Love for Zahra (END)

34. Fainted

After the return of his two friends, Zahra stayed in his room again. He lamented again his miserable fate.

The girl cried in silence, occasionally rubbing her face and body harshly as she recalled how Bian had treated her. The girl felt very dirty and despicable.

Only crying and crying could he do. He didn't feel like he was sleeping in his tears.

That afternoon, Rio came to pay a visit to Zahra's house. He wanted to see his cousin's brother. From the workshop he immediately planted the gas into Zahra's house.

"Assalamualaikum," he said as soon as he entered the large enough house.

"Waalaikumsalam," replied Aunt Ratih from inside the living room. He immediately rushed up and met Rio.

"Sir Zahra what's the situation, Tan?" rio asked after greeting the tant.

"From the morning he didn't want to leave the room, Le. Niena same Dea just got home."

"Sir Zahra is in his room, Tan?"

"Yes, try taking him out. Don't remember yesterday."

"Yes, Tan."

Rio rushed towards Zahra's room. He knocked on the door slowly. For a long time there was no answer.

There was a sense of worry that infiltrated Rio's heart. He was a little louder knocking on that door. But still the same. There's no answer.

In his room, Zahra lay on his bed. His face looked pale, probably because he was lacking in food and fluids. Recalling several days during the kidnapping until now he rarely eats or drinks.

Rio again approached Aunt Ratih who was in the living room.

"Tan, Miss Zahra, didn't answer my call, did you?" ask Rio.

"Then anyway? Aunty knocked on the door she still answered even though she did not want to open the door. Let's unlock it from the outside, Auntie take the spare key first," Aunt Ratih began to worry about her son's condition. He immediately went to his room and took the spare key.

The two men rushed towards Zahra's room again. Rio put the key into his hole. Unfortunately, the door could not open. Because inside also installed a key.

"Dobrak aja no papa," said Aunt Ratih who was very anxious.

Rio took a swing to break down that door.as powerful as he might hit that door with his body. Until the fourth experiment, the door was opened.

Aunt Ratih hurriedly entered and approached Zahra. He was very surprised to see the condition of Zahra who was very pale and unconscious.

"Mother, Ra. Wake up, son." Aunt Ratih rubbed Zahra's cheeks lovingly. There was no response from the girl.

"We're taking her to the hospital now, Tan" Rio said.

The crying Auntie Ratih could only nod her head. Rio immediately raised his helpless cousin sister's body.

"Tante, please lock Zahra's car, I'm here with the bike" Rio said before exiting the room.

Aunt Ratih nodded and followed Rio out of the room. He took the car keys that were in the middle room drawer. Aunt Ratih opened the back door so Rio could put Zahra there.

Aunt Ratih entered from the other door, she positioned herself to hold Zahra's head. Rio hurriedly boarded the car and charged the gas towards the nearest hospital.

The traffic jam made him impatient, making him repeatedly hit the car horn. He wanted to get to the hospital soon. Until almost thirty minutes later he arrived in front of IGD RSPN Malang city.

Zahra was immediately rushed into the IGD to get help. Aunty Ratih and Rio could only wait in front of the IGD. Looking forward to the news from the doctor about Zahra's condition.

Rio crouched down and leaned against the wall behind him. Implied face worried for his cousin sister. Aunty Ratih sat in a waiting chair and was unceasingly crying. In her tears she prayed for the child.

"Family patient?" said the nurse who just came out of the IGD room.

"I'm her mother, Sus. How's my son?" ask Ratih's mother.

"Please come in, Mother," the nurse invited Mrs Ratih in.

"Good day, Mother. You're a patient's family?" greet the doctor is friendly.

"Yes, Doc. I am the patient's mother on behalf of Azzahra Kirana. How's my son doing, Doc?" ask Aunt Ratih.

"Mother's son is dehydrated and seems to be thinking a lot, so his stomach acid is increasing. You have to rest here for two or three days until you recover" the doctor said.

"Thank God, good Doc. I have whatever the doctor says. What matters is that my son is healthy again. Do my best for my son" said Aunty Ratih.

"Please take care of the administration first, after that we take Miss Zahra to the inpatient room" the young doctor said.

"Come, Mom. I delivered," said the nurse who had been beside the doctor.

Aunty Ratih accompanied the nurse out of the IGD to take care of administration. Outside the room Rio was anxiously waiting for the exit of the tantenya. As soon as the tantenya came out he immediately approached and asked Zahra's situation.

"Zahra is dehydrated and his stomach acid is rising" replied Aunt Ratih.

"May I look at it?" ask Rio.

"Please, sir," replied the nurse.

Rio immediately entered and found Zahra lying weakly with an infusion hose on his left hand and a doctor standing beside him.

"Zahra, you're so different from when we were kids" the doctor said.

Rio stopped, waiting for the continuation of the man to speak. He was amazed by the doctor's attitude.

"What if you realize you'll recognize me?" said the man again.

"Ehem," Rio cleared a little hard to distract that person.

"Who are you?" rio asked directly.

The man turned around and looked at Rio. Observe and remember the man.

"Are you Ega or Rio?" ask the doctor.

"You know me? Zahra too?" rio asked curiously.

"Yes. I was Zahra's classmate at Junior High, Arga," the doctor introduced himself.

Rio silently remembered his friend named Arga. Until imagined the figure of a fat boy with thick glasses wearing a SMP uniform in his shoulder.

"Seriously you're Arga?" rio asked to make sure.

"Yes. I'm Agra. Fat and geeky guy when Junior High first," replied the man.

"Don't change your appearance! Ah, forget that. How is Zahra doing," Rio asked ignoring the fact about his old friend.

"It looks like he's very depressed and has a lot of thoughts, Am I right?" ask Dr. Arga.

"Hem."

"He's dehydrated and his stomach acid is rising. Most likely he's late for a meal and a lot of thought."

"Yes." Yeah."

"I'll take good care of him. You recall? He was the only friend who never bothered me. Only he has always been kind to me" Doctor Arga said looking at Zahra attentively.

"Enlighten the feelings that are in your heart. She will soon be married to Ega," Rio recalled. He knew what kind of look Arga had in his eyes.

Arga only smiled at the glance looking at Rio. He tidied up his white coat, and left Rio just like that.
