MY HUSBAND MY BEST FRIEND'S BROTHER

CHAPTER 43

"Will he remember the accident the doctor" asked Rangga.

"After we re-checked the brain of sister Caca, thank God we found no damage. And God willing all the memories of sister Caca be it her past until the moment before the accident is slowly coming back, and it doesn't take long.

Gratitude continues to be expressed when Reza's doctor said there was no physical damage both inside and outside. But there is a story that Rangga feared if Caca had to remember the tragedy of the accident that happened to him.

"Doctor, if he remembers the tragedy of the accident, will something happen to him.

"God does not exist.

"I therefore recommend taking him to a place that is calm and comfortable for him.

"Thankful Thank God if nothing happens - what a doctor.

"When do we think we can take her home from the doctor?".

"We see his condition until tomorrow, if there is nothing to worry about, tomorrow can already be taken home.

"Okay Doctor, we'll do the doctor's advice. Thank you so much doctor". replied Rangga with a shake of hand.

"Same - same". replied Reza.

Rangga returned to Caca's room to tell her all about what Dr. Reza had told her.

"Mother, there's something I want to say. But we just talk outside, Bun". said Rangga whispering. Siska nodded her head approving of Rangga's invitation.

Rangga brought her mother out of the room to convey everything Reza's doctor told her.

Rangga conveyed everything to Siska with nothing forgotten.

It's true what Dr. Reza said post-apocalypse from Caca's coma was more moody and not a word had come out of his mouth yet.

Rangga set up the gurney where Caca was lying down to make Caca sit up. Caca continued to circulate his eyes throughout the room where he was being treated.

"Ca, this is a bull's-eye"., Siska pointed to herself next to Caca with tears of happiness.

"That's your bone". said Siska pointing at Rangga.

"That's Nantulang mu". said Siska appointed Rangga's wife.

"Remember you're the same as us?". asked Siska.

"Alhamdulillah".they said compactly as Caca nodded his head.

With joy they took turns kissing the head of Caca. While Vino and Billy kiss the back of Caca's hand that is still limp.

"Hopefully get well soon dear". they said while kissing the head of Caca.

Rangga came back to Caca with Nadin who was in his carriage.

"Kiss brother Caca dear"., exclaimed Rangga to Nadin by bringing his son closer to Caca's face. Nadin kissed Caca's cheek using his lips to sound a kiss.

"Have you told me about that person, son?". asked Siska to Rangga without mentioning the name of the person in question so as not to understand Caca if what Siska meant was Aldo Caca's uncle.

"You can forget me, Bun. I called her first". replied Rangga who understood who her mother meant. Rangga lowered Nadin from his carrier and passed out of the room.

Rangga deliberately came out of Caca's ward to be more free to talk to Aldo and not heard by Caca.

"Assalamualaikum" said Rangga when his mobile call was connected.

"Waalaikumsalam.

"What's up, bro?". asked Aldo.

"Caca was aware of the coma bro". said Rangga enthusiastically.

"Alhamdulillah O Allah".

"Continue how things are now bro". asked Aldo no less enthusiastic.

"Alhamdulillah. It's good bro, but the doctor said that the newly awakened person from the coma will look like a dazed person, and that's now happening to Caca.

"The doctor suggested taking him to a comfortable and quiet place. And we have decided to take him to our villa which is on the island of Toba.

"Thank God, thank God if he's in good shape - fine. Thank you bro for taking very good care of Caca.

"That's not you, bro, someone else's cake you think of us. He is also our responsibility bro".Rangga's responsibility.

"It's not so bro, I should be the one to take care of her. Because of my cowardice, I gave up my responsibilities. I deserve to be called a wardencuts bro. And I don't deserve to be an Uncle to him for giving up my responsibilities as an uncle.

"Don't feel guilty that's how bro. He's also our responsibility bro. It is important now that our nephew is aware of the state of health. And we are still brothers even though our brother is gone for good.

"Thank you so much brother".say Aldo.

"Oh yes bro, if we come there would you like to accept our arrival there bro?. I want to see it firsthand bro". Aldo's pinta who hasn't seen Caca in a long time.

"We'd be happy if you guys came here, bro. But if you come now, which cake is with Caca if you only see you. Are you ready to face it?". asked Rangga reminding Aldo when not ready to tell the truth.

"I've been thinking about this after taking Caca off the field. Ready to be ready we have to tell the truth bro".

"But I'm curious about you bro, before what exactly makes you unable to say directly to him". asked Rangga.

"You should know bro, Caca wouldn't ask about something that would make the people around him sad. He will choose to be quiet and find his own.

"Keep why don't you dare to face him if he won't ask bro?". asked Rangga.

"I couldn't see him smiling to cover up the sadness he was feeling bro". replied Aldo.

"You mean bro?".

Aldo took a deep breath and threw it away.

"He will look strong in front of us as if he were no burden. And he won't cry in front of us even if we tell him the truth later, and I'm sure it's bro.

"Why can you be sure?". asked Rangga.

"I know from the late brother Ahmad, his nature is exactly the same as my late brother bro. When we were teenagers, we lost both of our parents. But brother Ahmad did not shed tears so that I could be strong to face our trials. And you know the brother of the deceased brother Ahmad will cry when he is alone". replied Aldo Iirih remembering when they had to lose both their parents.

"That's what makes me unable to see Caca like that. It's better for Caca to cry out in front of me than for her to cry in her solitude.

"Keep what should we do bro?". asked Rangga who was beginning to worry.

"I don't know bro. Did he shed tears after he woke up bro?". asked Aldo back.

"Until now there is absolutely no bro". replied Rangga.

"That's what I'm afraid of, bro". Aldo said.

"So when are you gonna come here, bro. If that cake I can't even bro if later he's like that".

"Fastly bro, I have to ask permission first with Mr. Alki and the homeroom of my children.

"Ok bro, I wait for news of your arrival.

"Bro, we can do a video Call ngak, I'd love to see Caca's situation now but don't let him know. Can you do it, brother?". asked Aldo.

"That looks bro, soon I video Call you yes". replied Rangga.

"Thank you bro. Assalamualaikum.

"Waalaikumsalam.

Rangga re-entered Caca's ward and looked for the right position to make a video call with Aldo so as not to be known by Caca.

After getting the right position, Rangga again contacted Aldo, not forgetting Rangga used his hands free so as not to hear Caca's voice from his cellphone.

Rangga continued to look at Caca's face which was only silent when Vika invited him to speak. Sometimes Caca just smiles when Nadin's son is acting funny. But Caca's smile looks very forced.

The atmosphere of the room was a little quieter than when Caca was still in a coma. Rangga's children sit sweetly on a couch without causing the usual noise they do.

Siska who always communicates with Anggi, do not forget to tell Anggi through whatsapp. Not to miss Siska sent a photo of Caca again sitting leaning against her bank.

*

In the middle of the night when all had fallen asleep with a dream but different from Caca who could not close his eyes.

"O Allah, strengthen Your servant in receiving the trials You have given.

"If indeed your servant's parents have taken you from the servant's side, put them by Your side. And put them in heaven which You promised. And if they are still in this world, I beg you to give them the opportunity to be by their side, O Allah". His prayer inwardly wiped away his tears when he saw Siska awake from her sleep and tried to turn back to close her eyes.

Siska approaches her granddaughter when she learns Caca has not closed her eyes.

"Why don't you sleep pung?". asked Siska by wiping the head of her grandson who was wrapped in a veil.

"Write the same opung kek where you used to always tell the same opung.

"If there's something you want to ask the same opung, Tanyalah, must be the answer to all what you want to know". said Siska who continued to chatter.

"Definitely opung knows what Caca wants to know". Caca replied in a heart that the old woman could not have heard.

"Now sleep pung. Easy - hopefully tomorrow you are allowed to take home. We can go to the villa. Sleep let the opung wipe - wipe your back". said Siska helps Caca tilt his body so that he can wipe Caca's back.

Caca's habit began to occur when he was on vacation in the middle and without his parents. Caca always sleeps with Siska who always rubs her back when she cannot fall asleep.

With affection Siska continued to rub - wipe his back until Caca fell asleep.

"Your habits are exactly the same as your old mother. Always can not sleep if it is far from your idol opung".Siska said in her heart to remember Ratna's habit when Ratna's father was not home with them.

Rangga who had just realized Siska was not next to him woke up from his sleep looking for the existence of Siska.

Seeing her mother next to Caca's gurney getting out of bed and approaching her. It turns out that Siska has also fallen asleep with a seat position by rubbing Caca's back.

Rangga lifted the old woman's body and laid her down slowly on a king-size bed provided by the hospital where they both used to sleep together while guarding Caca.

While Vika and her children returned to their homes at night to rest comfortably given the condition of Vika who was pregnant with their fourth child.

Sometimes Vika will return to the hospital with breakfast after taking care of Vino and Billy leave for school.
