Call Me a Rose
Chapter 61

The heart of Diara who had enjoyed the tranquility now rumbled again. His premonition said there was bad news waiting for him. His heart felt cloudy, as thick as this afternoon who was shedding tears. Yes, outside the rain is still falling even more rapidly. The usually bright afternoon sky is now shrouded in dense cloudiness in the interspersed with occasional flashes of lightning.

On the way, Diara's mind drifted back to Mrs Rusmini. The old lady he had not known for long, but somehow felt very familiar to Diara. Women who are in helpless condition, able to give him a very valuable lesson, even slapping him for the stupidity he had done. The old woman who somehow barely considered Diara as a substitute for Mama. Maybe because of a little equality of fate and equality of disease suffered by Mama and Miss Rusmini. Sincerely Diara prayed that Miss Rusmini be given strength and happiness until the end of her life.

Without realizing the online taxi he was riding had arrived at the hospital lobby. Diara hurriedly wiped away her tears that involuntarily drenched her face. Diara paid the taxi fare online, then immediately got off.

With a hunting move Diara rushed up to the treatment room of Ms. Rusmini. When she got there, Diara saw that Ms. Rusmini was lying around with a group of nurses. It seemed that they felt sorry for Ms. Rusmini who was a kara, so paid more attention to the old woman.

For a moment Diara just stood in front of the door while observing the scenery inside. Until then a nurse noticed his presence and approached Diara.

"Please enter Miss, are you a relative of Miss Rusmini?".

"Yes..."

"Alright, Mother had decreased her condition, but thank God now it is back stable.please if you want to be visited..."

"Good mom, thank you so much..."

The nurse signaled to her colleagues to get out. Then Diara came closer to Miss Rusmini.

"You're coming again Diara?"

"Yes, Mom, how's Mom doing? What is it feeling?"

"Mom's fine, sorry to bother you..."

"No ma'am, I don't bother at all..."

"Thank you for visiting Arya and taking the initiative to call Mom while in jail..."

"Yes, I already know everything, how could you not hear the news? You take it easy, I'm fine. Arya deserves to be accountable for her actions. Hopefully later after he comes out, he can be a better and wiser human being..."

"Of course Mom, Arya definitely won't let Mom down. You need to get well in order to see her again until Arya comes out later..."

"Mother is old Diara, it feels like Mother is tired.you are young, beautiful, and kind...I pray that you will be successful and live happily.Thank you so much you have been very good to Mom and Arya.If you could be together later, I would be very happy..."

Hearing that Diara became ashamed of herself.

"Sorry Mom, we don't really know each other, it's all just a coincidence..."

"Yes, it's okay Mom is really grateful because you've been so kind to us. I won't be able to repay your kindness, son..."

After saying that somehow the breath of Ms. Rusmini began to sting.

"What's wrong, ma'am?"

Ms. Rusmini was helpless and unable to answer.

Diara wanted out to call the nurse, but Ms. Rusmini held her hand. Finally Diara pressed the bell to call the nurse.

Parawat came, then approached to Ms. Rusmini.

"It seems like it's near the time for you..."

She then helped Ms. Rusmini pronounce the two shahadah words in an open manner, before then Ms. Rusmini actually breathed her last.

Innalillahi wa inna illaihi.
