Half of the Heart belongs to Sahla

Chapter 30

"Ari has robbed all the stalls."

"Ari your friend who works at the stall ?" Ask Mrs Ratih to make sure. Bima nodded weakly, his head still feeling dizzy. He tried to back up his temple.

"Astaghfirullah. innalillahi wa innailaihi raji'un." Madam Ratih rubbed her chest that suddenly felt tight. There were various questions that he wanted to ask, but he paused because he saw his son as helpless.

"Bome to the room first." 

Mrs Ratih nodded. He looked compassionately at his son. Unable to have her tears slide freely down her cheeks.

Bima went into the room, not forgetting he locked the door. He did not want to show his weakest side before the Mother, because he did not want to worry her.

Bima then lay down and closed her eyes with her right arm. "What should I do now ?" Lirih. "What should I do now ? Say again.

***

"Assynolajet. Rat.. Ratih.." the voice of Miss Marni called out. Mrs Ratih who was daydreaming in the kitchen, immediately gasped to hear her name called. He hurriedly rubbed his face with his hands. Removing the remains of her tears.

"Yes, one minute!" Replied Bu Ratih as he got up and walked into the living room.

"Ratih... I heard that Bima was robbed ? Is it true ?" Without further ado Ms. Marni asked about the truth of the news.

"Go in, Mar." Then Ms. Ratih took Ms. Marni to the kitchen and sat down at the dining table.

"We'll just talk here." Said Mrs Ratih.

Miss Marni nodded. "So, is that true ?"

"You know where it came from?"

"Of course from the guy who stopped by the stall."

"So soon the news spread." 

"So it's true Bima has been robbed!"

Madam Ratih nodded slowly. 

"Oh Allah..How is the story of Ratih ?" Ms. Marni's asking is hysterical.

Mrs Ratih just shook her head. "I also don't know what exactly happened." 

"Now where is Bima ?"

"There's in his room. After coming home from the stall, he just said that Ari had robbed all the stalls."

"Ari ?! Really yes it's people. Which person is Rat ?" Marni asked while holding back emotions.

"Don't know. What do you want to do ?"

"We hit him at his house. Then we hit a lot of people."

"Istighfar, Mar."

"Astaghfirullah. I was furious at the same thing called Ari, absolutely everyone. Have trapped Bima now rob again." Miss Marni looks furious. 

"Prophe Mar. Don't be so rash. He's definitely not at home."

Miss Marni sighed. "I'm upset that I'm just keeping quiet, Rat."

"We wait for Bima first. Maybe Bima already has a plan ahead of him like what."

"All right."

"Sahla how now ? I haven't seen him today." 

"He's been pretty well improved. It may take a little more time to accept and forgive Bima."

"Thank God. Leave Sahla in your house first, until this matter is resolved. Poor Sahla, don't mind too much."

Miss Marni nodded. "You're right, Rat, we better not tell him this matter."

***

Bima did not come out of the room at all. Mrs Ratih was worried about him. It has been several times that Mrs Ratih called Bima to eat. But there was no response at all from Bima.

"Bima.." Mrs Ratih tried again to call Bima after she finished the magrib prayer.

"Bima. You haven't eaten all day." Bu Ratih tried to persuade Bima.

"Five. Don't make me worry. Please, open the door." But there is still no movement from within.

Bu Ratih walked back and forth in front of the door of Bima's room. The look on his face actually implied he was being very worried. 

Suddenly he remembered Sahla. In a hurry he went to Sahla's house.

"Assynolajet. Mar.. Mar.."

Not long after Miss Marni opened the door.

"Ratiha ? What's up ?" Miss Marni was surprised by the arrival of Bu Ratih with a face that looked agitated.

"Mom, Mar. Coming home from the stall, not coming out at all. Not even eating."

"Astaghfirullah.Let's go in first." Ms. Marni invited Mr. Ratih into the house.

"I'm worried about nothing happening to Bima." Said Mrs Ratih.

"Mothers. What's up, ma'am ?" Sahla asked as she walked out of her room. He came out when he heard his mother-in-law's voice sounding riled up.

"Please Mommy, Neng." Mrs Ratih approaches Sahla.

"What's up, Mom ?" 

"Bima did not come out of his room from the morning. He ignored eating and drinking."

"Astaghfirullah.. Why is that so, Mom ? What has happened ?"

Bu Ratih and Bu Marni were stuck, they just fell silent. Confused to explain what it looks like.

"We'll just break down the door." Miss Marni's words distract Sahla.

"Mom, actually Bima sister why did you lock yourself in room ?" Ask Sahla again. He felt a little upset because both of his mothers ignored his question.

"Here you go, we'll be good at going to your husband's house. And lure Bima out." Miss Marni drags Sahla a little to come to the house of Mrs Ratih.

Sahla can only keep silent according to her mother's words without being able to refuse. Of course, she could not resist it, because in her heart she was so worried about her husband's situation.

Sahla's heart beat suddenly as she re-entered Bima's house.

"Come Neng! Persuade Bima to come out." Order Ms. Marni after arriving in front of Bima's room. Sahla nodded slowly. 

Tok…

Sahla knocks on the door. Then Sahla swallowed her saliva before calling Bima.

"Sister. It's Sahla."

"Yes, I know you're Sahla."

The three women were shocked and looked at each other. Because Bima's voice sounded very clear in their ears.

"Don't be surprised. I'm not a ghost." Bima walked up to them.

The three looked at the source of the sound.

"Yes Allah Bima. You're finally out, too." Madam Ratih immediately grabbed her son and hugged him tightly.

"You're so hot, son." Bu Ratih felt the hot temperature on Bima's body as he hugged her. Then touch the face of Bima.

"I'm okay, Mom. Just a little fever."

"It's okay how. Just look at your body hot like this." Said Madam Ratih in a slightly loud voice.

Miss Marni approached Bima and held her forehead. "Yes, your body is hot Bima. We better go to the doctor." 

"It's okay, Mom, Bima just take the medicine. It will also heal. Especially now that Sahla is taking care of it. Isn't that right, Deck?"

Suddenly Sahla coughed. From then on he just kept quiet to pay attention. I don't know how she feels about her husband now. He himself is confused. Although he forgave, he still could not forget his actions. And to be honest, she missed her husband, but she was ashamed to admit it. I don't know, Sahla is still confused by her own feelings.

"Dad?" Call Bima.

"I want to go home." Suddenly, Sahla said that. He himself was surprised by his words. And saw the expression of her husband and two mothers who were surprised, because they did not think he would ask to go home. Sahla felt a little guilty. She was not supposed to go home, especially when her husband was sick. But Sahla did not want to rectify his words, because he still wanted to show that he was still angry at Bima, even though his heart had forgiven. Sahla immediately turned her body and walked towards the exit.

"Sahla! You have no pity to see your husband sick like this ?"
