Last Mate

5. Conscious

Shortly doctor Rafi with Ningrum and several nurses, arrived at the rooftop. Seeing Arumi standing on the outskirts above the guardrail, Ningrum let out a hysterical scream.

"Ofraetish..!!" scream Ningrum. He prepares to approach but his hand is held by Rafi's doctor.

"I have to help my son, Doc. Let me go there." said Ningrum. He tried to let go of doctor Rafi's grunts.

"Calm down, Miss Ningrum. If you go there the mother's child will jump down immediately. Let's wait a minute, I'll see there. There the doctor Akhtar is helping the mother's child, so don't bother first" Rafi said.

How helpless he made it, Ningrum just resigned and handed it to doctor Akhtar. As Dr. Rafi said. "Hurry up and tell the rescue team downstairs, immediately." Rafi's doctor ordered one of the nurses who came along.

"Good."

Meanwhile Akhtar is still trying to persuade Arumi to undo his intention to immediately get down from there. "Take it easy, come get my hand and come down" Akhtar said. He slowly stretched out his hand, hoping that Arumi would grab him immediately.

"Don't try to persuade me." cried Arumi

"Look, didn't you see your mother there? He is very sad to see you like this." said Akhtar. He pointed at the crowd not far from him.

Arumi followed the designated direction, the doctor in front of him. Yes he did see his mother among the crowd and was crying. "Mother..!" call Arumi

Hearing her son call her, made Ningrum cry even more. "Arumi, mother's son. Come on, kid, get off. Don't stand there, danger." cried Ningrum. I hope his son listens to him.

Arumi shook her head and cried. "I'm sorry Arumi, Mom. Arumi is not a good boy. Arumi is just a pesky carrier for mom. Nobody wants Arumi anymore, Mom."

"Who said..? I really want you to be next to me and remember never to say you're a fucking carrier. For your mother luck."

"No..! If I wasn't an unlucky carrier, Gilang wouldn't have died because of me Mom."

"Arumi, dear. It's not your fault, son. It's God's destiny, don't blame yourself."

"No, it's all because of Arumi. My mistake. I want to catch up with Gilang and be happy there with him. Because they said no one would want me. Only Gilang wants me."

"Honey, let's go down, son. Don't listen to everyone's words. Because it's not true. Come on, kid, get off."

"No, Ma. What they say is true, not false. No one will like me much less marry me, they are right. Only Gilang's brother would like me that's why I want to be with him. We have also promised to live together. Arumi will keep our promise."

"Enough..!" yell Akhtar.

Everyone became panicked and afraid that Arumi would suddenly collapse from hearing Akhtar's scream.

Arumi did not answer, she fell silent. "The answer's no. You will be happy if you can live your life well. He'll be sad if you die by suicide like this." Akhtar tried to stretch out his hand again and approached Arumi slowly. "Let's give your hand and come back here" Akhtar said.

"No..! Even so, it's free for me to live without Gilang's brother here. Only Gilang's sister is good with me " said Arumi as she sobbed. "You're all just liars. A liar..!" yelled Arumi again.

"Nobody lied to you. Everyone loves you. Come down." said Akhtar.

Arumi shook her head. "I can't live anymore, without Gilang's brother." said Arumi.

Akhtar for a moment seemed amazed at the loyalty, love and love that Arumi had. Risking his life to be with the people he loves.

"Can I replace Gilang and accompany him beside you? If it comes down, I'll be with you."

"No. You were just trying to persuade me to come down. You're not really serious."

Akhtar was not inexhaustible with the woman in front of him, it turned out that he was not easy to persuade let alone kelabuhi. "If I'm serious, do you want to get down from there?" Arumi was silent no longer answering.

"So that you may believe my words, come down. I will marry and accompany you together." Akhtar said without thinking.

Arumi was still silent to the doctor's statement before her. He was still confused to believe it or not with his words. From a distance Rafi's doctor felt worried, he was afraid if what Akhtar said was just an inducement to get Arumi down. If true, then it will be difficult for Arumi to trust people again.

"Doctor Akhtar, don't tell lies to my special patients. If he knew, it would be difficult for him to trust people again. He is still in the healing phase. Please just tell me the truth." Rafi's doctor said. He tried to remind Akhtar.

"You must be lying..!" yelled Arumi suddenly.

"I never lie to you with my words. If you don't believe it then come down and I'll prove it. You can hold my word. I promise." said Akhtar

Arumi again fell silent to hear the word 'promise' said by the doctor in front of him. Slowly Arumi began to calm down, but people from a distance there were still wary and panicked.

Akhtar stretched out his hand and step by step he approached Arumi. Slowly Arumi also reached out her hand and tried to reach Akhtar's hand. Arumi decides to believe the words of the doctor he does not yet know his name.

Immediately Akhtar pulled Arumi down, after their hands interlocked. Akhtar hugged Arumi tightly as did Arumi. "You promised to accompany me and be with me. Don't break your promise." said Arumi lirih in Akhtar's arms.

Akhtar nodded. "Yes, I promise." said Akhtar.

"Thank you." said Arumi. But a second later Arumi fainted, unconscious in Akhtar's arms.
