My Sweet Journey's

Stone Cake

Rossa ran to the IGD, where Shilda was waiting anxiously. In front of him appeared several health workers were handling Adnan. Including Nurul.

"Generic....." Rossa screamed bitterly with tears flowing. The saint swiftly restrained Rossa who wanted to break into the IGD room.

"Cha. Let them work." Saint pulls Rossa back. Shilda was crying just like Rossa.

"What's going on?" Rossa asked with a limp body in the Santo's check.

"Adnan had a sudden seizure. And we don't have the cure. He's never had a seizure this long." Shilda replied between her sobs.

Rossa's body collapsed with Saint unable to hold back. Rossa was completely speechless. "Istighfar Cha." One suggestion went into Rossa's ear. After that sentence was bounced from Rossa's lips, followed by Shilda who also said it. The two women's hands clasped each other, strengthening each other.

Rossa and Shilda did not budge at all, even as the heart rate detection monitor let out the scariest sound for everyone. A straight line is now drawn on the square screen. Santo could see Nurul, who was backtracking, unable to see what had happened to Adnan. Nurul's comrades pulled the girl back. Letting others help Adnan.

"3..2..1..go!" Adnan's body bounces as the defibrillator jolts his small chest.

"Again!" Tio's own doctor who went down to handle Adnan.

Rossa was getting drowned. There was nothing more he could do. She and Shilda cried. "Cha, where are you going?" Shida shouted as Rossa ran away from there.

Rossa walked quickly to find the place she needed the most right now. Unknowingly, the woman passed by Aria who was pecking at where she stood, the man saw everything that happened. One code from the Saint, making Aria turn around, then follow Rossa.

Aria loses track of Rossa, until she finds the woman taking water at a mushola near the IGD. It was time for the Ashar prayer, so the man came in, to perform his duty.

"We are worshippers." Rossa flinched hearing Aria's voice. However, the woman followed Aria's will. Rossa could not stop her tears when she heard the chanting of the holy verse from Aria's lips. The man who some time ago expressed hatred for him, but now even became his priest

Four rakaats finished their tuning, with Rossa still crying, even after Aria finished saying her greeting. Aria turned her body, until she saw Rossa who was still sobbing. With two hands, facing up.

"Don't take him, just take me. I'd willingly replace him. Servant please."

"Nur....." Aria was furious at the prayer of Rossa. The woman did not care about Aria's whereabouts. The man stared at Rossa. He can see how Rossa's broken. The woman could only cry with the same prayer repeated from her lips.

"God, give him the best." Rossa was shocked as Aria placed her hand under hers. Up to two pairs of hands as if being one while praying. Just stymied by the cloth that Rossa was wearing.

"Remember your prayers." Aria said.

"Don't take him...."

"Nur...."

"You don't know anything, so you just shut up!"

Silence, Aria was unable to reply to the sarcastic remarks from Rossa. Aria did not change her prayers. The two men prayed with each other. Rossa was so indifferent to Aria. Almost ten minutes, both of them remained in that position, with the same thing they did.

Aria occasionally steals a glance towards Rossa. His heart quickly melted. "Come down, and you'll know how valuable he is. Not even her husband could touch her heart. She's special."

Mala's words made Aria follow her heart that began to open. Until the man saw a real Rossa. Stand between the weak and try hard. Rossa's figure now looks different in Aria's eyes. Physical beauty that is supported by beauty of the heart. "Take me, not my son. Give him a chance to see the world...."

"What would he do if he could no longer see his mother?" cut Aria.

"At least he was healed and alive. There will be many people who will take care of him."

"What if he just wants his mother?"

Silence, Rossa could not answer Aria's question at all. "He'll find a figure..."

Rossa could only remain silent. Until one slow slack becomes the answer. "Mother.mom.I miss mom." The words were suddenly uttered from Rossa's lips.

It felt like Aria hugged Rossa, but she realized, it should not be done. "Cry if you want to cry, but after this do not show your sadness in front of him."

"But he....."

"Aren't sure about him?"

"He will give His people the best, even if it is bitter."

Rossa saw Aria. "But I don't believe you!" Rossa took off her face and stood up, leaving Aria who could only sigh. "Cha...."

Aria stood up quickly, looking at Shilda who was outside the mushala. "Adnan Cha, he's...."

Rossa's cry broke again as the woman kissed Adnan's forehead. Doctor Tio managed to restore Adnan's heart rate. "Thank you Doc. Twice you saved my son." Rossa said when dealing with Tio's doctor, Tiona Romawli.

"It's my job. Adnan has been great so far. Once the situation is stable, I will do a thorough re-check-up. According to Nurul, Adnan's response has increased rapidly in recent days."

"True Doc."

"Hows it? Changed mind?" ask Santo. The two men were standing outside the IGD action room. Where the two are only separated by a glass bulkhead. Until they can see how things are going in there.

"He's his son? With Angga?" ask Aria.

"Still in doubt." Aria immediately looked towards Saint. What does it mean is still doubtful. Did Rossa get pregnant first, then Angga was in charge.

"Don't convolve. You know my patience is as thin as a tissue split in two right now."

"Heh the victim of the onlen nopel." Cibir Santo.

Aria wanted to ask again, but Rossa came out with Tio's doctor. "He will be monitored intensively 24 hours. Given the shock it could come attacking again. Remember, just like the treatment in the PICU."

Rossa nodded in understanding. The three stared at the doctor Tio who passed from before them."Eat yuk first." Take Shilda, the girl came with two bags of crackles in her hand.

"Not hungry." Rossa walked towards the waiting chair.

"Eat first, Nur." Aria Pinta.

Rossa was silent. He had absolutely no desire to talk to Aria. Hate it? No. gabe. Just reluctant to do things that are not important according to him.

"Nur...."

"Don't be so considerate!" Aria rounded her eyes to hear the words of Judes Rossa.

"Saucer!! That's why people act in the first place." Ledek Shilda, sit beside Rossa.

The saint himself did not comment much. But from the look on his face, if it can be described will be said, "Congratulations, you have hit the stone."
