Vira Sick



"Flood!"


"Sister, why are you here?" Farah doesn't believe me. Bayu just kept silent while turning to look at Arif who was beside him.


Farah saw Bayu already standing right next to her car. Farah was astonished, at once surprised. When he realized, if Bayu was deliberately waiting for him. But quickly, Farah threw away her confidence. Farah started telling herself. If Bayu accidentally meets her.


"I'm waiting for you!" Sahut Arif's.


"For!" Farah's mouth is cold.


"I want to see you, is your heart at ease after destroying the person so close to you!" Arif said cynically and coldly.


"Alhamdulillah. I gained calm, while realizing one thing. Only on HIM can I complain and believe. HE who never betrays His servants. A house that is always open, when its servants need it. Though sometimes abandoned and neglected by HIS servants!"


"You insinuate me!" Arif said coldly, Farah shook her head weakly.


There was a big smile on Farah's face. Bayu stared at Farah, the woman he loved so much. But never expected his love. Bayu can only stare, no words spoken from Bayu's lips. Farah makes him silent in silence, Bayu's love is real. But Farah's rejection, much more real.


"I'm not comparing you to HIM. Because you are different, you will never be the same!" Farah relax.


Farah walked past Bayu who was leaning in front of his car. Farah was about to get in the car. But right in front of Bayu, Bayu spontaneously held Farah's hand. Immediately Farah stopped her steps. Farah turned to Bayu, a gaze that hinted at ignorance.


"Why?"


"What?" Farah did not understand, Bayu lowered his head without loosening his grip.


"Why did you just knock on his door? My door is always open for you. Why are you complaining only to Him? Even if you are aware, I am ready to hear your complaints. Why are you crying in front of Him? When I'm ready to be the shoulder where you cry. Why are you just looking for HIM? I always look forward to your call. Why don't you trust me? Just once Farah, make me your tired crutch. Honestly Farah, every tear drop. My weak evidence of not being able to embrace you. Your crying voice, slashing thin my heart. Believe it or not, when you recite the Holy Quran. I wept, lamenting my foolishness that could not touch your little heart!" Bayu said softly, Farah was still pensive.


Farah lowered her head, as if Bayu's words were penetrating in his frozen soul. Farah was filled, when someone offered her a sincere feeling. But Farah was unaware of one thing. Bayu's sincere feeling, will only make Farah weak. If only it had been in Farah's heart. There was a bit of fear in Farah's heart. If Bayu is hurt by Farah's love.


"Thank you, but sorry brother. Your love is too sincere, for my dark heart. Your race is too holy, so I fear being tarnished with my purpose. There will be a heart worthy of you. When that happened, I was the first to congratulate you. Right now, only on HIM do I lean. So that no heart will be hurt!" Said Farah firmly, his hand slowly brushed off Bayu's hand.


Bayu looked at Farah, again and again Farah rejected the taste. Bayu was never hurt by Farah's refusal. But Bayu was devastated, seeing Farah's pain in the dark of the night. Alone without anyone accompanying Farah. The fragility of Farah seen in both Bayu's eyes. Clearly breaking Bayu's heart, it hurt and stifled. Bayu was completely helpless, losing would firm Farah's stance.


"Flood!"


"What else is it?" Farah said coldly, Arif stared at Farah sharply.


"You hurt too easily, until you can't appreciate Bayu's sincere love. I don't know what was wrong with Vira? Until she has to give birth to a daughter like you!"


"If I could have chosen, I would never have wanted to be born. If real present me be the reason for the pain of mama. You don't know the truth. Please insult or have a bad opinion about me. But never blame your mother. She was already quite devastated, when she gave birth to me without Lord Azzam by her side. The devastation was more complete, when I never got the Atmaja family's recognition!"


"You!" Said Arif emotion, Bayu held Arif's hand. Bayu's head, signalling for Arif to shut up and relented. Bayu hopes there's no debate for tonight.


"Farah, Aunt Vira is sick. He is currently in the hospital. The reason me and Arif are waiting for you. We want you to visit Aunt Vira!"


As powerful as Farah's power leaning on the car. Bayu ran towards Farah. But his steps came to a halt, just as Farah raised her hand. Farah forbade Bayu to come near.


"Don't come any closer, once your attention will blow me away. I was able to be alone until this moment. So leave me alone!" Farah said firmly, then opened her car door.


Bayu shook his head in disbelief. Then with a swift Bayu snatch the key to Farah's car. With both of his strong hands, Bayu carried Farah. Arif opened Farah's car door on the left side. Without saying much, Bayu leaned Farah in the car seat. Even Bayu put his seat belt on. Bayu did not care about Farah's anger, Farah's rebellion was meaningless. Bayu got into Farah's car.


"You're presumptuous!"


"I may be insolent, but silence sees you hard. It will make me regret it for a lifetime!" Saying the final Bayu, Farah turned her head in the other direction. Farah looked out her car window. At a glance Bayu turned his head, trembling hands held back the turmoil of his heart. Bayu tries to hold back, so that his hand does not touch Farah more intimately.


Bayu drives Farah's car, crashing into the dark of the night. There was no sound in the car, only the sound of breathing was so loud. Bayu and Farah were both silent. Both dissolve in their minds.


"Come down!" Said Bayu lirih, Farah looked up. He looked to his left side and saw a hospital. Without Farah noticing, she had tubed in the hospital.


"Tante Vira is in VVIP 3!" Say Bayu again. Farah nodded without looking towards Bayu.


"Thank you!" Farah said, then got out of her car. Bayu nodded, though he realized Farah would not see him. Farah was too angry, until she did not want to look towards Bayu.


Farah walked into the hospital. He went through the hospital hallway looking for Vira's room. Farah stopped her steps right in front of Vira's door.


Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok


"Excuse me!" Farah said as she opened the door.


"Farah, you're coming, baby!" Said Vira nodding slowly.


Farah silently stared near the door. Vira shook her head weakly, looking at Farah who did not want to get close to him. Vira knows the reason for Farah, but there is nothing Vira can do. Farah was really firm with her stance.


"Honey come here, mama misses you!" Vira said, Farah was silent.


"Why not go in?" Azzam said, Azzam just finished praying at night.


"Sorry mom, Farah has to go home. Tomorrow morning before Farah leaves for the city. Farah will stop by. May my mother recover!" Farah said, then turned her body. Farah was about to walk out. But his steps stopped, when he heard the voice of Azzam.


"Wait, no need to go out. I'll be out!"


"No need, mom will be fine without me!"


"Let's go, for your mama's sake!" Azzam lirih.


"I'll come later!" Farah's mouth is cold.


"Mama, he's the man who ruined you. The man I should have called Papa. He can calm you down. Backrest when you're sick. Slippers in your barrel. Mama, forgive Farah for not being able to accept it. Sorry Farah!" Inner Farah turned, then left the room of Vira.
