I'm Not Him

I'm Not Him
138



"Sir, I found a body" said a fisherman at Saga who was ready to go to sleep.


Saga sighed, a few months of serving on the coast greatly irritated him. Many trivial things that make residents always report to him.


Last time, a resident reported that his catch was stolen by another resident while he was sleeping. Though he was drunk and did not remember that he did not go sailing.


Saga's out of her boarding house. With heavy strides, he followed the fisherman who was very frightened by what he was about to show. They walk quite far, a place that may be rarely passed by fishermen because they walk through the trees are quite dense.


Saga's steps began to accelerate, as she saw the human body lying on the beach side, slightly swept away by the waves. Saga gasped for breath, she looked at him with a swallow of saliva several times.


His co-worker wasn't with him this time. He was alone, also unable to report because the signal was bad. He looked at the fisherman.


Saga started to check, she turned her body around and checked her pulse. His eyes were round, his pulse was still felt even though it was weak.


"Sir, please call the others to carry a stretcher. He is alive" Saga said.


The fisherman ran, shortly afterwards returning with two other men carrying stretchers. They took him to the Saga.


"Running fast, ask Ayu's midwife to come and help. Tell me to bring all his medical equipment" Saga told one of the young people who helped.


Saga still can't do anything, he doesn't understand first aid for drowning people. He was also afraid to touch her because she was a woman.


Saga tidied up her hair that was still blocking her face. His eyes widened as he watched closely the woman's face.


"Crazy!" said Saga.


"Our officer knows?" ask fishermen.


Saga looked over and looked at the man. He nodded but also still could not believe what he saw.


"This world is indeed narrow, the friend of the officer sir can be stranded on this beach" said the man.


He leaves Saga alone, Saga comes out of his room, waiting for Ayu's midwife who still hasn't come.


Saga's about to call Vero, he's looking for his phone. But a few moments while he was holding the phone, he patted his eel.


"I forgot, still a nuisance" he murmured.


He saw Dila from outside his room.


~What happened? Why would he be stranded on the coast here?~ ask Saga's heart.


Shortly after, Ayu's midwife comes knocking on Saga's already open door. Saga who woke up from her daydream turned her head and took Ayu to her room.


"Look, his body is very cold. But he's still alive. Help, she's a woman" Saga said.


Ayu looked at Saga, she who was indeed from the beginning amazed at him was more fascinated when Saga did not dare to do anything to women.


"Alright, you can get out" Ayu said.


"My clothes in the closet, just wear enough for him" said Saga as she closed the door.


Ayu undid Dila's clothes and replaced them with Saga's clothes, according to the orders of her idol officers. After that, he checked out Dila.


Shortly after, Ayu came out. He tidied up his equipment.


"Is he okay?" ask Saga who is approaching.


Ayu looked at him, she was silent for a moment, feeling Saga was very considerate of the woman he had just saved.


"I think he's tired of swimming, he's feverish and maybe a little weak. But he was great, in bad weather he was able to survive. We don't even know where he came from" Ayu said.


Saga looked at Dila from the door, Ayu watched her.


"Wouldn't it be a problem if he stayed at your house sir?" ask Ayu.


"I will sleep in the post, I will ask Bu Uwi to accompany him" said Saga.


Bu Uwi is the landlord that Saga rents. Ma'am is kindhearted and very attentive to Saga.


"Thank you!" said Saga.


"It's my duty sir, we're assigned to this coastal area for this emergency. Even though we do not know, or are not citizens here, we must still help" Ayu explained with a smile.


Ayu left after saying goodbye. Saga stared at the departure of the young Midwife who was also assigned there before she came. Their introduction began from the same situation. But the person Ayu treated was the criminal Saga shot during her pursuit.


The place is quite far from the city, making the coastal area difficult to get more handling. Ayu becomes a midwife who must be versatile, even handling gunshot wounds.


Saga walked towards Bu Uwi's house which was close to his boarding house. He knocked slowly fearfully bothering him.


"Your..! Uwi ma'am!" exciting Saga.


Bu Uwi came out of his house. By rubbing his eyes to recover his vision from his sleep.


"What's up, sir? Gini nights!" his weakness.


"Hehe sorry Mom, I found a drowning victim. Still not aware, but I can not sleep at home, because the victim is female" explained Saga.


"Ouhhh, yes, the mother moved" he said understanding the situation as if it had been common.


"Thank you Mom!" said Saga.


"Yes!" answer Ms. Uwi briefly.


Bu Uwi went into the Saga boarding house and then closed it again. While Saga went to the post joined the citizens who were part of the patrol that night.

Yudi sat next to Dila, he clasped his bruised hand and there were many scars.


Sometimes his hands stroked Dila's cheeks and smiled. She was so grateful that Dila could still touch her and stay with her.


Vero and Arumi just stared at them through the glass door from the outside. Vero sighed, Arumi rubbed his arm as a sign of moral support for everything that happened.


They went home after more quiet hearing the Doctor saying that Dila was much better and showing progress.


While Bondan is still staring at photos of himself and Rania at Nuri's wedding. He continues to regret what happened. Clara did all that because of her. That makes everyone lose the person they love the most.


Fajri, who had just arrived to accompany her that night, saw Bondan, who was putting his cell phone on the table.


"You haven't slept?" ask Fajri.


"Not yet, exactly can't" Bondan replied.


Fajri put his bag under the table then he sat down at Bondan's side.


"How's Baby Vania doing?" ask Bondan while tidying up to get ready for bed.


"She's getting adorable, Nuri turns out to be very good at everything, especially taking care of the baby" Fajri replied with a smile.


"From tomorrow you don't have to accompany me, say Nuri and Baby V, because you are waiting for me, your family time is disturbed" said Bondan.


"Hey.we are in a situation far from anyone's shadow. I don't know what this exam is, but I can only support you by accompanying you like this. You know, if I could, I'd also look for victims of the plane that crashed into the Karimata Strait" Fajri said.


"I've asked someone to do it" Bondan said.


Fajri is shocked to hear Bondan's words.


"Someone?" ask Fajri.


"Yes, he's a pretty rich and good friend, he's willing to help me after getting word from me. He also knows very well my relationship with Rania. So he was very excited to look for it" Bondan explained.


"Thank God, so now that you recover quickly, we should be able to look for it together" said Fajri.


Bondan smiled and looked very excited. Fajri felt ironic, he said encouraging words, with a heart that was actually very sorry for Bondan who could not accept the reality of Rania's death.
