He's my Milky Way

Prayer for Bima

The atmosphere of the office this morning was increasingly boisterous when hearing the sad news from Bima and Revan their colleagues in the office. Though kisak-kisuk has spread that Revan will soon rise to office, but instead disaster comes to him. Which should have been at 8 am all have stayed in the room, this is even crammed into each other at the desk of his office colleagues.

"So how's Revan? Eh the Rina how isn't it said they're close huh?"

"Oh yes, we samperin yuk mumpung still relaxed work." Three employees of this office who are super duper kepo want to know, is that so? Every part of the job has someone like this.

"Eh Rin, how's Revan? He said he survived too?" Rina, an older office employee her age from Revan, she nodded lethargicly.

"I've been there anyway, have met also his parents, he said Revan suffered fractures in both legs, because it was pinched. But I'm grateful that I didn't have to be amputated."

"Well, you take care of him dong. You are the scoundrel." Lina kept quiet, and refocused on the job.

"Hey, hey come back to your table!" The section chief entered with a waistline, looking at his subordinates who were once gossiping. But anyone who knows about this incident must be curious.

***

Sundari, he had just entered the office, just a few steps had many people ask him, although uncomfortable but Sundari answered only what he knew.

"Sorry madam, I'm just an office secretary, not a personal secretary, so for the development of what I don't know, besides I'm not the doctor. If you want to know better just come straight to the hospital. Excuse me." They snorted at him, Sundari no longer cared about those who kept calling his name. Keep going, go in the room, then focus on doing his work. As soon as his mind whispered.

Quiet, empty room. Sundari sighed, how to start a pile of work like this without any orders, want to start from where also do not know. Call who? While Bima also has not woke up from his coma.

Until the office break, Sundari only checked all the documents, but without a signature. Until the sound of the door handle opens when Sundari also wants to come out to fill the stomach.

"Eh sir." Sundari was polite.

"You want to rest?"

"Yes, Rio sir."

"Okay please, after the break is over, I want to hold a meeting." Okay, so Sundari answered and walked out.

How is Maudy doing now? Is he good?

"Sundari." One of the office employees chased after him with a small run before Sundari got into the elevator.

"Yes brother?"

"Hem, how's Mr Bima doing?" Sundari immediately sighed.

"I don't know brother, it asked his brother, he was in the room of Mr. Bima." Not giving up and getting into the elevator.

"Your father Bima." Sundari nodded and smiled wryly. "When he is a good person, hopefully Mr. Bima will recover soon and return to the office."

Ting. The sound of the elevator opened and Sundari stepped out. Just arriving at the office lobby, his eyes caught the crowd of people carrying cameras.

Why are there journalists? Why did you come in? Is it allowed?

"Sir, is that why there are so many journalists?" Sundari asked one of the securitty there.

"They were able to enter mbak, because they had seen Mr. Rio come here." His face was panicked and confused.

"Have you told this to Rio sir?"

"It's bad, but Mr. Rio hasn't come down yet. Perhaps he also did not want this news to be exposed in the media." Sundari stepped away by passing a horde of people who were ready with their equipment to search for news.

This atmosphere is very uncomfortable for the company owner or employees. Because of this, it will even become complicated later. Those who should quickly go to the pantry to fill the stomach so delayed, because of the great curiosity in everyone. Many employees stood up while whispering. Pointing towards the reporter whose gaze looked wild.

"Is Mr. Adi deliberately inviting them?"

"I don't know either. Ah let it go, we better eat before the break is over."

After getting word from Rio that securitty was assigned to expel the reporters then they move, it is also still insistent to get the news, not even a problem. Trying to approach employees who pass near them, how Bima, Bima state, but still, all office employees also do not know. With a faint face, they left the office courtyard.

***

Everyone had already gathered inside the room, sitting quietly and waiting for Rio to speak. The chiefs and other important staff are already here.

"Okay, I'll start." Breathe in. "You must have heard this sad news, right?" Everybody nods. "So, as long as my brother Bima as the CEO of this company has not been able to return to this office. I'll stop it." They were bearded, silent and did not answer.

"Do you mind if we pray together tonight?"

"No sir." One represents after whispering with the other.

"I hope so too. Well, tonight we pray for the healing of Bima, we carry it out in the office yard, I hope you come without exception."

"And I also want to say, I cannot come here every day, because there is no way I can continue here, while I hold two companies at once. So, as long as I'm not around, if there's a need, you can just say it to Sundari." Looking towards Sundari. "Is there anything you want to ask?"

"Sir?" One of the heads of the section points hands.

"Yes? Please?"

"How's Revan doing sir? Didn't he also go with Bima sir and become a victim of a plane crash? Is he okay." Rio instantly fell silent, his throat felt choked, how could he himself even forget about it.

"Revan is still in a coma." Sounded a tone of bitterness.

"Sir, why don't we all pray for it?"

"Well, if you want." Rio nodded in agreement. "Is there anything else you want to ask?" They were silent looking at each other.

"If there is none, our meeting is closed. Don't forget that at eight o'clock we've gathered here before, thank you for your participation." Rio immediately left the room.

And what, after Rio left the room, Sundari could still hear clearly what the other employees were talking about, probably because this room was soundproofed, she said, so if they speak slowly even though they will still hear it.

"It's not fair, is it? Cook should we ingetin, kasian Revan. I'm sure Bima's family hasn't seen Revan yet."

"Yes right, Kasian Revan. Well, then how's he gonna make money on his parents' medical expenses?"

"Hus, you guys are why! It was a plane crash, not because of Mr. Bima! It is the will of the almighty. Why do you blame Mr. Bima and family? In part, the current state of Pak Bima is still in a coma, where might even attach importance to others?" When the two provocateurs fell silent, Sundari pulled a little corner of her lips to smile, then left the room.

He stood by the window of the building, waiting for all the employees who promised to come tonight. And he, he didn't even go home or to the hospital. Wh why? Because he was very eager to pray for Bima by getting amen from all employees, Rio was sure this would help him. God does not sleep, so his mind speculates.

The door of the room that became his hiding place a few hours ago appeared on tap, Rio looked back with his hands still he slipped into the pocket of his pants.

"Why?" See securitty already standing there.

"Sir, the Religious have arrived." Rio nodded.

"If he doesn't mind I want to talk to him here."

"Okay sir, I'll tell you." The door closed again, Rio sat back on the sofa and waited. Then call an OB who was deliberately put overtime today to help prepare food for employees who are ready to pray.

"Please take a drink to my room."

"Good sir."

Rio back leaned back his body, massaging his own forehead.

How about, do I still have time for my family if my job is too much? Ah I hope after this I get good news about Bima's condition.

The sound of the door coming back on tap, Rio immediately let in.

"Sir Rio?" A religious expert, with the right clothes to wear to lead the prayer tonight. Rio smiled back at her and invited her to sit down immediately.

"Thank you sir for coming."

"It has been an honor for me to be able to pray for the recovery of Mr. Adi Nugroho's family. For me it's been amazing, you're willing to entrust it to me." Rio smiled again.

"Is there no development yet regarding the condition of Bima sir?" Rio shook his head slowly.

"This is the drink." An OB came in and put it on the table.

"Thank you." Waiting for the OB to come out the door, Rio was ready to answer.

"There has been no change at all, sir, it's still the same. My sister's in a coma, even the doctors themselves say they don't know when." Sighing heavily. A member of the Religion called Surya, he patted Rio on the shoulder and smiled.

"Patience, remember that God does not sleep. It's just an ordeal." Rio nodded.

***

All have gathered in the office yard, chairs that have been provided and tents to anticipate if suddenly there is rain. Rio also did not know whether all employees were present to pray for Bima tonight or not, but he knew all the seats provided were full, according to how many employees of the company.

His eyes glazed as Mr. Surya began his wisdom in leading the prayer, the murmuring sound that became one sounded earthy by saying amen made his heart beat fast and creepy.

The situation returned to silence when Mr. Surya started again with his prayer. All bowed down, submitting to God. The same hope is etched in each of their hearts, hoping God hears their prayers tonight.

For an hour, the prayer ended with thousands of thanks to those present tonight. Rio shed his tears, wiping them off before anyone saw.

"Thank you, sir, thank you to all of you who are here." Closing, and Rio sat back down. A rice box is distributed evenly as a form of gratitude.

"Sir, can we come to the hospital to see the condition of Mr. Bima?" Rio smiling.

"I'm sorry, I didn't refuse. But where is it possible that with the number of you that not a few hospitals allow you to enter." Clumsy, they even smiled shyly.

"Quite you help the family prayer Mr. Adi was very happy and grateful." They nodded.

Now, it's all back to sleep. The page does not mention a single person except himself. The car has been turned on the engine, and the goal is now a hospital, to just hear news about the development of Bima.

The car lights were already shining towards the gate, all the securitty on duty tonight lowered their heads politely as the car passed through the gate. Rio replied with a nod and smiled.

It was a tiring day for him to go from now on. Sometimes I think what sin his family did so that it gets a trial like this.

"How's Bima pa?" Rio came in still wearing a full outfit like he left earlier this morning.

"Don't you go home first?" Rio shakes.

"Mom, nothing has changed." Rio instantly sat down and was silent, his face lethargic.

"Go home io, let papa same mama waiting for Bima here. Meet your son and your wife who are waiting at home." Afterward Rio left his papa again sat next to his wife who had only been silent since. The pale face of a mother was clearly visible there.

"Ma? Mama hasn't eaten anything yet." She's quiet. "Ma?"

"Pa, mama really did not taste for anything before the doctor said Bima had passed her critical period." Rubbed his face violently. Then sit down and fold both hands. His gaze was blankly staring at the hospital hallway which was also every outdoor there was a patient's family waiting for his family.

"If you let your father go at that time, surely you won't be as sad as seeing Bima now."

"Pa, if this happens also papa, mama is also sad pa. What do you mean papa mama will be happy if you guys switch positions?"

"It's papa ma's fault." His wife immediately looked. "It's papa's fault." Sighing heavily. "Perhaps this is karma for papa, for the treatment of papa first to Bima, and now papa even fearing loss ma."

"Mr Adi?" They simultaneously turned their heads when the doctor who handled Bima came out.

"Who's Maudy?" He stood up straight.

"Bima hasn't opened her eyes yet, but from earlier treatment heard her call that name."

"Maudy patients in the VVIP dock room, which was treated before Bima was transferred to this hospital. He's my daughter-in-law, he's Bima's wife." Spell out.

"Have my son gone through his critical period, Doc?" Mama Lisa also opened her voice.

"Hopefully. Well, excuse me." They can only nod.

"Pa, please call the doctor who's treating Maudy right now pa."
