69. Mama's Sadness

That night, little Amira was hospitalized. Doctor Hengki as the person in charge who has been watching the growth and development of Amira since childhood said that the little girl must immediately get treatment and undergo an operation so that similar events do not happen again.

Unfortunately, the team of doctors had to postpone the operation because Amira kept whining and refused anyone to approach her except her parents. Even if Kirana discusses the operation Amira will cry again.

“Her heart rate is getting unstable, Mother I suggest to immediately calm Amira. If he keeps this up his condition will get worse and the worst possibility he can..,”.

“Do not continue doc. I already understand,” Kirana said with a half-empty look.

Kirana's condition worsened when a few days later Lucy entered the hospital after bleeding. Luckily he and the baby survived, but thanks to that also Adnan so unable to reach everything. Kirana could only ask her brother to focus on his son and wife.

Only Kirana was alone to accompany Amira. For a few days he had not stepped out of the hospital at all. Even to eat, he is rare. Every night he would keep stroking his hands and patting Amira on the thigh just so he could sleep well.

Occasionally Galih will come, in addition to comforting Amira who often cries he also tried to comfort Kirana who continues to wail. As tonight, Galih returns to the hospital to accompany Kirana and Amira. Galih did not even hesitate to sleep in an uncomfortable position just so that he could be near his two dearest people.

“Papa...,” call Amira when Galih is trying to envelop Kirana who fell asleep in a sitting position while leaning on Amira's bed.

“Yes? Wh why? Amira wants what?”

“Amila thirsty,” said.

Galih grabbed the glass on the table right next to Amira. He slowly scooped the water and then fed it to Amira bit by bit.

“Have or again?” ask Galih after a few spoons.

“Udah..”.

“Now Amira sleep again yes, Mama has also slept tuh.”

“Papa..,” call Amira again.

“Why beautiful?”

“Papa akin Amila dong,” said.

“Help what?”

“Papa can make Mama laugh again right? Amila did not want to see Mama crying too late,” she said she even joined in crying.

“Iya, Papa will make Mama laugh again but Amira also has to promise Papa Amira should be healthy huh, Amira nurut same doctor Hengki so that it can be healthy again and later we three can walk as much as Amira wants, Amira wants,” said Galih while stroking Amira's head so that the girl forgets the discomfort in her nose attached to the nasal cannula.

“Amila won't, Amila is scared. Amila does not want to move. Amila wants to be here with Papa Galih not Papa Laihan in sulga. You see Papa Laihan is evil with Amila as Mama,” said the little girl.

“Nak, the departure of Papa Raihan is not because Papa wants to. God loves Papa Raihan more. If Papa could choose for sure Papa Raihan would prefer here the same Amira and Mama. Papa Raihan is very similar Mama with Amira,” said Galih trying to explain.

“Papa lie huh?”

“Not lying. Really deh.”

“But why did Papa Laihan choose to pelgi?”

“Amira baby, we live it there will be limits. If it is time to leave, we cannot choose to stay. One day Amira, Mama, Papa Galih will all return to the same God. But we will be there together again, so Amira prayed with God so that Amira can be equally Papa and Mama again in heaven later,” said Galih.

It was even Galih who was about to cry. He never expected that it turned out that these two great women were so fragile without the presence of their support poles. Galih just remembered, he knew who Raihan was after accidentally seeing a wedding photo of Kirana and Raihan displayed near Papa Bagus home television the other day.

Although little did he know of the figure of Raihan Dhananjaya, but he was able to draw the conclusion that Raihan is a man full of responsibility. She was not the same as Amira had been saying.

“Amira, if later in the dream Amira met with Papa Raihan try Amira asked whether Papa loves Mama or not, surely the answer is dear. If Papa does not love to do anything Papa nemenin Amira in the dream. That's the sign Papa loves Amira,” said Galih again.

“Benelan ya Pa? Not if you want to bring Amila pelgi, right?"

“Papa...,” Amira again called Galih after a few minutes of silence while closing her eyes.

“Hmm?”

“If Amila wants to opelasi Papa promise to nemenin Mama right? You see, Mama is very afraid that Amila is okay. So Papa delicately temenin Mama bial Mama does not cry,” said Amira.

“Papa promise. Papa will meet Mama,” said Galih.

“Then I want to be copied Pa,” replied Amira with a smile. Galih smiled and kissed his little princess.

“Sleep yes, while Papa bacain fairy tale,” said Galih while storytelling to help Amira sleep again.

...***...

As soon as Kirana heard Amira wanted to be operated on, she showered Amira with a kiss. He was truly grateful to Galih who managed to persuade Amira. Without hesitation Kirana stepped up to hug Galih. He continued to thank her while hugging Galih so tightly.

Amira saw it, Galih was also able to see the little girl laughing now, “kan I told Mama that the same Papa must be happy. Mama do not refuse Papa again yes Ma,” Amira said to Kirana who still survives in Galih's arms.

Kirana hears her daughter's story and then releases Galih's embrace and turns to Amira. Kirana again kissed Amira's cheek while assuring and asked Amira to stop complaining all her mama's turmoil to Galih.

“Tok..., tok...” says someone from the doorway. It turns out that Aunt Ratna came with doctor Hengki.

“Halo Hengki doctel, Latna doctel,” said Amira while doing drugs to the two senior doctors.

“Good morning Amira cheerful yes this morning,” said aunt Ratna.

“Semalem Amila meets Papa Laihan. Papa said, Amila can stay here with Papa Galih. Papa Laihan is not even,” said Amira.

“Wahh, seneng ya Amira already want to have a new Papa,” goda aunt Ratna refer to Kirana and Galih who stood shyly.

“What is aunty,” says Kirana.

Hengki's doctor immediately arranged for Amira's surgery schedule. All of you also told Amira and her mother that from today Amira should fast. So that the operation tonight can run smoothly. After that the two doctors walked out of Amira's room followed by Galih who drove her to the front door.

“By the way doctor Ratna, since in the parking lot I have obtained Amira's permission so it seems I did not so ask for help,” said doctor Hengki to his senior.

“Telat you said it, I'm already here,” doctor Ratna said.

“Yes I think the doctors all leave for work I tell you,” replied doctor Hengki.

“There is no schedule for me today. Since last week I have said the 10th want to go with you. Because you are the Father so wait at home, when it should have been able to leave,” said Ratna.

“Where are you going, ma'am? Not just want to walk to a besan place?” said Galih who unintentionally heard the conversation.

“Nganter son-in-law he said kangen Papa Mama, yes already mumpung Father also no longer want to all play there visiting brothers and sisters, the same to your grandmother's house his intention. But it is ready to leave Hengki doctor comes to the house he said asking for help refer Amira,” replied doctor Ratna.

“Sorry doc has been said as well,” said doctor Hengki.

“How now? Are you here or are you home first?”

“Yes you are still waiting at home, this mom wants to go home.”

“I just take it with you, can you?” haggling Galih.

“Bby once. You also owe me the same story, Mother,” Ratna said making Galih nod.

“Ready, ndan. I'll tell you on the street. Mom, I take the keys first all alone,” said Galih.
