandana to the hospital.

"The problem is the shock during the trip. It'll make things worse, sir."

"I will prepare a special vehicle that is shockproof, your job is only to ensure how the equipment can be carried. I will not harm the hospital. I'll change all the equipment my granddaughter uses, even if I need to change for a better one!" Mr. Firmandana's patience is already on the verge of seeing his only grandson lying horribly. The doctor was silent.

"Doctor! It's a lab of Zidan's child patient."

a nurse entered while handing over a map containing the results of lab tests on Zidan's blood.

The doctor scrunched his eyebrows. "Ready blood again. He still has to have another transfusion!"

"But doc. O's blood stock in this hospital is empty. We've contacted Utd but they don't have it for now either."

"Search in the nearest city!"

"Dok. Our guy just took it."

"How can the hospital run out of blood!!!!" snapped Mr. Firmandana wrathfully.

"Pa!" Faldi calmed his papa. "We're out first!" He took his father out of the doctor's room to where Zidan was being treated.

In front of the ICU where Zidan was treated, there appeared a flower that sat on a mat on the floor with a condition that was also sad. Both eyes of the flower have swollen mostly crying. His hair was tangled and his face was pale.

"You see! If this continues, the flower will collapse and fall ill" said Mr. Firmandana. They then approached the flower.

"How Master?!" ask the impatient flower.

"The hospital side still objected to removing Zidan." Lord Firmandana stroked the head of the Flower, "Son! Can you please not call me sir? I am the grandfather of your son. Call me papa!"

"flower! Where's Kendra's bang?"

"He's out with Riana. I asked them to find food. Since accompanying me, Kendra's mas doesn't eat well." replied Bunga.

"Then what about you? Are you eating well?" ask Faldi.

The flowers did not answer. Where can he eat well if Zidan's condition is still like that.

"Fale! Papa go for a second. You accompany Bunga until Kendra comes. Papa would like to contact papa's contact doctor in Singapore for a consultation on Zidan's condition. Who knows if they have a solution." Faldi nodded.

After Mr. Firmandana left, Faldi sat down next to the Flower. Seeing the miserable Flower, Faldi could not help but embrace the woman he still loved. He reached out and pulled the body of Flower into his embrace, "Don't worry too much. Rest assured that Zidan will be fine. He's a strong boy." whispered Faldi softly but was able to make Flowers cry again while burying his face in Faldi's chest. "Cry that it makes you feel better." Faldi rubbed the Flower's head and then kissed the Flower's head. With the mother's tissue he wipes away the tears of Flowers.

Without Faldi knowing, two pairs of eyes watched what they were doing from a distance.

Kendra clasped tightly onto the plastic bag containing food for Flowers. Jaw hardens. He turned his body away.

"Sister!Where you going?" Riana blocked Kendra's hand.

"Go. I don't want to bother them."

"Sister! She's your wife! Your arrival will not interfere. After all, the reality is not necessarily the same as you think. In our view they do hug, but why do they hug do we know?"

Kendra sighed. Whatever the reason, now I can see that their bond of love is still there.

"Not be fooled by the sight of the eye if our ears hear nothing. I know Riana and my boss well. Mr. Faldi was not the type of person to take advantage of the opportunity. He's the one who always puts reason ahead of feeling." Riana shifted her grip from the wrist down to Kendra's palm.

"We're going there yuk!" slowly pull Kendra to walk following her towards the Flower.

"Mom!" greet Riana. The flower and Faldi instantly broke free.

"Oh. You guys have come?" murmuring Flowers while drying her tears. Flower Eyes had seen Riana and Kendra join hands before they let go of each other's handles.

Kendra approached and sat down on the other side of the Flower.

"Eat! I bought you your favorite food. From morning you eat only a little. " Kendra handed over the food parcel to Bunga. The flower accepts it but only holds it on its lap. "Let me eat." replied the flower.

"Honey. Eat now yes! What. need a bribe?" persuade Kendra gently while taking the food that is in the lap of Flowers.

"A!" Kendra thrust a spoonful of rice into the mouth of Bunga.

"Mas... Flowers will eat!" The flower brushed off the spoon slowly. Faldi who saw that lost his patience. He took a spoon from Kendra's hand.

"Eat!!" said firmly. Flowers jerked.

This intimidating voice? the Inner Flower remembers the events of the past.

"Eat or I'll force open my mouth!" Faldi held the chin of the Flower with his left hand. Face approaching. Bunga, Riana and Kendra thought that Faldi would kiss the Flower. He only scares the flowers.

"I.l.iya. I eat." The flower opened its mouth and ate the rice that Faldi had fed. Faldi smiled.

"I'll eat myself." The flower took a spoon from Faldi's hand and started eating.

Kendra silence. He really felt defeated.

"Zidan's family?"

"We're sisters!" Flowers want to rise but are prevented by Faldi and Kendra together.

"Let me!" kendra. "Yes sister?" Kendra came to the nurse who called.

"I asked my wife's family first nurse." Kendra's back at the Flower.

"The nurse asked if any of your family were blood type O?"

Flowers shook their heads, "I'm B, you're B too, right Ri?" Riana nodded.

"Let me." Faldi replied again.

"Fal, just three days ago you donated your blood." Flowers hinder.

"No papa. I'm not gonna bleed to death, am I?"

"But still at risk Fal."

"Flower, Zidan is more important. Trust me, I'm not papa."

"But you haven't eaten. At least eat first. It's.... !" The flower hesitated when she wanted to give up the rice she had eaten. Faldi smiled taking the rice from the Flower's hand.

"alright. I just ate this new donor."

Without disgust, Faldi ate the rice that had been eaten in half by Flowers. He doesn't realize what he's doing is hurting Kendra. In Faldi's mind how can he quickly help Zidan.

"Where are you going?" ask Bunga when he sees Kendra getting out of her seat.

"I'm..." Kendra's trying to find an excuse. At that moment Mr. Amir came.

"Assalamu'alaikum!"

"Vaalaikumsalam. Let's get Mr. Lik!" answer Flowers and Kendra.

"How's Zidan?" ask Mr. Amir.

"It's still like yesterday Mr. Lik." replied Bunga sadly.

"May Zidan get better soon. Oh yes kak Kendra there is something you want to discuss about the proposal kak Kendra yesterday. Sorry if the time is not right!"

"No, Mr. Lik. Please!"

"Citizens have agreed on the construction of the central enclosure that Kendra wants to propose and the land that was originally made to build the cage is also available. Just the buying process."

"alright. Mr. Lik takes care of the purchase. I prepared the funds. Later if there is a price agreement, Mr. Lik infokan on me."

"Oh good, son. On behalf of the villagers, I would like to thank you for the kindness of Kendra. May the kindness of this Kendra child be reciprocated quickly by God with his healing Zidan. Aamiin's."

"Amijin!" Riana, Bunga, Faldi and Kendra together guarantee the words of Mr. Amir.

After finishing his affairs with Kendra, Mr. Amir implored himself.

"Aren't you coming home?" ask Mr. Amir to Riana.

"I was here, sir. Accompany the Flower."

"alright. Take good care of your brother and nephew." Mr. Amir rubbed Riana's head.

"You're a great bang!" puji Faldi's.

"It's nothing. I'm just sorry to see people who are often victims of cattle thieves."

"Your father is amazing. Putting all the citizens' cattle together in one cage, so it's easy to keep an eye on."

"You can read my idea with just a small hint from Mr. Amir earlier. You're actually the great one." Kendra praised Faldi. Faldi just smiled.

"alright. Now I'll see the nurse first." Faldi left the others.

"Fale! If it can't don't be forced." order Flowers. Faldi nodded then stepped out leaving the three of them.

"Where's Faldi?" asked Mr. Firmandana who arrived and did not see Faldi.

"He went to the nurse's room to have his blood drawn again, pa." replied Flowers. "What if Zidan still needs more blood and there's no blood supply?"

"Don't worry. Papa's got blood for Zidan. Again on the way here."

"Thank God." The three of them heaved a sigh of relief.

"Flower, you get ready. Papa's friend is already on his way to Indonesia. If he comes, we'll take Zidan to Singapore. He's doctor. He will take care of and watch over Zidan during the trip. Did you bring a passport?" Flowers shuffle

"In our house Pa."

" I'm going to tell people to take it. Kendra you call your housekeeper!" said Mr Firmandana. "The kendra? You're going to Singapore?" continued her

Kendra silence. She's worried.
