The White Heart Jasmine

Chapter 30 - Elvan's Decree

Half an hour later Azka came with Erika. They both seem to panic.

"How, El?" erika asked Elvan who was still sitting in the same place.

"Ma, Brother Azka." Elvan wakes up to Erika and Azka. "Still being treated by a doctor. So it can only wait." Elvan explained.

"Auntie... Sis..." Melati stood up, greeting Erika and Azka.

"Yes, Mel..." Erika replied to Melati. Azka nodded towards Melati.

"Papa's too tired. Almost two weeks of overtime continued because there was little problem in the office. Must have been physically and emotionally drained." Erika spoke while rubbing the edge of her eyes.

"Let me help you in Papa's office, Ma. My job is not as heavy as Papa's. So my business can be put off" Azka said.

"Your father is a strong man. Believe me, he'll get through this." said Erika. He strengthened his children and his own heart. He was not ready to lose Tirta. The great man who changed him saw life differently.

IGD doors opened. "Family Mr Edgar?" ask the doctor who came out of the room.

"I'm his wife, Doc." Erika immediately approached the doctor.

"I'm dr. Primed. Mr. Edgar we've handled it. The condition is stable. But it will take a few days to be sure the condition will continue to improve" the doctor said.

"Praise God..." Erika was relieved to hear it.

"Please if you want to look inside. We'll move it to the treatment room in the next two hours." continued dr. Prima explained.

"Once again, thank you." Erika shines a dr. Primed. As soon as the doctor left, Erika went into the room with Azka. You can only go both way inside.

Elvan and Melati were relieved by what the doctor said. God is so good to papa. He was still given strength through this.

Before long Erika and Azka went outside.

"You come in, El. Mama wants to buy something for papa. After that, you can go home to rest. Mama's gonna take care of you here, " said Erika.

Elvan invited Melati inside. Tirta lay weak. There was still a tool installed on his chest. His face still looks pale. But he smiled seeing Elvan and Melati come in.

"Hey... Melati is here too?" tirta.

"Yes, Om." Melati.

"What's it like?" ask Elvan.

"Ga good la, El. His name is also sick." I can still joke about Tirta.

Elvan smiled wryly. "Pa, get healthy fast, yeah... Papa Uda promised to take me up the mountain if I graduated high school." Elvan said while watching his papa. From head to toe.

"Just calm down, Bro. It must be, " said Tirta. "Mel, Elvan is easily upset. Help him be a tough guy, yeah..." Tirta looked at Melati.

Melati smile. "Yes, Om." While looking at Elvan.

"Ah, this Papa. A real man, must be strong, laa.." - Elvan.

Tirta smiled widely. Then he closed his eyes.

"Papa sleepy?" ask Elvan.

"It must be because of the medicine" answered Tirta.

"If so Papa sleeps first" said Elvan. He took Melati out of the room.

"Papa sleeps, Brother." Elvan approached her brother. There's Adista there.

"Hi, El," said Adista. He looks more mature in his office clothes. "It's..." Adista pointed at Melati.

"It's Jasmine." Elvan introduces Melati to Adista.

"Madista." Adista shook Melati's hand.

"Prospective sister-in-law," said Elvan. Whispering to Melati.

"Hello, Sis..." Melati smile.

"You can also joke, yes, this situation" said Adista. Melati and Elvan widened her lips.

Azka had indeed shot Adista who immediately received it. Adista has loved and admired Azka for a long time. Like a dream come true.

"It's complete, Dis. We're leaving now?" ask Azka.

"Papa's asleep. Let's just take a break." Azka takes Adista away. Azka does have an appointment with the client. Because he had to go to the hospital, he asked Adista to bring a file and go directly to his meeting place.

Erika is back soon. "Have you seen Papa?" erika asked Elvan and Melati.

"Already, Ma. Papa's sleeping now" replied Elvan.

"Have you eaten?" ask Erika again.

"Ga thought, Ma. Just panicked right here from school." Elvan explained.

"Go home, eat and rest." Erika stroked Elvan's shoulder.

"Good.. Is mom alone?" elvan.

"Ga what. Go," said Erika.

Elvan and Melati leave the hospital. Elvan to school always on a motorcycle. And definitely bring a helmet two, because there are often friends who are nebeng. Elvan brought Melati to eat at her favorite place. He likes grilled fish. Jasmine was not so hungry yet so she simply ordered a fruit salad and drank lemon tea ice.

Once you finish eating, while leaving the resto, it rains heavily. Both sit back. It is rainy season, although it does not rain every day. Forced to wait for the rain to subside, Elvan forgot to bring a raincoat.

"How long will Om Tirta be treated?" ask Melati. He saw Elvan watching the streets still raining.

"If it's fast maybe three days can go home" replied Elvan, he turned to look at Melati.

"Hopefully recover soon, yes..." Melati smile.

"There's something I'm thinking about Papa's condition. It was related to the college plan later," said Elvan.

Jasmine listening. He waited for Elvan to explain the meaning of the conversation.

"I originally wanted to do music. You know, I like to play music, even though so far it's just for hobbies. But I want to explore it in college and make it the profession of the future." Elvan began to explain his plan.

"Looking at Papa in the room, I suddenly realized, Papa's age might not be long. Not that I want papa to die soon. I know a God who has an age limit for everyone. But with this pain, Papa should rest more, should not be too tired. While the company is demanded to continue to grow." Elvan took a deep breath.

"I'm going to go to business school, I have to help Papa. Azka already has her own business. He won't be fully involved in Papa's office. I don't want to have to help."

"You sure?" ask Melati.

"Yes, Mel..." Elvan looked at Melati. "Papa struggled from the minimal conditions, we lived in a small house, Mama had to sell cakes to meet the needs. And now it's all grown so big. There are a lot of people who depend on jobs in papa companies. I can't be selfish. They should still be able to live decent lives."

Melati did not expect Elvan to have such distant thoughts. He was amazed by this lover.

"Music is my hobby. All this time I enjoyed it. I think I can still make music on the job later," continued Elvan.

"Whatever your decision you have chosen. You must have considered this and that. I can only pray for the best" said Melati.

"My girlfriend is so sweet, huh..." Elvan smiled broadly. He raised his eyebrows a few times. Jasmine blushed.

"Mails..." Call Elvan.

"Hmmm..." Replace Melati is staring at the streets. The rain started to fall a little.

"You like me, don't you?" ask Elvan.

Uuppss!!! Hearing that Melati's face flushed red. He wasn't ready for that question. Why, the hell, does Elvan always surprise Melati???

"Ehh..." Melati confused to answer. Honestly, his heart was screaming, yaa.... But he's so embarrassed.

"You need to answer me if you don't want to." Elvan smiled faintly.

"I. yeah.. uhhh..." Melati feels so stupid. Why is it so hard to say you like it. Uh-h...

Elvan smiled wider. "It's been tempted by me, yeah..."

"What, the hell..." Melati pinched Elvan's arm.

"Oiihh.." said Elvan half-cried. Shocked too Melati pinched suddenly.

Jasmine laughed a little.

"Thank you. uda wants to be my girlfriend" whispered Elvan.

"Udah, ah. We go home," said Melati. He feels awward. The rain has also stopped. Mending just go home faster than the day getting worse.

They also left the restaurant.
