Love for Zahra (END)

87. Look at Keyla

They reached the hospital where Keyla was treated in the middle of the night. Because it was impossible for them to visit right then and there, they decided to rest in search of lodging close to the hospital.

Papa Adnan booked two rooms for the four of them. Number one facility at the hotel. Zahra is one room with Uti Salma while, Ega is one room with for her papa.

"Have a good rest" Papa Adnan told them all before entering the adjoining room.

Papa Adnan entered the room followed by Ega behind him. The man said goodbye to using the bathroom first.

After he finished cleaning himself, he immediately occupied a comfortable bed like in his home. Replacing Papa Adnan who uses the bathroom.

"Not slept?" asked Papa Adnan when he found his son still holding a cell phone on the bed.

"In a moment, Pa," answered Ega without turning her eyes away from the flat object she was holding.

"Ga."

"Hm?"

"How's Zahra?"

"I mean Papa?" tanya Ega shifted her eyes from the mobile phone.

"From the chatter in the car earlier, it looks like she's still not ready to get married. Is Papa right?"

"Yes. There was still doubt in his heart. I also feel like there's a bulkhead I can't get through."

"Try if you love him. And don't forget to introduce her to your mom and sister. Since you've been with him you haven't had time to meet them, have you?"

"Yes, Pa."

"Who knows afterwards he can accept you wholeheartedly."

"Yes, papa rest first. Looks like tomorrow after the hospital we have to get back."

"It seems like I'd like to stay with Keyla longer."

"Can we talk tomorrow. Let's go to sleep."

In the early morning Uti Salma was impatient to see her grandson. Although he had received news that Keyla was aware and in his recovery period he was not relieved if he did not see his own situation.

"We have breakfast first, Uti," Zahra asked.

"Papa Adnan and Ega are waiting ahead" he continued.

"We'll have breakfast later after seeing my granddaughter" Uti Salma suggested.

Zahra smiled in response. He took Uti Salma's arm and led her out. In front of the door of the room beside them stood two men waiting for them.

"Just go to the hospital, come on now" asked Uti Salma.

"Breakfast first, ma'am," replied Papa Adnan.

"Later. I'd like to see my grandson soon."

"The clock hasn't opened yet, ma'am. Let's wait for breakfast."

Papa Adnan took his mother to the elevator. Behind him, Zahra and Ega walked in silence. Ega continued his silent actions.

"Still angry?" asked Zahra to dare to hold Ega's arm.

The man took off Zahra's hand. The girl stopped her steps. The look on his face was surprised by Ega's treatment.

The man's smile was clearly on his lips. He immediately grabbed Zahra's shoulder. Invite him to continue his path after his father and grandmother.

"I don't like to see you approached by other men. Don't ever have another relationship with a man other than me and Rio."

"Possessive," replied Zahra.

"I'm traumatized to lose you. The image of you being kidnapped is still stuck in my brain" whispered Ega lowering her head.

They arrived at the hotel restaurant and immediately looked for a comfortable seat. One of the waiters approached them with a menu book.

When the food came they stopped the chat and started eating breakfast. About half an hour later they finished their breakfast.

After completing the payment, Ega and the others rushed to go to the hospital where Keyla was being treated. They took about fifteen minutes to get to the hospital.

Papa Adnan who happened to drive a car at that time immediately parked his car into the available parking area. Everyone got out of the car as soon as Papa Adnan finished parking neatly.

"Dim, I'm in the parking lot" said Papa Adnan contact his sister who is none other than Dimas, the father of Keyla.

"Yes I'll just wait in the lobby of the hospital yard. Near the main door" continued Papa Adnan.

"We just wait here Dimas yes," said Papa Adnan more to the mother.

They waited for about five minutes for the figure of the youngest child Uti Salma to be seen coming out of the hospital's main door. Papa Adnan waved his hand for his sister to see him.

"Mother" said Dimas to his mother.

"You're a mess, son. How's your wife and son doing?" ask Uti Salma.

"Thank God Keyla has made a lot of progress, ma'am. Comein. He must be glad you guys came" replied Dimas.

They followed the instructions from Keyla's father through the hospital hallways. Then go to the elevator at the end of the hallway to get to Keyla's place in the care. When he arrived at Keyla's ward, Uti Salma immediately entered it.

"Assalamualaikum" said Zahra representing everything when entering the room.

"Waalaikumsalam," answered Keyla and her mother in unison.

"Mother" greeted Dimas' wife with Uti Salma.

Uti Salma hugged her son-in-law. And apologise for coming today. After that he approached Keyla who was sitting leaning on the head of the bed.

"How is Uti's grandson? The spirit to heal, dear. Later if healed follow Uti to Malang yes," said Uti Salma fondle Keyla's head.

"Yes, Grandma. Dedek wants to heal. Want to walk again," Keyla replied wistfully.

"You'll get well again, honey. Uti always prays for your healing. Look, your brother's coming here too."

Zahra approached and stood beside Uti Salma. He clasped Keyla's hand and gave spirit through his hand.

"May we recover. Brother wait for us to play together again" said Zahra.

"Hey, hey, no mellow-mellow yeah. We're here to see you, little cousin. Not to cry together," said Ega disperse the slightly sad atmosphere.

"Chealing hunt. I guess you often meet the same soft here," chirped Ega.

"Ih. Even say what the hell you are," Zahra said.

Uti Salma said goodbye to join the parents who were sitting on a pedestal that was deliberately held on the floor to break Keyla's parents.

"Yes, I was often visited by them" said Keyla.

"Don't mind them if it bothers you. Focus on healing" Zahra said, patting Keyla on the shoulder.

"Have there ever been such a thing?" ask Ega curiously.

"There was. If you want to know the story Brother read my story in the novel author Lina Agustin, Am I Different? She's the one who wrote the story of me meeting ghosts while I was in the hospital" Keyla said.

"Yes. I-i know. I always read anyway. The novel is on the list of favo author kiki rizki. Sometimes I just read his list of favorites" said Zahra.

"A lot of the list of our author's favorites is yes, dear," said Ega.

"A lot of uncountable. Unfortunately, our authors are busy in the real world. So I'm the same Ega is rarely seen with him" Zahra lamented.

"We just pray for world affairs in fact author aunty kiki rizki soon finished. And I'm healing fast, too" Keyla said.

"Aamiinu. The fans of our story are waiting for us but the same author kiki rizki is not continued" said Ega.

The three of them engaged in chatter gossiping their respective authors. And switch to other chats.
