NINGRAT Between Him And Duda

Past Trauma

“Dok, how is Brother Ros?” ask Singgih when the doctor just finished checking Rosmala's condition in the ER Room.

“The tension is quite high, 160/90.. Does the patient have a history of high blood pressure? Or go into shock?” ask doctor.

“So Mrs Ros cried hysterically at the thought of her dead son, Doc..” Said Ning answering the doctor's question.

“To my knowledge Brother Rosmala has no history of high blood, Doc.. In fact usually low blood pressure tends to be normal..” Even come to answer.

“Oh so yes... After the patient is aware, the uterus will provide blood pressure-lowering drugs... And after the patient's condition improves, it can only go home..”.

“Thank you, Doc...” said Singgih who then went behind the curtain in the ER room to approach the lying Rosmala still unconscious. Ning came in.

“Dino... Dino Rosmala was delirious with her eyes still closed.

“Sister, Sister Rosmala..” Stop talking to her to wake Rosmala up.

Rosmala regained her senses and slowly opened her eyes. He spreads his view. “Em, where is this, Gih?” he said he looked weak with a raucous voice.

“At the hospital..So brother Ros passed out...” said Singgih.

“Engh, I want to go home, Gih...” Said he was about to wake up.

“Kak Ros if still dizzy, just lie down first.. Soon also Bang Aufar came...So I have given it...” said Singgih.

“I'm fine, really…. Which bag am I?” tanyanya forced to get up, then sit down.

“This is the bag, Mrs Ros..” said Ning gave me a Rosmala bag, then took mineral water from a crackle bag that was placed on the chair. He unscrewed the bottle and thrust it at Rosmala. “Fine mistress drink first..”.

“Impressed Ning...” he then drank it.

“Before a while, I went to the nurse to take medicine...” said Singgih, then left.

Rosmala, who still looks dizzy, massages her head. He opened the bag and took something from it.

“Ning... before Dino died, he left this for you. Sorry, I just gave it, I forgetfulness and just remembered yesterday when cleaning things in Dino's room....” Her speech gave her a brown envelope inscribed with Ning's name.

“What is this?” Ning accepted it despite feeling confused.

“Looks mail...” Rosmala.

“Tapi_____”

“Singgih, where's Ros? How's it going?” a voice sounded from someone not far from behind the curtain. Ning did not continue his words, he immediately put the envelope in his bag.

“Sayang... You why? Singgih said you passed out at the family cemetery..” His words that arrived came in to approach Rosmala and looked so worried about the state of Ros. Ning stepped slowly to get out.

“Mama is fine, Pa... Just inget Dino aja, kok...” Say it with a smile.

“What's up? Your eyes are so swollen, until fainting and brought here..”.

“Mama is okay, just inget Dino aja....”

“Other times if you want Dino's tomb, we just go there.. Do not go alone again like before..”.

“Pah, mama wants to go home yes..” her request to the husband.

“Later after doctor allowed it...” Aufar.

Smentara outside the curtain Singgih approached Ning.

“Wait a minute, I give this medicine first all goodbye to Bang Aufar and brother Ros..” Say a Halfway to Ning who was standing outside the curtain.

“Then I wait outside, Mas...”.

“Iya...”.

Stop by and enter to give the medicine, and soon he comes out again. He approached Ning who was already outside the ER room.

“You just wait here, I'll go to the parking lot first take the car...”.

“Iya. Mas...”

“Papa..” Suddenly there was a cry of a little boy running towards Ning and Singgih.

“Loh, who are you here, baby?” tanya Singgih wonder who found her daughter suddenly appeared alone.

“Sama Oma equals Om Ofar.. tuh oma her....” Nana pointed towards the woman who was walking towards her.

“Nana dear, do not like running around that, dong... Oma is old, can not catch up with you..” said Oma who Ning knows as Madam Sahulekha.

“Loh, Mami came here too?” asked Singgih astonished, Ning looked even more astonished.

“Hah? Since when did the big madam consider Nana her grandson? Mumbled Ning in a heart full of question marks.

“Of course Mami comes here.. Mami worries about the state of Ros..” He then turned to look towards Ning. “Gih, you came with him?” tanyanya looked in wonder.

“Iy yes, Mami...” said Singgih.

“Good day, big lady...” Sapa Ning's.

“Hmm, noon.. It has been a long time yes we did not meet...” He said and smiled brightly.

“Iy yes, Mistress..eng, sorry I am the current go immediately, excuse me...” Ning, who was still surprised, chose to leave before he listened to the big lady's words that would hurt his feelings, even more so he was afraid that he would bring up Athar and himself.

“Ning, wait...” A stopover who felt awry between staying there and delivering her former in-laws, or chasing after Ning who just passed by.

“You pursue him only, Gih... Mami wants to enter see the state of Ros...” Said the big madam as if understanding what Singgih wanted to do.

“Oma, Nana wants to join Papa...” Nana Pinta.

“Iya darling…. Here hug kiss oma first..” His voice crouched down and spread out his hands. Nana immediately hugged and kissed the cheek of her oma.

“We went home first Mami .. I'm sorry I couldn't deliver mami inside...” Seemed to feel bad.

“No problem... there seems to be more important things that you have to take care of,” he said smiling.

“Assalamualaikum, Oma Nana said after kissing her oma hand.

“Wa’alaikumsalam.. Be careful yes, dear..”.

Stop holding Nana and immediately chased after Ning who was seen walking towards the hospital gate. Singgih yelled for Ning to stop his steps, as well as Nana. It also stopped.

“Ning, you wait here with Nana... I take the car first...” He said then lowered Nana, so that Ning would not go home alone. He also obeyed the words of Singgih, because he could not bear to see Nana who embraced him.

*

The three are now on their way down the bustling urban streets smoothly.

“Loh, Mas... Where are we going?” ning asked as the car being driven by Singgih hugged into a restaurant.

“It's already three and a half hours, and you haven't eaten, have you? So before we go home, we eat first..”.

“Eh, yes.. My stomach feels hungry, hehehe...”.

They got out of the parked car and went into the restaurant and ate there.

After eating together, they went back on their way home. Ning sat in the front, next to the driver's seat, while Nana sat in the back seat.

When just half-way through the journey, Nana stands in the middle behind the dashboard that has a car handbrake, because she sees something from a distance that attracts her heart.

“Papa... papa.. we go there yuk... Nana wants to play first,” said Nana pointed to a round object that rotates upwards visible from that distance.

“Alright princess... but you have to ask the same person sitting there...” Said Singgih glancing at Ning.

Ning who looked busy with her phone, turned to Nana and just nodded also smiling as a sign of agreement. He refocused on his phone screen and replied to some incoming chat. A few hours ago, he was forced to leave his job.

“Hore hooray Nana cheered happily, Singgih also drove a car to the place.

“Papa... Nana wants to ride a prick, same horse, same, ship, same train, same buy cotton candy..” Nana who was so happy, did not stop babbling at her papa who was driving.

Degs…

Ning who heard Nana's rambling, immediately stopped her fingers that were still typing messages. His chest started to beat. He set his eyes forward, and it turned out that his car was approaching the newly opened night market area.

Stopping the car for a moment on the side of the road, he looked around to find a parking lot.

“Aaaaaaakkkkk…. Aaaakkkk Ning suddenly shouted. His hands closed his ears and he closed his eyes. “Aaaaaakkk…. Aaaaakkkk Ning kept shouting hysterically.

“Ning... Ning you why?” Singgih was surprised to see Ning hysterically like that. “Ning... Ning you why?” Stop back asking, he touched Ning's shoulder.

“Do not.. Do not come here.. Take me home.. I do not want to be here...aaaaakkkkk.... huaaaaaaaaa Ning was getting hysterical, until she cried in fear.

“Kak kelai why? Huaaaaaa..” Nana who was surprised suddenly cried, she looked frightened to see Ning hysterically like that.

“Honey, you don't cry yes...” The panicked-looking Singgih saw the hysterical Ning as well as her daughter crying. He held Nana and held her in his lap in a position to hug her body.

“Huaaa…. I want to go home.. don't be here.. huaaaa...” Ning who was still closing her eyes and closing her ears again screamed while crying hysterically.

“Iya yes, Ning.. Please calm yourself ... Look, Nana so scared like this, Ning...” said Singgih who was getting panicked.

“I want to go home…. I want to go home, hhuhuhuhu...” Ning did not change Singgih's words and kept shouting.

“Iya yes we will go home..” He said then by rubbing his daughter's head. “Darling, you do not cry yes..we just go home yes, later again play it...” Singgih calmed his daughter.

He drove back his car leaving the night market and drove Nong home immediately.

When Ning found out his car was speeding up, she immediately stopped screaming. His breathing sounded heavy, boring like running a marathon. His face looked pale and sweat soaked his face mixed with tears.

He looked at the car door with a blank look. The face of his parents was clearly visible in his head, making him unable to stop the tears that continued to pour. He is unable to speak. He closed his eyes.

“Cry, if it will calm you down. I promise I will always be near you to protect you...” The speech was ringing in Ning's head, as if Athar was whispering in his ear. Because that was what Athar once said when Ning was terrified.

Ning opened her eyes and placed a palm on her chest with tears still pouring out. Now all that is imagined is the face of Athar who was so missed, as if he was alone there. Not even Nana's sobbing sound went into her ears.

Slowly he began to calm down and when he regained consciousness he saw the yard of his house.

Ning directly opened the door when the car just stopped. He immediately came out and ran into his house without saying a word. While Singgih who looks confused and anxious, continues to calm his sobbing daughter.

“It's a pity.. we've reached Ning's sister's house.. We go down yes...” he said rubbing the shoots of his daughter's head that buried her face in her chest.

“Gak want... Nana is afraid.. hiks hyks,” he said sniffling while shaking his head.

“Nothing dear.. Maybe brother Ning is afraid of the clown that was in the market last night, so he cried..Udah yes dear yes, we go down first ..” Back to persuading.

“Gak want... hiks ..”Nana still do not want to go down.

“Oh, so Nana is no longer dear to Ning?” said Singgih who still persuades.

“Sa-the, hiks hiks...”.

“If dear, Nana stops crying yes.. Papa wants to check her condition Brother Ning, Papa is a doctor..”.

Nana nodded and stopped her crying. Stop down with heart to avoid the head of his daughter was not hit, because Nana did not want to escape from the arms of his father.

He walked by holding his daughter into the yard of Ning's house. Just before the door of the house opened, Ocha came to him.

“Ning why else, Mr Doctor?” tanya Ocha showed a look of displeased face standing in the door goal. How not, after seeing Ning crying hysterically at the cemetery, now he saw his best friend's face was damp and pale.

“I also do not know.. Ning suddenly shouted hysterically and cried...”.

“Hah? Is Ning crying for no reason? Did the Doctor hurt him?” ask Ocha to investigate.

“I did not feel hurt him..So he was fine, I was also confused..Nana just to cry in fear seeing Ning yell hysterically in the car earlier..”.

“Shouting hysterically? Where did the Doctor take Ning?” ask Ocha curious.

“Tadi on the way, Nana saw there is a firefly from a distance.. Nana wanted to go there and I also fulfilled Nana's request with Ning's approval..”.

“What? A bianglala? Means Mr Doctor brought Ning to the night market?” Ocha was surprised.

“Iya, it happens that the night market just opened...”.

“Yeah... pantesan aja he like that...” Ocha now knew the cause of Ning crying hysterically.

“Now where is Ning? I want to see it...” Look around inside the house.

“Don't.. Don't be, Mr. .. You'd better get the doctor and Nana home...” Ocha gave me advice.

“Loh, why? We are very worried about the state of Ning..”.

“Free sir, want to bang the door until the somersault or in the bomb too, Ning if again like it will not want to meet anyone.. Let him alone in his room … Later also if you are calm and aware, will come out alone..”.

“Hah? Why?”

“I tell ya Sir.. Pak Doctor never once brought Ning to a place called night market..” Ocha makes clear the word night market.

“Why?” ask Singgih wonder.

“Ning the same trauma whose name is the night market and darkness let alone accompanied by lightning rain.

“Trauma?” Come back to ask.

“Iya.. Formerly his father and stepmother died in an accident when they just returned home with Ning from the night market… But because he experienced it and saw with his own eyes his father died with blood on his head, it left a deep trauma for Ning.” Ocha explains the cause of Ning's trauma.

“Yeah... it turns out like that.. I'm sorry, because I really don't know about it...” said Singgih regretfully.

“Iya is okay, now you know.. So you should just go home Doctor.. I'm sorry, not the intention to expel, and again pity, Nana was still afraid to meet Ning..”.

“Alright, then we sign first .. But, if there is anything please contact me immediately yes...” said Singgih.

“Iya, Sir.. once again I apologize.. If you can in two or three days do not contact or see Ning first..”.

“Alright, I understand.. Kal so I excuse you.. Assalamualaikum....”.

“Wa’alaikumsalam.. heart-heart, sir..”.

With a heavy heart Singgih also moved away. He and his daughter got back in the car, then he drove the car.

Ocha closed the door, then turned on the television and sat down to watch as Ning waited to get out of her room.

*

Along the way Singgih kept thinking about the new thing he knew about Ning. Sometimes he glanced at his daughter who was sound asleep in the seat next to him.

“It turns out Ning has a deep trauma from her past, as I experienced after the departure of Mr. and Diandra..” murmured inwardly.
