CLBK (Long Love Hasn't Been Long)

Still Research

Lita was in the ICU room where Vero was being treated. Vero always begged Lita not to leave him for a second.

Only when praying and eating, Lita can get out of the ICU room. Lita has also started her research.

"How's Vero, Uncle?" Lita had just finished her report when Marcel walked into the Doctor's room.

Marcel smiled. "Alhamdulilla... The conditions are much better. At least you have raised his spirit to life. Let's see how it's been for a few weeks, if possible, Uncle and Auntie will have surgery to remove the disease."

"What's the worst thing, Uncle?" Lita looks worried.

"Uncle told you, the chances of success are only twenty percent, only Allah is Almighty. Uncle will try his best." Marcel.

Lita lowered her head, tried hard and started to remember the lessons Lita learned from J State.

"Has Uncle been getting reports on Bang Vero's treatment at the Hospital before?" Ask Lita.

Uncle Marcel sighed. "Vero seems to have resigned to his illness. Repeatedly when his headache recurred, he only took painkillers. Though the Hospital repeatedly asked Vero to check it in more detail."

"Where did Bang Vero know he had brain cancer?" Lita curious.

"Like his Vero never get treatment at the Hospital. But not for long. Vero hid his illness from his family. Uncle is also less clear. Maybe your Auntie knows...." Marcel.

Lita nodded. Nindi had indeed returned home to accompany her Son and Princess at home.

"You're tired, just go home. Come back here tomorrow. Vero is also on a break. Uncle gave him some medicine. So he won't be fussy looking for you... Hehehe..." Marcel Goda.

Lita smiles. "Uncle don't come home? Uncle has been here all day." Said Lita.

"Haha... Yes you are right. Starting tomorrow we start to set a time to focus on Vero's treatment." Marcel.

"I'm ready Uncle." Said Lita.

"OKs... Uncle's waiting in the parking lot." Marcel.

"Yes Uncle." Said Lita smiling.

"Sister Lita...!!" Vera immediately splashed in Lita's arms. Vera crying. "Nobody anywhere? Hik... hik..."

Lita was amazed because suddenly Vera came and hugged her. Lita rubbed Vera's head covered in hijab. "Propay Deck... Istighfor..." Lita Pinta.

Vera broke her embrace. It's been ten days, Vero's been at the Hospital, the Vero Family hasn't been able to see him. Because of a request from Marcel. But Marcel always gives info about Vero's health development.

Lita embraces Vera's shoulder and brings her to her seat.

"Nobody anywhere? Why just got home?" Vera sulks while wiping her tears.

"Nobody's going to Dek, in J's State." Said Lita.

"Yes but there is a holiday, why not go back to Sumatra? Is Brother angry with you brother?" Vera still bitterly held back her cries.

Lita sighed. "Dec... You know, your Brother and Family family never get along. Grandma Dinda does not approve of your brother's relationship with your brother. And anyway, Brother knows, Brother Diah loves your brother very much."

Vera shook her head quickly. "Sister Brother... Brother has not loved Sister Diah since Brother loved Brother. Brother is just love with brother. Now Grandma is not there, so there is no more obstacle to the relationship Brother and Brother."

Lita clasped Vera's shoulder. Lita knows this is heavy. Love without blessing will not unite, it will be destroyed later on. After all Lita had forgotten her love for Vero.

"Your brother and sister are not a match, dear. Brother has forgotten your brother. Brother here wants to solve the problem of Brother with your Brother so that there will be no misunderstandings later." Obviously Lita.

"But Brother... Brother still loves Brother very much. You never betrayed your brother." Vera insists on defending Vero.

Lita smiles. "The soul, soul and death are all the Power of God... For now, Brother thinks about how to make your brother healthy. So Brother ask for your help, let Brother concentrate on dealing with Bang Vero disease."

Vera looks disappointed. Vera desperately wishes her brother was married to Lita. Because Lita is life for Vero.

Vera nodded. Although heavy but Lita is right that now the most important thing is the health of her brother.

"Sister needs to get to the ICU. Your brother must have been waiting." Lita smiles.

Vera nodded. Vera sighed.

Vera overheard Marcel's conversation with his Grandfather last night when Marcel called Grandpa and was on the loadspeaker. Vera is very surprised that Lita has returned and is taking care of her brother's treatment. So Vera very early in the morning saying goodbye to Grandpa to come out for a while for various reasons.

"Your patient won't eat, honey." Canda Nindi when she saw Lita enter the treatment room Vero.

Vero has been transferred to the treatment room. Her condition was much better after Lita came. It's been a week since Lita took care of Vero.

"Now is that Bang? Doesn't your brother want to be healthy?" Canda Lita's.

Vero looks moody. He was upset because Lita had not been on his side for two days. Lita is busy compiling her research and is also developing cancer and nerve treatment technologies.

Marcel, Nindi and Lita are preparing all things for the surgical removal of cancer from Vero's body to come to fruition.

"Do you want us to take a walk to the park?" Take Lita with her sincere smile.

Vero nodded but was still moody.

"But Sayaang...... Vero can't get out yet." Nindi looked worried.

Lita smiles. "What's wrong Auntie. But you have to have breakfast first, and then I take you out." Pinta Lita on condition.

Vero nodded. Nindi smiles. He handed Lita Vero breakfast.

"Bismilla...." Lita said as she fed the porridge on the spoon to Vero's mouth.

Vero received her slowly. Lita patiently fed him.

"Auntie stay first." Said Nindi felt bad to be a mosquito repellent there.

"You don't love me." Vero started talking.

Lita was silent for a moment. Then go back to feeding the porridge. Lita just smiled.

Vero caught Lita's hand that was about to bribe her.

Lita sighed. "A little more, don't waste it. This porridge that made Mama Fitri loh... Was it the same breakfast yesterday?" Said Lita. Lita knows the food from the Hospital is bad. So Lita makes porridge for Vero, but Fitri who knows Lita lack of rest lately, took over making porridge for Vero.

"Why have you changed? Don't you love me anymore?" Vero looked desperate.

Lita smiled as her last mouth went into Vero's mouth. Lita thrusts drinking water with a straw into Vero's mouth. Vero accepted her despite many questions in his heart that had not been answered.

After that Lita put all the eating utensils in the washbasin in the room. Lita washes her hands. Then take a wheelchair.

Lita helps Vero get off the gurney. Lita felt Vero's body was very light. Looks frail. As much as possible Lita held back her cries in front of Vero. Lita doesn't want to make down Vero's spirit because of her tears.

Vero's body was a little shaky because it had not come down from the gurney for two weeks.

"Aduuuhh... Astaghfirullaahis...." Vero held his head.

"Why Bang?" Lita looks worried. "If you're not strong, just sleep well..."

Vero. His hand was still holding onto Lita's shoulder. "I'm powerful. I want to get out, to the park." Pinta Vero's.

Lita nodded and went back to help Vero sit in a wheelchair.
