Chapter 3. Anxiety

Plans to enjoy the sunset failed. In a state of panic and anxiety, Hafiz and Rina rode together and drove at high speed. After hearing the news that his father was at the health center, the two did not remain silent.

Life in a pretty small village

and few residents. Difficult to find Hospital. If you have to go to the city hospital, you have to travel two hours from Rina's village.

Access in the village is indeed inadequate, but now good service is being sought at the hospital. The doctor at the health center suggested that Mr. Mudhi be taken to the hospital.

"Rina, you accompany your father. And you Fiz leave quickly. Watch out if you miss your flight!" Mother Sofiah asked harshly, Hafiz looked at his adoptive father. Mr. Mudhi nodded. Hafiz kissed the back of his hand and was not willing but afraid of his adoptive mother.

Rina accompanied her father in the ambulance. "Father ... Maz Hafiz is going to fly. Dad is like this," said Rina while sobbing and putting the back of her father's left hand to her cheek.

His father was unconscious. After two hours the car finally stopped and parked. His father was immediately brought in. Rina's tears fell, melting easily.

Rina paced around anxiously. Not long after her mother came. He cries, his mother hugs him. Rina then recited the Koran beside her father who was still unconscious. Due to high blood pressure and heart attacks. His father was in an existence like this.

"I'm very sure. Mom must have said something until Dad didn't realize it. Mom...." Rina thought to herself looking at her mother who was talking to the doctor.

'Is it Eza? Is he my first love? It's been four years, Rina ... you must be crazy,' he thought then pinched the back of his hand.

"Aaaah!" he shouted, becoming the center of the Doctor's attention.

"Rina, right? O ... so this mother is her mother? I was her senior," explained Doctor Eza. Her mother and Doctor Eza came out.

"Why are you acting so familiar. Ouch... my feelings are back again, how can I be trapped in this deep? Huh ...." he mumbled while covering his face with a difficult expression. Her mother entered the room and sat beside Rina.

"Rina. I have accepted Mrs. Diah's proposal. You will marry Dirga," Rina's words made Rina shake and shocked and immediately burst into tears.

"Bun ... lie? Bun, he is the younger brother of Doctor Eza, right? Don't Mother ... choose someone else. Please Bun ...." Rina looked at her sadly and pleaded with her mother.

"Accept it! It's already done. It's not good to refuse. Don't be disobedient to you, okay?" That answer cut the beautiful girl's heart. Rina ran outside with tears in her eyes.

"How immoral." He wept bitterly until he fell asleep in the Hospital Mosque.

The sound of the call to prayer at dawn. He immediately carried out his duties as me. After the prayer, he went into the room where his father was being cared for.

***

It was a bright morning, the sun was shining brightly. The light burst into the room, Rina looked at her mother with anger. She cried and then decided to take a walk to enjoy a very beautiful morning to get rid of the burden. The sound of birds chirping, adding to the noise, the rustle of sea oaks sweeping the shore could be heard.

Rina walked with her feet, she bought bread at the shop across from the hospital. Behind the small shop, there was a very captivating voice, the sound of oak in the morning, Rina ran happily, her face was radiant, she released her tiredness and confusion, by playing with water.

Rina ran here and there. Then he stopped walking he remembered his father's condition. For a moment he forgot the sudden arranged marriage. He sat on the sand, then lay down, the morning breeze adding to the coolness.

Rina turned her head to her right 200 meters away, then observed and saw the young man who was enjoying coffee and sitting relaxed in the hut, the young man in the gray t-shirt, was none other than Eza.

Rina tried not to care, she returned to enjoying the atmosphere of the ocean in the morning, she took her cellphone to take pictures, in a strange style, like other photo fans.

But how much he tried didn't care, but his eyes wanted to search and couldn't lie, and his neck forced him to turn to face Eza.

Rina with a fluttering feeling followed her eyes. "Well, that's... right, it's gone, Ummm. Why can't I look away? Why are my eyes too honest, this is Rina's sin! You've obeyed the devil's will!" He was annoyed with himself, who couldn't help but look for Eza.

"Hi," called from behind.

"He came to me, A ... happy ...." he thought happily. Rina turned her expression away when she found out that the man standing in front of her was someone else.

"Asep. Why? Ah, lazy." Rina left, Asep even laughed at Rina's departure, I don't know what he was laughing at, Rina walked fast.

Rina was pulled back until she twisted, Rina was shocked and was about to fall, she immediately held on to the shoulder, her eyes wide.

Deg Deg.

His hand holding on to the shoulder of the man in front of him, Eza tied his doctor's coat to Rina's waist.

Rina gulped she was very nervous, sweat appeared from her forehead.

Eza roughly lowered Rina's hand. Rina was still dumbfounded, she couldn't move and was confused about what to say.

"Watch yourself," said Eza, making Rina not understand what he meant. Rina was getting annoyed she took off the white jacket from her waist.

"There's blood!" clearly Eza was very fast, he then just left.

Rina thought then made sure she looked back.

"He ... this is embarrassing, why don't you feel the blood of M. Oh God," he said annoyed with himself, tapping his head. "You are careless, so Asep was laughing at this, oh, how ridiculous...." He continued to talk to himself.

"I feel like I want to hide from Sis Eza, I can't help being embarrassed, M's blood why do you just come out,

should have endured it, where do you want to put this face like a basin." Riana didn't stop regretting, she immediately cleaned herself up, "Auntie can you borrow the bathroom?"

"Just use it."

He went to the shop owner's bathroom, after that he saw the white coat.

"Good thing it's clean." Riana flipped the jazz. Making sure the blood didn't stick, but there was a heavy thing from the jazz pocket on the right, and Aiseteru's song rang.

Riana took the old cell phone, she was shocked to see a tiny little cell phone, a Nokia brand from the 2000s, she was very surprised that a cool, rich young man had an old woman's dream, but admiration began to grow in her heart.

Rina can't help but pick up a call from a girl named Intan. Rina still didn't answer, even though the call made a lot of noise.

"Hey, you inside!" A male voice knocked on the toilet door.

Rina realized it was Eza's voice, she opened the bathroom door.

"Jaz just keep it, bring my cellphone here!" Eza's attitude was very curt, Rina gave her cell phone. They walked under the ketapang tree, a tree whose leaves were wide and the color was false orange with seeds like jengkol.

Eza stopped his steps, it seemed he was calling back the girl who had called him.

"Yes, you just arrange our wedding invitations, yes dear, it's up to you, you wear whatever is beautiful, it's been a while, there are patients," he explained then walked quickly.

Rina was still glued to her place, her heart couldn't bear it, hearing Eza's words, she now had to give up. She turned around and headed back to the beach, teary-eyed.

"My memories and he are this Jaz, why would I keep them!" Rina threw the white Jaz to the beach, ketapang seed started to wet and brought embarrassing memories.

Feelings of confusion hit, he tried to be strong but his tears even flowed down his cheeks, he held back so that there were no crying sounds, even though the tears were flowing he bit his mouth tightly.

He gulped, wiped his tears, then ran to get the coat that had been pulled by Okak, his feet were wet and stuck with porcupine fur.

"Why can't I have the heart to leave this suit, it's just stuff. And this stab wound... haha." Rina vented her fatigue by shouting.

"The wound on my leg is nothing, but my heart ... sob, why to meet again and this hurts more, he ... sob." He walked limply to the shoreline. Sitting on the dry sand squeezed the coat, then hugged the coat.

"Heh ... sob, don't cry Rina," he said, bracing himself. "Maybe your path is with Dirga, heh ... how can that be? I love her brother, even married his sister. Oh God, it's an unpredictable plan, for God's sake I'm nervous," he complained.

Rina was silent and closed her eyes, she enjoyed the sound of Okak and the moderate breeze.

It's really beautiful nature there, light and gusts of wind that blow in succession. But Rina's heart was different, Rina turned her head there was a black shadow in front of her.

"Wo... O!" Riana popped up she was shocked. Asep sat on a piece of tree to the left of Rina. "Huh. Surprised to know," he complained.

"Eat first," said Asep, handing him the wrapped rice. "I'm sorry for laughing at you," he continued.

"You just know that people are hungry. He's always been good. Mas Hafiz's good friend, yes he is," Rina thought then took it with a flat and ungrateful face, she opened the rice wrap which contained yellow rice with sea fish sliced ​​with red spice. The food is very favorite on the island of Sulawesi, Rina can't wait to eat it with gusto.

"People are really upset like me, it's delicious to eat, eating is a special thing when you're confused about the level of romance," he grumbled to himself. He choked, "Ekh, huck, huck, huck."

Asep patted Rina's back.

"Slowly, slowly," said Asep by singing the song Band Box. Rina was free she gave a signal asking for a drink, the taste of fiber in her throat, Asep laughed at Rina's ridiculousness, he gave him a drink that he had opened the bottle cap.

"Heh... thanks." Rina continued to eat.

"If I were Eza, I wouldn't let a silly girl like you go," Asep's expression made Rina widen and choke again, she immediately drank.

"Don't get carried away, I mean you're ridiculous, so you can use it as entertainment when you're tired...." explained Asep, Rina's reflex pushed Asep. Asep fell on the sand. Asep is very upset, his eyes show he is angry, Rina is afraid.

"Sorry," said Rina, who had pushed too hard until Asep's food spilled. Asep even laughed, Rina also laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" asked Asep with an expressionless face.

"What are you laughing at yourself?" asked Rina back frowning.

"When asked instead of asking back, yes you are!" snapped Asep and stood up.

"Where are you going?" Rina raised her face.

"I'm a nurse when my break is up, so I have to work again. Move on. You have survived for years. I feel sorry for you," she explained, Rina was silent and thought.

"Heh ... right. Let go and fly the unspoken feeling," he muttered.

Asep quickly steps until his shadow disappears. Rina took a deep breath, then she returned to the hospital.
