"Doctor!"

Robby's screams echoed through the hospital corridor, panicking as she carried Mama Reni in her arms while Glenca followed behind her.

"Doctor! Help me!"

Robby shouted again so that a doctor and medical team immediately ran over to Robby.

"Please my mom, Doc," Robby said in a panic.

"Father calm down first, Sister please take the patient's stool and prepare the room now," the doctor told the nurse there.

Shortly afterwards some sisters came to bring the hospital bunker and put Mama Reni to bed there, after which they all brought Mama Reni into one of the rooms.

"So you just wait here, we'll deal with Mama Reni immediately" said the doctor who made Robby silent at the door of the room.

Robby paced back and forth in frustration in front of the room, Glenca grabbed Robby's arm and tried to calm him down.

"Patience well, I'm sure Aunt Reni will not be okay," said Glenca invite Robby to sit there.

"Hopefully the old man died after her husband, so there will be no more disturbing and obstructing my relationship with Robby," Glenca smiled sinisterly as she hugged Robby.

Robby is really frustrated to see Mama Reni's condition, especially now that Robby only has Mama Reni's side in her life, because she is an only child.

Long in a condition of waiting for certainty by the doctor who handled Mama Reni, finally the doctor came out who made Robby and Glenca immediately stand up.

"Doc? How is my mom?" asked Robby trying to ask Mama Reni's condition.

"Reni's mother was okay, just a mild heart attack, and she was awake" the doctor told Robby.

"Alhamdulillah," Robby breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that his mother was doing well. "Can I see him Doc?"

The doctor nodded, Robby and Glenca immediately went into the room to meet Mama Reni who had awakened, Robby immediately walked holding Mama Reni's hand.

"Mama? Mama, right?" ask Robby to the silent Mama Reni.

"Who are you!" Mama Reni brushed off Robby's hand.

"Easy! Why do you apologize if you're still in a relationship with that woman, you've even hurt the heart of a mother who conceived you nine months after a woman you think is good," mama Reni said. "Mama is disappointed with you Robby, Mama feels guilty with your Papa, Mama feels like she wants to catch up with Papa and talk to Papa if Mama has failed to maintain our child's domestic relationship."

Robby. "Sorry Robby Ma, but it's Robby's decision."

"Pursue all your wishes Robby, you don't have to worry about Mama, you better get out of here, the presence of you two even makes Mama more stressed and sick, he said, or do you really want Mama to die?"

"Sorry Robby,"

Robby pulls Glenca's hand and walks out of the room, after Robby's departure, Mama Reni seems to cry in disappointment at having reneged on a promise with her late husband that Robby and Dikta's marriage is always okay.

"Susters? Can you get me my phone, in the bag?" pinta Mama Reni to a sister who was in there.

The nurse nodded then took the phone in Mama Reni's bag, after giving it to Mama Reni, Mama Reni seemed to call someone who turned out to be Dikta.

"Dictated? Mama's in the hospital, baby, can you get Mama here?"

•

Robby and Glenca are still sitting in the waiting room actually Glenca is bored there and wants to take Robby home alone but Robby does not want to with the reason of wanting to keep Mama Reni.

Soon there were panicked footsteps running from a hijab-wearing woman who turned out to be Dikta.

"Bang Robby? Which mama?"

Robby stand. "Would you like to come here?"

Dikta did not answer, he tried to enter Mama Reni's room but was detained by Robby.

"Don't you tell Mama Reni about me yelling at you so you deliberately get Mama's heart disease to recur?" robby accused Dikta. "Basar you cheap woman! You better get out of here!"

Dikta fell silent, Robby's sentence really pierced his heart so now Robby and Dikta's eyes only met each other's eyes with Dikta who held back tears.
