My Bow to the Destiny of Love

My Bow to the Destiny of Love
Ardian is sick



"Body Sister has a fever.." Chayra felt her husband's forehead that afternoon. "How can we go home if Brother's condition is this?"


"I'm doing fine. I'm just a little dizzy."


"Well what does Brother mean? Brother's body shivered like this. This morning was fine. Instead I can use me to put his sister to bed again."


"Maybe the sister wants more so the gini fever." He said while holding a smile.


Chayra poked her lips. "His sister can't stand if this is the case, brother. Strangely this is a person."


"My back is in pain. Maybe this is what's causing my head to turn around."


Chayra knitted her brows. "The back of the former operation?"


Ardian nodded weakly. "Yes.kasa kayak pierced. The pain's running to my head."


"We'll go to the doctor then. It's postponed tomorrow if you're cured." Rubbing her husband's head gently.


"You're paying too much attention, Chay. Sick as I'm used to dealing with. Just rest more. Must have gone away on her own."


"It can't be like that, brother. I've said it repeatedly to my brother. Don't equate your own time with the present."


"I'm sorry." Pulling his wife's hand and kissing her softly. Hugged the hand tightly so as not to be let off. "You shouldn't be acting like this to me. I'm so mean to you, Chay.." said as he closed his eyes. This dizzy really tormented him.


"When is the bad brother the same as me? Ardian is always good. Good to give up on me. Want to face Abah too, even though Abah is indifferent."


Ardian looked at his wife's face. "I took away your dream." Speak with a flat expression.


Chayra immediately let out a rough breath. "Don't talk about that again. I'm afraid my mood will break."


"I'm sorry.."


"It was forgiven long ago. If I'm still angry, I won't care about Ardian."


"Hmmm ..."


"Later on our Maghrib to the Doctor. I'll say the same to you first." Pulling his hand from Ardian's embrace.


"No need. I'll heal myself later."


"Ssttt. It's also a person who says so." Chayra left the room. No matter the rejection of her husband.


Ardian closed his eyes again after his wife passed. "It turns out this is how it feels if anyone cares. Dizziness a little. What if the pain is more serious." Mumbled himself.


Chayra found her mother packing. The plan, this afternoon finished performing the Ashar prayer, they will go home.


"What's up, son?" Santi's mom was busy arranging her little suitcase.


Chayra sat on the side of the bed. "Sir Ardian is sick, Mom."


"Well, what's the pain?"


"Her body was feverish to shivering, ma'am. But, he insisted on not being taken to the Doctor."


Miss Santi breathed a heavy sigh. "Let your Abah face him later. He wouldn't dare argue that your Abah intervened."


"Ayra doesn't want to talk to Abah. Bring it to someone." Singing lips.


"Can't say that, son. After all, he behaved like that because he cares about you. He does not want you to suffer. That's why she's trying to be strict with your husband."


Chayra was silent to her mother's explanation.


"Mother wants to see your Abah first then. Just tell your husband to be ready. Let when Abah you come, there's nothing to prepare anymore."


After establishing the Ashar prayer. Mr. Ismail immediately launched to take Ardian to the doctor of his family's trust.


Ardian could only grimace when Mr. Ismail's nagging like pricking his eardrum. Repeatedly took a deep breath so that he could calmly face everything.


"You heard the doctor say. Frequent dizziness without a definite cause can be one sign of a serious illness."


"Yes, Abah."


"Have you never seen a doctor before?"


Ardian. "I always hold it in if I'm sick. I was often left alone at home. Who will take me to the doctor. Papi and Mami are mostly overseas."


"Why is that?" Mr. Ismail glanced at Ardian who was sitting next to him. Refocus driving because the one asked did not dare to lift his face. "Gear the other person, son. You seem like a coward if you act like this."


The deg..!


Ardian gasped at Mr. Ismail's words. Blessing his face while looking at Mr. Ismail.


"Well, it looks better like this." Say Mr. Ismail again. "Since when did your parents live abroad?" Continuing question.


"Since I was eight years old. They've been back and forth a lot. Sometimes I go home once a month or two to see how I'm doing."


"I. I live with the waiter, Abah."


Mr. Ismail was surprised to hear Ardian's confession. "Your parents can't let you live with a servant at your age who desperately needs the attention of parents?"


Ardian nodded. Actually, he felt uncomfortable with Mr. Ismail's question. However, he had to answer that question, so that Mr. Ismail would not be angry with him anymore.


"Keep for your school, njai you, who takes care of it?"


"I was just in school, Abah. To teach me, I never did. I want to be like my friends who live in a complex with me. Every afternoon after the Ashar prayer, they go to teach. But, Mami's always mad that I want to follow my friends."


Mr. Ismail breathed a heavy sigh. "So, you grew up to be that little boy all because of your parents, huh?"


"I can't blame them for all this bad. I grew up to be like this because I'm not that good at hanging out." Ardian finally told Ismail everything.


"I'm sorry Abah was being rude to you." Mr. Ismail patted slowly Ardian's shoulder while throwing a rough breath.


Ardian looked at Mr. Ismail in wonder. Just now Mr. Ismail said sniffle to her. Suddenly, now his voice weakened like a guilty person after hearing his story.


"You need religious upbringing starting from the basics. Let Zidane come with you later. He's the one who's gonna be assigned to be your religious teacher."


Ardian gasped in disbelief. Staring at Mr. Ismail with a question mark.


"We have arrived. You will grow into a good person if you are well-educated." Mr. Ismail again patted Ardian on the shoulder. "Come down! we've reached home. You can go home now because Zidane is coming with you."


Ardian still does not believe in all Mr. Ismail's words. He still looked at Mr. Ismail in wonder.


"Let's get off. You eat first now, only then take medicine. Later after Maghrib prayer you can go home."


"T. thank you, Abah."


"Hmmm.." Mr. Ismail entered the house first.


*********


Along the way, Zidane's head was still filled with question marks. What made his brother change his attitude so quickly.


Unable to bear it, he ended up waking up Ardian who was sitting next to him. Only his left hand was trying to reach Ardian's body. His right hand is used to control the steering wheel.


"Ardian, Ardian, wake up.." His hand managed to pat Ardian's thigh. Because Ardian's body leaned and leaned against the car door.


"Eh, what's wrong, brother?" Ardian blinked to adjust the light entering the retina of his eye.


"You don't sleep so I don't sleep. We're halfway through this." Zidane. However, his eyes were still focused on driving.


"Eh, oh, yes, sorry.." Rubbing his eyes so as not to sleep anymore.


"You still dizzy?"


"Mmm. thank God, it's better now." Stirring his head slowly. "Mh.. Zidane's brother wants to change positions?"


"No need. I just need a friend. I'm afraid I'll get sleepy if there's no conversation partner."


"M.. Can I ask you a question?"


"That's just. Why ask for permission."


Ardian smiled grimacingly. "Will Brother Zidane teach me the science of religion?"


"Of course, why ask that?"


"Saying that he would send Brother Zidane to be my religious teacher."


Zidane nodded. "That's why I'm coming with you now. I also keep questions for you."


"M.. What question?"


"What made Abah suddenly change his attitude towards you? No way, didn't Abah change because you were sick?"


Ardian smiled slightly. "She asked me about the life I lived before. She also asked me why I had never been to the doctor. So, inevitably I ended up telling her my life story."


"Semiris what is your life story so that Abah immediately changed completely?"


Ardian glanced at Zidane. "I'm just covered in material. That's the difference between the life I live with street kids. I'm like an orphan with no parents. No one noticed, no one cared, no one reprimanded me for doing anything wrong. That's why I need a religious teacher now. I want to improve myself who's been covered in this sin."


"We will guide each other forward." Zidane patted Ardian's shoulder gently.


"Thank you, Mr. Teacher."


They both laughed together. Make passengers sitting behind wake up because of the sound of their laughter.


"What's going on?" Chayra rubbed her face to ward off sleepiness.
