Love in the Waiting

Love in the Waiting
Siuman Vino



Asyila woke up at 3 am, she saw Vino who was still loyal to close her eyes while Erlan was focused in her dream.


"Still at 3 o'clock, I should pray tahajud first" Asyila said


He walked towards the bathroom and immediately took some ablution water. He wears a face that he deliberately prepares when going to the hospital. Asyila performed her worship solemnly.


O Allah, I beg you to heal Vino, and make him open his eyes, O Allah, I love him dearly, O Lord, please protect those who are dear to you. Pray for the servant of Allah, Prayers of Asyila, and raise his hand.


Without Asyila realizing Erlan had already noticed him as she moved from the chair towards the bathroom. But Erlan did not budge, he wanted to know what Asyila would do this night.


Can God be selfish ? may I have that woman to be my Surga Angel and the Mother to Vino. Inner Erlan


Morning is approaching, even the moon has been replaced by the Sun who is ready to accompany humanity to do its activities. But unlike Ashila who is now sitting sweetly beside the bed Vino. He faithfully accompanied his son, he held Vino's hand tightly not to forget also occasionally kissed.


"Syil, I made tea." said Erlan while offering Asyila a cup of tea.


"Thank you" said Syila with a smile


"You want to go to the office, please Syil, let Vino I take care." Erlan said


"Engga mas, I've told Papa if as long as Vino has not recovered I will not go to the Office first" said Syila


"Then your job ?"ask Erlan


"Just be calm there is a Mr. Tomi who can handle." said Asyila.


Suddenly Asyila saw Vino's finger move, she was surprised to even peck at what she saw just now. Until after that..


"Mother-Mother."leirih Vino who gradually opened his eyes.


"Darling mother, son, you're awake ?" ask Asyila


Vino just smiled, then his gaze turned to the left side, there was Erlan who was also waiting for him.


"Pa-Papa.."he said again


"It's Papa son, Papa kangen is the same hero of this Papa" Erlan said approaching Vino and then kissed his son's cheek.


"Mas let me call the Doctor first" said Asyila who was replied by a nod by Erlan.


Before long the doctor came and immediately examined Vino.


"The condition is stable sir, just waiting for his recovery. Excuse me" said the doctor


"Thank you Doc" Erlan and Asyila said together.


"Mother.."Call Vino.


"Yes, baby ? Vino needs something ?"ask Asyila as she approached Vino


"Ha-haus Mommy."he said still stammered


"Awhile you get it" Asyila said as she took a glass of water for Vino.


"Mother help yes son." he said again while helping Vino to drink.


"Mother.."relih Vino.


"Why else, dear ?"said gentle Asyila


"Vino wants to be embraced by Mother"he asked.


"Well according to your wishes dear." said Asyila as she hugged Vino


"Mother can promise Vino something ?"ask Vino


"What promise, dear?"ask Ashila a little wonder


"Mother won't leave Vino" she said tightly hugging Asyila's waist.


"Vino wants Mommy to be a Vino mama ?" the question is so innocent


Asyila was shocked, her tongue was a bit faint when Vino asked her to be a mother.


"Hmm actually Mommy.." she said stuck.


"Vino you can't force Mommy rich that way." Erlan said


"I'll think of Vino mas's request"timpal Asyila


Now the two of them were sitting in the hospital garden, both of them staring straight ahead. There were no talks with each other, both of them confused by Vino's request.


"Syil.."Call Erlan.


"Hmm?"sahut Ashila who was still looking ahead


"Are you sure ?"ambiguous question


"Syil I know you must have objected to the request, I know because." Erlan said


"Had I seen in the future what it would be like, now all I think about is the recovery of Vino" he said as he stood up and left Erlan.


I can see Syil if you've forgotten about our promise, even my name seems to have been replaced by the man you were with the other day. Inner Erlan


It hurts a lot when you doubt my beliefs, I can see there is no more love and my name in your heart, you must have linked your name to that woman named Melanie. I'm even more sure if the promise you give is just a sweet promise. Asyila's mind that occasionally wiped away her tears.


In the room Vino already has Papa Herman, Shindy's mom, Melanie and of course Vino. Asyila who had just arrived after returning from the park was warmly welcomed by Shindy's mother.


"Crazy son, where are you ?"ask Shindy's mom


"Asyila was sitting in the aunt's garden, looking for some fresh air" she said kindly


"Pa. This is Asyila the woman you told me about last night, she who has returned Vino in our center2, with strong confidence she speaks as if Vino should be strong and come back. Even he was the one who had willingly donated his blood to Vino" Shindy's mother explained


"Thank you Syil for saving my grandson Om's life, we owe you a debt of gratitude" Papa Herman said


"No Om, Vino is like Asyila's son" he said kindly


"Eh lo not the girl who was in the Mall yesterday huh ?"ketus Melanie


"Hmm right mbak, we met yesterday at the City Mall" he said kindly


"Oh yes Syil, this is Melanie. She.." said Shindy's mom stuck


"The future wife of Erlan and the future mother continued Vino."he said arrogantly and then extended his hand to Asyila


"Greetings yes mbak"he replied so kindly.


Soon the ringtone of Ashila sounded indicating there was an incoming call


Mama ? Inner Asyila


"Tante, Om, Mel I'll take a call first" he said as he left Vino's room


Assalamu'alaikum Mother's..


Walaikumsalam dear, are you still in the hospital ?


Yes Ma, what's up ?


Look son, your sister called my mom, she arrived at the airport about 15 minutes ago.


What ? Brother Arkan has returned to Indonesia Ma ?


Yes son, it seems like his return was not planned. Couldn't you pick up your brother ?


But last night Syila didn't bring Ma's car


Tell you what, son, let Mang Ujang pick you up at the hospital after that you go straight to the airport. How ?


Yaudah Ma, if that is Asyila wait for Mang Ujang dateng yes.


All right son, mama will call Mang Ujang yes. Mama closed first, baby. Assalamu'alaikum


Yes Ma Walaikumsalam


Tut


Phone disconnected. Asyila returned to Vino's room intending to say goodbye for a while.


"Tante, um this looks like Asyila has to wait a minute. Coincidentally, my mother told me there was a sudden business and Syila had to deal with it. Is that okay ?"ask Asyila a little bad.


"Go, son, it's okay if you calm down, Vino will take care of a lot." said Shindy's mom was friendly


"Asyila will be back in the afternoon or tomorrow morning aunt. If so Asyila pamit ya."seraya greet mama and papa Erlan


"Well son, does it need to be delivered ? if you need to let Erlan take you."bid papa Erlan


"No need Om, it just so happens that our family driver is on his way to pick up Syila." declined Syila subtly.


"Well, be careful, son"


Asyila left Vino's room with a heavy heart, while saying goodbye, Vino was sleeping very fast so he could not say goodbye to Vino. While in the corridor he accidentally passed Erlan


"Syil, you're in such a hurry to go"


"Look, I have a sudden affair and have to meet someone at this time, he's been waiting for me and I feel bad if I don't come to see him." explained Asyila


"Well, as soon as I deliver" Erlan said


"Hmm no need mas, I've picked up the driver.it seems he has arrived in front.I leave yes Assalamu'alaikum"pamit Asyila in a hurry


Where is syila going ? He said he was meeting someone ? Does he want to see that guy ? Ah already why did I bother to take care of his affairs.Batin Erlan.
