Between you and me

Hospital

Mama and Papa Dennis seemed to be in a hurry walking in the hospital parking lot. Indra the class leader immediately contacted them as soon as Dennis was in an accident and immediately rushed to the City X hospital. Mama Dennis's eyes were puffy from crying along the way. Papa Dennis could not hide his worries from his face. Soon they're headed to the ER room where Dennis was handled.

"How's Dennis doing?" Papa Dennis asked the nurse while trying to calm down. While the mama just fell silent while holding back tears.

"You're his parents?" Ask the nurse. Papa Dennis nodded.

"Wait a minute I call the doctor, let the doctor explain the patient's condition" the nurse went to call the doctor.

Mama immediately approached Dennis who was lying in bed. His eyes could not hold back tears. There was still blood on his shirt.

"You called auntie?" Ask Indra and Roni.

"Yes Tan, we're his classmates."

"Thank you for taking Dennis to the hospital." Dennis said as he wiped away the tears. "The car broke down yesterday and this morning it was repaired in the workshop. Aunty has suggested to take a taxi online only, but she insists on riding a motorbike." Follow mama Dennis. "The aunt should have banned him from going on a motorcycle" Mama Dennis cried again. His father just fell silent and tried to calm Dennis' mom.

"You're Dennis' family?" Ask doctor.

"Yes doc" Mama and papa Dennis almost answered at the same time.

"So, we've done a thorough examination. The patient's left leg is broken. And the handling must be done operation."

Dennis' mom's body is limp. He also sat in the chair. The leg of his youngest son was broken. How should he walk later? Mind fucked.

"The operation should be carried out as soon as possible. Given the faster the operation will be the faster the healing process and unification of broken bones" explained the doctor again.

"Yes Doc, do your best for our son." Papa Dennis said.

"So, will my child have a dock defect?" Ask mom Dennis.

"So my son can walk again as usual Doc?"

"We can't confirm that now. We had a bone-chugging operation first. For the next therapy we can choose after the patient's bones recover."

"Well Doc" said Dennis' mom, holding Dennis' hand.

"The patient while we were calm because it was in so much pain. Soon he will realize. Now the patient's family please complete the administration for the operation first. The operation will be carried out tomorrow morning" the doctor explained.

Slowly Dennis opened his eyes, saw around there was mama, papa, Indra and also Roni.

"Yes.." Call Dennis slowly. The call made everyone see him.

"You're sober, baby. What are you feeling?" ask mama.

"My feet hurt ma. Why-why, ma? My leg won't be amputated, will it?"

"No dear." Reply to my loving mother.

"Why is mom crying? is my leg hurt bad?" Ask Dennis.

"Your left leg is broken. You'll be in surgery tomorrow, son." Said papa.

"Operation?" Ask Dennis hesitatingly. "Ma pa I'm scared in surgery. Am I gonna be okay?"

Dennis' question made my mom cry again.

"There's papa's mama with your dear friends. And soon your brother will come too. Don't you be afraid, huh? Everything will be fine" explained mama while sobbing.
