The Gem of the Heart of the Former Thug

the nadir point

“Please request a signature for the use of ambulance body to father Luki Pratama, her husband sister Adelia Fitri, her son deceased”

DAARRR

“MAS BUUDD”

Ratna squealed loudly, as the phone Budi was holding fell, and Budi dazed forward.

“TOLOOONG”

Ratna's reflexes screamed for help. Even though Deni and Bayu have jumped near him.

“Budiii”

Erika who had just entered the follow-up room screeched. He went towards Budi.

“Mas Bud's. Conscious, mas!” Ratna.

He panicked at Budi who was seething like a fainted person, but his eyes were still open.

“Budd. Conscious, Bud!” Erika made a sound. He patted Budi's face.

“Thugs, Bud! Astaghfirullohal ‘adzim” said Bayu guiding Budi beristighfar in Budi's right ear.

“Astahfirullohal ‘adzim” others also help Budi beristighfar.

Long enough they tried to resuscitate Budi. The various ways they do. But Budi still hasn't budged. They panicked and called the emergency services.

Lucky, right when adzan ‘ashar reverberated on one of the phones, Budi shed tears. Gradually she cried. And slowly he began to be able to communicate again.

The funeral procession of Mr. Fajarpun's body was carried out that night. Despite the fatigue, Adel who had regained consciousness forced to take his father to his final resting place. He insisted on moving even if he had to use a wheelchair.

The existence of Luki who is always close to Adel makes the public wonder about their relationship. Especially in the realm of social media, a lot of tweets that ask the status of Adel's relationship with Luki. Not a few also ask about the continuation of Adel's relationship with the mind.

Adel has asked family and witnesses not to speak in advance about the status of his relationship with Luki, who is now officially married. There is no official word yet.

In the hospital, the Princess is still faithful to accompany her best friend who is still mourned. Madina continued to cry over the passing of her father. This time the Princess focused her attention, fully to strengthen the heart of her best friend.

Instead of being without a burden, his own heart was actually being agitated. The phone that he had silent, repeatedly lit up his screen. From the corner of her eye she knew, only one number had contacted her from earlier, her brother.

The princess could already guess that her brother already knew that his future father-in-law had died. And surely Adel did not respond to his call either. While hugging Madina, the Princess kept thinking, how should she behave if her brother asked about Adel's situation. Surely the question will be long, because he also did not respond to his call.

Adel, who felt his body was still weak, invited Luki to go home. He said he wasn't strong enough to go back to the hospital. Her mother and sister are still being treated there. Luki complies with Adel's request. He took Adel home. No matter who's behind it.

“Mas. Sorry Adel, yes! Adel is not ready to carry out Adel's obligations as wife” Adel said in his sobs, after being in his room.

“Yes, not papa. I haven't thought about it. What matters now, Adel take a break! There are still mothers with Madin who need Adel”, Luki replied with a smile.

“Mas. I hope you are patient, yes. It will take time for Adel to bury all the memories of Adel the same mas Budi. Like wood, the carvings are too dalem. It took a struggle to change the flow of the engraving, until it was different altogether” pinta Adel.

“Make a great woman named Adelia Fitri, I'm ready to do anything. I may not be as good as you. But I will always try to be a husband who can be Adel Prominin”

“Still yes, mas”

Adel kissed Luki's hand, as a form of thanks. In his heart he admitted that he was not ready for more physical contact than that. Even if Luki has it legally.

***

Since the last lunch yesterday, Budi has not touched the food at all. He locked himself in the room all night. He did not respond at all when the door of his room was knocked. To the extent that Ratna was frightened and forced Erika to ask for help from the apartment manager. Together with the manager, they tried to open the door of Budi's room with an emergency key.

“Loh, Bud?”

Erika shouted in surprise. It turned out that Budi was not seen in his room. The bed was still neat, as if it had not touched anyone. Ratna ran towards the balcony.

“Di'”

Ratna shouted to tell Budi's position. Yes, Budi was in the balcony seat. He sleeps sitting. His phone seems to have fallen to the floor.

Ratna picked up the phone. When the motion sensor activates the screen, Farah sees a short message notification. Some messages lined up as if unrequited.

“Yeah, Bud. Why are you here?” erika's Comments. But Budi has not budged.

“She overslept, mbak. Looks like from yesterday afternoon mas Budi calling people home continue”

“Know where?” sahut Deni's.

“Budd. Nous. Wake, Bud!” erika said while shaking Budi's hand. But still not flinching.

“Bud, Mind. Build, dong!” said Erika again.

He shook his hands faster Budi.this time his efforts paid off. Wake up from his sleep.

His eyes gnawed and slowly began to open. He was confused when he found out that there were many people around him.

“Bud. You're not papa, are you?” ask Erika.

“Astaghfirullohal’adzim” said Budi while sighing heavily. It was like disappointment in his heart.

“Bud?” call Erika. He seemed like he wanted to ask, but he broke”

“Kirain really went with dad. Not only ngimpi” complained Budi.

“Astaghfirulloh, price. Say it first, dong! Serem, ih” reprimand Ratna.

“Emang I've met your father. Kirain real. I was really happy. It feels very plong. Where the house is really luxurious, again. The gardens are gaes, make you forget everything. I don't think about the same thing I usually think of” replied Budi.

His voice was weak, typical of people holding hunger. But there was a smile on his lips. That smile even made Ratna shed tears.

“We eat first, yuk! Hilda's cooking for all of us. Don't be rejected, yes!” bring Erika.

Been looking at him. They had a look. But Erika was confused by the intent of Budi's eyes. The half-empty look gave Erika an idea that Budi's mind was wandering. His spirit was also at a nadir point.

“You think strategy, you need manpower” said Erika. Budi scrunched his forehead.

“You fight, you need power. Want anything you need power” continued Erika. Be focused on him.

“But you human Bud, not small sequences, which pulled the tail continues ngacir” continued Erika again.

“Hempf. Ha ha ha ha ha ha”

Ratna and the others laughed at Erika's clumsiness. There is a faint smile that expands on Budi's lips. He also felt amused, compared to a shrewd toy that could run.

“Lu need to eat, Bud” continued Erika while chuckling.

Budi looked one by one at the faces of his colleagues. A feeling of guilt suddenly arises. Perhaps they were familiar with what he was going through, but he felt that otherwise he should have indulged too much in his sadness to make his comrades worry like this.

O Allah, is it too despicable for the servant until You have laid down such a bitter reality? I still wish this servant was dreaming. I still hope that what I hear is just plain banter. Slave still hope servant can interfere with lover of the servant heart, O Allah

“Bud?” erika Reprimand.

“Hem?” reflex answered.

“Breakfast first, yuk!” bring Erika.

Yes Alloh. None of them said Farah lied yesterday. No one said that what I heard from Farah was intrigue. Does that mean the news of the wedding is true, huh Alloh? Are they really married?

“Budd. Come, dong!” take Erika again.

“Do I want to takein?” Hilda finally spoke.

“Good idea” replied Erika.

“Breakfast here aja” deni chirps.

The others looked towards Deni. A moment later, they turned to look towards Budi.

“Where, bud?” ask Erika.

Not answering directly. He looked at them again, one by one. A few moments later, he nodded his head.

“Yeei” exciting Ratna.

“Thank you mister, for your help” Hilda told the manager of the apartment.

“Anything, anytime. Just call us if you need help” replied the german bule.

“Thank you”

There was a sound of their steps out of Budi's room to take cuisine in Hilda's room. Erika sighed quickly when she saw Budi daydreaming again.
