JODOHKU CLASSMATE

OLD LADY

The cloud drove to the office in his car. Arriving at the office, Awan got a call from a person he knew very well.

"Rachel?" the word Awan when looking at the screen of his mobile phone.

"Hello?" greet the clouds from the phone.

"Awan, help me. My stomach hurts a lot!" The voice of the woman behind the phone sounded very weak. He complained of the occasional pain also heard sobs from the woman.

"Where are you?" cloud said in a bit of panic. He got into his car and drove to where Rachel was.

The clouds find Rachel unconscious on the floor of her room. The clouds were very shocked to see the pale-looking Rachel lying on the floor.

"Rachel!" shriek Clouds panic. He then took the woman to the hospital. Clouds carry Rachel who is still unconscious to the emergency unit of one of the hospitals near Rachel's residence.

"Dok help my friend doc." The doctor examined Rachel's condition. The clouds are waiting outside the room. Although Rachel is her past, but she still feels anxious about the condition of the woman.

After waiting for quite a while, the Doctor who examined Rachel walked out of the room.

"What is my friend's condition?"

"From the symptoms and the examination that has been done, sister Rachel experienced inflammation that causes a lump in her appendix or what we commonly call appendicitis, sir, so to prevent the possibility of the lump breaking we have to do the action that is surgery on the appendix."

"Operation doc?" The clouds looked very anxious when the doctor gave Rachel the diagnosis. Although her mother worked in the hospital, the shadow of an operation was enough to worry her.

"So calm, this operation inshaAllah will not endanger the patient's life."

"Well doc, just do what's best for my friend doc."

Cloud then called the office to ask for leave. She chose to accompany Rachel to the hospital. Rachel in a room. The clouds came to Rachel who was still asleep in the hospital bed. Slowly, Rachel opened her eyes.

"Hey, are you awake?" cloud said to the woman in front of him.

"Awan, sorry I called you. I don't know who else to ask" said Rachel, feeling guilty.

"No Papa Chel," said the smiling Cloud.

"Tomorrow, you must have surgery, said your doctor must fast for today." Rachel nodded at the Cloud's words.

"You ate it in Chel's care, don't get sick like this" said Cloud softly.

"You keep not working?" rachel asked spontaneously when remembering today was the weekend.

"I'm taking a day off today." Rachel just nodded her head in a sign of understanding.

"I'm sorry once again," said Rachel reflexively holding Cloud's hand.

"Yes" said the smiling Cloud. He slowly releases Rachel's hand.

"Oh yeah, I'll get the clothes you made here."

"Oh yeah, I haven't got any clothes. No, papa is that?"

"Well, I'm going to where you used to be, get some clothes, okay?" ask the Clouds for Rachel.

"It's still the same, right? that's why I could go in." Rachel just silently heard the clouds say. He has not changed his household password since breaking up with Cloud.

The clouds passed leaving Rachel in the room by herself. He drove his car to the woman's house. The clouds pack some of Rachel's needs. When he finished, he looked at the house. It looks a little messy with a few packs of food and a bottle of drink on the dining table. Clouds even found 2 glasses of wine and some cigarette butts on the TV room table.

"When did Rachel smoke?" the word Monologue cloud. He seemed to think hard about what he had just discovered.

The clouds cleared the house a little. When she was done, she went back to the hospital to see Rachel. Late in the afternoon, Awan accompanies Rachel to the hospital. She greeted Rachel patiently. Sometimes they talk about massalu that used to be very imprinted in the hearts of both.

"What about your marriage, Wan?" rachel asked spontaneously.

"Hmmm... I'm good. She was a kind, hard-working, independent, loving woman, a woman who often amazed me with the surprises she made. A woman who is deeply in love with her family, and my family as well. The woman who made me keep thinking that I'm lucky to have her." The clouds smiled at Rachel. He seemed very happy when he told Rachel about his wife.

"It's lucky he's got you" Rachel told the Clouds.

"I'm lucky to have her." Rachel was actually disappointed to hear those words coming out of the mouth of the person she still loved. Rachel simply replied to Cloud with a smile.

In the afternoon, he got a call from Dana. The clouds came out of the room to pick up his wife's phone.

"Hello Dan?"

"Awan, will you watch tonight? I want to watch a movie, something new, huh?"

"Em, and I don't think I can take you, I'm looking at my sick friend. Going home a bit late at night as well, if you meet old friends, there must be a lot of conversation, too," said Awan looking for an excuse.

"Who's sick, Wan?" Dana was a little curious about the friend that Cloud meant. Before marriage until the time he was married, only a few friends of Awan Dana knew. Clouds that tend to be introverted rarely travel with friends.

"She, temen. I'm telling you you don't know either. The children of the Jakarta region also."

"Oh that, yes no papa, you look at your friend. But I'll let you see later?" dana said to the Cloud.

"Who's the same go?"

"Mba Arin maybe, he didn't watch it yesterday, too" Dana explained.

"Well, are you careful? sorry, dear?" cloud said from behind the phone.

"Yes, greetings to your friends. Hope you get well soon" Dana told the Clouds. Dana hung up the phone after she finished talking to Cloud. He then called Arin to accompany him to watch a movie. On the other hand, the Clouds exhaled their heavy breaths. He actually felt very guilty for not being frank with Dana. He did not want them to debate trivial matters so the Cloud chose to find an excuse for Dana.

That night, Dana drove home in an online taxi. Cloud House is still very quiet, visible lights are still out indicating if the clouds have not returned home. Dana then goes inside and clears the lights. He put some groceries that he had bought after watching with Arin. He bought some of the Cloud's favorite fruits and foods.

Dana called her husband. He sat in the living room while waiting for his phone to be picked up.

"Kok calling ya?" dana said monologue.

Dana saw the clock hanging above.
