The Midnight Radio
Episode 62

"Steak!" seruku while running over to Raylen Tea. Seen on the waiting bench, Mama Remi was crying.

"Why, Tea?" ask me with intermittent breathing.

"So, once Teteh finished calling you on broadcast, Remi had a heart attack. It's so fucked up. Many doctors alike nurses running around. Remi's condition is very poor, Xu. Even his ECG line was straight a sign of cardiac arrest. Two doctors took turns with CPR (heart massage) and Remi returned.

And a while ago, once the doctor was out of the ICU. The nurse reported that there was a move from Remi. They are still in Dalem. That's why Teteh called you."

I breathed a sigh of relief, though not completely. At least, Remi was in a state of motion a moment ago.

Nyx and the others were already sitting on the waiting bench. Gia accompanied Remi's mother who was still crying and I walked towards the ICU door. Remi's figure surrounded by doctors and nurses made me back to training.

"Rem, healthy again yuk? Can you, huh? Don't leave me now. Especially besides your family, me, Gia, and friends at Radio Rebel, there is also Nyx who is waiting for you," I whispered softly.

Bang Win walked towards me and held my shoulder slowly. "Want to mushola? I am a temenin," he asked.

I nodded after earlier looking at the clock on my phone. While saying goodbye to others, Gia and Mama Remi also wanted to come with us to the mosque.

"𝙆𝙚𝙩𝙞𝙠𝙖 𝙠𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙖𝙖𝙣 𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙨𝙖 𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙩 𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙪𝙠 𝙙𝙞𝙝𝙖𝙙𝙖𝙥𝙞, 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙝 𝙠𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙣 𝙙𝙖𝙣 𝙠𝙚𝙠𝙪𝙖𝙩𝙖𝙣 𝙡𝙚𝙬𝙖𝙩 𝙙𝙤𝙖. 𝙎𝙖𝙖𝙩 𝙨𝙚𝙢𝙪𝙖 𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙨𝙖 𝙨𝙚𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣 𝙨𝙪𝙡𝙞𝙩, 𝙩𝙚𝙩𝙖𝙥 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙘𝙖𝙮𝙖 𝙟𝙞𝙠𝙖 𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙪 𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙞𝙩 𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙡𝙪 𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙗𝙪𝙠𝙖 𝙡𝙚𝙗𝙖𝙧 𝙙𝙖𝙣 𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙮𝙖 𝙙𝙤𝙖 𝙮𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙢𝙖𝙢𝙥𝙪 𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙪𝙨𝙣𝙮𝙖"

I always remember the advice my mom used to say. Yes, when things get tough, the sky's door will always be open.

My tears came down without my command as I pleaded for Remi's recovery. Although man lives by carrying his own destiny, the power of prayer is no less powerful and I believe in this.

For a long time, I squealed and begged until my feet felt numb. The Quran indicates that the dawn is coming soon. Still wearing mukena, I stood and leaned against the mushola wall to unwind a little.

"Xu," said Gia who was sitting next to me. "Wait for our dawn?"

I just nodded and closed my eyes. Gia told me that Mama Remi had returned to the ICU with Raylen Tea while I was still praying.

"You were so ugly that you were on a rampage at the police station" said Gia.

"Biarin, I've been sniffing. There could be people, already evil to others, eh still grinning. It's different if he looks like Niesel. This is mah boro-boro" I replied slowly.

"Patience, you like that. Pendiem, but once emotions can mele*dak-le*dak."

We were waiting for a while when my phone rang. The Raylen Tea.

"Xu! Thank goodness, Xu! Remi is conscious!" he said that as I called. I was stunned for a few moments before making a prostration of gratitude and then rose to run outside the mosque still wearing mukena and left Gia.

"Xu! Don't miss it," cried Gia to see me running.

I ran along the hospital corridor and surprised some of the patient waiters, doctors, and nurses who passed me because of the fluttering of mucus. Istigfar's cry is behind me.

Without caring about it all, I kept running until my breath was tight and stopped right in front of the door of the ICU room where I saw that Teh Raylen and Mama Remi were in the room and rubbed Remi's forehead lie down.

"Xu!" exclaiming Gia who came to follow with my bag and shoes. "Bikin surprised to run away! Where I thought the devil was the same people. They were reading taawudz when I passed by to chase you!"

"Remi is conscious" I said slowly.

"Huh?"

"Remi is conscious" I said.

"Woi, it used to be a mukena," reprimanded Nyx who just came from behind with Bang Win and Kang Utep.

"Remi's sober," I told her.

"Udah know," replied Nyx short. "Eh mending back to mushola aja first there, it's dawn. Let me wait here."

I looked at him with narrowed eyes.

"Udah, there," he said again.

"Bang Win pinjem sandals," I said. He immediately released his head.

"Utep Gang," call Gia.

"Yes-yes, nih use," replied Kang Utep exhaling while releasing the sandal he was wearing.

"I deliberately left a little early because in the group chat Gia said to come early to copy the file recording call from Kapolsek. Kasian, maybe Gia's afraid of being alone in the studio. If Xu 'is an ordinary person to come early because he is with A Nyx, '" Remi told me after she moved to the treatment room in the afternoon. Me, Gia and the others went home after looking at Remi after the dawn prayer.

"A Nyx? Aa?" askaku.

Gia grunts and Remi looks misbehaved.

"That's a damn damn damn good thing. I can't know if you're with Nyx Deket" I murmured. "Do I have to call you brother-in-law now, Rem?"

"You want to continue with no story?" ask Remi back.

"That's it!" I said "How are you going?"

"Pas just departed, I already felt followed by two people using one motorbike, worse I even took a quiet cutoff road with the hope of nyampe. Uh, stop them right away. If they want to call, yes I hold. That's my bike. If the motorbike is teteh later can not work, I think so. They were getting faster, until I finally shouted, they even go*lok. Yes, I have to," Remi's story.

Gia and I heard the story so tense that they unconsciously held their breath.

"You're reckless with the gravestone anyway!" myrag.

"Yes, I am his life. So as much as possible maintain the only valuable object. I don't think they'll be reckless until ngeba*cok. Thought I they'd run away if I yelled."

"You should have let go. Treasures can be sought, lives not," I grumbled. "How much the price of a motorbike, let ntar buy one."

"Have, Xu! You are just mediocre, really style want to buy a motorbike. Though your mama same A Nyx sufficed, you're aja prestige don't want to ngerepotin them."

I smile. That's Remi, she knew exactly that I was financing myself without the interference of mama and Nyx. "Who said I'd buy you a motorbike, who?" askaku. "I'm just saying buyin, but I'm not buying it."

"Keep who?" ask Remi.

"Gia. Noh, he's a rich kid!" seruku looked at Gia who patted her forehead slowly.

Gia's behavior makes me and Remi laugh. I slowly hugged Remi who was still laughing followed by Gia. "Make the Brake, it's fine."
