The Gem of the Heart of the Former Thug

adel's quarrel

“Astaghfirulloh. Rika accident where?”

“Not an accident, Bud. He fainted in the office”

“In office? Will he come home with me?”

“Where do I know? I went back to the office to get a charger. Uh, I'm glad Rika's still in the office. I think he overslept. I woke up, I was. But I was shaking his shoulder until he was on a date, he didn't respond. Where cold again his body. Yes already, I ask security bring a car to nganter mbak Rika to ER”

“Set you where now?”

“Ya is still in the ER, Bud. Get it here! His handling is clandestine, Bud. I no longer hold that much money”

“Oh. Okay. wait, huh? OTW nih”

“OK. assalamu’alaikum”

“Wa’alaikum salam”

*Tuuut*

Budi immediately rushed immediately after the phone connection was cut off. He brought some equipment, just in case Erika had to be hospitalized. While crossing Fitri, he got a question mark, but the one looking at him did not dare to ask.

“Where are you, mas?”

The voice of the Princess made everyone on the terrace turn to her. Here he was confused to answer how. There is Adel who seems to have improved with Madina. Including the Princess.

“Where are you, ngger? how to bring all bags?”

If this is the case, you will not have to answer.

“Rika enter ER, bu” replied Budi.

“What?” The princess screamed unconsciously.

“Loh. Why did Rika enter ER?” ask Ratih ma'am.

Here Budi could see, there was a trace of jealousy on Adel's face. But he was silent, because he felt he had no right to protest against her, especially to his mother.

“Budi doesn't know yet, ma'am. Just called Aldo. He who saw Rika passed out in the office” replied Budi.

“Ya. Ati-ati, yes! Is it clear you want hospitalization?”

“Not yet know. Just in case aja”

“Ya. Ati-ati!” pesen bu Ratih's.

Budipun left after saying his regards. There was a stiff atmosphere on the terrace. Because Madina also had time to feel jealous to find Princess and Miss Ratih attention with Erika, who incidentally is a rival of her brother.

But he also realized, if there is no obligation anymore for Mrs Ratih and Princess to keep her feelings. He shook his head, trying to get rid of the feeling of jealousy that was not in time anymore.

Riding his motorbike at moderate speed. His mind was half wandering. His cynical smile came out. In his heart came a feeling of relief. Like the feeling of someone who has been persecuted, and can take revenge for the persecution. As if he wanted to say, you can break my heart, I can also break your heart.

But then he shook his head. His conscience is in revolt. His conscience seemed to say, if such feelings are not worth addressing Adel. Because the love and desire to have it is still not lost. And Adel did not intend to destroy it, but was compelled by circumstances.

Arriving at the hospital, Budi went straight to the ER. Where already seen Aldo pacing in front of the ER room.

“Do. How's Erika?” ask Budi.

“Alhamdulillah, you are coming. It was done action. But you have to take care of his administration” replied Aldo.

“He where?”

“In dalem” reply Aldo.

Budipun directly into the ER room. And it looks like Erika is being examined by a doctor. Budipun.

“Sorry. You looking for who?”

A nurse surprised him.

“Oh. I am Erika's family, sus” replied Budi.

“Oh, fine. Patients on behalf of Erika Tungga Dewi are being treated. Better come with us to take care of administration”

“If you may know, patient why yes, sus?”

“Initial indication, patient fatigue. But still observed further by the team doctor” replied the nurse.

“Good, sus”

Budipun followed the nurse. He filled the blank that the nurse gave him to fill. After he finished filling up, a doctor walked up to him. He said the patient was stable.

Patients suffer from physical fatigue and excessive stress. There are also indications that patients are late to eat or even do not eat all day, so they do not have enough energy to undergo their activities that the doctor's guess is quite stressful. And the doctor also said that this patient should be hospitalized.

“Good, doc. Do your best! I will follow doctor”'s advice

“Then, I say goodbye first”

“Please, doc. Please” reply Budi.

Aldo was seen entering the ER room approaching him. Just as the doctor came out through the same door.

“Where, Bud?” ask Aldo.

“What?”

“Yes conditions mbak Rica, lah”

“Oh. The doctor said it was stable. But I haven't seen, sih”

“Administration?”

“Udah” replied Budi with a smile.

“Thank God. Swear, Bud. I'm so confused. If I have that money, I don't think long. It will be replaced this. Unfortunately nothing, Bud”

“Iya, yes. Thank you very much, Do. I don't know what bales use”

“Udah, the important mbak Rica congratulations. Check the conditions, yuk!” answer Aldo.

“Yuk”

They went to the bed where Erika was taken care of. He looked pale with his eyes closed. He's still unconscious.

Budi noticed the infusion hose and oxygen mask that were placed on Erika's body. For a moment, his memory floated on Adel. But immediately put aside. That woman has been owned by someone else. There's no point in thinking about it.

“Bud” call Aldo down.

“I can say goodbye first, can't I? I actually have a promise”

“Oh. Okay. Thank you very much, Erika” answered Budi.

“No papa yes, I stay?”

“Ngak papa's. Safe, kok”

“Ya. Assalamu’alaikum”

“Wa’alaikum salam”

Aldopun left after shaking hands with Budi. Just sit by yourself waiting for Erika.

*He didn't come home with me? Is it possible that he actually did not come home, because I just played? Stress because of what? Not every day also stress thinking of work? And all this time was fine too. And since when does an Erika not eat*?

Adel came home empty-handed. He could not persuade his sister to go home. Although there has been an agreement between the mothers, but Adel is still not sure. She was still worried that her mother would still be sad.

“Mana Madin, who?”

Luki's voice did not make Adel stop. He just passed from the living room, went upstairs.

“The story is even glaring. Yank”

But Adel did not turn his head, let alone stop. She was upset with her husband. Luki got up from her seat and caught up with his wife. Luckily the door was not locked by Adel.

“Why are you, anyway? Asked why nyuekin?”

“Madina won't go home. He just wanted to go home if mbok Yem already not in this house anymore”

“Haaah boy. Bikin bothered aja” muttered Luki.

Adel snorted, as he could still listen to Luki's murmur. But he tried to be patient and pretended not to hear the murmur.

“Tomorrow, mas must be surein, mbok Yem back to solo! I do not want to see sad mother again” Adel's orders.

“Lah. It can't be, it is. My schedule is on tomorrow. Must meet some customers”

“Ya. That's what I brought mbok Yem to solo”

“Mbok Yem it has been diwasiatin papa to come with me. Cover him nursing”

“Ya. So we stayed at solo”

“Kok is?”

“Yes, Iah. Madin says I'm cute, I'm not home. Want a busy day outside the same mas, I do not nongol in this house”

“Ya new time move here already want to go back to sono again? Where do you want to put my face?”

Adel looked up at the words.

“How about with PRAM order?”

“Yes it's a matter of mas, lah. That's what happened, mas. I really don't want”

“Lah. It can't be, it is. Yes, about Madin thought while walking! We have a lot to think about. You want this workshop forward what not?”

“Lah. Yes you can't, lah. Nothing to do, “

“Stop! You must obey the orders of the husband!”

“Mas. If the husband's order is true, it is obligatory for a wife to obey the same order. But if the order is wrong. There is a right for a wife to not obey the same wrong order it”

“Where is it?”

“Yes wrong, lah. Masa mas nyepelein my sister? Uh, mas. Mother cried continuously from noon. Madin's mother was sad to see her run away from home. From noon also I have been indifferent to continue to obey you. Do you think all of that is true?”

“Yes instead of nyepelein, which. Just need some habituation between Madin and mbok Yem”

“This is home, mother's home, mas. So it's only natural that Madin has power over this house”

“Yes but I also can't move mbok Yem that's it, which. Mbok Yem has taken me from childhood. He knows the most about me”

“Ya. You live just the same mbok Yem, in Solo. I'm here with Madin”

“Well, what is it, talking?”

“Mas. I'm from small, live with Madin. From this house is still gedhek. I didn't count how many times Madin helped me. I don't know how many rice dishes go into my stomach. Part of what every mallem enjoys is Madin's work. Although mas? Yesterday it came to my life. So if you ask me to choose, yes I choose Madin, lah” replied Adel.

Luki gasped at Adel's stern reply.

“And if from Adel's choice, mas ask back the money that mas pinjemin to the father, Adel will flipin, mas. Although Adel kere, Adel still able to balikin”

“You didn't do it anyway, marry me?”

“What?” Adel laughed at the silly question.

“I have obeyed the same mas from morning until malem, you enjoy also every malem, still you ask keikhlasanku, mas?”

“Yes because you just ngeyel. Tomorrow I'm talking to Madin again, “

“No more negotiation, mas” cut Adel.

Luki gasped at the sharp look from his wife's eyes.

“Your choice is just two. I hope you made the first choice. I don't want to see Yem again in this house” continued Adel. Luki still did not comment.

“Don't make me disrespectful to you! Don't take this heart back I'm padlock. Still want to know who I am? I still have the prestige to ngusir mas from here” continued Adel again.

For a while, Luki did not immediately answer Adel's words. They still look at each other.

“OK, okay. I said same mama du” replied Luki later.

“Tonight, I slept with mom”

“Loh, “

“Do not argue! Make sure tomorrow morning, mbok Yem leave this house!” cut Adel.

He came out of the room with a very bad feeling. The feeling of dislike for Luki had come back since getting a sharp look from her sister earlier this afternoon. Just like when Luki used to play not knowing the time.
