Holding My Heart Belongs to Me
08. Separate Room
Mr. Irawan managed to get approval from a neurologist and internal medicine doctor to leave the hospital that night. With the guarantee of a nurse from his own large hospital who has been hired by the Irawan family to continue to care for themselves.
The magnificent two-story house that is still brightly lit is like welcoming the arrival of the master back home. As the face of Mr. Irawan who looks bright when looking at his beautiful new daughter-in-law and has been very loved for a long time.
"Adit, consider this your own home." Mr. Irawan said softly without being able to speak more. His chest sense was still breathless if it had to be long talking.
"Thank you, Mr. Irawan," greeted Ardhita after looking at Mr. Irawan for a moment. The very unpretentious man of the house nodded faintly and smiled small and warmly at him.
Ardhita and the hired sisters continued to follow Mr. Irawan who was being pushed Reizvan towards a main room in the front of the house. Opposite the sofa in the family room.
Mr. Irawan had been moved by Reizvan from his wheelchair onto his large bed. The real old man was still weak and needed special care it looked up from the pillow.
"Ardhita again went to the back bathroom, Pa," replied Reizvan, aware of who her father was looking up to.
"Relig ...." Mr. Irawan returned to lay his head on the pillow with a huff.
"Reiz, Adit's your wife. You sleep together. Be a man who is responsible for birth and mind," said Mr. Irawan suddenly. Looked at Reizvan with a serious stiff face. The old eye glances sharpened at his son.
"Yes, Pa. Papa don't worry" said Reizvan hurriedly. Either really a promise that will be kept, or just a mere word of mouth for the health of his papa.
"Come out, Papa is mending now. Take Adit to rest in your room, Reiz. It's late" said Mr. Irawan not tired of telling.
"Yes, Pa" he said slowly.
Reizvan does not want to make a rebuttal to Mr. Irawan, at least in the near future. Hopefully his father's health will recover perfectly so that he can return to Jakarta faster. The man approached the nurse from the hospital to talk to him.
"I'm out first, Ma'am. Please take good care of my father" Reizvan's final message after speaking as necessary to the rent-a-nurse.
"Yes, Mas. Don't worry" said the tall nurse, nodding.
Reizvan has walked towards the big door in Mr. Irawan's room. Grabbing the doorknob and gently slamming when it is passed.
Ardhita looks new out from the back with followed by a fat woman a little old behind him. The woman threw her friendly smile at Reizvan.
"How are you, Mas Reiz?" greet the woman who is none other than the assistant worker at the house of Mr. Irawan.
"Alhamdulillah, Mother. Mr Tin, healthy?" ask Reizvan warmly. The woman Mak Tin called then nodded.
"Alhamdulillah, also healthy. Mas Reizvan, this beautiful mother is really her sister?" ask mak Tin seriously.
"Mr Tin, who knows if this girl is my sister?" ask Reizvan.
"The mother said it herself, Mas," replied mak Tin pointing to Ardhita.
"Yes, Mrs Tin. His name is Ardhita, is Papa's foster son. She is also my sister .... Is there an empty room ready to be occupied, Mak Tin?" Reizvan asked with a sigh of concern for his heart.
It is not indifferent to the desire of the father to have the girl room with him. However, do not want if Ardhita feels uncomfortable and not free. Reizvan tries to understand the young soul of Ardhita who is still full of demands and adventure.
"Uwalah, it's behind two empty rooms. Or the room next to it Mas Reiz is also empty and ready to be occupied you know, Mas," said mak Tin excitedly.
"Please trim the room next to me, Mak Tin" Reizvan said politely.
"Excite, Mas. It's neat you know actually, I just replace the mattress cover just wess," said mak Tin like talking to himself.
The woman who had walked away with a few steps suddenly stopped and turned to look at the pair of people back. Looks like something will be told.
"If his sister wants to be invited to eat, there is also rice, vegetables and side dishes, you know, Mas!" mak Tin exclaimed before returning to walk towards the second floor. Reizvan's room was on the second floor, next to the room that Ardhita would occupy and would still be prepared by him.
"Dit, your room is still being prepared as mak Tin. If there's anything you can tell him." Reizvan looked at Ardhita who was listening, then nodded.
"Yes, mas" said Ardhita later.
"We should eat first. I'm so hungry. My energy is drained, lemes. Yuk, Dit!"
Reizvan patted Ardhita's shoulder arm once gently. Then walk towards the kitchen quickly. Ardhita who was also feeling hungry rushed over. Not knowing where to go. Although it is in a safe place, it feels like it is in a distant and foreign place.
In the past, in addition to the project location, Mr. Adam did take him several times to visit this house. However, he just waited and played in the park outside in front of the house. Gradually, Mr. Adam never brought her back to this house.
However, occasionally still bring it to the project site. As usual, help the task of Mr. Adam who as a building foreman on the project owned by Mr. Irawan. Because he was busy studying and was independent, his father preferred to leave himself at home. No longer carried anywhere.
"Sit down and eat with fullness, Dit. Consider it your home. If you're feeling disinclined, let's just say I don't exist." Reizvan's warm words broke Ardhita's seagrass.
"Yes, Mas. But how can I say no, and who am I here with?" sahut Ardhita with origin. Try to throw a little smile and joke. Offsetting the friendliness of Reizvan who looked even more handsome as the man smiled.
