2 A WOUNDED HEART
Young Widow (Radi-Rina)

...🌷Happy Reading🌷...

It's been two hours Radi's drive to Rina's hometown. Said the girl beside him, they will be there soon.

Radi glanced at Rina who was sitting beside him. From then on the woman did not stop crying while continuing to stare at the screen of her old phone. Not sure what had happened in the girl's village, Radi was curious while Rina did not tell him the matter.

Radi's car jumped as they began to enter the unpaved village road, and full of rocks.

"I'm sorry, sir." Rina sobbing. He felt that he had greatly troubled his master.

"Oh, stop crying! You're making me unable to concentrate!" hardik Radi's. This bad street pissed him off plus having to hear Rina's cry.

Rina was silent, she closed her mouth so that her crying voice would no longer be heard and annoyed the master.

"Here you go, sir."

Radi's head looked out the window, but there was no way for his car. In front of him now there was only a small road flanked by rice fields on his right and left.

"My house is at the end there, sir. Must cross the rice fields first," said Rina.

Radi's eyes sharpened in the direction that Rina pointed to, at the end there was indeed a dim lighting, maybe that's where the house assistant lived.

"Thank you for waiting for me, sir. Then excuse me." Lina tore her bag and prepared to come out.

"Wait!" The sound of Radi instantly stopped his movement.

"Yes, Sir?"

"Do you know what time it is?" asked Radi with his cold face.

Rina immediately glanced at the digital clock that was on top of the car dashbord. "Four is 12, less five, sir." answered plainly.

Radi clucking. "And you're gonna let this master of yours go back to town in the middle of the night? You think I'm not tired after driving for more than two hours?"

Deg

Rina flinched, panic made her forget the kindly employer who had delivered her so far.

"W-would you like to rest at my house last night?" tawar Rina's.

"Then do you think I should sleep in this cramped car?" ketus Radi's.

"I'm sorry, sir."

"That's it, now let's go!" Radi got out of his car.

The two of them walked down the path in the rice fields where the atmosphere was pitch dark. Fortunately there is a flashlight on the Radi phone so it can be a light for them to walk. Along the way, the sound of rice frogs was mutually disdainful, and only this time did Radi hear it. The problem is, the city people first enter the village.

"This is my home, sir."

Now they were standing in a small wooden building. Although the building does not look worthy to be called a house in the eyes of Radi, but at least the environment around the house is not dirty.

"Come, Master!" bring Rina.

Radi tailed behind Rina. The atmosphere in that place was quite scary. There are only three houses that are not far apart, besides the lights that illuminate the three houses are only yellow colored led lights that begin to dim.

Tok...

Not long after, an old man appeared from behind the open door.

"Mr!" Rina immediately rushed to hug the man she called the father.

"Rina, you're home, son..."

Radi saw the man stroking the darling of Rina's mane, so far he suspected that he was Rina's father.

"Sir, how is Reyhan? Is the heat down?" asked Rina with concern.

The old man shook his head weakly, his face looked desperate. "The heat is still high, son."

"Rayyhan!" Lina immediately ran into the house.

Radi was silent, he felt awkward as father Rina looked at him full of telisik.

"Sorry, Master who, huh?" ask Mr. Rina politely. He deliberately called Radi as the master because he saw the appearance of the man who was handsome like a rich man in the city.

"Ah, sorry for not my courtesy. Introduce me Radi, Rina's employer in town." Radi reached out.

The tired old face smiled. "Ah, forgive us, sir. Rina must have been a bother to you, until you had to wait here at night like this," he said unpleasantly. "And let me introduce you, I'm Dadang, Rina's father." He greeted Radi's hand awkwardly.

"Ah, yes." Radi can feel if the hand of Mr. Dadang who shakes hands with him feels rough and hard. It seemed like what kind of life the old man had gone through. Radi felt sorry.

"Please come in, sir. Sorry our house is small and narrow," said Mr. Dadang reluctantly.

"I-yes, Sir. No problem." Radi noticed the inside of the house. If I may say, this house is only as big as his bedroom at home, or maybe smaller.

"Please sit down, sir! I'll be back for a minute."

Radi tapped his body onto the rattan chair in the room, feeling hard and uncomfortable.

Faintly, Radi heard the sound of crying from the next room. It was like the voice of Rina. Intrigued, he got up about to go to the origin of the sound, but Mr. Dadang appeared and stopped him.

"Where are you going, sir?" ask Mr. Dadang. He brought a glass of water to his guests. Put the water on the table.

"Ah..no." Radi chose to sit back.

"Please drink, sir. Sorry, there's only water." The old man again grimaced with shame, because his life was so short that he could not entertain his guests properly.

Mr. Dadang was moved to witness the humility of his daughter's employer. He thought that the people of the city would be proud and look at the poor like them with one eye. However, in fact there are still those who have good minds like this gallant man who is in front of him.

"Oh yes, sir. If you may know, what really happened, why does Rina look so worried?" The thing that made Radi curious, he finally asked as well.

"That, Master... Reyhan has had a fever for two days. The heat is so high, we've taken him to the health center and given him medicine, but the heat doesn't go down as well."

"Reyhan's? Is he Rina's sister?" ask Radi.

Mr. Dadang shook his head. "Reyhan is Rina's son."

Deg

"Kids?" peekik Radi can't believe it. She had no idea that Rina was married and had children. Naturally, when he asked the woman to work for him, he did not see his background at all. Just saying yes, when the agent thrusts Rina at him.

"Yes, Sir. Rina's child is now two years old."

"Then her husband?" ask Radi then.

"They're separated." Mr. Dadang's head bowed when he said it.

"So Rina is a widow? I never thought, with the tiny body and the typical face of the teenager, I thought she was still a girl.." Inner Radi shock.

Finally that night, Radi slept at Lina's house with her father.

.......

"REYAN!"

The next morning Radi gasped to his feet when he heard the voice of Rina calling out her son's name. The man immediately rushed towards the room where the woman was.

"Rayhan..." Rina roared at the increasingly apprehensive condition of her son. His son's small body shivered and a red rash began to appear on his skin.

"Sir, we need to get Reyhan to the hospital." A middle-aged woman spoke to Mr. Dadang.

"How do we get him, ma'am. The hospital is far away."

Looking at everyone who was starting to panic, Radi who was originally just standing in the doorway, charged in.

"Come, Rin. We're taking your son to the hospital." Without wasting any time, Radi immediately carried Reyhan out. He will take Rina's son to the hospital using his car.

Seeing that, Lina and her two parents followed behind.

Radi ran down the small path while holding Reyhan's weak body. Some of the people around me who saw this started to wonder.

.......

Bu Tuti as her mother Rina unceasingly rubbed the back of her daughter who was incessantly crying when Reyhan was taken into the ER room of a hospital.

"Calm down, kid. Reyhan must be fine."

Not la ma later, the doctor who examined Reyhan came out.

"How's my grandson doing, Doc?" ask Mr. Dadang.

"After being examined, your granddaughter developed symptoms of dengue fever. Good thing it was taken to the hospital immediately, so we could handle it quickly before it got worse."

Mr. Dadang sat down weakly. He thought he was going to lose his only grandchild.

"So, Doc?" ask Radi.

"The patient had to be hospitalized, he is currently being infused for dehydration. Did the patient vomit?" ask doctor.

"Yes, Doc. Last night he was vomiting" replied Ms. Tuti.

"Alright, it looks like the patient should be treated two to three days ahead. Both pray for the patient to recover quickly."

"Thank you, Doc." said Radi.

The doctor left them. Fifteen minutes later, several nurses moved Reyhan to the inpatient room.

"Suster, please give the patient a nice room!" said Radi to the nurse who brought Reyhan.

"Good, Sir. Please take care of the administration first."

"Good." Radi immediately went to the administration and completed everything related to finance.

In the afternoon, Radi came home. Rina and her family would like to thank them for their help.

"Rin, keep this just in case." Radi slipped a few strands of red money into Rina's hand.

"But, Mister..."

"Take it or I'll be mad!"

"Thank you very much, sir."
