The Waiting of Alya's Love
Chapter 21
Rendra went straight to the hospital as soon as he heard that the woman who gave birth to him had to be hospitalized. According to the story of the brother, his mother suddenly fell unconscious while going to dinner.
Now here comes the twenty-eight-year-old, in front of the ICU. Saw some medical device attached to his mother's body. His mother had not been conscious for three hours and was critically ill.
There was regret in Rendra's mind. He would be a child of disobedience if his mother left not able to forgive him who put up a fight. Besides, the young man felt he could not make his parents happy.
"Mother was in Jogja this afternoon, she said she wanted to see you. After returning from Jogja the face of the mother looked pale, when asked only replied tired. After dinner, the mother suddenly fell when she just came out of the room" Raysa told her sister without being asked.
The woman's gaze was straight ahead, where her mother was lying helplessly. As a first child, she knew how much she loved her children. No parent wants to see their child suffer.
Rendra's mother betrothed him to Pratiwi because of the girl's personality that touched the middle-aged woman's heart niche. During this time, Pratiwi always accompanied him when his children were busy with his work.
Rendra was three brothers, the youngest child and the only son of Adi Nugraha. Every will of Rendra is always obeyed because they rejuvenate the only boy. However, the more followed by his will he did not see the sacrifice of the mother.
Rendra's mother has terminal brain cancer. During chemotherapy always accompanied by Pratiwi. Everyone knows about his illness except Rendra.
Rendra's mother deliberately kept it a secret because she did not want to see the child undergo marriage for arranged marriage with great force. The middle-aged woman just wants her son to happily marry a woman who is gentle and has a good personality.
In the morning, Rendra's mother regained consciousness. When he opened his eyes, the person he was looking for the first time was Rendra, the favorite child.
"Mom wants to see you get married, when mom is soon," said Rendra's mother stammered.
Hearing that, Rendra's father, Adi Nugraha, immediately contacted the penghulu as well as the Suryanegara Pratiwi family. Not only that, some families who will be witnesses of the marriage were also contacted to come to the hospital immediately.
Rendra is still in shock when the doctor says only the miracle of God helped her mother. As much as possible make the patient happy and grant his request. Who knows it was the last request from Rendra's mother.
An hour later, Rendra had legitimately become Pratiwi's husband. Although only an impromptu and simple marriage, the marriage was already registered in KUA before. Both sides of the family did so because they saw the state of Ratih Adi Nugraha that was getting weaker.
In the afternoon after Ashar, the ECG machine sounded loud. On the monitor screen shows a straight line. Shortly thereafter, doctors declared that the patient had died at three in the afternoon for more than five minutes.
Meanwhile, Alya continued to work as usual. His ailing heart he covered with many joined his office friends. He purposely delayed meeting with the clients today, for the sake of sanity.
"Al, where's your ring? Friday's feeling yesterday you still wear deh," asked one of Alya's coworkers.
"Huh?" Alya put on a surprised face and panicked so they knew the ring was gone without Alya knowing. Though his heart was crying, remembering the ring.
"A ring that big doesn't feel like it's gone?"
"Well, where was the last time you took the ring off?"
Alya pinched, her heart throbbing more and more pain. Pretending to be happy is so painful. Is he able to live always pretending to be happy when his heart is broken into pieces?
In the afternoon, Alya chose to go home early to maintain her brain sanity. He couldn't bear to pretend to be happy all day. The girl did not go straight back to the cafe, but down the street Malioboro.
Alone walking down a road full of tourists, both from home and abroad. Alya could forget for a moment her sadness. The girl smiled faintly when she saw the behavior of the buskers while singing a song that sounded funny in her opinion.
When the sky showed twilight, Alya returned to the place where she parked her car. It was time for her to go home, again feeling the pain of letting go of her beloved heart. Even so, the girl tries to stay happy because she already knows the key to loving someone.
As Rendra said before becoming her lover, do not be too deep in loving someone, you will be disappointed. Those words that he instilled in his heart so that the pain of separation no longer affected the activities he was doing.
Alya returned a smile as she entered her cafe. Cafe who became a silent witness, the rise and fall of an Alya Khaneshia in a romance.
"Sir, the police came here. He said Rendra's mother died" said Murni, one of his employees.
"Innalilahi wa innailaihi roji. When's death?" sahut Alya was surprised to hear the news, when yesterday afternoon they had just met.
The shock was definitely because they had never intersected, suddenly meeting and issuing a heart-piercing threat. Just yesterday the mother asked him to stay away from the child because he had been betrothed to the mother's friend
"Well, pol, it's three o'clock. Tomorrow morning, wait for the second child to study abroad. As soon as the word mas pol before leaving," explained Pure without reducing or exaggerating the story.
Alya immediately contacted Reno because he knew, their employees had always called Reno as mas pol. Calling Rendra bang pol, they followed Alya's call to the two men.
It turned out that Reno had not yet left for the Adi Nugraha residence. The widower of one child will go to the funeral home with friends in the unity, as a form of their corsa soul. He also offers Alya to participate, but is rejected by the girl.
"Tell me my regards, sorry I couldn't come to the service. I made an appointment with my clients. I can not postpone the meeting again this time because this is the second time I missed the meeting schedule," explained Alya honest as it is.
Later that night he'll have to go back to see his client. The client does not want the problem too long without certainty. It has been three months, his client must again swallow disappointment if he resigned again the time of the meeting.
Alya rushed to her room to take a shower because she felt sultry. The girl got into the bathtub and soaked for thirty minutes to neutralize her heartbeat.
"I'm sorry Alya, aunt. There is no intention of Alya to separate aunty with aunty's favorite child. Could my life's path be like this?" muttered Alya lirih.
