Love at Dusk

Chapter 61: The Pain

In the car Reyhan immediately picked up Aisyah's phone which kept ringing. "Assalamualaikum Mas, where? Everything has been gathered.

"Waalaikumsalam Aisyah, Mas is still on the road raining, jammed as well. In a moment, I will try to leave the house" replied Reyhan.

"Yes, I'm careful, don't need to miss the important nyampe Mas safe here."

As the call ended, Reyhan quickly drove his car through the rain which seemed to be getting heavier. The road is quite stretchy, only a few vehicles that force keep driving through the swift rain like him.

You could say tonight was pretty unlucky for Reyhan, the car he was driving suddenly died and made some vehicles honk. "Astagfirullah, let alone this," Reyhan murmured. Inevitably Reyhan had to get out of his car, he could not just stay still hours and wait for his car to come back to life. Reyhan forced himself down from his car, the heavy rain started soaking Raihan's shirt back, he opened the hood of the car and checked it. Reyhan's back feels so wet, it's not usually Reyhan's car like this.

After almost 10 minutes, the car can start. Reyhan got back in the car, shivering coldly enough to continue his journey back. Arriving at the house he entered and Aisyah quickly picked up a towel for Reyhan. "Oh my God, why is it soaking wet?" Ask Mama to worry.

"Raihan's car broke down Ma," he replied shivering.

Reyhan circulated his gaze, everyone looking at Reyhan with surprise, worried look and also attention. A little bit of guilt in Reyhan's heart, Aisyah's family was quite good, but she was not kind to Aisyah in the least. "Udah Aisyah, now you help Reyhan change clothes, let Umi who prepared food from the kitchen," said Umi when Aisyah again wipe the towel on Reyhan's body.

Aisyah nodded quickly, leading Reyhan into the room, preparing warm clothes while waiting for Reyhan to take a bath. "This is the dress, Mas" said Aisyah. After Reyhan changed his clothes, Aisyah rubbed a small towel on Reyhan's hair. "Why not call a mechanic, Mas? Or just hang on for a second, if you're sick how."

At night, Reyhan's body shook violently, he had a fever. "Astagfirullah Mas your body is very hot," said Aisyah worried. Reyhan further tightened the blanket to surround his body. Aisha brought water and cloth. "Next time do not rain anymore, Mas" said Aisyah slowly while sticking a wet cloth on Reyhan's forehead.

That night Aisyah did not sleep, she focused on taking care of Reyhan. "Mas permission was his first job," Aisyah persuaded when she saw Reyhan coming down from the bed.

Reyhan's increasingly heavy head approved Aisyah's proposal. "Please tell papa ya Aisyah, Mas may go to work again tomorrow" Reyhan replied slowly.

Aisyah quickly nodded and took her phone to contact papa.

It has been two days Reyhan has not recovered, Reyhan was rushed to the hospital and Aisyah was always there beside Reyhan. Already Raihan's fourth day here, Reyhan's parents often offer to take turns looking after Reyhan. But Aisyah always refused, she wanted to continue to be next to Reyhan. "Aisyah find food first in the cafeteria ya Mas," said Aisyah softly.

Reyhan nodded his head slowly, now he was able to lean on the head of the bed. After Aisyah left, Reyhan glanced at her phone. An incoming message that Reyhan believes is from Rere. Reyhan sighed softly, seeing that Aisyah was sincerely taking care of herself while sick made Reyhan feel guilty every time he returned Rere's message.
