Love Pellets
17. Returnees

I have been at my parents' house for 3 days, I am very happy. And dony picked me up again. I'm still in the room. But I sayup-sayup dony talking to my dad.

"Please ask permission, I love my father, Nia. "

"Oh yeah. Mmmm ... But Dony knew it too. If the father or mother never follow the affairs of the children's feelings, " said my father slowly.

"But, the tip of a taste is definitely going to get married. Naahh according to father's belief. Parents should be with people who share the same beliefs. It's compulsory! " strictly father.

"Except you .. "and the father was silent.

"Good father, I may be steady again. At least you know how I feel about Nia. "

"Oh yes, thank you son Dony. Hope you can find Hidayah, son. " Dad patted dony's shoulder.

I rushed out, dony and I said goodbye and shook hands.

When dony shook hands with dad, I sent him a message to keep me at work.

...****************...

Arriving at the rented house, Dony went straight home. There is not much we talk about nor does it discuss about the clarity of this relationship. And I dare not bring it up either. Especially his beliefs.

If indeed he wants to convert, let it be from the call of his own heart. Not because of me, especially because of coercion.

Because of the long journey. My night felt so short, I was so good in my sleep.

...****************...

Days passed, thankfully the disturbances due to the witchcraft and pellets were not too often. Maybe because of that, I was insensitive at first. Now very sensitive to things that smell mystical.

Today it works as usual. I met Doctor Dony and joked. I no longer ask about the clarity of the status of our relationship. It's like dating, but there's no future.

I called my mother. Tell me to go home soon. I hurried to ask permission, and went home by public transport. Without telling Dony. Because mom's phone is such an important thing, but it doesn't say what it means to go home. I'm afraid it's about my parents' health.

Arriving home.

" Asalamualaikum.! "

I knocked on the door of the house that was closed.

"Ma ..., Bah ...! "

There is no law at all. My phone wasn't picked up either. What is this, my heart is raging. I try to get to the neighbors.

"Assalamualaikum ma'am, mama's at home, isn't there? " ask me to him.

"Oiya, Nia, you've come. Your mother went to the hospital. Your father's sick, Nia. "

Like being struck by lightning in a hole, my feet felt unsteady on the earth again. It was my hunch right.

"Trus to which Hospital is ma'am?! " I'm panicking.

"Kiddo General Hospital.!"

"Thank you ma'am. "

I also went straight away with my big bag to the taxi base which was not far from my house. I went with ojek.

Arriving at the hospital, I also searched the ER. It turns out my dad has entered the room. I also headed to the room.

"Tock. Geck "

I slid the door to the hospital room where my father was sick. Then I walked in, looking at my mother and sister with panicked, anxious and tired faces.

I put my bag down. And I went to the ward where my father lay. I looked at him, apparently he was still unconscious. I hugged my mother. Then I heard my mother's explanation.

It turned out that my father fell suddenly behind the house, and he had a stroke. I try to strengthen my heart not to cry. If my tears come down, then who will strengthen my mother. I gave my mother peace. That this will heal if handled quickly, there is a golden time that should not be missed.

...****************...

I've been taking care of my dad for 1 week, he's been home. He is still in recovery. Physiotherapy, and using traditional massage services. All the way in doing, my nursing science sometimes does not have the power to tell for medical healing. As a result, rather than arguing with a large family that is not finished, both will be done. Medical or traditional medicine. We do it in turn with the hope of healing.

"You slept Nia? " while unveiling the mosquito net curtain.

"No, why ma? " i shifted my body to lie down so that my mother could lie down beside me.

Then mom lay down. Mother took a long breath.

"Look, 1 day before your dad got sick. Actually it's mom's friend's family. Mila's mother proposed to you for her son. She's been working, PNS in KUA, "lit mom.

"Then I was so happy, your father would clean the yard and back before you came. And tell you. But it turns out this is what happened. "

"Do you want to accept it? For Father! " please mother to me.

I just fell silent. Between confusion, sadness and surprise.

"Tomorrow he comes, well the point is first introduction. Name Hermansyah. Herman, " said my mother.

"Meet him tomorrow. "

"Express Ma. " I turned around too. I wiped away my tears that were dripping.

...****************...

It was a sunny Sunday morning, but my heart was gray.

Herman came to see me.

I came out of the living room, I saw a man in his 30s.

He smiled at me seeing my arrival. I sat facing him. I was confused to start the conversation, so I just fell silent.

"Let's Herman, while in his tea, I stay first ya into. " My mother greeted him and with a smile and passed away towards the kitchen.

" Come in". while lifting a cup and drinking it.

"Emmm ... Nia, meet me Hermansyah, call Herman. " He stretched out his hand to shake my hand.

"Yes, Niar Damayanti." I shook his hand.

" Emm .... " I am confused to speak.

" I'm your class Nia, Forgot ya. " with her smile.

I was surprised, and immediately looked at him trying to remember.

"Sister Herman, the bald Herman, the fat one!,

uupss. " I try to guess and remember.

" Yes, it's me! Hahaha !" He laughed off.

Finally, the atmosphere melted in the living room.

I forgot, she is my future husband. He said he has loved me for a long time. He works at KUA in my hometown village.

Apparently, in the room next to my mother noticed us with tears in her eyes.

"Sister Herman, I call you Kaka, yes, "Talk to him. And he also agreed.

" I don't think we're - "My words are cut off.

"Give me a chance, we'll get to know each other for 3 days. Hows it? " he said to me.

"After 3 days, I will accept your decision. Whatever it is "he insisted again on me.

After I thought, I agreed. Where can I make a decision without giving a chance. Too hearty!
