Section 37: Lent

"Sir, haven't come yet?"

"Not yet" replied Lutfan by looking at Mardiyah who was busy in order to order the bags she brought home later. "Mar, sit. Don't be busy anymore. Ask Cak Sur to bring it all."

"Yes. It's over, okay." Mardiyah had already put down the last bag. He walked closer to Lutfan. "I'll pay for the admistration first, okay? At the front cashier."

Lutfan pulled out a swipe card from the bag. "It."

"No need to."

"Keep paying for what?"

Mardiyah showed a swipe cartoon that was in her purse. "I exist. Wear this one."

"Gue-"

"In exchange, you buy me a lot of cat food. You promised we'd stop by the pet food store, right?"

Lutfan sighed softly, and smiled faintly. "Yes. We'll stop by there."

"Yes already. I'm out fucking. If there's anything you call me, huh?" Mardiyah came out to the hospital cashier who was on this floor. The hour hand indicates twelve o'clock over thirty minutes. Lutfan has also done the prayer of Zuhr, while he certainly rests in moderation.

Brak!

Every time he turns, he is very careful. Why hit someone? When Mardiyah looked up, she realized that she did not fall to the floor, but someone was holding her hand and waist.

"Noritas ..."

Netra Mardiyah widened when she realized that it was Mr. Gautama. Then slowly Mardiyah confirmed her position. "Astaghfirullah, ma-af, sir. I'm sorry, Sir. I'm really sorry."

"Ah, yes. I also apologize. You all right?"

Mardiyah nodded without daring to stare. "I'm fine."

When Mardiyah was leaving. Mr. Gautama said. "Mardiyah .. Is that your name, son?"

"Yes, sir."

"Hm." A thin smile, and a sad look can be seen Mardiyah when looking up to Mr. Gautama. "Son Mardiyah, I heard from my sister you live in an orphanage. Is that true?"

"Yes, sir."

"Oohs. If me and Gumira want to visit. Is that allowed?"

Mardiyah smiled faintly. "Can, Sir. Go ahead. Doctor Gumira also spoke, that he wanted to visit the orphanage. And it just so happened that the orphanage I was living in was a foundation with pesantren, which was run by Kiai Bashir."

The gaze of Mr. Gautama did not escape him. "You ... the orphan, son?"

Mardiyah hush.

"A-ah, I'm sorry. Thank you for the welcome. As soon as possible if I am not busy, I will soon visit with Gumira," added Mr. Gautama and passed away.

Staring at the back of Mr. Gautama who began to disappear set the door. Mardiyah really still did not understand the gaze, she saw herself like no one else. Even earlier, it seemed like Mr. Gautama was muttering. But he could not hear clearly at all, and also, from where did he know his name? While on Doctor Gumira though he did not mention the name.

"On behalf of Lutfan Abbiyya and Lunara Mardiyah a total of two million five hundred and twenty-five thousand, Ma'am."

After waiting. Finally the cashier returned his swipe card, Mardiyah as quickly as possible returned to Lutfan's inpatient room.

"Mbak Mar," said Cak Sur.

Mardiyah smiled faintly. "The random just came?"

"Supervise, Ma'am." Cak Sur began to compile a bag that was on the sofa to take two at once and take it out of the parking lot. "I'll be back later, ma'am. Dekett parking from here. Ndak pa-pa samean sat down to Mas Lutfan."

"No pa-pa, sir. Precisely because near me help," said Mardiyah want to take a bag.

Lutfan suddenly shouted, "Mardiyah!"

Cak Sur has come out. Mardiyah fell silent, spontaneously putting back the bag. "Yes, Lutfan. Don't scream. I will not help Sur. I want to sit."

Wait at least fifteen minutes until Cak Sur has completely finished packing the goods and helped Lutfan to get into the car in the back seat with Mardiyah. A second later, a white Toyota left Adiwangsa hospital.

"Aren't you thirsty?" Mardiyah gave me a bottle of moderate drink. "Drink first try. You haven't drank from before."

Lutfan received and gulped down the water little by little. "Thank you."

"Oh yes, Brother. Stop by the pet food store, okay?" lutfan.

"Express, Mas."

Netra Mardiyah was sparkling, she almost forgot about the cat food. After closing the bottle and putting it back in the bag Mardiyah looked at Lutfan. "How much will the cat food buy?"

"How much do you want?"

"Ten of them are not pa-pa."

Netra Mardiyah widened. "Really?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Not long to get to the pet food. As requested by Lutfan, Mardiyah took ten at a time, then paid him at the cashier using Lutfan's swipe card. After finishing Mardiyah re-entered the car, while Cak Sur permission to go to the bathroom for a moment.

"Thank you, Lutfan." Mardiyah handed the swipe card to Lutfan. "This is the card."

"Make it lo."

"Hm? Ms. .. at me?"

Lutfan nodded with a gaze out the window, without any intention of turning his head in the slightest.

"I'm already---"

"Gue knows you have it. I know maybe the contents of the card is not how much, but God willing is enough for your needs," explained Lutfan.

Mardiyah sighed. "Keep you?"

"There was. I still have another card."

Mardiyah nodded. "How many cards is this?"

"Little."

"I asked how much?"

"Four million maybe."

Mardiyah touched Lutfan's arm so the husband would look at her. "Lutfan, four million is a lot. I don't want to."

"Little, Mar. I know your salary at the Flower Shop is three million and the allowance is almost two million. How can you say four million is a lot?"

Mardiyah.

"Or is it less? If less I'm tra---"

"No. Thanks." Thanks." Mardiyah put the swipe card in her wallet. "If you intend to give me a living, tomorrow's month is a million. If you send four million, I transfer back to you."

Lutfan showed his upset face. "Mar .. are you sure a million is enough?"

"Enough, Luftan. You said make me need, right? I think enough, I do not need something that in one month can spend millions of money" explained Mardiyah.

Lutfan was silent for a moment. "OKAY. I'm transferring three million."

"No."

"okay-okay. Two million. Point. You can't refuse! Maybe you have something or what you want to buy, you are a girl. You need it a lot," said Lutfan has made a decision.

Mardiyah nodded. "Yes. Up yours. If I get to the top three million I transfer back."

"No way."

The car door opened, Cak Sur entered with a little hesitation. "I'm sorry about the old Ma'am."

"No pa-pa, sir."

Cak Sur start the engine. "This .... go straight home anyway, Mas? Not stopping by anywhere else?"

"Yes, Brother. Go straight home."
