NINGRAT Between Him And Duda

He's Not There...

Ten months later

*

Ning, who has recovered completely and only stayed in control once a month, is now being preoccupied with his online business. Unexpectedly, the beginning only sells products from other people's stores, now he can make his own products at wholesale prices.

He already has many customers who always order goods from him, either online or offline. Starting from wedding sovenirs such as small doll-shaped hangers, vegetable shapes and fruits made of flannel, cloth wallets, to make local bags using their own brands.

Not only Siti and Ocha, now he has several employees. Even his neighbors are now his workforce to sew bags that can be taken to their homes. He can also buy a motorcycle and install a box used for shipping goods. He rented a house for production as well as a warehouse for storage of goods.

Singgih was getting more nimble to approach Ning, both often chat, telephone and even video call. Nana who missed him was always used as an excuse by Singgih to start communication with Ning, because since Ning's online business developed Singgih forbade Nana from coming every day to Ning's house. He will only come every Sunday, that too with Singgih.

But often Ning refused Singgih's invitation to go out. Busy with work that is always the reason. It seems he does not want the incident to happen again the other day. However, if Nana were to whine then she would be willing to go. And that counts very rarely.

“Non, Bu Farida calls on nih nanyain when her order will be delivered...” Said Siti approaching Ning in her study as an owner.

“Loh, indeed the courier is still on delivery?” tanya Ning who seemed busy with her laptop screen.

“Iya, Non.. Mbak Ocha again send orders to Tangerang by car... How about, Non? Kan Non knows for himself that Bu Farida is an ancient person who does not have a bank account, so every transaction always pays cash.

“How many orders?”

“100 pcs bags, Non..”.

“Already, I've just dropped by..” Ning closed the file, then turned off his laptop.

“Eh, but what do you want to wear? Car same motor is again used delivery?” ask Siti confused.

“Siti ... this is not the time of the trading pharaoh cilok, if you want to go-to live online taxi book only time...” Said Ning then stood up.

“Ehehehe.. yes, I lupita... This note and address, Non...” Siti handed a piece of paper to Ning.

“Yes there prepare the goods... I'll book the taxi...” Said Ning who then picked up the phone. He opened an online transportation booking application and entered the destination address as stated in the note. He took a bag and put a cell phone and a note in it.

“The material has been packed.. stay brought out only...” Siti then exited the room, followed by Ning from behind her.

Before long the Ning online taxi order came. Siti helped put one of their customers in a taxi. Ning then went inside and the driver drove his car to the address listed on the booking application.

“Mbak, where does it stop? Here the hell is already corresponding point in the application..” Said the taxi driver who then sidestepped his cab and stopped.

“Eng, please Sir.. I contact my friend first...” Ning then contacted the customer named Farida while looking back and forth from the car door glass that he dropped.

“Aduh... why not lift-lift anyway...” He murmured in his heart. Ning returned to dial Farida's number, because he never got an answer.

He got out of the taxi and stood next to the car, spreading his gaze while talking to Farida.

Ning, who was still waiting for Farida's arrival, suddenly saw from a distance two people who had just stepped out of the car. He watched the two men who were about twenty meters away from him closely. Both of them entered a gate. Ning kept watching him. Krena he sure knows the two men.

“What are they doing there?” muttered Ning inwardly.

Suddenly someone patted Ning's back from behind and made her aghast. He turned to look at the man.

“Mbak Ningrat huh?” ask a woman.

“Mother Farida?” Ning asked back, because all this time Ocha always delivered his order, so Ning did not recognize the customer.

“Iya, I'm Farida. Sorry I waited a long time...”.

“Oh, iy it's okay...”.

“Where is my order item?” ask Farida.

“Oh, still in the cab, Mom...”.

“Let my employees take him...” said Farida.

“Iya, Bu ..”

“Let's go to my house first, all checking the completeness of the goods....” Bring along.

“Iya, let's bu...”

Ning then left with Farida and her employees who brought the ordered goods. The two walked about a hundred meters from the stop of the taxi that Ning was riding. Not only that, it turned out that Farida's house went into the alley again.

“So his taxi stopped a distance, Mbak.. Whereas if you stop in front here closer...” Said Farida as she was about to enter the alley.

“Iya, Sorry Mom .. I'm first time here.. Usually Ocha nganter....”.

“Yes, usually Mbak Ocha.

Eventually the three men arrived at Farida's house, and immediately checked for items adjusted to the purchase note.

“Em, Mom... There was a dark green gate, whose house is it?” Ning still seemed to be curious about the place he had seen earlier.

“High green color gate? Which are the two guards?” ask Farida to make sure.

“Iy Yes, Bu ...” Ning nodded while remembering.

“Oh, it's a family burial place..”.

“Hah? Cemetery?” ask Ning astonished.

“Iya, funeral.. But the place is like a park, because it is always treated to keep it clean and not look serem he said…. Though the land as large as it can be built a luxurious house, uh instead used as a burial place.” he said at length.

“Unfortunately the burial place is still new?” Ning looked increasingly curious.

“Udah old it .. In the past there were no houses like now, just the land was used by the cemetery..”.

“Oh, that's it...” Ning was starting to understand.

After checking, Farida made payment to Ning with cash. Then Ning went home. But he who seemed still curious, walked to the place he had talked about earlier with Farida.

When he reached the gate, he saw someone sitting there right next to a tomb. He put his cell phone in his bag after ordering an online motorcycle taxi.

“Sorry, Ma'am... What is the need?” asked a man who approached Ning in a black uniform. He seems to be a guard there.

“Eng, not sir... I just feel familiar with the mother.... em, can I enter?” ning pointed inward.

“Sorry, Ma'am.. All allowed to enter is family members only, others are prohibited from entering, except coming with family members..”.

“Whose family's funeral is there?” tanya Ning was curious.

“Here big family cemetery Sahulekha and Danubrata.

“What? Sahulekha?” Ning was surprised to hear one of the family surnames that was no stranger to him.

“Iya...”.

“So, that's inside really big lady Sahulekha?” tanya Ning made sure.

“Betul, do you know him?” the guard asked back.

“Oh, Big madam is on pilgrimage to Non Diandra's tomb huh?” ning said guessing, because all she knew was that her son, the great lady who had died, was Diandra, Nana's mother.

“Not, Ma'am.. Sorry, Ma'am... Today there will be many people coming here... If there is no interest, you should not interfere with my work...” His words sounded to drive away Ning.

“Some have died?” ask Ning.

“Not... Today is exactly one year the death of the son of Madam____”.

Tin

There was the sound of a car horn that was about to park and accompanied by another car behind him.

“Sorry, once again I am busy.. Please leave this place...” The guard really kicked Ning out.

“Iy yes... Sorry, Sir..” Ning who looked confused, left the place and seemed to think of something.

Tin

“Sorry, with Mbak Ningrat?” suddenly there was a motor stop near Ning and greeted him.

“Hah? Meaning?” Ning was like a dazed person.

“Mbak Ningrat order ojek online?” ask the biker.

“Oh, iy yes, I ordered...” Ning, who had just regained consciousness, then got on the bike and sat behind the driver who gave him the helmet. After Ning wore a helmet, the motorbike immediately drove towards the destination address.

Along the way Ning kept thinking about the gatekeeper's words earlier. Until he reached his workplace home, he continued to daydream while sitting on the terrace chair.

“Non, I noticed from earlier daydreaming continuously... What is non?” tanya Siti approached.

“Eng ”What is Siti... Ning denies.

“Non sick? I called Ocha or Mr. Doctor yes..” he said he looked worried.

“No need Siti, I'm fine .. You take care of the job…. “Ucapnya then get up and go inside. He went into his room and sat in the boss's chair. Siti continued to follow.

“Kak Siti, this is how Mas Athar orders, he said there are still less goods Said one of the officers from the doorway.

“Oh my goodness, you guys how the hell, not very careful..” Siti's gerutu who seems annoyed at his employees. He then went to take care of the matter and left Ning in his room.

Hearing a familiar name, Ning recalled a man named Athar.

“Yeah... it turns out I have been operated on for a year.. Thanks to the mysterious donor.... Thanks to you, I can still live until now, neither the doctor nor the hospital told me who my life-giving hero was..” murmured and then sighed.

He sat leaning back and swayed his chair to the right and to the left with the calendar still in his hands. It seems that someone is disturbing his mind. For a while he kept on daydreaming.

“Non... miss.. Miss Ning....” Siti called Ning up a few times

“Iy, yes... What's up Siti?” Ning was aghast, until he accidentally dropped the calendar from his hand onto the floor.

“Do not dream on Non.. Later can kesambet loh?” said Siti who helped get the calendar.

“What's Siti?”

“I just want to ask, Miss what lunch?” he said, staring at the calendar in his hand. “Why is today's date circled? Uh wait, why is there an operation word here?” he said he looked at the calendar.

“Consider today the first birthday for my new kidney...” Said Ning then stood up.

“Hah? It turns out that it has been a year, it feels like just yesterday Miss operated...”.

“Iya, hehe...”.

“I remember very well, that day early in the morning Miss convulsions and fainting long after dialysis..I got a fog, especially Mr. Daniel looks anxious and chaotic… And that day was the last time I saw Mr. Daniel.” Said Siti reminiscing about that day, until she only realized something when she saw Ning's facial expression.

“Eh, Sorry Non.. I do not mean____”

“Gak what's ko Siti..”.

“This is the calendar, Non..” Siti handed over the calendar, and Ning looked back at the date she circled.

He was silent again, deep in thought. Speech-by-speech related to that date, filled his head. Even the words that had long ago flashed back in his head.

‘Operation.. Last time saw Mr. Daniel.. Today is one year the death of his son Madam... Dady went a long way... We will not meet again’.

Ning smothered her own mouth with a look of shock. And he dropped his calendar again.

“Non .. Miss why?” ask Siti to panic.

“Siti.... What did you say? last seen Mr Daniel?” he still had a look of shock.

“Iy yes.. Eng, miss forget it... Suppose I never say that, hehehe...”.

“When last time you saw Mr Daniel?” Ning repeated the question.

“Already Non, forget it.. Later Miss can be sad again.. I've forgotten...” Siti continues to avoid.

“When was the last time you saw Daniel, Siti??!” Ning, who never got Siti's answer, finally snapped at her employee.

“Eng, anu .. anu it.. eng... that night before miss surgery, Mr. Daniel went to the doctor and went into the surgery prep room.

“Say what Siti?” Ning clutched both of Siti's arms.

“Eng, if not mistaken doctor says gini ‘ you are ready Daniel?’ keep Mr. Daniel nodding and saying ‘iya’...” Siti answered confidently and was frightened to see Ning who seemed to be getting angry at her.

“What? He entered the operation preparation room and said like that.. You are sure Siti?”.

“Iy yes, I am sure.. I did not mishear kok... And that was the last time I saw Mr. Daniel, because when he entered, I was taken away by Mr. Riko to the hospital room miss...”.

Ning released Siti's arm. He returned to smother his mouth. His body felt weak, so he lost balance and dropped his body to sit on the floor. His eyes stared blankly, but tears suddenly flowed. Ning looks so shocked.

“Non... miss is okay...” Siti shook Ning's body.

“Negak ... engak .. it is impossible...” Instead of answering Ning instead said something else.

“Non... miss why?” The city is panicking.

Ning who had just regained consciousness, wiped away the trace of her tears. He stood up, picked up the bag and rushed out.

Siti who felt increasingly anxious, immediately followed Ning. she walked quickly down the alley of the shortcut, until the two reached the front of the highway.

Ning stopped a taxi, then he entered as well as Siti. After Ning mentioned his destination address, the driver drove his car.

Along the way Ning who was sitting leaned slanted to the car door with a blank look, she was constantly shedding tears. I don't know what's on his mind. It seemed that Siti who was sitting next to him was as if she was unaware of his presence.

After traveling for 30 minutes, the taxi arrived at its destination. Ning came out just after the driver stopped the vehicle. Siti followed after paying her fare.

It turned Ning back to the front of the dark green gate again. He shook the door so he could enter the cemetery with tears. His eyes were fixed on the grave which saw many flowers there.

“Hey, who are you?” the guard approached Ning who he thought was making a scene.

Ning directed his gaze at the guard.

“Pak... earlier father said that today is exactly one year the death of the Madam's son, right?"

“Iya is right…."

“Why did he die? hiks hiks...”.

“If it's not wrong, he died after a while after the operation" said the guard.

“What? After operation?” Ning is back in shock.

“Iya...” nod the guard.

“Gak .. is not possible…. That is impossible.. huaaaaaaa..” Ning cried hysterically, he rubbed his head rough, until his body felt weak and unconscious.

Bruck….

“Nona...” Siti immediately approached, the guard helped Ning and took her to the post. He was laid on a long chair inside.

Siti immediately contacted Ocha and also Singgih from using Ning's phone. Before long the two came together, even from different places.

Stop immediately checked Ning's situation, and before long he also regained consciousness. Slowly he opened his eyes.

“Ning... You okay?” said Singgih looked worried.

Instantly Ning opened her eyes wide. He looked around and got up and sat down. When he looked outside, he remembered. He got up and ran towards the gate. Ocha, Siti, Singgih and the guards followed Ning.

Ning came back crying with a hand that kept shaking the iron gate.

“Ning... What's wrong with you..” asked Singgih to feel strange and astonished.

“Huaaa…. Huaaaa..” Ning continued to cry without being able to say a word.

“Ning should we go home...” says Ocha.

“Gak... no way I don't want to go home, huhuhuhuhu…. I'm going there, I'm going there..” Ning pointed to the tomb.

“Where, Ning?” tanya Singgih was astonished and confused.

Ning looked towards Singgih, he just remembered that Singgih still had something to do with the Sahulekha family.

“Mas... please take me inside.. I beg you... I beg, huhuhuhu...” Ning tugged at Singgih's arm, begging her with tears.

“Iy yes...” Singgih who looks still confused followed Ning's wishes. He asked the guards to open the gate.

Ning instantly ran without caring about anyone. Her steps stopped in front of a grave with a bouquet of flowers, and her navel was filled with flowers.

Tears kept flooding his cheeks.

Ning crouched down beside the navel. His hand touched the tomb made of marble with tears.

“Why are you doing this? Why sacrifice so much for me, Mr. Om.” His screams in his heart, his lips felt like he was unable to say. His eyes were fixed on the tombstone. He read the date of death listed there.

“Huaaaaaa... huaaaa...” His tears broke again, he gathered and hugged the tomb.

“Ning.. lo don't kayak gini Ning... Pamali crying over the grave....” Ocha who was crouching tried to get Ning up, but he ignored her. She was crying hysterically.

Halfway up who looked confused, could only stand with the guards, seeing what Ning was doing. Though in his heart was filled with question marks.

“What is Ning's relationship with him? Why did Ning cry like that?” muttered Halfway in the heart.

“Huaaaa... huaaaa.

“Ning istigfar Ning, istigfar Ocha tried to calm down.

“Gue is useless, Cha... I always bring bad luck to others, huaaaaaaaaa..”.

“Udah, Ning.. lo don't kayak gini..”.

“He died, Cha.... He doesn't exist. And it's all because of me, huhuhuhuhu...”.

“Lo do not cry like gini, it is not good Ning cry in the grave.. Lo send the prayer better…. Come here wake up..” Ocha pulled Ning's body, and he got up and sat down on the grass beside the tomb. Ocha immediately hugged him.

“Istigfar Ning... Istigfar He said and Ning began to look calm despite still crying with a face full of regret and was so hit.
