Sidewalk

Chapter 83

In the treatment room Romi, only 2 guests can enter. Dirga and Lala entered the room together. On the bed was the figure of Romi who closed his eyes so tightly. Various sounds from the monitoring machine that monitored Romi's progress were clearly heard in the room.

"Rome …." Dirga touched Romi's palm. "This is your best friend, Dirga. Guess who I came with?" Dirga tried to provoke the spirit of Romi

Recalling Lala's previous story, Dirga did not dare to tell who Lala was. Dirga brought his mouth closer to the side of Romi's ear. "Romi ...your son is born, he's so handsome and dashing like you, wake up man. Kasian Lala is always waiting for you" whispered Dirga.

There was no response from Romi.

Dirga took a few steps back. The shadow of Dirga is now Shafi, seeing Romi's situation like this, how does it relate to Lala if this man dies, how does he release Lala without guilt? He wants everything back to normal.

Dirga immediately got out of there, he was very desperate to see the current state of Romi. Lala was still in the room.

"Sorry aunt, I can't see Romi's situation" said Dirga. He leaned his back against the walls of the Hospital.

"Thank you, Dirga, for coming to see Romi in his last seconds. Auntie go inside first, accompany your wife there." Karla enters Romi's room to accompany Lala.

In the room there were only Lala, Karla and Romi who were unconscious.

"I've told you aunty, thank you for being one of the people who gave happiness to Romi, but right now the safety of your son and yourself is important." Karla's eyes were on Romi.

"Tell me, too, about what happened to Romi" said Lala.

Karla recounts Romi's current state, until the worst possible eventuality would be for Romi.

Karla took her phone, and typed the message there.

"Huh …." Karla could only rough her breath.

"Tomorrow Ayu will come to your house, he will take a sample, we will test the DNA of Romi and your son."

"Aunty doubted my son?"

"No, but we have to have hard evidence that your son is my grandson?"

"I'm sorry aunt." Lala felt guilty, because her guess was wrong.

"We have to think about the worst possibility, La. What if Romi can't get up again?"

"I really hope Romi can wake up again aunty. If Romi doesn't wake up, brother Dirga, let go I will open my son's identity, but maintain this pseudo-marriage, just make his household that stands on the basis of love, collapse."

Karla looked at meu towards Lala. "This is what makes me such a fool! Because when we care, our cares are misused, and we are like fools!"

"Not everyone is so aunt."

"It's not all, it's just that I'm deterred. You who do good, keep doing good, do not follow in my footsteps, if everyone follows in my footsteps, there are good people missing from the face of this earth."

Geck! Geck! Geck!

The sound of knocking on the door sounded.

"Come in" said Karla.

One person wearing a health uniform entered Romi's treatment room.

"Mom called me?"

"Yes, please take a sample of Romi's DNA, and save it first, just in case, I'm afraid Romi leaves us." Karla was deeply hurt, but she tried to hold back her cries from escaping. "Only you that I trust Yudha, the people closest to me have betrayed me."

"Thank you for your trust in me. For a DNA sample, I'll take it now and I'll keep it a secret."

Yudha immediately did her job, taking a DNA sample on Romi. Finished with his task, Yudha immediately left the room.

"Tante, can I come out for a minute?" ask Lala.

"Please, son."

Lala stepped out of Romi's room, when she was outside the room, her eyes saw Dirga's desperate face.

Seeing Lala coming out of Romi's room, Dirga immediately straightened her back, she could see that she wanted to shed her tears.

"La, come with me." Dirga went first.

Lala immediately followed Dirga's footsteps. Until they reached one corner of the quiet room.

"Curahin everything La," said Dirga.

Lala's cry broke in that corner. In her tears, Lala told her of all the possibilities. "If we are honest that my son is not a big brother, our safety is threatened, but if we are not honest, the family is at stake, okay at this time we can cover this marriage from the Shafis, how long can we cover this pseudo-marriage?" Lala was sobbing more and more in her cries.

"That we think later, at this time we pray, may God provide healing for Romi, so that someone protects you La."

Lala just kept crying. He was very afraid of Fattah for nothing, for him at this time his world was Fattah. "Before she was born, Fattah was targeted, I wasn't ready if they found my son and-" Lala couldn't think of the worst possibility if the bad guys knew that her son was Romi's.

Dirga felt tight to see Lala crying like that, she pulled Lala into her arms.

"I'm afraid brother …." Ringis Lala's.

"Berdo'a La, hopefully Romi can survive." Both of Dirga's hands landed on Lala's back.

Lala kept shedding her tears in Dirga's arms.

Flash Back Shafi and Mayfa.

Almost 30 minutes both were in a taxi car, Syafi felt bad with the taxi driver, although they gave more fare, still not tasty.

The scenery outside attracted the attention of the Shafi, some people who were known to Shafi walk together to enter the Hospital building.

"May, isn't that T.A School's Elementary School teachers?" The Shafi's index points to a group of women wearing a kebaya of the same color as Mayfa and Shafi wear.

"We're with them." Mayfa got off earlier than the taxi they were riding in.

The Shafi gave more for the taxi driver.

"Thank you ma'am, may the sick family be healed soon." The taxi driver was very happy to get more fare than his passengers. If the whole day did not attract passengers anymore, it was more than enough money he received from the woman just now.

"Bu Fuzah …." Mayfa ran while calling one of the teachers who was there.

One of the women in the group stopped her steps, and turned to the voice that called her name. "Well this is Mayfa, where is Shafi May?"

"I'm here mom." Shafi walks right behind Mayfa.

"From yesterday we were looking for you, but did not meet, we just looked at the baby, Miss Tria," asked one of them.

Shafi and Mayfa immediately followed the group, until they arrived in front of one of the mother and child's rooms. Due to their large numbers, the nurse requested that they take turns.

Mayfa reads a message that just entered his phone, seen a message from Athan, telling him where Dirga is at the moment.

Mayfa's focus on Athan was scrapped, because of the noise around him, because scrambling to get an early turn to go into the room to visit a fellow teacher who had just given birth. "You guys go first, the sweetest of late" said Mayfa. His eyes focused on reading Athan's message.
