Heartiness
Chapter 47 #S3

Elsewhere, more precisely in the hospital where Siboy was treated.

Egga and Ratna sat quietly while looking at Siboy who was fast asleep. Egga had a glance at Ratna's face that looked moody and downcast.

"You why? How moody is that?" He asked out of curiosity.

Ratna looked over at it briefly and then looked back down.

"I feel annoyed with myself. For the second time I can't save anyone more than the people you love".

Egga simply fell silent listening to it carefully.

" First, I couldn't save Tari and this time I couldn't save Doctor Eggy's son. I'm pissed off by myself". Ratna's tone was slightly different from before, now it sounded a little choked up as it held back its cries.

Slowly Egga held onto Ratna's shoulder warmly.

"It's not all your fault Rat. This is indeed already the will of ALLAH, it is indeed their time. You can't blame yourself". Egga looked into Ratna's eyes which were also staring at her.

They were swept away in silence while enjoying each other's gazes. Their hearts were beating so fast.

" Eh... Sorry... He he he". Egga realized then with a blush he turned his gaze towards Siboy who was still asleep.

While Ratna was bowed in shame while putting her hands on her chest with a hide to feel her uncontrolled heartbeat.

They were suddenly awkward and occasionally they glanced in turn.

"Oh yeah, Siboy told you about what happened to him?". Ratna opened her voice again after they were silent for a moment.

" hasn't. I haven't questioned that either. I'll ask her after she gets out of the hospital. If I ask now maybe it will cause the effects of trauma or he will not tell me at all until anytime. I'll wait until he's completely calm". The answer.

"Yes anyway. Because a child of her age must be vulnerable to trauma. I hope it'll be over soon. Even I want it we don't have to extend it anymore, I mean yes we let it pass, because it will harm Siboy again".

" It can't be Rat, because people like them we have to teach a lesson. If we remain silent, they will likely repeat it again. Not only Siboy, maybe many other children they harm for their own benefit". Eggy glanced at Ratna while smiling at her.

Ratna nodded slowly.

"Ease - hopefully we are always protected by GOD and nothing will happen that we do not want. Aamiin". Hopefully with worry.

" Aamiin's".

#The heart beats when you are near me.

Maybe I am in love with you.

......

The sound of the music of the song Your presence from Vagetos made Ratna fall asleep to hear it. Unlike the night usually he is always busy struggling on his laptop alias on his job, this time he just fell silent sitting sweetly on his bed listening to his favorite song since the first time the song appeared in the realm of Indonesian music.

Egga's shadow was still haunting in his mind thus making himself a smile - a smile of his own and a shy blush.

"Why do I keep thinking of Egga?". Ratna rubbed her face and realized something was impossible.

" No... Not... Not... Ratna's... You can't be of any kind. Egga is your late best friend's husband and now he will remarry the woman of his parents' choice. You can't be weird - weird, Egga is your friend no more, don't you break this good relationship". Ratna had an argument with herself, and now her heart suddenly felt something different about being near Egga. Like the feeling he had felt when he first got his first love letter.

#trings...

The notiv tone of WhatsApp messages rang on Ratna's phone lying beside her. As fast as lightning he grabbed his phone.

#" Assalamualaikum Rat... You're not busy tomorrow?". It was Egga who sent the message.

Spontaneously, Ratna's face flushed and smiled, reading the message from the man she had just thought about. He immediately replied to his message.

Ratna #"Waalaikum. Not so busy, at least there is only a medical check-up schedule of patients at 9 am. Whyyyy?". Send.

Ratna grew excited as her message was read by Egga and marked Egga typing her reply.

Egga #" Oh. Tomorrow Kan Siboy out of the hospital, I mean to ask for help with you to be with him for a while because tomorrow morning and noon I again have a meeting schedule with my client. When I finished my job, I went straight to the hospital. How, can you not Rat?".

Ratna #"Ohmmm... What time did Siboy say he was out of the hospital?".

Egga #"Tadi said Eggy about 10 am that, while I was meeting at 9 am, abis continued meeting with other clients at 12 pm. Want to ask for help with Eggy is not possible, she will still grieve maybe tomorrow she still nemeni Almira and can not go to the hospital. That's why I asked for her help with you. I'm afraid Siboy will be confused if he's alone".

Brenda #Emm... Yes already, tomorrow I will accompany him. Tomorrow I'm ready around that hour if the patient is not much he he he he he. Later if you're long, I'll just take Siboy to my house".

Egga #"No need Rat. Your mother will be angry if you bring Siboy to your house. You guys just go to my house, let nothing go wrong".

Ratna #"Well... It is not that it is increasingly causing misunderstandings if we go to your house. What else in your house there's no one - who".

Egga #"He he. You take it easy, anyways at home I have my housekeeper and his security, I'll tell them if you want to come home".

Ratna #"Hwrong... Okay deh. Watch out later if it becomes the material slander of your neighbors, I cut your neck 😤".

Egga #"Ha ha. You take it easy, In sya ALLAH we avoid the slander 😘".

Ratna was speechless looking at the emoji sent by Egga.

Egga #"Ehh sorry Rat, I'm wrong emoji he he he should be this emoji 😇 but I'm wrong he he he he 🤦".

Ratna #"Ha ha ha yes no problem Ga, it's usual that if his fingers like tweezers ha ha ha ha 😂".

Egga #"He he he, sorry yes Rat 🙏".

Ratna #"Yes. Yeah, we'll call again tomorrow, okay? I'm starting to get this sleepy".

Egga #"Oh's.. Yes yes, Rat. Sorry for interrupting your night. Yes, you have rested. Good evening. Wassalamualaikum".

Ratna #" It's not a problem. You also do not sleep long. Good night also Waalaikumsalam".

Egga #"Yes I also want you to see if he he he".

Ratna's eyes were already unstoppable, she immediately fell asleep without reading the last message from Egga.

Ratna ran to the registration room and reported on the map.

"At 8 am what doctor's schedule today?". He asked the oriental woman with his narrowed eyes.

" Dock my docks first check". He answered while checking the schedule list of the doctors.

"It looks like Doctor Eggy Doc, but since Doctor Eggy is having trouble the possibility of Doctor Eggy emptying her schedule these few days".

" Oh... Yes, if so, please change my schedule today at 8 and do not accept too many patients because I hunt because there is family business".

The woman nodded her head and changed the list.

"Good Doc. How many patients do medical check-ups?".

Ratna thought for a moment.

"About 20 people because I have to be done by 9".

" Good Doc. How about a good doctor? Usually the doctor's assistant is here, set the doctor's schedule".

Ratna smiled in response.

"Yes. My assistant has permission for me that today he is a little late because he has family business". He deliberately did not tell the truth that the assistant was often late, not because of family matters but because of his carelessness that always woke up bad luck. Ratna did not say it because she did not want her assistant to look bad in front of others.

"Oh... Nice time ya who became assistant doctor Ratna, already his salary is great ehh his work'an little. Not like me, his work piled even his salary bit hufft". His complacency bemoaned his fate and envied the fate of others.

Ratna smiled again while shaking her head.

"You can't complain like that. Rezeky and the fate of people are different. Many or at least we should be grateful for what GOD has given us".

The woman bowed in shame while smiling bitterly.

"Yes Doc".

Ratna smiled faintly looking at him.

" Have I changed my schedule?".

"Already Doc".

" Thank you yes. If so, excuse me first".

"Yes Doc is the same - the same".

Ratna left and walked to her room. He smiled broadly when he saw his assistant had already arrived in his room.

" Have you arrived Ki?". His question made his assistant named Kiki surprised and suddenly became nervous so that the paper he was holding flew to the floor.

"E.. Uh.. I.. Yes Doc. Ma's.. Sorry Doc". He bent down to pick up the paper. Ratna was already feeling no wonder anymore with the careless nature of her assistant. He left it and sat in his chair.

" Today I was only until 9 and I only received 20 patients. Don't forget to record my work report today and send it to my email. And later you try to ask the lab, is it ready the results I asked yesterday, if it is ready, just put the results of the lab in my drawer, tomorrow I will check".

"Huh? What Doc?". That's all he can respond to with his look (think plate). Ratna exhaled while rolling her eyeballs. Actually he was eager to replace him with someone else but what power, Ratna felt sorry for his assistant when he remembered his family background is very poor, so he was very poor, and he's only one - his one backbone in his family since he and his younger siblings were in a stay gone by both his parents.

Ratna rubbed her face and was patient with him.

"Huh! Today I am only until 9 am, after that you me menemenin I have something to do and again try tomorrow you come do not be late yes". He softly said.

" aa... Okay Doc". The woman nodded her head.

1 Hour had passed and Ratna also after handling the 20 patients that she had previously restricted and she and her assistant ran to Siboy's room and handled all the requirements to get Siboy out of the hospital expeditiously.

After all was done, he immediately brought Siboy to Egga's house according to his orders and sent his assistant back to his house alias home. Ratna glanced at Siboy from the rearview mirror of her car. Since then he saw Siboy just silent and obey what Ratna said.

"Boy? You're okay, right?".

"Good Mom". Answer's short.

" From now I see you are just silent, so I ask he he he".

"I'm not okay, Doctor. Where are we going, Mom? Why isn't the road going towards my hut?". Siboy was astonished to see the streets that were foreign to him.

" Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you. Mr. Egga told me to take you to his house. Mr. Egga can't take you directly because he has a little work".

"Emmm... But why was I brought to Mr. Egga's house?".

" If that's later Mr. Egga himself will tell you".

Siboy no longer asked Ratna alias he was silent a thousand languages until they reached the house of Egga. Siboy was astonished and amazed to see the large and luxurious house, he thought it was not a house but a palace like the one in the fairy tale. His eyes were so wild looking at every corner of the house.

"Boy... You just sit down first. You can't be too tired". Ratna asked him to sit on the soft-looking sofa. Slowly he sat down on the sofa. He felt how soft the sofa was while looking - look at the entire guest room even he saw some photos of Egga and Dance on the wall.

"You don't hesitate Boy. Just relax he he he". Ratna surprised him because he suddenly appeared with a cup of warm tea.

" It's you drinking her warm tea to make your body better". He brought the cup of tea.

"Yes, Doctor Ma'am. Thanks". The answer then welcomed him.

" Asalamualaikum". There was the sound of someone saying a greeting and making the two look at the door together.

"Vaalaikumussalam".

"Why don't you let me Rat, when you guys get home? I'm worried about you". Egga walked over to them with her anxious face.

" He he he. Yes sorry. You see, I'm afraid to bother you with work so I don't think I need to tell you anymore".

"Hufft but I'm worried about her thinking. I went straight to the hospital 'cause I thought you guys were still there, when I got there, uh they said you guys had been home since an hour ago, so I was worried. My mind has gone somewhere - where it happened, I think'in you guys why - why".

" Sorry 🙏 he he he he". Ratna put her palms together before him while grinning and narrowing her eyes.

"You have another guest?". Suddenly Zia appeared and made them surprised then turned to her simultaneously.
