Eps. 9

Jihan sat down anxiously while squeezing her cold hands, while the mother was seen pacing back and forth waiting for the door of the room to open.

After a few minutes ago arriving at the hospital, Jihan's father was immediately rushed to the IGD room. Because in the middle of the journey of the father to vomit thick blood. This caused panic in the car.

Bu Nur approached Jihan who was looking up as her lips ceaselessly said a prayer, pleading for the father to be given salvation.

"Jihan, that's stoic, baby. Dad's gonna be okay. Don't worry, we have to think positively." While giving a swab on Jihan's back.

"Why don't you worry, Auntie, I'm afraid. Very scared dad why-not. I don't really tell you what a sick dad is. And suddenly spewed blood so. I'm really scared of Auntie," teardrops started flowing in Jihan's eyes.

"Dear, Iya aunt understand your worries have not cried again yes, we just wait for the results of the examination pray that everything is not bad," said Bu Nur calm Jihan.

But the words of Bu Nur actually make Jihan can not stand to let out tears.

Bu Nur did not see it until his heart made him reach for Jihan's body and bring the girl in his arms.

Arga was watching Jihan, there was a feeling of pain that followed Arga when he saw the girl who usually smiled cheerfully crying in the arms of the mother.

Arga walked over to Miss Diana. Tell Diana to sit down and not pacing back and forth.

"Tante don't walk a lot, if Aunt is tired and sick, pity Jihan later. Look at her so sad," Arga pointed at Jihan who was still crying in her mother's arms.

Miss Diana approaches Jihan, "Sorry Nim, forgive mom. All this time it's been too hard on you guys. You and your father. I don't even know what my disease is alone. Pardon Nim's mother sorry," the mother cried regretting her actions which sometimes liked to be rude to Jihan and her husband.

"Mom don't talk like that anymore huh. Jihan never gets angry with her actions or words. Because she did it because of our dear mother," then Jihan squandered her body into her own mother's arms.

Jihan does not want to dispute it, now the only thing she thinks is her father must be healed and must be healed. That's all he wanted.

A few seconds later, the door of the room opened. A doctor who handled his father came out of the room.

"Can I speak to the patient's family?" Ask the doctor of the man.

"I doc, his wife." Ujuk Miss Diana.

"Let's come with me for a minute, there's something I want to say."

Miss Diana nodded, suddenly Jihan said, "i want to come with you too!"

"Wait here, Nim, I'll tell ya, you take care of me."

Then Miss Diana immediately walked up to the doctor.

"But Ma'am." His words were interrupted.

"Just wait here, Nim," Arga held back Jihan's arm that was about to catch up with her mother.

"Dear, I'll be back soon." The Bu Nur.

Jihan wiped away the tears that kept flooding her face, then walked towards the father's room in the care.

''I love you, I hope you don't go far from me,''

Said Jihan with a wistful.

In the doctor's room, it looks like Miss Diana was focusing on listening to the words of the doctor, Miss Diana was surprised to the point that her lips gaped in disbelief,. Visible jumbled face strokes between sad confused worried shocked and hit. When the doctor tells the truth about the husband's illness. Miss Diana was even made limp with what she heard from the doctor.

"So why did my husband cover it Doc? Not even telling the truth. He said it was just a regular cough" Ms Diana told the same doctor, checking for Mr. Ardi's illness earlier.

"I don't know much, ma'am, because Mr. Ardi himself asked to cover it. He only said if he did not want to make his wife's child worried. I had suggested for chemo, Mr. Ardi also refused because the percentage of recovery is not much because this is the final stage. Only God knows." Definitely brief.

Miss Diana's heart was broken, very sick. It felt like a part of him would be gone. Does this hurt like this?

After hearing the doctor's explanation, Diana walked out of the room. It appears that Jihan had been standing up earlier waiting for the mother to come out and hope to give him an explanation about the pain of the father.

Please be anxious emanating from Jihan's face, her eyes are puffy and slightly flushed due to most crying.

Jihan kept asking, but she never answered. Mother is still confused how to arrange the word so as not to sound too painful in the ears of the princess.

"Mom," call Jihan back so that her mother can give her an answer.

From the back, Arga and her mother walked towards Jihan. They were still waiting for her answer.

"Dad,, he, your father," said mommy. Between not being able to evaporate and confused how to convey to Jihan. Because I don't want to make Jihan sad again.

"Ayoo mom said, dad why? " Jihan can't hold back his tears anymore. His eyes began to glaze over. Seeing the expression of her mother who was sad made Jihan have a suspicion that something bad is going on.

"Father pain of late-stage cancer, Nim. He was not long," after saying that Miss Diana was sitting down with tears that tried to be held from earlier in the end spilled.

Like in a lightning bolt Jihan's heart was broken. It was as if part of the world was over. Jihan gaped in disbelief. He is very broken. Still trying to deny the truth.

"No way, mom's kidding. Ma!" Jihan rubbed the tears that suddenly flowed back. "it's like this can still be a joke. Not funny Mom!"

"Mom's not kidding Nim, I'm telling you the truth." Miss Diana looked into Jihan's eyes. Trying to convince the princess of the truth. Even though the truth is the most painful thing, we must not deny it. Because it cannot be repaired. Staying alone should be able to accept it with a roomy heart.

Jihan's body suddenly trembled, her legs limp. His mind has gone everywhere. Think about what his life would be like if there was no father. Half his life was taken away. He had not even realized the happiness of his father.

"No way, this must be wrong. The doctor must have been wrong, ma'am. There's no way Dad's not going anywhere. Dad will be healthy. This dream is all a lie, "Jihan feels frustrated. Rejecting that truth. Arga who stood behind Jihan became unbearable. His heart was also slashed.

Arga swiftly grabbed the body of Jihan who almost fell embrace him and support the fragile body. Trying to give strength there.

While bu Nur is also equally hit, so that no tears also flooded her eyes.

Like a family of Bu Nur trying to give power to a neighbor who he had considered his own brother. Bu Nur hugged Jihan's mother's body while calming her down.

"Nim, calm yourself. Don't be fragile, you have to be strong. Remember, you're still with us right now. Don't make himself sad to see you're this fragile, yeah." Arga's hand moved rubbing Jihan's head.

Jihan looked at Arga's face, "but I can't bear it, it's too painful for me. I felt like I had lost half my world" Those sad eyes shed tears again.

"Shuutt, shutt calm down. If you need a place to cry I lend you this shoulder. As long as it reduces your crying, Nim." Arga. His heart could not bear to see Jihan who was crying.

Jihan helplessly endured her heartache, reflexively dropping her head onto Arga's shoulders. Arga accepts the stricken girl, now embraces Jihan's body and carries her in her arms.

Arga tries to comfort Jihan, "Only half of your world is lost. You feel that way, don't you? for example, Nim, if you ask me to replace half the lost world, I'm willing."

Jihan stopped her crying, slightly rubbing her nose filled with snot, "I mean? Arga wants to be my father's replacement? Huuu was so mean to marry my mother." 😭

Cryan's crying is getting broken. Arga's own confusion. That's not why Jihan thought of it.

Jeez, this kid why so innocent. Arga smiled bitterly in heart.

"Heyy, don't cry so much, don't you. That's not what I meant. Be quiet, forgive me," embrace Jihan's shoulder.

"Forget it, don't think about it, okay. Here, I'll lend me my body to make your backrest cry."

"But sorry mas, Arga's clothes got wet with a little snot earlier. After I swooped it a bit tight earlier," basic Jihan still had time to joke.

"No what nim, if you need to just wear my clothes to wipe your snot, would you not?"

Unexpectedly Jihan nodded, "Mau mas. My nose is stuck."

And sure enough without hesitation, Arga took off the jacket he was wearing. So that Jihan can wipe her snot and tears as she pleases in that jacket.

"Don't, it doesn't have to be really open. I was just kidding.''

"If you really need no problem Nim just wear it, nih," urged Arga thrust his jacket, but Jihan refused. But Arga doesn't give up, he puts his jacket back on until Jihan receives it.

So it makes the two throw each other a jacket throw, and it makes Jihan reduce her sadness. But I did not forget the pain.

Arga calmed down a little, if the girl could control her grief. He was also sad just that he did not want to show it so that he could become a crumbling crutch for the Jihan family.
