Heartiness
Chapter 36 #S3

Flashbacks...

In the crowd of students who were enthusiastic watching the basketball team children who were playing basketball on the court, the, Ratna who was a little fat and nerdy silent sitting on a park bench was focusing on her book and completely ignored people around.

"Hey...". Suddenly someone greeted him kindly. Ratna raised her face to see the person who was none other than Egga and she was a little surprised to see Egga approaching her for no reason.

" Can I sit here?". Egga asked her permission while smiling. Ratna nodded softly awkwardly.

"I often watch out for you, like you're always alone. Wh why? You don't like to hang out like other girls?". Egga glanced at that innocent bumbling face then glanced towards the basketball court.

"Not what - what. Who wants to be friends with a nerdy girl like me". He answered while embarrassed.

Egga laughed a little hearing that.

" He he he. Not no one wants to be friends with you, but indeed you are the only one who closes themselves off from them and makes a fortress of inferiority in you. If no one wants to be friends with you, keep trying to think why am I here with you?". He said with a thin smile.

Ratna felt stunned by Egga's words. Egga was the first person to make friends with her self who had no friends at all during her life.

Ratna always remembered the moment because because Egga was herself trying to open up, befriending and mingling with others until now he has many friends including Dance one of his that will be a bridge in his life.

Flash On's...

Almost all nurses and other employees at the Wijaya Medical Hospital specifically, the women were busy staring at the figure of the man who had just arrived at the hospital with his style full of dignity and charm it will make anyone who sees it become melumer.

Egga morning - morning forced to go to the hospital because of the agreement to meet with Ratna. All eyes were on her considering they all knew with her status that bears the title of a cool widower since a few months ago.

"Waaaaah.... Her brother Doctor Eggy is no less cute than Doctor Eggy".

" Yes right, this looks more mature and authoritative".

" right... Right.. Right... What's more now Mr. Egga is already a widower, hmm his charm level is increasing Rrrrrrrrrt".

Whispers whispered to them the women who praised Egga after she passed them.

From the end of the road was the figure of Eggy walking towards Egga.

"Eh.. Why did you bang here? Tumben time".

" Yes, I'd like to see Dr. Ratna". Answer her.

Eggy put her suspicions on Egga while putting her index finger on her chin.

"Why did you meet Doctor Ratna ha? I suspect I'm her".

" Suspicious why are you? Rang I have business with Doctor Ratna, do not think like - like you".

"Hmm what business is it? Mm.. Mm.. Mm.. Yesterday - yesterday I said binik's grave I was still wet at will tell me a new sonny. Lah now... Even he himself who already wants to learn the new binik Ha ha ha".

Egga plucked his adek's head.

"Far away is your dirty mind. Just indiscriminate if you talk. I met Doctor Ratna because there was some business about the late Tari. There is a mandate that I must get to Doctor Ratna, hiiiiiis you are iiiih". Egga clenched her teeth looking at Eggy who was laughing sneering at her.

" Hm... Kind of tuh. Uh... By the way - what is his mandate? Don't tell me the message told you to marry Doctor Ratna ha ha ha ha ha". His dream while being broken.

"The son of a son he he he. Oh yes Ghifari is not angry with me because I did not go home with the same saying?".

" No. You again bang use the pain of the Vampire Mak that you in front of my son huuuh'. Eggy glanced at him cynically.

"Ha ha sorry. So Ghifari told you about that?".

" Yes, continue again, if the courtship is not necessary to bring - bring my child. Not sure what? Haiiii". His dumel while patting Egga's arm was quite hard.

"Dating - courtship. Where am I dating". Egga also shook Eggy's head.

" If not dating what his name is, the same lunch continues to shop again. What if not a date? huh".

"Geez, that's not who - who. He's just my colleague who happens to be my friend, because he's here again then we meet and I continue to make Ghifari so I don't just walk alone with him. Even Papa knows him. I haven't thought about it either. I'm still loyal to my son".

" Hmm whatever he wants who the cake is. The point is I will not ngizinin you bring my son again if you again make a deal with girls, what else until the story - the story about the Vampire Mak. Understood it?". Eggy glared at Egga without hesitation.

"Hm... Yes yes. Not again. Judes the time you were like a mother - mother. I'm not the one who started talking about Karien, either. Indeed, the Zia who only talked about you guys, even I did not want to respond to her and I also directly diverted to another topic, because it's not important as well as I discuss he mainly discussed about you ha ha ha".

"Hmmm. Acting pretentious to say it doesn't matter to me, but if what - what I am you most prioritized ha ha ha ha. Yes, I lived first bang. About her there's still a lot of work'an me this again. We'll connect again. We're not done yet". Eggy was farewell to her brother and walked away from him.

"Eh... Where are you going? Main stay - stay, not be polite the same time his own brother". His yells at Eggy who was walking normally.

Once Egga glanced around because of Eggy's words and made her embarrassed and smiled bitterly.

"Damn it's a rancid boy. Just watch out for you".

After being teased with his sister. Egga walked back to Doctor Ratna's room.

#Tok Tok Tok...

" Login". There was a voice from the owner of the room, Ratna.

"Assynoga". Egga appeared to Ratna with a smile.

" Waalaikumussalam, ehh you Ga. I thought you came by. Oh yes please sit down". Ratna invited Egga to sit down.

"Why? Are you busy this morning? Sorry yes I have come so early he he he he, if you are busy again this morning let us just miss the boy". Say it while sitting.

"He he hingga kok Ga, I have indeed emptied my schedule today. But you didn't go to the office first?". He sat down in front of Egga.

" If I'm that easy, I work anywhere I can, don't have to be in the office too".

"Hmm yes too. You have the company so easy he he he he".

" He he didn't, either. Oh, you had breakfast?".

"It's Ga. Oh yeah, wait, I'd like to call my assistant first and make you a drink". Ratna got up from her seat.

" Uh... No need Rat, anyways I'm full this time". He said while holding his stomach.

"Hmm yes already if that I'm ready - ready first let's just walk away". Ratna walked to her desk to tidy up her belongings and put them in her bag.

"Yes".

They soon rushed out of the hospital. Before heading to the orphanage located next to the hospital, they went to the restaurant first to make sure he was present again or not to the restaurant.

" There is no Mr. Buk. I also wonder why he never came here again". Said the owner of the restaurant after Egga asked him about Siboy.

"Mother knows where he goes if he goes again? And you know nothing about your friends?". Egga asked him again, while Ratna only listened to them as she glanced around the restaurant.

" She used to cram in the crossroads, often, only when it comes to his friends I do not know too because every time he ngamen he is always alone and does not want to join the other buskers. Maybe he made a mistake, huh? Keep catching the police. Because all I know is that he was a bad boy, he was kicked out of the orphanage for stealing his roommate's money, so he could steal continue to be caught and arrested by the police". This father even assumed badly to Siboy.

The faces of Egga and Ratna turned bitter because previously Dari had not told them about it.

"Stole sir?". Egga was curious.

" Yes, he said that. He grew up in an orphanage next to my father's hospital because I have lived here for a long time so I know the news around here. So the beginning I wonder also why the late wife of the father just believe the same street child like him and do not fear that the child will do evil to him. But if you think - think as long as he eats here, I notice he's like his son is good, he's never rioted or stole here, he's not, it is sometimes his food he loves to others the same - the same need to eat. I don't know about the boy because he tends to be closed, talking to me not much. Hmmm". It tells everything from his point of view.

After Egga heard the father's story, she understood why Tari wanted to help her, even though she initially thought badly of Siboy.

Long enough they chatted finally Egga and Ratna say goodbye to the owner of the restaurant and rushed to the orphanage where Siboy was raised and dumped into the streets.

All the caretakers enthusiastically welcomed the two, considering they were very familiar with Egga, the oldest child of the hospital owner who often helped them even the number one donor in the orphanage.

"So you came here to know about the boy? Why sir? Has he done anything wrong to his father or family? Or did he ever make a troublemaker like stealing from you?". They panicked because Egga asked about Siboy, the child who was accused of defaming the home.

" Eh he he he no, not at all sir, Buk. I asked not because Siboy wronged me or my family. I asked precisely because I wanted to thank him for helping me and my late wife he he he he". Egga preferred not to tell them.

"Alhamdulillah then he he he. I thought he was upset with my father's family. Because we know how he behaved. So we were a bit afraid also if he was troublemaking outside but instead we were the ones who got hit because of his he he he he". He said as he rubbed his chest and sighed.

After a long chat, Egga and Ratna decided to leave the parlour.

"So where are we going to find him?". Ratna asked as she glanced at Egga who was driving her car.

" I don't know Rat either. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. Although the city of Medan is not so big but it is not easy for us to find him that fast, in addition we really do not know what his form huuuh. Must have taken a long time looking for her in every corner". Egga was almost desperate and the pessimists would find her.

"Fuuht, yes Ga. But you think you believe not all the stories about the bad Siboy told by them?".

" I also don't know whether to believe or not about the story, which I'm sure I already understand why Dari would want to help her".

Four Ratna frowned looking at Egga who was looking ahead.

"Why?".

" I know very well what Dance is. He helps someone not without reason, other than out of pity, he also understands what the person is suffering from, what else is helping a child whose life is just a piece of kara. And I'm sure that what Tari's doing is right and it won't make us feel any trouble". Egga glanced at Ratna while smiling.

"Yaaa, I also know very well the Dance. No wonder so many kids love themselves in the hospital. He he he although he can not be a mother to your children, but Tari has become a mother to those he helped so far". Ratna's view looks a little cool while smiling thinly considering the figure of Dance is very motherly and loving.

Egga confirmed Ratna's words with her sweet smile and without saying a word.
