The Bond of Our Love

CHAPTER 11 - Surprise

"Oh so? Sorry, brother, we don't know. My patient brother. We believe Big Brother must be strong to face him" the soft voice of the daughter cheered.

Rahul smiled wryly "Yes, thank you. Oh yeah, what are you guys doing here? Why bring musical instruments to the hospital? What do you want to do?"

"We deliberately wanted to surprise our birthday, for our friend who was being treated here" another boy's voice sounded cheerful.

"Oh.... So that means, you guys brought that guitar to sing?"Rahul is interested.

"Sir, we have prepared everything. Cakes, gifts, and balloons. All of this is the result of our joint venture including that guitar. Because our friends love music and songs. Especially romantic songs. But" replied the girl enthusiastically, but there was a doubtful and confused tone at the end of her sentence.

"But?" Rahul knitted his brows.

"But we are confused. Because none of us could sing much less play an instrument" the first boy replied in a bland voice.

"Yes, we've been training for months. But still, our voices are fales and flattering. That's why we're confused now. It seems, the show will not be complete without the song "second boy was chimed in with a tone that sounded not excited.

Rahul smiled at the children's complaints

"I salute your friendship. Your friend must be very happy, have a friend like you. Oh yes, by the way, I can sing and play guitar" Rahul said sincerely.

"Serious sister" asked the girl. His voice sounded happy. From the sounds of his voice, Rahul's ears can catch that the interlocutor is currently, are children aged around 14-15 years. It consists of three boys and one girl.

"Of course, why would I lie? It has also been my hobby since childhood" Rahul replied casually.

"Then Brother won't help us? The brother who sings and plays guitar. How Brother?" pinta was the third boy. His voice sounded hopeful. Makes Rahul unable to refuse. He also has a plan for himself.

"Well, I'm willing to help you, but...."

"But what sister" asked the daughter enthusiastically.

********

"Zahrah!! Zahras! Ra!" the sound of screaming called his name. Making Zahra who was cool to accompany and guide a sepuh woman to the toilet jumped.

Zahra is very familiar with the sounds, the owners of which are his three friends. Wirda, Yanti and Maudy.

And sure enough, a few seconds after the three colleagues appeared from the opposite direction. The three girls seemed to run towards him.

"Here you are, apparently, Wariin also from earlier" said Wirda with breath gasping, the effect of running around.

"What the hell are you guys?! It's noisy. This is a hospital, not a forest. We are working, not playing. Your screams can interfere with the patient's rest tau" Zahra murmured.

"Yes yes sorry. Yes already, now you come with us yuk. There's something we want to show you" Yanti asked as she held Zahra's arm with Wirda and Maudy.

"Where the hell is that? You don't see, I'm busy? I have to take care, and accompany this mother to the toilet. Already, you guys take care of your work. Don't bother me. Ayo Bu" rejected Zahra while pulling both arms that were flanked by his three friends. Then she flanked her patient's hand and accompanied him to the toilet.

"Yes, let Maudy take care of this mother. You come with us, come on" Yanti took the old woman's infusion bottle from Zahra's hand and handed it to Maudy.

"Dy, please accompany this mother to the toilet. Come on Ra" he pulled Zahra's arm back with Wirda.

"Lho, what am I anyway? You dong, you can have fun together. I was, even told to work. It's not fair the name" Maudy grumbled.

"Well, can you have fun together? What the hell does that mean? Where are you taking me?" Zahra scrunched her forehead.

"Just look after the hospital.... Maudy, take care of this mother, okay?" tell Wirda to pull Zahra's body with Yanti to follow them.

"Yes-yes" Maudy who inevitably had to take over the task of Zahra taking care of the elderly female patient. Though he also really wanted to watch the exciting event in the back garden.

Huh...!! you know, he just waited there. No need to come find Zahra here.

*********

Wirda and Yanti pull and bring Zahra to RS rear.

What the hell is going on? There are usually no gatherings at the park like this. Is there a show? But who's making the show at the hospital. Or someone fainted in the park, until mobbed?

And his curiosity was answered when he and his two best friends were already part of the mob. Instantly Zahra was stunned by the sight before her.

The colorful and varied balloons strung together in such a way as to form a curved. On both sides of the arch is also affected by standing-standing balloons that each standing is installed 7 pcs balloons are almost similar.

A pink table appears to be behind the balloon arch. With a simple minimalist tart cake on top.

Not only that, what makes Zahra even more flabbergasted is the presence of a handsome man who is no stranger in his eyes. The man he had treated, who had just met him yesterday to apologize.

He seemed to be standing in the middle of the balloon decoration. With a guitar that is being held and played, and a microphone in front of his mouth.

The blind man was singing, singing a song with the theme of a mad traveler who was looking for something, but did not know what he was looking for and what the purpose of looking for it was. Not having a home, friends and a purpose. He could only walk away with tears and a smile.

On the side there are also three young boys who are also very familiar to Zahra. Yes, the three boys are friends of one of his patients named Chika. He often saw them when he visited the girl about thirteen years old. They both hold a cardboard that says.

*MY NAME IS RAHUL, HEREBY DECLARING MY APOLOGY TO A WOMAN NAMED AZZAHRA ALFATHUNNISA*

*NONA AZZAHRA, I PROMISE I WILL DO ANYTHING TO GET YOUR APOLOGY*

*NONA ZAHRA, I KNOW MY ATTITUDE TOWARDS YOU HAS BEEN OUTRAGEOUS. BUT I BEG YOU, WILL YOU FORGIVE ME AND FORGET MY MISTAKES?*

that's the writing contained in the three sheets of cardboard. Not only Zahra, but everyone who was there could clearly read it.

Zahra was glued and silent. He didn't know what to say and what to do. She did not expect that the man would do such a thing just to get an apology from her.

Is it particularly important for the first man who has stirred his heart since first sight? First sight unilaterally. Because first met the man in an unconscious state. And Zahra's duty as a nurse in that place, requires her to take care of the man who turned out to be named Rahul for three weeks.

"Duh... romantically" Yanti clenched loosely her hands touching her chest, looking at the scene with her head tilted and anxious.

It seemed like he was feeling very persimmon with the romance of the blind man.

"Yes, like in Indian movies" Wirda said with a similar expression.

"So how's Ra? Forgiven no?" Yanti glanced at Zahra and smiled seductively.

"If I were you, Ra, I wouldn't think twice about forgiving him. His way of apologizing was you know, make my heart melt" Wirda looked at the man who was singing in the garden with admiration and subtlety.

Zahra felt furious. He wanted to stuff the mouths of his two friends with his shoes. Even though his own heart was actually melted, with what the man who turned out to be named Rahul did to him.

"Shut up" Zahra denounced her two friends with bulging eyes. Both Wirda and Yanti were instantly silent, but not with a nosy smile that was still on the face of the two.

"Waw... I did not expect, If this hospital, it turns out there is entertainment as well" said one of the women who became part of the gang. He was talking to another woman in a wheelchair. They are patients and their families. Yes, their faces are quite familiar to Zahra.

"Yes me too. Huh...if the entertainment of such a handsome man anyway, I'm willing to continue to be sick and treated forever here!" women in patient uniforms sitting in wheelchairs.

"It's a pity that I have one child. Otherwise, I'd have left my husband for the sake of the tray" another woman chimed in, staring in amazement at the handsome man who was struggling with a guitar and microfon in the middle of the park.

Zahra smiled amusedly at the conversation of those people.

"They!"

"Rere!"

Zahra also heard the voices of two girls calling each other from the other direction.

Turning his face away, his pair of eyes immediately caught two girls hugging warmly.

"Well... Did you guys prepare a birthday surprise for me?" Chika widened her eyes. Smiling amazed at the garden that has been decorated with colored balloons. Plus, there was a handsome man singing there. It's like an artist's birthday event.

"Yes, this is all my plan, Rony, Doddy and Razak. How, you like it not?"
