Heartiness
Chapter 15 #S3

In a cafe that impressed homie there Egga who was meeting with his client who before he had scheduled it first. He was accustomed to meeting outside in order to cause a relaxed atmosphere and not tense, rather than having a meeting in the office or in a formal place.

Egga's soul of self-reliance was radiated more and more as she presented about the project they were about to undertake now. Almost the same as Eggy, not a few women visitors glance at themselves because of her authority that Ma Sya ALLAH.

The meeting was over and the clients left one by one. Egga had to clean up his own belongings because the assistant or his personal secretary was in Jakarta. While the members at the Medan branch office could not accompany him because he was busy on each of his duties.

" Egga's? ". Suddenly a woman greeted herself

Egga turned her head and looked at the person who had greeted her.

" Eh Ratna's. Hi ". Egga smiled kindly at the person who turned out to be Ratna.

" Lunch with Dance again? Where's the dance? ". Ratna glanced at the looking for Dance.

Egga frowned her.

" Lho... Didn't you guys make a meeting today? ".

" huh? ". Ratna was astonished. He paused for a moment and thought, as if he had no appointment with Dance today.

" Is Dance a lie to Egga?". His inner.

" Oh Ratna? How silent? ". Egga waved Ratna while swinging her hand to Ratna's face.

" Eh... I... Ja. We did meet, but only for a moment because I had another appointment with someone else. So I guess after I met you guys, you guys had lunch together here he he he he ". Ratna is forced to lie to Egga to cover up the lies of Tari.

" Oh that. I'm here not the same Dance, I'm in a meeting with my client here. Maybe Dance was home already? About him I have not been ngabari him also he he he he he. Oh yeah who are you here with? ".

" Hm. I'm here by myself, I'll make the same friend here but like his friend I haven't come he he he". Ratna dyed to find the figure she would meet it.

" Mm... What friend is a friend? Must be a guy, right? He he he". Egga instead teased Ratna so that her cheeks looked flushed red with a shy blush.

" Friend of Ga! Not who - who ".

" He he he yes, after all if who - who is also not what - what he he he he he. Yes, I went back first, huh? About him I have another meeting with my members in the office ". He said while glancing at his watch.

Ratna nodded slowly.

" yes. Say hello to Dance, right?".

"Yes In Sha ALLAH I have arrived. Oh yes send greetings also yes the same special friend he he he he he". His whispers.

" Iih what the hell is Ga ".

" Ha ha ha. Yes, there is assalamualaikum".

" Waalaikumussalam".

Ratna smilingly stared at the departure of Egga while shaking her head.

" True pity this couple on such a tough test".

Flashbacks...

The atmosphere is so boisterous because there is a medical faculty reunion event from the 90's to the 2017 generation at one of the private universities in Medan. Almost the entire building has the same profession that is a doctor.

Not to forget Tari also participated in the event, considering he was one of the alumni of the class of 2014 at the university. The dance that took Egga to the event did not forget he introduced Egga to his friends.

" Ratna? ". Egga is a little familiar to one of Tari's close friends, Ratna, who happens to be an Egga classmate during High School.

" You're Ratna right, my classmate from High School? ".

Dance glanced at the two of them.

" Yes, I'm Ratna your classmate he he he ". Apparently Ratna had known this before her, but she had never told a single story on Dance.

" O LORD...! Haven't we met in a long time? ".

"Yes, it's been a long time he he he ".

" So you guys used to be friends? ". Dance now questioned on both of them.

" Oh my goodness. Didn't you think? He is beib's son. Silent times her guy. Just don't know the end - the end of him has changed a lot, even between the three of us (his point is Dance, Dari, Ratna and Astri) this Ratna who is a lot of her talk now ha ha ha ha. But don't know, this time he kok tumben time not tell me if you guys are victorious. Huff". Dance uprooted while embracing Ratna.

As for Ratna herself, she blushed in shame because it was told like that.

" Ih you guys are. I don't know what - he he he he. I'm sorry Tar, I don't want to tell you before. Just that I was on purpose, I want to see your reaction after knowing this ho ho ho ".

Egga chuckled while Tari was singing her lips.

" Basic huft! Hmmp this world is narrow times huh? Don't know you were classmates during High School. Already there to here ehh end - end of his we found again with people - people we know first ". Dance smiled as she glanced at the two.

" Ayeah right. That's his name mate. A mate does not mean only for our life partner, but that soul mate can mean for friends, friends or relatives. And the soul mate also will not go anywhere, he will return in his time ". Egga connected Tari's words while clasping her hands and smilingly looking at her without caring about the crowd.

Ratna smiled wryly looking at this couple. Couples who make jealous singles like themselves when they see their romance that does not look tacky like other couples.

Flash on's....

Egga arrived at his residence in Medan, not at his parents' house, but rather at their own home. Not only in Jakarta, they also have a pretty luxurious house in one of the housing in the city of Medan.

Egga frowned when she saw the gate of her house was still locked from the outside.

" Still locked? Did Tari not come home yet? But where'd he go? How is he not there for me? ". A thousand questions in his mind and a little worried. He reached into his pants pocket to reach for his cell phone. Then he called Tari.

#The number you are going to is inactive

The operator also bribed - bribe.

" Why not the number active? Did he go back to my mom's house?". Egga also called her Mama's mobile number, but Tari was not there. Then he contacted Almira, asking her about him but she was not there either.

Egga was increasingly worried, he contacted all those close to them who were not despised Eggy who was in the hospital and her in-laws aka parents of Tari, but they gave the same answer, namely, Dance is not with them.

" Where the hell are you beib? How come the time he didn't bother me?". Egga rubbed her face and thought of where the usual places came from by Tari. Egga dashed into the car and then passed by at high speed.

It turns out that Tari was in a cemetery that contained burrows of the mother who had long left her. The atmosphere of the cemetery was so quiet, there was only the sound of a wiry Dance telling her in front of her mother's vortex.

" Mother... Dance misses the same time mother. Maafin Dance because Dance is rarely here nengokin mother. Mother! Dari again sad bun, Tari feels very guilty as husband Dance because Dance has lied to her today, Tari is not worthy to be his wife Egga, he said, because the dance is not perfect anymore bun ". The tears of Dance dripped infinitely.

" Dance does not know what to do bun, Dancing confused. Dari could not tell Egga about this disease because Dari did not want to make her sad. Every time Tari saw her face her taste tears Dance wanted to spill, her sense of Tari was eager to tell her but Tari was really unable to bun to tell her, hu hu hu ". Dance sobbed so bitterly, the hijab she wore was wet from her tears.

Before long Egga arrived at the cemetery, he remembered where Dari went when he was nowhere. Egga regulated her breath and felt relieved when she saw the wife was on the edge of the lips of her mother's grave. Egga approached her without a sound.

" Dance can't afford to bun to tell the real Egga. Because of this uterine cancer will make his dream to become a father definitely destroyed bun ". Dance was still venting and was unaware of Egga's arrival.

As for Egga herself, her footsteps came to a halt. He was shocked to hear about the disease. Her legs felt limp and glued behind Tari. Egga's tears trickled down instantly. " O ALLAH... I want to run hugging her. He'll be sadder. Yes ALLAH... Give us the strength to pass this test from you ". Shrinking in his heart, he occasionally looked at the clear sky.

Egga wiped away her tears, then deliberately her footsteps made a sound for Tari to realize there was someone. As fast as lightning, Tari wiped her tears and looked back. He was surprised to see the figure of Egga who was behind him.

" O LORD beib, you are here again. Where have I been looking for you, I'm worried about you". Egga squatted down next to her, then hugged her.

Egga also released her embrace and turned to look at her Mother-in-law's batusan.

" You know I'm here?". Dari glanced at Egga who was rubbing the tombstone of the mother-in-law.

" Ashalamualaikum bun. Today's naughty mother's son, he's already made her husband worried to and fro looking for her. Good thing Egga remembered that the mother's son always came here if he was nowhere - where. Huuuh "'s ". Instead of answering Tari's question, he instead spoke at the mother's vortex and sneered at Tari.

Dance feels guilty. He grabbed Egga's hand and grasped her. Egga turned to look at the wife whose face was puffy and her nose reddened.

" I'm sorry I'm beib for making you worry ".

Egga smiled. Her right hand stroked the cheek and circumference of the Dance's eyes. Egga's heart felt congested yet she tried to cover it up.

" It's okay - what a beib. Yes, let's go home. This afternoon ".

Dance nodded slowly. They also say goodbye to Mother Almarhumah. And then they left the funeral.

.

At night, Egga looked at the sleeping Dance first on the bed. His face still looks puffy. He touched Tari's face gently and took a deep breath - and then let her back.

" You must be very sad to endure this all by yourself. I don't care what happens to you, I'll always be by your side and sure you can get through these difficult times ". Lirih.
