The Love Competition

8. good-bye eyang

" You don't want to perform the operation "dr Andre repeated the word Dila .The girl nodded weakly .

" My grandfather was a soldier, a body that could not do anything worse than death to him, after all the doctor who said the chances of succeeding was only thirty percent "Dila answered steadily .

" current treatment will not help him, and I cannot guarantee he will be aware of, I hope you understand your choice . As a doctor though thirty percent it remains a hope despite other risks "dr andre explained .

" that was his desire "answer Dila steady .

" Please give her the best treatment room "Dila continued her speech with a quivering voice .

" Well if that's what you want" said Dr Andre with a friendly smile .

" You can take care of everything in the administration section, hopefully there is still a miracle for us" said Dr. Andre . Dila immediately resigned and took care of inpatient administration in the first classroom for the grandfather .

" Please take care in the VIP room" said Mr. Gunawan who suddenly appeared with Jordi . The old man was no longer in a wheelchair, he walked gallantly beside the grandson

" It's a gift from a friend" he said, looking warmly at Dila's face .

" Cake.no need.."

" Don't reject it "mister Gunawan cut Dila's words off .

" Jordi takes care of everything "he said to the granddaughter who was only answered with a nod . Dila thanked him, Mr. Gunawan led the girl to sit on a chair while waiting for Jordi to finish the administration .

It didn't take long to get a VIP inpatient room . Not for an hour they were already in a large room .

Mr. Gunawan lay on the long sofa at Dila's persuasion, he rested while waiting for Mr. Nurdin to pick him up . Jordi seemed to be sitting quietly on a sofa . Mang Karman sat on the sofa together with Dila, everyone in the room was busy with their own thoughts .

*****

Two days of Saka's eyeang in hospital, but no change . Mr. Gunawan remains diligent in accompanying Dila to take care of the grandfather . Jordi had returned home to Bandung one day ago by train .

mak Asih and Lilis came alternately to the hospital . Only close people know the state of eye saka, Dila asked everyone who worked for her family not to talk about her grandfather's circumstances .

That afternoon Iilis planned to deliver Dila's food at the hospital . mak Asih was worried because mang Karman told me his master's grandchild only ate a little . hence he asked Lilis to make sure Dila had eaten before returning home .

"When you eat, you are very worried to hear that you are not eating" said Lilis while putting the food she brought on the table .

" i will eat later" said Dila who was sitting on the sofa .

Lilis pulled the girl to a seat in front of a short table where she placed her luggage . Quickly the girl opened the lunch box in front of her and put the spoon in Dila's right hand .

" i'm not going anywhere before you spend this" said Lilis as she thrust the box in front of Dila and sat down in front of the girl .

Dila did not say anything . The girl took her food and put it in her mouth . Dila ate her food some mouthfuls of mouthfuls . But after a while Dila felt so claustrophobic that it was hard to swallow food with her favorite menu . But the girl's hand kept putting the makakaknan into her mouth until her mouth was full .

" what are you doing .." lilis approached Dila while wiping her tears, she then gave the girl a glass of water .but Dila instead cried while trying to swallow her food , he even continued to eat the food while shedding tears . Lilis was only able to look at the employer who had become his friend and brother while crying .

Beside the bed Mr. Gunawan who had been watching them just took a deep breath, trying to loosen his chest that felt tight .

*****

" You know.I envy your eyes "the voice of the master gunawan makes Dila who is sitting next to the bed while looking at the grandfather turned towards him .

" his life was so perfect "mister Gunawan looked at Dila with a smile .

" He has an amazing family and a wonderful life . should grandfather also choose a life like him " continued Mr. Gunawan .

" life like eyang ? meaning ? " Dila stared at Mr. Gunawan not understanding .

" you know.that afternoon when I went with him ? " ask Mr. Gunawan .

Dila scrunched her forehead then nodded .

"We talked a lot about you that day " continued Mr. Gunawan .

Dila looked at Mr. Gunawan with pushy eyes .

" He believes you know what's best for yourself and everyone .he thinks you're really his grandson . So there's no reason for him to be afraid of leaving you . He even laughed at grandfather "master Gunawan laughs insipidly .

" Why ? " Task Dila .

" For grandfather must not die though he wishes . Grandpa has many children and grandchildren but they all can't Grandpa trust . Grandfather was even in debt " replied Mr. Gunawan lethargic .

Dila laughed at Mr. Gunawan's complaint .

" Is that true? , isn't it the grandfather of the rich ? " Task Dila innocently

" Well you know.many people say, the richer a person is the greater the debt, it's all true "mister Gunawan speaks while walking towards Dila .

" You know.he's a wonderful man, a brave soldier, a wonderful father, also a friend who will be missed by many people " muttered Mr. Gunawan .

" Yes.he is such a person "said Dila while taking a deep breath .

" He always does his best in life ', grandfather thought there was nothing he regretted in this life " murmured master Gunawan as he stared warmly at the sweet girl beside him . Dila nodded confirming Mr. Gunawan's words .

" So grandfather, I think it's time "said Mr. Gunawan softly .

" Relieve Him dear.., He would have been eager to meet his soulmate who had been waiting for him for quite a while" said Mr. Gunawan as he gently patted the girl's back .

" Grandfather wants to get some fresh air outside." said Mr. Gunawan after the two fell silent for a while .

Dila looked at her grandfather's face in . His conversation with Mr. Gunawan made him want to end the uncertainty that he later .

" Eyang...what does he hear Dila ..? " Dila muttered as she clasped the grandfather's hand .

" I guess it's time to say goodbye, 'Eyang ngin home isn't it ? " Dila took a breath and exhaled it strongly strongly, trying to strengthen her heart .

" Don't forget the eye-to-eye promise to watch me from the spot, don't worry Dila will be looking for someone who is very nice and certainly more handsome than eye-to-eye for a date " Dila whispered while holding back her tears .

" Have a good-bye" Dila gently kissed the back of her grandfather's hand, the girl then got up from her seat .

Dila stepped towards the bathroom , the girl washed her face then took the water of ablution . Before long the girl came out, took her face and performed the evening prayer . with kusu' Dila begged Allah to give her eyes the ease to return to her or to the creator . dila's tears were incessantly flowing as long as she did a . Dila wiped her face water after she finished praying .

Simultaneously bedside monitor reads . The voice , which he was very familiar with because he often heard it from the sad drama he watched .

Dila moved from her seat with a pounding heart .her legs half ran towards the bed where her grandfather was lying down , quickly her hands snatched the button to call the nurse . dila's tears flowed even though there was no sound of crying from her mouth .

Doctors and nurses arrived . Mr. Gunawan and everyone else also ran to the ward to see the doctor and nurse there .everyone gathered to accompany him . The medical team tried their best to help him but in the end they only resigned to the fate of Esa .

" Time of death at 01:06" said Dr Tomi, the night's doctor .

Everyone in the room was bowed to the doctor's words . Dila who was still using her face just kept wiping her eyes that did not stop letting out tears .

The nurses immediately removed all the tools attached to the body of Saka's eyes these two days . The atmosphere of the room was quite calm just a slow stuffing of Dila that sounded . Mang Karman faithfully accompanied the girl .

Mr. Gunawan approached the body of Saka's eyes, kissed his friend's forehead then rubbed his face .

" Goodbye friend.., "Slow whisper .

" We want to bring him home tonight as well doc" Mr Gunawan told doctor Tomi . The doctor nodded .

" Nurdin..urus everything as soon as possible, and Karman.kabari the house man "mister Gunawan said loudly to Pak Nurdin and mang Karman who were still glued .

" Good sir." replied Mr. Nurdin who was always on standby near his employer after Jordi returned to Bandung .

He immediately went to the administration .

Mang Karman also immediately contacted Mak Asih and several plantation employees and Pak lurah .
