The Chosen Heart Part 2

Deepest Sadness

" Isna's mom, I can move into the treatment room."

The nurse came back in, and prepared to take Isna to the treatment room.

" That man outside wasn't Mom's husband?"

" No, mbak. That's my husband's personal assistant."

" Oh, right, he was the one who paid the administrative advance on behalf of mom."

In the puddle of sadness Isna still had a wonder, why should Mas Arif take care of everything?

Once out of the ER room, Isna found Arif standing with a look of uneasiness. When he saw Isna coming out, Arif immediately approached. From a distance Isna saw Mbak Pri was approaching with half a run.

" I'm sorry Mas, I came here earlier ojol message, but long time got it. Where's Isna going?"

" To the inpatient room. Pri's mom called Mas Dani?"

" It's. Wh why? Haven't come?"

" Not yet."

" My phone was not picked up. I tried chat, also not read."

" Where is Dani?"

Arif and Mbak Pri follow the nurse who pushes the gurney into one of the 1st grade rooms.

Arif saw Isna's eyes.

" How is Isna's condition?" Pri asked while whispering.

" I know less. The doctor didn't tell me, because I wasn't her husband."

" Something seems to have happened."

" yes. Poor Sister Isna."

" I'm sorry, can you help me move Isna's mother to bed?" the nurse asked Arif.

" Can, mbak."

Arif is approaching Isna." Sorry Tea, please permit."

" I can stand up."

Isna sat down and tried to get down from the gurney. But it turns out his body staggered forward. Arif swiftly caught him and then tried to lift and carry him. Although a bit difficult, finally Arif managed to lay him in bed.

" Aa should have done this" Isna said in her heart. She tilts her body, trying to hide her cries from Arif and Pri's sight.

Tears of Isna dripping one. Whatever Isna tried, the tears kept coming out. Heart's broken. She knew tears wouldn't change fate, but was it wrong that Isna was crying out of her grief? This is not the first time, however patient and as powerful as anything, Isna is an ordinary human being. He thought a lot, and his thoughts scared him. Afraid that fate will no longer side with him.Fear that all his happiness will be lost, again.

Arif can only look on with pity. It felt like he was holding the beautiful woman in his arms, wiping her pain, comforting her, for the smile to come back. But that woman is someone else's legal wife.

The atmosphere of the room was silent, although Isna tried to hide her cries, her sobs were still heard. Losing a child, while the husband cannot be contacted, is a very painful thing. The two who accompanied Isna could only fall silent in pity.

" Sir, have you informed Teh Isna's parents?" Arif asked Mbak Pri, after taking a position away from Isna. Asking Arif did it half-whispering.

" It's been."

" Did I just go to the hospital where Mas Dani's friend was treated, huh?" Arif asked, but it seemed to himself.

Isna heard the words of Arif. He looked. "Please, Mas. Please see, what really happened to my husband?" still with a voice filled with sobs. If it could scream, perhaps Isna would scream out loud, letting out all the sadness and resentment that was squeezing her chest.

" All right, Tea."

" Eh but that's Mas Arif's shirt there's traces of blood."

" Oh yes, I have a change of clothes. Sorry Tea, I borrowed Dani's clothes. I saw before I went to the hospital that Arif's clothes had blood on. I took the initiative to bring Mas Dani's shirt." Mbak Pri spoke while explaining his circumstances.

" It's okay, Ma'am. Please Mas Arif, change clothes first."

With a bit of hesitation, because he felt inappropriate, Arif took the shirt that was proffered by Mbak Pri. Then she changed clothes in the bathroom.

When Arif came out of the bathroom, Isna had a few seconds to think Arif was Dani.

" Mas Arif looks like Mas Dani. Because the shirt is commonly worn mas Dani, "the confession came out of the mouth of Mbak Pri.

Arif just smiled faintly.

" Tea, I'm going first?" arif's farewell to Isna.

" It's nothing."

Isna is still at the top of her nelangs. Nestapa was slicing his love, presenting a cry that still could not subside.

Pri's mother approached, sitting next to her, and the woman's goal was chanting the prayer, in a raucous voice. He felt the pain that Isna felt.

Still drowning in grief, Isna tried to follow the prayer that Ma'am Pri chanted. Her heart was truly expecting her beloved husband to be present by her side at this moment. Because Dani is the source of his power.

But where is he?

What makes Isna most unable to calm down is because Dani is seeing Anindita. It's been almost an hour. What's Dani doing? Isna's sadness was mixed with suspicion and prejudice that increasingly made her mind confused. The mixed emotions made her cry not want to stop.

Someone said a greeting in front of the door. Pri and Isna answered together. The door opened, and the Father appeared, and then Mama followed.

Mama's eyes. The patient woman approached the child and hugged him. Isna's cry exploded instantly.

" The Son of Isna is no more, Ma." he said, on the sidelines of his sobbing.

Mama also did not lose her interest. The sound of sobs both sound unpretentious breaking the silence of the room.

Everything in the room seemed to be drowning in a miserable mood.

It was hard for both of Isna's parents to calm their daughter down. Because at that time all Isna needed was Dani.

The Father is only able to chant dhikr, to strengthen the child.

Pri's mama's phone is ringing. Pri's mom picked him up.

There's a phone call, from Arif.

" Assalamu'alaykum Mas Arif."

" Wa'alaykumussalam. Isna's parents have arrived?"

" Already, Mas. Hows it? Did Dani get found?"

" It's. Me and Mas Dani just want to go there."

" Oh, yeah already. Anything else to talk about?"

" No one, Ma'am."

" Yes already. Be careful on the road."

" Yes, Ma'am."

After greeting each other, the conversation is over.

Father took Mbak Pri a little away from Isna's bed. There is something the Father wants to ask.

" I'm sorry Ma'am, where is Dani to look? He doesn't know that his wife miscarried?" The father asked in a whisper.

" It doesn't seem to know yet, Pa. She was accompanying her friend who had an accident" Pri replied in a whisper.

The Father said nothing more.

Waiting for almost fifteen minutes, the man finally appeared in Isna's hope. With a worried face, Dani immediately approached his wife, and wanted to hug her. But Isna brushed Dani's hand off

The rest of her cries were still heard, but her irritation was much greater. She wanted to let go of Dani's frustration. His doubts about the man increased dramatically. His trust is almost gone. The shock that struck his soul made him no longer able to think calmly. It was as if he had forgotten that he had to hide this matter from his parents.

Dani was shocked by his wife's refusal. Confusion was immediately visible on his face. So too with Mom and Dad. Both parents were very surprised to see Isna's reaction to her husband's attitude.

" Where is it difficult to contact?" ask Isna with ketus,

" I'm sorry Neng, Aa's phone was taken away by people" Dani replied with a face full of regret.

" Oh yeah? How can?!"

" Yes, I don't know why either. "

" Why can, when it is needed, Aa can not even be contacted? I am sick, A... I'm alone, I..." Isna did not continue her sentence, her crying exploded.

" Our son is no more." In her weeping, Isna told the news to her husband.

Dani could only peek, while his lips spoke. "Innalillahi wa inna ilaihi roji'un."
