Little Story About You
CHAPTER 12: THE MYSTERY
Abel got out of the taxi and ran straight into the hospital building. He decided to stop for a moment at the place of service and administrative registration. Precisely in a beige and white painted room. The room, called the lobby, is being crowded with families and patients waiting. They were all gathered in every row of waiting chairs available.
Abel immediately hurriedly approached the guarding nurse with breath still panting, Abel began to speak.
“Suster.”
“Somebody can help?”
“Doctor Ibram. The task is done?”
“I'm checking.” The nurse searched Ibram for information on his computer screen.
“Cepet, Sus!” Abel urged with a feeling of anxiety that enveloped him. She was worried that Ray was coming to the hospital, so she occasionally turned to the lobby behind her, timidly Ray appeared at the hospital's main door. “Where, Sus?”ask Abel again impatiently.
“Doctor Ibram may have entered the operating room now, after which he must hold a meeting with Team DPJP. Maybe his job is about to finish late at night.”The nun explained in detail and clearly to Abel. Immediately Abel limp heard the information.“Anything else to help?”The sister asked Abel.
“I can stay in order for doctor Ibram?”abel's voice had changed slowly.
“Please.” The nurse joined in with a nod.
“Borrow ballpoint pen with paper, Sus.”
Abel received a pen and a piece of paper from the nurse. After that she wrote a line of sentences, then Abel handed back the paper in her hand to the sisters.
“Please explain, I have to say what is the same doctor Ibram?” ask sister.
“Just give me this paper done its job. Doctor Ibram must understand what I mean, Sus.”
“Good.”
“Thank you, Sus.”
After that Abel immediately entered through the hospital lobby, Abel down every corridor passage that had made him confused and lost the direction of looking for Ibram workspace. For Ibram did not carry himself through the lobby, but a special road. Fortunately the presence of a nurse not far in front of him, making him not need to think long to ask. After hearing carefully the explanation from the nurse, Abel finally managed to find the space he was looking for.
“Finally.”Abel was relieved to find the door of Ibram's study. Open the door and enter the room.
After being in Ibram's study, Abel hurriedly picked up a suitcase containing his clothes instead, a sling bag and his cell phone from the top of the gurney.
Abel decides to leave the hospital as her whereabouts have been monitored by Ray and Cindy without her knowledge. Before the two managed to meet him back at the same place, he had to leave the hospital first. Heading somewhere that Ray and Cindy can't guess for a while.
For a moment his gaze was fixed on Ibram's desk. He remembered, the man put the camera he had borrowed there. Abel approached the table with a photograph of Ibram in a white SUV, but he was in a hurry, his mind unable to focus there.
Then he looked around for the camera in one of the six drawers behind the table. Lock each drawer tucked in a keyhole, so he does not have to bother to dismantle every drawer.
“Where's the camera, huh? Where is he simplifying?”Abel spoke to himself unsettled from his voice and attitude while opening the drawers one by one.
Finally, in the third drawer, Abel managed to find seven different cameras and an iPad that Ibram used.
The first camera is a pocket camera silver color blue on each edge vertical and horizontal. Then for the second camera is a white polaroid camera, the third camera is a type of camera recorder black, while the fourth camera is a type of waterproof camera, there are also three similar cameras, namely, DSLRs from different brands.
“Oh my God! Lots of cameras! This is not all from the story bang Hugo.”Abel shook for a moment while looking at the entire camera. From the old season to the latest, it is in the drawer. Well-organized, well-maintained, and clean.
“He's this crazy same camera?”Abel touched one by one things in front of him with his fingers.“He's got all kinds. There... one, two, three, four, five... seven!” his screams at himself in a loud voice unconsciously. Abel. He was impressed with part of the collection.
Then he took one of the DSLR cameras he had borrowed at that time, then put the object into a pouch arranged in a drawer. Afterwards, Abel came out of Ibram's study, passing through the same street as Ibram had taken himself into the hospital.
From there, Abel still had to pass through the hospital parking space which was not the responsibility. With agitated feelings and an unrelenting look of caution, Abel finally managed to be safely outside.
For a moment, Abel stopped at the security guard to ask for help.
“Pak.” Whispering.
“Can I please find a taxi, Sir?”
“Bby. I'll get it.” for a moment
About five minutes waiting at the security guard post with a loud heart pounding erratically and feeling chaotic, even to breathe even Abel seemed to forget to do it.
After seeing security guards and taxi cars coming to him, Abel could only breathe a long breath. He looks relieved. While making his body somewhat down he also walked to the taxi, his attitude was provoking the attention of two other guards who stood guard. Even the taxi driver looked at him confused.
“As soon as they think what. The important thing is I can go from here.”Abel said with a stifled voice inside his gritted mouth. Once the security guard came to him, issued a piece of money, then given to the security guard who was assigned by him just now.
“Please tell doctor Ibram, I'll take the camera. That was aja. Thank you, Mr.” Abel said quietly for the last time to the security guard, then entered the taxi.
***
Abel chose to stay at a hotel tonight, tomorrow morning about seven o'clock he will immediately leave the hotel to the Marina Ancol boat dock, then rent a speed boat to the destination location, the Thousand Islands tour, the distance may take one and a half or up to two hours by boat from Jakarta.
After entering the rented hotel room, Abel laid himself on the bed and let out a sigh of relief. Finally he made it through the day that he thought was so tired and long. Long enough he lay on the bed, a wall clock showed the number five past thirty minutes, making Abel finally move to clean up.
Thirty minutes later, Abel opened the door of the hotel room connecting with the balcony, he immediately felt the chill of a strong wind hit him, who was only wearing oversized sweatshirts and white hot pants. Both hands were placed on the iron barrier of the balcony and looked at the urban lights and the typical multi-storey building of a big city.
“It turns out Jakarta is this beautiful. Especially at night and from a high place like gini.”
At once Abel took a breath and exhaled it hard, as if taking off the weight of the barrage he was facing. His memory returned to his situation when he was with Ray a moment ago. The man was so hard and so pushy. A different figure to Ray whom he had known all along. It's just that instead of being happy, it just made him feel scared earlier. However, he could not lie to himself, because his heart still belonged to the man completely.
Abel closed his eyes and spread his hands wide on his right and left sides. He breathed in the cold air that night.
“Please help me forget him.” Abel was talking about himself. A scream from his deepest heart was uttered without a sound.
Her tears fell slowly through both corners of her eyes. Pressed desperately the pain that evaporated in his chest. He swallowed a cry in his throat that would rupture as hard as he could. He was firmly attached to his ten fingers until they turned white. All the attention given and felt during this time felt futile. How foolish he always showed his obvious feelings, but eventually left a trace of pain in him.
Rain spots suddenly felt on his face, so that he had to break away from nature which was welcoming a cloudy atmosphere in his heart. Just now it was still not enough, it was not even half the burden on his heart to escape.
Abel quickly entered the hotel room again and closed the door and curtains completely.
He accidentally saw the phone he put next to his sling bag. Suddenly, he remembered his mother.
“Halo, Ma.”
“Abel. Where are you going? Abis came home from Mama's hospital on the phone but could not. My mother did not calm down. Where are you actually? What again? HP is also not enabled.” Mama Abel immediately protested. There was clearly her mother's anxiety from that soft voice.
“Sorry, Mom. The old number Abel threw away. Abel's got this number now. Just Mama, papa and Abel who just found out. Abel doesn't want any outsiders to know.”
His mother immediately understood where the direction of the conversation her daughter meant. Just because two families want to unite their sons and daughters, their own daughters suffer. With the added attitude and attention of the two families, as if deliberately ignoring his daughter. Her daughter was so innocent, sweet, and naive in front of everyone.
“Yaudah later Mama tell papa. But promise Mama, you have to be okay?”
“Hmm. Abel's good, Ma. Anyway Abel peeper himself while.” Abel convinced his mother.
“Sama doctor Ibram, right?” search mama.
“Because, Ma. Abel is no longer with doctor Ibram now.”
“Why not be together? It's safer to have someone take care of you.”
Abel nodded confirming.“Doctor Ibram is still busy, Ma. Abel was alone. See tomorrow at.”
“Ooh yes-iya Mama forgot. Yaudah no pa-pa working person want to say what?”
Abel's smile instantly imprinted clearly. “Mama really likes doctor Ibram. Mama immediately believed the doctor Ibram to take care of Abel. We just knew him.”
“The doctor's soul is soft. Hence Mama likes and believes the same doctor Ibram.”His mother replied that she believed in the figure of Ibram.
From the first known as one of his daughter's doctors, Abel's mother was amazed by the painstaking and deft attitude of Ibram in treating Abel as a patient. Mama Abel felt like Ibram was not looking after patients, but lovers. Abel's mother witnessed Ibram whispering in Abel's ear when his daughter's consciousness had not yet returned. Don't know what. Unfortunately, Abel's mother could not hear him at the time.
Abel's voice immediately returned the mind of Abel's mother who was remembering the figure of Ibram just now.
“Mama can only, deh.” However, Abel also confirmed his mother's remarks about Ibram. The man did treat her very gently and carefully, as far as she knew and spent the moment together lately. But the man sometimes looks mysterious as well, like someone is deliberately hidden from everyone, which Abel cannot guess, maybe even others as well. This is what Abel really wants to find out.
“You are sleeping now. Get enough rest. Do not forget to take medication. It's in the suitcase that Mama brought this afternoon.”Mother's message.
“Iya Mom. Abel did not forget.”
After Abel and his mother's phone call was over, Abel turned off the room light, and quickly laid himself on the bed, his lips smiling in light of Ibram's momentary figure, but his drowsiness overcame it, so that he closed his eyes slowly until he fell asleep until the next morning.
