When You're Gone

It's all the same

After breakfast Farhan invites Khairani to sit on the bench of the hospital garden. Farhan recounts all the chronology of the accident incident he knew. Starting from phone calls from Bakri when in the cypress forest to the presence of Khairani and this morning.

But Farhan did not recount the contents of his conversation with Bakri. Farhan did not want Khairani to misunderstand him.

Khairani listened to all the stories carefully, occasionally wiping the tears in the corner of her eyes. No words were spoken from his lips. Only his sobbing was heard accompanying every utterance of Farhan.

Until the end of the chronology of the accident, Khairani remained silent, so Farhan could only take a deep breath. At least now his heart was a little relieved that it had already released one burden that plagued his mind from last night.

There is still silence between them .Farhan and Khairani were silent in their minds. Until HP Farhan's voice broke that silence.

"Hello...

"......"

"Well I'll be there, wait a minute "

"........."

" okay...

Farhan stood up from his seat .

"Khaira.I want to take care of the return of Arya's body, her family has been waiting inside. Do you want to come ?"

"Yes, I'm coming, at least I can represent Bang Bakri to express my condolences " Khairani said as she stood up from her seat.

"Come, pity they waited too long" .Farhan and Khairani walked together towards the repatriation section.

*****

The deafening sound of Ambulance began to drift away from the hospital courtyard accompanied by several vehicles following from behind.

Khairani did not attend Arya's funeral procession, as she could not leave Bakri alone. Only Farhan and Qori came to attend.

Khairani intends to visit Luki who is now in the treatment room. But before that he stopped by Bakri's room. Just being able to stare from the outside was enough for him. Just letting go of the longing that suddenly penetrated his heart.

Staring at the pusar of a weakly rolled body helplessly in the cage. After being satisfied looking from behind the glass door, Khairani finally stepped into the room where Luki was being treated.

Khairani knocked on the wooden door in front of him. Soon a middle-aged woman appeared behind the door.

"Assalamualaikum ma'am." said Khairani.

"Waalaikumussalam..." answered the woman.

"Sorry ma'am interfered, I am Khairani, want to visit Luki, has Luki come to her senses ?" Khairani introduced himself.

"Oo my mother, please come in... Luki who has come to her senses "reply back to Luki's mother

"Thank you." said Khairani.

After entering the room saw Luki lying with her head and hands attached to a bandage .His feet were covered in blankets.

"Ki.. how are you "sapa Khairani who is concerned to see the condition of Luki .

"Bu Rani, this is how "Say Luki with a smiley smile." Ma'am introduced this is Mrs Khairani, the wife of her boss iki ." she continued to introduce Khairani to her mother.

" Oh sorry buk, I think who was the boss iki yaa" said his mother Luki while greeting Khairani. And Khairani replied with a smile while welcoming Luki's mother's hand.

"I'm sorry buk, Luki's condition is like this, maybe this is because of the carelessness of my husband. " Khairani said with a bow .

"Have Bu Rani called a disaster, there is nothing wrong with here, this is fate. Moreover, Luki has told me all the same story, " replied Luki's mother.

" I'm the one who should be thanking Ms. Rani. And may Bu Rani's husband recover quickly "reply Luki's mother.

After speaking and feeling stale, Khairani finally resigned herself, so that Luki could rest.

Khairani was again stunned in front of the ICU room, staring at the stiff body lying inside there. I don't know when those eyes will open. Khairani did not stop praying and hoped that her husband would soon open his eyes.

Khairani did not realize there was someone who was also looking in the same direction as her. Farhan was standing behind Khairani since a few minutes ago. Not wanting to disturb Khairani's daydreams, Farhan chose silence until Khairani realized his presence.

"Eh.. Bang Farhan " said Khairani in shock.

"Go home Khaira, the children need you. What else they still need ASI. Pity is too long left. " said Farhan slowly .

"I have to how, there needs me, but I want to be here." Khairani lamented.

"Go home, I'm here. Qori was waiting in the lobby, go " said Farhan a little forcefully.

"Well I go home, let me know the condition of Bang Bakri after the doctor visits later. " Khairani said and passed away without waiting for an answer from Farhan.

Farhan could only watch as the fragile back moved away from him.

*****

Three weeks have passed. Bakri's condition did not improve. Doctors say there is little hope of recovery. But this fact only Farhan knew. He deliberately did not tell Khairani not to make Khairani worry.

Within three weeks, Farhan was moving fast again. Activating Bakri's store by recruiting some new employees. And entrusted to the Shafi'i as a temporary replacement for Bakri.

For three weeks, Farhan went back and forth to hospitals and shops. After working a little hard, the store was able to go well again. Just control it once in a while.

Not without reason Farhan did all this. This store is Bakri's hope. And not a few funds that have been disbursed. As a businessman Farhan did not want the business that Bakri and himself built to be in vain.

Farhan also had to return to Singapore. His job is waiting there. The planned one-month time is now almost two months. Even though he has competent people still can not take off hands just like that.

After a long discussion with Khairani, the twins were left with Khairani. In addition to requests from Khairani himself, also because Farhan will also come to Pekanbaru once a week to visit Bakri.

Khairani is assisted by two babysitters now. He had to go back to the hospital to look after Bakri. Khairani is forced to accept Farhan's offer to add people to look after the three babies while she is in the hospital.

Irul and Nisa also helped. After Farhan left for Singapore Irul volunteered to look after him at night, because Khairani could not. And Khairani watch over the day.

Tonight, Irul is back at the hospital. He had just returned from the cafeteria to buy some coffee and some snacks to accompany his evening.

On arrival in front of the hallway he saw several medical team people running around. A feeling of wasp began to pervade his heart when he saw where the person was headed. Irul quickened his pace to confirm his uneasiness. Seeing a nurse come out Irul immediately intercepted him.

" I'm sorry Sus, what's wrong with my brother. " Task Irul.

"The condition of the patient is decreasing sir, had lost heart rate, now the Doctor is trying, sorry I rush "The nurse ran away.

Irul just glued to look at the glass door where Bakri was. His heart beat felt through his chest. I hope what he just heard isn't true. If that happens what she has to say to her brother later.

While in the room everyone was busy with their duties. There is tension there .Not long after that everything stopped with a face full of regret. Finally a doctor came out of the room.

"Sorry Sir......
