Last Mate

4. Critically

Tired of lying down, Arumi sat himself on the bed. He straightened his long hair a little messy. Seen from his face if today he looks bright, indicating he is fine. There was also no sign of strangeness from him. Several times he fixed his seat to make it feel comfortable. Not far from her was a nun accompanying her.

Arumi was bored waiting for her mother who never came. It was half an hour ago that he left. He laid his body again and closed his eyes, hoping to fall asleep until his mother came.

But another nurse came to the ward where Arumi stayed. He approached the nurse who had been watching Arumi. "Still with that concern." show the newly arrived nurse to Arumi.

"Yes. His mother had a message to keep an eye on."

"Ah. So. He looks so sorry."

"Srst... Later be terrorized with him, if the raging again berabe know."

"Here, the man he sleeps is also horrified. Still young but his condition is concerning."

Arumi is going to sleep, but hearing someone talk about it makes Arumi stop to sleep. He closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

"Yes, what a pity. Come to think of it he should be able to move on. Has her husband died a long time ago."

"He may be depressed because no one else wants to be with him. A young woman was a widow, and her husband died. What else many say she is indeed an unlucky bearer so if married again will automatically kill her other husband."

"Sstt.. What the hell are you talking about. Don't talk too much later the danger of knowing, can be misunderstood."

"Misunderstand how, it's a fact."

"Oh, you just go. I don't want to gossip like that anymore."

"Yes already. I also do not want to stay close to the unlucky carrier. You be careful not to get the damn crucifixion either."

The clear liquid drips slowly. He thought that what they were saying was true. He is indeed an unlucky carrier, otherwise Gilang will not experience it all. Arumi wiped her tears slowly, then woke up from sleeping with her nature.

"Suster, can you ask for help..?" ask Arumi suddenly.

The sister was a bit surprised because it was the first time she heard Arumi's voice. Because he had never spoken and thought since when he woke up. "Ah, Yes. What can I help you with..?"

"Please call my mother, she's been gone too long."

"But who will accompany you here..?"

Arumi shows her smile for the first time to someone other than her mother. "I don't need to be taken care of anymore, I'm fine."

It seems that the sister believes what Arumi said and there is no suspicion of her. "All right, I'll go to call him. You have to stay here, not go anywhere." Suater's message. Arumi nodded as her agreement.

After the nurse had actually left, Arumi got off her bed and walked out of her ward. Trudgingly he climbed the emergency stairs and headed for the rooftop.

Meanwhile...

"WHAT..!" Ningrum shrieked in shock at the statement of doctor Rafi.

"Come, Mom. We have to catch up with Dr Akhtar" Rafi said

No longer waiting for his order fried chicken, Ningrum stepped hurriedly with Rafi's doctor towards his son's ward. While in the middle of the road, a nun stopped their steps.

"I finally found you" said the nurse

"Lho Sus, aren't you taking care of my son. Why here.?" ask Ningrum

"Oh that's Mom, mom's son asked me to call mom. She said she left her for a long time."

"By yourself, Doc."

"What..? Why can you leave him alone. Let's get there."

Ningrum and doctor Rafi resumed her steps and left the nurse in a confused mind. "Lho, they're why. How come it looks so panicked." muttered the nurse who still did not know the situation.

Rooftops...

There Arumi won, shedding all her distress. His mind was in chaos and unable to think clearly. He recalled all the rumors about himself in the hospital.

"I am indeed a unlucky carrier." said Arumi Lirih.

He hit his head, his frustration filling his brain cavity. He slowly stepped towards the guardrail and stood there. Arumi again intends to end her life again. He thought that nothing could stand in his way. If she dies she can meet Gilang, her husband. Nor would it bring bad luck to his mother.

Arumi intends to jump from the 10-story hospital building. With that height, he will feel no pain. Thought Arumi. Just as his feet were about to jump suddenly a voice stopped him.

"Stop..!!"

Arumi looked over the sound. From afar he saw a man dressed as a doctor, breathing in. But he will not ignore it, Arumi turned his face and intend again to jump immediately. Again the sound stopped him.

"Stop..! I beg you to stand there and do not make any movement."

The man slowly approached when he saw Arumi listening to his orders. He stopped just 2 meters from Arumi, because he was afraid that if it was too close Arumi could jump down. He wanted to make an approach before telling Arumi to go down.

There was still no movement from Arumi, then the man stepped back slowly eroding their distance.

"Don't come closer or I jump" Arumi warned without turning away.

"Calm down, I won't get close as long as you stay quiet there. Don't be rash, let's talk about it. Let's get down from there." said the man

"Huh. What do you have to do with me. If I die all will be happy and no longer speak behind my back."

"Your mother will be sad if you die like this."

"No..! I'll be happy, 'cause no one else brought shit for him."

"Calm down, you're not the unlucky bearer for your mother."

"Huh, know what you are. I'm sick of you all, sweet talk up front."

"There's nothing like it."

"Don't interfere anymore, it's none of your business. Who are you after my life."

"Remember, I'm Akhtar and I'm a doctor. So just have the right to take care of my passions."

"Just a doctor, then why?"

Suddenly Arumi again cried loudly, making Akhtar confused. But he would take advantage of the situation to slowly approach again.

"Stop..!"
