BETWEEN YOU AND HIM
The Part 75
" Gosh, where's Syifa? Didn't he follow me?" murmured Deni panicked.
Deni ran over to the victim. Instantly his body was limp when he saw who was lying on the street.
" Shypha...! Awake, Syifa. What are you doing here? Why did this happen." Deni shouted while crying.
" Mister, relax. We've called an ambulance and reported it to the authorities" one of the men said.
" Syifa, wakeup! Don't worry me." sobs Deni.
Before long the ambulance came along with the police car. Deni helped lift Syifa's body to the gurney and accompanied her in the ambulance.
" Syifa, why did all this happen to you? What am I gonna tell Reyhan? He must be so angry that I'm negligent in looking after you."
Deni clasped tightly to Syifa's fingers that were getting weaker. Deni feels very guilty, he should be able to take care of Syifa. The girl is his responsibility, in addition to working partners he has also considered Syifa as his own sister.
Before long, the ambulance stopped in front of the IGD room. Deni went down and accompanied Syifa to the IGD door.
" Doctor, please save my sister."
" Calm down, sir. I will do my best for the patient."
Deni paced - barren for almost an hour waiting for the doctor who examined Syifa. He is very worried if until the events of five years ago reoccur.
" O Allah, save Syifa. I'll feel the most guilty if something bad happens to her." Deni said.
Before long the Syifa phone brought by Deni rang. Deni saw the name that called it. His mind was very chaotic, he was at a loss to answer it or not. Until the ringing of the phone stopped, Deni just stared at him with an injured heart.
Some police came to Deni to provide information about Syifa's hit-and-run case.
" Good day, sir. Are you the family of the hit-and-run victim inside?"
" right, sir. The victim was with me from Jakarta. We're working here."
" According to witnesses at the scene of the crime, the car seemed to have deliberately hit the victim. There were witnesses that the perpetrator had parked his car not far from the scene."
" Are you sure? But we have no enemies here. Syifa had also just come to this city for the first time."
" Our officers are also tracking the owner of the car right now. For further development, we will contact you back."
" Thank you, sir."
" I'm sorry, sir."
" Please."
After the police left, the doctor who treated Syifa came out of the IGD room. Deni, whose phone had been ringing in his jacket pocket, stopped to answer the call.
" Doctor, how's Syifa doing?"
" I'm sorry, Mister. The patient is still critical, the impact on his head is quite hard. The patient is in a coma."
" No, Doctor. This can't happen to her anymore." cried Deni.
' Relax, Sir. You need to stay calm, we'll try to save the patient's life."
" If he doesn't survive, my life will also end." murmured Deni.
" We'll move him to the ICU, call the other family. Excuse me, sir."
After the doctor left, Deni picked up the phone in his pocket. There were some missed calls from Reyhan. Inevitably Deni must tell Reyhan about Syifa's current condition. The man immediately contacted Reyhan despite the worst risk he would receive.
[Hello, Brother Deni? Why not answer my phone? Is the meeting over? Where Syifa is, I want to talk to her." ] Reyhan said.
" I'm sorry, Young Master." Deni sobbed.
[" Brother? Deni why? What the hell's going on? Is your sister crying?" ] lick Reyhan.
" I'm sorry, I'm sorry Young Master. This is all my fault," Deni tried to toughen up.
[" Deni why? Speak clearly!" ] shouted Reyhan.
" Young Master, Syifa had an accident. Now that he's in a coma, I'm sorry I couldn't keep him at your command."
[ "Whataa? The accident? Brother Deni don't joke!" ]
" I'm sorry, I've neglected to look after Syifa."
[[ "I'll be there now, please take care of him." ]
" Okay, Young Master."
Deni was still sobbing while sitting in the waiting room chair. There was nothing he could do at this moment other than just praying.

At four in the afternoon, Reyhan arrived at the hospital where Syifa was treated with Ardan and Sony. They rushed to find Deni's whereabouts.
" Deni's sister, where's Syifa?" ask Reyhan to worry.
" I'm sorry, Young Master.it's my fault, I'm negligent in looking after Syifa." Deni said with eyes still swollen.
" Why did Syifa get in an accident?" scream Reyhan.
" Stranquilo, Rey. Let's listen to Deni's explanation first." said Sony.
Ardan peeked into the ICU room where Syifa was being treated. The girl seemed to be silent and not moving at all.
" Syifa, why are you like this? Why is your life always full of obstacles. Why must you always get this heavy ordeal." Inner Ardan.
Deni told in detail the events experienced by Syifa including information from the police about the case. He was so sorry he could not keep Syifa that all the calamities happened.
" So, according to witnesses this accident was on purpose?" ask Reyhan.
" Sister, if indeed all this is on purpose, it means that the person has followed Mr. Deni and Syifa from the airport this morning" said Sony.
" But what was their motive for doing this to Syifa? Even this is the first time Syifa has come to this city." Deni said.
" Or maybe they're following a brother from Jakarta?" said Ardan.
" So far there has never been a problem either in the office or outside. What does she want from Syifa?"
" Maybe your business rivals?"
" No, it's the first time there's a project in Bali and just signed the contract. The police are investigating the owner of the car."
Reyhan saw Syifa from outside. The number of tools attached to Syifa's body makes Reyhan unable to see it directly.
" Why did all this have to happen to you, baby. We just met, I don't want to lose you again. You promised you wouldn't go far, come back soon." Reyhan said.
" Young Master, come in. Perhaps with your arrival, Syifa could wake up. I'm afraid that five years ago happened again" Deni said.
" I can't bear to see it, brother. Why must Syifa suffer this suffering."
" Come in, Rey. Syifa needs you now" said Sony.
" All right, I'm going in first" Reyhan said.
" I'm going to see a doctor who handles Syifa, preferably Syifa in Jakarta."
Sony's looking for a doctor's office that handles Syifa. He wanted to know the girl's true state. If necessary, Sony will transfer Syifa to his hospital.
" Excuse me, Doctor. I'm the family of a hit-and-run patient, Syifa Azzahra." said Sony.
" Please sit down, sir. Can I help you?"
" I'm curious about Syifa's current condition,"
" The patient was in a coma, the impact on his head was quite hard and also his leg was injured but only temporarily because his nerve muscles are still all normal."
" Will he be in a coma for a long time?"
" We can't predict it, sir. He had just gone through a critical period, it would take as many days as possible. The condition is still unstable right now."
" Can patients be transferred to Jakarta only? We can't keep him here, his family's in Jakarta."
" Because this is a criminal case, we have to coordinate with the police and also the recommendation to the hospital in Jakarta."
" I have my own hospital, so there is no need for recommendations. Just prepare the transfer process, I will hire a helicopter to bring Syifa to Jakarta."
" You own a hospital in Jakarta?"
" It actually belongs to my parents, Healthy Hospital."
" You're the son of Mr Hidayat?"
" Yes, do you know my parents?"
" We were a faculty while studying in Singapore, it turns out you went down Hidayat's talent. What do you take specialists?"
" I'm taking a cardiac specialist, Doctor."
" You're a great young man."
" Can I check Syifa's condition?"
" Please,"
Meanwhile in the ICU room, Reyhan looked silently at Syifa who looked very pale. He wanted to cry, but he wouldn't do it in front of his girlfriend. Reyhan must be strong for Syifa.
" Dear, wake up... You promised to just leave for a while. You have to keep your promise." Reyhan said.
Reyhan clasped Syifa's fingers tightly to make the girl realize that she was not alone at the moment. Reyhan believes his girlfriend will soon wake up from a coma.
" Rey, I'll check on Syifa for a second" said Sony, who is behind Reyhan.
" Okay, please save him."
" Keep praying, may your presence give the spirit in his soul to wake up soon."
Sony checked everything from his blood pressure to his heartbeat. He also examined the nerves in Syifa's body, especially in the legs.
" Everything is starting to improve, the condition has stabilized" Sony said.
" When did he wake up, Son?" ask Reyhan.
" Let's wait till tomorrow morning, let him rest."
Outside the room, Deni and Ardan were talking to several police officers who came to inform them of the latest information.
" Sir, how's your investigation? Is there any information about the culprit?" ask Deni.
" I'm sorry, Mister. After we investigated, it turned out that the license plate was fake. We haven't been able to catch the culprit yet." replied one of the policemen.
Deni felt his body begin to weaken. There's no hope of catching the culprit now. Does he have to step down? Or will it continue to search for evidence on its own without the help of the police?
