That night, the sky was bright enough to be studded with many stars. The online car, which Dania ordered, drove through the streets of Malang quickly, and stopped at a private hospital IGD.
As soon as it came down, Dania screamed loudly for help. Two sisters ran in a hurry while pushing Brankar, helping Zahra who was cowering in pain to hold her stomach.
“Mbak, fill up the registration form first yes.” The security guard pointed at the table in the corner of the IGD.
“Thank you, Sir.” Not yet he heaved a sigh of relief, Dania again ran a small approach to the registration table.
“Can you show the patient identification, Ma'am?” ask the officer without saying anything.
Dania was seen reaching into a small bag that she was carrying, then took out Zahra's ID card. It takes a few minutes for the officer to fill in the patient data, also asking some petty questions.
Self or insurance?
Did the patient have a previous history of surgery?
Any drug or antibiotic allergies?
Not ten minutes. Dania had already left the registration table and was beside Zahra. Several times rubbing sweat on the forehead that is still profusely pouring. Apparently, the AC in the room is not able to dry it.
“These are the patients?” ask a female nurse who came while carrying the infusion and equipment.
“Themes, Sus.”
The nurse looked around, then asked for Zahra's husband.
“Where's the temperature, Ma'am?”
“Dinas out of town, Sus. Can I be his guardian?”
The nurse was silent for a moment, preferring to focus on inserting the needle into the blood-breathing Zahra. After making sure the infusion needle came in properly, the new nurse answered Dania's question.
“On contact can ngak, Mbak? Or I ask the Doctor first, yes.”
Dania was a little curious. As long as he accompanies his friend to the IGD, he can always be the guardian of the patient. So, why now it sounds like ‘can't’?
While watching her best friend get medicine, Dania's hands are agile to play the phone. Sending a message to the group, also informing Abram. There were at least 30 calls he tried. Starting from regular phone calls, to Whatsapp calls. He also sent a message, but there was no response. In the midst of Dania's panic, the guard doctor who handled Zahra, came to them.
“Suami can already be contacted?” tanyakanya.
Dania and Zahra compactly shook their heads. The doctor is seen sighing deeply, then trying to ask about Zahra's parents or relatives.
“She's an only child, Doc. His parents are in the suburbs, if here also need two hours.” Obviously Dania petrified Zahra speaking.
“On the phone alone is enough, the important thing is we get permission.”
Dania and Zahra looked at each other. At the time, they had the same thought. Could Zahra be suffering from a chronic illness? Or something dangerous like ....?
“This friend of mine can't, Doc? Afraid later my parents are anxious, they are old.” Clearly Zahra was trying to gather strength to speak.
“Begini, Mom. I indicated the presence of appendicitis, if severe should be immediately in operation. This is just a formality anyway, the important family or husband is okay.”
Deghs
Zahra's heart stopped for a moment.
The operation?
His mind was crumbling, he could not even imagine the feeling of fear he was facing. Moreover, she had to go through everything on her own, without her accompanying husband.
“Don't worry first. You still have to undergo several examinations to be sure. I have also contacted the surgeon, if at any time in need.”
Zahra's feelings were slightly relieved after an explanation from the doctor. Before leaving, the doctor advised Zahra to stay in the hospital while waiting for the results of further examinations. Don't forget to also remind Dania to keep trying to contact Abram. If the results are really as expected, then Zahra should be in surgery immediately.
Dania was a little relieved, at least, she still got time to contact Abram. Dania's thoughts are almost the same as Zahra's, she also does not want to burden Zahra's parents' minds about her son's condition. Given, Zahra's mother had severe hypertension.
