The Left Behind Story

38 ~ Times That Won't Be Longer

Never give hope if in the end you will only break it. Don't make promises if you can't keep them. ~Varo~

Every second, every minute, every time is only used to think of one name that until now has not given a single word. It hurts too much when Varo doesn't get any news about Bunga. Even almost every day Varo visited the house of Flowers, but he could never meet with Galang. I don't know where the kid went so it was hard to find.

“Varo, you why? Pain?” ask her Mommy when Varo looks pale.

“You sick?” connect Daddy.

Varo simply let out a rough breath and pulled out his chair. “Varo is fine,” he replied limply.

“Really? But Mommy sees you as never before. Does this have anything to do with flowers? Has he not sent word yet?”

Varo's head nodded slowly. “Iya, Mom. Until now, Bunga did not give any news that his phone number could not be contacted. Varo is afraid something has happened Flower.”

“Really?”

Varo stared straight at Mommy with his face. “Mom, help Varo, dong! Mommy and Daddy are friends with Bunga's parents. You can sleep if Mommy and Daddy contact Om Kara to ask about the news about Flowers. Varo no longer has a way to contact them,” pinta Varo.

Mommy Lusi looked at her husband. Not because they do not want to help, but they also can not contact Askara number or Asha number. Then how can they petrify Varo?

“Sorry, honey but Daddy and Mommy can't help you because, neither of us can call Askara's number nor Asha's number. Daddy has also been trying to find out about the problem, but until now Daddy has not got his bright spot,” explained Mommy Lusi to Varo.

They both tried to contact Askara who was currently carrying Bunga for treatment abroad, but their numbers were not active.

“Actually what has happened to them?” muttered Askara after hearing the explanation from her Mommy.

“Maybe Askara wants to focus on healing Flowers, so she turns off her phone. However, what is wrong if he gives news about his condition so as not to make us worry,” continued his Daddy Varo who also felt disappointed with Aksara's attitude.

“Have you not met Galang?” ask Mommy.

Varo shook his head slowly. “Numbers, Mom.”

Mommy Lusi knows very well how Varo feels who is very worried about the condition of Flowers. However, he also could not do anything. The only way is to see Galang to find out why none of his parents' numbers can be reached.

“Already, Mommy is sure if the current Flowers are fine. Wasn't she a strong woman. Mommy sure Flowers can get through everything well.”

“Daddy agrees with your Mommy, Varo. Daddy sure if the flowers are all right. Pray only, may the Flower always be in God's protection,” said his Daddy.

“Iya, Dadd. Varo always prays for the healing of Flowers.”

Far across there ...

Askara and Asha deliberately turned off their mobile numbers, because they did not know what kind of news to the Varo family. If Askara lies, she fears Varo and his family are disappointed. However, if he said honestly, Askara did not know how Varo would accept it, because at this time the condition of the Flower had greatly deteriorated. Even the specialist he chose had said that the flower would not last much longer.

“Ayah .. please don't tell Varo the truth. Flowers don't want Varo to know if Flowers can't last much longer,” Bunga told her father.

As a man and father, Askara tried to strengthen her heart. Which parents can when they see the state of his daughter who otherwise will not be able to last much longer.

“You take it easy, Dad won't tell Varo about your health. Do not think about what the doctor says, because it is just a prediction. Dad, sure you can get through all this well, because you are a strong boy.”

Asha who was beside Bunga tried not to shed her tears. He did not want to show his sorrow in front of the Flower. As much as possible Asha tried to be strong, even though it was very painful. Which he regretted why all this time did not know if the child was sick, although often saw the face of the flower that sometimes looks pale.

If only the flower immediately get treatment, maybe the disease will not be this severe. But it's all too late. Flower disease has spread so widely that there is no hope to survive.

A small smile was engraved wide on the lips of Flowers. For a moment he was already unsure if his life could last any longer. However, for the sake of Varo, he tried to do chemotherapy in hopes of being cured. However, in fact the flower disease is even getting worse.

“Dad, if the Flower can not survive, please convey the Flower apology to Aunt Gina. She told him that the man that Bunga had been to her house at the time was Varo. Bunga also asked my father to unite Varo with Aunt Gina. Aunt Gina has realized all the mistakes she made and is currently accepting her karma. Pity him, Dad. Live a day with worrying conditions,” said Bunga at length.

Askara nodded slowly as a sign of agreeing to the wishes of the Flower. “Iya. I'll bring them both together. Hopefully Varo can forgive what he has done by Gina.”

Away from the source of his encouragement, making the health condition of the Flower increasingly drop. It felt like he was tired of fighting, because in the end he was going to leave. It feels just useless when he tries to do various kinds of treatment, because all of that will not change the reality.

Varo .. I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I'm afraid that after hearing your voice I'm more afraid and unwilling that the angels will pick me up. I was afraid of being selfish to myself. Did you know Varo, the doctor here says that I have about a month left. If you knew it would be like this, I wouldn't want to fly here, Varo. Varo ... I'm tired ....

Suddenly the flower sobbed in her cry. He really could not afford to leave in such a short time. There are still many tasks that have not been accomplished. One of them finds Ghea, Varo's long-lost half-brother.

“Daddy ... Mommy. Flowers want to rest,” said Bunga to two people who were beside him.

Mom and Dad understood the words of Bunga and immediately left the nursery. "Yes, Mother came out. Later if you need anything call father and mother. We are both at the door,” said the mother.

The Flower Head just nodded slowly and a smile that never faded, even though his heart was currently broken.

“Thank you dad, thank you Mommy for understanding.”
