The Charm of The Twins
153 Former
Gede had just delivered Qiya to the Cita residence. He said goodbye to Cita's father who seemed to be taking care of his bonsai. He will return to pick up his wife after meeting with Mrs Ratih. He was headed to a private hospital. Before that, he asked Bram for permission. If he intends to move Hilman for the recovery process of his father's brother.
Bram agreed. For him, Gede's decision was a good thing. He doesn't mind. Although Bram used to be upset with Hilman. But after knowing the real thing between Mr. Rendra and Gede. His daughter-in-law deserves more heartache. But Gede is capable of great soul. Capable of forgiveness. Why older people should remember the past story.
Arrive at the hospital. Gede knocked on Hilman's room door. The voice of Mrs Ratih let her in. Hilman was leaning on her sickly bed. He looks like he's wearing a knit hat. Because of his bald head. Skinny face, sunken eyes. Hilman's good looks almost disappeared with the process before yesterday's spinal cord transplant and his recovery.
The two men looked at each other. This is Gede's third visit to Hilman. Still without Qiya. Gede deliberately never took his wife. He didn't want to hurt Hilman. He can taste, if he becomes Hilman. Of course, the sadness will be more pronounced in the heart of a man who almost married the girl he likes.
"This is a gift from Qiya Bu. I'm sorry that Qiya has not been able to come. Just happened to be willing to come here. His friend seems to have some important business." Gede Say.
Bu Ratih invited Gede to sit in a stainless chair.
"How are you Man?" Tanya Gede's.
"Thank God, better than yesterday." Hilman.
Gede was still weighing whether he should talk about his help to Hilman and his mother. But he finally only told if he intended Gede transferred to a hospital not far from his residence. Though Gede reasoned so that he could free all costs Hilman.
"Lookin Man. I feel sorry for Mom. How about tomorrow you move to the Prosperous hospital. Closer than my mother's house. Poor Mommy has to go back and forth." Gede said carefully.
Hilman turned to his mother. But both lips of Mrs Ratih felt mute. He no longer has a home in the area. But he couldn't have told Hilman.
"Serah Mother. I'm a fart." Hilman said slowly. He is self-conscious. For months she has been bothering her mother.
Mrs Ratih also gave up.
"Here it is, it has already been." Said Mrs Ratih.
"Can we talk to you for a minute, ma'am?" Tanya Gede's.
But Mr. Ratih nodded. Gede patted Hilman's shoulder. And one nod.
"I'll stay a while, man." Gede Say.
He and Mrs Ratih spoke in the hospital corridor.
"Mom, I know what happened. Please. let me keep a good relationship with mom and Hilman." Gede Say.
"What a noble heart you Gede .." said Bu Ratih while rubbing Gede's shoulder.
With some consideration, Ibu Ratih finally received Gede's application. Hilman will be transferred to a new hospital. And he'll live in an apartment not far from the hospital.
"Please ma'am, don't hesitate. Mother must not forget. Me and Hilman one father." Gede Say.
Ratih's mother is crying. He felt hurt for Gede. When Qiya's husband did not want to donate his spinal cord.
Gede already takes care of the administration for Hilman. As he was about to pick up Qiya. Arriving at a road, Gede saw the usual car in Arumi's drive stop by the side of the road. Gede pulled his car over. He got down and asked the driver who used to drive the Bram family out.
"What's up, brother?" Ask Gede to Arumi.
Ammar's wife looked over. He was still glued. He is unable to answer. Gede asked back.
"What's up, brother? His car?" Ask Gede again. Arumi just wanted to answer. But one pull on the bag on his waist was pulled by someone.
"Sreeett."
"Aargdh.... " Say Arumi in pain. Fresh Deraaah flowed from his hand which was hit by a knife scratches the man who tried to carry away Arumi sling bag.
Arumi pulled one arm of the man swiftly. But the man who tried to run pulled Niqab Arumi.
Arumi reflexively covered her face. He leaned towards both knees. Gede who was chasing the man actually got a shot on his chest. But one hand that still pulled the bag made him receive back the sabetage on his arm.
"Aaawwwhhh.." groaned Gede.
"Astaghfirullah's.... Gege...!"'s....!" Shouted Arumi.
Gede turned to the woman who became his sister-in-law. ',Gege's'. Dear call from Mayang for him.
Without them knowing. They're looking at each other. Gede quickly threw away his sight. Arumi covered her face with her sleeves.
"Darling.... He's Mayang..."
"Astaghfirullah's....." Arumi was worried.
