Fives

part 16. man in black

It's been some hostels Rima found but they're all full. No one can hold them. Rafa looked very sleepy. He looked several times he rubbed his eyes.

Even though it's late at night. There's still a lot of vehicles past Langan on the road. Rima's hand from earlier could not be separated holding Rafa's hand.

"I'm sorry, honey. Mamah has made you difficult" muttered Rima staring at her son.

"Ouch." ringis Rima. His body was even slightly shaken.

"Huahp... Why mah?" Ask Rafa lirih. Half conscious.

"Sendal mamah. For a moment, my mother really used to be alone" Rima released her grip on Rafa's hand. He is too focused on his own until he does not know that Rafa has his own way ahead of him.

"It's not a fall but a break up." Mumbles listlessly.

"Rafa can help you hold Sen-Rafa.. Rafa.." Rima's eyes were round. He did not find Rafa beside him. Rima looked to the right and to the left but Rafa was also absent.

Rima walked in haste with his sandals broken in his hand. His feelings are very worried now. He was so scared.

"Rafaaaaa" cried Rima loudly when she saw her son in front there following the sound of the horn and the squealing of the car brakes.

"RAFAAAAAA" Rima ran as fast as she could not care about the sandals she had thrown away. The pavement felt extremely cold on his bare feet.

There Rafa is seen in the cherubuni by several people. Rima's chest is getting crowded. He was afraid something might happen to his son. Rima approached his son who was sitting on the middle asphalt in someone's embrace.

Rafa's crying voice was also heard in Rima's ears but was restrained due to the embrace of someone in a black suit.

"Hiks... Mamah" muttered Rafa softly.

Rima who heard him just crouched down and grabbed Rafa into his arms. "It's mama. Sorry mamah ya" he said slowly. Rima kissed Rafa's forehead, watching his face there was no wound at all. Mercifully...

"Where is hhemm sick?" Tanya Rima took a swipe of tears on Rafa's cheek. Rima also cried she was afraid that something bad happened to Rafa.

" we're going to the hospital" the heavy voice of the black-coat man turned Rima's gaze away from Rafa who had stopped crying but was still as unwilling.

"no need. My son is fine" Rima said slowly. He didn't have enough money to go to the hospital.

"We're going to the hospital now. Quickly get him in the car" he said again with a little coercion.

"Not need"

" His knee is hurt!!" His impact. Cutting off the words of Rima who was about to refuse.

Wha what?. Rima quickly opened the black pants that covered Rafa's knee. And sure enough there was a pretty decent wound in a lot of blood as well. How could Rima not realize that.

"Shh.... Mah pain" Rafa grimaced.

Rima wiped her tears." I-yes we're going to the clinic now. Come on hold" Rafa nodded.

"Let me" said the man earlier and immediately took Rafa from the front.

"sorry. But let me just. Thanks for helping out earlier. Let my son be treated at the nearest clinic here. You can continue your journey back" said Rima.

The man immediately looked over. His face showed a dislike. "I'm guilty here, too. So let me take you to the hospital"

Rima nodded. There's no other choice. If you argue too long for mercy Rafa who had been holding back pain in his knee.

****

" The wound is not so deep. So it does not need to be stitched" said the doctor while writing down a prescription drug that must be redeemed at the pharmacy and then give it to Rima and Rima received it.

"Alhamdulillah..." Rima said slowly. His left hand was stroking the back of Rafa who was asleep on his lap. Rafa must be so tired he's been sleeping so fast.

Shortly after the doctor had come out the man in black suit was in to see the state of Rafa. "just stay here" he said.

Rima. "no need. The wound wasn't so bad anyway"

The man looked faintly nodding. "I'll take you home. Hospital fees are paid."

Rima sighed."Thank ye. I'll change"

"Not to." Cut it.

The man stepped closer to the two of them more precisely towards Rafa "let me carry him". He took Rafa from Rima's lap and carried him from the front like a koala. He also rubbed Rafa's back as the boy squirmed. Rafa's head rested on the man's sturdy shoulder.

It was so hard to see this sight. Rafa looks so comfortable in the man's arms.

Arriving in front of the car, Rima looked so confused. Where he's going now. Rafa had already gotten into the car with the man earlier, while he had to redeem the medicine first at the pharmacy.

Rima looked down on her two feet that were plain and dirty, she could have just trusted a stranger and let Rafa be carried by him.

rima saw the wall clock in the hospital shows that it is now 2 in the morning.approximately 3 hours they walk together from the contract until now.

"in"

I don't know Rima's world feels so heavy that he doesn't hear anything. His mind is jumbled like a tangled thread. "now where are you going?. Where is the residence yet. oh, God help me".

"khemm.... why haven't you entered?" asked the man in the car, he sat behind the wheel holding Rafa.

"can't open it?" he asked again.

Rima looked down nervously. "b-can really"

Rima opened the car door with trembling hands.

the atmosphere in the car was very quiet. Rima stroked the back of Rafa who had already moved on his lap.

"where's your house?" he asked when a few minutes were silent.the man did not look at all.His gaze was only straight to pay attention to the stretch of road.

"get down here." said Rima slowly.he did not want to trouble others.

"why?"

Rima shook her head "it's okay. We're down here"

car stopped. Rima came down with Rafa who was quite heavy for him, and do not forget the condition of Rima's legs are still plain.

"excuse me. Thank you for helping us" the man nodded. Rima walked small.he saw the bus stop.

he sat there watching the lights that were almost dim while continuing to wipe Rafa's back.

his chest feels tight. Rima did not know how else.Tears that had been held had now begun to come out. Rima sobbed slowly while continuing to hold Rafa's body.

you're so stupid Rima. You shouldn't just walk away from the contract just because of emotions. After all you're not wrong and why you have to give up. if he could have denied Dian's accusation, Rafa wouldn't have suffered by now.

the car that Rima was riding stopped right in front of him. The door of his car was opened in the row with the exit of the man in black clothes earlier. "in"

is it a tall man or a black man?
