Childhood Match
The Wingless Angel

The toyota camry car stopped in front of the door IGD Rsud Tidar Magelang City. Quickly, the medical colleagues picked up with all the preparations. Car door opened. The semi-conscious old woman was taken into the IGD room using a push-back gurney.

"I'm sorry, only patients are allowed in" said one of the nurses on duty that morning.

Gala and Gendhis sat in the waiting chair.

Seeing Gendhis who was panicking, Gala did not want to disturb him. He chose to wait for the girl he had met for the first time to speak first when he felt better.

"I'm sorry..is this grandmother's family sister right?" a nurse came out of the installation room.

Gendo thought for a moment. He who brought the grandmother means he is responsible.

"Oh, yes, Sister." replied Gendhis.

"In that case, please go to the registration section of the patient, because the patient must be hospitalized to get further treatment" said the Sister.

"Yes... Sus." replied Gendhis began to be confused.

"Well. I don't know who Grandma is." said Genphis.

He then remembered, before taking him to the Hospital, The Grandmother had brought a bag, maybe in the bag was stored the identity of the Grandmother. Soon Gendhis approached Gala to ask,

"Mas..., sorry..I had to get to Mas's car to get the bag" said Gendhis.

Gala, who had been sitting on a chair with a thousand questions in her head, said what Gendhis had panicked to say.

"Okeyy.." replied Gala.

They're headed for the car park. After finding the identity card that Gendhis was looking for, immediately Gendhis brought it to the registration place.

As he walked towards the registration place, Gendhis said to Gala,

"Mas..please wait for grandma for a moment, I want to go to the registration room first."

Gendhis left Gala without even listening to her answer.

Gala smiled in astonishment at the behavior of Gendhis from the beginning met until now.

"Hheemmm... strange girl... can she be as sure as that to me? He doesn't even know who I am." Gala spoke to herself while walking into the IGD room.

A few minutes later, Gendhis returned to the IGD waiting room and sat in a chair not too far away from Gala.

"Ooohhh.. So her name is Grandma Suhartini to.." said Genphis while holding the KTP of the Grandmother.

At once Gala was surprised to hear Gendhis sayings.

"meaning? Grandma Suhartini? Since the beginning of our meeting I did feel a little strange, but even stranger when now suddenly you hold the ID card, and you...??? Don't tell me that you don't know the grandmother you brought here.." Gala's head was filled with so many questions she had to start asking.

"It's true, Mas. I don't know Grandma Suhartini." replied Gendhis without sin.

"Astagfirullah thing 'adzim... so you don't know the grandmother earlier?" Gala confirmed the question.

She even thought that grandma was Gendhis grandmother. From the way he talks, strengthen him, take care of him, clean him up, to find help for him.

"Yes, I don't know that grandma. But what's wrong if I help him. I did not let the grandmother fight the pain alone on the side of the road" said Gendhis while continuing to hold the ID card.

"Subhanallah, it turns out that in this day and age, there are still girls who care about other people whom he does not even know." Gala spoke in heart.

"Then, what are you going to do now?" Gala asked.

"It just so happened that in Suhartini's grandmother's wallet there was her son's number to call. I called and said I was on my way here" replied Gendhis.

Not finished they talked, the family of Mother Suhartini flocked to the IGD room. Then the Sister came out with the beautiful doctor who had just finished examining Grandma Suhartini.

"Suhartini's Mother's Family." call the Sister.

"Yes, Sister..we're his family?" Gendhis got up from his seat and walked towards the two hospital attendants.

The children of Grandma Suhartini looked at Gendhis, as if they had seen an angel who had helped their mother.

"How's Grandma Suhartini doing, Doctor?" gendhis asked the doctor who turned out to be dr. Gabby, Lintang's hidden lover is her fiance.

"Thank God... Grandma Suhartini arrived at the hospital in time. Patients are indicated to have a heart attack. If it was too late to arrive at the hospital, maybe the condition would be worse." explained dr. Gabby's on everything in there.

"The patient must be treated, and please take care of his papers in the hospital administration section. Excuse me.." dr. Gabby passed by leaving them.

All eyes were on Gendhis, the wingless angel who this morning had managed to save Grandma Suhartini. Gala is no exception. He still could not believe that the girl had dragged him to participate in this rescue mission.

"The boy who saved our mother?" ask a father whose mother had been saved by Gendhis.

"It wasn't me, sir, but it was Mas who stood there who saved grandma." Gendhis pointed towards Gala.

Gala was surprised and asked, "I?"

"Yes Father, Mother... It was this mas who saved Grandma and brought grandma here in his car" said Gendhis.

"Thank you very much, Mas. uh. I mean, sir. If not for your help, we do not know if we can still see the smile of our mother." said the father.

"Father.the age of man is God who determines. Perhaps through our intercession, God still gave long life to grandmother. Don't thank me, thank this sister who helped Grandma." Gala changed that point to Gendhis.

Grandma Suhartini's children were amazed to see the behavior of the two teenagers who were in front of them. One of them asked, then,

Gendhis lowered his head as if blushing, he only realized that he had come this far with Gala but he had not known her.

And Gala.

"Subhanallah, you do not know each other yet, but are met under the same circumstances, giving life to others... Thank you, son. We do'a right after this you will be a happy couple." The Father seemed to be praying for them.

The hue on Gendhis cheek turned flushed red with a shy blush.

"Ahhhhh... This father can." said Gala, but in his heart he guaranteed the prayer.

Gala saw the clock on her left arm already showing at 09.00 WIB. He just remembered that today he should not be late to get to campus, but it seems he was too late.

After saying goodbye to Grandma Suhartini's family, Gala immediately informed the campus that today she was late because there was humanitarian business that could not be left behind.

Gala and Gendhis walked out of the IGD room to the parking lot.

"Where are you going now?" ask Gala.

"Astaghfirullahalazim.I just want to leave my bike in front of the park when helping grandma earlier..." Gendhis just realized.

"Yes, if that's what I did, you take your bike" Gala said.

"No need, thank you. I took the angkot only." Gendo tried to refuse.

"Why should I take the angkot? It just so happens that my workplace is in line with the road there" Gala said.

Genphis still thinks.

"Look, I'm not a bad guy." Gala assured.

"I'm sorry, so it's a hassle" said Gendhis as he opened the front car door.

"Relax.no one feels bothered." replied Gala.

They finally got into the car and walked towards the front parking lot of Badaan Park. Along the way Gendhis looks scared, stiff and awkward, when it comes to sitting in a car with a man he's seen for the first time.

"Oh yeah, what's your name? We've been talking but I don't know your name." Gala asked to melt the atmosphere.

"My name is Gendhis." he answered briefly as if he did not want to know who had given him a ride.

"Gendhis? Pantesan she is sweet, her name is aja sugar (Gendhis\=gula in Indonesian)" Inner Gala.

"If you may know.. Where are you going?" Gala asked again, looking at Gendhis who was dressed in neat black and white.

There was a deep sense of sadness emanating from his face as Gala raised the question.

"I don't know, Mas. might go home" replied Gendhis desperately.

Gala was astonished to hear Gendhis strange answer.

"Lhoo... lhooo? Do you have no purpose?" Gala asked back.

"My goal was dashed Mas, when I decided to help Grandma Suhartini earlier" said Gendhis in a resigned tone.

"Why could that be?" Gala was getting curious about this girl. Unique, but mysterious.

Finally, Gendhis recounted the chronology starting from the moment he was about to go to the Untidar campus for an interview test, then he saw Grandma Suhartini with a sick condition, until now he could sit in the Gala car. Slowly Gala began to understand the girl. For the second time he saw the glory of the heart of Gendhis who was willing to sacrifice his ideals to help the lives of others.

"So that's the story." said Gala after hearing all the explanations of Gendhis.

"Eeemm. I happen to have a friend who also taught at the Untidar campus. I think the reason for your delay is quite reasonable. What if you don't have to go home. Ikhtiar used to go to college, and tell me the real reason why you could be late. It's possible, the college can accept your excuse." Gala tried to provide a solution for Gendhis.

"Oh yeah? But... can it? What if after we get there, the test is over?" gendhis face was slightly glowing.

"It will be tried first, who knows can." said Gala.

"Well, then, I'll try... Bismillah.hopefully may O Allah..." Gendhis prayed expectantly.

Gala just smiled looking at the innocent girl.

Gala's car stopped in the parking lot of Badaan Park.

"Thank you Mas.. was willing to bother me." said Gendhis shortly before getting off Gala's car.

"Yes, equally." replied Gala.

Gendhis closed the car door and Gala continued her journey to the Untidar campus.

"Astaghfirullahalazim home..." Gendhis turned around to look at Gala's car which was getting further away.

"Ehhh... Ms... wait! I don't know your name yet." cried Gendhis but it was useless because Gala's car was getting away.

"Yes Allah... Gende... Gendhis... not very polite anyway you. have been ushered, helped, now want to be helped in order to take the interview test. But how can you forget his name?" Gendhis patted himself while talking to himself.

Like the advice from Gala... Gendhis ventured to go to campus even though he knew it was too late.
