The Gem of the Heart of the Former Thug

meeting two former

There was a moment of silence, for both did not know what to answer.

“Oh yes, ma'am. Motorcycle no longer exists, Mom? Have you been to watu sack?” tanya Ratna tried to break the stiffness.

“Loh. Mbak Ratna has not been told?” sahut ma'am Ratih.

“You know what, ma'am?”

“Mas Budi again in the hospital, mbak” said Princess.

“Loh. What pain?” ask Liza.

“Not the Bud, mbak Liza” sahut bu Ratih.

“Oh”

“Who's sick, ma'am?” cut Ratna.

“Mbak Erika” reply bu Ratih.

“Mbak Rica?”

“Iya. said Mas Budi, mbak Rika fainted in the office. Continue to bring the same security mas Aldo to the ER. Just because Aldo did not hold the money, he called Budi. Therefore semalem mas Budi to sana” replied Putri.

“Ya Alloh. What sick is Rika, huh? The right feeling I say no why-why”

*tin*

The sound of car horns distracts them.

“Loh?"

Ratna was surprised to see the car she was so familiar with parked behind the car she was driving. Then the owner of the car came out and walked into the yard of this house.

“Assalamu’alaikum”

There was a greeting from the newly arrived guest.

“Wa’alaikum salam”

“Eh, loh?”

Ratna was confused when she heard that Ratih and Putri answered the greeting in full.

“What wind sir Paul, come early in the morning?” ask Mom Ratih. Because there was a happy smile on his face.

“You to office, mom. Keep keinget, Erika said that Mrs Ratih wants to save. That's why I stopped by for this love” replied Mr. Paul.

“Ya Alloh sir, everything is coming. Thank you, sir. Please sit down first, sir!”

“Thanks, Mrs Ratih. But today I do not want first Ratna to get to the office” replied Mr. Paul. That answer provoked laughter all over.

“Oh yes sir. Ma'am Rika what's her condition now, sir?” ask Ratna.

“Alhamdulillah, said Budi anyway, already meningan. But still need a break. Taste, he” replied Paul sir.

Ratna did not answer immediately. He felt weird about Paul's answer this time. He wondered, what was the purpose of saying hamdalah?

“Then, I say goodbye first, Mr. Ratih” said Mr. Paul later.

“Maggied made to drink, pak” said Princess.

“Wadd. It's hard to resist, actually. Sorry, but I have a promise with the client. And since Erika cannot attend, I need to file first in the office” replied Paul.

“There can I help you with, sir?” tawar Ratna's.

“Nevent gone, Na. There are things you cannot see, because” replied Paul straightforwardly.

“Oh. Mr nyimpen his photo of Ratih ma'am, yes?” ratna Goda.

“Is. Lemes” sergeant Liza.

“It is your photo, again sedain Budi” replied Paul.

Liza glared towards Ratna.

“Ih, never” said Ratna in self-defense. He felt accused by Liza's eyes.

“Bapak don't make rumors, deh! Home address on foot, can-can” protest Ratna.

“Hempf. Ha ha ha” sir Paul laughed at the expression on Ratna's face.

“Ya already, I say yes, bu?”

“Ya Alloh, really do not want ngeteh first” sahut bu Ratih.

“He he's. Assalamu’alaikum”

“Wa’alaikum salam”

Again Ratna felt strange with the answer of Ratih and Putri. But to ask, he was not brave either.

When Mr. Paul's car has gone, enter one motor driven by a woman. The dark glass of his helmet made his face invisible. But the Princess instantly recognized who came it.

“Din. Wanted mbak Adel” call Princess.

Madina who was in the living room immediately came out. And he was stunned to see a bongsor motor similar to Budi's.

“Loh? Adel?” ratna murmured, as the helmet was removed.

“Assalamu’alaikum” greet Adel.

“Wa’alaikum salam” answer everything on the terrace.

Adel directly sungkem on Ratih's mom, as was his custom. He also greeted Liza as well as Ratna. With Ratna he asked the news.

“Bu Ratih, Adel there is need with Madina. May I speak to Madina?” adel asked, Mrs Ratih smiled.

“Talk carefully, yes!” answer to Ratih.

“Yes, bu” says Adel.

He faced the door, where there was already someone he was going to. Stiffness due to the presence of Adel. And Adel just gave Madina his phone. Madina looked serious at the video that Adel played. And he sighed when the video was over.

“But Madin wants to help first here, mbak” said Madina.

“Dek. You don't pity mom? Udah from yesterday, nangis continue” said Adel.

Madina did not answer. It was still on his face that his frustration had not completely subsided.

“Sorry Shoot yes, deck! They cannot divide the time. Embak is still kicking. But shoot promises, shoot will always take time to make Madin”

“What is possible?” ask Madina.

“Maybe” replied Adel.

Adel understood what his sister meant. About Luki's selfishness.

“Embak will make it possible” Adel continued.

“Resicles are heavy, mbak” says Madina.

“But not as heavy as losing you, dek” replied Adel.

Madina stunned. There was a faint smile that adorned his lips. But his eyes still showed a vexation that had not completely disappeared.

“Madin grasp the words embak”

“Yes. Hold the words shoot!” sahut Adel's.

“Ingetin Shoot, if you forget!” continued Adel.

Madin nodded. Then he turned to look at Mrs Ratih. As if asking for permission.

“Go home, nduk! Next time can play again” said bu Ratih.

“Good, bu” replied Madina.

“Udah, aja cave that take” said Putri, when Madina want to enter the house.

Shortly thereafter, the Princess had returned with Madina's backpack. But he came back with a head shake.

“Why?” ask Madina confused.

“People if you run away bring clothes, this even bring a pot. You want to run away, do you want a demo?” replied Princess.

“Hempf” Madina chuckles at Princess's complaint.

“Udah spirit cave carry. I'm a rich nature lover, use the back flip style. Kirain is heavy, not lightly. Mana sonorous really fitting hit ubun-tubun. Duaang” continued Princess.

“Ha ha ha ha”

Madina could not help but laugh. Likewise with others who listen to the words of the Princess. Kelakar Putri successfully make the atmosphere stiff become liquid.

“Cause go home, Put? Thanks for everything” said Madina.

“Iya, equally” replied Princess.

Madinapun shifted to Ratih ma'am.

“Bu. Madin, let's go home, ma'am? Thank you so much Madin nginep” pamit Madina.

“Iya, nduk. Don't be sad, ah! The same goodbye period all use sad it?” answer to Ratih.

Madina is confused to hear the word ‘bude’ said bu Ratih.

“And my mother is older than your mother. Mother is your bud. And you call me, shoot. Hi hi hi” said Putri explained.

“Embak? I don't want to, ah. I am kualat mulu. Not cool if you deket, no nusil” reject Madina.

“Ha ha ha. Suek” suhut Princess.

“We said yes, ma'am. Thank you, it is deigned to accommodate Madina” Adel pampit.

“Same-sama, nduk. Ati-ati on the road, yeah! Say hello to your mother!” answer to Ratih.

“Good, bu”

Salim on Ratih's mom. Then greet again the two guests of Ratih. They went down to prepare their own motors.

“Assalamu’alaikum” their exclamation.

“Wa’alaikum salam” answer everything.

***

At the hospital, Erika looks fresher. He finished the breakfast menu this morning. He was also able to walk, although Budi did not let him go to the toilet alone.

He was still worried that Erika would collapse and fall. Even his worries had caused a sense of amusement and invited Erika's laughter. Because Budi had wanted to help him get to the sitting toilet.

The worry he did not make up, and a beautiful smile, as he swiftly led Erika, when Erika was done with her wishes.

“I'm not kliyengan, mas. I can walk on my own. Are you worried?” asked Erika while laughing.

“Eemm”

Budi who was still standing after helping Erika climb back to her nursery bed, looked clumsy.

“I, I, I also do not know, why I can be as worried as this” replied Budi.

That stammered answer made Erika gasp. He saw a different expression on Budi's face. As he remembered, only this time did he see that expression.

“Sorry” Further Budi.

Erika smiled at the continued words Budi. He looked at that handsome face that was looking down. There was happiness in his eyes.

“I am not uncomfortable, mas” said Erika a moment later.

Be able to hold his head up. The look in his eyes implied that he did not understand that remark. Erika gestured for Budi to sit down first. Budipun.

“Newly this time I was treated to such a high. Yes assisted the first time sick as well, but there is no greget let alone until I was worried about Budi mas earlier” continued Erika.

There was a smile on Budi's lips. Among her unhealed heartache, she felt flattered to be praised by Erika. They stared at each other for a while.

“Alhamdulillah” comment Budi, give thanks.

Erika frowned. He has not found a correlation between his answer and gratitude. Which one is she grateful for?

“Means?” asked Erika, after a while there was no continuation of Budi.

“That means I'm still more handsome and more charming than who is that? Tio?” reply Budi.

“ADOOW”

Budi screeched feeling a pinch landing on his left cheek.

“Kok even nyubit? Said cake?” budi Protest.

“Mas would like to follow Riki, give me?” erika asked, shaking her waist.

“Hempf. Ha ha ha ha ha”

Budi laughed loosely, found his temptation to hit hard. Erika glared at Budi laughing loosely. But his lips are smiling.
