Heartiness
Chapter 67 #S3

Ever since the sun began to appear, Egga asked Mr. Wijaya to take him out of his room. He wanted to enjoy the refreshing morning air and again asked Mr. Wijaya to leave him alone in the garden behind the house.

Egga sat pensively on top of her wheelchair while enjoying the morning breeze that blew against her face.

Although his gaze looked towards the sky scene but his mind still remained on Ratna.

" lt....". Tara called out to her and broke her reverie.

Egga also looked.

"Yes Tara?".

" We have breakfast. Om Eggy same Aunt Almira just came. They make sure we have the same breakfast - the same Pa". Tara approached.

"Once, you guys have breakfast first. Papa's not hungry yet". Egga smiled at Tara.

" What are you bang. You can't delay eating. You're still sick". Suddenly Eggy appeared startling them.

Egga chuckled at the sight Eggy was already scolding her.

"You're good, morning - morning already repotted like mother - mother ha ha ha".

" Hiiist you must be in the first repetin just want to obey me". Eggy glared at Egga.

"Ha ha ha. Uh yes, Tara just first breakfast, later Papa the same Om Eggy followed". Egga asked Tara to leave them both because Egga wanted to talk to her about something. With a heavy heart Tara left both.

" Why do you wear your face on the lid - cover it like that?". Egga was curious to see her sister suddenly wearing a mask like never before and Egga also had time to see the wound on the temples of Eggy's eyes.

"Hemm? It's nothing, it's just the flu". Eggy said dishonestly to him.

"No need to lie to me. You can't lie to me. Why is that a face?". Egga rolled her eyeballs, she understood once that her sister was not good at lying.

"Huh... Why the hell aren't you able to lie to me". Eggy fuck.

Egga /" Not can not be lied to but indeed you are the only one who is not good at lying ha ha ha".

Eggy /"Hmm... Maybe this is the sign of the good guy, because the good guy will not want to lie so if he lied once he would not be able to ha ha ha ha".

Egga/"Hmmp yes yes yes yes. Already have. Answer me, why is that your face?".

Eggy /"Hemmm... Ordinary hotshot so if you don't like gini is not a hero his name ha ha ha".

Egga did not feel funny at all, instead he was flat even he looked angry at Eggy.

"Omen Sama? So what? Ha?". Guess it.

Eggy /" Yes... Her abis I'm upset with her, yesterday she almost ruined my life now she wants to ruin your life. Did you try the goal?".

Egga /"If your problem is the same with him I don't know how. But if the business he will marry Ratna is a matter of soul mate, a matter of destiny that has been set by ALLAH for them. GOD could have betrothed the two of them instead of matching him with me, so we can't be angry with anyone because it's the will of GOD".

Eggy/"Yes I know bang, this is all God's will but at least we know why Omen did this to both of us? Obviously he knows very well about us. It's natural that I'm a hammer with him. My business is just as he's not done yet, here he wants to find trouble again with you. Is he trying to do this to the same of the two of us?".

Egga/"That's Gy, I don't know what to do either. I can only be sincere and resigned if Ratna is not my soul mate. But at this moment I want to meet with Ratna at least as a release of my longing for her and maybe that meeting will be our last meeting". She looked at her wedding ring with Tari on her ring finger.

"So you give up that bang?". Eggy looked at it softly.

Egga took a breath and then exhaled it long.

" Yahuuuh.... Maybe, but maybe also more precisely resigned and try to be sincere".

Eggy/"See your plan what bang?".

Egga glanced at Eggy who was waiting for an answer from her.

"Hm... If permitted by ALLAH, I would like to see Ratna one last time". The answer.

Eggy saw her brother's hope was so great, it was evident from her eyes. Finally Eggy decided to bring Egga to meet Ratna at her house.

Eggy asks their families for permission to take Egga to the hospital, not telling them the truth that she will bring Egga to meet Ratna except for Almira. He tells Almira where they are going so that Almira is not so worried and Almira can also convince the others.

...

#ting... Kegs... Ting... Kegs...

Eggy pressed the doorbell button located on the pole next to the white fence. They stayed long enough in front of the fence while pressing the bell and saying greetings under the hot sun.

"Maybe there's no one else?". Eggy turned her head to and fro from the corner of Ratna's house while narrowing her eyes due to the glare of the sun.

" Maybe. Maybe they're busy taking care of the wedding". Egga was disappointed not to find Ratna at that moment.

Eggy/"So how? Are we home?".

Egga nodded slowly.

"Yes already is. Maybe GOD would not allow it. Let's go home yuk". He also pushed a wheelchair.

While the two stopped their steps and turned to the owner of the house, Ratna.

"Pulse... Bang, like I have to leave you jerk it, because binik I did earlier, he asked to buy a snack (smile) for my son, he asked, know that if you are not followed as soon as possible can sulk (park) my son he he he he, later if you want to go home, you just call me, let me pick up". Eggy was deliberately looking for an excuse to give them space to be able to talk both. He left behind Egga and Ratna who were still glued.

" Um... You, please come in". With a sense of awkward Ratna let Egga into her house. Egga slowly pushed her wheelchair into Ratna's home. Egga glanced around Ratna's house that looked deserted. Looks like only Ratna is at home.

"Emmm... What do you want to drink? Uh... Yes please sit down. Uh.. I forget. Sorry". Ratna was wrong.

Egga just silently looked at her who looked increasingly thin and shabby. He saw a frame on the wall of Ratna's house right in the living room where the frame contained a photo of Ratna and Omen's engagement. Pain and jealousy must be there but he tries to stay strong.

"You how are you?". Egga also spoke.

" uh? Me? I'm perfectly healthy. You yourself how are you? I didn't know you were awake and out of the hospital. Sorry I didn't have time to visit you during your treatment, because I was busy he he he". Ratna pretended not to do anything during Egga's treatment.

His sense he was eager to hug the man who was sitting on the wheelchair right in front of him but what power, he had to firmly hold himself and his tears that wanted to break.

"Oh yes! I'm forgetful, I made you a drink first. Bentar huh?". Ratna turned her body to move into the kitchen.

" Why did you give up Rat?". Egga's question stopped Ratna's footsteps, as soon as her tears flowed down her cheeks.

"Why did you just give up on me?".

" What makes you give up like this?".

Ratna's chest felt tight, she tried to hold back her crying but she was unable to do so. He refused to turn his body to look at Egga. He did not want Egga to see him tear up.

" You know that I miss you so much". Egga tried to get up from her wheelchair to approach Ratna but Egga made a mistake the second time, her body which was still weak and unable to stand on its own now collapsed.

Ratna turned her body and was surprised to see that Egga had fallen and was still trying to get back up. Soon Ratna helped him to rise.

"Gega, you're still weak. You can't stand up yet. You must not force yourself, if you force it it will be fatal to you". He said while propping up Egga and sitting her on his wheelchair.

Egga looked into Ratna's eyes that were so close to her. Without a second thought Egga hugged Ratna's body tightly and without any rejection from Ratna in the slightest.

"I miss you so much, baby. I can't hold this longing any longer". He said while smearing Ratna's shoulder.

They are just ordinary people who are powerless to hold back their feelings of longing. The longing has been. It broke out mixed with their tears of sadness.

Egga let go of her hug but did not release Ratna nearby. He looked at Ratna's face that was already wet from her tears and vice versa.

"Why did you just give up? hu hu hu. Why did you give up, baby?". Egga held onto Ratna's face and occasionally stroked her with her thumb.

" I'm sorry hu hu. I'm sorry hu hu hu". Ratna apologized to Egga sobbing because she also did not know what to say other than an apology.

Egga/"Is there something that makes you give up like this? Or is it because of someone?".

Ratna shook her head as she cried out a hug.

"Or because you never loved me?". Egga's question was really piercing at the two.

Ratna was crying and shaking her head.

" Hu hu hu hu, no. That's not true hu hu. I love you so much, it's just... Hu hu hu. It's just that we can't be with hu hu hu".

"Why? Is it because of your and Omen's match?". Egga put her hand away from Ratna's face.

" Where did you know him?". Ratna was astonished.

"He he he. Omen is my friend, more precisely his best friend Eggy. I know you're in a relationship with her and you're getting married next month". Egga exhaled her breath as it held tightness to her chest.

" Yahuuh.... I don't know what to do either. If it is the best for you, I want you to be with him and I will try to accept all of this freely, as long as you are happy... Hu hu hu".

Ratna drowned Egga's head into his arms.

"Hu hu hu sorry I Ga. Sorry me".

They also drowned in sadness and vent their longing during this passionate - gebu.

I don't want to let each other out of that grip. Want to stop time at that time and forget the sadness that happened even if only for a moment.

But this time for a moment they leave the sadness that happened and do not care what will happen next.

At that moment all they know is just enjoying their growing longing - so and so painful.

...

Like the night before - before, Ratna was pensive in her room while looking at the first graffiti made by Tara when she could write. He felt the graffiti while crying.

" Mama misses you so much Tara. I'm sorry Mama did this to you guys".

Then Ratna turned to look at the wedding ring owned by Tari given by Egga for her. He had opened the ring since he decided to accept Omen as his future companion and he put the ring into a red ring box and put it in his dresser drawer.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you that it wasn't because of the match that made me do this. It's just that I can't tell you the truth because it will definitely make you even sadder. I'm sorry Ga". She shrieked in her heart while holding her chest that felt tight.
