Lunara's Heart

CHAPTER 18

Reyhan Abyasa or call Rey. A young man who some time ago met with Edi and Luna as well as a helper he and his mother who at that time fainted helpless in the rush of rain and all their material limitations. But Edi seemed to be revealed by God to be his savior at that time, even though the Mother was ultimately not helped, but the services of Edi will always remember.

Day – days after the mother died became the – heaviest days of her life. Life seems to be black and white. There was no beauty in his eyes, nothing he could enjoy. Empty and gray, most stupidly he had wanted to catch up with the mother only. Thank goodness there is still faith left in him to stay away from one of the great sins called suicide. Rey slowly rose up, she must realize that life is still continuing, her mother would be sad if she continues this way, Rey began to be determined to keep going and slowly – will color her life. One night he remembered Edi's message asking him to see him if he had recovered.

And here is the young man named Rey. At a private Jakarta hospital, where Edi works. He had walked into the hospital area until his steps arrived – arrived stopped in the front garden of the hospital after his eyes caught the figure of Luna who was giving a cat a drink. Rey knows, Luna is indeed often with her father here, what Rey did after that was to approach Luna

“Assalamu’alaikum” greeting which reads close to Luna position. Feeling that there was a close voice, Luna looked up and stood up. He found Rey standing smiling at him. Luna checked the neighborhood. There was no one around them other than the two of them. So greetings to him like that? Realizing this, Luna answered

“Wa’alaikumsalam. Sorry about who?” ask her with a plain face.

“I Reyhan, you forgot me? Yesterday you and your father please take my mother to the hospital during heavy rain. Remember?”

“Ohh astaghfirullah yes his son Bu Jihan, sorry yes Luna forgot. Oh yes, Luna also grieved about Bu Jihan, Luna was also sad, even though she just knew but Luna already loved Bu Jihan, too, he was very good” said Luna who began to put on a sad look considering Bu Jihan.

Rey smiles “Makasih, but Ibu InsyaAllah is already in the best place with God. I'm not sick anymore, you don't need to be sad and please do’a My mother also ya” Rey said steadfastly.

Luna nodded with a faint smile.

“By the way – says you're a cat lover huh?” Rey asked, remembering that she had seen Luna who painstakingly gave a wild cat a drink there.

“Ohh no really, just pity megeliatnya”

Reyhan only nodded in understanding.

“Oo yes, I happen to be here to see your father, he must be there right? Again work or again in his room if you may know?”

“Hmm Luna doesn't know anyway, but can only Dad now again in his room, Luna also want to go there”

They walked together to Edi's room.

Tok Tok Tok!

“Masuk”

There was a voice from inside that could be ascertained it was Edi's voice.

Reyhan turned to Luna.

“Means Dad is there, yaudah kak let's go in aja” Luna said.

“Assalamu’alaikum” Juan said as he slowly opened the door and went forward showing himself.

“Wa’alaikumsalam. Ehh Rey come please enter” Edi replied with a little surprise and enthusiasm to let Rey sit down.

Luna behind him followed.

“Iya Om accidentally met in the garden RS last” Rey replied Edi.

Edi also understood.

“How are you doing?” Ed asked after they sat down.

“Alhamdulillah well Om” Rey replied with courtesy.

“This must be heavy for you, but I know you must also strong”

“Still Om. And my arrival here because Om at that time asked me to meet Om, what was previously?” Ask Rey curiously.

“Iya, emm it I have a plan for you. Intending to finance your school, I consider this because I know you have a very good history of achievement”

Rey was shocked to the point that her tongue felt twisted and moved.

“Rey?” Gentle reprimand Edi looked at Rey who was just silent.

“Haa? I-iya om?” He stuttered a little while answering.

“You want to continue your education to college? Do you still want to be a doctor?” Ask Edi.

“Hmm actually before graduating I had taken the Om” scholarship test

“Ohh yes? Then how did it go? Are you out?” Ask Edi streak

Rey nodded slowly then lowered her head “A day before Mom died the result came out which was the contents Alhamdulillah received”

“Alhamdulillah, then the scholarship you took right?” Edi responded enthusiastically.

Rey smiled softly “Since the first time I knew if it was accepted I was not interested” Edi who initially seemed happy suddenly frowned, then Rey continued her sentence “That became my consideration when it was Mom, I felt I would not be able to if I had to leave Mom when the condition was so, she said, and after Mom died I was more disinterested because I felt my world had stopped because of Mom's departure. My spirit is gone and gone for this life” Rey added.

Edi understands. “Sad it can. Reasonable. What can not be given up, death can happen at any time and to anyone, that is the wheel of life. Is it with you that this desperate will bring your mother to life? Naw. You just let him down. Sorry if I sound lancing, but I'm sure your mother's hope and support is still here (Edi points to Rey's chest) now you just make it happen and make your mother proud”

Rey smiled, her heart was relieved and calm with Edi's wobble just now.

“Thank you Om... Thank you” Rey repeated her thanks up to 2 times, the voice and pressure she spoke clearly sounded meaningfully.

“If you can know why Om is so good to me?” Rey arrived – arrived asking so. Naturally, they are two foreigners who have not known for long but the kindness of Edi who wanted to finance his college feels a little excessive. Not that Rey doubted Edi's kindness, but it was just a question of Rey's curiosity.

“I used to have an older brother – boys, the mind – the same as me, the same as you too, so doctor. We're 5 years apart. When we just graduated High School, our parents got into an accident and died. I was still Junior High at that time. As my parents left, then at that time their responsibility was borne by my brother as the eldest son-“ Edi paused and closed. He felt a tightness in his chest recalling his difficult time back then.
