KIRANA (She Is She Too)

The Eps 70

"Where are you, actually, money from, Je?"

Dari and Gajendra were sitting in the hospital garden. Farhan and Bilal went home because it was late afternoon and Adnan must have been home alone. And after eating, Ms. Mae immediately rested. Gajendra and Tari left the room because they did not want to disturb Bu Mae's break time.

"You didn't answer, Gaje!"

"mm?" Gajendra. "What do you ask, Tar?"

"Where did you get the money?" tanya Jengah dance.

"Oh, my stash money. Mm ... these few years," replied Gajendra.

"So why did you sacrifice your savings to help my family?" ask Dance again.

"I love your family, I love you more!"

"Ish, it's not so obvious." Dance hit Gajendra's shoulder slowly.

Gajendra complained of pain. But, he smiled. He only pretended to be sick so that the girl was satisfied that she had hurt him.

"And I am clear, Kirana Dwi Lestari! Obviously love and affection are with you, but you're the one who never wants to make everything clear."

"Ish, there is no story of friends so love. You don't have to make it up!"

"There's story. Ntar we make," said Gajendra while pinching the wrath of Tari's nose.

"Oh, sick!" pekik Dance.

"If you don't want to be sick, it means you want a good dong."

"What the fuck do you mean?"

"Here I kiss, if kissed it does not hurt," explained the man who then brought his face closer to Dance.

"Bo*do is just like you, Je!" Dari managed to dodge and left Gajendra who was still laughing because he managed to work on it.

"The one selling the house is not the one we're looking for, sir," explained someone assigned to search for information.

"Then who?"

"I've contacted the person and the one who answered is an adult male" he explained.

The man who is often called 'Master' seems to think. No adult male is part of the family he is looking for. Who is that guy? Ah, he forgot. It's been six years. The kids could have grown up.

"Say we'll buy that house. Ask him to meet us."

"Good, Sir."

Days pass. The awaited time has arrived. The time at which Ms. Mae will undergo surgical removal of cancer cells in her stomach. A few minutes ago, Ms. Mae and the medics entered the operating room. After the door closed, the red light above the operating room door was immediately lit. Indicates that the operation is going on in there. Farhan, Bilal, Tari and Gajendra waited tensely outside the room.

Dari had been pacing indistinctly in front of her sisters, making Farhan was caught off guard.

"Sister didn't make any sound from earlier. Why did you ask brother diem?" Dance berkilah.

"Dad." Bilal let out a rough breath. He did not want to bother with his sister's behavior. Let Farhan and Dance argue as they please.

Farhan was silent again. He chose to sit next to Bilal and Gajendra. Despite frequent arguments, anxiety was clearly visible on their faces. Sometimes, their prayers are said for the smooth operation process in there. May God grant their prayers.

"Tar, sit here!" Gajendra patted the bench next to him. "Call yourself! I'll be fine after this."

The girl complies. He immediately sat down next to Gajendra, but his calmness was short. Now Tari moves one of her legs to the right and to the left as a form of expressing her anxiety. Gajendra who saw the state of Dance immediately pulled the hand of Dance and grasped it. Funneling positive energy so that the girl becomes calm.

It worked! Although he was pulled, Gajendra still held the fingers of Tari until the girl became calm. The man patted the hand he held gently with a smile. While Tari, at first he did not want Gajendra to do so especially in front of his sisters. However, somehow, Gajendra's hand grip made him a little calm and gradually dispel the worry until finally he let his fingers remain in the grasp of his best friend.

For about an hour and a half they waited in front of the operating room. Although it looks calm, Bilal more often see a red light that lights up above the door. He hopes the lights will soon turn off or change color. That's a sign the operation is over.

Suddenly Bilal stood up. His eyes continued to stare at the lights above the door. The people around him were shocked by what Bilal was doing. They set their eyes on the operating room door. The red light is dead. Everyone immediately smiled gratefully.

"Finally ...." The powerless dance restrained her happiness until she unconsciously embraced Gajendra.

The one who was hugged was just smiling and returning the embrace of Dance. Aji said that people say. Mumpung Tari was not aware of what he was doing. Take advantage of the opportunity a little, is it okay?

The door is open. One of the doctors who treated Ms. Mae came out.

"How, Doc?" bilal asked as he approached the doctor.

"The operation went well" the doctor replied briefly.

Everyone who was there gave thanks. Unstoppable happiness is felt by Tari and her sisters. A moment later, a gurney was being pushed out of the operating room. Ms. Mae lay on top of him with a blanket up to the end of her neck and was still unconscious.

After saying many thanks, Tari and the family immediately followed where the gurney was pushed. Not the room that Bu Mae had been in yesterday, but another room that served as a postoperative cancer patient's ward. As long as the mother is healed, they will obey what the hospital does.

"Thankfully, we've removed the cancer cells in the patient's stomach. After this I advise patients to undergo chemotherapy so that cancer cells in the patient's body completely disappear" said the doctor when they were in the care room Bu Mae.

Dance nodded listening to the explanation from the doctor. This time he strongly believes his mother will recover quickly. Whatever he's going to do to get Mae's health back. Yes, although he knows the cost of treatment in the future must be much more expensive.

****

A few days after surgery, Bu Mae's condition improved. He also wants to undergo chemotherapy so that the disease in his body disappears. The spirit to recover was always burning in his heart. There are children who are loved and will never leave.

Today, Tari found Paklik at her house. A few minutes ago, he told me that there were people who wanted to buy the house and the land he sold. Dance had not expected that it would be this fast to get a buyer. Because, said Paklik yesterday, selling land is not like selling rice.

"Lucky we can get a buyer who is not neko-neko, Tar. He immediately agreed to the price we gave, but ...." Shut up for a moment.

"But what, Paklik?" tanya Dance curious.

"He asked to see each other to see the location and all to take care of the name back," explained paklik.

"The problem is its location far outside the city, Tar. There is no time either. You know for yourself, follow people!"

Silent dance. He doesn't know what to say. Right said paklik, uncle from Gajendra was unlikely to be able to meet a buyer. Given its location which is very far from its present city. It takes at least ten to twelve hours by public bus. That means the possibility of staying there because it must be very tiring.

After deciding, finally Dance who will go to meet the buyer. It was also with various considerations, considering the dark past that until now he could not forget. However, for Bu Mae's sake, he had to go back there. Not too long, maybe only two at most.
