Waiting for the Love of the Country
S2 | Meet Uncle

Already this week, Elmira keeps going back and forth to the Hospital. Fahri's father is still getting treatment, because he just had a ring installation operation. His favorite Om Chandra is still in a coma. Elmira had just returned home from her place of work, this time she was always escorted by some bodyguards deliberately sent by Uncle Syauqi. And Elmira is no longer resisting like she used to be.

Before going to the nursery, Elmira first bought some food for her mother.

"Assalamu'alakum" Elmira said as she entered her father's nursery.

"Dear Walaikumsalam, what did you bring?" ask Fahri's father.

"It's fried chicken from Lesehan Mas Bewok, Dad. Mother Dira has not had dinner yet, right? So I buy you my favorite fried chicken, Brother," said Elmira while preparing food. Indira was so tempted by sambal which became one of his favorite menus.

"This is Dira's favorite too, brother!" said Indira while picking fried tofu.

"Walphaahh.. Very fragrant! Mother becomes more and more laper," said Mother Gisya who just finished praying isya.

"Goodbye Mother, Adek Diraku dear," said Elmira.

While Mother and Indira were eating, Elmira helped the father to take medicine.

"Now you have to take the medicine! Let's take it home" said Elmira.

"Bosen's father is here, brother. Can you ask the chatty doctor to give me my return letter?" fahri's father whined to his eldest daughter.

"Prof. Kiki, Dad! He's the best doctor, chatty is also for the good of Dad," said Elmira made Fahri sulk like a child.

Fahri's father was very upset, because he also wanted to taste the food that Elmira brought.

"Look, Mother if you eat makes people drool!" upset Father Fahri.

"Great son of Daddy! Mommy mah new again da ngerasain fried chicken as delicious as this. You eat there often, right?" ask Mother Gisya.

"A lot, Bun. In the past Bang Mirda who often ajakin Sister ate there, it turns out that Lesehan stalls subscription to Bang Mirda first. Sampe knows he's Bun as the owner, there continues to be live music as well as Bun. Rich of street children, the place is fun!" elmira said enthusiastically telling with a beautiful smile on her face.

"It turns out that it's true, Mirda is able to make my daughter happy, even their nickname is different behind me," Father Fahri's inner.

Mother Gisya smiled happily, when she saw the twinkle of love in the eyes of Elmira.

"When ajakin Dira eats there, brother! Like yummy!" indira.

"Byeah, then when Bang Ain comes home on vacation we eat together there, yes! You must like Dek, right you sing as well right? Beuh is fun! Bang Mirda never misses a good place!" praise Elmira without her noticing.

"Mm, I miss Om Mirda?" said Indira innocently.

The deg!

Elmira again remembered, if the current Mirda is no longer always beside her.

"Have you finished eating? Temenin Brother look at Om Chandra yes," pinta Elmira.

"Sister, Dira wash your hands first!" indira hurried to wash her hands.

"Sister, are you okay?" ask Mother Gisya when she sees her daughter daydreaming.

"I'm okay, Bun. Don't worry," said Elmira then moved out. "So don't want to look at Om Chandra first, all you love dinner for Biang,"

Indira and Elmira are in Om Chandra's nursery. Until now he is still in a coma, faithfully Biang Mira always accompany him.

"Biang, eat first! Rara bring food for Biang, now Biang must eat a lot. Let you guys always be healthy" said Elmira stroking Biang Mira's shoulder.

"Thank you, Rara. Perfumed... Bli Chandra would have liked it," said Biang sambi staring at her husband who was still unconscious.

"Om Chandra will wake up soon, Biang. Now eat a lot! Rara came out for a while, Dira Temenin Biang ya!" elmira said and walked out.

Down the hallway of the Hospital, Elmira kept walking. Until she sat down, Elmira hid her face between her knees. Elmira hugged her knees and shed all tears of longing and pain in her heart.

"I miss you, Bang Mirda. By Allah I am tormented, even now I owe Om Chandra my debt. I should how? I can't hurt Biang Mira, even more so right now........."

Elmira was speechless, only tears represented everything.

"What is Neng Rara doing here?" bang Ogem asked, the bodyguard who guarded it.

"Astaghfirulloh, Bang Ogem!" annoyed Elmira who gasped in shock.

"Hehehe was suspected to be tuyul huh, Neng! After Bang Ogem tea worried, could anyone nyulik again Neng Rara kumahaa sok?" said the man with the head of the plontos.

"O Allah, do not worry about Bang Ogem!" elmira then stood up. "Don't tell anyone if I cry, Bang Ogem, '" said Elmira.

"Ready atuh Neng implemented!" suhut Bang Ogem's.

Because it was late at night, Elmira invited Indira to come home with her. Because tomorrow he gets his holiday.

"Dad, Brother permission with Dad. Tomorrow Brother is called to the Police, he said Uncle Kandung Kakat want to talk," said Elmira asked permission from the father.

"Dad allow you to be in full escort, all for the good of Brother. Sorry Dad," said Father Fahri bowing his head.

"InshaAllah Brother escorted Bang Ogem, Uncle Uqi the same Om Hagum. So you don't worry, yeah, now I have to rest to get well,"

Last night Elmira could not sleep, she opened her room balcony. He closed his eyes and inhaled a deep breath of air.

"I love you, Elmira. But I just kept quiet, looking unconcerned. In your heart, always pray for the best for you. Praying is the most secret way of loving. Watching you silently, praying for you every day and loving you in secret. That's all I can do, now happy Elmira. Don't let tears of sorrow fall from your beautiful eyes, take good care of yourself. I gotta go,"

Those words were always ringing in Elmira's memory, she hugged herself in the silence of the night. Elmira misses Mirda.

"I can't Bang, these tears always just fall when I remember you. What are you doing right now, Bang? Do you miss me too?" lirih Elmira's.

"MashaAllah, aya angel descending from Heaven, meuni geulis pisan!" praise Bang Ogem.

"Bang Ogem can, or replace Rara yes compared to Ceu Esih?" elmira Goda.

"Oh no ferguso! Ceu Esih mah tuh tetep no 1 in Bang Ogem's heart, although butek rada saeutik oge Neng!" answer Bang Ogem.

"Awas loh heard by Ceu Esih! Not open the door!" ledek Elmira's.

"Yes atuh Neng Rara weh don't let the bucket leak his mouth!" bang Ogem said lethargic.

"Father on.... Hayuk's leaving!" take Elmira and walk to her car.

Arriving at the West Java Police, Elmira is greeted by Uncle Syauqi and a lawyer who will handle the case that befell Elmira.

"Sir, his name is Arvi Faza Fadillah, SH. He will accompany Brother to face this case. And this is Elmira Ayudia Syafa, my beloved niece," said Uncle Syauqi.

"Please help Mr. Faza" Elmira said, shaking his hand.

"Call Faza, I don't think we're that far away" Faza told Elmira.

"It's not polite, I call Mas Faza!" elmira said that felt bad.

"May, how good it is," replied Faza smiling.

Elmira sat down with a slightly trembling body, to be honest she still clearly remembered the events of that night.

Chequelek

The sound of the door opening made Elmira look down on her face.

"Hey my dear niece, apparently you're still alive!" said Uncle Grigori.

"What do you really want?" elmira asked straight to the point.

"I just want your father's entire estate! That's all! Only with you dead or you willingly sign it! But you dragged me into the bars!!" furious Uncle Grigori.

"Get it! I don't need any treasure from Papa! Take it! But please stop hurting me and the people around me!" lirih Elmira held back her tears.

Uncle Grigori laughed out loud when he heard Elmira's words.

"Listen Quera! If you're not the cause, I could've gotten it a long time ago!" furious Uncle Grigori wanted to strangle Elmira but luckily Faza held her back.

"Isn't this Uncle my real uncle? Why isn't Uncle taking care of me since I was a kid! Maybe then Uncle can get it all!" shouted Elmira.

"That fucking abrafo! He chose to leave you with Fahri! That bastard!" grigori.

"He's my father!!! And you're the bastard! Where there was an Uncle who was willing to kill his nephew just for the sake of treasure!" shouted Elmira.

Plaaaaaakkkkkk

"Diamm brengksek!!! Because of you I have to go to jail! Even the UN has intervened!!! Once I get out of here, I'll kill you!!" yelled Uncle Grigori while slapping Elmira's cheek until she fell down.

"I'm waiting for Uncle!! I thought by meeting uncle, I would feel how loved by my real family, but I didn't! And one more thing, I will voluntarily give all Papa's treasure to you! But maybe not anymore! Goodbye to the trial!" said Elmira then left Uncle Grigori just like that. Elmira's words made Uncle Grigori pause for a moment.

"Armrgggghhhh!!! Nooooooooo!!!" yelled Uncle Grigori in frustration.

Elmira ran out, without saying goodbye to Uncle Syauqi or Faza she immediately got into her car.

"Bang Ogem! Walk quickly!" pinta Elmira who makes Bang Ogem jerked.

"Aren't you happy, Neng?" ask Bang Ogem.

"Road now!" jakak Elmira makes Bang Ogem immediately run his car. Along the way Elmira continued to cry, her heart was in great pain.

"Sorry Neng, where are we going?" asked Bang Ogem carefully.

"Punclut, Bang Ogem," said Elmira who was still sobbing.

Now they have arrived in Punclut, Elmira first came there invited by Mirda. Now he wants to visit his place of memory with Mirda.

"Tea, ask for two servings of oncom tutug rice! One asked to be brought up, one there," said Elmira, pointing to Bang Ogem's place.

"Yes Neng, wait a minute!" said the shop owner.

Elmira rises to the 2nd floor, a simple lesehan dining venue with beautiful views. The place was not too crowded, Elmira chose to sit in her place first with Mirda. When the food came, Elmira did not eat it right away.

"Bang Mirda, how can I finish this oncom tutug rice alone? Didn't Bang Mirda say it was better to eat a plate of both?" lirih Elmira's.

Without Elmira knowing, Mirda was just as tormented as she was. Especially after he found out, if Elmira will be proposed by the father. The pain was tormenting her heart.

"I busied myself with the things I did, but every time I stopped I still missed you. I closed my eyes and saw you there. But, when I opened it and saw nothing there, I realized how much I missed you, Elmira," Mirda's inner self as she remembered the girl of her heart.

When you take care of yourself, at the same time, in other places your soul mate also takes care of himself until later you meet in the most blessed times and ways. If finally you are not with the person you often call in your prayers, maybe you will be equated with people who secretly often say your name in their prayers.
