I Love You Dr. Chicanery

Kidnapped

"Rich... Raya.wake up son"

The soft caress in my head woke me up. I slowly opened my eyes. My head still feels heavy. I tried to get up and open my eyes several times, rubbing them to see more clearly the person who woke me up.

An old woman nearing her 60s was in front of me, sitting on the bedside next to me. That woman is my mother, I used to call her ummik. Seeing her wearing white face made me ask.

"What time is this, ummik?"

"Before the adhan maghrib, let's pray together with ummik" he said in a gentle tone full of affection.

I nodded and immediately woke up even though I still wanted to sleep. I stumbled across the towel and entered the bathroom.

The coldness of the water flushed my body like an oasis in the middle of the desert, very soothing and this is what I need most right now.

After taking a bath I immediately followed ummi to the prayer room, this place was like a small musholla inside the house. Seeing me come ummik immediately get ready to become a priest whose mummy must be only me. Raqaat demi raqaat walks quietly and solemnly until the completion of three raqaat. Ummik finished it by saying right and left greetings and closing them with prayer.

After the prayer routine I usually kissed ummik's hand but this time when ummik stretched out his hand, I was even pensive about something and remembered it for some reason. The times I prayed together with Mahfudz, and almost grabbed and kissed the koas boy's hand.

"Raya???"ummik's reprimand breaks my daydream.

"Huhuh??" I was confused. "Oh, yeah, ummik"

I grabbed the wrinkled hand and kissed it. Ummik stroked my head fondly, and my response was to hug ummik and stick my head on his chest spoiled.

"Raya.."call ummik.

"Yes, mik?!"sahutku without trying to release my embrace from ummik.

"Is hospital work not too tiring for you, son?"

There was a concerned tone to the ummik question. I understand it may be ummik pity to see me who sometimes do not come home because of too many tasks in the hospital. Today I was able to go home in the afternoon, after leaving for the hospital yesterday afternoon. More than 24 hours of time I sometimes spend working in the hospital. After work like that, I just got home when the ashar adhan. Pray briefly and immediately collapse to sleep before finally ummik wake up during this maghrib.

"Capek anyway, mik.But how else, the name is also the demands of mik work? If Raya does not work, how will the future of Raya? Unfortunately also donk, Raya high school but medical science is not used for the good of others"

Ummik smiled and fixed my face, putting in some strands of hair that apparently came out from inside my face.

"If you want, you don't have to work in a hospital, Ray. If you just want to make you a clinic or mini ummik hospital still have savings, son! It must be enough to guarantee your future, baby."

The one I always admired from ummik. This ummikku is a simple and simple woman even though no one else knows that ummik is a rich enough person. Evidently he was able to send me to become a doctor even almost finished taking a subspecialist education which certainly costs a lot. And now even he said he wanted to build a clinic and a mini hospital for me. O Allah, give the happiness and salvation of the Hereafter to my ummah, O God, my prayer in the heart.

"Ummik, ummik just save the money ummik ya, mik!"I said while letting go of my embrace. "On the future, ummik do not have to worry about Raya anymore, Raya can already be independent really, mik. General Income from working in a hospital was alhamdulillah could meet all the needs of Raya even ummik could be the responsibility of his needs. Until when will ummik always sustain the life of Raya? Raya has been very grateful to be given a mother who is like ummik. Kingdom born, raised lovingly even schooled until graduation so doctors and even the cost of higher education to take subspecialists was still ummik who was giggly even though in fact Raya was able to pay for herself the cost of higher education, now is the time to think about ummik happiness itself, with the money ummik can walk wherever ummik want, umrah or take the Hajj again, mik!"

"Ummik has been on Hajj twice, has been umrah several times, son! Drought will not be good if there are still many difficult people around us. Ummik wants to wake up the clinic for you, who knows it could be charity jariyah also for ummik, ummik property has will not ummik take it dead too. We can build a popular clinic for the lower middle class, which is affordable for those who are economically disadvantaged"

I'm really proud of ummik. She was indeed a wise woman whom I have lived up to this time.

"Yes, mik!Later Raya think again deh, we pray isya aja first."I asked to remind ummik if the Adzan isya has begun to reverberate.

After performing the Isya prayer, me and ummik headed to the kitchen for dinner. Ummik prepare my favorite clear vegetables gambas, along with fish and tempe fried with simple basil sambal. I eat with gourmand. Mother-made food is indeed the most delicious food in the world even though it is cooked only simple food.

After eating, I helped ummik clean the dishes for me to wash.

"Raya.." call ummik.

"Yes, mik.." I was doing the dishes in the sink.

"At the hospital, you still see him often?"

"Who is he, mik?"my question even though I actually know who ya ummik mean.

"Ohh, Ali.." I replied indifferently."It was just a press conference. Incidentally we are a team in handling the care of his son Pak Waridi, nothing, mik, just calm down, do not say ummik afraid I am a snatch of the husband of the man yes"

"Ahh, no. Ummik mah sure ummik son good-good boy, sholeha. But ummik is not sure the same man, who knows he still likes to bother you, if remember he used to come here and already ummik consider like his own child, if you think, ummik so hate himself ummik "

I'm speechless. Ummik must be disappointed with Ali. They even talked about my marriage to Ali, even though they haven't met their families. And it turns out Ali even held a wedding with Tya. Remembering also when Ali pulled my hand from the crowd, I don't know why I feel that the man still has feelings for me. Astaghfirullah, I became a suudzon, Istighfarku in my heart.

"It's not Raya's soul mate, mik.." I said.

"really. You will surely be paired with someone better than him, ummik always pray for you."

"Aamiin, Raya also always prayed that ummik always be given the happiness of the afterlife, ummik"

\*\*\*\*

Today I'm off work. Not because of the schedule, but because I feel very tired and worried that I will fall if I stay determined to go to work with patients who are certainly seabreg. I asked Winda to set my schedule in poly to tomorrow. Subscription patients will certainly be disappointed, but if contacted from the beginning, surely they will understand. The rest I asked the resident obgyn doctor to replace my duties in poly which he would be happy to welcome because with that opportunity he had a lot of experience dealing with obgyn patients directly.

Ummik and I today have a cooking schedule at home, the plan ummik want to make a cake mendut as a snack because ummik know I am not anywhere today. Mendut cake is a market snack cake made from sticky rice flour with coconut milk filling in it.

"Raya, can you grab a banana leaf next to the house? Ummik again make this strand, have not had time to take the banana leaves."

"Can, ummik" I said."Just a minute"

I was replying to a chat from dr. Ali said that Ayuni's patient had regained consciousness. However, it has not been confirmed due to trauma.

[I am again off, today there is dr. Gayatri, I'll ask her to help me replace me with the condition of Ayuni's fetus]

I sent that chat message and put my phone on the kitchen table. Then approached ummik who was busy stirring coconut milk to find a knife that I would use to cut banana leaves.

Next to the house there is an empty land that has many banana plants, this land is land belonging to ummik as well.

I swiftly slashed the banana leaf midrib that was not too young nor too old. I often do this, sometimes banana leaves are used ummik to make fish pepes or wrap other types of cakes to serve as snacks.

Finished taking some banana leaves I rushed to go back home.

I jumped over a small parquet on the side of the road when a black car, stopped right in front of me. Car window open.

"Dr. Raya?"

"Yes" I replied in wonder. I don't know who's in the car.

The back door of the car is open. A man in a levis jacket came out.

"Can you come with us?"

"A..you who?"

I started to worry when another one of them got out and circled the car so he was right behind me.

"Ka...who are you? What do you want?"I started to tighten my voice but the person behind me smothered my mouth and they forced me into the car. I tried to scream but in vain. Although I can be said to be close to home, but ummik free will not be able to hear me because he was in the kitchen that was at the back of the house. And this housing is too quiet in the days and hours like this because most residents must be busy doing activities at work and business respectively.

Am I being kidnapped?Wh why?By who? Where am I going to take you?

A thousand questions only came to my mind as the car drove away from my house. I can't imagine how panicked ummik will be when he doesn't find me in the empty land and sees banana leaves falling on the side of the road.

Ummik, please Raya!!!
