Waiting for the Love of the Country
CHAPTER 5. The Truth Revealed

After being satisfied playing water in Curug, they decided to return to the house of Uwak Ais to change clothes and perform Dzuhur Prayer together. Finish their prayers lunch together because their stomachs are already very rumbling.

"Makasa Uwak Ais is the best!" said Yuliana who just finished her meal after 3x added.

"Not your laper Lil, but doyan!" chirps Febri.

"Hehehe, it's just here. I'll call Mama Rini first!" yuliana said and hurried to go to the room.

"It's Ulil mah's habit! Escape, don't want to be beberes if you've eaten," Gisya scolded while cleaning up their used dishes.

"Emang! Yaudah I also went to the room first yes, not yet ngabarin my beloved Kang Mas" said Febri who immediately went after Yuliana.

"Everyone! The habit of having a friend gini very, how if you already have a husband try. Time has eaten play ngacir aja not beberes first." grumbled Gisya.

"Don't ngedumel Neng, it won't be a reward! Assalamualaikum," said Uwak Ais who had just come with Uwak Yusuf.

"Goddessalam! Uwak mah makes Caca jangangan deh. Uwak how are you?" tanya Gisya who immediately splashed into the arms of Uwak Yusuf.

Uwak Yusuf is a substitute father figure for Gisya, as now Gisya is very spoiled for Uwakya.

"Eh, Uwak's daughter is already big still a block like a lizard" said Uwak Yusuf while stroking the head of Gisya wrapped in hijab.

"Gisya kangen with Uwak," said Gisya still while hugging her Uwak tightly as if channeling longing towards the father.

"Udah, have a hug later. Now Caca rest, we'll burn some corn near the Fish Pond tonight!" Uwak Ais.

"Asshiiikk! Caca to the room first yes, Uwak." said Gisya then headed to the room to rest.

Both of his best friends had first fallen asleep in their respective mattresses. Gisya tried to close his eyes, but it felt very difficult even though his body felt very tired. Suddenly his phone vibrated, there was one incoming message from an unknown number.

+628198093****

If you are a woman, you will understand that Zayn does not expect your presence. Please let her out of that ridiculous match. Your father asked Zayn to take care of you in return because your father saved his father Zayn from an accident!

The deg!

The message made Gisya's heart hurt even more, Gisya's tears could not be contained anymore. Gisya cried, making his two friends wake up.

"Ca, why are you Ca?" ask Febri to panic.

"Ca! Why your story? Don't cry like this, what are we doing?" yuliana said while carrying Gisya his embrace.

Gisya could not say anything, he could only give his phone to Febri. Febri and Yuliana read the message from the unknown number. They hugged each other to strengthen, but it turned out that their cries had been heard by Uwak Ais.

"Astaghfirulloh, what is this? Why are you hugging a gini?" asked Uwak Ais who was panicking seeing them cry.

"Ummi was screaming" said Uwak Yusuf who also entered his nephew's room.

"Ummi also did not know Abi, Ummi came here because of the horror of their cries." Uwak Ais.

"Now you calm down, tell me what's wrong with Uwak?" ask Uwak Yusuf.

Febri gives Gisya's cell phone to Uwak Ais and is surprised how Uwak Ais reads a message from an unknown number.

"Astaghfirulloh Abi" said Uwak Ais while giving Gisya's phone to her husband and hugged Gisya who was still crying sobbing.

"Have not cried, later tonight Uwak will tell the true events" said Uwak Yusuf and was taken by them.

Tired of crying they fell asleep, until exactly 4 pm Gisya woke up because he felt pain in his head.

"Astaghfirulloh I haven't prayed Ashar," Gisya rushed to the bathroom to wudhu and woke up his two best friends.

"Ulil, Ebiw wake up! Ashar prayer first, the time is up" said Gisya.

"Iyaa Ca," Febri and Yuliana replied simultaneously.

After finishing the prayer, Febri and Yuliana went out of the room to help Uwak Ais cook. Unlike Gisya who is still thinking to calm his heart.

"O Allah, strengthen my heart and strengthen my mother's heart. Give patience and fortitude to the servant, do not let there be resentment in the heart of the servant Ya Allah. Eliminate the hatred in the heart of the servant, give the best way for the servant of Ya Rabb. I believe the scenario of life You give for the servant is the best, forgive all the sins of the servant Ya Allah" Gisya said in his prayer.

It turned out that in the room there was Uwak Yusuf who heard all the do'a that Gisya said.

"Uwak believes you are a strong son of Ca" said Uwak Yusuf to Gisya's surprise.

"Astaghfirulloh Owak! Caca was startled, "sniffed Gisya while holding onto her chest.

"This is sitting next to Uwak, it's time you know the real incident" said Uwak Yusuf.

"Did Mother and Uqi also not know the true events?" asked Gisya while leaning his head on his shoulder.

"Your mother knows the truth, so your mother agreed to your match. Mother Caca considers everything as a return from the Deni family." said Uwak Yusuf while starting to tell stories.

That morning Gisya's father named Wahyu was at one of the Restaurants in Dago along with Uwak Yusuf and Deni friends of Wahyu. They had just completed a cooperation contract with one of the tea beverage packaging companies.

"Thank God A, we can finally reach this contract."  Revelation to Joseph.

"Yes thanks to Deni we can get a big contract like this, thank you very much, Den" said Yusuf while embracing Deni who is the father of Zayn.

"You guys! All because the tea from your garden is very high quality. I'm just promoting" Deni said with a smile.

"Why do we stop by my wife's shop after this, I want to give her this surprise." Bring Revelation.

"I agree, I happen to want to buy cakes and macarons for Ajeng, Zayn and Zahra" Deni said.

When he exited the restaurant and was about to cross the road to the car park, Wahyu saw a truck driving at high speed. While Deni is still busy staring at his phone.

"Den, whoa!!" yelling Revelation then pushed Deni until his head hit.

Aaaakkkkk!!!

The truck crashed into the body of Revelation until bounced, Yusuf who was just about to open the car door was very surprised and shouted towards his sister.

"Yahuuuuuu!!!" yusuf shouted.

"Yuu wake up Yuu, please help me get my sister to the car!!" joseph said to those who saw the incident. Not to forget Yusuf also brought Deni, he asked one of the witnesses to drive a car and take him to the Hospital. While the truck driver has been secured by the surrounding residents.

Arriving at the Hospital, Wahyu was immediately rushed to the Operating Room because there was bleeding on his head. While Deni was in the Emergency Unit, after that Wahyu contacted his wife who was with his sister's wife. Soon Syifa arrived with Ais.

"How did this happen A? How is A Revelation?" ask Syifa while crying.

"Relax Neng, Revelation is in Operation inside. Now we can only pray that God will protect the Revelation." said Joseph, calming his sister's wife.

Ajeng had also arrived there with Zayn and Zahra, after hearing the story from her husband Ajeng decided to meet Syifa.

"Mbak Syifa, forgive us. For helping Mas Deni, Mas Wahyu wretched like this." said Ajeng with regret.

There was no answer from Syifa, because at this time all she thought about was her husband who was struggling between life and death. Then the doctor approached them and said that the condition of Revelation was very critical and wanted to meet Deni. Eventually the doctor allowed Deni to go inside accompanied by Zayn pushing his father's wheelchair.

"Yuu, wake up Yuu. It's Deni, I'm sorry Yu, if only I didn't focus on my phone. Maybe you won't be like this." Deni said with regret.

"De-deni, to-please please my daughter," said the stammering Revelation.

"I will definitely look after Caca like my own daughter, you should recover Yu. Let's get our son Yu married!" Deni said he made Zayn widen his eyes. But Zayn can't do anything, because Revelation has saved his father's life.

"Just in case my daughter Zayn, I-I leave her to you" said Revelation with a severed breath.

"Yes Om Wahyu, Zayn will look after Om's daughter. Om must heal in order to marry us." said Zayn, stroking the hand of Revelation.

After Deni and Zayn, enter Syifa with Ais and Joseph. Syifa's heart was so saddened to see the condition of her husband lying helpless.

"Aa, it's me a. Aa has to be strong for me and the kids" Syifa said as she kissed her husband's hand.

"Don't cry, you have to be strong. Take good care of our children, be sincere and live all this. Ja-don't hate anyone, this is already the way of Aa." said Revelation with increasingly decapitated breath.

"No, don't talk about it! I have to what without Aa, I can do without Aa." said Syifa increasingly hugged and kissed her husband's hand tightly.

"Ti-titip my family A Joseph, marry Caca to Zayn. But if Caca refuses, don't force it. I-I just want someone to take care of my daughter" Revelation told Yusuf.

Instead of answering, Joseph went out of the room and asked Gisya to come to the Hospital. Because he knows, his sister's time is not long.

Long Joseph wept bitterly in the Waiting Room, for he did not want to burden his brother. He overhears Zayn's conversation with someone on the phone.

"I love you, even though I'm only the second. But I can't resist my father's wishes either, that man saved my father's life. I'm forced to accept everything, but you don't worry. We can still relate as we are now, only our status is the same. Both are second." Zayn told someone at the end of the phone.

Joseph clenched his hands, he did not want his bangs to fall into the wrong hands. But because Gisya has accepted his father's wishes, he will follow whatever his sister wants.  After the death of Revelation, Joseph guarded Gisha from afar. He asks some of his confidants to monitor Gisya from afar.

Flashback Off

Gisya wept bitterly at the story of his Uwak, as well as Uwak Ais, Febri and Yuliana who listened behind the door. Gisya's heart was very sliced, all this time he tried to open his heart to Zayn who was already intending to feed him. Gisya's decision was more and more unanimous to cancel all unwanted matchmaking.

"Look, Caca wants everything canceled!" Gisya.

"InshaAllah Uwak will cancel everything, now live happily. Find your own Imam for the Caca family, Uwak is sure there will be wisdom behind this all" said Uwak Yusuf while rubbing the head of Gisya.

"Thank you Uwak, Caca dear Uwak." said Gisya.

"Well, now we are ready to pray Maghrib in Mushola" said Uwak Yusuf while removing the tears on Gisya's cheek.

Gisya nodded his head, after Uwak Yusuf came out of Gisya's room taking a photo of the Father and hugging him.

"Sorry Caca Well, Zayn is not the best for Caca. Caca hopes you're not disappointed by Caca's decision" Caca said in her heart as she stroked and hugged her father's photo.
