My Heart to You, Brother (Love in Silence)

139. Awake, Brother!

"Son, don't pick me up, I've got something to take care of, I want to finish the pending report" Arrida sent a message to Uwais.

Again, there was a feeling of disappointment in Uwais' heart when he read the message from his wife. However, he remained waiting for Arrida until the afternoon.

"Later to go home by taxi, go to college first, it just so happens that today the practice is to go home quickly I have ordered a taxi!" the next message from Arrida was sent.

Sure enough, that afternoon Uwais saw Arrida out of practice before the hour of return. He goes out with Rasya, they chat with the files in their hands, then Rasya like taking Arrida away together, but Arrida prefers to wait for the taxi he has booked.

Uwais followed Arrida's taxi and confirmed his wife's safe arrival on campus. He also follows Arrida to the library. There, he hid at the end of the room, pretending to read, even though he was watching his beloved wife who was focusing on doing tasks while opening books and typing on a laptop. He was acting like a spy.

There's a pity to see it. In his heart, he was eager to help his wife, but he paused, because he saw Rasya was helping her.

"Who's that guy? Is he Rasya? Is it her job partner?" Uwais gumam.

Without realizing it, jealousy is present. He was angry, but he did not know what to do. Especially when occasionally seen Arrida laughing with Rasya. His heart is really not broken. Finally, he decided to leave the library, and returned home.

🌼

Arrida went home to approach the Maghrib, looking tired on her face. He saw Uwais sleeping. His handsome face, made Arrida excited again. Ah, all day, he left her, so he couldn't reach her via phone call. Only twice did he send a message not to pick him up, it did not get a reply from Uwais.

"I'm so tired, yeah!" he said while gently rubbing Uwais' hair.

Uwais. He was surprised by the presence of Arrida.

"Home home?" uwais asked while hiding the feeling of anger from jealousy this afternoon.

"Yes, just ... Are you tired, right?"

"Hmm" Uwais said as he woke up from his sleep, then he sat on the lip of the bed.

"Well eat?" ask Arrida.

Uwais. He had not eaten at all after dropping off Arrida this morning.

"Yes, why haven't you eaten yet? There were dishes and vegetables this morning,"

Uwais was silent, he knew that Arrida had prepared it this morning, but he did not have time to touch the food prepared by his wife because all day he waited and followed Arrida.

"I'm masakin noodles, yeah! Wantsome? Let's warm?" Arrida offers to make Uwais noodles soup. He remembered, Uwais had asked him to make noodle soup like when HUT school.

Without Uwais's consent, he went to the kitchen and cooked noodles.

🌼

"Sister, the noodles are over! Let's eat!" take Arrida to Uwais who turns back to sleep after Arrida left for the kitchen.

Uwais just opened her lazy eyes.

"Come, brother, pity his stomach,"

Uwais deliberately closed his eyes.

"Kaaak, do not sleep near the Maghrib, said the old man, pamali, you know! Let's eat, yuk!" said Arrida while pulling the arm of Uwais. And inevitably, the man complied.

Now they sit on the dining table chairs, in front of them there is a bowl of noodle soup.

"This is for me? You're not eating?" ask Uwais.

"No, I'm still full!"

"When do you eat?"

"So before returning home, buy!"

Uwais. He really has no taste for food. In his mind, if Arrida must have eaten with Rasya.

"I'm bribing ya!" said Arrida excitedly.

A spoonful of noodles slid into Uwais' mouth.

Because it felt like his stomach was hungry, Uwais finally opened his mouth.

"Emh, how delicious is this noodle?" murmured Uwais in the heart. He also tastes back to spend his noodles regardless of his feelings of jealousy.

"Let me eat by myself yes, you take a shower there!" uwais' orders realized that Arrida had not had time to change her clothes.

Arrida smiles. He did as his husband commanded. And before he left, he took a peek at Uwais' cheek. Getting a kiss on the cheek, Uwais' mood changed better. But there is a concern, is this sweet attitude Arrida, just want to cover up the mistake he did because he had walked with other men? Ah, Uwais's heart is getting worse.

🌼

Tonight, Arrida is still busy in front of the laptop, he accidentally finishes his duties in bed while accompanying Uwais who is trying to play the game on her phone.

"Sleep Brother, it's ten o'clock!" arrida's orders to Uwais. The man stopped his activities playing the game.

"Are you done?" ask Uwais.

"Not yet!"

"Much more?" ask again.

"Lumayan!" answer Arrida while watching the sheets of the file.

"Why not get it done tomorrow? Tomorrow is Sunday?"

"Tomorrow I'll use my sister's ngedate all day!"

"Emh, what?" Uwais was a little incredulous.

"Yes, we've been dating all day! We used to date from morning till night,"

"really?"

"Yes, I want to repeat, who knows if someone remembers!" arrida said excitedly, he was already impatient to restore Uwais' memory.

"You know, here, your job, I'll help you, let's finish, let's get you fit tomorrow!"

Arrida smiles.

"Why smile, hm?"

"Sister kangen?" arrida.

"Emmh?"

"Yes, you always help me finish college,"

"I'm sorry I was so upset, I'm angry again,"

"Eh, why's brother angry?"

"Because you don't want to be picked up, you don't want to have dinner with me, you eat with other people!"

"Yes, Brother, I'm sorry ... I meant to send a message so that you don't pick me up, because I want to go straight to campus, so you're not tired!"

"Yes, why didn't you say that?" Arrida. "Why don't you come home, you're tired of waiting for me all day!" he continued, hugging Uwais and then peeping his cheeks.

"Since I don't want to disappoint you for the third time, I hope to successfully pick you up this time! You asked not to be picked up!" Uwais sulked like a child.

"Oh my goodness, sister, why did sister ga bales order me? And what if my brother's in my practice?"

"When there's a message from you, I see you're the same guy,"

"Oooouh means brother jealous?"

Uwais.

"He was Rasya, my partner when I came home to S town yesterday because there was a tsunami, I asked him where I should make the report! Uh wait a minute, which means, when's brother coming home?"

"I followed you to the bus, I saw you working with him! Then I'll go home!" uwais said it was still sulking.

"Mmh, pity I'm sorry! But we're just doing our job, brother, nothing else!"

"You must have eaten, too, and she won't, won't eat with me!"

"Oh, if it's about eating, I eat ma Lani, big brother not when Ms Fika and bang Arman put me in the dorm?" tanya Arrida reminded Uwais when Fika finally asked for permission to withdraw Arrida to no longer live in the dorm.

Uwais. He remembered the time he had packed Arrida's things from the dorm.

"Well, Lani's my roommate, brother! Brother also got greetings from him, he's his girlfriend bang Kirno! He used to go to restaurants, help out, only during field practice, he never came here!"

Uwais nodded in understanding.

"I'm sorry, I made you think wrong!" said Arrida while peeking back at Uwais' cheek.

Uwais smiled faintly. He felt relieved, however, in his heart there was still something stuck, because of the memory loss he felt was useless to his wife. Especially when he helps complete the tasks, which can usually come to complete this can only type on the laptop. Luckily, he remembered the letters.

🌼

As Arrida said, if today they will date all day, as it was, this time Arrida invited Uwais to see the sunrise on the beach. They left after dawn.

They join hands walking on the beach while enjoying the sunrise. They also let their feet hit by the waves.

Although Uwais could not bring his memory back about dating on the beach at that time, but he really enjoyed its beauty and its current togetherness with Arrida.

"Hi Wais, Rida, how are you?" ask someone. He was Sony, the guide and companion of Uwais and Arrida playing snorkeling at that time.

"Eh, my Sony! We're good, Mas! Still want us?" ask Arrida.

"Of course, I memorize very much the same you guys, a very harmonious couple, beautiful and handsome, yaaa, actually I was hesitating for you guys because you now wear a hijab, yaa, but I won't forget Wais' handsome face!" obviously Sony.

"Yes, Mom, we're married now!" arrida.

"Well, really? Congratulations, come on, so ... The story is you're here for that honeymoon?" sony Ledek.

"No, we're just playing!" arrida.

"Ohh ... You guys want to snorkel too?"

"Wouldn't you?" asked Arrida while glancing at Uwais.

Although a little confused, Uwais nodded.

Sony found it a bit strange with Uwais' attitude, which was not as warm as it used to be. Arrida understands Sony's confusion, finally he tells the state of Uwais and the events he experienced that caused him to lose his memory.

🌼

"Yes, you have fun, remember, do not be far away and do not be too middle, I can not accompany you at this time, because, there are many people who want to snorkel, not too much, they're on their first time, while, here's a new three-man companion!" said Sony.

"Yes, Mom, no papa! Thanks yeah!" arrida.

"Okke stay first yes" said Sony.

Finally they began to play snorkeling, initially Arrida accompanied Uwais, until Uwais could understand how to snorkel

and now they both enjoy the beauty of the sea surface full of beautiful coral reefs and interesting small fish.

Suddenly without Arrida noticing, Uwais had lost sight, he endured the pain in his head, as his ears were buzzing and causing an excruciating pain. There was an irregular scream in his ear.

"Tolooong! Lariiii! Aiiiir! Aiiir Naiiik! Tsunami! Quick lariiiii!!"

The flash of events that Uwais experienced while saving himself while carrying the body of Mr. Ridwan appeared at random, until his body resigned to the tsunami, also when he grabbed a floating wood, which was still in the air, and from an unexpected direction, a car that was also carried away by the tsunami hit Uwais' body right on his head. Although it was only dragged but the impact was quite hard, and that's when he was unconscious.

Arrida was confused, he had enjoyed the coral reefs long enough, but Uwais did not come to him. At first he thought Uwais was still enjoying the underwater scenery nearby, but eventually he realized that there was no movement from Uwais. He immediately approached Uwais and examined him, fear and worry engulfing him. He panicked. He immediately took Uwais to the beach.

"Yeah!! Wake up Brother!!" call shouting. He patted Uwais on the shoulder. There was no response. Arrida is panicking. He notices the chest or abdomen of the Uwais making sure it moves up and down or not. But there's no movement. He recalled the first aid lessons that were done to drowning people.

Arrida put his index finger in front of the Uwais nostril to check whether there is a breath or not. Then check the pulse on Uwais' wrist. His heart rate is weak. Tried on the side of Uwais' neck to make sure his heart still beats the same still feels weak.

Arrida was really getting panicked. This time, he recalled the lessons of CPR.

"Natalogue ...."

Finally, Arrida did CPR or gave artificial breath. Just like when Uwais did it to Arrida while drifting in the river a few years ago.

"Sister! Wake up!!!"

Arrida. The first CPR he did was not successful, he finally did it for the second time. But still not successful, Uwais did not give any response. He tried it for the third time.

Once there was a slight response, Uwais coughed, inhaled as much air as possible, and let out water from her mouth. But his eyes are still closed. It even seems to weaken, because the position of the head seems to droop tilted to the sand.

Arrida cried, screamed, while shaking Uwais' body.

"Sister! Wake Sis!"

Then he hit Uwais in the chest several times. Still no response from Uwais. He dropped his head on Uwais' chest and cried.
