Special Journey

Episode 37's

No one knows what a person's destiny should be like. We cannot protest when God has decided his will. Nothing is impossible for God. If God has said so, Yes Be...

So too with my life story. The taste I started to knit turned into a dashed asa. The hope of happiness in fact God broke even I had not yet started.

Three days in the hospital. During that time, I went back and visited him.

I can't wait to see Joseph recover. But at least now it is showing progress. Sometimes Joseph opened his eyes and fell asleep again. He does not know the people around him. Even so I am very grateful.

My field of view is wide, unbrimmed at the moment. My mind's messy, directionless.

Drop after drop of heavy rain, like a bullet that shot, hit the earth so fierce.cold penetrated but unable to cool the recesses of my heart.

My step was a little slow down the hospital corridor, as usual, not too crowded, but now Indonesia is starting to be healthy or just my feelings, or maybe because this is the only path to the room Icu, Icu, the patient is not too much.

I decided to go home. I think my body is starting to not bear this tiredness.

But, there's nowhere that makes my mind really rest. At home I was lonely, I always missed Kia. I miss the tiny body that's been the cure for all my pain.

I wiped the flowing clear details without permission on my cheeks. This rain is really supportive to make my heart ache.

Drett... Drett...

"Ashen..."

"Sister, Bang Satria has recovered, said the doctor is fully aware, bang Satria can remember us, he nyariin brother, said Doctor bang Satria we can move the usual care room. Brother hurry up here!"

"Alhamdulillah... Okay, brother go back inside." I'm disconnecting Fariz's call.

My body instantly weakened, I hugged both knees. "Alhamdulillah..." My lips repeated with gratitude. I don't care about people staring at me weird.

Now the tears and rain as if racing each other down increasingly heavy.

Standing up, I immediately approached Joseph. This time I ran a little, not caring about the humid condition of the corridor by the rain. Likewise with the wind resistance that prepared the rain on my face. No more fear of slippery roads that could make slip.

I just want to see Joseph.

"It's okay Mami, really brother already feels better, don't worry too much. Take look! You can sit by yourself, Mama."

For a moment I sat in front of Joseph's door. I again wiped my tears repeatedly, I took a very deep breath, I exhaled slowly, giving a slight gap for the air to go back and forth freely through my breathing. "Assynoltom..." I forced myself to smile without a burden, my lips felt very stiff.

All eyes were on me, "Wa'alaikumussalam." Almost the same answer from them.

"Afiifa... "

"Don't move Joseph," I stopped immediately when Joseph forced himself to change his seat, "Thank you for making our wait not in vain." I'm getting closer to Joseph.

"I want to see Kia, Fah. Mami says Kia's also starting to improve." My lips are getting stiff, shaking! Holding back the crying that had been reminiscing and was at the end of my eyelids. "take me fourth Kia, Fah!" I could not return Joseph's hopeful gaze.

Mami stroked both my arms. I know Mami gave me strength. "Yes, but Kia is still in intensive care, your condition is still not possible to visit Kia, Suf. Be patient... In a minute." I bit my lower lip, holding back the tearful cry of wanting to be released.

I'm sorry I had to lie. I'm sorry I couldn't tell you the truth.

"I've been so much better, Fah... The doctor let me take care of the room. That means my condition is really good."

"Yes, we'll see. We're ready to move in, the nurse's ready for this!" I tried to back off the clock, the nurses who had taken off one by one the electrodes were handed out Joseph's chest seemed unconcerned with our chatter.

The sound of a cage bed wheel occupied by Joseph during treatment in icu was heard sweeping the silent streets along the hospital corridor, which connected the icu room with the hospital's VVIP room.

Joseph's room now turns out to be the same room that Joseph used to occupy at the time of the accident.

The nurse who was in charge of delivering Joseph from icu was greeted by the nurse who served in this VVIP room. And again explain the order, location of the nurse station and the location of the emergency button in case something happens.

"Is there anything you want to ask, ma'am?" Ask the nurse in front of us after we finish explaining.

"No Sus, thank you." Answer Fariz.

"Hmm, it seems like I've seen you and Mom before, have you been treated here before?" The nurse called Me and Joseph alternating with his thumb.

"Yes Sus, just a few weeks ago He," I pointed to Yusuf, "Also treated here, the patient is Doctor Please."

"Ohhh! Quickly, I felt familiar with the face of this patient," The nurse turned her face towards me Yusuf. "alright! Excuse me first, please tell the nurse on duty if you need anything or something happens."

"One more time, thank you, Sus." I'm back to thank you.

Replied with a smile and a small nod from the nurse, then passed away leaving us. Everyone in this room.

"Riz, how's Kia doing? Is she really okay?"

"real Bang... Just focus on healing, at least for the next few days you have to rest more and do not think much. We are guarding bang!"

Again Fariz had to lie, this was all for the sake of Joseph's recovery.

"HELLO..." Fariz moved away as her phone rang telling an incoming call. Ahh Fariz must have been relieved at least this time to avoid Joseph's question. I saw Joseph's parents' faces looking anxious and tense.

Because Joseph's parents also have not given news of the departure of Grandpa Man to Joseph. Plus, I had to figure out how to tell Joseph about Kia.

"Mommy seems unwell, mom just go home, Yusuf is no papa, mi... Just accompany Nisa at home. Fariz says Nisa's not well either." Joseph took the hand of Tan's mother who had been on Joseph's head.

"No problem, your sister is very safe in the hands of her in-laws. Mommy doesn't have to worry about him." Mami Tan again rubbed the strands of Joseph's hair partially covered with bandages.

"Y...! Joseph is absolutely fine, you don't have to treat Joseph like a child." Yusuf glanced at me at a glance, followed by a narrowed view of my mother.

"Why? Are you ashamed of Afiifa? Usually also if the fever still likes to ask to be pampered with mom, do not want to be left, this time you really fit mami almost dead hangers." Mami Tan pinched Joseph's arm slowly.

"Cf, Mommy... What the hell is it?" Joseph was torn between shame and shame.

"Lho... Mamikan right, no crap you know, Fah... Yesterday it just happened that mami and papi are not here so you are not fussy asking to be pampered with mami, is it Pi"? Mami actually opened Joseph's dead card. I smiled at my mother's explanation.

"Well, you were spoiled by him Fah?" Mami pulls her hand from Joseph's head before Joseph expels the mother's smooth hand.

"No mi," I was just observing the quarrel Mother and Child was shocked to hear Mami Tan's question to me. "He even asked Afiifah to come home, refusing to be guarded."

Remembering again that night, how Joseph shivered to his Father and Mother, how I cared for Joseph and touched the helpless body of Joseph!

How did Joseph have to accept the reality of losing Kia? I really want to keep this a secret forever. But it's impossible! May God give Joseph the strength to accept this reality.

"Bang, I'm going home for a little while, Nisa seems to be getting weaker." Fariz snatched his black backpack from the sofa. "Pi, Mi, Fariz come home for a while." Fariz's hand was welcomed by his two in-laws, as was Joseph.

"Ahh you could have bang. You are now my brother." He walked towards me, greeting me as well.

"I go home first brother, if papi same mami also come home, please take care of bang Yusuf sak, he likes stubborn if sick."

"You're! Your brother still wants to live longer." Joseph protested when he felt cornered.

"Haha.... Assalamualaikum." Fariz left the room. Slowly disappearing behind the door.

"What's Nisa hurting, mi?" Yusuf who changed his sleeping position was helped by Mami Tan.

"Ordinary pain." Mami Tan's hand was too busy holding Joseph's head so as not to move too much. "Well comfortable?" Mami was still focused on Joseph's head.

"It has. What pain does Mi have?" Joseph is still waiting for an answer.

"She's pregnant, Kasian Fariz. Nisa must be very fussy, not sick or fussy, what else if it hurts! It could be at home repotin with a lot of willing and crybaby work."

"His name is pregnant too." Joseph seemed to not accept his sister as if she was blamed by her mother.

"Ahh you, I've felt pregnant! Not only have pregnant people never been."

I folded my lips the depth of holding back laughter.

"Kc... " Yusuf was again upset by his mother.

"Father mi, we all never feel repotinated Nisa, we all welcome Nisa's pregnancy with great happiness and gratitude." I gave Joseph the apple I had peeled.

"He must be fussy, right?"

"Sir papa, we're happy Nisa wants a lot, first Afiifah also fit pregnant, the mood likes to change." I gave the apple pieces to my mom too.

"Fah, papi is full." Reject the papi when the next piece of apple for the papi.

"You didn't vomit badly during Kia's pregnancy?" Yusuf was curious.

I'm just smiling.

"I don't think so. Seeing Kia's exasperating behavior, it seems like you can't keep quiet. I was still in college. Installment." Joseph changed his direction of view.

"You used to know Afiifa very well? How do you not know kemami?"

"Yes mi, he likes to shout if he enters the house, run here and there nyariin his mother, Afiifah did not know Yusuf mi, not as level as Yusuf, his toy businessman, members of the Police/Tni, we are not victorious, he said, how do you know kemami? I can only see him from far away."

"Betul Fah? How is it different with you now? If you look at it now, you're more cute, quiet, not as installment as Yusuf said!"

"Hehe may be because Afiifa has grown up, has been more able to maintain dignity as a woman, has been more able to control emotions." I just bowed.

"Again Fah." Joseph asked for another apple not to forget his smile.

Yusuf talks more today, looks warmer too.

"You're like a couple, from earlier mami look smiley-smile not clear, love to steal another look." Mami's words were slumped, really making my breath feel tight. I try hard to control my emotions.

"Have you got another husband?" I was surprised to hear my mother's question to the point.

I bent my gaze even more, the corner of my eye could still see Joseph staring at me.

"Afiifa... "Mami gripped my left shoulder. "why silence?" Mami tilted her head, peering at my gaze at the end of my foot.

"If asked if the old man answered Fah, not polite." Joseph seemed to help my mother intimidate me.

"Yes, it's not necessary to answer if you don't want to, mami is also just a fad, isn't it pi?"

"Hmm." Papi who had been focusing on the newspaper in his hand was not interested in our conversation at all.

"Bk, papi... "

"What the hell is yank?" Papi focused his attention on mami.

"Yes... If Afiifah is ready to answer, he will answer. Isn't that Fah?" Papi threw a glance at me.

"I.. Yes Pi." I answered with a nod of stiff head and papi continued to flip back the newspaper that had become his pleasure, and had to be disturbed by mami.

"Ck, not cool papi." Mami got up from sitting towards papi. "let's go to besan's house first. Mami wants to see Mbak Rahmi, so want to look at Nisa." Mami closed the newspaper forcibly in the hand of the papi and threw off the direction.

"How's yusuf? Cook should be left? What is Nisa's crybaby? Mami said she wasn't worried about Nisa, there were her in-laws watching." Papi was still reluctant to stand up.

"Kc... Mami wants to have a beautiful conversation with Rahmi, who knows who can match Yusuf and Afiifah." Coloteh mami without pause. "get tired of waiting for Yusuf not married, can hunt old mami, Can-can die first."

"Astagfirulah... If the talk is filtered in me mi, like not to think that already talking." Papi stands.

"We go home first yes, do not bother Afiifah you Suf, assalamualaikum."

The shadow of Joseph's parents began to disappear.

Why the hell are you two with Joseph again?

If there were still Kia, maybe my taste of the shell was reduced, Joseph would also be more polluted to Kia.

How much miss your mother, son.

"I'm out for a second." I'm a minibag in a disofa.

"Afiifa... I'm sorry."

"Don't mind much Suf, you should get well soon." For a moment I turned to Joseph whose smile no longer seemed to expand.

"I'm out for a minute."

"You want kemushola again?"

"No, I'd like to see Sila, there's a little business." I immediately left Joseph.

Before long, "Suf... Call me later if you need anything, Assalamualaikum." I poked my head back in the depth of the room, part of my body was already outside the room.

"Wa'alaikumussalam." I still hear the answer to Joseph.
