Ranums

DOCTOR LESLEY

A sentence so sweet slid beautifully from the mouth of the man sitting in front of him. Zaviyar managed to make Ranum's heart almost stop beating so happy.

Ranum was no longer able to hide his sense of smell over what he had just heard. Tears began to fall on his cheeks, but a happy twinkle emanated from his face that looked still pale.

"Mas Zav, I don't dream anymore, do I?" Ranum convinced himself.

Zaviyar shook his head slowly and remained with his gaze on Ranum then said, "It's real, Ra. Are you willing to marry me?" Zaviyar repeated his words.

Ranum no longer makes a sound, his tears are sliding.

"Ra, don't cry. We're not halal yet, I can't hug you yet" Zaviyar joked.

"Mas Zav whatan, anyway. Melow was also joking." Ranum began to wipe away his tears that had already drenched his cheeks.

"What do you want, Ra?"

"Still need me to answer? Does Mas Zav not know my heart yet?"

"I know, but I want to hear it from you. So, do you want to be the wife and mother of my children?"

Ranum's tears shed unstoppably. A few moments quiet. Just a few tears and a few nods to Ranum's answer to Zaviyar without being able to speak.

"By the way, Ra. I want to hear it straight from your mouth."

"I want to, Mas. Sure wants. I don't want any more misunderstandings like yesterday to happen again" said Ranum, who started sobbing.

"Sorry, Ra. I'm sorry for being selfish. I promise after this I'll learn better, learn to know you better. Therefore, please tell me whatever happens to you. What do you think and feel, tell me, Ra. Tell and tell me everything."

"Yes, Mas. But, Zav also has to be honest no matter what."

"certain. Sorry, I proposed to you here. I don't want to lose another chance."

Two people of different types whose hearts are dancing happily are still talking. Then the creaking of the door made the two turn to look at the door that was already open.

"Sorry, disturb." Arvin's smile unfolds without guilt entering Ranum's treatment room.

"Who from earlier?" ask Zaviyar.

"Lumayan."

"Congen't go in?" Ranum.

"Another romantic scene of time to be cut so that, nanggung."

The three laughed a little. Not long after Arvin arrived. Mrs Ratih, Ms Dini, and Mr. Qosim also came after looking for breakfast.

"Eh, is Arvin's son here too?" greetings Mrs Ratih.

"Yes, Mom. Just a few minutes ago came. Uh, I don't know if there's a romantic scene."

Mrs Ratih, Ms. Early and Mr. Qosim looked at each other with frowns and questionable expressions.

"Don't think about it, Bun, Dad. Arvin is overkill." Zaviyar confirmed as he glanced at Arvin who was smiling.

"Then?" Mom is looking for answers.

"There's someone who's proposed, Mom," said Arvin.

"And ... the result?" Mr. Qosim spoke up.

"Accepted," said Arvin who made the face pale Ranum met with red.

"Alhamdulillah," said the three parents who were in the room.

Excitement was clearly on the faces of the people who were in the hospital room. The conversation about Ranum and Zaviyar's wedding plans became the main topic of the day. While eating the food that was bought by Ms. Dini. Zaviyar kept talking to his parents and Arvin as well.

"Ra, you don't mind if our wedding is simple?" ask Zaviyar.

"No, Mas. Even Ranum wants it that way, enough family and close relatives are invited." A smile on Zaviyar's lips heard Ranum's reply.

***

A few days just lying in the hospital makes Ranum so happy when the doctor declares that he can go home. Zaviyar and Arvin immediately took care of his administration so that the sharp-eyed sweet girl could immediately leave the hospital and return to the house that had been left for days.

Mr. Ratih, Ms. Dini, and Mr. Qosim prepare in Ranum's ward, so that when the administration is completed they are ready to raise the hospital.

Ranum walked on the flank of Bu Ratih and Bu Dini who held and held the sweet girl. Although Ranum said that he was fine and could walk on his own, two middle-aged women beside him were unresponsive to him.

"I followed with the bike" said Arvin.

A car and motorcycle drove along the road of Malang city to Ranum village. Arriving home, Ranum was brought into the room to rest. The three men sat in the living room.

After Ranum splashed his body on the bed. Mrs Ratih prepared a drink in the kitchen and Ms. Dini accompanied Ranum in the room.

"Rest first, Num," Mom Dini rubbed Ranum's hands full of tenderness.

"Ranum's bored, Bun just keeps sleeping."

"The injury to your head hasn't completely healed. Remember the doctor's message." Ranum replied to Mom Dini with a smile.

Sorry said from Ranum's thin lips because it has troubled many people. Early Mom who knew Ranum from the beginning and loved him like her own daughter, rubbed the forehead of the girl who was lying in front of him lovingly.

"What do you want, son?" asked Bu Dini when she saw Ranum move.

Ranum did not answer and tried to sit with one hand holding the head that was still painful.

"Bun, can Ranum hug?" Without answering Ranum's question, Ms. Dini immediately hugged her future daughter-in-law tightly.

Ranum who felt the affection of Ms. Dini through her embrace, shed tears of happiness and haru. Only gratitude in Ranum's heart, now he was in the midst of people who loved him so much.

Mrs Ratih who had delivered drinks to the living room, went back into Ranum's room and smiled to see her daughter and Ms Dini. The story revolves between three women in a room that is not so big.

Bu Ratih conveyed how Ranum had been at home so that later if he had become Zaviyar's wife, Ms. Dini was no longer surprised. Several times Ranum blushed embarrassed when Bu Ratih told his nature, attitude, and habits to the prospective in-laws.

"This diet can not cook, Mom," said Mrs Ratih who again made Ranum look down embarrassed.

"Nothing important can take care of and care for Zaviyar inside out." The emphasis on the last words made Ranum's face turn red.

Laughter broke instantly between Bu Ratih and Bu Dini, until Zaviyar's voice stopped him.

"What's this about? How does it seem to be so sweet."

"Women's business" said Ms. Dini, who made Zaviyar crackle.

"Arvin wants to say goodbye, Mom, Bun" said Zaviyar.

"Well, hurry up. Here first, I want to cook and then we eat together first yes," pinta Bu Ratih.

Arvin seemed to think for a while, then said, "Alright, Mom. Disappointing parents is not good."

Mrs Ratih and Ms Early came out and headed for the kitchen to cook. The cuisine is simple because the food is only potluck. Ranum who was bored in the room, joined together others in the living room.

It didn't take long. Duet between Bu Ratih and Bu Dini in the kitchen, making the cooking event was completed faster. The food is ready at the dinner table. Everyone was sitting in their chairs facing the table.

The actual lunchtime was past time, it was fun with an atmosphere so warm that it was over. Mrs Ratih immediately cleaned the dining table, while the others returned to the living room with Ms Dini accompanying Ranum's steps.

While talking, there was a roar of motor entering the yard of Ranum's house that made the whole room set its gaze out the window. A figure who is no longer unfamiliar to Zaviyar is taking off his helmet and getting off his bike. Suddenly, Zaviyar's happy face changed.

"Assalamu'alaikum," said the guest when he found Ranum's crowded house was not as usual. But his eyes were fixed on the figure of Zaviyar who was sitting not far from Ranum.

"Wa'alaikumussalam," replied the people in the living room simultaneously.

Netra Ranum leads directly to Zaviyar. He was worried that Zaviyar's emotions were re-ignited. The young lecturer returned Ranum's gaze and before long the man's eyes slightly withered after previously implying a hint of anger.

Mr. Qosim, Arvin, and Ms. Dini who did not know who the guests who had just come, just looked in wonder at Zaviyar and Ranum. They caught a different face from the two.

"Well, Aldi?" Mrs Ratih who just came out of the kitchen was quite surprised to see the arrival of Aldi.

Hearing the name Aldi called, suddenly changed the direction of view three pairs of eyes turned to the figure of a man who was still standing in front of the door.

"Ehm. Sorry, ma'am if I'm interrupting. I just want to know the news of Ranum," said Aldi with a confused and nervous look got the gaze of everyone who was at Ranum's house.

"Sit down, Al." Mrs Ratih invited Aldi.

Bumbling Aldi sat on one of the empty seats between Arvin and Pak Qosim. The atmosphere that had previously been so cheerful and warm, had now turned very awkward. And finally Aldi ventured to ask, "How are you, Num?"

It was not Ranum's voice that answered the question, but a male voice that was so firm and emphasis.

"Ranum is fine and you don't have to worry. Because from now on, I'll take care of him. You just wait for our wedding invitation and I hope you can attend."
