Happy reading ....
The pitch-black night sky, combined with the cold wind that accompanied it. The desert air at night, still feels warm before dawn.
In silence, the voice echoed. The sound of a medical aid installed is heard slowly but feels piercing the soul.
"Dad ...." Meydina's voice shuddered, when she saw the large tall figure fluttering helplessly.
Meydina touched a pacemaker implanted in her father's chest. His heart was sliced knowing the condition of his father who was really weak. He kissed Salman's father's forehead gently, while holding back the tears that would fall soaked the forehead.
"I'm sorry, Mey. Not with my dad at the time. Dad must be feeling really sick. Mey's sorry, Dad." His shoulder with the palm that covered his mouth.
Meydina gasped, Salman's father moved his head even though it was very slowly.
"Yeah ...."
Meydina held her father's hand. He was confused, not knowing whether to open the breathing apparatus that covered part of his father's face. Because on the other hand, it's like there's something Salman's father wants to say.
"May ...." Salman's father's voice sounded very weak.
Meydina finally put her ear to her father's face. He did not dare to open the device.
"Dad rest yes. Mey, Brother Alvin, and Amiera are out guarding dad. Dad's not alone. Maliek and Rendy are also here. We all love dad. You have to be strong" Meydina said in a stifled voice.
"May ...."
Meydina nodded slowly.
"Dad wants to see your mother ...." He spoke in a soft, flattened voice.
It felt like crying so much to hear Salman's father say that. But as much as possible Meydina held only until her throat alone. Her chest feels tight. But it also has to be strong.
"A-dad misses ..." He said again and Meydina nodded slowly.
"After I'm healed, we'll go to Mom's grave. I need to heal, yes" Meydina said with a sad look.
Salman's father fell silent. Tears break at one end of her eyes. With a forced smile, Meydina wiped those tears.
Salman raised his hand very slowly. The exotic-faced man did not even have the strength to do so.
Meydina immediately grabbed that hand. He understood what his father wanted.
He put the back of the hand on his cheek. Meydina rubbed her cheek as if Salman's father was rubbing it gently.
Salman's father's eyes looked delighted. Meydina kissed the back of the hand over and over again.
"Mey dear dad. I need to heal" said Meydina, kissing her father's forehead again.

The speed of the car driven by Salim rotates very quickly on the freeway that is being passed. Riky's father looks focused on paying attention to the pace of his vehicle.
Salim looked at his wife. The woman sitting next to him looked agitated and also anxious.
This is beyond suspicion. As he and Widiya prepared to leave for the airport, the hospital called Widiya. Hesty's condition suddenly decreased, and is now being treated by doctors in the ICU room.
"Hello, Jeng. Where are you, son?" ask Widiya at the end of her phone.
"Ajeng's still at a friend's house, Auntie."
"Can you go to the hospital? Looks like your mama wants us to visit," said Widiya trying to cover up so Ajeng did not feel worried.
"Yes, we met there. Auntie same Om is also again on the road. Be careful, Jeng."
"Yes, Aunt."
Widiya closed her call. He then came back to contact someone but seemed hesitant.
"Why, Ma?"
"Riky called don't, Pa?"
"Later in the afternoon or evening. It must be in the office."
"Yes, yeah. Hope Hesty's okay."
"Where does he say?"
"She said at a friend's house. But how did you hear the same horn sound like that car? What's up with Ajeng, Pa? Like something's hidden from us."
"But he said he was going to the hospital?" Widiya.
"One at a time. Let's ask him after Hesty's business is done. It's a pity to ask at the wrong time. He might feel cornered."
"Yes, Pa."
Both of them also felt quite relieved after knowing the existence of Ajeng he would meet in the hospital.
While it was ....
In the car that Kamil was driving, Ajeng looked panicked. Her face was flushed red, holding back the urge to cry.
"Jeng, just let go. If you want to cry, cry. Do not be detained, your chest will hurt," Kamil said.
Ajeng did not respond to Kamil's remarks. But sobs began to sound.
How not to be surprised, Ajeng was with Kamil on the porch of the house, was joking and planned to book a train ticket got a call from Om Edo, his father's sister.
"Jeng, your mama called Om. After chatting, Om told me about you looking for your papa. Your mother seems surprised. From his voice he also sounded weak. Where's your mama, Jeng? Isn't he abroad?"
"Then what did you say, Om?"
"Not said anything. He also kept quiet."
After hearing this from Edo, Ajeng quickly called his mother.
Once, no one answered.
Twice, no one answered his call either.
The teacher started to worry. He knew very well, the doctor suggested his mother should feel calm and also happy. Her mother must be worried about her.
Try that call again. After the ninth call, there was an answer.
"Susters? Where is mama? How's the nagging Sister?"
"The patient is in the ICU. Miss better come here now. The hospital has contacted Mrs Widiya."
Instantly Ajeng felt weak. Luckily Kamil found out, volunteered to drive him to a hospital outside the city.
