ATIQA
Chapter 9: Misconception

"Hospital? who's sick mom?" Atiqah was curious and during the journey he was preoccupied with many conjectures. Allegedly that he believed, regarding his fight with Echa et al yesterday.

"Later you know. Let's go to the ICU first, shall we?!" bu Indri holding the hand of Atiqah. The driver is waiting outside.

The two entered slowly into the ICU room, Atiqah's steps stopped when he saw Ardi who was sitting in a long chair next to his mother, Asri. Not far from there was a man of the same age as his father, kept his head down.

"Mom.." said Atiqah to Ms. Indri. The BKnya teacher turned his head and nodded, bringing Atiqah back to Asri and Ardi.

"Atiqah" said Ardi when he saw Atiqah who was walking towards him. Ms. Asri turned her head then got up and ran, directly hugging her eldest daughter. The cry broke out, Atiqah who still did not know what was going on, just remained stunned.

"Mom...what's up? who's sick?" atiqah's voice rang out, his heart pounding faster.

"Your father.your father mba accident. Still unconscious, critical" Ms. Asri limped and fell. Atiqah and Indri ma'am also caught the body of Asri bu who turned out to be unconscious. Ardi ran trying to help but Atiqah pushed him.

"Don't come here!!" atiqah snapped, his eyes staring intently at Ardi. He thought it was Ardilah who caused his father to be as he is now. Atiqah saw from the bloodstains on Ardi's gray white shirt and trousers.

"I want to help your mother Atiqah" Ardi approached Atiqah again just a moment ago he fell because of the impulse.

"Suster. Please" Atiqah's screaming voice echoed in the hallway in front of the ICU room.

"Sabar Atiqah" mother Indri rubbed the trembling back of Atiqah, shouting like that while crying. He remembered the incident this morning, the frame where the photo of his father and mother were in it was nudged and fell.

Ardi was still there, staring pity at Atiqah. Ms. Asri was put down in an empty gurney, in the corner of the IGD room.

"Mom, can I ask you a favor? just accompany my mom for a moment. There's something I have to finish for a while" Atiqah held the hand of Indri's mother who was standing next to the bed.

"Well, I'll take care of your mother. But.don't get me wrong with Ardi. Talk carefully" Ms. Indri knows what Atiqah will do. Recite Atiqah do as an answer to the words of Ms. Indri.

Advice from Indri bu as if yawning lost somewhere. His emotions are already in the crown. His footsteps were so fast and immediately pulled Ardi's arm to stand up. A hard slap landed on Ardi's left cheek.

Plaque...

Ardi and also the man who had lowered his head earlier, were surprised by the actions of Atiqah.

"The son of a rich man is arrogant, belagu!! because of you, my father is like that! you are evil Ardi..you are evil!!" beating Ardi's chest hard. Ardi shook his head, letting Atiqah beat him to satisfaction.

"Son.sorry" the man finally made a sound, interrupting Atiqah's actions. Atiqah was crying, roaring in front of the ICU room. "Son Ardi was not wrong, I was wrong. I accidentally hit Mr. Bondan. I'm sorry, I rushed the kids to school. Sorry.." the father cupped his hands together, begging forgiveness to Atiqah.

Atiqah stopped her crying, her hands held by Ardi. His eyes were filled with tears. Ardi nodded as his two eyes met with Atiqah. "Quiet, patient" said Ardi lirih. Atiqah turned to the father who claimed to have hit his father.

"I'm really inadvertent" Atiqah circulated her gaze at the father from top to bottom. One black personal driver uniform stel with Hartono nametag.

"What is the father of driver Ardi?" ask Atiqah. Mr. Hartono shook his head.

"No, son Ardi who helped me bring Mr. Bondan to this hospital" he replied occasionally staring at Ardi. Atiqah closed her eyes for a while, she had mistakenly guessed. Ardi had helped his father.

"Sit down first" Ardi grabbed Atiqah's shoulder, pressing her slowly for her underclassman to sit down.

"I beg you not to put me in jail. I was right not intentionally. My son is still in school and my wife is sick. I beg for mercy" rested in front of Atiqah.

"I'm sorry dad. I know this was all unintentional and it was also my father's destiny to experience this disaster" although his words sounded strong but Atiqah again shed tears.

ICU room door opens, doctor exits call family representative Mr Bondan. Atiqah stood up and approached. Ardi and Mr. Hartono followed.

"I'm doc's son. How's my dad?" his heart was pounding waiting for the reply of the glasses male doctor in front of him.

"Sir Bondan is past his critical period. It is not yet conscious. We wait until he realizes, then we move to the inpatient room" said the doctor to relieve Atiqah's heart.

"Thank you very much doc, thank you" Atiqah held both hands of the doctor. His smile was accompanied by a happy cry for the safety of his father.

Ardi received a sudden embrace of Atiqah. Atiqah was too happy and forgot what she was currently doing, hugging Ardi. Ardi rubbed Atiqah's back while smiling.

Mr. Hartono sat back down and also felt relieved. The person he hit earlier had gone through a critical period. The burden on his heart was reduced.

"sorry. I accidentally" Atiqah took off her hug on Ardi. He was conscious and now he is ashamed.

"No papa. I am also happy that your father is better now. Don't cry anymore. Praying continues to let the father mengepet siuman" Atiqah nodded.

"Sorry about that. Mmm..also thank you so much for helping you here" they both smiled.

"Bad is home. Let all my business" said Ardi down to Mr. Hartono, so that Atiqah did not hear it.

"But son Ardi..."

"Udah sir, no papa. I sincerely help you" pat Mr. Hartono on the shoulder.

"Thank you, son Ardi" holds Ardi's hands. Gratitude because the burden was reduced again. How can he pay for the hospital costs of Mr. Bondan, the money is mediocre to eat his family and also the school fees of his two children.

"Together sir"

Ardi was approaching Atiqah. "We're going to the IGD, meet your mom. Maybe it's rumination"

"Yes, I should know this happy news" the two walked together to the IGD room where Asri's mother was.

Mr. Hartono left the hospital because he had to return to work. I don't know what he'll receive when he comes to his boss' house, he's already too late.

"They're one school with my daughter?" muttered Mr. Hartono when he went out to the car parked in front of the lobby. Bet the school name on the right arm of the Ardi uniform is also Atiqah.

Seriate...
