40 Days
Chapter 5
Maura was moved to the usual inpatient hospital room in hospitalized patients, after being sure to completely recover and no longer need the help of tools in the ICU room.
Ever since his consciousness returned, Maura had never spoken much. The 19-year-old girl daydreams more often. He only spoke as necessary as it was if Khadija Mother invited him to speak.
From the ICU room to the inpatient room must pass through several corridors of the Hospital. Maura was lying on a gurney pushed by two nurses, while Khadijah followed them from behind.
Maura sometimes closed her eyes but she sometimes opened her eyes and looked around the corridor she passed.
Maura's gaze was empty, either because she had just regained consciousness from a coma or something else made her like that.
Her clumsily heard strange noises every time it passed through several corridors. The familiar voices he had heard while still lying in a coma, his soul was in another dimension in this Hospital. He is between life and death. His subconscious who experienced terrible things, until now Maura can still remember every incident that he had experienced at that time.
Arriving in a room that is quite spacious, Maura was immediately placed in a bed that lined the room.
Some patients were there and some people were waiting for their sick families.
The atmosphere there was slightly different from the state in Maura's subconscious. A hospital room that none of the patients were in, but now everything looks normal. Although Maura was surprised by some parts in the room.
The brown curtains and the beds that line up there are very familiar to him. Exactly the same as the one in his subconscious at the time. Different her at this time there are patients who are treated in nature that no one but her self.
Maura who was already lying down started to circulate her gaze, she glanced to the side. A curtain was tightly closed next to her.
Maura recalled the incident when she saw a woman there, although the incident occurred when she was in a coma but she was still sure if there was something strange there. Moreover, his current position was exactly the same as the incident he experienced when his soul was lost in another realm.
Khadijah was already sitting on the chair next to the bed, he was busy putting his and Maura's belongings.
Maura's restless face astonished Khadija, she was worried if her daughter felt pain in her body.
'' Why are you, son ? Is anyone sick or do you want me to call a doctor ? '' asked Khadijah who began to move from sitting intending to call the Doctor.
'' Do not ma'am, prevent Maura while holding Khadijah's arm.
Maura glanced at the curtain cubicle next to her, then looked back at her mother.
Khadijah followed the direction of Maura's eyeball, he knitted both eyebrows trying to understand Maura's movements that still looked agitated.
'' I-I feel familiar in this room, said Maura quietly.
'' Really ? Hmm.maybe because you've been in this room before. But at that time you were not aware, Khadijah again scrunched his forehead.
'' When the accident occurred, the victims were taken to this Hospital. But the ER room is full and some patients are treated in this room including you. Then you are transferred to the ICU after being confirmed to be in a coma, said Khadijah while daydreaming to remember the incident at that time.
When the police informed him of the accident that happened to his daughter, he immediately went to the Hospital indicated by the police.
At that time the Hospital said that the ER room was filled with other patients besides accident victims, so some patients were diverted to the room. Considering the accident victims alone are very numerous.
Khadijah found Maura who had been unconscious, for hours the Doctor handled her but Maura's condition was getting weaker until the Doctor said if Maura was in a coma and needed to be treated in the ICU room.
'' Ma'am..in the next room there's his patient ? '' maura asked slightly pointing her index finger at the room and then clenched her arm which felt trembling considering the terrible figure she had seen.
'' It seems empty, son, why ? '' Khadijah was more astonished by Maura's attitude, he then stood up to reveal a little curtain of the room.
'' It's okay, Maura immediately threw her gaze in the other direction as Khadijah revealed the curtain as if she was traumatized by fear of looking back at the monstrous female figure.
'' Medina and Jeni where's Mom ? They are treated here too ? '' maura asked remembering her two best friends.
Khadijah was silent for a moment staring gently at his daughter, she sat back in the chair next to the bed.
'' They've gone, son, God has called them both. Jeni died at the scene, while Medina was brought here. He was placed in the front bed there, but he could not survive because the injuries suffered were quite heavy. Medina exhaled her last breath after before she had regained consciousness first, Khadijah said with a faint look, her eyes began to glaze over.
Maura gasped to hear Khadijah's words, she saw the bed that was on her side. Currently, the bed is occupied by another patient. He recalled the incident when Medina appeared before him, it was fitting that Medina looked so pale that she had been gone for so long.
Maura cried sobbing considering his two best friends, he did not expect his departure for a vacation in his hometown would end tragically like this. That day was the last meeting for them, it was really difficult for Maura.
Even he experienced things that he had never experienced before. A world between life and death.
Maura remembered every word Medina said to her. About Jeni who brought her family home, it indicates if Jeni's body was brought home.
Medina also said Jeni is fine, she's right Jeni may have calmed down in her nature. Medina also gave her advice to fight to stay alive, while she was gone. He went for long.
Khadijah gently rubbed Maura's arm, both of them crying over the departure of Jeni and Medina. If Maura knew that she would never see Medina again, she would probably hug her best friend's body one last time. In the state of Medina who only lives the soul still continues to guide and accompany her, several times saving her from the interference of other subtle creatures. Medina was Maura's best friend, her departure left a deep wound.
