🍀 BETWEEN TASTE AND LOGIC 🍀
Teihat hospital gets quieter as the patient's look ends. Abah is still lying in the ICU and unconscious. While Mom and Nindy guard outside the ICU and do not go home. That afternoon, Joko had just taken money from Nindy's ATM. Their salary and additional money from Ningsih for the cost of treatment Abah.
"Don't the money come in?" nindy asked as Joko returned from the parking lot of the ATM Center.
"Already, Deck. Sana said thank you. Ms. Ningsih gave Ms. five million to help Abah" Joko told her sister's orders.
"Thank God, Bang. Aunt Ningsih is very good, yes. Nindy wants to call. Wait a minute, yeah," said Nindy as she passed to the park to call Aunt Ningsih.
Joko was there, approaching her mother. "Mom, don't worry, yeah. Later Abah charges using Joko and Nindy salary money only. This is Bu Ningsih also tipped five million to help the cost of Abah." said Joko while rubbing the shoulders of her aging mother.
As a boy and the firstborn, Joko sometimes felt ashamed of not being able to embrace her family. He still feels lacking in sufficient needs. Moreover, the problem of Abah's health is declining. Joko felt guilty and useless.
"Thank God, Bang. Your boss is beautiful, too. Mother same Abah owes a lot of gratitude." said Mother with teary eyes.
"Yes, Mom. For some reason, eventually even Joko did not feel good alone ama Bu Ningsih. He's so good with our family." Joko let out a breath. As a man, there must be a bad taste if it is continuously given. And so did Joko.
"Yes, Bang. Mom knows. But what else ...think of this as a sustenance from Allah."
The conversation ended when Nindy returned. He called Ningsih to say thank you. Nindy also said that Ningsih will visit later tonight.

Ningsih prepared to go home after finishing the breakthrough of the shift one to the second shift. He also advised all employees to be diligent in filling out reports and submitting reports at the cashier table at the end of each shift. Ningsih rushed home, taking Bima home as well.
"Bima, let's go home. You have to rest a lot." said Ningsih stroking her husband's shoulder.
"Yes, thank you, Ningsih."
Bima looked down at the woman before her, who then reached out to her. The woman he loved so much. There was such a deep sense of guilt piercing the heartstrings for making Ningsih mired in a dark valley. However, what power. It's all been happening.
Arriving at home, Ningsih immediately went to the room because she knew Bima was waiting there. Bima deliberately changed the form to the original to save energy. While waiting for the seventh impact that Ningsih must be completed. Although in Ningsih's heart, did not want to wish her husband who was sick like that.
Ningsih opened the door of the room, then hurriedly closed it back. Ningsih took a shower because she was going to the hospital tonight. It was around 17:00 and since Nindy called, Ningsih had a good idea.
After bathing, Ningsih changed clothes and explained to Bima that she was going to the hospital to visit Joko's brother.
"I'm coming! I forgot that Joko put her heart on you. His jealousy, will be a meal for me and produce energy, although not much. Appreciable. After all, the hospital had a lot of sadness and sadness, it could all be absorbed to get additional energy." explained Bima who of course Ningsih could not understand.
The devil feeds on the aura of sadness, anger, jealousy, even hatred that comes out of the heart and the mind of man. The more negative things are, the stronger the Devil is.
"Good, baby. Let's hurry!" Ningsih was excited to go down to the first floor and out of his house. Bima immediately waited for Ningsih in the car before changing into a human form on the way.
"Where else are you going, ma'am?" ask Mr. Umar who is brewing coffee.
"Eh, yes, sir. I want to go to the hospital, Nengoj Abahya Joko and Nindy. You want to come?"
"Wow, I'd love to, ma'am. But I'm afraid to leave this house without a guard. Have you ever cheated again. Pardon, Madam. I take care in the post only," said Mr. Umar with a funny language style.
"Yes, Sir. Don't be tired, yeah. I will order food online for Mr. Umar," exclaimed Ningsih as he got into the car, then drove slowly away from his house.
Ningsih smiled. Mr. Umar is very good and hardworking. He supported the children and wife in the village and dreamed of making an orphanage. Ningsih intends to help if the restaurant business is stable.
"Ningsih ... Your security guard was a good person." said Bima suddenly beside Ningsih.
"Yes, Bima. He had a noble dream, wanting to set up an orphanage in his village because of the many homeless children," Ningsih replied while driving a car.
"It's a shame ..." Bima said and stopped.
"Why Bima? Mr Umar why?" Ningsih became suspicious of Bima's words that stopped.
Bima looked at Ningsih. "Pak Umar has end-stage brain cancer. All this time he did not want to complain of pain and continued to work for his family. His age is not long anymore" Bima said while stunned.
"Pak Umar? It's so sorry ... I'll take him to check!" said Ningsih who was sad, surprised, and worried at the same time.
"Then ... may I help him realize his dream and give something for his family to survive after his disappearance?" ask Ningsih carefully.
"Sure, may. My wife's heart is soft and kind as an angel. It's so much different from me. Ha ha ha ha ..." said Bima while laughing at himself.
"Mom, can you! Not felt, has arrived. At seven o'clock, time to visit the patient."
They parked the car and walked out to the hospital entrance. Ningsih already knew the ICU where Abah was being treated, so it wasn't hard for her to find the room.
"Ningsih, the aura here is refreshing," hissed Bima while inhaling all the negative air there.
Each corridor passed presents a pleasure for the Devil like Bima. Sadness .. pain .. hopelessness ... rutuk ... umpatan ... even some have the heart to blame the Creator. Bima smiled as all of that made her come back refreshed. It's good to heal the wounds on the chest of the former fight with the selling creature.
"Bima .. isn't it getting hotter here?" asked Ningsih while flanking her husband's arm.
"Yes ... The hospital residents were angry because I absorbed all their food. Just chill. Everything is safely under control." said Bima who then grinned.
Ningsih was silent. He knew that everything would be safe and fine as long as Bima was beside him. They arrived at the ICU.
It looks like Mom is sitting on a chair, Nindy is next to her, while Joko is standing staring at the ICU glass room. Ningsih approached them. He was about to release his hand from Bima. However, Bima still held his hand and smiled.
"Good night, Mother ... Nindy ... Joko," said Ningsih who made them directly face towards the direction of Ningsih's voice.
"Tante Ningsih!" nindy exclaimed as she stood up and approached, then kissed Ningsih's hand and Bima's hand.
Mother also shook hands with Ningsih and Bima. Unlike the reaction of Joko who does not like to see Bima next to Ningsih.
"Joko, how quiet is it? That's your boss coming. Say hello or say thank you!" mother said with a rather high tone to make Joko not feel good.
"Hmm, yes, Mom. Good night, Ningsih and Mr. Bima. Thank you for coming here and giving us help" Joko said by force. In his heart, the jealousy was becoming more and more real.
Bima just smiled looking at the man. Making Joko keep the flames of jealousy even more.
"Yes, Joko. You welcome. How's Abah doing?" tanya Ningsih who walked over to Joko. Bima released a hand from her link with Ningsih.
"The situation is not conscious yet .. Abah's condition is declining" said Joko staring at the ICU's room divider sadly.
"Patience, yes, Joko .. The doctor definitely did his best for Abah. You have to be strong and strong" said Ningsih while stroking the shoulder of the tall, arab-faced man.
"Yes .. thank you." Joko's sense of comfort got when Ningsih's soft handcuffs touched her shoulders. Joko really wants Ningsih. Although it has worked for more than four years, the feeling is always there.
"Honey, don't forget that you want to give to Joko's mother," chirped Bima make Joko's wish disappear.
"Oh, yes. Thank you, dear, for being reminded," replied Ningsih who smiled looking at Bima. Makes Joko's chest even more painful. Bima enjoys jealousy it becomes his meal.
Ningsih stood next to Joko's mother, then handed her a brown envelope. "Mom, this is please accepted the granting of Ningsih and Bima to help Abah treatment. Don't be rejected, yes, ma'am," said Ningsih.
"Masya Allah .. thank you very much. Didn't Madam transfer to Nindy? Masha Allah is good, Madam. May Allah launch the sustenance of Madam Ningsih and Mr. Bima" said Joko's mother unceasingly pray.
Joko. He was embarrassed and helpless about finances. He was growing jealous and envious of Bima with all her ease. "If I were rich. If I could be with Ningsih. Arrh!" the curse is in the heart and of course Ningsih and Bima heard.
"Mom, it doesn't have to be. Ningsih is not even good. Ningsih is sincere." said Ningsih with a smile on her face.
Bima deliberately hugged Ningsih's waist. Then he said, "Darling, it's starting at night. We still have a show, right?" Bima blinking one eye.
Ningsih also understood and said to go home to Mom, Nindy, and Joko. They also invited and thanked Ningsih and Bima. Of course, Joko is increasingly upset to see Bima's stocky hands embrace Ningsih's slim waist. For Joko, it seems deliberately displayed.
Ningsih and Bima stepped out of the hospital. "Mom, are you fresh? Recovered yet?" tanya Ningsih was enthusiastic to see her husband look fresher.
"Lumayan, baby. Moreover, Joko's jealousy makes my energy go up to 30% at this time. You can find the right time for the seventh impact because my energy starts to fill up again" Bima replied while hugging and peeping Ningsih's forehead.
