Faithfulness Ratih And Darma
Chapter 8

Husni just fell asleep. Suddenly the hape rings. He saw an unfamiliar number calling him. Then he swiped the green button excitedly.

"Hello..."

"....."

"Nara. Is this really you?" Husni immediately widened his eyes, shocked at who was now calling him.

"...."

"Oh yeah...You're going back?"

"...."

"When baby?"

"....."

"Yes I'm waiting. I miss you the same. Five years, baby, you've really tormented me."

Nara Aida's. Well that's Husni's lover who has been in Cairo for five years, continued his studies there. Now he's back to see his girlfriend.

Husni's five-year wait was not in vain. Nara, the lover she had been waiting for, finally returned with her loyalty.

Having a long distance relationship is not easy. Both must have a strong heart to both be able to maintain their love until they can be together. That's how Husni has been through.

Husni always waited in his solitude, without his heart turning to another woman.

Husni and Darma are no different. They both hold one principle. Loving only one woman.

Until she chooses to abandon her love. As Darma is today. Asri leaves and chooses another man to be her husband.

After lunch, Darma rushed into his study. He accidentally saw Miss Lisna full of panic.

The look on his face, it was very clear that he was in big trouble now.

The curious Darma, then stepped up and approached him.

"What's wrong with Lisna?" ask Darma curiously.

"Son Darma. Rehearsed...Ra's...Train Nak." Miss Lisna stammered.

Miss Lisna could not hold back her tears. Cry broke. Making Darma panic.

"Train why?" Darma asked in full of anxiety.

Miss Lisna can't say. His tongue was too faint to say it.

" Well, now you sit down, okay?" Darma tries to calm down.

Miss Lisna sighed deeply. He tries to gather all his strength to tell stories.

"So I got a call from Ratih's grandmother. Said Ratih was in an accident!"

Deg

"What...!" Darma looked surprised. His heart seemed to be hearing the news. Seen from the look on his face, anxiety and panic that enveloped his handsome face.

My girl.

"When did Bu happen?" ask Darma worriedly.

"So, when I go home from school. He was with Yuli. But I don't know how they are now. Now Ratih's grandmother is in the hospital." Bu Lisna said.

"Well, now we go to the hospital. Darma's gonna take me there." Said Darma, whose hands were still holding onto Ms. Lisna's shoulders.

"Yes Nak Darma, thank you."

"Did Mr Rudi know that too?" tanya Darma who arrived suddenly remembered with Mr. Rudy.

"Yet. No, don't tell him. He can do what the hell! " Mrs Lisna snorted in annoyance.

It is true, if all this time, Mr. Rudy never wanted to appear to solve a problem in his household life. He could never be strict with his wife and children.

He always threw all his problems at his wife. And time and time again, Miss Lisna herself solved every problem. Easy problem, or weird.

***

"Bak, where is Ratih Anggraini being treated?" ask Darma at the reception.

"Oh, you're a family of hit-and-run patients just now?" asked a hijab-wearing woman who was standing guard in the reception room.

"But run!" said Darma with a nano-eye look.

"Yes Sir. Ratih Anggraini and Yulia Paramita. An hour ago, they were in an accident. And one of those patients died at the scene." Said the receptionist who seemed to know very well about the news of the accident.

"What...!" Said Bu Lisna and Darma together.

They looked very surprised to hear the incident.

Miss Lisna looks lunglai. His whole body shook and almost fell down. Fortunately Darma swiftly caught the body of Miss Lisna.

"My son..." Miss Lisna was crying again. He was so shocked to hear all this.

"who died Ma'am?" ask Darma

My girl. Darma's mind is in chaos.

Madam Ratih drowned her head in the chest of Darma's field and cried.

Darma and Miss Lisna were both in shock. They were silent with their thoughts.

Who would not be surprised to hear a tragedy hit and run until it claimed the life of someone.

My girl, how's she. Did he...

"Sir, Ma'am, a patient named Ratih Anggraini, he's now in the ER. His condition is currently very critical. While Sister Yuli Paramita, now her body will be returned at her residence." The receptionist explained.

Darma and Miss Lisna looked calm. They then walked away to the ER.

"Thank God Ratih is still safe" said Miss Lisna later.

In the waiting room of the ER, Oma Marwa appears with the two young children Dian and Raka sitting side by side.

Darma and Miss Lisna approached them.

Oma Marwa got up from her seat. Miss Lisna with a wail of tears immediately hugged her mother tightly.

They both cried so much.

***

"Doctor, how's my son doing right now?" asked Miss Lisna who was struggling to get to the doctor.

The doctor smiled kindly.

"Ratih is still unconscious. But we handled it well. Now I will tell you that Ratih must be operated immediately. Because of a broken bone in his leg. We advise to direct the operation at this time as well." The doctor said.

"yes Doc. Immediately do. Let my fees be all that's gonna bear." Said Darma.

"All right then. We'll do the operation now. Because if it's not handled quickly, I'm afraid that the wound on Ratih's leg will rot and could cause his leg to be amputated." The doctor explained at length.

"yes Doc. Do your best." Darma said he hoped.

"I'll excuse you first." The doctor said before passing away leaving the Ratih family.

***

After work, Mr. Rudy did not go straight home. He went straight to the hospital where his son was being treated.

He hurriedly approached the place where Ratih was being treated. After the operation is completed, Ratih is immediately transferred to the treatment site. Ratih looked unconscious.

Darma who had been waiting for him, he seemed still concerned to see his girl lying helpless.

There was a different taste this time. Darma had been observing the cute face of Ratih. He smiled at me.

My girl...Now I realize. If I fall in love with you. I don't want to lose you. You're my little girl. Which I will guard until death do us part. At times like this, I feel your pain too. How will you wake up, will you be able to accept that you won't be able to walk for a while. But don't worry, I will always be by your side.

I'll be your foot.

Darma stroked Ratih's hair. And his hand clasped the hand of Ratih. Hope that Ratih will quickly awaken.

"Gorgeous grandpa, wake up. Mas kangen." Darma muttered softly but could still be heard.

"Son Darma." Said Mr. Rudy who suddenly stood behind Darma.
