The Story of My Time

Episode 111

Maybe he felt sorry to see the thin body lying on the patient's bed, considering ripa'i know how my brother's body used to be.

I almost finished eating someone knocking on the door.

" Excuse me! Miss, did you order food? " Task the nurse when she opens the door.

" Yes, did I come "question back after answering the question.

" Yes, he's waiting at the registration place" he said, to which I replied with a nod.

" Okay, excuse me! " Say, I see he had a glance at ripa'i and had a smile but I do not want to ignore it even though there is a sense of unwillingness ripa'i in the lyrics of other women. What's wrong with me! Didn't I always think about this, even when the ripa'i joked with another woman I was never like this.

" I'm out for a second! " My pamphlets to ripa'i.

" It's not necessary! Let me take it, you continue to eat "he said as he got up from his seat.

When the ripa'i came out of the pitu, I also finished with my meal, I sipped the water that was bought at noon pitri and I saved it back.

When ripa'i comes back! I was next to my sister playing my phone, texting some of my friends.

" It's done? " Tanya ripa'i quietly, I replied with a nod

" You better rest, let me take care of you tonight! " Talk

" sthat mean? " I asked, because how can I rest

" You just sleep! " wanted

" I just woke up when you came! " Reply

" So you're not going to sleep? " Seek out to make sure

" Maybe later, I don't want to fall asleep right now" I replied

And finally! Ripa'i and I just kept quiet no one spoke, I kept playing with my phone and she was the same, I had a look at her because I thought she was going to fall asleep but she wasn't, when I glanced at him he smiled at me, it felt like a long time ago I didn't see that smile.

Ripa'i got up from her seat, she walked over to me and held my hand, pulled it slowly so that I would follow her, it turned out that she led me to sit next to her in the long chair that was in the room.

She looked at me fixedly, rubbing my head gently.

Then he said.

" Be honest with me! Who is my substitute in your heart, I am sure that place is still mine! " She said softly.

Subhanallah!! It felt like my heart was screaming at her ever-soft words when talking to me or my family.

He kept staring at me until I turned my eyes away from him.

" why? Don't you dare face me, or are you afraid to ask me back! " His words, this time his words made me put on my flat face, a little dislike of the words.

" Why just shut up, did you really get my replacement? " Tanya came back, not one bit I want to answer her question, but I like to hear her voice.

I saw an annoyed look begin to appear on his face, after which appeared a sly grin.

" Or you want me to do something to you outside of my health, I replied Rinjani "he said with emphasis and I remained silent.

In lowering his head, the hand that was holding my hand he let go.

" Do I not deserve to be with you, am I too cowardly because I always ask you to wait "he said slowly with his head down.

" Answer me Dena Rinjani! Don't make me go crazy like this, please tell me what can convince your heart back because I know it's just me there not "he said back, my heart slashed, it felt like hearing ripa'i, so long we maintained everything even every mockery I never heard, but a glenca was able to make me vibrate, she said, collapsed from my defense because only he dared to play with my family.

Can't stand all the ripa'i words that seem to describe how painful and fragile he is at this time, I also made a sound.

" But you also know, I'm even more afraid that my family will be hurt, if they have to share the impact of my selfishness" I said.

Ripa'i took my hand, she smiled at me as if she wanted to convince me that everything would be fine.

" We do this together, I promise everything will be fine, and regarding your family, my people who will protect them, just a little more Rinjani I beg you "he said with sincerity.

" Can I trust you? " I doubt I asked him, and immediately got a serious look from him.

" Say! In what way can I convince you to come back? " Ask me.

I was confused too, because all this time ripa'i never made me doubt him, just because of my fear of family that makes me have to do this all, all of it, far from the bottom of my heart I feel sorry for Ripa'i, too much burden in his life even though he did not tell me but I know it, and I felt like I was taking part in reducing that burden one by one.

" Finished my brother's surgery and he's recovered, I want us to get married! " Flat I said and got a sharp glare from ripa'i.

Maybe he thought, not all this time I have always delayed his proposal, and this time I asked him to marry me directly, but believe me all that I have thought well, I have thought well, this is how I can help him.

" Are you serious about your words! " the question made sure I didn't say anything wrong, and I answered with a nod of certainty.

Ripa'i smiled seeing me nod, she suddenly hugged me tightly and said.

" You know, that's the word I've been waiting for all this time" he said, I returned a hug ripa'i tears came out just like I was feeling the day that was too great to hear his words.

" I miss you ripa'i "my words and ripa'i tightened his arms.

Before long, only briefly ripa'i took off his embrace. She looked at me sweeping the tears that came out of my eyes.

I smiled warmly as my tears stopped flowing.

The next second he kissed my forehead long enough and I just quietly received the ripa'i treatment, continued it to my lips just a glance just stick, in my heart, I want to laugh to see his behavior.

" I'll fulfill your request, we get married after you get home from here! " Say him and I nodded.

Some say my love story is sweet, some say it is also ordinary but for me my love story is very sweet, not infrequently also say complicated, some say complicated, but this is a life where it all seems ingrained in humans.

***

At exactly 7am, me and ripa'i were ready to wait for the doctor who was going to operate on my sister, I felt trembling in my body afraid that something bad would happen.

Ripa'i took my hand and said.

" Don't be weak in front of them, you are their strength" he said softly and I nodded.

Uh! I felt like a child always obeying his words.

" Will my mom and dad come? " Seek me

" Hey'mh! Later in the afternoon, they will replace me on guard "my answer

No more questions from ripa'i.

At eight o'clock my brother was taken by a nurse but I haven't seen the doctor who will handle my brother.

I followed where they took my brother, until they stopped at the door that had the operating room written.

I was trembling but trying hard, if it used to be when Asiah was undergoing this, I was ordinary but this time it felt different maybe because he was my biological sodara.

Kaka I was brought in there, after everything entered there was only one person who just came complete with the operating uniform he was wearing.

" Do your best for my brother" I said, but the doctor only dimmed and then walked into the room.

For a long time we just sat in the front door, no words came out of my mouth, because in my heart I kept busy saying prayers for my brother to be given the best in his treatment.
