The Journey of Love Habibah..

The Journey of Love Habibah..
My pal..


After 10 hours of travel, they finally arrived at their destination. The place is located a little far from the city center, a place that is quite far from the noise and bustle of the capital city of Borneo. A place that is still very beautiful, far from pollution and very suitable for treating patients like Habibah it.


Ting tong's..! Ting tong's...!


Several times the bell rang loudly in silence that night making anyone would wake up from his sleep. Shortly afterwards someone opened the door with a face that was withered from holding back a cough.


Chequek...!


The door opened, and a woman dressed in a long negligee and wearing a medium-sized headscarf turned her head to see who was interrupting her break in the middle of the night.


" Assalamu'alaykum.." said Zelly, Sumarni's mother and Rukmana sir almost simultaneously.


" Wa'alaykumussalam warrahmatullah wabarokaatuh.." the woman tried to recognize who was in front of him.


" Sorry yes Mia, I'm bothering you in the middle of the night. I had to bother you in the middle of the night because I had to get them here right away." Zelly took a step forward to face the host.


" You're Zell? I guess tomorrow you just came, why does it have to be midnight like this anyway..? You s..!


Ayo masuk dulu, kita bicarakan didalam aja. Masa mau ngobrol depan pintu begini, ayo masuk dulu ." ajak Mia.


Mia is a friend of Zelly who is actually a village with Zelly in Sumatra. They are friendly since sitting in High School and they also studied at the same university just different majors. And when applying for a job application they are separate, because it is in accordance with the department. Mia entered a private hospital that is quite famous in Samarinda and Zelly got a task in one of the subsidiaries of the palm oil company in one of the sub-districts in East Kalimantan.


Although they did not meet for a long time, the communication between them was quite well established. Mia has a family and has 2 children who are already quite big. The first one has sat in the final grade High School and the 2nd one sits in the middle of Junior High School Class VIII Her husband himself is a heart specialist who served in the same hospital as Mia.


" Come, please sit down. I'll grab some water." Mia invited her guests to sit down. While he himself went to the kitchen to get some drinking water and some snacks, then served it at the guest table.


" Where is your house assistant, how do you do everything yourself?" asked Zelly who was surprised to see his best friend was providing their own drinking water for those who should be done by his household assistant.


" About dong Zelly, when would I wake up my housekeeper is being pumped this way just to prepare drinking water for you? Crazy aja.. I'm not that cruel to know..!" mia's protest on Zelly.


" Goddess.. Well, then, I'd like to talk about our arrival here. Like I talked to you on the phone yesterday. This is my friend more precisely my former employee was Nur Habibah, and this is his parents Mr. Rukmana and Sumarni's mother. I just want you to help them to recover him as they are with the best method you have. He still has children he has to take care of, if it's like this how can he take care of his children? I believe with the method you have he will be able to recover quickly."


" I'll try to do everything in my power. But I can't do it alone, I need the help of the people closest to him to help resurrect all his feelings that are currently asleep. And that's very important, because all we have to wake up is his soul not his body."


" all right... I trust you with everything.. Can you let them rest first? They were exhausted by the long journey. I'll be back here tomorrow."


" Why don't you just stay here, Zell? It's very late, not late anymore. Tomorrow you go, you must be tired of driving that long, right? Come on, I can't accept your refusal right now. You think of other people but you can't forget yourself, right?" Mia raises her chin while blinking one of her eyes at Zelly. And that's enough to make Zelly misbehave.


" all right... You take them to his room first, I'll take things from the car first." Zelly leaves Mia by rubbing her nape. Mia who saw Zelly's blushing face could only smile.


How can you fall for a woman who actually loves her husband so much that you still care about him?


What madness has happened to you? Is that how much love you have for her? Until there is no place for anyone else in your heart.


Is this what is called blind love? Love has blinded common sense and logic in life. Even because of your love, you can throw all hope away from your parents.


Mia took Habibah and her parents to the 2nd floor, Habibah's room and her parents' second room were separated. Habibah is in the room next to Mia's first child's room, while her parents are in the room next to the guest room that will be occupied by Zelly.


Zelly brought in all the luggage for needs during Habibah's treatment. As directed by Mia.


" Here I help you carry." Mia offered help.


" Don't, you just rest. I can do it myself." Zelly refused.


" Come on... How can I rest if my guest is still this busy? Here, let us both rest." Mia forcibly snatched the suitcase and one tote bag that was in Zelly's hands. Zelly inevitably had to give up because he knew exactly how the character of his best friend was. They stepped together towards the 2nd floor of Mia's house.


" So she's that woman? " ask Mia suddenly. Somehow he wanted to ask Zelly even though he already knew the answer.


" What?"


" Don't pretend to be Zell's fool, is she the woman who has kept you single to this day?"


Zelly stopped her steps, and took a deep breath and then threw out a heavy yes.


" Why?" mia asked so aware of Zelly's reaction.


" It wasn't him who made me this way, but I chose this myself. I don't know why either, but I really can't fight my heart. Maybe I look really stupid and crazy. But I don't know why I could make a decision like this. She wasn't my first love, but I never felt in love like this. I've tried so many times to get away from this feeling, but somehow I can't. Twice he married in front of me, twice I was heartbroken by it. But twice also I saw him slumped and this time the worst. And I can't not care about him. We haven't been close since I've known him until now. Our closeness used to be only as superiors and subordinates, and even that was not like between superiors and subordinates in general. We fight and argue every day. Like there's no match between us. But unknowingly I had bonded to her, many times I denied that I had fallen for her. But damn, the more I deny I'm the more attached to him. And worse yet, only I felt that way, while he? He never felt the slightest feeling I had. Tell me, what should I do Mia? Even though I know it's impossible, but I still can't take this bond of my heart away from her. He really meant something to me." Zelly was sitting on one of the stairs with a grim face. Mia really can't say anything. He did not expect that his best friend could love a woman like this.


" If the dead were me, maybe it'd be better." complained Zelly weakly.


" Zelly, don't talk. If you say that, you are not grateful for the life God has given you. I don't think even the woman you love won't want to hear something like this. I may not understand what makes you love her so much, but I can make sure she doesn't want you to be like this. I believe that the woman who can make you like this is an unusual woman. Because only a great woman can conquer a man like you. I didn't even expect that woman would not just conquer you but rule your life without you noticing. But what I want to ask is, until when are you going to be like this? Poor your parents Zell. They really hope that you get married quickly and have children. Your age is no longer young, your peers already have children who will soon be married. While you? Never mind getting married, being close to a woman is not there. I really can't imagine how your parents are feeling right now."


" I don't know Mia either, but all I know now is that I want her to recover and that's enough for me." Zelly said it confidently, and it was quite a shock for Mia. He really did not expect that the man who was notoriously indifferent and cold to this woman could be like that now.


Man can change at any time, and he is the most real proof now.
