Trapped by the Wrong Raga

Chapter 33: Strong To Strengthen

Vajria finally came to a realization as I dressed her. His memory was instantly fixed on his Papa and his eyes were instantly wet. "Nayl's... Papa.." he said grubbyly.

"Yes, Ra. You are patient. Hope your Papa is okay. We go to Jakarta now? Brother Arga has shared the location" I said.

"We borrowed Lily's car? You're the one driving"

"Yes ayang"

"Nayl's... I'm scared"

I clenched Vajria's body tightly and whispered words to strengthen him. "You calm down, Ra! Papa insya Allah is okay. We're going there now"

"I've not been close to Papa. I just felt the affection of a Papa when we had dinner that time... I don't want to lose Papa"

I went with Vajria to Jakarta by borrowing Lily's car. Along the way Vajria looked moody and shed tears several times.

As soon as he arrived at the hospital where his Papa was treated, it turned out that Kak Arga and Kak Fathya were already in front of the ICU room. Brother Fathya immediately hugged Vajria tightly and they again cried. Me and Brother Arga can only try to strengthen the hearts of the brothers.

Twenty minutes later a doctor came out of the ICU. His face showed a stroke of sadness and I was immediately alarmed by Papa Vajria's condition.

Brother Fathya immediately approached the doctor and asked about the state of his Papa.

"Doctor, what about my Papa?" tanyakanya.

"I'm sorry, I've tried my best to save your Papa's life. But fate says something else. Papa you can't be saved because of a severe head wound" the doctor said and immediately Fathya and Vajria screamed hysterically and then fainted again.

"Thisilahi wainalilahi roziun" I said sadly while hugging Vajria's body that was unconscious.

Brother Arga also immediately hugged the body of Fathya who collapsed unconscious. At the moment the state of Fathya and Vajria is not possible to make a decision about the departure of their Papa. So I and Kak Arga who had to take care of all the needs for the return of Papa's body to Bandung.

From the beginning of Papa's return to Bandung to the cemetery, Vajria and Kak Fathya did not stop crying and fainted many times.

I myself feel a deep sadness. But I must stay strong to strengthen my Vajria! If I'm fragile, how can I sustain Vajria? That's why I persevered not to lose consciousness even though it was sad that I felt as if I was destroying myself!

After Papa's funeral, I stayed at Vajria's house with Kak Arga for seven days and seven nights in a row to help Vajria and Kak Fathya hold a lecture for the late Papa.

Until finally finished the seven days of the death of Papa and I asked for permission to return to boarding because I had not gone to campus for too long and my work as a filler in the cafe was abandoned.

So on that morning I decided to go home to Vajria who still looked sad and grieved.

"Whoa, I'm coming home today?" I said.

"Yes can" said Vajria softly with a blank look.

"I haven't been to college for too long and I don't care either. But I promise I'll be here soon if I'm free"

"Yes. I don't want you to get a lecturer's suspension because there's nothing on campus. If I had permission because Papa died. But I'll be back on campus soon, too. Maybe this Monday I'm back in college"

I kissed her cheek left right. "Is it okay for me to stay?" my many.

"It's okay. There's Fathya too"

"If there's anything, call me right away!"

"Nayl dear Vajria!" I kissed her forehead.

"I love you too, beautiful"

Vajria also drove me to meet Kak Arga and Kak Fathya who were in the family room.

"Sir, Nayl wants to go home" said Vajria.

"I also went home first today" said Brother Arga who also looked neat that morning.

"Can you sit down for a second, Nayl?" ask Fathya to Nayl.

"Could, Brother" Nayl sat on the sofa with me next to him.

"Naell, Ra. Arga and I decided to get married next month" Fathya said.

"Alhamdulillah" I said as I rubbed my face.

"I feel like I can't live my days without Arga by my side. I'm down heavy! I feel like there is no more footing." said Brother Fathya again.

"Yes Nayl, so I'll propose to Fathya as soon as possible. Maybe this weekend. I can't bear to let him alone here but I also can't possibly continue to stay here if there's no official bond between the two of us" Arga said.

"Alhamdulillah then, you two will soon get married and become a happy family" said Vajria.

I'm a instant baper... Want to get married too...

"Papa also told us to take care of Fathya and Vajria on the night we ate together at that time" Arga said.

"Yes, I also remember Papa's message. Too bad I can't see Papa anymore when we just met" I said.

"But Papa can still see us from up there to run his last message, Nayl" Arga said.

"Yes Brother. I'll take care of Vajria like Papa's message"

"You can hold onto those words of yours, Nayl?! You will take care of my sister forever until you get married?!" sak Fathya asked seriously and looked me deeply into my eyes.

I nodded for sure! "I promise Brother Fathya and Brother Arga to always take care of Vajria forever according to Papa's message"

"Then I'll take Vajria with you? Now he belongs to you. If you can get engaged soon after you graduate later"

I'm flabbergasted. "Sister Fathya allowed me to have Vajria?"

Brother Fathya nodded. "Yes, Nayl. Looks like Vajria can only be happy with you. After all, Papa has also entrusted Vajria with you. I've never even seen Papa as happy as when he saw you singing a song for him"

"Favor, Brother! Thank goodness...!" I felt very happy and immediately hugged Vajria tightly. "Well, we've got the blessing now!" whispered in his ear.

"Yes Nayl..." Vajria could only answer slowly and his eyes were still blank as if he was no longer soulless. So deep was Vajria drowned in the endless wounds of his heart.

"You have to believe that I can definitely make your smile come back, Ra! I'll be a backrest and a mooring for you! Because I will be strong to strengthen you!" I said and then kissed her forehead.

Vajria now looked at my face and smiled faintly. "I believe you, Nayl." he said.
