ANTERIOR

ANANTARA - 36 Is Too Late!

The siren ambulance was deafening, a gurney descending with a tiny body that was now lying limp with blood. Aisyah came down from the car, stepped quickly following the gurney that was pushed into the Hospital.

"Ali, son, dear Ali must be strong well son," said Aisyah several times while holding a small hand that feels cold.

Aisyah can now only look at the figure of her son who is being handled by medical personnel, her heart feels racing, her breathing hunts incoherently.

He was terrified, his legs and hands shaking uncontrollably from everything that had happened. Aisyah limbung, not strong enough to withstand the tightness in her chest.

Fortunately, a hand swiftly restrained Aisyah's body.

"Dad, wakeful!"

Aisyah turned her head, looking at the face that was now staring at her worriedly, the tears that had dried up were now back pouring out.

"Mas, please Mas, save Ali Mas, Mas Rizal can definitely save Ali Mas,"

Aisyah pleaded, shaking the body of the man who could now only look at her with a look of pity.

"Aisyah, calm yourself down, Ali is in charge. You have to be calm and patient, we pray that Ali is okay,"

Rizal stared at the two empty-looking eyeballs, trying to calm him down. Aisyah looked so pitiful, she turned to look at her son who was still surrounded by many medical personnel.

With endless tears, the clothes that were now decorated with red stains, made people immediately look at him with pity.

Rizal tried to bring Aisyah to sit down, calming herself down first.

Before long, the nurse told him that if Ali had to get surgery quickly, without saying much Aisyah nodded in agreement, she just wanted her son to be safe.

Now, Aisyah could only sit limp, staring at the closed door. Can't see his son now fighting alone against the pain in there.

"How did this happen?" ask Rizal.

Aisyah lowered her head, not firmly raising her face to look at Rizal.

He shook his head, "I-I don't know Mas, it happened so fast, Ali suddenly pushed me, made me fall to the side of the road, saw it-"

His voice choked, recalling what had happened. Seeing that his son was hit in front of his own eyes, was heartbreaking.

"He did it because I was Mas, A-ali got hit because I, a-I couldn't take care of him Mas," Aisyah kept crying, cursing at him who couldn't look after her son.

Rizal exhaled heavily, he ventured to sit beside Aisyah.

"Don't blame yourself like that, Ali did it for loving his Umma. I'm sure, Ali must be strong, he can get through this for his Umma." said Rizal.

The operating door opened, revealing the nurse who now looked anxious.

"Sorry ma'am, we need a blood donor as soon as possible, is there a family of patients who have the same blood type as the patient?" The sister asked with an anxious look.

Aisyah who heard that made him panic, he quickly thought, who has the same family as Ali.

"Mas Adam!"

Aisyah recalled that Adam had the same blood type as Ali, she quickly reached into her bag, looking for the flat object to immediately contact her husband.

***

On the other hand, Erika was silent in the car, calming herself down.

Erika is surprised to see Ali suddenly appear next to Aisyah, she intends to stop her car, but it is too late.

Finally the collision was inevitable, the tiny body was bounced forward, making Erika slammed into the front of the steering wheel as it tried to step on the brakes. Erika was fixated, looking at Ali from the windshield of her car, looking at her husband's son who was now lying unconscious with blood flowing from his head.

Erika's hand shook, afraid to see what she had done. His breathing was stingy irregularly, he looked around, not many people saw this incident.

With a little awareness, Erika just turned back her car, then stepped on the gas to escape her actions.

Erika now ruffled her hair in frustration, remembering what she had just done, she kept looking left and right, afraid that someone would follow her.

"No! no way, I can't hit that boy!" murmured Erika, trying to dodge her actions.

"I-I didn't accidentally, after all nobody saw, they definitely didn't know!"

Erika tried to calm herself down, hoping that no one would know of her vile deeds.

"DANKSH!"

Erika screamed in pain, feeling a pain that was now running through her stomach. He squeezed his stomach, enduring the unbearable pain.

Erika's eyes were rounded, feeling a liquid coming down to her feet, she quickly lowered her head, confirming what was happening.

Erika choked, looking at the blood now adorning her legs. Erika shook her head, not believing what was happening.

"Ng-gga, no way! why am I bleeding like this!"

"Akhc!"

With trembling hands, Erika tried to grab her bag, looking for a cell phone to call her husband immediately.

"Mas, pick up Mas!"

Erika was frustrated at him, Adam never raised his call.

"Mas! lift Mas!"

***

Now, Adam is busy meeting with his client, because this client is one of his important clients. Adam has chosen silent mode on his phone.

To make him not know, if now his two wives are struggling to save their son and future children.

The phone continued to vibrate, but Adam did not heed it at all, he just focused on undergoing this meeting session calmly and peacefully.

Adam rushes to check his cell phone, seeing the many missed calls from the two women that mean so much in his life.

Clearly Adam was now confused, he became concerned about what was happening, thus making the two hunt contact him.

Adam tried to open the message, but one call came in, making Adam just pick it up.

"Mas! Mas please Mas,"

Adam was surprised, he frowned, listening clearly to what his wife was saying.

"Why? where are you now?" Adam got up from his seat, ready to leave after hearing his reply from one of his wives.

"Deliver! give me the car keys!"

Adam received the keys, he just went to drive his car with an anxious heart.

When Adam was on the road, he saw his car parked on the side of the road. Adam quickly ran over, looking at Erika who was now sitting limp in the car.

"ARIKA!" adam shouted, surprised to see the condition of his helpless wife.

"Mas, please Mas, save our future child Mas," Erika said limp with tears that now wet her cheeks.

Adam swiftly brought Erika into his lap. Taking him into the car, he just drove his car, splitting the road to the hospital.

Along the way, Adam's cell phone was constantly vibrating, signaling an incoming call.

However, panicked and anxious about Erika's situation, Adam ignored the call and turned his focus to Erika.

Without Adam knowing, if now he is ignoring a call that will decide the life of his little son.

Aisyah riled up, she continued to make the call several times, hoping that Adam would pick her up.

"Mas! pick up, where are you!" Aisyah looks frustrated, she panicked when one of the doctors came out of the operating room, asking for news about her blood donation.

Rizal tried to move forward, he asked one of his Doctor's friends what blood donation was needed. However, whatever power Rizal can not help for this time.

Blood donation for patients with blood type O is difficult, they can transfuse blood to many other blood goals, but cannot receive transfusions from other blood types, other than blood type O.

"I'll try to announce, hopefully, that there's one person in this hospital who has the same blood type."

Rizal runs, trying to find someone who can donate his blood. Aisyah Kemabli was sitting limp, there was anger and disappointment to see the name of her husband that continues to be listed on the screen of her phone.

"Why don't you pick up? Ali needs you Mas," said Aisyah.

***

Adam walked while holding Erika into the hospital, he immediately asked the nurse for help.

Erika was immediately transferred to the gurney, she was taken to the action room because of her bleeding.

Adam can now only stand, seeing Erika who is being handled medically, he constantly prays that Erika and her future children are okay.

In fact, there is a child who now needs him, needs his Abi figure. In the same hospital, Adam does not know if his son is struggling alone to maintain his life.

Adam continued to focus on accompanying Erika, ignoring all the calls that were constantly coming into her phone.

"Sorry, the fetus that was in Erika's birth could not be saved."

Erika and Adam suddenly relaxed, hearing the doctor's words saying that his future son had now left.

The collision that occurred when Erika stepped on the brake earlier made her stomach hit a little hard in front of the steering wheel. Now, Erika immediately got her reply, getting a reply for making someone else's child hurt.

Erika was pensive, silent looking down at her stomach. He clenched in annoyance, "This is all because of Aisha! if she hadn't shown up in front of me, I wouldn't have lost my baby!"

Erika sat down, blaming everything on Aisha, without her knowing if her actions had also made a mother lose her child.

True, Ali cannot be saved.

Aisha fell at the door of the operation, her body was instantly limp, tears could no longer come out, her life seemed to stop, hearing the doctor's words telling her that her son was now gone for all eternity.

Crushed,

Destroyed everything, Aisyah could no longer think clearly. He could now only fall silent, trying to neutralize all the events that happened so quickly.

His head felt empty, no longer able to think, no matter what he had to do now.

Rizal, who had just received news, immediately ran back to the operating room.

There, he saw Aisyah who was now sitting helplessly, the two Doctors in front of him could only bow down apologizing, being concerned about what had happened.

Rizal fell silent, only able to stare at the woman's back with a sad look. There was no courage to get close, his legs were heavy to step on.

Though at this time, Rizal was eager to run and bring Aisyah's body into his arms, calming the broken woman.

However, whatever the power, Rizal is quite understanding and self-conscious who he is. Rizal could only silently observe Aisyah from afar, hoping that the woman he loved could strongly accept all of this.

From a distance, we heard footsteps approaching. He turned his head, saw the new Adam coming after everything was done, there was nothing he could change, his delay made one poignant memory that Aisyah could never forget.

"Dear of it!"

Adam stepped closer, trying to bring Aisha into his arms. He was very surprised by all the calls and messages he had just read a moment ago.

He ran away hoping he could still save his son.

But, uh,

"It's too late Mas" Aisyah said in a heartbreaking tone.
