Love Does Not Until

Aris is away

The atmosphere in the room was quiet, only the beeps of the monitor were heard, the clattering of steps outside the room was unable to make the atmosphere in the room alive, he said, the sound of the door being pushed slowly was able to make a person sitting on the sofa look up,,

“denis,,” exclaimed burita as soon as he saw the man who now stepped towards him, Denis brought a neatly arranged parcel of fruits, he said,

“tante”, his sheep,denis kisses the hand of the burita and hands the parcel he holds,,

“thank you loh nak denis already bothered2”, said burita now put the parcel spelled near the bed jasmine.denis now turned, his gaze shifted on the jasmine lying with the eyes closed, the eyes closed,

“what he is still not aware also tan”,, Denis asked but his gaze attached to jasmine, burita looks to take a breath trying to strengthen his heart and then said,,

“dia is still unconscious, it has been two days” now burita can not stem her tears,bulir2 tears dripping, burlap, 

denis closed his eyes, as if gathering his strength, he stood by the bed where jasmine lay, his movements reflexively stroked the hair of jasmine which for the first time he did,”he would be good aja tan”, jasmine,then at a glance denis saw jasmine's hand move, and the jasmine's hand movements became more intense, and,

“tan,,melati,tan,,”

“dia why?”  ask burita

Worried that he was approaching so he could see clearly what was happening.

denis refers to the moving jasmine hand,”hands jasmine moves tan”

“astaga” burita strangled seneng, burita immediately pressed the button near the jasmine bed, not long after the doctor and nurse dateng kemati jasmine in a hurry,, the,,

“sorry, can you wait outside,” the doctor said,

without being told twice the burita followed behind him walked towards the door, and closed it, some time pak ardi came after his wife called, and then dio and rani followed the dateng later.10 Minutes later the doctor came out, as soon as he came out, 4 people waiting anxiously rushed at him without giving the doctor a chance to speak first,burita who was not calm in recent days immediately bombarded the doctor with questions,,

“how is my son dok”

“ea, doctor how is the state of our daughter” pak ardi also asked,

“oh,,” said the doctor smiled,”dia is conscious now, but her condition is still very weak,” even so there is relief on every face,”but don't worry” the doctor continued”,maybe he will recover soon, who is named rangga among you” asked the doctor to circulate his views, denis and dio look at each other and as soon as possible they throw away each other's views 2,

“rangga,”,celutuk rani,,”why,ada apa”

“not what2” said the doctor buru2 explained his intention to be clearer,”just so the patient opened his eyes just keep calling one name, namely rangga”

“dia temenya our daughter doctor” pak ardi tell,,

“preferably rangga meet jasmine because it seems like this rangga means for the patient” doter it suggests,,

burita stuttered, and without being told rani immediately called rangga,bu rita and pak ardi entered first to meet jasmine, while rani,dio and denis waited outside, waiting outside,the sound of footsteps makes them immediately direct their gaze simultaneously at the source of the sound, the ladder is clear as hastily came so rani called him, rani stood up,, and,,

“ga kok cepet amet lo nyampe,”,rani peeking at his watch,”10 minutes, really great lo ya.” he said praising but rangga not impressed,

“melati how,,”

“in, but om and aunt are in”

rangga then sat down near Rani who was also now sitting, long time open door mama and papa jasmine appeared with a slightly bright face,,

“rangga you have comeg” greet pak ardi so see rangga, rangga immediately stand up as soon as see they come out, mangoes just nod,,

“om tasa, let me first who discovered jasmine”, seen a sigh of disappointment from behind the shoulders of the rangga that clearly came from dio and denis, the Christian looked at dio and denis alternately,, dio and denis, and,,

“that's a good idea”

“err,,, what, it's okay tan”

“melati continues to mention the name of nak rangga once he is aware, maybe by looking at nak rangga can encourage him to quickly recover”

hearing that, Rangga could not hide his obvious sense of seneng from the hue of his face, and without saying anything rangga entered and left the envious face of Denis and dio who looked at his back until the door closed behind him,rangga saw jasmine was looking blankly at the sky of the hospital room, as soon as he heard the sound of the door creaking he immediately looked towards the door and saw a smiling rangga walking towards him, trying to smile, melati, she said,,

“hai,”sapa rangga pull up a chair and sit near the edge of the bed, 

jasmine did not blink her eyes, she moved her lips to return the greeting, but no sound came out, she clasped the hand of jasmine lying on the bed, gently stroking it,

“if you are still weak”, said rangga looking into my eyes jasmine”, you do not need to talk first”

“gu,,,e, kang,,en, lo”, jasmine whispering voice is almost inaudible but can still be captured by the rangga clearly which makes him cheer in the heart,,, the,,

split second rangga kemduian said,”gue also”

jasmine looked at him with hope,”gue also misses lo tau”, mango laughs, smears smile,”lo not know how long you have been asleep and makes everyone panic”, he said,there's guilt from the look on jasmine's face and then she shakes her head,,

“two days mel”,rangga raised two fingers as if he was talking to gagoans,”lo slept two days, everyone panicked with lo condition, and everyone misses the same lo”, he said,

“a,,pa”,,glass stammered “apa lo also panic”

“gue is afraid of mel,,gue is afraid when you call and the word loekeluarin is please, that time I want to arrive as soon as possible and nyamperin lo,,gue is worried benget,,gue thinks, que thinks, thinks, I will no longer see lo again”, the face of the rangga looking at jasmine gently reassuring jasmine, jasmine,and so rangga continued to tell the story of jasmine starting from telling her panic and people2 who love jasmine until she told me something that is not important even though jasmine sometimes said briefly by saying “ea,,masa or sometimes he shook his head and nodded in agreement, until in the end he fell asleep, and when the rangga came back out dio, denis and also rani prepared to enter, but rangga explained jasmine was resting which made dio, but rangga, rani and Denis are disappointed and intend to come the next day.

***

It has been five days jasmine stay in the hospital, but during that time also his condition has not really improved in total, the mango of course never absent to visit bring flowers or chocolate, too,with his dateng rangga make jasmine have a spirit to be healthy, while Denis also often visit and invite him to joke, joking,so did dio and rani who always came together so that one day when the middle rangga was walking towards the jasmine room he passed with pak ardi who had just come out of the jasmine room, they were based, they were satisfied,

“,mel,,,”rangga will try to talk but pak ardi first precedes him,

“rangga,” sounds authoritative voice,”apa rangga want to menemenin om drink dikafeteria hospital” tanya politely,

rangga was astonished, he wondered what caused Pak Ardi to take him to drink like usual, although astonished but finally he said he too.they chose the corner seat and ordered 2 cups of coffee, respectively,while waiting for their order to be delivered, Pak Ardi started to open a conversation,,

“ehhmmm” he tried to clear his throat, mangoes just wait until pak ardi talk first,”begini rangga,, we,”, he fell silent as if memorizing the word he would release,”apa rangga love sama melati”

rangga sempet confused by the unexpected question, but ea said with shame2”, ea om why”, immediately then pak ardi silent to rangga's confession, bad mind2 popped up in the head of the room, and,”what may om ardi tell me to stay away from jasmine, what he does not agree if I date jasmine,,, what,,”

“apa rangga bener2 love equal melati” said pak ardi stopped bad thoughts rangga that began to make no sense, he said,

“ea om” says rangga doggah,,

“begini rangga,” pak ardi now look at rangga,”we have not told rangga what actually happened the same melati”

“what is it, I mean jasmine has a disease apa”, this question is what he always wanted to ask,,

mr. Ardi drank his coffee slowly, and then he continued his cropped kata2nya,,”daughter om, melati, have brain cancer,”

rangga like being struck by lightning hearing papa jasmine's confession, he knew jasmine had a certain disease but he never thought that the disease suffered by jasmine that bad, I had his mouth locked, like locked,

“cancer, cancer”, such insects can not speak correctly,”but, can not om”

“stage end” has not lost his surprise to hear the word pak ardi just the next sentence spoken pak ardi, making it again like being struck by lightning for the second time.

“om but,,”

mr. ardi breathed out,”,mama jasmine actually forbade me to tell the real rangga because she was afraid that temen2 jasmine knew she had a terrible disease then temen2nya would stay away from her and her mother did not want her temen2nya stay away from melati” said pak ardi, who was not a child,

rangga was confused but did not say what2, Prangga just did not end up thinking why can2nya mama jasmine think like that is what kind of person,,, what kind of person,,

“but om, why new now,”

“we also just found out before we moved here, actually we moved on the grounds to find peace for jasmine

“but there is still hope, jasmine can still be created, and, after that jasmine can be cured”

“om is also thinking that, but,,”pak ardi now sits unsettled, “doctor said not necessarily jasmine can be healed completely, but, the risk is also quite large considering the brain cancer suffered by children who have reached the final stage”

rangga who sat upright stunned his chair could not imagine if jasmine digggalannya,”jadi,”kata rangga after being able to digest what pak ardi “so the possibility of jasmine could have died in operation”

“what can I do om, whatever I will do for jasmine”

“please don't go away from him, I know princess om likes rangga so, stay beside him entertain him,”

***

Rangga opened the door of the room where jasmine was treated, he found denis who was chatting with jasmine, they laughed and stopped when they saw rangga enter, he said,if under normal circumstances maybe rangga will punch denis but rangga aware that jasmine and denis close friends, they have been friends for a long time, even though rangga realizes denis seems to have a taste for jasmine, jasmine,as soon as he saw the rangga a jasmine smile greeted him and clearly jasmine eyes sparkled to see him,,

“ga,,”sapanya,,

“hai,,mel,hai den” responded to Denis, who somehow for the first time also smiled, saying,then Denis stood quite close to the rangga and whispered right in the ear rangga “gue want to talk with lo both”, he looked at her in wonder, watching them both suspiciously, looking at them,

“why do you guys whisk2” asked with a raucous voice,”you again talk about me yah”, rangga and denis look at it almost simultaneously,

“ea, we talk about you who remain beautiful even though still lying sick for a few days”, Denis teasing her,,

“ih whatan sieh lo,kainaan lo ngegombal mulu” jasmine waved her hand with a blushing face, but jasmine did not believe just what denis said.

“meet me in front of hospital cafe” denis murmur that can only be heard by rangga,rangga does not include ea or not,,

“mel me back okay”

jasmine gurgles,

“gue will come back tomorrow”

after denis disappeared from behind the door of the rangga approaching the jasmine who was now trying to sit down, rangga helped him,”makasih ga”, melati reached out to the glass near his bed but rangga first grabbed him and immediately handed him over,

“lo felt better” tanya with uncertain considering his conversation with papa jasmine, considering it makes his stomach nauseous, how can papa jasmine ask him not to raise jasmine, because of the,without any interest he will not leave jasmine until anytime, no matter what happens,,

“ga,,ga” jasmine pinched rangga's hand

“gue can't wait”, then rangga without warning kissed jasmine forehead, immediately the atmosphere became silent, melati misbehavior, while the gang also became nervous because he unconsciously kissed jasmine forehead he just reflexed,the atmosphere became awkward but fortunately the awkwardness created was broken by the noise from the outside made them look at the door and quickly open the door, turned out to be a dozen of them classmate temen2 who came, including udin and marko and there are rani and dio who are also pushing each other at the door, it is undeniable that jasmine spirit arises to see his temen2, he claps his mouth with his two hands, and,,their classmate Rara put a parcel of fruit2an on the table near the jasmine bed.

“tease,,lo sieh was laughing ngak ”,,rani ngomel while pulling a blanket jasmine to cover the body jasmine,,

“thank you yah”, looking at them one by one,,”lo all dateng cool me, and always nemenin me”,rani hugging jasmine lying,, jasmine,,
