My Love Ends At Pesantren

Meet

Mentari ran after the nurses who brought Ainun to the IGD room. Mentari's tears flowed profusely looking at the helpless body of his beloved daughter. Yusuf could only look on his pity at Mentari, wanting her to embrace the girl to give her strength.

"Sorry Mom, you can't come in, let the doctor check on your daughter,"

"Yes Dance, we better be here, we wait while praying Ainun, In sha Allah he will be fine," Mentari just nodded and chose to sit in front of IGD.

Ainun had been inside for half an hour, but not a single nurse or doctor came out. The sun can only wait with tears. Umm Kalsum who is already beside Mentari can only hug Mentari.

While Nadia was feeling guilty because of him, Ainun had to experience this. He wanted to get close to Mentari, but Nabila held him back.

"Had it been, it wasn't your fault, Ainun should have known the truth," Nabila held back Nadia's footsteps who wanted to walk towards Mentari.

Right too, it was Mentari's fault, why he had hidden everything to Ainun. Thought Nadia.

Nadia again sat beside Nabila, she now looked at Mentari. There was a sense of pity to see the now chaotic Mentari, but his ego and anger made him throw away his mother's taste.

Not long after, a nurse came out.

"Sorry ma'am, the doctor wants to meet the patient's parents,"

"I'm Sus' mother, where's the doctor ?" The nurse ran over to the nurse.

" In here Mom, are you her father?" The sister looked at Joseph.

"He's mom.." Mentari's speech was cut off.

"Yes, I am his father" Joseph immediately interrupted Mentari's speech. He walked over to Mentari and the nurse.

"Alright, now you follow me,"

The three walked towards a room, where he saw a doctor who was waiting for their arrival. With a feeling of concern, Mentari sat down before the doctor.

"What happened to my daughter doc ?"

"Look Mom, after we had the patient checked, we noticed there was a problem with your daughter's heart,"

"The problem? It's impossible for the doc, for sure the doctor misdiagnosed him" cried Mentari.

"Day silence, we listen to the doctor's explanation first" Joseph tried to calm Mentari.

"Look at Ma'am, sir. Your daughter seems to have had heart problems since childhood, this doesn't seem to be the result of an accident she had,"

"No way," Mentari could only look down, he felt disbelief if his daughter had a heart attack.

" What should we do, Doc?" Joseph tried to speak as calmly as possible.

"I would recommend a cardiologist, you can see him. He had been contacted earlier, so you can immediately see the doctor," explained Dr. Hendri while handing over the card of the cardiologist.

"Alright, then thank you doc for the help," Yusuf greeted Dr. Hendri.

Mentari and Yusuf left Dr. Hendri's room. The two walked in silence, occasionally Yusuf glanced at Mentari who since coming out of Doctor Hendri's room just silently silent.

His second step stopped in front of a room. Joseph looked at Mentari who was still silent. Mentari read the signboard in front of the room they want to enter.

There was a hint of doubt in his heart, his legs as if it was hard to move. Joseph who saw the doubt in Mentari's eyes was confused. He invited Mentari to enter the room. But Mentari was like a statue, he just stood staring at the sign.

"You why Tar? Let's go in,"

Mentari was still silent, making Joseph even more confused. I don't know what's on Mentari's mind that makes her that way. Thought Yusuf.

"What are you thinking? Let's go in" said Joseph once more.

"No, we should look for another doctor" Mentari said as she left.

Just two steps from Mentari, suddenly the door of the room opened. Look at the person Mentari wants to avoid. The figure of the man who once filled his heart. A man who until now was difficult to lose in his mind.

"Dance ? Is that you?" Azka stood in front of the door of her room.

The mentor who heard the familiar voice in his ear immediately turned to the source of the sound. He is now dealing with a man he hates.

Azka, who saw Mentari, stepped on her feet towards Mentari. His steps were suddenly stopped by Mentari. Azka stopped for a moment.

Joseph who saw the gaze of Azka's eyes could clearly understand the purpose of the gaze. Now he turned towards Mentari, a not much different look also seen on the face of Mentari.

"I've been looking for you all along, mom and dad miss you too, they already know about our son, too,"

"Our son? he is not your son, your rights have been lost since you told me to abort him" Mentari said sarcastically.

"From my pardon, I was confused as to how else, I had goals that I wanted to achieve, and I didn't want the boy to destroy all my ideals and hopes,"

" And now that I have achieved that goal, now we can live together,"

Mentari just smiled cynically at Azka's words. After what he had gone through alone, Azka easily brought him back.

"Tari I love you so much, I want to be with you forever,"

Joseph now realized that between the two, there was a close relationship. It was as if he was between two longing hearts. He also wanted to make room for both.

Joseph's footsteps halted, Mentari swiftly drew Joseph's hand. Azka who saw the scene looked confused, she looked at Joseph.

"Mas don't go, stay here,"

"No, you need time to speak together" Yusuf refused, even though in his heart there was a sincerity in seeing Mentari with another man.

"There's nothing we need to talk about, it's all over" Mentari said firmly.

Azka was now silent to the conversation of the two people in front of her. It feels like he cut the conversation, but Mentari's speech as if affirming between him and Mentari now lives a memory.

"We came here to talk about our daughter's situation" Mentari now turned to Azka.

Azka who heard Mentari's words said that their daughter was increasing the distance between them. Now the wait and love that he had been guarding for Mentari was gone.

The regret in his heart burst out for a moment. His heart was broken with disappointment. Azka looked at Mentari's face with a regretful look.

"Can we talk about it in your room?" mentari.

"Oh, Sorry. Of course you can, let's go in, please,"

Azka now turned around and immediately rushed back into her room. Mentari and Joseph followed Azka's steps. They were also involved in serious talks.

On the other side...

In a garden, there was a woman sitting with her hands clenched. From the look of his face it is very visible that now he is holding back emotions.

The woman looked very beautiful with her hijab covering her hair. He sometimes looks at the screen of the phone in his hand. And once in a while he glanced at the watch attached to his left wrist. It looks like he's waiting for someone.

"Sorry to make you wait too long" said a burly man.

"Sit down" said the girl.

"It's your job this time, get rid of this woman,"

The man took a picture of the girl. He looked at the face in the photo. He then looked at the girl and nodded as if saying he approved of the task given to him.

A sly grin emanated on the girl's pretty face. Now smiling with satisfaction, he had thought about what steps he would take after getting rid of the person in the photo.

"This is the down payment, the rest I'll give you after your assignment is done,"

After giving some money to the man, Nabila now left the restaurant. He walked while smiling happily. Without him noticing, a pair of eyes were watching him.

After making sure Nabila left, Rika stood up to leave her desk. Since returning from the hospital, he followed Nabila who looked strange. And sure enough, something was planned by Nabila.

I don't know who the people who want to be removed by Nabila. Think Rica.
