Half of the Heart belongs to Sahla

Friends of Bima (Ari)

It's been almost a month. Sahla is really enjoying her cravings. Although he did not ask for strange things, but he had enough trouble. Morning sickness happens every morning. Smelling fishy scents of fish and chicken made him vomit as well. Only vegetables and fruits do not make it nauseous. And sleeping after dawn is still natural too. 

Luckily, Mrs Ratih understood very well what Sahla was going through. So did Bima. He tried to understand what his wife was going through. Even he felt sorry to see his wife who looked weak.

"Sir. We go to the doctor, right ?" Bima tried to persuade Sahla. After returning from the store, Bima saw Sahla lying limp on the mattress. According to his mother, all day there is no food intake into the body of his wife. Everything Sahla eats, she's gonna put back out.

"Udah night, Brother. Time to go to bed."

"It's only 9 o'clock, Deck."

Sahla shakes. He doesn't want to go anywhere. He just wanted to lie down and sleep on his bed.

Bima sighed. Feeling upset himself, because he could do nothing to help his wife. He can only obey his wife's wishes.

"alright. Go sleep. Hopefully you will be healthy again tomorrow. I miss you." Bima kissed Sahla. Then lie down next to Sahla.

"Excuse me A', buy a pack of cigarettes." 

"Attent." Bima then took the cigarette intended by the man.

"This is the cigarette, 35,000." Bima handed it to the man.

"Male! You're Bima right ?" Shouted the man. Bima was shocked, because the man called his name. 

"Who is it ?" He asked, scanning the man's face.

"Ari ?" Bima began to find bright spots from his memories that had suddenly appeared.

"You remember me."

"Let's go in, let's talk first. We haven't seen each other in a long time."

Ari also welcomed Bima's invitation.

"Sit. Just a minute." Bima took a cold drink for his guests, namely friends during High School.

"How are you?" Bima asked as she placed the drink in front of her friend, Ari.

"Well, as you see."

Bima nodded. "I didn't think we could meet here."

"Yes. This is your shop ?"

"No, I'm just a tenant. Understand, just starting a business."

"When did you come home from ? I am not going home at all.

"It's been over a year. It's a home child's habit, so you can't get out of the house." Canda Bima's.

"Oh, what a houseboy." Bima could only laugh.

"Where is it now ?" Ask Bima.

"Still the same as before. Nothing has changed. You are getting better now. Go home and open the store. Great you."

"Ah, just ordinary. Don't be so complimenting. What do you work for ?"

"I work odd jobs. If I have a job, I work. If there is no such thing as a living."

"What now ? Is there any more work ?"

"If there's a job, where might be here."

"Yes, yes, too. If you want, you can work here."

"Here ?"

"Yes. There used to be a wife who helped me here. Now pregnant young, so can't be expected to help here."

"Seriously you're Bim ?" 

"Yes. Overwhelmed by himself."

"Can too. When does it start working ?"

"From now on, too."

"Ready Boss."

"Don't call the boss. Call as usual.

The man nodded.

"We open at 5 a.m., and close at 8 a.m. So you leave before that hour.

"Well, I get it. Thank you Bim. "

"Thank you too, you want to work here."

"You've changed a lot, Bim."

"Yet. Anybody wants to be the same guy who's not clear about his job."

"Don't go down like that. Haven't met her soul mate yet Ri."

"The facts are like that, Bim."

Bima was speechless no more.

"Sir, buy." 

"So soon Ri, someone wants to buy." Bima also moved from his seat and served the buyers who had just come. He was also relieved by the arrival of a buyer. Because he felt bad if he had to continue his conversation with Ari.

After the buyer left, another buyer came. Not even one came. Seeing Bima who was overwhelmed, Ari who had noticed Bima earlier, immediately rushed to help Bima serve buyers.

"Rame is also Bim." Ari said after the departure of the buyers.

"Alhamdulillah."

Since then, Ari has been working in Bima's shop. And Bima was satisfied with Ari's tenacity. Until it did not feel like a month Ari worked with Bima.

The sound of a phone ring surprised Bima who was serving a buyer. The name of his wife who made the call.

"Tumben once, Sahla calls at this hour." The time on the wall clock shows at 7 am. Usually Sahla calls him when the clock is approaching the clock home, because she wants to leave something on Bima.

[Assynoltx.] Sapa Bima's.

(Wa'alaikum salam.) It was not Sahla's voice that answered, but her mother's.

[What's wrong Mom?]

(Hurry home, son. Neng Sahla fainted.) Ms. Ratin's voice sounded panicked.

[Yes, Mom. Bima will be home soon.]

Bima hung up. He looks confused.

"R. Wife fainted. I have to go home now."

"Here you go home, let my shop take care of you." Ari.

"Thank you very much, Ri. You are reliable."

"Here, the hunt is home. Kasian your wife."

Bima rushed home. Don't forget to hand over the keys to Ari's shop. During the journey, Bima's mind was fixed on Sahla. He was afraid of anything happening to his wife and future children.

Without greeting first, Bima went straight to his room. There was his mother and mother-in-law. It seems they have been crying. Both eyes look puffy.

"Sahla why Ma'am ?" 

"Mother doesn't know either, Mother went into the room, Sahla was already lying on the floor." Mrs Ratih told me while crying.

"We'll just take her to the hospital, ma'am."

"Yes, your father-in-law is looking for a car to take Sahla to the hospital."

Before long, the sound of the roar of the car was heard entering the courtyard of Bu Ratih's house. Bima went straight out. And sure enough, his father-in-law and the driver got out of the car.

"Come on Bim, get Sahla in the car." Said Mr. Edi, Mr. Sahla.

Bima immediately returned to the room, and carried Sahla who was still in a fainting state into the car. 

"Mar, you don't have to go to the hospital. Temenin Train only. Let Bama Bima who nganternya." Said Mr. Edi. Ms. Marni and Ms. Ratih nodded, according to Mr. Edi's words. In their hearts, they want to accompany Sahla to the hospital.

"Let's go, sir." Mr Edi's orders.

The car was traveling at above average speed. The trip to the hospital takes about an hour.

Arriving at the hospital, Sahla was immediately treated by a doctor who was on guard.

"Please complete his administration first, while our patients are treated." Said the doctor.

"Let you Father. You'll just go to Sahla."

Bima also said, because he was also reluctant to leave Sahla.

"Bu Sahla's condition is very weak. Better take care of it a few days here." 

"What about the baby, Doc?"

"The baby in her stomach is fine."

"Alhamdulillah."

Sahla was transferred to the treatment room. And Bima did not move at all from the Sahla side.

"Sir. You are not yet conscious. Wake up the Deck." Bima said slowly, Sahla's hand continued to hold.

And before long, Sahla began to blink her eyes. Bima who saw it immediately approached.

"Sir."
