The End of a Story

S1 | How to Love

Life is a cycle of ups and downs, growing and growing until it is gone. Then live as well as you can, as well as you can. Before life is gone and gone.

"Ekhem!" doctor Andra cleared her throat, making Riki flinch in shock.

"What's up, doc? My mom is fine, right?" riki asked making Dr. Andra smile.

"Safe! Your mother was just surprised, her ECG results were also good. Stay waiting for the medicine, after that you can go home," replied Andra doctor makes Riki feel very relieved. Fortunately, for the next few days Riki has not received a meaningful task so that in time to bring his mother to the Hospital.

"What's up, doc?" ask Riki again, because he felt strange when he saw Doctor Andra who was smiling by himself.

"So you asked for Halimah's number?" asked the doctor Andra and Riki nodded their heads.

"May I ask?" ask Dr. Andra again.

Riki shook his head, "Sorry doc! I can't give someone else's phone number without his permission because it violates his right to privacy!" riki replied firmly, making Doctor Andra painstakingly swallow his saliva.

"All right then! But... I think I have a lot of information about Bila!" said Dr. Andra who this time made the curiosity in Riki boomed.

"This is it, doc! I really can't give Ms. Halimah's mobile number without her permission. But if the doctor wants to, tomorrow I will go to the place of Nabila. Perhaps the doctor will accompany you, while checking the condition of Nabila!" said Riki.

"okay! I'll come with you tomorrow! While waiting for your mother's medicine to finish, let's have a chat in my room!" with the spirit of the doctor Andra pulled Riki's arm towards his room.

'Take a water dive, ' Inner doctor Andra.

Now the two of them were sitting facing each other, both of them were very tense faces as if they were going to discuss something very important.

"So... Are you ready when?" ask Dr. Andra. "Because before I give you all this information, I need to know who you really are. Because for 5 years working with me, even though I've never seen you."

Riki sighed heavily, "I used to be very close. He was my underclassman, Ila was 1st grade and I was 3rd grade. I aspire to become a TNI, besides it is my late father's last wish. Ila always accompanied me, swimming exercises and physical exercises such as running and others. Stupidly I, after graduating from school and being accepted in Akmil, I just left without saying goodbye. My happiness is too much to not have time to say goodbye. Because I'm busy preparing for everything."

"Well, that's how you.. Let everything wither before it develops. If it must be very disappointed and it is not an easy thing to forget," said doctor Andra made Riki bowed lethargic.

"Then from that, doc! I want to get things straight, I don't want this misunderstanding to continue. And I don't want to continue living in guilt and with all this pent-up love. During Akmil, when my IB always took the time to go home. But every time I wanted to see him, there was always an obstacle" Riki explained everything to Andra's doctor.

"But I think it's all free, man! When you're engaged.."

DEG!

Pain. That was how Riki's heart felt. Although he had prepared himself for a long time when he heard this, it still hurt.

"What's wrong, doc! People say that love is not only giving but also receiving. But my love for Ila, just give without receiving. Because that's how I love Ila. For me, just love her and keep her deep in my heart. Because what I prioritize is just his happiness, not maintaining my love ego," Riki's remark made Andra's doctor gawk in disbelief.

"But, Bro!" andra's doctor was about to refute him but did not come from hearing Riki's words.

"I don't care how the doctor or anyone else looks at me. Because this is how I love her" Riki said.

"Hm.. I getcha! But in my opinion, the better way to love is to fight. Because basically the woman is waiting and wants to be pursued. Isn't it before the yellow janur curves, anything can happen?" ask Dr. Andra.

Riki simply fell silent and tried to digest everything. Because his heart and mind are not in line. Finally the conversation ended with exchanging a mobile number. Riki also had to return to duty and deliver the mother home.

"Bil, why are you?" ask Aisyah worriedly.

"Ck! Oneng emang lu ye Ais. Obviously the Mak Haji said that his GERD son was dead! I'm kualat amu you, Bil! Pake kaga breakfast everything," said Ashila.

While the one who is rumored is just silent and daydreaming. Nabila just smiled while holding back tears, it made Ashila and Aisyah look at each other. They do not understand the situation that is happening.

"This is child two! Shower there! Go home instead of taking a shower, and creep into people's rooms!" nagging Bu Halimah while blinking one eye.

"Buset bye, dole your Mak haji?" ask Ashila innocently.

Aisyah who understood, immediately pulled Ashila's arm to come out. He knew that Miss Halimah needed time to talk to Nabila. They will only listen from the outside, because Ms. Halimah deliberately did not close the door tightly.

"Why the Bible?" whispered Ashila.

"Diem and hell!" omel Aisha.

Ms. Halimah rubbed her arms slowly and the girl immediately rushed to hug Ms. Halimah.

"What does the baby have to be, Mom? Every day I see him, Bibil's heart hurts, Mom. I don't know what the cause is" said Nabila.

"Pareback baby.. Horror Mom, Son. The pain is because your love is too deep, maybe there are things that you have not finished. Therefore, according to Mother you should meet and talk about everything well," said Bu Halimah advising.

"There's nothing to be done, ma'am. Because long ago, it never started. After all, Bibil should appreciate A Farhan's feelings, right?" ask Nabila with a clean slit.

"Any relationship related to feelings, must be resolved, Bibil. Never start or not, because in fact since the first feeling you have planted too deep. And as for Nak Farhan, don't ever make him your painkiller, Bil. Because maybe, without you knowing, Nak Farhan has also just recovered from his injuries. Finish it and talk carefully with Nak Riki, then you will know what to behave and how."

Nabila fell silent, "Mom know where Riki's name comes from?"

"So she asked Mom for permission to talk to you. But I don't allow it, because I know you're not okay, Bil. So tomorrow afternoon he'll be here. Speak carefully, to start a new life, you must finish all your mass, Bil. Do not let, then you become a barrier to your steps and Nak Farhan in the future."

Nabila nodded her head, knowing that Ms. Halimah would never give the wrong advice. Aisyah and Ashila stared at each other while listening to the conversation.

"So really, that man was the one who told the Bible the other day!" ashila said in disbelief.

"That's the takdlir, Cil! We do not know what our life will be like in the future, even 2 minutes in the future we never know what will happen. We pray for the best for Bibil" Aisha took a deep breath.

How will Nabila and Riki meet tomorrow?
