I'm You And He

29. Restu is blocked

Gita wakes up from her sleep. His body still hurts. His eyes looked around him. He was alone without anyone accompanying him. Far from family.

Gita is crying, she misses her family. He wants to go home. But there's still something he wants to finish.

"Assalamualaikum, ma." Gita called her mom

"Girishalive, Git. How are you, son?" Sapa mama's.

"Alhamdulillah well,ma. How's it going over there?"

" We thank God very well. When do you get home, son? Opa asks you on."

"Opa what's up, ma?"

"Yes, like that. His body cannot move. But Opa can talk."

"Alhamdulillah. I want to talk to you, ma."

"Papa rest, son. More trouble." Say Mama.

"What do you want to tell Papa? Let Mama help you deliver."

"Not so, ma." Gita urung told about her grandfather's house which was made Mushola by Sukasari residents.

"There really isn't?" Ask Mama to confirm her son's words.

"Yes, ma. There's no." Firm Gita.

"Yes, it's almost early in the morning you haven't slept yet."

"Mama herself why haven't you slept?" Gita asked back.

"Mom mostly sleeps, so tonight can't sleep. Mama's got a wedding cake project for Rere and Roki. But mama is lazy to come. Mostly Opa drivers who send."

"Ma."

"Yes, baby."

"Please Mama come to Rere and Roki's wedding, yeah. As a representative of the Gita. As Rere's mother too. After all, Irawan's family are also close friends with Papa and Opa."

"Gita, you're not mad at them."

"Why should Gita be angry, ma? Gita realizes Roki is not for Gita. Gita is sincere."

"What's your relationship with Ronal?"

"Ronally? Where did you hear it from?"

"From Ine. Is that true if your mom's son is already in Ronal's room?"

Gita laughs "it's just Ronal's brother's guyonan, because Ine's too cool."

"So no, huh?" My mother's voice sounded disappointed.

Gita heard Mama's tone of speech as if disappointed. Actually Gita wants to agree with this news, but Gita feels aunty does not approve of their relationship. Too soon to show himself, Gita is afraid of getting sick again. Gita hopes Ronal will fight for their relationship.

While in the house of Nature. Aunt can't sleep. Same with Ronal. Ronal (Nature) is still restless with the Gita. Aunt saw her nephew restlessly asking Ronal to pray the night so that her heart would calm down. Bibi also reminded Gita of who Ronal really is.

Ronal told me about Irwan asking him to propose to his daughter.

"Yes, it's up to you, lam. You want to not? Didn't you love her so much."

"Thus,Bi. Not now. Now I love..."

"Stop, lam. You forgot what that girl did? You forgot that he's also the cause of our mess." Aunty's voice was rising.

"Bi!" Ronal welding.

Auntie got out of her seat. His eyes glared up into the sky. If only Nature had not stuck with the Gita, perhaps their family would still be complete. Perhaps Nature has given him a grandson.

He did not take revenge on Gita, but seeing yesterday's problems, it is not impossible that his family will get new problems again.

"Here you go, it's morning already. Rest up. Tomorrow we'll see your uncle."

...-----------...

This morning, Gita was allowed to go home. But no one picked him up. Gita refused to ask Ronal for help.

"Has my family been there to pick me up?" Ask one of the nurses there.

"Maybe be quiet again." Answer Gita.

"Sus?" Call Gita

"Yes, ma'am." Sister.

"May I stay here again last night. I'm not yet awake." Pinta Gita felt her body was still limp

"Bby mbak. I'll talk to the doctor."

Gita called one of her relatives in Sarolangun. They are shocked to hear that Gita is back in Sukasari. This afternoon they will pick up Gita to go back to Sarolangun.

"Sir, Imel please book a ticket back to Jakarta tomorrow dong." Call Gita to her cousin, Imel.

"Okay, Gita. You don't think you should go home first." Imel.

"You rest first at the house of Eyang Amay. We'll pick you up." Connect Imel.

"Tomorrow, brother. I still want to rest." Said Gita.

"Rest in the house. Anyway, I'll pick it up with Indra."

Mas Indra is the husband of Imel. When Gita was in college, Imel married her boyfriend Indra since High School. Imel who was in college was forced to stop, because one month after marriage she was already pregnant.

Eyang Amay is the younger brother of Taufik's grandfather. Since they were expelled from Sukasari, Gita and his family have been living in an eye-popping house. Gita and Imel are only a year apart, but their school is in unison. Gita moves to Imel's school which is not far from their home. The house of Eyang Amay is huge. That said, Papa said the house was deliberately made by Taufik's grandfather so that all their brothers, children and grandchildren could gather.

The clock was showing at 15:00, no one saw him. Either mother, Siti, Edwar, or Ronal.

A hijab woman appeared in front of him.

"Sister Imel!" Gita said she saw her cousin change.

"Yes, Allah Gita you are pangling now." Imel cried while playing cupiki on Gita.

"I also pangling see brother. Beautiful hijab." Gita replied in amazement.

"You should also wear it, learn a little bit."

"God willing, no."

They went back to Sarolangun. Gita called Siti or Edwar, but no one picked up.

Gita leaves a message for them to return to Sarolangun.

Shortly after the Gita leaves. Ronal (Nature) arrived at the puskesmas to find Gita had returned home to pick up her family.

"Basic is not polite. Already accommodated, returning home not farewell to the Siti family.

That's the woman you want to make a wife for." Omel's aunt when Alam told her that Gita was picked up by her family.

"Still in Sarolangun, bi. It's close to here." Clearly Nature.

"Whatever it is. It's not ethical not to come back here first. Don't you keep defending." Omel aunt.

Alam asked Siti about the address of Gita's residence in Sarolangun. Siti says she doesn't know and has never been there. Edwar, who heard Siti lying, reminded his sister of the Gita family's service to him.

Edwar recalled the time of completion of Siti High School had worked in Sarolangun, although in a matter of months but Siti was completed by the Gita family.

Siti opened the message sent by Gita and deleted it. Edwar asked if Gita had contacted Siti or SMS, saying nothing.

"What because of your aunt's offer to be like this?" Ask Edwar.

Bibi had offered mother to match Alam and Siti. Nature certainly refuses.

Arriving at the house of Eyang Amay. Gita. Gita wanted to tell Ronal if she was in Sarolangun. But it is undo considering since he was treated Ronal has not come to visit him. As if feeling distant, Gita wants to calm down first.

Ronal pondered in the silence of the night, she attributed what aunt said. A lot has happened since he returned to Sukasari. Including when Irwan asked him to marry his daughter.

"What's it for, brother?" Siti's voice startled Nature's daydream.

"Let's enjoy the night air." Answer Nature without looking at Siti.

"Think of Gita, huh?" Ask Siti

"It can be, it can't." Still without looking at Siti

"So, look at me if anyone else is talking." Siti holding the head of Nature turned her face towards it.

Soon Siti let go, inexplicably she felt not strong looking at the face of Nature. Siti got up from her seat, then said goodbye to Nature because she was sleepy. But in Siti's room unable to sleep, she reflected the face of Nature.

"Gita's lucky. Surrounded by men like Roki, Nature and bang Ed." Say it in the heart.

Siti tries to contact Gita, but is undone. He forced his eyes to sleep. But his heart was racing again. Siti slammed the pillow, waking the mother up.

"I'm tired of giving up." His shouting.

"What's wrong with you, ti?" Mom wakes up to hear Siti's voice.

"No papa, Mom. Siti just let go of the one who stuck up." replied Siti after saying astaghfirullah.

"Read your prayer before bed, son." Reproof mom.

While on the terrace, Nature gazed at the moon shining brightly.

Gita who was in the upper room was also staring at the moon.
