RUMI: The Love of a Paralyzed Man

NOT COMING

Rumi searches around for his phone in his pants pocket to find out where Arkan is, but the young man does not find his phone anywhere. Rumi is still trying to remember her phone, which she just put carelessly on top of Vivian's bed after picking up the phone from Ethan. Then Rumi and Vivian were fancied.

"Damn!" Bumpat Rumi when he realized that his phone was left in Vivian's room.

Ting!

The elevator door is open. Rumi got out of the elevator and walked down the hallway of the hotel which was quiet tonight. Rumi's going straight to the cafe just looking for Arkan.

Just as Rumi was about to reach the cafe, the young man had already seen Arkan coming out of the cafe and seemed to be about to go home.

"Guil!" Call Rumi tight and Arkan whose head is covered in hoodie jacket immediately turns towards Rumi.

"Hi, Bro!"

"What's going on? Why are you bleeding?" Arkan looks shocked when scanning Rumi's condition.

"What did you give my drink and Ruby!" Rumi asked with emotion.

"Whatchu mean? I don't understand, Rumi!" Arkan had already grabbed onto Rumi's shoulder, but Rumi was jerking at him quickly.

"No need to pretend!" Rumi's touch is rough.

"I really don't understand! I just gave you the syrup, and I don't know anymore" Arkan grabbed his hoodie jacket and immediately turned around leaving Rumi stumbling after him.

"Fuck you Arkan!" Umbat Rumi who still continues to pursue Arkan who inexplicably even slow down his steps as if mocking Rumi.

Arkan also did not go to the parking lot but instead headed to the park beside the hotel which was quiet and dimly lit.

"Guil!" Shouted Rumi who was still chasing Arkan, when suddenly a block of wood was struck to the back of Rumi's head and made the young man fall on the grass of the park.

It seems Arkan is not alone!

Rumi was still half conscious as her body was dragged to a corner of the park, and Arkan approached her with a stupefied look. Rumi could still see it clearly even though the light in the area was only dimly lit.

"Is Ethan making you bleed like this?" Ask Arkan while setting his kakimya on Rumi's knee that was hit by broken glass.

Rumi almost screamed as her mouth was smothered by someone who had hit her back on the head.

"You shouldn't have come back here and enjoyed tonight with your girlfriend, but you and Ethan were very compact to ruin my plans tonight." Arkan clucking.

"Since the beginning I've been asking Ruby nicely for you!"

"You should've gotten rid of Ethan earlier and not supported his relationship with Ruby." Arkan spoke after the young man heard all the talk between Rumi and Ethan in the room.

"Ruby can only be mine and you should support me! Not even giving it to Ethan!" The pressure on both of Rumi's knees grew harder and harder to crush the man's kneecap.

"Now, accept the consequences, Rumi!" Arkan picked up a wooden block and beat Rumi's knee which he had stepped on with all his might several times using a wooden beam.

"You're not my friend since!" Arkan said again before changing into punching Rumi in the face and hitting the wooden beam several times to the head of Rumi who was already helpless.

Bugh! Bugh!

The last two hard blows on Rumi's head, instantly made Rumi's world dark. All the memories of his life also seemed to float away and now all Rumi felt was a darkness. Rumi doesn't remember anything after that.

Vivian was still sitting on the porch of the house and repeatedly looked at her watch which was already showing the time past noon. Vivi instead stared at the dead Rumi's phone that she had accidentally found under the pillow. It's impossible to contact Rumi now, if the phone is in Vivian's hands. After all, this morning before the phone was off the screen was also locked using a password and Vivian could not open it.

Vivian throws her gaze towards the mouth of the alley and hopes that Rumi's motorbike will come suddenly. But since two hours ago Vivian has been doing it over and over again and Rumi never came.

Vivian's heart ached at the thought of Rumi's sweet promise, which she said would come early to pick up Vivian and talk to Mama and Papa.

Rumi must be lying!

Rumi had gotten Vivian's last night, so maybe now Rumi doesn't need Vivian anymore and is flirting with another girl for her to dig up.

Rumi loves you and will marry you?

You stupid girl! Rumi just lied to you and she'll never come back to see you!

Vivian wiped away the tears that were welling up in the corner of her eyes.

"Vi!" The pats and reprimands of Kak Vita spread Vivian's daydream.

"You crying?" Asked Kak Vita who saw Vivian's eyes that were still glazed.

"No, Brother! Vivian just glimpsed," denied Vivian who returned to rub his eyes.

"Let's get ready! We have to leave now," Kak Vita asked as she guided Vivian to stand up.

"Are you leaving?" Viviqn asked who saw the watch.

"Yes. Taxis are coming soon. Get ready!" Tell Sister Vita once again and Vivian is only able to swallow the bitter wedge in her throat right now.

Rumi did not keep his promise and the young man had lied to Vivian.

Rumi had really lied to Vivian, and now Vivian hated the young man! Vivian hates Rumi!

Vivian throws Rumi's phone into the trash can and soon catches up with Kak Vita coming inside the house to get ready.

Flashback off

"Vian!" Rumi's rebuke restores Vivian's consciousness that has been daydreaming since.

"What time is it?" Rumi asked again still with a hoarse voice typical of people waking up. Vivian hurriedly looked at the clock on her phone.

"Hour half seven."

"Would you take a shower or have breakfast?" Fresh Vivian on Rumi who has now changed position to sit on the sofa.

"Is my breakfast ready?" Rumi threw a question at Vivian.

"I'll get you a minute." Vivian stood up.

"I'm going to take a shower! Where's my wheelchair!" Sergey Rumi who instantly made Vivian sigh. Vivian did not answer a word and immediately took Rumi's wheelchair, then moved the man deftly onto the wheelchair.

"Cold water? Hot water?" Vivi asked as she pushed Rumi's wheelchair into the bathroom.

"Do you still have to ask after a week of being my nurse?" Rumi answered ketus and Vivian just smiled faintly. Vivian closes the bathroom door and starts helping Rumi take a shower.

Seven years ago, when Vivian felt angry and disappointed in Rumi, apparently Rumi was lying helplessly in the hospital due to the persecution case. Vivian never knew, if that day Rumi was forced to break her promise because this man was in a coma.

And until this moment, Rumi still does not remember Vivian. But it's okay, hasn't Vivian always loved Rumi and still loved Rumi?

And now Vivian will take care of Rumi wholeheartedly, before this man is married to the girl of his family choice. If indeed Rumi could never belong to Vivian, then Vivian just wanted to spend this time with Rumi. Just with Rumi.
