When Mandala heard secretary Ridwan's words about the feeling of trauma and the attitude of the latter slightly changed. The mandala pondered so deeply that it was slightly touched to change its mind. The current trying word that was on his mind. Until he contacted a woman to invite him to meet at a cafe at 2 pm.
That woman is Ismalia. At that time Ismalia was lying down while reading her favorite novel. The sound of a cell phone in bed makes Ismalia pause reading the novel. Frowning in wonder the unknown number sent him a short message.
Mandalas
"Assynolajet. Can we meet tomorrow at 2pm at Cafe Barista. There's something important I want to talk to you about."
Ismalia
"Wa'alaikumussalam's chat. Sorry who is this?"
Mandalas
"This is my Mandala. Erika's Father. Can we meet tomorrow?"
Ismalia
"Ah yes Om, In Shaa Allah can Om."
After Ismalia said she agreed, there were no more replies from Mandala. Ismalia was increasingly made to wonder where Mandala had her mobile number and suddenly invited her to meet.
The Flashback
Before Mandala came home she was still in the office. Ridwan was still sitting holding the file occasionally glancing at Mandala also checking the file.
"Think about it, boss. It's not just for the good of Miss Erika but for you too."
"As if Miss Erika was married and had to follow the husband. And apologize in advance, the boss' parents are gone. Here what is needed is someone to take care of the boss later. Good stomach affairs and even other affairs. Boss doesn't have solitude."
"Therefore, I hope the boss will think about it more thoroughly. And I can't force all the decisions to be in the hands of the boss. I can only give advice and understanding to the boss. If there is anything wrong with what I said earlier I apologize profusely."
Ridwan also glanced at the watch in his hand and wanted to leave because time had shown hours of rest. As usual Ridwan will order a meal for her and Mandala.
"Enready entered the break. I beg the boss and order lunch for the boss. Then excuse me." said Ridwan straight out of the room.
After Ridwan spoke at length to him and left his room. Mandala had thought long and contacted Rita's mother. Requesting Ismalia's mobile number. At first Rita is confused by Mandala suddenly asking for Ismalia's mobile number.
Tut Tut tut
Mandalas
"Assalamualaikum, Buk."
Rita
"Va'alaikumussalam, Mandala. Finally you called Mom too. How are you going, when are you going home. Please don't be like this, son. I'm worried"
Mandalas
"Alhamdulillah healthy buk. I'm sorry I buk for now Mandala needs some alone time. In Shaa Allah when it is calm Mandala will go home. Oh yeah Mom, how are you?"
Rita
"Alhamdulillah is healthy too. Erika at that time there contact you why you did not pick up and the message you did not reply. Are you still mad at him?"
Mandalas
"Sorry buk. Mandala did not want to be disturbed first. And Mandala isn't angry with anyone just like I said it takes time alone. Oh yeah, I don't have Ismalia's cell phone number?"
Rita
"Immalia. What do you need to ask for the number?"
Mandalas
"It's important that I should talk to him."
Rita
"alright. There's a little later I'll send it to you."
Mandalas
"alright. Then the Mandala closes first because it has entered the break. Assalamualaikum."
Rita
"Yes, Wa'alaikumussalam."
Rita finally gives Ismalia's mobile number to Mandala. After entering, Mandala immediately save the number Ismalia and send a message to Ismalia to invite the meeting.
Flashback Off
...🌹🌹🌹...
In the morning Ismalia was ready to go to school with her sister. Mardian did not have time to deliver the news because he had to go to the market first. So it will be Ismalia who will take her sister to school on her bike.
After a few minutes, he brought his sister. He has arrived at school glimpsed watches are still twenty minutes away from the sound of the bell in class. Ismalia turned left right invisible to Erika's car. Maybe Erika was already in her thought class.
Ismalia directly traced the school corridor to her class. Once in class Ismalia did not find Erika in class. Tania and the others already in class were even sitting sweetly and joking. Ismalia was surprised that Erika never left too late.
Ismalia starts asking Tania, while Tania replies that she does not know why Erika did not enter. He finally contacted Erika but the call had no answer. Ismalia tried it once again but was not lifted either. Then he sent a short message in the WhatsApp application to Erika.
Ismalia who did not leave the class was just a dudu. Tania who took him to the cafeteria he refused. Ismalia continued to worry about Erika why she did not attend school. Just this time he did not give a reason why he did not go to school. Ismalia called Erika again. But still not in his lift either. He kept trying many times as before.
Ismalia also contacts Grandma Rita but is not taken up either. Not wanting to worry more, he finally decided to go to Erika's residence after school.
"Is he ill. Not as usual it was like this. Where are you Erika?" inner monologue Ismalia worried.
Teng teng teng
The sound of the school bell indicates it is time to go home. Ismalia before heading to Erika's residence for a moment thought. He will be home for a while to change clothes. He thought he would also meet Mandala at two in the afternoon at Cafe Barista. He Erika residence using an online object that he had previously ordered.
About twenty minutes later. Ismalia had arrived in front of Erika's residence. It looks lonely when viewed from outside the gate. He knocked on the gate when Mr. Sattam opened the door because he knew Ismalia well. Ismalia walked over and was immediately welcome to the main door knocking while greeting.
Tok tok tok tok
"Assalamualaik."
Without a word, Ismalia knocked back.
Tok tok tok tok
"Assalamualaik."
A voice approached and opened the main door.
"Eh...Non Ismalian. Let's go in the non." Bik Inah let in.
"Yes, Bik. Thank you." replied Ismalia.
"Please sit down, non. Bibik wants to make water for Non Is." Bik Inah wants to move.
Bik Inah's steps so stopped when Ismalia again asked again.
"Oh yeah, Bik. Erika where yes, was at school Erika did not enter. Is he sick Bik?" ask Ismalia.
"Yes, Non Is. Non Erika is sick now. Being treated in the hospital."
"What!" Ismalia.
"What pain and when did Erika get into the hospital? Why don't I know, Bik?" tanya bertila Ismalia.
"Non Erika has relapsed again. Last night Non Erika was taken to the hospital. Sorry Non for not having time to tell you about her being upset. Even Mr. Mandala just this morning was told by Mrs Rita." explained Bik Inah Long.
"Didn't eat, Bik. So that the ulcer returns again?" ask Ismalia who has been memorized with Erika.
"Yes, non. Non Erika lately rarely eat because of the continued thoughts about Mr. Mandala since the incident that night Non. Then please excuse me to go to the kitchen."
"Ah yes, Bik."
Bik Inah also headed to the kitchen to make water and snacks for Ismalia. Ismalia kept thinking until it made her unsettled. He constantly looks at his phone. Calling Grandma Rita back. The first call without response and then the second call then get a response from Grandma Rita.
"Hello. Assalamualaikum, Grandma."
"Wa'alaikumussalam, Nak Is. How are you doing, son?"
"Thank God be good, Grandma. Grandma how are you? Oh yeah is it true that Nek, Erika is sick and is now hospitalized?"
"Alhamdulillah good grandmother. Yes, Erika is now in the hospital her old disease relapses again. You come here." take Grandma Rita.
"Yes In Shaa Allah, Grandma. Ismalia's going there to cool down with Erika. Is is now at Erika's house. You're worried that Erika doesn't usually go to school."
"Yes. Grandma forgot to tell you. You see again, right at school even grandmother just ask permission from your homeroom teacher."
"If Is knows, which hospital is Erika in?" ask Ismalia.
"In the Harapan Mommy Hospital, son."
"Alright, Grandma. Ismalia will be there soon."
"OKAY. You be careful yeah. Assalamualaikum."
"Yes. Wa'alaikumussalam." replied Ismalia.
Ismalia approached Bik Inah who was making tea for her. Said that he could not linger because he had to go home right now. Appreciating the artificial Bik Inah, Ismalia sipped half tea water and also a snack and then say goodbye to Bik Inah. Ismalia again ordered a taxi online to get to Harapan Bunda Hospital faster.
About 30 minutes later a taxi driven by Ismalia arrived at Harapan Bunda Hospital. Ismalia went straight to the receptionist asking for the whereabouts of the patient's room named Erika Mandala Bramantio. The nurse takes Ismalia to the VIP room where Erika is being treated.
Arriving in front of the nurse's room, she did not forget to say thank you. Ismalia, who was at the door, knocked on the door and opened it, greeting her. Everyone inside turned towards Ismalia who had just come. In the Erika family only include Mandala, Bramantio, and Rita alone.
Ismalia shakes hands one by one inside. Erika who fell asleep had her eyes closed after taking the medicine given by the nurse. Rita's grandmother allowed her to sit on the sofa while talking. The mandala playing the phone only glanced briefly at them.
Their conversation ended long enough too. Grandma Rita and Bramantio who felt sleepy decided to sleep on a sofa that was long enough. Ismalia sat by Erika's bed holding her hand and stroking her sleeping head. The mandala who saw what Ismalia was doing kept only staring fixedly.
The mandala then moved from her seat on the sofa to Ismalia. Ismalia looked up to see someone approaching her was none other than Mandala.
"There's something I need to talk about, can you come out for a second?" ask Mandala.
Ismalia nodded her head and turned to Erika for a moment. Then began to move out following Mandala who had first come out of the room Erika's hospital. Mandala was sitting in a long waiting room. Ismalia sat down beside Mandala with her face down.
What would Mandala talk about to Ismalia?
Previously sorry only now updatenya because again not feeling well.
