Hold on or let go!

The Eps 29

"And, no word yet on Mak Titin?", asked Cecep during lunch break. This time Febri had lunch at the Padang rice stall near Koramil's office.

"Not yet!", replied Febri briefly.

"Teh Salamah said he wanted to look at Mak."

"Later, there will be news from Bia. But.. It should be on schedule, today Mak Titin's operation."

"Owh..that's !", said Cecep.

"I met her husband Bia in person. As a guy, I admit he's handsome. It's the same with Bia."

Cecep smiled faintly as he glanced at his commander who was just stirring his rice with a spoon.

"The commander is also not less handsome actually, just....."

Febri glanced at his companion.

"What's it?", asked Febri curiously.

"Jombo hehhehe!"." said Cecep.

"Less asem you are Cep!", said Febri snorting in annoyance.

"Here many beautiful women Ndan time. What profession do you want? Another nurse like the late commander's wife? A midwife? Teacher? ....!"

,Cecep's speech was interrupted by Febri.

"From you are busy nawarin a beautiful girl with all the professions you call earlier, mending you find a soul mate for yourself."

"Heheheh Ndan, I still don't want a wife. But if my girlfriend is there. I am still young anyway."

"So you want to say I'm old?" Febri said.

"Weiiisssh. I do not mean to say that you know, but in reality the commander is already old in my appeal heheh....!"

"Let's be at least the age I've been married. Than you!", said Febri, standing on his stool.

"Well...Nand.uh...Ndan, the time was crashing anyway!", Cecep chased after his commander while putting a fifty thousand piece of money on the table.

Febri had been in the office first.

"Udah payin got me earlier cep? How much?", asked Febri.

"Inget also turns out, kirain accidentally forgot!", said Cecep.

"You want to change, no? If you want to buy nothing!"

"Eeeh. Twenty-five thousand Ndan!", said Cecep as he raised his hand.

Febri held out a green piece of money.

"Less Ndan!", whine Cecep.

"Look at me I heard it Cep!", said Febri.

"Lagian Ndan, right twenty-five why give only twenty? Less dong?"

"Yes tomorrow!" said Febri casually and then to his room.

"Isssh.. commander mah so!", said Cecep blinking his lips.

"Excuse me! Mrs Titin can already be moved into the ward!", a nurse told me. Right now A Alby is asleep with his head in my lap. I'm actually embarrassed, but it looks like the nurse also understood.

"Yes sus!"

The nurse came back into the room.

"A, wake! Mak wants to move into the ward!", I said patting her cheek gently. Alby looked for a moment.

"Why neng?", asked Alby hoarsely.

"I don't want to move into the ward!" I said.

Is my anger gone? Nah! I'm still mad! Still emotion! But as much as I can hold it.

Alby got up from his seat on the floor.

"Neng...?", said Alby.

"You go to the bathroom first. Let me be here. So if Mak moves rooms, I already know. Just tell you!"

Me? Ye? Inner Alby.

"Neng, Aa.!", Alby's not done talking I got up from my seat along with the door that opened.

The nurse let me follow Mak's gurney. I see Mak's face is still so pale. Oxygen hose is still in use. His left hand was still stuck with an infusion needle.

I don't know what Mak feels. It might hurt a lot more than I feel right now.

It turns out that Mak's room is not too far away. Mr. Hartama is not kidding, he provides excellent facilities. My mom is in the VIP room. For the lower middle class like me, this room is too luxurious.

I grabbed my phone, typed the name of Mak's room in the care of Alby.

"Then excuse me!" said the nurses.

"Thank you sus!", I said. How long it took, Dr. Sakti came in.

"Bia!", he said.

"Yes doc!", I said.

"Where's your husband?"

"Go to the bathroom, Doc! Oh yes, doc, how much longer is Mom suman?"

Doctor Sakti also explained everything I had to do after Mak siuman later.

"Oh yes Bi. Commander Febri isn't here anymore?", asked Sakti.

"Eum? Maybe he was busy, doc. Do doctors need to be with him? If so, this is my phone number."

Doctor Sakti shakes.

"Religious. Just ask!"

"Owh..kirain there's an important doc!"

"Ngga kok Bi. Yes, I live. If you've just called me."

"Yes doc!", I said.

Doctor Sakti comes out with Alby in the room. I saw them saying hello for a while, Alby approached me.

I chose to sit next to Mak's gurney on the left. Alby is on the right. As a result, Mak was in the middle between us.

I know Alby's looking at me. But I haven't been able to act ordinary to her after this incident.

"Darling...A....!"

"Now I don't want to talk about anything!"

Alby breathed.

"Sorry!", he said softly. But I don't want to respond to him.

A silent atmosphere enveloped this room. I know there's a lot Alby wants to say. But I just can't hear the reason that doesn't make sense to me. If only he had complied with me at that time! He doesn't need to know Mr. Hartama and everything is as it is now. But the rice has become porridge. Toh .. nowadays Mak's health is much more important.

Alby's phone rang and vibrated several times but he didn't pick it up. I don't know who that is! I was lazy to ask him too.

For a while, his phone stopped ringing. But after that, there was another call that made Alby rub his face.

With hesitation, he raised the call.

[Why did you reject Silvy's call?]

[My master.].

[You don't mess with me Alby. Titin's life is in my hands.]

[Astaghfirullah Sir. Life dies someone God determines!]

[Oh... alright! Does that mean you want to fight me?]

I saw Alby squeezing his hair rough.

[Yes, I'll contact non silvy]

[Good! Remember that in two days you will be married. Because Titin's condition does not allow to be brought here, so I decided you would marry in the hospital. All right, so your wife can see it too]

[Astaghfirullah! sir.!]

The call just got cut off.

Arggggghhhhh!

Alby's getting away from Mak's gurney. He sat in front of the bathroom door. After that, he went into the bathroom.

I don't know what his employer said until Alby was like that. I heard the sound of water flowing. And the sound of a 'bug', it looks like Alby's punch to the wall.

I want to go to Alby. But.I chose to stay seated next to Mak.
