Forever Love

At the Hospital?

“Hallo nak” greet Zafran as soon as he answers a call from Qania.

But instead of getting an answer from Qania, he heard a voice that was so crowded. He kept calling Qania but got no answer at all from Qania until he decided to end his call.

“Maybe he is in class” said Zafran then took off his glasses and came out of his study.

He had not seen Setya and Alisha and Arqasa in the living room as soon as he went down the stairs. He could already guess where his wife was so he walked towards the side door and found Alisha there.

Alisha smiled at her husband, he was busy watering his plants while inviting the plants to tell him as if they could respond to what he was saying.

Zafran smiled, his wife is still like she used to be happy if she was with her plants as if they were her best friends.

Alisha removed her hose and turned off the tap and washed her hands before meeting her husband who was sitting on the porch seat next to the house.

“What's pa?” ask Alisha who is sitting.

“So papa called Qania, but did not have time to chat because papa callin but he did not know even heard a voice that was so crowded. It looks like he is in the class of Ma” said Zafran while looking at his wife.

“Oh thank goodness that it was like Pa. might have been in the lecturer so Qania did not have time to talk” said Alisha chimed in and Zafran nodded in agreement.

“Oh yes Ma, Arqasa where?” zafran asked as he did not see and hear the voice of his grandson.

“Oh was invited by Setya to the mini market Pa, he said he wanted to buy Arqa snack” replied Alisha chuckling.

“That Setya is there, want to snack on what toddlers. Each time from shopping must always bring a lot of food that is not eaten” said Zafran while shaking his head.

“Hahaha, yes Pa. Mama had once followed them and Papa knew, everything that Arqasa pointed out was taken all the same mas Setya. Starting from kitchen spices to cosmetics and sanitary napkins were once appointed Arqasa and with the rest of his grandfather took it. Fortunately, you see so mama balikin again” story Alisha make Zafran laugh.

“Manjain is effective but he does not control Pa. Perhaps if Arqasa was buying poison he would buyin also” as upset Alisha.

Zafran just kept laughing at his wife's chattering. He knows very well how the nature of Setya Wijaya who always attach importance to the pleasure of others, especially his own grandson so whatever it is as long as Arqasa is happy he will obey.

“Papa also why keep laughing sih” reprimand Alisha with her pouting face.

“No Ma, yes he may just want to make his grandson happy and feel no lack of money so whatever he asks will always follow Setya to ignore the item is important or not”, he said,.

“In college we used to shop together and buy this it was promoted with the shopkeeper eh right up to the house we were both stunned because there were more we did not need even not at all useful for us” recalls Zafran.

“Ya but still yes Pa, Mama does not want Setya is Manjain Arqasa. What if he gets used to asking for this?” alisha still did not agree with Setya's attitude.

“Indeed Mama forgot who Setya was?” goda Zafran's.

“Yes Mama didn't forget, just that it wasn't good. We do not educate Qania and Syaquile to be children who like to spend money. Qania and Syaquile did not ask for a monthly allowance, they would only ask for money if they had interests and pocket money made on campus and in doang schools. They have used to live a simple life even though they have parents who do not lack money and even very excess money” said Alisha made Zafran silent.

Zafran strongly justified the speech of Alisha, from the small Qania and Syaquile they did not teach at all to squander money and indulge them by obeying all their desires.

“Yes too yes Ma, qania used to be the same as Syaquile if there was anything they wanted later they asked us and sometimes we told them to do something to get a reward and finally after they took pains to complete their task it was them not so jujanin the money and even in the tube with the reason of money sweat itself do not be squandered” recalls Zafran ended with laughter.

“Haha Papa still remember with their term that” Alisha also laughed.

Lala still continued to sit while holding Qania's hand which was still unconscious for almost two hours. That was the time Qania collapsed all of a sudden, the seminar committee immediately took Qania to the hospital and Lala was in the car leaving their motorcycle in the hotel parking lot while the Tristan Anggara was back to continue his seminar without caring about the state of Qania.

Lala searched through Qania's phone to contact Raka, but she did not find it in Qania's bag.

“Yeah, right hp kak Qania earlier fell ya” pekik Lala patted his eel.

“What if someone takes Qania's phone? Well could-can kak Qania can not communicate anymore with his family and I am also stupid anyway, I forgot to take hp it” grumbled Lala.

Lala tried to call Qania's number but instead heard the operator's answer that Qania's call was busy.

“Kok busy anyway? What signal is bad?” lala asked herself.

“Ah once again deh”,.

Lala resigned because it was the fifth time he tried to call but still the call was in a busy state.

“What not-don't.. aaa lest anyone take Qania”'s mobile phone screeches Lala and luckily she is in the VIP ward so no one is bothered by her screaming voice.

At Zafran's current residence, Alisha is nagging Setya who is again spending Arqasa which they should not have bought. As of now, Arqasa brought home the nail polish and also a lipstick and a bottle of soy sauce.

“Sorry Al, I can't bear to see him asking for this it's so I'll just take it instead of him crying” Setya replied in self-defense.

“Yes pardon Setya mas but this has been many times and mas Setya should ti..”,.

“Mommyy.. mommyy.. huaaa..” said Arqasa while crying made Alisha stop her speech and immediately held Arqasa who was sitting sweet while enjoying her snack.

Setya nodded in agreement to make Alisha immediately glare at the two grandfathers who are now silent because they received a warning from the lioness of the house owner.

“Nek, mommy... call mommy nek.” said Arqasa asked his grandmother to call his mommy.

“Eh it's been almost two hours, maybe Qania already out of class. Papa try deh” phone said Zafran then took his phone from inside his pants pocket.

Meanwhile in the hall room of the hotel seminar just ended and Tristan Anggara told them to go out first without waiting for him to come out. The room is now quiet because only he lives who is busy with his tablet, it looks like he is taking care of his work through his smart phone.

The ringing of the phone stopped his activity, he opened his glasses and stood trying to find the source of the ringing sound of the phone. He walked towards the seminar participant's chair because the ringing of the phone was increasingly heard clearly in that direction.

Tristan bowed to pick up the phone that was displaying the incoming call.

“Papa?” he read the name of his caller.

He also decided to call the phone.

Meanwhile, Zafran, who had a guest, gave his phone to Setya because Alisha was calming down Arqasa who was still as unwilling.

“Hallo” greet Tristan.

Degs…

Setya's heart stopped beating when he heard a voice from across the phone. His breath seemed to be stuck in his throat and his chest felt so tight.

Back, the guy said hello made Setya aware.

“Ar..Arkana?” the tears that trickled down made Alisha surprised as Setya uttered the name Arkana.

“This arkana you son? Papa is not dreaming?” asked Setya who was already unable to hold back her cries.

The look on Alisha's face turned so curious that Setya cried, Arkana thought.

“Sorry, I am Tristan Anggara not Arkana” said Tristan who was also confused because people across the channel suddenly cried.

Alisha who saw Setya seemed to not be able to speak well because crying took over the phone.

“Hallo” greet Alisha.

“Hallo, sorry I am Tristan Anggara. I was a seminar filler and the owner of this phone passed out and is now in the hospital. I just wanted to let you know, and right now I'm going to the hospital to see it and get the phone back. He's in hospital X, come”, come,.

Tristan sped up his words before he was confused again and immediately turned off the phone.

“This girl is really troublesome, already do not appreciate me by busy playing her phone, uh then she fainted then her parents called and thought I was who… I forgot what his name was and now I have to go to the hospital to pay him back and take care of his administration. This hahi name is ketiban apes” grumbled Tristan Anggara who then grabbed the tablet and his briefcase then out of the hall room.

Zafran who had just returned to join after serving guests who had only come to deliver the parcel was shocked by Setya who was crying and Alisha who was looking shocked. He quickly sat down next to Setya to give his best friend a hug.

“Ma what's wrong?” asked Zafran who was already very curious.

“The voice is really similar to Pa” said Alisha who increasingly makes Zafran confused.

“Whose voice Ma? Similar who? And where's Qania, papa want to talk?” setya asked in succession to make Alisha wake up as soon as her husband asked for their child.

“Astagifirullah, Mama until forgot Pa. Qania is currently being treated at Pa hospital, earlier she fainted while going to seminar” replied Alisha with a raucous voice because she was about to cry.

“Appaaa?” jolt Zafran and Setya together.

“Iya that was talking Tristan Anggara, and now he is heading to the hospital to deliver the phone Qania left” said Alisha with tears that had flooded her cheeks.

“Mommy huaa..” cried Arqasa as if he understood and could feel his current mommy state.

Zafran knew that Alisha was currently very sad because she could not see the state of Qania away from them. He immediately picked up the crying Arqasa and held him while wiping away his grandson's tears and providing comfort.

“So this is the point of Arqasa's sadness for these few days? Hahh how is Qania doing now?” crying Alisha, she covered her face with both hands.

Zafran who could not bear to see his wife crying again sat beside his wife then leaned Alisha's head to his chest and one hand held Arqasa who was no longer crying and was sitting quietly on top his lap.

“Sabar ya Ma, we wait for news from Tristan Anggara. Who knows when he arrived at the hospital Qania is awake and can contact us” comfort Zafran.

Zafran is not not not sad, he was the most sad and crying in heart to hear the news that his daughter fainted and had no family there. His heart stopped beating hearing bad news about his daughter. But at the moment he can't be weak because Setya and Alisha are in need of strength and he's all they have.

‘Tristan Anggara? That name sounds so familiar to my ears. But who is he? And why is his voice so much like Arkana's? But if he was Arkana, Qania would have told us. Hmm, may I wish Allah?’ isak Setya in his heart.

‘What did Qania faint from hearing the man's voice?’ inner Alisha.
