Call Me Rain
Surprising News

The air in the morning feels so fresh, the distinctive aroma of the tea garden is inhaled in the sense of smell. The sound of birds chirping sounded so melodious in his ears.

Mirza woke up as she felt the sunlight so warm it touched her skin. His eyes narrowed when he saw the light reflecting off the window glass. He reflexively closed his eyes again. Slowly, he felt the side of his bed, hoping someone would still be there.

Mirza hurriedly got up from her sleep, as she did not find Alula beside her. Where was she ? wasn't he with Alula last night ? is it all just his dreams.

No, it's all real. He felt his head still dizzy from last night's impact. His face also looks smashed. And the one that made him most sure that last night was not his delusion was a red spot on the bed. He was very sure, if last night was not a dream.

Mirza just didn't want to lose Alula back, so as she squeezed Alula away, she immediately pulled and held her in an embrace. There is no intention to make that big mistake.

However, the image of the beautiful face of Alula, wrapped in a dress with a pink flower motif, who was smiling at another man when he was being cafe made her chest suddenly feel hot.

Jealousy overcomes his common sense. He is disappointed in Alula who prefers to go with Yanuar rather than meet him. He was angry, why did Alula have to avoid while he was almost crazy for thinking about it. He just wants to prove that Alula is his only, no one will be able to have Alula besides him.

Although he had rebelled, but the tears that fell down Alula's cheeks made him sure that Alula also had the same feeling. And that was proven when Alula began to resign, even her movements began to weaken.

Mirza got up from her bed, grabbed a neatly folded towel on the table, then walked to the bathroom to clean herself up.

After cleaning up, Mirza came out of the room and searched Alula to every corner of the villa. He was almost desperate, when he did not find Alula anywhere.

"Kang, see Alula isn't it ?" mirza asked Kang Agus who had just entered from the back door.

"Loh neng Alula is here?" Kang Agus asked back. "Oh, that's his face why?" Kang Agus looked worried, looking at Mirza's slightly bruised face.

"Nothing kang. But I really don't see Alula here?"

"No, I just got here. Last night the kid got sick, waited for Aden but didn't come home. So I had to leave the villa." said Kang Agus with a sorry face.

Mirza let out a long sigh, not the reason Kang Agus was thinking about. But, where should he look for Alula while he does not know where the woman lives? Why did the woman have to leave ? Mirza kept wondering.

Mirza went back to the cafe last night, to get her car. He wanted to ask Alula whereabouts to the cafe owner. But unfortunately, Mirza came too early, because the cafe was still not opened.

Ringing the phone disperse the daydream, Mirza menai mobile phone stored on the dashboard of the car. He immediately picked up his phone when he saw the name Mama Indri appear on the mobile phone screen.

"Hallo Ma ?" hello Mirza to Mama Indri.

"Where are you Mir" said Mama Indri, because since last night Mirza did not pick up her phone.

"Sorry Ma, Emir's cell phone left in the car." last night, when he went into the cafe to attend a meeting with his co-workers, he forgot to bring a cell phone and was left in the car.

"Hurry home," Mama Indri's voice now sounded trembling.

"Hurry home Mir, Gweny needs you" he continued in an almost inaudible voice.

"What the hell is Ma," asked Mirza with a shrunken forehead.

And a shocking news from Mama Indri made Mirza pecking at her place.

"OK, Emir's coming home now."

Mirza rubbed rough her face, then let out a long sigh. His intention of finding Alula's trail had to be delayed just like that. Mirza returned to Jakarta.

...****************...

The sound of the knocking of pantofel shoes with the marble terrace of the hospital sounded so echoed in the hospital lobby. Mirza had just arrived, and went straight to the ICU room where Om Handoko was being treated.

Two women were sitting in the waiting room, with grim faces.

"Ma," called Mirza, making Mama Indri and Gweny turn their heads.

"Mir, is it coming?" Mirza nodded and sat herself down next to Mama Indri.

"Why is your face ?" Mama Indri scooped up Mirza's face, examining the bruises on her face.

"How is Om Handoko now Ma?" it distracts.

"It's still not conscious, but the doctor said Om Handoko had a pretty hard impact on her head" explained Mama Indri, then grabbed Gweny's hand to hold it.

Mirza now turned to sit next to Gweny, confused what to do to give strength so that Gweny can toughen up. Until finally he stroked the shoulder of Gweny who was daydreaming with a blank look. Her eyes looked puffy, maybe crying too long.

Gweny turned his head, without warning directly hugging Mirza's body tightly. Spilling all his sadness and fear. He cried again, afraid that the Papa could not be saved.

"My father Mir." wirih Gweny interrupted his cry.

"All will be well." Mirza tried to give her spirit.

But instead of being calm, Gweny actually hid his face in Mirza's arms. If only Gweny knew, what Mirza had done last night, could Gweny still hold her like that.

"I'm afraid Papa's gone Mir, I don't want to." Gweny's getting sobbing.

"Sst, everything is fate. A lot of prayers let Om Handoko be okay." Mirza rubbed Gweny's back to calm down. Although he often felt annoyed with Gweny, but could not bear to see Gweny crying like that.

Gweny re-enforced her body, after her crying subsided. He felt lucky, because there was still Mirza and her family who accompanied him at a time like this. He never thought it would be like this.

The Papa always questioned his relationship with Mirza, Gweny did not dare to answer because he was actually confused by his relationship and Mirza who until now did not show progress.

Whenever Pa Handoko urges Gweny to get married soon, the answer remains the same,

"Emir is still busy with Pa's career" when she finds out that Mirza is just making excuses to buy time.

Until finally one night, the Papa met him in the room.

"Gwen," called Handoko as the door opened.

Gweny who was reading a book then turned to "Yes Pa." he replied, the woman smiled sweetly to the Papa.

Pa Handoko asked Gweny to sit on the sofa, then suddenly he said.

"Papa wants to see Gweny get married." a deep sigh is heard in Gweny's ear.

"Why did Papa suddenly say that?" asked Gweny with a frowning forehead.surprised, hearing the words of the Papa.

"It's okay, though," Handoko chuckled softly.

"Papa just wants to see you happy, someone takes care of you too."

"Pa, Gweny is happy with Papa. Gweny can take care of Gweny himself."

"Different dong Gwen.you're Papa's only daughter. If you have a guard, Papa can calm down if Papa comes home first."

"Why do you talk about it anyway." Pa Handoko just kept quiet, then smiled saying nothing more.

That made Gweny feel afraid of losing Papa. Because the last time they spoke, Pa Handoko looked so worried about the future of Gweny, her only daughter. He was also afraid, could not realize the last desire of the Papa to get married. Because until now, Mirza has never discussed anything about it.
