SYAHDU (Contract Sleep Friends)
The Heart of Women

Arga intends to go upstairs, to his room to continue sleeping when his mother has also entered the room. But his steps were held back because Margaret called him.

"Here's a minute. Oma wants to talk."

The old woman sat on the living room sofa. With glasses perched on his nose, he glanced at the tangled-faced Arga. The lack of sleep and the small debate in the car made him look lethargic.

"Hey, why is your face like that?" Ask Margaret before starting the core question.

"Lack of sleep, Oma. He said he wanted to talk. If there's none, Arga's going to go up."

Margaret shook her head. This kid is hard to control. Don't talk well, he won't care. Make everyone have to be patient and obey him instead of him running away again like before.

"Over the years, I have never taken care of what is already your business because I am confident in your ability about hospital management. But, yesterday Ima heard the hospital funds are thinning and the user is you. Can you explain it to oma?"

Arga was silent for a moment. He had expected that oma would ask about this. It was fortunate that only the two of them were there, because he also did not want his mother to know.

"For the treatment of Temen Arga, Oma. He's struggling funds and is being treated at our hospital. So, Arga's got all his needs free."

Margaret the mangosteen listened to Arga's reply. He believed in his grandson. It's just, he's curious about something.

"Who are you helping?"

"Shahdu. The girl that Arga brought here."

Margaret rounded her eyes. "He sick??"

"not her. But grandmother. Arga's just helping a little."

Margaret nodded again. Although what is meant by little Arga has almost reached one billion.

His grandson was willing to run out of hospital funds for the sake of his lover. Of course it made Margaret sure how much her grandson loved the girl.

"Then Arga will find a way to cover the funds, even though the hospital has not been short of funds, right." Arga again.

"Yes.set it as you please. Oma trusts you. Keep going, where's the room? Oma wants to look."

"Eh?" Hurriedly Arga raised ten of his fingers. "No need, Oma, no need to take a peek. Syahdu will be reluctant."

"But I want to see Syahdu again."

Arga scratched his head. Confused, he did not want to make the oma know Syahdu, especially if he knew his family story.

"Gini, Mom. Later, Arga will bring Syahdu here."

"That's right, you. Yesterday you lied to Oma when the phone told me to come with Syahdu, you are yes-iyain but did not come." Lady Margaret. He remembered a few days ago asking the grandson and his lover to come, but Arga did not come.

"Oma, Arga promised to bring Syahdu here. But I don't need to come to the hospital. Okay?"

Margaret nodded in agreement. "Call the oma as soon as possible, yes. Be careful if you lie again."

"Yes, Arga promised."

"When did you marry her?" Ask Margaret again.

"Huh? What marriage. Oma don't joke, our relationship is just a friend."

"But you like it, right?" Ledek Margaret's.

"He's Arga's classmate, oma. There are no likes. Anyway, yeah. Arga still remains with Arga's thoughts. Don't want to get married." Arga pressed the last sentence so Margaret could remember.

"Don't, dong. This oma is chirping with a great-grandchild. The house is empty, there is no contents. Oma's son is only one, Oma's grandson is also only one. When you don't want to get married. You want to stop the oma lineage, right?" Omel Margaret on Arga. The man just sighed. He would not be able to argue with his own omens.

"Once a monday it's Oma. Syahdu is a good woman. Oma can see that, you know. Nyesel you if not marry him because of your vague principle." Margaret's wrath continued. He wanted his grandson to continue his descent. Moreover, Arga is the only descendant he has.

"Yes, Oma. Ja. Arga ride first. So sleepy." Arga stood up and climbed the stairs.

"Remember, bring him here."

"Yes, Oma." Replied Arga as he continued to climb the stairs.

Arga only smiled as he shook his head at Margaret's chattering. Well, the old woman did consider Arga a good boy. Until Arga who never brought women, or told stories of women was considered because Arga did not want to marry in the future.

...🍁...

Syahdu held his grandmother's hand. Three hours after the operation, the grandmother still slept with a slow breath.

Wicak just got home. The man still had another job to do. He said, if he had time he would come again to accompany Syahdu to sleep in the hospital.

Tok.dok..

The door opened, a nearly half-century-old woman walked inside with a gentle smile, making Syahdu immediately stand up to welcome her.

"Auntie.."

"Shahdu.."

They hugged him for a while, and the woman gave him a basket of fruit and she told him to sit on the couch.

For a moment the woman watched the entire luxurious room where Syahdu and his grandmother were now. He was actually curious as to why they could rent such an expensive space.

"Syahdu, how's grandma doing?" Ask Minarti, Mother of the Clouds.

Syahdu's eyes lead to the grandmother who is still lying down with a breathing apparatus.

"Help me a prayer, aunt. Grandma has complications. One healed, another appeared." Syahdu eyes glistening again. Unable to endure sadness.

"Sure, aunt must be a doain. Aunty came here because Awan said, she said Syahdu and grandmother had moved here. Then, grandma went to the hospital. But aunt has time now. Sorry, Syahdu." Mina Clearly.

"That's okay, aunt. The clouds aren't coming, tan?"

"He was busy, he said, too. She just left with you, right?"

Syahdu nodded slowly. He's got a problem with Clouds, but that's why the Clouds don't want to go to the hospital.

"Aunty how are you? I haven't seen you in a long time. Good health, aunt. Awan said, Anton has a big company. Thank goodness, Aunt. Syahdu was happy to hear it." Syahdu. She remembered, Mina was one of the good women to her and grandmother.

"Well, that's it." Suddenly Mina's face became tangled. "You.. remember Riska?"

Syahdu was imprinted when Mina mentioned Riska. His mind immediately remembered when on the beach he saw Riska and Om Anton. Does this Cloud Mother already know? Her thought.

"Riska, your little friend. She.." Mina suddenly shed tears. "She became my husband's mistress."

Syahdu. His blood flow stopped. Turns out Mina already knew that her husband was playing with Riska. I don't know why Syahdu suddenly felt guilty.

"Why he got it. Does he not remember, he used to be small he always played at home. How butty.." Mina wiped her tears.

"Ah, sorry. Aunty so confided."

"Neverything, aunt." Syahdu gently stroked Mina's back. "eeee.. The clouds know about this, auntie?" Syahdu and Mina asked.

"Tante tau was also just last night. Not accidentally met when the aunt played with friends aunt. Aunt Anton and Riska walk in a mall. After auntie investigated, it turned out..." Mina could not continue her words. He covered his face with his hands, sobbing in memory of the incident last night.

Syahdu is speechless. Moreover, he already knew about this first. Apparently, the carcass covered will indeed smell. Will he be so too?

"Awan knows because of the sight of aunty crying at home. Aunt story finally. The clouds haven't left the room yet." Obviously Mina again.

"The cloud must be in shock, aunt."

Mina nodded. "Otherwise, Riska decided it was because of Awan's own father. Poor him.." Mina had never imagined that before. How can, her son's boyfriend become her own husband's affair.

"Trus.. Riska and Anton, how's aunt?" Syahdu was curious about Riska. Is that girl okay?

"Tante has expelled Awan's father. Aunty is not strong. aunty can not meet Riska." Speak with a loud voice.

Syahdu knows both Aunt Mina or Awan must be in severe shock at this time. Moreover Cloud. He must have been hard to accept his current state.

After telling a long story, Mina also returned home delivered Syahdu to the front. The woman's departure left a mark on Syahdu's heart. He could not describe his mood. Feeling guilty, also seeing the situation of Mina and Awan, making Syahdu constantly remember Wicak. Without her noticing, her tears again and again came out without her permission.
