Waiting for the Love of the Country
CHAPTER 13. Re-meeting

Gisya had just opened his eyes, faintly he heard the sound of people shouting. However, Gisya was unable to move. His body seemed weak, to raise a hand was very difficult.

"Where's this? Why is my body weak like this? Mother where? Caca is afraid." Inner Gisya.

Today Gisya has started to be moved to the usual Inpatient Room, after two days ago it woke up. Gisya's condition is quite stable, only there are some things that might make them sad again. Gisya had just fallen asleep, when the doctor came to check on her condition.

"There are a few things I have to say about Gisya's condition. Currently Gisya will have difficulty moving his limbs especially the legs. As a result of the accident made some nerves in his muscles weakened and there was also a fractured leg bone. We have now put a brace on his fractured leg bone" the doctor explained.

"Oh Allah, Son." said Mother Syifa.

"Mother don't worry, it's not permanent. If he continues to do therapy, then he will be able to walk as usual" said the doctor explained.

"How long Doc, my brother has to undergo therapy?" ask the Doctor.

"It all depends on the patient. If he has high spirits, maybe in 2-3 months he can walk normally again. If no one is asked back, I'm sorry to visit other patients" said the doctor.

"Thank you, Doctor." said Mother and Shauqi.

Gisya who had yet to completely fall asleep, heard all those conversations. His heart was so sick, he couldn't walk. He remembered the incident again. Where her body bounced onto the asphalt, all Gisya remembered so much was that she felt her body drift away.

It's been 2 months. Every day Syauqi, Febri and Yuliana took turns to accompany Gisya in the therapy. Since that incident, Gisya has become more quiet. Even they could no longer see the sweet smile on Gisya's face. Like this afternoon, they are training Gisya to walk using a walker in one of the front gardens of the Bandung Heroes Cemetery. They chose the place, because it was not so crowded.

"Come, Ca's spirit! You can do it!" yuliana encouraged Gisya.

Gisya did not answer him, he began to continue his efforts in order to walk. Gisya began to get upset, because his legs have not been able to escape from the stick that tortured him for 2 months.

Bruughh!

Gisya fell, they panicked and ran towards Gisya. But their steps came to a halt when Gisya began to speak.

"Stop! Don't anyone dare to go forward, leave me alone!" gisya Pinta.

"Teh, let Uqi help you stand up. If Teteh cape, we go home now yes, Tea." said Syauqi persuaded Gisya.

"Stop Teteh said! Teteh does not want to be pitied, please Teteh ask to leave teteh alone!" gisya.

"Ca don't gini yeah. If you cape, we take a break home now. Don't be too forced, I beg Ca." persuaded Febri who hoped Gisya would listen to him.

"How many times have I said, please leave me alone this time! Deteh beg Qi, I beg you," said Gisya who begged everyone.

"Yaudah, we'll wait for you there! If you have calmed down, we will come back here again" said Yuliana who understands our current condition Gisya.

They went to one of the street vendors selling fried food. There they sat watching Gisya from afar. They saw Gisya trying to get up and start walking.

They've been there for almost an hour. However, Gisya was still trying to learn to walk. The sky was already overcast, Syauqi several times persuaded Gisya to go home. But Gisya still wants to stay there. Gisya had already started to get upset and emotional. He fell down again and this time he flailed his legs to vent his emotions. They did not dare to approach, because Gisya's emotions were unstable. Febri and Yuliana just hugged each other, took shelter from the rain and saw Gisya from a distance. As well as Syauqi, he could only hold back his tears when he saw Gisya like that.

Coincidentally that day Fahri had also started getting assignments in Bandung. Fahri enjoying Afternoon Run around Gasibu. He parked his car near the Heroes Cemetery, because the road was not so crowded and not much passed by public transportation. The rain began to fall, Fahri ran towards his car. However, his steps came to a halt when he saw a girl who had fallen while walking using a cane. Fahri approached the girl.

"Oh my God, why did this have to happen to me?! I'm tired, I'm tired! I want to be like before, I want to be able to walk like I used to!! You are useless!!" gisya shouted in frustration while throwing his stick.

The stick fell right in front of Fahri, he walked towards the girl. Under the rain, Fahri could not see the girl's face.

"Don't blame God, it's all happening to you because God believes you can get through it. If you give up, it is a sign that you do not believe in God. Let me help you stand up." said Fahri while giving the stick. But Gisya brushed it off.

"Don't pity me! I don't need to be pitied!" yell Gisya. Fahri pensively for a moment.

"I just want to help you, not pity you! Look at you, crying yourself in the rain and lamenting your sorrow. Don't you think about the people out there? There are those who suffer more than you! They had no hands and no legs, but they were still eager to live life! Can't you be grateful for that?" fahri advised Gisya.

Gisya fell silent, all Fahri's words did have a point. All this time he only lamented his fate, but out there there are still many people who suffer much more from him.

Gisya began to take his cane and tried to stand up, but his leg hurt. Fahri who saw Gisya in pain did not budge. Not because it does not care, but Fahri wants the girl to be more able to appreciate other people.

"If you're having trouble, why not ask for help?" said Fahri while aligning his body with Gisya.

Gisya was silent for a moment, Fahri had already stood up and walked a few steps. But he fell silent after hearing Gisya's voice.

"Please! Helpme! Please help me!" gisya shouted while crying.

"That voice," Fahri's inner

Fahri turned his head towards the voice, he walked up to Gisya and aligned his body back. Fahri gives the stick to Gisya and he accepts it from Fahri. As Gisya raised his face, their gaze met. Gisya and Fahri were both shocked. Gisya begins to stand aided by Fahri. The incident did not escape the view of Syauqi, Febri and Yuliana. As Syauqi was about to approach Gisya, he was detained by Febri.

"Is she the girl? Her voice was exactly like the voice of the woman in my dreams and it was that voice that made me realize I was in a coma." Inner Fahri.

"How are you?" ask Fahri.

"As you can see, it's not okay."

"Not no, but not yet" Fahri replied.

As he was about to start stepping, Gisya felt his head dizzy and unconscious. Fahri swiftly held Gisya's body and carried him to his car. But Syauqi, Febri and Yuliana held him back.

"Let me take the car, please sit in the back with Gisya" Syauqi said.

Fahri was astonished, but when he saw Febri and Yuliana he nodded his head. He held Gisya in the back seat, while Yuliana and Febri followed in Syauqi's car.

"Is she Gisya's new lover? But it looks like the age of the man is far below Gisya" Fahri said in his heart.

"I am Syauqi, Gisya's only sister," said Syauqi, who seemed to understand what Fahri had in mind.

"I'm Fahri, friend of Febri's lover,"

"August TNI?" ask Fahri.

"Yes, I just transferred to Bandung. You seem to be one profession with me." guess Fahri.

"I am Police Bang, just 2 months graduated from SPN. Now the task at Polwiltabes." said Syauqi.

"Where are we going Syauqi? Wasn't the clinic gone?" wonder Fahri because he did not know where Syauqi would take him.

"To the House of Bang, from that day on Caca Tea would no longer be associated with anything that smelled of medicine." Syauqi. Fahri just nodded his head as a sign of approving.

Febri and Yuliana had arrived first at the Gisya House. They prepare towels for Gisya.

At the sound of the car, they rushed out to open the gate.

"Astaghfirulloh! Caca why else?" shouted Mother Syifa who saw Syauqi holding Gisya.

"Fainting Bun, maybe soy sauce." replied Syauqi.

"Bring him into the room! Ulil please change Caca's clothes. Mother wants to make hot tea first for you," said Mother Syifa.

"Ready! Bun, borrow Alm's shirt. Daddyh. Uqi clothes will not fit like it, it must be small." said Yuliana.

"Whose clothes are you wearing?" Wonder Mother Syifa.

"That's for the one who nolongin Caca! Mommy sees it alone," Yuliana said as she walked towards Gisya's room.

"MashaAllah, Fahri!" greet Mother Syifa who reflexively hugged Fahri.

"Mother's clothes get wet because of Fahri's hug. Hehehe, Mother how are you?" ask Fahri.

"Mother is good, I'll talk to him later. Now change your clothes, but wearing Daddy's ex is okay? Uqi clothes must be small in your body," said Mother Syifa.

"Thank you, Bun."

Fahri changed his clothes in Uqi's room. While coming out of the bathroom, Fahri saw Uqi who was bowed lethargic on the sofa while holding a picture of his father. Syauqi raised his head.

"With your clothes on, look almost exactly the same, don't you?" syauqi said while showing a photo of his father wearing clothes that are currently being worn by Fahri.

"You miss your father, Syauqi?" ask Fahri.

"Call me Uqi, Bang. Of course very longing, Dad died just the day before Uqi's Birthday." - Shauqi. Fahri carried Uqi in his arms.

"You're a cop, you have to be strong! I'm sure your father is very proud of you right now" Fahri said cheering Syauqi on.

"You're lucky, you still have your Mother by your side. If there is no Mama Risma and Papa Hari, maybe until now I live alone." Fahri said in his heart.
