147. All Sad

Gama arrived at the Police Hospital as the clock showed at half-four in the morning. He rushed to the Emergency Unit because Rex was there.

In front of the Emergency Unit Gama saw some of Rex's colleagues sitting while talking. Apparently they came to wait for Rex.

" Openal...!" greet Gama in a friendly manner.

" Wa alaikumsalam., "said all of Rex's colleagues then stood up and shook Gama's hand.

" How's Rex doing now Mas...?" ask Gama worriedly.

All of Rex's associates were silent. They stared at each other confused to make Gama more anxious. Sergeant Andi let out a long sigh and invited Gama into the ER.

" Let me drive...," Andi said.

Gama nodded then followed Andi who barged into the Emergency Unit casually.

When he saw Rex's condition lying weakly on the bed made Gama shed tears. Various hoses were attached to the body of Rex which at that time was also wrapped like a mummy.

" So what happened...?" asked Gama while rubbing the wet end of his eyes.

Sergeant Andi also told what happened according to one of the police who drove Rex to the Hospital earlier. Hearing Andk's story makes Gama hit and can no longer hide his cries.

" Oh my God.., a lot of money Lo Rex..," said Gama.

" When he was brought here, Captain Rex was conscious. Can be overshadowed how it feels to have to endure pain throughout the journey Mas..," said sergeant Andi with a choked voice to make Gama more sobbing.

" What is the fate of the other passengers Mas...?" asked Gama after her crying subsided.

" Some died on the spot and others were injured. Some were taken to this Hospital the rest to the Regional Hospital there Mas..," said Sergeant Andi.

Suddenly a doctor and two nurses entered the room. Gama and Sergeant Andi also stepped aside to give the medical team a chance to check on Rex's condition.

Shortly thereafter Rex was transferred to the isolation room at the doctor's order. Gama and Sergeant Andi are seen talking to the doctor who handles Rex.

" Patient We're moving into isolation, sir. The burns were very severe and needed special treatment" the doctor said.

" What is the need for the operation of the docks...?" ask Gama.

" We are still observing, sir. We hope the burn is only on the surface of the skin and does not penetrate into the internal organs. So we can wait for the human patient and ask for his willingness to do plastic surgery to repair his damaged skin." said the doctor.

" About how much longer can my sister siasuman doc...?" ask Gama.

" Look at the patient's condition, God willing, two or three hours to the patient. And when placed in the isolation room the patient can only be visited from the outside, sir." said the doctor.

" Well, thank you doctor..," said Gama and Sergeant Andi together.

" Together..," said the doctor with a smile.

In the end, all the family knew the news of the accident that Rex had experienced. You can guess how they reacted. Even Lanni fainted upon hearing the news directly from her husband who came home to Rusminah to see her.

Lanni was still crying when Ramon went into the room. Rusminah was unable to persuade the daughter-in-law because the news also made her panic and sad.

" Mama rest yes. Let Lanni I take care of her." said Ramon as he pushed her out of the room.

" Yes, Son. Any word from Jakarta yet...?" ask Rusminah.

" It's Mak. Gama says Rex's condition is improving and has been moved to the inpatient room.

" Daud Mak..," said Ramon quickly.

The nurse who was taking care of Rusminah appeared to greet Rusminah and help her sit on the sofa. Ramon leaves Rusminah with the nurse and returns to the room.

" Momak ate first yes, abis was taking medicine.", said the nurse named Emi gently.

" Yes Sus..," said Rusminah with a smile.

Ramon's room seems to be trying to calm Lanni who is still crying. But eventually he also cried because he was worried about the condition of the child.

" How is Rex's condition now Well ?. Please don't lie anymore, I need to know the truth right." Lanni said in tears.

" Said Gama Rex's condition worsened ma'am. He was taken to an isolation ward for fear that his burns might have an infection. The doctor predicted Rex was seven o'clock, but until now Rex had not been awake either..," said Ramon as he rubbed his wet eyes.

" Oh my God, Cassian Rex. She must be in pain Well..," said Lanni sadly.

" Strong child Rex, ma'am, he's been sick since he was a kid. You remember that, right ?. Insha Allah Rex will be fine after this..," said Ramon confidently while tightening his embrace.

" Aamiin's. When do we go back to Jakarta Well...?" lanni asked while looking at her husband.

" So soon, Mom. I've taken care of everything and we can go home in a minute. But we go home first, Mom. Kasian Lian was alone there. Kaya Gama has not told Lian if Rex accident. You should pack now so that the travel car passes pick up We can immediately leave..," said Ramon.

Lanni nodded then rushed up. Ramon smiled faintly at how his very sad wife was still able to pack even while crying.

Sadness surrounded Ramon and his family. This time Ramon and Lanni were busy calming down Lilian who was crying. It just so happened that Lilian had been staying at her parents' house since they left for Cirebon.

" Sister, don't cry. Remember your baby. Kasian is he, if his mother cries he must be sad. That's not good, son," Lanni said as she rubbed Lilian's back gently.

" How did I not cry Mom. Why didn't anyone tell me that Rex was in an accident and hospitalized. All even cooperate to liein Me, Gama also..," said Lilian in between sobs.

" We don't want you to go into shock and get your baby hurt, son. Rex must be sad to know his nephew why-why. Now we should pray for Rex's healing and stop blaming each other.", said Ramon softly and was taken by Lanni.

" Fine said Dad. I'm also sorry if I'm angry with Dad earlier Well," said Lanni as she looked at her husband with teary eyes.

" Gapapa Bu, I understand you..," said Ramon with a smile.

" So when do we go to see Rex Well...?" ask Lanni impatiently.

" As long as Lian doesn't cry anymore we can go there as soon as possible..," said Ramon as he glanced at Lilian.

Hearing the father's words made Lilian immediately stop her crying. Then Lian immediately rubbed her wet, puffy face with tissue. Lillian's behavior inevitably made Ramon and Lanni laugh.

" Come on Well. I'm ready to go now...!" take Lilian with you while getting up from her seat.

" Wash your face and change clothes first, brother, the time out of the house using a thin rich negligee. There you even make a fuss with Gama later because Your Husband is jealous to squirm your appearance that is a little se*i this..," said Lanni while holding back laughter.

As if struck by his slightly open appearance, Lilian nodded.

" Yes Ma'am. I changed my clothes first huh..," said Lilian timidly and then rushed into her room.

Lanni and Ramon looked at each other with smiles. Lilian had indeed been acting a little absurd since she was pregnant and it was understood by her parents. But in contrast to Gama who always protested by the way Lilian dress which he thought was too vulgar. Such a simple thing makes the young couple often argue just because the new hobby of the wife wearing mini clothes.
