Secrets of the Former (Love Left Behind)

Twenty Seven

"Hello, Farez."

"This is Mom, Dihyan. When did you come here?"

"I'll be there soon."

Gantari immediately rushed to the hospital when the phone connection was cut off, the mama's collisions called, making him worry.

He stepped his legs wide in the hospital corridor to get to the mother's room immediately, then opened the door with his heart beating uncontrollably.

"Hi!"

How relieved he was when he saw his mother greeting him with a raised smile. Even this time, the mother was standing by the window with the help of Sister Irma. Gantari the road approached, then clenched tightly to the mother and kissed her cheeks.

Mom chuckles. Then return Gantari's embrace.

"Today I'm really excited, you know," Sister Irma told me.

Gantari loosened her embrace, then smiled warmly. I was so happy to see my mom looking so healthy.

Mom hasn't been able to stand up for too long, so sister Irma pulled up her wheelchair and sat her down there.

"Sorry, yeah, it's a hassle. Brother must be busy," said Gantari unsavory.

A slow blow was directly cast Irma into Gantari's arm. "Same as anyone, deh," he said. Then they laughed together.

"I'll stay first, yeah. Later come here again," continued Irma while glancing at Gantari.

A hug Irma got from Gantari, making her look a little surprised, then in a hilarious tone Gantari said, "Thank you very much, Brother. Thanks for all."

After Irma left, Gantari pulled a chair and sat down beside her mother, then held her ladder. He just kept being around her and looking at her dear.

"If the mother is healthy like this we can go home quickly," he said happily.

The eyes that usually look cute, today somehow so sparkling staring at Gantari. A smile is never absent from the lips of the mother.

Mom returned Gantari's hand. Then, he inhaled a deep breath of air once, while closing his eyes for a moment. "Mom can't wait to go home either."

Gantari smiles.

"The same parents as your father."

The deg!

Gantari's smile faded away.

Gantari only gulped his saliva, not intending to give more response. Perhaps, five years of unconsciousness made the mother's memory of the past rather chaotic.

"Mother today seems very happy," continued Gantari, then kissed the back of the solemn mother's hand.

Mother nodded and again threw a warm smile. "It felt like my mother's chest was so relieved, Dihyan," she said. "There is nothing else I regret in this world."

Mother stared fixedly at Gantari for a long time, then cupped both palms to the cheeks of the princess. "And I hope you do too. Learn to see from someone else's point of view, son," he said.

Gantari did not understand. He was very happy to see his mother's condition today, but there were things that he did not understand and felt a little disturbing his heart.

***

It was time to go home, but Mr. Sarif had not come to pick him up, so Gantari chose to wait for him in the office yard. He was slightly jolted when an orange cat passed by and swiped the body to his feet. Gantari smiled, then squatted stroked the head of the cat. In his heart he promised to bring a side dish for the cat tomorrow.

"Name Veronica."

Hearing the information, Gantari turned her head quickly and found Nevan standing behind her. He then stood up, while his eyes followed the movement of the cat who moved to spook on Nevan.

"He's a man, where his name may be Veronica" protested Gantari.

Gantari's words just made Nevan glare in disbelief. She's been babysitting the cat for the past two months, which she may have misidentified. Nevan crouched down and held onto Oren's face, judging from any point of view, Oren looked beautiful and cute.

Gantari. "What if it's really a female, then?"

"Yes," Nevan replied casually, then stood up again, "At least that's the woman I know."

Gantari rolled her eyes puffed. He glanced at the circular clock on his right wrist, the tumbens of Mr. Sarif late like this.

Nevan tilted her head to look at Gantari. "If he is a man, he will change his name to Vernandes. Why do you like it so much, anyway, magnifying the problem?" skink.

Not wanting to take a headache, Gantari chose to check his cellphone, where he knew there was news from Mr. Sarif.

Feeling unheeded, Nevan headed towards the security post. Just coming, he has been greeted by Mr. Revelation with a packet of whiskey, then brought it back near Gantari and Veronica, eh wrong, Vernandes.

The understanding Vernandes immediately walked over to Nevan. Gantari silently watched. It seems that this has become a habit of Nevan before returning home.

Apparently there was a pink box lying not far from them, then Nevan poured cat food there. Making Gantari smile mockingly because Nevan was intent on treating Oren as a woman.

"No smile" Nevan said suddenly, then stood up again, "Buy the box, Mr. Revelation, not me" he said.

Gantari just understand, rather than longer business. Fortunately Gantari's phone rang, so she didn't have to look at Nevan for too long.

"Hello?"

Gantari looked shaken.

"Father, Sir. I happen to have a job I want to finish."

Nod again.

"Yes. You just take Naya back home. May Naya get well soon, "close her with a sincere smile, then put her phone back in the sling bag.

Actually Nevan is curious, but prestige should be held in high esteem. He was silent waiting for an explanation, but ended up in vain because Gantari instead chose to sit in an iron chair near the security post.

Nevan followed, but not to sit, but to return the whiskey to Mr. Revelation.

Seeming to think long, Nevan finally chose to go to where he parked his car. Opening the car door, then glancing at Gantari again and ending with throwing the door.

"Let's come. I drove home," he said suddenly, making Gantari a little jump in shock.

"Just go first, sir. I'm waiting for Mr. Sarif" Gantari replied.

Nevan remained standing, making Gantari careless as well. "First time. Gapapa."

He wanted to, but seeing the day almost dusk and the employees had started to gradually go home all made Nevan worried as well.

There was Mr. Wahyu and Mr. Febri, but they were both men. How could Nevan have let Gantari be surrounded by two men.

Congratulations Nevan, because thanks to you now Gantari is surrounded by three men.

So, he decided to come sit next to Gantari, then take out his phone cuckooly, making Gantari shift away.

Gantari wanted to protest, but thought again because there was Pak Wahyu and Pak Febri in the post. However, he is also a Nevan employee who must maintain ethics.

Nobody spoke for long enough, they were surrounded by silence and awkwardness.

"The sun may set, but tomorrow it will rise again" Nevan said suddenly.

Gantari turned her head, but Nevan was standing and walking to her car.

"Mr?"

Gantari jerking. He turned his head and found Mr. Sarif as the culprit.

Why is he suddenly so absent-minded?

"You going home now?" ask Mr. Sarif kindly.
