The Journey of Love Habibah..
Hospitalized

Ricky launched his motorbike with a stick in his chest, his heart hurt like it was scratched with a sharp razor. He's never felt anything like this before, and I don't know what he could feel. Whether because of what his wife had done or because of Habibah's departure, he probably felt guilty about Habibah and his parents. Thinking of all that made his head ache, like something was constantly hitting his head. His chest suddenly felt claustrophobic like something was squeezing him firmly. Until a fairly sharp bend, he could not control the pain that happened to the motor that was being driven it passed by a mini Cooper car. Either because of the pain he felt or indeed he was surprised from his long daydreams made him lose balance and nudge the mini Cooper's front tire. Then Ricky bounced and was unconscious. He never even knew who had helped him and taken him to the hospital.

Two days into Ricky's unconsciousness, Nelly is told that her husband has rushed off with Syafi'i and Ainun. As long as Ricky hasn't regained consciousness, Nelly continues to cry, but her eyes are swollen because she has been crying for a long time. In her husband's hand with both hands and unceasingly apologized to Ricky. In Susana like that, suddenly came a middle-aged woman with a man in a hurry to enter the room where Ricky was being treated.

" Oh God Ricky... How did he get to be like this, Rocky..?" exclaimed Karin's mother who saw her son in an unconscious state with an oxygen hose and an infusion hose attached to his hand. Rocky is Ricky's older brother who can only hug his mother without being able to say anything.

" He'll be fine, ma'am." That's all he can say to his mother.

Nelly who saw the arrival of her mother-in-law immediately got up from her seat and greeted her mother-in-law. After that Nelly just stood on the other side of the patient bed that was being used by Ricky.

After the twilight entrance time, Ricky finally opened both of his eyelids, he noticed around where he was lying. And he realized he was in the hospital. And he saw Nelly sitting next to him with her head lowered, in the corner of the room was Shafi'i, Ainun, her mother was also her brother Rocky.

" Mom. Rocky's brother." call him weak. Everything in the room turned in unison to the direction the voice came from.

" Ricky... You're sober, baby..?!" his mother ran over to her son and kissed Ricky in the face with tears in her eyes.

" mom..don't wash my face with mom's water.it's disgusting.." protested Ricky .

" Bas a bad boy." said his mother, pinching slowly on Ricky's upper arm.

" Mom..I am a patient..How can you treat a patient like this..?" sulk Ricky sulked.

" Well..well..now say, how could you crash like this?" ask mother. Nelly who saw her husband had been sober did not dare to make a sound, she could only see it. Ricky still did not greet him because he still could not neutralize the disappointment in his heart.

" Oh yeah Rick, Nur's mother called but her number is not active too? Does he have another number?" ask his mother suddenly.

" Maybe, ma'am." replied Ricky slowly.

" Maybe..? how come..?" ask her mother not to understand.

" Oh yeah maybe Mom.. Ricky doesn't know either." replied Ricky helplessly.

" How can you not know..?" his mother was not satisfied with his son's answer.

" I'm sorry, ma'am." That's the last word Ricky could say to his mother.

" Yes already.now the most important thing is your healing first, but remember..! you still owe me an explanation." Her mother then went out to find the doctor on duty at this time.

Nelly who witnessed how her mother-in-law was angry at Ricky because of Habibah, increasingly understood why her husband was very disappointed in her for having expelled Habibah indirectly.

Ricky closed his eyes when his mother came out. Rocky approached his sister and gently patted her hand.

" sook know.. I think I've never felt heartbroken."so Ricky still with his eyes closed.

" Hey. if you say that look at the person invited to talk dong. not very polite you are. I'm a ghost until you bring me those eyes..?!" rocky protests.because Ricky talks without staring at him.

" Here brother I want to rest first.so please don't bother me." he said no matter if his brother was very anxious with Ricky's behavior.

" It's true what your brother said, let him rest. Do not disturb him first, later if he is healed then you can disturb him as much as possible." said his mother who just re-entered the room.

" Sir..." Ricky nodded slowly at his mother. And Rocky can only laugh a little at Ricky's behavior that always makes him miss his beloved sister.

" The base is spoiled." said Rocky as he moved away from Ricky's side.

Nelly and Ainun who were sitting in the guest chair in the room were just silent. In that silence, Karin's mother's phone suddenly rang.

" Yes what's wrong?" ask Karin's mother as soon as she receives the call.

" Nothing? How could there not be? You didn't ask him where?" there was the tone of Karin's mother's voice that was surprised by something.

" Well.you just come back here.be careful on the road.." Karin's mother ended her call. Afterwards he approached where Nelly and Ainun were sitting.

" I want to ask you guys something. I heard that my son and my granddaughter are leaving the house, do you know that?" asked Karin's mother to her daughter-in-law and sister-in-law.

" What does Habibah mean?" ask Ainun carefully.

" Em. We know, but we know after three days he's gone." Ainun still talking. Nelly was terrified when she found out that her mother-in-law knew about Habibah leaving her house.

" Is there a problem with him?" ask Karin's mother again.

" Em. that's. emm.." Ainun could not continue his words. Because he didn't know what to say to his sister-in-law's mother-in-law.

" That means there's a problem, right..? If there is no problem, you can give me an explanation. Well, I'm just worried about their situation.

Karin's mother drowned with her daydreams, as did Nelly and Ainun who could not stop to think about the worst if until Karin's mother knew the real reason Habibah left.

After one week,. Ricky is allowed to go home with a mandatory record of control once every Sunday. Because Ricky had a mild concussion when the accident happened. So even though he was allowed to go home, Ricky was still not allowed to return to work as usual. Ricky is taken home to the Shafi'i house for outpatient treatment. Although Ricky's heart was heavy, he had no choice but to agree. Arriving at the house of Shafi'i, Karin's mother just sat on the porch of the house Syafi'i with eyes that can not be separated from the house that was once occupied by Habibah. The house is only one house away from the house of Shafi'i. But now the house has changed its inhabitants. Somehow he misses the cooking and cakes made by his adopted son. He sighed deeply to let go of the burden in his heart.
