The Bridesmaid
Forty One
Ningsih and Wita decided to cook together at Wita's house after completing the vent session earlier. It just so happens that Wita's parents are no longer at home, said Wita they were visiting a child wedding event from his papa colleagues. Hearing the word Marriage somehow Ningsih immediately remembered the wedding a few weeks ago.
When the cool stirred vegetables, Ningsih's phone vibrated indicating there was an incoming call. He had Wita replace his activities and raised an incoming call that turned out to be from his mother.
"Asalaamu'alaikum Ma's. What's up?" ask Ningsih. The reason is, this is the first time his mother contacted him after the wedding.
"Wa'alaikumsalaam, baby. Where are you?" Ningsih furrowed her baffled brows at the agitated tone in her Mama's question.
"at Wita's house, Ma. What's up?"
"Juna, Si! Juna accident! Mama was told by her secretary, so ask you if you are here or not. Said you were contacted instead of picking up the call" Ningsih was surprised to hear Mama's words. His body instantly trembled, his brain filled with fears that would be possible. Juna accident! Must be because that guy had a lot of thoughts. And everything Juna thought, obviously Ningsih was the cause. She....caused her Husband an accident!
His guilt grew because he ignored the incoming call because he was cool to tell Wita.
Wita who saw the change in the look of Ningsih's face, plus her body that looks trembling as if she was scared, finally chose to turn off the stove and approach her best friend.
"They? what's up?" ask Wita curious.
"Sir Juna, Wi! Juna Ka!" racau Ningsih was not clear, making Wita pull him into an embrace.
"Tenin yourself Si! slow story, sister Juna why?" Ningsih was crying even more. Seeing Ningsih who never answered her question, Wita took the phone that was still held by her best friend. Turns out the phone is still connected, making Wita choose to ask the caller.
"Hello, Auntie! What's wrong with Juna?" Ask Wita.
Wita was surprised, it was fitting that Ningsih was immediately hysterical like this. Wita concluded that her best friend already had a taste for Juna. But unfortunately, when going to try to improve their relationship, even the news of Juna's accident that he got first.
Wita was still chatting with Ana-Mama Ningsih, but all of their talk was no longer captured by Ningsih's hearing. He still faithfully hugged Wita, but his eyes now felt empty.
"Yes Aunty, Wita is nenangin Ningsih now! yes, maybe surprised just now" said Wita.
"Yes, please accompany Ningsih to the Hospital. Assalaamu'alaikum"
"Wa'alaikumsalaam" Wita answered while disconnecting the phone.
He stroked the back of Ningsih who was still in his arms. "Udah, okay!? Now we go to the hospital" he said calmly.
Ningsih did not answer, but nodded to Wita's words. Wita hurriedly took the keys of her motorbike, then both drove to the Hospital whose address Wita had gotten from Ana earlier.
On the road, Wita repeatedly reminded Ningsih to hold on. Because from then on the girl just daydreamed with an empty look. Wita did not know what made Ningsih like this, but she understood a little that she felt guilty.
"Si, what's the handle? don't daydream, how do you fall? Relax yourself, okay? I'm sure Kak Juna won't do anything" Ningsih just sighed violently, then hugged Wita's waist. Wita shook her head at Ningsih's behavior. Wita was sure, so surprised Ningsih did not hear until finished what her mother said earlier.
Sorry, old! Work has taken a lot of time lately! Kadi please understand well, if I long up.
