LOVE THE OLD MAN'S

THE LOVE I MISS (1)

In the morning Nayla's body was still curled up in bed hugging Ardian's shirt, her eyes were swollen from crying all night.

Nayla's eyes had been heavy since the dawn prayers, and now Nayla wants to keep her eyes closed hoping that all that happens is a dream.

"Drrtt... Drrr... Drrrttt"

Nayla's eyes opened slightly as her phone rang the call.

With her eyes half closed, Nayla grabbed her cell phone lying on the bed.

"Hallo Nayla?" call Zanna in the morning to call her.

"Yes Zan, what's wrong?" nayla said with eyes that still felt heavy.

"Hurry here Nay, Kenzo does not want to eat breakfast, from this morning the food has not been eaten at all" said Zanna who I defeated facing Kenzo who is very sensitive heart.

"I'll be there soon Zan" said Nayla quietly without a desire to see Kenzo in the hospital.

Nayla was still reluctant to leave her bed, with a troubled heart Nayla drowned her head on a pillow that usually used Ardian, really Ardian mint scent seemed still sticky on the pillow.

"I miss you, Mom, where are you now? do you feel my longing this Mas?" ask Nayla in my heart.

As Nayla recalls Ardian, Nayla spontaneously picks up her phone and calls Ardian.

This time Ardian's phone is active but none of his calls are picked up by Ardian.

With a feeling of despair, Nayla finally sent a voice note to Ardian so that Ardian could hear it.

"Mas, where are you? how are you doing now? you're okay, aren't you, Mas? Why would you leave me alone? I miss you so much, Mas, I want to hear your voice every day." Nayla told Ardian via her Voice note.

After a few minutes Nayla reopened her phone to see if the voice note had been read or not, with Nayla feeling disappointed to close the phone again when the voice note was still unread.

Nayla got up from her sleep and walked into the bathroom.

In his room Ardian sat leaning on his bed, all day his phone was deliberately turned off.

And after dawn prayers Ardian just turned on his phone. There were a lot of calls coming in and some messages from Nayla.

With a heart full of longing Ardian read the messages from Nayla one by one, all the messages sent by Nayla make Ardian's heart more longing.

Especially when he saw Nayla's message using a voice note, Ardian's heart ached, his soul felt crumpled in a hole of sadness.

"I'm sorry Nayla, I'm sorry I had to do this instead of being late, my life's been in a matter of months, I don't want to make your life end in one regret." ardian murmured that indeed his life would not be long.

His kidneys have been severely damaged, will not be able to heal just by washing the blood, but there must be a new kidney donor for Ardian.

"Den Ardian, is it time for Den Ardian to have breakfast?" said Bik Ummah with a sad feeling when he saw the sadness that emanated from Ardian's face.

"Yes Bik, just put it on the table. later I will eat it." said Ardian with a heart that no longer has the spirit to live.

"Den Ardian, why don't you go home with Non Nayla?" ask Bik Ummah in surprise.

"I've parted ways with Nayla Bik." Said Ardian lethargic with his pale face.

"Why should we split Den? isn't Den Ardian in love with Non Nayla?" ask Bik Ummah with pity.

"I can no longer make Nayla happy Bik, my life is only a few months, I don't want Nayla to suffer any more" Ardian said.

"Does Mr Sasongko know this?" ask Bik Ummah seriously.

"But Bik, my plan is later in the afternoon I will go there and tell Daddy and Mommy." Reply Ardian who does not know how the reaction of Nayla's parents later.

"Bibik can only pray, hopefully what has been determined by God in Den Ardian is the happiness of the afterlife" said Bik Ummah in earnest.

"Aamiin Bik, Bik Ummah please listen to me, I will give a message to you.if Nayla searches for me do not tell me where I am, Bik." said Ardian, sighing deeply, really a day not meeting Nayla has been very tormenting, especially if for months.

"Yes Den, but what if Non Nayla finds out and looks for Den Ardian to get here?" ask Bik Ummah who suddenly made Ardian remember something.

"Yes Bik, maybe I can stay in our old house Bik" said Ardian who previously moved to the big house, Ardian also has a simple cottage house on the edge of the Lake that is not far from his village.

"Well Den, eat the food first Den, so Den Ardian does not limp." said Bik Ummah felt anxious about Ardian's condition.

Ardian was silent, his stomach was not hungry, his appetite was gone.

"Yes Bik, later I will eat yes Bik, or the food can Bik Ummah take it home instead of redundant." said Ardian with his eyes glaring far away.

Arriving at the hospital, Nayla searches for Zanna's whereabouts and wants to invite Zanna to find Ardian.

"Zanna, could you please accompany me in search of Mr. Ardian's whereabouts?" ask Nayla who doesn't know where Ardian is.

"I'd like to, but what about Kenzo who's looking after him? and again from morning until now Kenzo has not eaten Nay, pity Kenzo." replied Zanna who did not want to leave Kenzo alone.

"Yes let me find Mas Ardian himself, you make sure Kenzo there is a meal yes Zan" said Nayla who had not met Kenzo from morning.

"See Kenzo for a minute, Nay, and tell him to eat his breakfast, I don't want Kenzo to go crazy because of you" Zanna said with disappointment, as Kenzo and Nayla did not know her deepest feelings.

Nayla fell silent then nodded her head.

"Alright Zan, I'll see it now" said Nayla, but before that Nayla saw the voice note message on Ardian, already seen or not.

Nayla's heart was relieved and disappointed when her voice notes were read but there was no reply.

But Nayla was not discouraged, when she knew the voice note read, Nayla immediately called Ardian, Nayla's biggest hope...Ardian will be willing to take his call, but hope is there is hope, his phone call is not received by Ardian.

"Nay, so don't go in? pity Kenzo's waiting for you from morning." said Zanna, who wouldn't be happy if kenzo was hurt.

"Yes Zan, I'll be right in." said Nayla with a very wounded heart and longed for an Ardian.
