Little Story About You
CHAPTER 15: A FUN SHORT STORY
Abel slammed hard on the main door of his house deliberately, when he saw Ray's car had been in front of the gate of his house. He is angry and resentful at Ray and Cindy's attitude. I don't know why the two are interfering in his current life.
After being inside the house, the girl threw the origin of her bag onto the sofa and slammed her body to sit.
“Maaa.”
Not long after her mother appeared from another room. The middle-aged woman looked surprised to get her tired-looking daughter sitting in front of her, she immediately sat on the same sofa.
“Why come home suddenly? You're no longer sick, are you?”asked her worried mother while putting the back of her hand against her daughter's forehead.
Abel shook his head slowly while looking at his mother with a gloomy face.“Abel is tired, Ma. Abel really wants to be angry it feels.” Abel's response was limp.
“Why? Didn't you say you wanted to spend a few days alone? Why go home?”
“That's Ray's brother Cindy. Abel's time was taken to the island of Hope. That's a big deal, right, Ma?” said sebal.
Her mother was surprised. “Masa, yes?! They're going there?!”
Abel nodded.“Just Ray's brother. Cindy just arrived this morning, it was also waiting for Abel at the dock Marina Ancol.” Unmistakably.
“What do they want, anyway? I want a fiancee too, still fun to disturb you. I don't have any other business.” Her mother seemed to be upset.
Abel sighed heavily. “Makanya Abel bete very much the same both of them. Not to mention Ray's rude attitude to Ibram's doctor. Abel was shocked, Ma. Abel did not think Ray dared to hit the doctor Ibram there. Abel would feel so guilty like a doctor Ibram.”Abel's voice sounded faint and frightened.
“Gosh. How could it, anyway? Shame the family.”Mama Abel looked surprised.
“Sister Ray same Cindy does not like to see Abel hang out with doctor Ibram. Doctor Ibram said it was strange, mysterious. It's not clear, Ma?”
“This cannot be allowed! Mama should talk to their family!”Mama Abel looked displeased and was about to stand up from the sofa.
“Ma, Ma, no... Abel please. Let this be Abel's business with them. Mama don't interfere. Abel is worried, that there is a relationship we all even more tense later.”Abel restrained his mother, and calmed her down to sit down again.
“Kalo not you hold, Mama already gatel it feels like to talk directly to them! What business do they manage the life of Mama's son?! Mama who is tired of conceiving, giving birth, and raising you until now! Mama is equally papa who loves you education and affection until now. Mama is the same papa who plays a big role in your life. Who are they? Very presumptuous!”Mama Abel was really angry until his voice was raised when he expressed his regret.
“Maaa hold your anger Mama. Yes?”Abel looked anxiously watching his fiery mother's fury. Abel calmed down and embraced his mother. Then, a silly idea came to his mind during the taxi. Abel also voiced it.“We moved out once, Ma. Abel tired constantly around them.” Frustrated speech.
Mom surprised.“I can't, darling. This house is our first home. Papa's sweat and labor over years of work. Poor papa if it has to be sold. You have the heart?”
“Iya also. Abel is selfish. What is Abel's fate, Ma? They keep bothering Abel. Not where I am. They don't even seem to respect Doctor Ibram. Ikh, just really nice, deh!” Reveal it in a rather strong voice. He really felt guilty for Ibram, this made him depressed, for betraying the man. At first he asked for help.
Unconsciously, Abel bit his lip when he remembered the incident again
“Oya, what doctor Ibram? Any word yet?” mama Abel asked worriedly.
“She Abel lives on the island of Hope. Abel is not. The problem is that Ibram's doctor does not want to fight with Ray at all. ”Sorry in a slow voice.
“What are those people like? Does their world stop if you hang out with doctor Ibram?” her mother looked angry.
Abel shook his head slowly as he got up from the sofa. He is tired and no longer wants to talk about anything that has to do with Ray and Cindy. Both of them had managed to make his vacation chaotic in a short period of time. Creating guilt in someone out there who might be disappointed. After this, perhaps the person started avoiding him.
***
Abel went to the hospital tomorrow morning to make sure Ibram had returned and the man was doing well.
At the desk of the information service unit and administrative registration, Abel has been standing waiting for the nurse to give news about Ibram since five minutes ago.
“Doctor Ibram has no schedule today. He empties up to the next four days.” Obviously the sister was to Abel.
Abel let out a heavy sigh at the disappointing information.“Thanks for the information, Sus.” The girl turned around with shaky steps through the hospital lobby that was never quiet. Meanwhile, Abel suspects Ibram is still in the Thousand Islands, could be spending the rest of the time that the man had set himself two days ago.
For an hour circling around Jakarta in his car, Abel decided to stop for a while at Hugo's workshop. Perhaps from that man there was little information whatsoever that he could get about Ibram. Abel immediately dropped himself on the sofa after entering Hugo's study without saying anything.
Hugo's attention from his busy life saw the list of spare parts that entered the workshop this morning, suddenly stopped from the sheet of paper. Hugo immediately reacted to see the presence of Abel in front of him.
“Owny? Ibram not coming?” hearing Hugo's question made Abel even more desperate, because of the meaning of the man's sentence, he did not know the whereabouts of Ibram.
In the meantime, it was no wonder Hugo raised such a question. Because, after disappearing for two days in a row, since Ibram left his workshop, his little brother finally reappeared. Hugo immediately moved to sit down to approach Abel who was still pensive in his world.
“Why daydream?”
Abel sighed heavily to answer the thing that made him depressed.“So Bang Hugo doesn't know where is Doctor Ibram?” he asked in a limp voice, although he was sure the answer he heard later was very clear.
“Ibram? He was the same as you two days ago. There has been no news since that day. Kirain you guys are still together.” Hugo said in wonder.
“Doctor Ibram kayak where the hell is the character? Bang Hugo knew him a long time ago. I know that, dong. Does he like to suddenly get away from people who have made him sprain? Or how? Please tell Abel everything that Bang Hugo knows.”He looked at Hugo with great hope. But what he received was even the eyes of regret from the man.
“We are indeed friends since High School. But you don't know as far as you think. Ibram did not express himself too much. Kinda stingy talk.”
“Do doctor Ibram don't have any stories about him?” abel asked still not to believe.
Hugo was a friend of Ibram during High School, they became classmates since in class XI. But never be a friend. Ibram's desk was in front of Hugo's table at the time. They also become familiar after often becoming group co-workers in schoolwork. They usually work in the Afreni house, Hugo's house, the school library or outside. Ibram never offered it once at his house. Actually ever, but Ibram claimed it was only his family halfway house, not the main house of his family. Thus, making his friends not so much know about his personal.
After graduating from High School, Hugo heard Ibram went on to study abroad for eight years. Only when on vacation back to Indonesia he came to visit, even then they never again met or communicated.
Hugo and Ibram were able to communicate with each other again, when a few months ago heard the news of Ibram's return to Indonesia. Hugo was engaged to Afreni. Eventually, the two decided to invite Ibram to their wedding three months later.
“Ada.” Hugo nodded. “This info limited.”
“That's all?” Abel again tried to digest Hugo's words.
“Yang Bang Hugo knows just this. It also fits at the end of class XII.” He said as he looked at Abel who was listening so seriously.“The hospital where you were treated, had his father.”
“Ooh pantesan he went in and out freely from where aja.” Abel nodded in understanding, for Ibram was so flexible as to move from any angle inside the hospital.
“Still have more to do with that hospital.”Said Hugo.
“What?” Abel looked at Hugo, curious.
“He was a big doctor at that hospital. He holds a Doctor of Medicine degree from America. Bang Hugo did not know whose father, Ibram never knew directly. But for sure, his father was the most respected doctor in the hospital. Of course, other than one reason that he is the owner. To name... Bang Hugo only remembers his name if it is not wrong.”.Hugo tries to remember.“Bang Hugo forgot. But. There is Baskoro behind his name. His full name is Ibram. Alfabio Ibram Baskoro.” He is very sure.
Abel nodded and was silent for quite a while as if thinking of the reason Ibram hid all that.“Maybe that's why Ibram doesn't talk about his family. Everyone in his family is not a random person. He's afraid of being misunderstood.”
“Maybe yes. It may also be the opposite.”
“Certainly, just take the report card or meeting parents and teachers at school. Has your mom ever come to school?”
“Ya, come. Just don't know which one. Maybe the Headmaster knows, maybe there is a teacher who knows, yes, it could be one or two people from the student guardians know. Bang Hugo himself is not sure.”
“Ever-ever. It was written in Bang Hugo. Bang Hugo said. For example, A point Abelia. That's so. What's the name, both doctors also they.”
“Keren! Abel doesn't know what to say anymore? They're all great educated people.”Abel looked amazed at it.
Hugo silently smiled watching Abel's reaction from earlier. She was relieved to see Abel starting to look better.“ There is another one that is astounding.”Hugo again. He wanted to see Abel happily take off all the burdens in his heart these days.
“What? Whahuh? What?”Abel until shifted forward from his initial sitting position.
“He has a younger brother. Her sister was quite often a wara wiri on TV, but not a celebrity. Unfortunately, Bang Hugo doesn't know who.” is
“Serious Bang Hugo?!”abel's eyeballs rounded sharply staring at Hugo right now.
“Serious.”Hugo replied with a nod of his head.
“Bang Hugo got all this information from whom?” Abel asked so curious. So many he asked questions since then, to answer his curiosity.
“From one of friends in class Bang Hugo time SMA.”
“Ooh.”
“You heard the story?”
“Mau banaggeeett!”
“This is the story, he said, his mother is in the hospital. Incidentally, his mother's doctor was his father Ibram. He said Ibram was there that day. He has his own special assignment. Maybe he started learning that time by helping a little activity in the hospital. Suddenly the nurse told her friend Bang Hugo's mom, Ibram's dad had the youngest child and was often on TV, but not a celebrity. When asked back what? Unfortunately, nurses know only that. No more.”
“Happy!”Abel looked worried thinking about it. His ten fingers clenched.
“Iya, right? Especially Bang Hugo. Even all the friends in Bang Hugo's class. I think we want to follow Ibram back to school secretly. But we are not biaa. We have to respect his privacy. Be, we classmate agree, so that no one dares to offend it in front of Ibram.”
“Means Ibram never knew this story in the least?”
“Fast! Ibram never knew the story. That's where the beginning of this story appeared, when the mother of his schoolmates became his father's patients at that time. Consider it Ibram kecolongan and on the other hand we are lucky.”
Abel immediately chuckled at hearing that.
“Seru, right?”
“Iya! But in retrospect, Doctor Ibram kept too many secrets.” Abel said slowly but still could be heard by Hugo, so the man responded.
Hugo did not immediately confirm Abel's words. “He must have shared if we really have the intention to ask. He seems mysterious, maybe the effect of irit talk.”
“Should Bang Hugo ask questions from the first.”
“Bang Hugo is not the type of person who likes to make and ask a lot of questions, Bang Hugo prefers Ibram willing to tell stories directly.”
“Iya. But Bang Hugo so do not know who Bang Hugo's friends so far.”
“Honestly, Bang Hugo is more disinclined by Ibram.”
“Iya, anyway.”Abel mangosteen seemed to agree.
“Oya, done that day, you same Ibram to where?”
“Ooh that... Doctor Ibram take Abel to the hospital. And Abel met Ray. Fortunately Abel managed to escape, the same day Abel doctor Ibram went to the Thousand Islands. But even apes!” Remembering Ray, Abel's face quickly turned upset.
“Why? Any problems?”
“It's war the name is not a problem anymore, Bang!”Abel hit the cushion of the sofa underneath with his fist.
“OK. Relax, relax.”Hugo moved from his seat to the refrigerator to get a drink. Then Hugo put it on the front desk of Abel.“Try the story slowly. ”
Abel took a long breath. “So yesterday afternoon, brother Ray suddenly appeared on the island of Hope. That Abis he forced Abel home. I'm gonna have to hit Ibram again. Yaudah, from the storm, finally Abel nurut aja.” Obviously with a face.
“Later Bang Hugo spoke with Ibram about your problems. Okay?”Hugo tried to calm the angry Abel.
Abel could only nod with force.
“Bang Hugo and Afreni will also talk to Ray and Cindy. Don't worry.”Hugo again convinced Abel.
“Bang Hugo tell you all, so that they do not interfere with Abel's life! Abel's life can only be arranged by the Almighty, Abel's parents, and Abel himself.”
“OK. You just calm down. Yes?”
“Iya”
The attention of the two turned when they saw Afreni's shadow emerge from the direction of the stairs visible on the door glass.
The woman smilingly greeted Hugo and Abel who also immediately turned to face the door. Afreni went in and sat down next to Abel while putting the lunchbox on the table.
“Long time, Bel?”
“Udah half an hour like, Kak.”
“Ooh. Are you healthy?”
“Lumayan.”
“Thank God Reni is relieved. You came alone?”
“Iya.”
Afreni mangosteen.“To the house, yuk? Brother Reni bored also alone there all day.”
Abel looked surprised and confused as to what to answer.
“Colah. Look at Bang Hugo's new home with Reni.”Afreni also clasped Abel's wrist.
Abel looked at Hugo for a moment who was given a nodding response by the man instantly, looking unconcerned. Finally Abel accepted Afreni's invitation, the two immediately left the workshop together, down the road two meters wide with a layer of not so thick asphalt. Passing through the SMA building, even some shop-house buildings, minimarkets, pharmacies and meatballs traders.
Two hundred meters away for ten minutes, Afreni and Abel finally arrived at their destination.
