Reaching the Moon
Chapter 45

...Duhai The Owner Misses, say my regards to him who knows where. Help me dampen this burning longing to keep it in line. Really, I don't want to miss ruling me when he who is a medicine misses not here....

...Duhai The Owner Longs, if only he who I miss is still in this world, meet us in good condition. He's my priest, he's my leader. His loss has ruined me. But keep my heart with You, for without You my life is lost....

...(.(.Months)...

___________________________________________

Three months have passed, but the sense of loss of the figure of the husband and protective figure still makes the Moon slumped. After learning that Nizam is missing, the woman is more silent and less talkative.

Moon chose to lock herself in a room after returning from the hospital. Eat only when Mak Nira forces him to eat. She is also reluctant to meet anyone, including her husband's family. It felt like he just wanted to spend his time alone without any interference from anyone.

Only the clothes of the husband that he always hugged every sleep and when the longing hit. Rows of text messages are also always sent to Nizam number, although he realized the husband will not read it, let alone reply because the man's phone could have been damaged in the explosion.

To Husband 🩷:

⁇ ️ Where are you?

⁇ ️How are you?

⁇ ️ Do you still remember me?

⁇ ️Behold, I am here still waiting for you.

⁇ ️If you're alive, please go home.

Almost every day he sends a message to his husband's number. At least that way he can take out everything stored in his heart because it has no place to share.

The Moon felt enough to stay in the room. This time she wanted to find her husband. As long as there is no news of his death, the Moon will continue to search.

The moon walked down the road carrying a bag of so many papers that contained a photo of the husband complete with description of the characteristics. Every time he met someone, he would give him a piece of paper.

"Please contact me if you see the person in this paper."

That is the word he always said every time he gave the paper to people. Not only that, the leaflet he also stick in several places, hoping that his efforts can bear fruit.

The tired moon went a long way, plus the darkening day finally decided to stop in front of the hospital gate. There he just sat down to spend his time observing the faces of everyone who came. Perhaps she could find her husband among them.

Is God really rebuking me for unwittingly hoping and depending on other than Him?

Meanwhile on the other hand, a middle-aged woman in a doctor's suit who was about to for dinner accidentally saw the Moon from afar. His gaze instantly changed. For a long time he had not seen the young woman, wanting to feel like he approached the son-in-law and hugged her, but he realized the son-in-law only wanted to be alone.

Khaira is grateful, the frightening incident plus the disappearance of Nizam does not make Moon depressed, considering the woman has a history of psychic disorders. Even so, he always asked Mak Nira to monitor him 24 hours.

Still silent in the daydream, the middle-aged woman's eyes immediately rounded her eyes when she saw that there were several men monitoring the Moon not far from where the woman was sitting.

Khaira quickly walked over to her daughter-in-law when she saw the men walking over. With a quick movement, he pulled the Moon into the hospital courtyard.

"Mother?" say the Moon slowly.

"Good month, Mother. The moon just came home looking for Mas Nizam," the woman replied in a weak voice.

Khaira immediately took off her embrace and looked at the Moon wistfully. "You don't have to do that, honey. I've sent all her confidants to look for Nizam. You better take a break, keep your psyche so that when Nizam comes, there are you who welcome him lovingly."

The moon bowed with misty eyes looking at the paper in the still-much bag. His breathing began to be irregular, his shoulders going up and down resisting the turmoil in his chest that again wanted to break out.

Khaira hugged her daughter-in-law again with affection. "Don't be held back, if you want to cry, just cry for your heart to be relieved."

Khaira said that with a trembling voice. He could feel the Moon's body trembling even more, until a sobbing managed to escape from the daughter-in-law's mouth.

"Mother, Mas Nizam is fine, right? He must be home, right? Please tell Mas Nizam that if I am healed, he will not have to bother taking care of his wife if he returns" Moon said in a disjointed voice.

Khaira's tears flowed upon hearing the words of the Moon. He could only nod slowly in response without making a sound. The two of them dissolved into tears that night, releasing any sense of tightness they had been trying to suppress for the past few months.

Elsewhere, Aura was busy treating crash patients in the ER. One by one the victims of the accident he handled with the nurses until everything was completed given emergency action.

After finishing everything, Aura said she was about to go to her room. However, when he came out of the ER room, he accidentally hit a man walking with the help of crutches on his arm.

"Astaghfirullah, sorry, Mas. I didn't mean it" Aura said and immediately helped the man stand up.

"Is it okay?" ask Aura. However, instead of answering, the man was silent while looking at him in astonishment.

"Mass?" Aura repeated her call.

"Astaghfirullah, sorry Doctor, I was so unfocused earlier," the man replied as he scratched his non-itchy head.

Aura only smiled faintly then immediately left the man after saying goodbye.

"O Allah, forgive this solemn servant, if You please, may the servant ask that he be cut off from the soul mate of the servant?" said the man with a smile looking at Aura's back that was getting further away.

...

Aura walked into her room. He locked the door and sat down in a chair. From inside the bag, he pulled out a laptop and opened it. CCTV footage from a room now shows a person lying unconscious there.

While looking at the video, his hand moved to grab his phone and press a name there.

"Hello, Ben. How is it going today? aura asked without turning her gaze away from the laptop.

"Hello, Doc. It's still the same thing as .., wait a minute ...." The man's voice behind the phone was silent for a moment, "Doctor, there's just been electrical activity from his brain drawn from this EEG."

"really? Fine, I'll be there soon," Aura said excitedly.
