Thaha
The Long Muqoddimah

the day passed quickly, today Elio and uncle Ale were allowed to go home, I got the news from Louis after the doctor's visit this morning

I haven't even met and haven't seen Uncle Ale

unlike Ale's uncle who had been discharged from the hospital, Elio refused to go home, even though he had been allowed to go home from the first day where he was taken to the hospital, which means no hospitalization is required

his injured forehead and knee are now dry, not bad enough indeed, no wonder he can still be jailing Louis and Leo

it's just that Elio always refused to be close to Nurse or the doctor, even if they came to check on me and not to check on Elio, maybe he was a little traumatized

and today also I can use one of my hands freely, although on the scar the shot is still quite painful if moved, but at least I'm no longer wrapped up like a mummy full of bandages

I glanced at Louis who had been busy receiving calls since then, while Elio was tailing beside him like he was stricken with a sudden sticky disease

since waking up his attitude began to be strange, although before Elio was closest to Louis, but never as sticky as this

Elio even refused to bathe even though the eyes of the day were almost to the top

I stared strangely at Elio's current behavior, he firmly grasped the fabric of Louis' trousers with his tiny hands, and following Louis's movement to nana and to the left took some files on the table and read them in a standing position

and Elio followed all those movements with his hands still clutching the fabric of Louis' trousers firmly, silently and without protest

I almost laughed as Louis sat down and as quickly as Elio climbed into his lap, his hands perfectly wrapped around Louis' neck, Elio even resting his head comfortably on Louis's shoulders, without making any noise and without interrupting Louis' phone calls

even he hung like a monkey boy when Louis stood back from his seat, I'm sure Elio would slide perfectly if Louis did not support his body swiftly

what happened to Elio.....?

that question has been going through my mind ever since

Louis approached and handed me his cell phone while his left hand was still faithfully holding Elio who had no intention of even looking at me

weirdo

what's the matter with Elio.....?

I stared confusedly at Louis who was still extending his hand and the phone was still there

"brother Abyan"

Louis told me

Astagfirullah haladzim, I forgot Abyan's brother who was probably still waiting for news from me after I had previously asked him for unreasonable help

I received the phone and started greeting my brother who would probably flood my ears with long lectures

while Louis again sat on the sofa with Elio who was still hanging like a monkey child did not want to be separated from his mother, but still let Louis back struggling with his files and tablets without a sound

while I'm here to pray that brother Abyan does not issue that style, he said, Because sometimes Abyan's sister is worried that her speech is a little longer than usual and I have to start giving a soft swipe to my earlobe so that she is a little patient

"Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarokatuh, brother"

I timidly started saying hello

"wa'alaikum salam warohmatullah wabarokatuh, Zu Alhamdulillah finally can also call Zu, Zu's phone is dead and has not been active until now, so I decided to call Louis"

hhhuuufffft

I heard a long breath there

I knew it wasn't over, so I decided to shut up first until Abyan finished with his worries

"Zu knew I was very worried about Zu's situation, after Zu suddenly called my sister and said to be invited, in Italy.....? continue after Zu no news.....? even brother will already book a ticket to go there, fortunately you can get the number Louis from Rama without making Rama and mother worried"

long is also his muqodimah this time

"sister already said that if you've talked to Louis Zu tell brother, instead of brother want to interfere, brother just fear Zu there's nothing there, brother, we have no relatives who can be asked for help if there is anything with Zu there, while Zu knows Louis only recently, you have not known and married, if Zu is missing how......? not bad brother to think with Louis, no, but Zu must remember our world today is not the same as when Islam reigns

while a Muslim has full assurance of their safety and honor, now life is like no price for Zu, Zu must remember that, murder, robbery, and murder, and other crimes will be very easy to meet today

do not be too innocent Zu, at least if you want to think plainly know the place dong Zu, Astagfirullah, Zu is in the country of people now if Zu ilang, there is no guarantee of going home....blah...blah....."

I even had to rub my ears many times to provide support for my withered bent ears

"eeemmm, sis, first Zu apologized for making you worry"

I carefully began to hope not to provoke the desire of Abyan's lecture which was always more excited when it came to things that disturbed his worries

"Zu doesn't mean to make you worry but how else, hp Zu is missing"

"ko' can.....? how can the story disappear all Zu.....?

"yes means it's not Rizki Zu kak"

patient

I did not lie with that, hp and my valuables were lost without rest, still fortunately my life also did not float

even though I was completely dishonest to Abyan how the process to that phone can be lost

hhhuuufffft

I heard a heavy breath there

I just hope that Louis hasn't leaked to Abyan about the calamity that befell me

"continue now how is Zu.....? it's quiet....?"

I'm sure if what I meant was my problem with Louis about my request

"already and it turns out it was just a misunderstanding, hehehe"

I tried to give my big smile even though I knew Abyan couldn't see me, I wasn't crazy enough to make a video call with my condition lying pretty on the hospital bed

I could have been taken by force!

"but it's been talked about, right with Louis.....?"

"already dong, and Alhamdulillaah everything is clear, it is clear, as clear as the water in the fish pond"

"still butek dong!, the pond man uda on the moss"

"hihihi, no brother Zu is serious, it's clear the problem"

"yes already then, brother wants to continue memorizing, do not forget if there is any brother in contact"

"ready commander"

"brother is not Zu's army, brother lecturer"

"ow, ok ok ok ok, ready ustadz"

"it's up to Zu, the important thing is that Zu is happy"

"Zu tutu ya kak, his rote spirit, Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarokatuh"

"wa'alaikum salam warohmatullah wabarokatuh, be careful there"

I laughed with the grace of Abyan, I never knew what it was like to have an older sister I could ask to confide in

but having Abyan's brother at least slightly lessens that desire

although Abyan can not be invited to shopping or treatment together

but with Abyan's brother I can go to those places without worrying because there will always be someone accompanying me and waiting for me, of course Abyan's brother will wait at the place to eat

whether it can be said to accompany or not....?
