Love Haqiqi

I'm Waiting for You Here!

“Hanif, can you take your brother to Pak Abdul's house now?” Hanif nodded his head. While Buya and Umi look at each other with confused faces.

“You want to go there, son? It's night, the night wind is not good for your health. You are still weak, you have not eaten from lunch.” Melvin looked at Umi Fatimah's face while holding her hand.

“Buya and Umi don't worry. I need to be with Mr. Abdul, I will contact my friend who is in Surabaya. Hopefully he has opened the e-mail that I sent and directly contact Pak Abdul. I have to make sure of it now.” Melvin looked gently at Buya who was still looking at him with a glare.

“Can't tomorrow, son? It's already night. This time no getek boat will cross to the next village.” Buya tried to forbid Melvin to leave. Because it looks unhealthy too. His face still looked pale, with his body temperature hot.

“Can't Buy, Umi. I have thought everything, I have to quickly go back to Surabaya. My wife's family is waiting for me. I don't want to undermine the trust they have put in me,” Melvin said without the slightest hesitation. He opened the blanket that wrapped his body. Then looked at Buya and Umi with pleading gazes, so that they would allow her to leave. The clock on the wall had shown at 8 pm, but it did not discourage the slightest intention of melvin to keep going to the next village.

“Both Buya and Umi let you go. Hanif please take care of Faris!” Umi said as she looked towards Hanif who was sitting next to Buya.

“Inn Shaa Allah Hanif will keep bang Faris as much as Hanif Umi.” Hanif replied smiling as he lowered his face. He was increasingly reluctant to Melvin after knowing his identity, because the man in front of him was a person from the city whose face he often saw on television screens.

“If you come home later, stay there. Do'a Buya is always with you.” Hanif and Melvin nodded their heads while kissing Buya and Umi's hands alternately.

“Buya, Umi. We leave, Assalamu’alaikum,” Pamit Melvin whose hand is on Hanif's sidecar. Because of his limp state.

“Wa’alaikumsalam.” Umi Fatimah and Buya Hanafi stared at their departure until they disappeared behind the door.

“Wait a minute! I'm going to grab a flashlight first in the room.” Melvin nodded his head. He waited for the hanif in front of the son's cottage, while looking at the stars.

Meida, wait for me! I'll be here soon! Be aware if you want to see my face. Lirih Melvin stared at the stars scattered in the sky.

Melvin and Hanif walked towards the gate of the Pesantren, then turned southward splitting the darkness of the night with a small flashlight in their midst as a light source illuminating their long journey.

Sido Mukti village is quite quiet, only the sound of crickets is heard along the way. Community activities are limited to 7pm. Before 7 o'clock, people had entered their homes. The condition of the village is inversely proportional to 180 degrees with in very crowded city conditions.

Hanif seemed awkward walking beside Melvin. He was only silent with his left hand holding a flashlight and his right hand holding Melvin's body focused on the road that was still made of soil.

“Nif, why are you silent?” Melvin asked as he turned his head towards Hanif who was still wearing a sarong and jacket. Hanif answered melvin's question without even looking at his face.

“Gak papa Bang. I was just awkward, it turned out that my brother was really the person I had seen on television. Brother turned out to be a rich man, while I was just an ordinary country boy. I feel ashamed, if walking side by side with brother.” Honestly Hanif while lowering his face. Melvin chuckled while rubbing his head.

“What are you talking about Nif? I'm just like you. Why should you be ashamed? Are we not before God the same? A treasure is just a deposit, fame is just a bonus. Nif, don't consider me Melvin, consider me Faris. Indeed in Surabaya I can have it all, but here? Here I am just a young village who has nothing, life is just a ride. So I hope there's no difference between us.”

“Nif, Thank you for always helping me. Thank you for accompanying my trip tonight, you would rather accompany me on a long walk with a fairly strong wind than to gather with your friends at the lodge.” Melvin's heartfelt words. They continued to walk through one by one the residents' houses to the dock.

“Sama-sama Bang. Shouldn't our fellow humans help each other? I sincerely help Lillahi's brother Ta'ala.” Melvin smiled as he rubbed Hanif's head that was only as tall as his shoulder. He was amazed by the sincerity of Hanif's heart that really touched his heart.

“Cita-cita what's Nif?” Hanif also looked up by looking at the light coming from his flashlight.

“Hanif wants to be a doctor who sholeh bang, that too if there is a cost. Abang knows for himself in this village there is rarely a Doctor, because it is located in the far corner, and the distance is far from the city. 1 district there is only one Doctor, namely Doctor Aisyah only. Hanif wants to devote himself to helping the people here, the average person here dies from lack of handlers when sick. Because the location of the hospital is far away in the city, and the lack of transportation to get there. The average person dies on the way before getting treatment.

If God allows and meridhoi Hanif's intentions, Hanif wants to make the hospital here bang, in order to make it easier for people here to seek treatment, and help those who are sick to get better health care.” Hanif said with a smile. Melvin who walked beside him was amazed by his words. It turns out that behind a young Hanif village who lives away from the city, there is a lot of goodwill and sincerity for the community in his village.

“Your intentions are very noble Nif. What age are you? Your mind exceeds that of an adult .” Excited Melvin who again rubbed his head wearing a black peci that has been shabby.

“I'm new 14 years Bang, new class 2 Madrasah Tsanawiyah.” Hanif replied while continuing to hold Melvin's body which was very cold because it was exposed to the night wind.

“Nif, if brother comes home later. Will you come to Surabaya? Brother intends to send you to college. Brother wants to realize your dream of becoming a Doctor. And Inn Shaa Allah brother intends to build a Hospital here, if you have grown up later, you brother believe to take care of it. You want, Kan?” Melvin asked seriously looking at the teenager beside her who was widening her eyes.

“Abang serious? Thank you bang. Thank God, finally there are good people who want to send Hanif to become a Doctor.” Hanif vented his happiness by hugging Melvin tightly.

“But to go to Surabaya I can't bang. I still want to study at Pesantren Buya. I'm 14 years old anyway, I can't go all the way from family at home.” Hanif said as he let go of his embrace. Melvin smiled while holding both shoulders.

“Yaudah, your school fees let brother who bears yes. After you graduate High School later, contact your brother, let brother who put you directly into the best Medical Faculty. Pray for my brother to live long, so that my brother can quickly return to Surabaya, so that my brother can quickly realize your ideals to make the Hospital here.” Hanif nodded his head while raising both hands. Assuring Melvin's speech.

“Aamiin. My future wife is indeed beautiful Nif, beautiful inside out. That's why I love to die with him.” Hanif and Melvin's laughter broke the silence of the night. The silence along the way they can pass with a warm chat like a close person.

Melvin had ignored the cold night wind that hit his white skin. He ignored his hungry stomach and limp body, he too eagerly walked to the next village, to the residence of Mr. Abdul to contact Steven right hand. Because now only one goal, he had to quickly go home to Surabaya, meet the Meida extended family to marry him, and meet Mamih, papih, and his sister to ask for the blessing to marry the girl of his dreams.

At 4 am they arrived in Hanif village. They were forced to walk round the mountain and some hills, because there was not a single etch boat anchored on the pier to cross.

Tired and weak did not feel the song, which was in their minds just wanted to hurry up.

After performing the dawn prayer at the Hanif residence. The two of them immediately visited the house of Mr. Abdul who was blocked by several houses from the residence of Hani. They deliberately visited early in the morning, to be more free to talk with Mr. Abdul, because at 7 am, Mr. Abdul had to go to teach to a school that was on the village border.

Mr. Abdul's family received them well, and visited them as they were.

“Night there was a new number that contacted me. Since there is no network, the call is disconnected by itself. Bang Faris could dial that number again, who knows from the person who bang Faris sent me an e-mail yesterday. But don't call him here, 'cause there's no signal. On the hill there is usually a good signal! Bang faris has to walk a few minutes from here. Nif, help you deliver Bang Faris to the twin hills! Sorry, I can't anter, because it hasn't been morning prayers.” Mr. Abdul took out his android phone from his pajama pocket. Then give the phone to Melvin. Android phones in the village are the best phones, although in the city on average there is rarely anyone who uses it, because it has switched to iPhone phones. Melvin smiled to receive the phone, his spirit had re-assembled, even though he had not slept all night. The long journey was not in vain.

“No papa Sir. I must apologize, for disturbing the calm of the Father early in the morning. And I'm grateful, because you're willing to lend me a cell phone. Excuse me Sir. Assalamualaikum,” Pamit Melvin while standing followed by Hanif.

“Pak Guru, I take Bang Faris to the hill first yes. Assalamualaikum.” Mr. Abdul nodded his head smiling as he answered his greetings.

“Waalaikumsalam.” He also went to the bathroom for ablution.

At 5am, Hanif and Melvin were already on the twin hills. Melvin was standing with a grumble, while Hanif was sitting on the ground on the taro leaf by kneading the sheath all over his body. The atmosphere on the hill was very cold, because it was adjacent to the mountain and the beach.

“Steve wake! Don't sleep mute! It's morning!” Omel Melvin with his face down. Because Steven just received his phone call after many times on the phone.

[No work disturbs people from sleeping! It's morning, not polite!] The typical upset voice of a waking person sounded at the end there. He didn't realize the person calling him was his own boss.

“Polite, impolite. You are not polite! Want me to cut your pay!” Steven who was at the end there instantly widened his eyes. He immediately saw the number on his phone screen and matched it with the number in his e-mail.

[Oh my God, this is really Ko Melvin, Kan?] Tanya was excited steven who had been standing on his bed spring.

“Yes, I'm Melvin. That's why I called you!” Ketus Melvin with a hostile tone.

[Ko, where is Koko now? Though we have sowed flowers on Karimata Beach yesterday. We've told Koko that she's gone, why she's showing up now, after the number can't be reached, and she's gone for almost a month. I was confused where cocoa property should be inherited, where koko did not give the will again. But thank God, Koko is still alive.] Melvin flicked his lips at Steven's long scolding.

“I am now in the interior of Sulawesi. Papih alienated me to this island. I want to go home, I want to see Meida.” To the point, Melvin stared at the mountain.

[Oh my God, the interior of Sulawesi. How are we going there? It must have taken a long time. Meida's still in a coma. I swear I didn't think Meida was Jaslin. Does Koko know the truth?] Melvin closed his eyes while twitching the base of his nose hearing the clumsiness of his right hand.

[I've known it before! Today you have to take me to this village. Hire a helicopter or private jet belonging to my family to get here quickly, but do not tell me to pick me up. Buy me some of the latest phones, and please include Om Gilbert's phone contacts. Elongation forgot to bring me cash of 500jt.” Steven who was on the other end just nodded his head. Although he felt strange about his boss's request.

[Good ko. I ordered my men to rent a helicopter. Any other requests?]

“Already! I can't say much, because I borrowed this phone. I'm sending you the address now! If it's not clear, you can search on Maps. Later after you get here, you come to the Al-Muttaqin School, and look for Faris' name. I'm waiting for you there. Remember not to let Papih know all this, let me who will come directly to him.” Said Melvin. Hanif who was sitting on the ground just silent, he only listened to what Melvin said.

[Good ko. At 8 am now I try to get the helicopter to take off there. Just wait! The journey may take all day.]

“Ok! I'm waiting for you here!”
