“Hello, Zav. Ranum in hospital now.” Without further ado Arvin told Zaviyar the information he got.
“Astaghfirullohal'adhimiim. What happened to Ranum?” There was panic from Zaviyar's voice.
The news that had just been heard, made Arvin quite panicked until he forgot to ask what happened to Ranum. Only the address of the hospital where the girl was treated was asked.
“Okey, send the hospital address. I'll go there soon" Zaviyar said across the phone.
The phone connection ended and Arvin immediately drove his motorbike to the hospital.
Shortly after, Arvin arrived at the hospital. He immediately sought information on Ranum's whereabouts. When heading to the ER, Arvin met the person who had given him the news and also helped Ranum. From that person he knew what had happened to the sharp-eyed girl.
Long enough Arvin waited, until finally he could see the doctor who handled Ranum and asked the condition of the sweet girl. His worries were slightly lessened after hearing directly from the doctor. Although previously he was really afraid of bad things happening to Ranum who had been unconscious for some time due to injuries to his head.
By evening, Zaviyar arrived at the hospital where Ranum was treated with Pak Qosim, Bu Dini, and of course Bu Ratih. Arvin who had never met them before, just guessed and then approached to make sure that they were Ranum's family.
A brief introduction took place between Arvin and four people who had just arrived at the hospital. Arvin then shows where Ranum's ward is. They walked down the hospital hallway while talking about Ranum's condition.
“Actually how did it happen, Vin? Do you know?” Zaviyar who was listening, spoke up.
Arvin is back. He said what the witness who helped Ranum said earlier and took the sweet girl to the hospital.
“It happened so fast. According to the man who contacted me. Ranum came out of the turn in his boarding alley when there was a mugging. Jambret who wants to run away riding his motorbike ugal-ugalan.”
“Then Ranum got hit by that snatcher motor?” sela Zaviyar's.
“Skeleton. But because of the speed of his motorbike that was not controlled, Ranum slammed quite hard and just fell his head hit the rock. That's what I heard from the witness. Fortunately the wound on his head was not severe and not until the bleeding was fatal."
“How about the snatch and the person who got snatched?” Mr. Qosim.
“The snapshot managed to escape, Om and the woman who got snatched survived. He came here and apologized, but I told him to go home without waiting for you. I could not see his frightened face. Looks like she's also still a student.”
“It's okay. No need to prolong the problem, the important thing is that nothing bad happened to Ranum. Thank you, Vin,” Zaviyar said.
They arrive in front of Ranum's ward. one by one enter and see Ranum who is still asleep because of the medicine. Bu Ratih stepped quickly past the others and held his daughter's hand with tears that could no longer be dammed.
Early ma'am who saw that approached Bu Ratih who was already sitting on the chair next to the bed where Ranum was lying. His outstretched hand held both shoulders of Bu Ratih, giving strength.
After a few minutes, Arvin invited Zaviyar out to speak with four eyes. Arvin and out of the room followed Zaviyar towards the quiet waiting room.
“Sorry, it's been a hassle,” said Zaviyar.
“Not a problem.”
Arvin, who no longer wanted to mince words, immediately brought the conversation to the seriousness of the girl who was now lying weakly in the ward.
“Are you still angry with Ranum?” ask Arvin.
“No, maybe I just need an explanation after this.”
“Ranum good girl, she is also loyal type. You should know that.”
A long breath sounded from Arvin.
“You know how Ranum looked like when he met me three days ago?”
Arvin turned his head, looking at the figure of the man beside him. Zaviyar did not answer his question.
“Very messed up. There was no cheerful smile from his lips, his eyes also implied a deep sadness. She's afraid of losing you.”
“Do you also know the reason why Ranum just wanted to give you an answer that day? What scares her and how is her past?”
Zaviyar. He remained low without returning Arvin's gaze.
"It's a good thing what happened today wasn't fatal. If something bad happens, don't you regret it?"
"Yes, I was wrong to have silenced Ranum lately. Let him think of all himself." Zaviyar who had been silent since then, now dared to speak.
"You're wrong, Zav. You should listen to her explanation first if you really love Ranum. You certainly understand what is implied by his eyes."
Arvin sighed. His eyes were staring at the hospital wall. For a moment and again said, "If you don't want to take care of her anymore. Untie her. I'll take care of him" said Arvin with emphasis.
Arvin's last sentence makes a view of Zaviyar that actually leads to the wall and floor. Now looking at Arvin.
"Yes, I've been interested in Ranum for a long time. Since the first time I met him."
Zaviyar looked on not understanding. "But why haven't you shown her that all this time?"
Arvin smiled faintly and looked at Zaviyar, "Because ever since I first met him, I already knew that his heart had been filled by someone else and."
Arvin told me about the first time he met Ranum a few months ago. When Ranum gets a call from someone, until the change in the look of his face after receiving a call from the person.
"After several conversations, both chat and phone. I realized that the person who called him was you" Arvin said.
The two fell silent after a long explanation from Arvin. Silent.
"After Ranum wakes up and is healthy again, what will you do?" tanya Arvin broke the silence.
"I'll propose to him" Zaviyar replied with confidence.
Arvin's left hand patted Zaviyar's shoulder and said, "Good! If you don't do that, I'll do it first and take it away from you." Arvin smiled and got up from his seat.
They walked hand in hand still with his chatter towards the room where Ranum was being treated. Until there, it turns out Ranum has opened his eyes.
"Mas Zav" Ranum said as he watched Zaviyar and Arvin enter.
Zaviyar and Arvin are approaching. Early Mom who was standing right next to the bed, shifted a little away. Likewise, Ms. Ratih who sat on the chair next to the bed, she stood up and gave time to her children.
"Yes, Ra," Zaviyar replied after sitting on the chair.
"I'm sorry, Mom." A speck of clear flowed from the corner of Ranum's eye.
"I'm wrong for not hearing you first."
"Sst .. No, don't talk about it just yet. You better take a break" said Zaviyar softly.
"Well, Arvin who waited longer you didn't say anything?" Zaviyar turned towards Arvin.
"I'm sorry, I took care of you. It must have been you who got here first" Ranum guessed.
"Wuih, sweet lady seems to want to be a fortune teller no longer aware," joked Arvin who followed a small laugh all the occupants of the room, except Ranum who just smiled.
A few minutes Arvin spent talking to Ranum and Zaviyar and their parents. Then, the athletic man resigned himself to everything. He left the hospital with Zaviyar to the parking lot.
"Remember my words! If you go over, I will bring Ranum," said Arvin from the bike with a smile that is no less charming than the smile of Zaviyar.
"Ready! Take it easy, after this I will take care of Ranum forever."
Arvin gave a thumbs up then with his motor out splitting the road Malang city back to his home.
The Maghrib prayer came from the hospital mosque. Zaviyar and Pak Qosim went to congregational prayers at the mosque, while Bu Ratih and Bu Dini prayed in the ward while taking turns to keep Ranum.
After Isya prayer, Ranum who is still affected by drugs has fallen asleep. However, the three people who were in the room alternately saw the sharp-eyed girl's state.
As everyone sat in the available chairs in the room, Mrs Ratih began to tell her about Ranum's past. How his father was sick and died and some events that happened to Ranum after his father died.
"A few months before I got sick. Ranum had run away from school. I don't know what makes it that way, when he was a quiet kid and didn't dare to do strange things."
"Nearly after the call from the school, he fell ill and his condition worsened until he died."
Mr. Ratih explained the situation of Ranum after the death of his father. Ranum was devastated and always blamed himself for the death of his father. He felt that due to his behavior his father was sick and died.
For years Ranum tried to rise and it was Bu Ratih who always reminded his daughter that what happened was God's destiny. Ranum finally got back up again when he knew the figure of a young man.
"One day Ranum gets to know a man, and he promises to marry Ranum. Of course Ranum's heart is happy after a long time he lost the Father, the male figure on which he rests."
Mrs Ratih stopped and sighed, looking at Ranum who was lying on the hospital bed with teary eyes.
"But .. after the application event and the date of the wedding have been determined. The man suddenly canceled his wedding plans with Ranum."
Now the tears of Mrs Ratih are no longer contained. Ms. Early who sat beside him, grabbed onto Ms. Ratih's shoulder and joined in tears.
"Two times Ranum experienced something similar, failure to establish a relationship with men made Ranum fall back. But, after the second time, Ranum completely closed his heart to the male. He doesn't want any more heartache."
Madam Ratih wiped her tears and looked at Zaviyar. "But somehow after getting to know Zaviyar boy, Ranum was excited again. Ranum seemed to find the light again."
Zaviyar who heard that approached Bu Ratih and held both hands of the middle-aged woman.
"I'm sorry the old Ranum didn't give you any certainty. Not because he doesn't love it, but maybe he just wants to make sure of everything. The past scared him. Actually he loves you very much and is afraid of losing you, son," said Mrs Ratih as she stared fixedly at the young man who was now sitting in front of her.
"Zaviyar is sorry, ma'am because Zaviyar was too selfish and emotional yesterday. Sorry for hurting Ranum so much that something like this has to happen to him."
Mrs Ratih pulled her hand from Zaviyar's grasp and rubbed the shoulder of the shady-faced man gently. Mr. Qosim and Ms. Dini just kept quiet and listened. Letting Zaviyar solve on his own.
"Already, Son. Not your fault or who. This is his way. Everything that happens must have a silver lining and maybe after this you will find happiness."
"Aamiin," said Mr. Qosim, Bu Dini, and Zaviyar almost simultaneously.
"Mom, do you still trust me to take care of Ranum?" ask Zaviyar with a hopeful look at the woman who has given birth to the girl he loves.
A nod and a smile became the answer from Bu Ratih to Zaviyar's question.
"Then, did Mom allow me to marry Ranum?"
"Of course, Son. Because I know how Ranum's heart is to you and I believe that you will always take care of him and make him happy" said Mrs Ratih so gently.
The smiles of Zaviyar and her parents grew in the increasingly quiet night.
***
Mentari back up. His light barged in through the window greeting the girl lying on the hospital bed. Ranum who was sound asleep all night began to squirm. The girl groaned in pain as she moved and tried to get up.
Zaviyar and the others who were in the room immediately turned their heads towards Ranum. Zaviyar immediately got up from his seat and moved quickly closer to the sweet girl.
"Why, Ra?" There was worry on Zaviyar's face.
"It's okay, Mom. Maybe I was too stubborn."
"What do you want?"
"You sit down, tired."
Hearing that Bu Ratih and Bu Dini approached, helping Ranum to sit down. Mr. Ratih took the food that had been delivered by the nurse and fed Ranum.
After eating, Ranum asked for time to get to talk with Zaviyar. Mrs Ratih agreed to her daughter's request and let them talk together.
"What's up, Ra?" ask Zaviyar who was sitting near Ranum's bed.
"Mas, I want to clear everything up."
"No need to." Zaviyar answered quickly.
"But, Mas ...”
"I know everything. I told you last night. So, please forgive me for being stupid for letting you think things through on your own." Look at Zaviyar at Ranum.
"Ma." Zaviyar was still staring at Ranum fixedly, making the heart of the girl in front of him now tauter.
"Are you willing to marry me?"
