Chapter 37 - Eating Together

Danil put his arm around Jelita's shoulder while walking in the hospital corridor, while he used his other hand to carry their lunch. Jelita's hands hugged Danil's waist tightly, although the difference in their height was very obvious, they still looked very cute.

After a few minutes of walking they arrived at the VVIP room where Ronald was staying.

"Assalamualaikum."

"Waalaikumsalam."

The door was opened from the inside, a middle-aged woman with a navy-colored hijab greeted her warmly.

"Mom... Jelita misses you." Jelita hugged her mother tightly and then kissed the cheeks of the woman who had given birth to her. Danil followed by kissing his mother-in-law's hand.

"Come on in, it took you so long, luckily Mama didn't faint from being hungry."

"Lebay, how can mommy at the hospital just stay quiet and not bring snacks, mustahiiilll .." said Jelita chiming in on her mother's words.

"How are you Ronald?" Greeted Jelita when she reached the side of the bed where Ronald sat leaning on the head of the bed.

"Thank God, how about you?" Ronald replied trying to relax even though he was actually hiding the pain in his heart seeing Danil and Jelita who looked happy.

"Hi Ronald." Who is Daniel

"Hi, Dan.. how's the construction of our apartment on island B?" Ronald asked, they are indeed involved in the construction of an apartment on island B.

"Everything goes smoothly, hopefully there will be no significant obstacles during construction, so the apartment construction can be realized quickly." Ronald answered while sitting his ass next to Jelita.

"We'll talk about business later, now let's eat first, mommy's already hungry." Protest the mother.

"Alah, Mama has been eating all the time, Jel, how could she be hungry." Ronald said trying to familiarize himself with Jelita.

"Jelita already guessed it." answered Jelita trying to do the same thing.

"Yes, you have prepared the food first, I will pray for a while."

"Yes, you prayed first. And, let mom prepare the food, don't you join the Jel prayer?"

"Jelita has prayed at Ma's office, it was time for Danil to wait."

"Oh okay."

"Mas Danil just pray here." Jelita said when she saw Danil was about to leave the room, Jelita was worried about Danil, she was afraid that someone would follow them to the hospital.

"Yes, you can pray here, you don't need to go out, Mama brings prayer tools over there, you can use Mama's prayer rug." Mama Jelita said while pointing to a place near Ronald's bed.

"Yes, pray here." Ronald said

"Good." Danil turned and walked towards the toilet in Ronald's room to perform ablution, not long after he came out of the toilet with a fresh face because he had washed the ablution water.

Danil performed the midday prayer solemnly, Jelita and her mother prepared their lunch, after that the mother walked over to Ronald to help Ronald down into the wheelchair so he could enjoy eating together on the sofa in the room.

Ronald really felt Danil's change, Danil who used to be far from religion, has now turned into a human who obeys God's teachings, judging by the way Danil prays, Ronald knows Danil has really changed, Then what about him who still hasn't moved on from Danil ? although he also tries to bury his memories with Danil, and who knows when he can return to being like a normal man.

Ronald took a deep breath and then his gaze turned to a middle-aged woman with a veil that dangled beautifully around the old woman's body, there was a coolness and peace when she looked at her face, she again felt a mother's love, the only reason she joined psychological therapy was because of her. want her to be happy, with her no longer loving her daughter-in-law, and one more source of strength for her is her father and sister.

Danil has finished praying, and now he is sitting next to Jelita again, while Ronald is sitting next to Mama Jelita.

"Let's eat, Ronald want to eat alone or mama feed?"

"Feed it." Ronald said spoiled, but it surprised Jelita and Danil, even Danil who was sipping mineral drink immediately choked on it.

"Cough Cough.."

"Slowly drinking mas." Jelita said reminding Danil.

"Since when did you get so spoiled, huh?" Danil asked Ronald in a mocking tone.

"Ever since you fell in love with Jelita, you don't remember that you have a friend who is dying, and needs attention, fortunately there is mama, try it or not." Ronald answered while holding back his hurt feelings, maybe if other people saw Ronald's words were words of protest to his best friend but not for Jelita, and Danil they knew very well what Ronald's words meant.

"I'm busy taking care of your project, just so you know." Danil replied sarcastically

"Yes, busy, as long as you don't forget Jelita because you are busy." Ronald replied no less cynically.

"You've eaten first, later fight after eating." Mama Jelita interceded, while putting a spoonful of rice and side dishes into Ronald's mouth.

While Jelita just looked at the two men alternately, there was a feeling of relief when she saw Danil busy taking his food without paying attention to Ronald who was looking at him.

Jelita understands Ronald's feelings that it will not be easy to remove Danil from her heart, but Jelita also doesn't want the two men to get back together, Jelita wants Ronald to be able to find a woman who truly loves him, and Ronald loves her too. only prayer that she always said for Ronald and her husband so they wouldn't go back to being gay.

When they were eating lunch together, suddenly the door opened, and a handsome face appeared from behind the door.

"Assalamualaikum."

"Waalaikumsalam." They answered at the same time.

"Eh, the little boy, who are you here with?"

"Yes ma'am." Rey replied while kissing her adoptive mother's hand and kissing her mother's cheeks. Then he took the fried chicken from the table, but when he was about to eat it the chicken had changed hands.

"Wash your hands first, habit."

"You really can't, Jel... Don't know what other people are hungry for?" Rey said as she walked towards the sink not far from where they were sitting.

"It's your habit, Rey, already having a future wife is still dirty."

"What's wrong mom?" avoid Rey.

"Prospective Wife? You've moved on from Farida, so now you have a new girl?"

"Who else is Farida? How come Mama doesn't know."

"That's a girl who was close to Rey ma, but unfortunately that girl was matched by her parents."

"You're not fast enough." Her mother said.

"So have you ever been heartbroken?" Ronald asked while chewing his food.

"Then who will be Danil's brother-in-law?" Daniel asked a little teasingly.

"What are you guys doing? You've eaten something that's easy, you don't have to be tough," Rey said angrily and grabbed the plate that Jelita was holding.

"What are you doing Rey, it's food I know!"

"I'm so stupid, I'm hungry." Rey replied then spooned the food from the plate he had snatched from Jelita's hand.

"Come on, let's be together, let's just let it be for Babang Rey."

Rey stuck her tongue out at Jelita, and her adoptive sister gave her a sharp glare, while her mother just shook her head because that's how the two of them were, even if at home Rey and Jelita didn't hesitate to eat one plate together. indeed a romantic brother and sister.

Danil feeds Jelita patiently, once again it makes Ronald's heart feel sad again, although on the other hand he is grateful that Danil has been able to accept Jelita, the girl who has always loved Danil since she was little.

I don't know how long Ronald will have to fight to get rid of his love for Danil, Ronald only hopes that Danil and Jelita will always be happy.
