Lama Nadhira was silent in his tears, seeing the condition of the father who lay helpless. The ICU room is getting cold for Nadhira.
"Dad.ini teteh, this is Dhira Yah... Can you hear Dhira's voice?" dhira asked softly as he brought his voice closer to Sam's father's ear.
Silent. Before long, Nadhira continued the unidirectional conversation while holding back her cries. I wish Sam's father had heard his slow voice and woken up.
"Dad, Dhira hasn't told Mother and sisters. Dhira waits for Dad to strengthen Dhira when he tells you...
Dhira needs Dad, only Dad does Dhira need. Dad wake up...Dhira doesn't want me to sleep.
My mom and sister need me too. I'm up."
Amidst Nadhira's efforts to strengthen his heart, his hand felt something clasping back.
"Dad....Dad heard Dhira's voice? Dhira here Yah.side Dad." asked Nadhira a little excited while wiping his tears that had been creek since.
Slowly the eyes of Sam's father open weakly, Daddy's lips that feel dry look moving.
Sam's father tried to look at Nadhira with a bad susan.
***
Sam PoV's Dad
Nadhira's hand was so warm.
The incident this morning was vaguely back cut per piece. The pleasant chat with the driver suddenly stopped and the atmosphere became pitch black.
My head hurts, my whole body feels numb.
Then, all I know is that I'm lying here.now.
His voice kept on calling me. Eyes that feel heavy I force open. The blinding white and bright room light instantly closed these eyes again.
"Tea.teh.." call me with a dry throat.
"Yes Dad......Dhira's here. Dhira seneng Daddy was sober. Dad don't talk much first. Dhira called the doctor for a moment" he replied as he was about to get up from his seat.
Immediately, I slowly held her hand to stay seated next to me.
"Tea.teh, I want bi..cca.rrrra"
"Yes...Dad, Dhira ain't going anywhere. Dhira keep up with Dad. But wait.biar Dhira call the doctor first."
"Te.teh, Daddy's head feels sick once in a while"
"Eatya Dad do not move much first yes.keep trying not to ngbrol first. Talk about it later, the important thing is that I've been awake. Let Dhira call the doctor for a moment to check on Dad's condition"
The sad face of Nadhira could not be hidden. It makes his voice sound heavier.
I shook my head, "Tii.no need, te..teh keep it here."
"Dad, Dhira keeps a company with Dad even though there's a doctor. Dhira ain't nowhere. Yea? Dhira call the doctor first??" stoop slowly.
"Tea, ma.maafin Daddy son...Dad can't be happyin te.teh"
"Dad why did you say that? Dhira is happy with Dad, Mother is also sister."
"Dad knows how big your sacrifice is...I know"
"But Dhira sincerely Dad.....Dhira sincerely ngelakuinnya.hiks hyks"
"Son, I know you're happy to do it. Now.......I asked you to take the job you told Dad last night. Pursue what you want.The job may be your chance to prove that you are capable."
"Dad...why is Dad talking? Then Dad...Dhira wait for Dad to recover. Accompany Dhira to ask for blessing to Mother and sisters"
"Dad's scared when Dad ain't much son...."
"Dad talk what the hell? Dhira doesn't like Dad talking like that"
"Son....God Knows the Age of Father, maybe Dad can only come here to accompany you. I'll probably leave first, so. 'til I see you again."
Disappointed in her sad face was clearly visible. He passed out releasing his hand. Oh my God, is it this heavy?
My feelings keep saying to prepare myself. Warm circles fell from the corner of my eye. Strengthen myself, Lord. I want my family to be steadfast with Your trials even without me. Aamiins.

Dhira put his foot out of the room. His sobs that were being held instantly broke behind the door.
Sitting on the floor, Nadhira buried his face on both knees. The power he had maintained in front of Sam's father simply collapsed.
Suddenly a familiar voice called out to him, "Teteh? Where's my son?"
"Mother?" he raised his face and saw a familiar figure. His mother and three sisters hurriedly approached him.
Nadhira got up and wiped away her tears. Trying to remove his sad face and restore the kink as before.
"Mother..."
Mom approached and hugged Nadhira tightly. Drowning in his sobs. Nadhira tried to stay strong and calm his mother.
"Mother, I just woke up. It's a new drop outside to call the doctor." explained Nadhira slowly.
"Let Naylan be the one who calls." as he passed to the front room to tell the nurse.
Naren and Opal stood anxiously, waiting for Mother and her brother who were still hugging.
"Steak...New mom was told Aa was at the hospital when Dad was in an accident. Now where's Dad's tea? How's Dad doing?" ask me to panic.
"Father in the room ICU Bu. Dad just woke up. Later Mom can come in, but after the doctor check Dad first yeah?" nadhira.
"Why was she treated in the tea ICU? Tetah has not answered Mother...how is the condition of Father? sue Mom while crying.
"We wait for the doctor's explanation, ma'am."
Not long after, a doctor and a nurse came into Father's room. They waited a long time.
Outdoors.
"Abang, Naren...Daddy's administration is done?" nadhira asked his two younger siblings still while hugging Mom.
"It's tea, Opal was done all" Opal explained.
Nadhira nodded in understanding.
"Family patient Mr Samsuri?" suddenly the voice of a nurse broke the silence.
They all turned their heads and approached the source of the voice. Nadhira approached and introduced himself and his family to the doctor.
"Yes Dok, my oldest son, Nadhira. InI my mother and my three sisters."
"I can talk to Nadhira? I want to convey the condition of my father. Oh. and for Mom, please come in. The patient said he wanted to see you." explained the doctor.
Anxiously, Mom walked slowly into the room. Mother had been wearing the clothes requested by the guard nurse.
Mother opened the door slowly, worried that a little sound would hurt Dad inside, but before long Mother's face fell silent..
CZECH.
"Aaaaaayaaaaaah ,,,,,,, "murm Mother sadly.
Approaching the bed, Mother could not resist her tears falling. Rolling by grain also fell just like that.
Mom sat weakly beside Dad's bed. Trying to get the words out of his head. But not a single letter would speak.
"Dad, it's Mom."
