Deck Mirna

Chapter XXVII: Memories of Mirna (part 9: Lost Both)

Mirna was immediately notified by one of her neighbors. Panicked, the girl came to the hospital, escorted by her neighbor. While Bu Eka and Zuko were escorted by an ambulance that had been called by the next door neighbor.

After arriving at the hospital, Zuko was taken to the ICU. With a push-bed, he was extremely limp helpless. It is very difficult to move by itself. It felt like his body was not boned. Though he passed out normally, could wake up later. However, it felt in her hands by Mirna, Mirna felt her father as soft boneless.

Doctors and nurses forbid others from entering the examination room. They'll take care of Zuko. Immediately an infusion medical device, oxygen tube, fentilator and others are prepared. The room was also closed tightly.

Mirna and Miss Eka started crying. Especially Mirna, she was very afraid of losing her father. Already experienced the loss of the mother, he did not want to decrease his parents. He still wants parents, like most children.

Neighbors who deliver can only give the spirit to pray for Zuko's recovery. Perhaps, Zuko is exhausted due to the search activities that he often do. Go early in the morning, go home early at midnight. It is unfortunate that Zuko left the face of the earth just because of that.

Time passed for 3 hours. The doctor did not leave the room. At least the sister came out. But every time asked, the answer should instead be asked to the doctor. Or the test results haven't come out yet.

Zuko checked for blood. The results should be asked of the doctor. But for 3 hours, there were no results. 5 Minutes later, the doctor finally left the room. Soon, Miss Eka and Mirna ask Zuko.

Ms. Eka who was invited to the doctor's room. Mirna was asked to wait with her neighbor. Mirna nodded according. Ma'am went with the doctor. Mirna is now with only two of her neighbors.

"Myrna! Want to eat something?" ask the neighbor who is sitting next to him.

In a silent voice, the girl replied with a headband. It means he doesn't want to eat anything.

"You have a drink, yes! Pity your esophagus with his lips, dry later."

Mirna was frozen. But 3 seconds later he replied with a nod. The neighbor asked his friend who took him to the hospital to buy Mirna drinking mineral water.

"Here, two bottles of mineral water! Same for Miss Eka later," he asked while handing over 50 thousands.

"Use my money! I have my wallet too" replied the friend.

"Yes already. Remember, two bottles yes!"

"Yes." Yeah."

After the other neighbor left, Mirna returned moody. The hijab girl won't talk. His neighbors tried to get him to talk, but it didn't work. Until he finally gave up. Just ask Mirna to pray for her father.

Finally, Miss Eka came with a limp feeling. Unpleasant feeling, pathetic, not wearing. As soon as he faced Mirna, he hugged her while crying bitterly. Then ask Mirna to be patient.

The clueless Mirna asked, "Mother! Papa hurts what?"

Ma'am Eka wants to answer, but there is a sense of heartlessness. But he knew that Mirna wanted him to be honest. Don't want to be lied to. So willing/unwilling, Miss Eka must be honest with her own granddaughter.

"Papa.kamu.kena blood cancer, son!"

Mirna was shocked in silence. Can't speak anymore. Mirna's really gonna lose her father. I don't know what else to say. She immediately hugged her grandmother. And unexpectedly, the girl went into the ICU room.

Ms. Eka and her neighbors came in to prevent Mirna. But too late, the girl had already entered.

Mirna cries as she begs Zuko to wake up. But still his efforts did not bring results. Zuko hasn't woken up from his stupor. His nose was in an elongated fentilator. His eyes were tightly closed. Though the monitor screen still shows a tangled line, a sign of Zuko's heartbeat is still working.

Ms. Eka and her two neighbors could only fall silent. Don't know what to do anymore. There is nothing to do except pray. Leave everything to the Almighty, but do not break his prayers.

The sisters come and ask Mirna to remove her hand from Zuko's left hand, as Zuko will be transferred to the hospital room. He must be treated until he can really intensive care from a doctor.

Mirna started off sad. He let go of his father slowly. It was very painful for him. I can't bear to see his father like this. She and her grandmother took Zuko who was pushed in the push-bed with two sisters.

...***...

It never occurred to Mirna and her grandmother that her father could have such a deadly disease. This could even take his life at any time.

However, this did not make Mirna feel upset after 3 days in the hospital accompanied Zuko. With Bh Eka, the girl is looking around for a high school that can make her continue to go to school.

Until the father suggested that Mirna go to Madrasah Aliyah school. Not in his boarding school, but only as a schoolboy as usual. Go to school, go home. So only ordinary school students, not at once become santriwati.

Mirna fulfilled the father's wish. He also got an information from his neighbors, there is an MA close to his residential area. Mirna also intends to register there with Bu Eka. While Zuko accompanied by his neighbors who sometimes visit there.

...***...

One day while still on school holidays, Mirna got information that her idol who is a South Korean boyband was coming to Javabirna. Not to the capital, but a concert to Jayakarta.

Mirna wants to watch it, but she can't leave her father. She also asked her grandmother or her neighbor who accompanied Zuko during her visit to see the concert.

Not wanting to take a headache, Mirna permission on Zuko by talking about it with four eyes. And what was Zuko's reaction?

He's not angry! He let the princess watch. He really wants his daughter to be happy, let alone fulfill the desire of Mirna who wants to be a singer.

"But I don't have the heart of grandma Nemenin Papa. How tired will it be?" ask Mirna worriedly.

"No will. Grandma can still be strong, dear," Ma'am Eka assured her granddaughter.

Although there was still a sense of heartlessness, Mirna accepted happily. He hugged his father with a cry and thanked him.

"Papa be careful, yes! The concert is tomorrow night, so Mirna has to leave early in the morning at dawn" Mirna said amid her cries.

"You should be careful. The city was as big as Baradina. Don't split or scatter, yeah! Abis saw the concert, went straight to the hotel. Keep coming back to Baradina tomorrow!" reply Zuko gave a message with a reply to his embrace.

Mirna nodded. And he immediately prepared the items to take there tomorrow.

...***...

Directly, tomorrow when it is in Jayakarta

Mirna can't wait to watch her favorite Korean boy band's concert. He had prepared a poster of the boyband picture that he released from the wall of his room. When he gets home, he will put it in his room again.

Long story short, the concert began at night after the magrib. The concert was a big concert for a foreign band or vocal group. No local bands were invited.

It wasn't just Korean vocal groups that were invited. But also Western bands. Clearly, the most famous foreign band and vocal group, there is no local.

The South Korean male vocal group Mirna likes has finally performed as well. Sing a song that is liked by their big fans. That's when Zuko called with a video call channel on the WhatsApp app.

"She was singing with passion while looking at her 3 prince members, sir!" said Mirna's neighbor named Heni. He is also a big fan of this Korean boy band.

"Try me to see!" zuko Pinta.

Heni's phone was directed at the singing spirit Mirna, albeit with slightly curiously sloppy lyrics, in keeping with what she had heard.

Looking at Heni's phone, Mirna greeted her father happily.

"Wait, Pa! Once more fun to see the princes Sungjong, Myunsoo and Woo-hyun, nih!" the thrill is plain and spirit.

Zuko wasn't angry. As long as his daughter was happy, he was happy. Zuko knew who Mirna was talking about. Because Mirna once showed her face on the poster to him.

"Please, sing it!" zuko exclaimed with spirit as well.

"Yes, Pa!"

The phone closed with a greeting from Heni. Bu Eka was also happy to see her son happy in the middle of his weak body because of the strong pain.

...***...

A week later

Zuko changed the fentilator. The fentilator is a model that is inserted into the body through its mouth. Now he can't talk. The pain is getting worse. It's very likely that Mirna will lose her father before she gets into her new school next week.

Until what is unwanted happens. Zuko is getting weaker. All that can be done Bu Eka and Mirna just teach Surah Ya-Siin and pray, especially every time the obligatory prayer and sunnah is finished.

Zuko's getting breathless. Mirna recited two sentences of the creed in Zuko's right ear. Zuko's lips moved slightly, hinting that he was following the line his daughter whispered.

And then it's already. Zuko breathed his last. The monitor screen shows a straight line. Zuko's heartbeat has stopped. Zuko was pronounced dead, following his wife.

Mirna was crying hysterically. He wanted to hug his father, but was pulled gently away by his grandmother. Mirna hugged her grandmother. His father's body was sealed with a blanket, from his feet to his head.

...***...

Zuko was buried to the left of Siti's grave. The corpse bury did the same thing when Siti was buried first. Mirna was very sad. His sobs still did not stop, while carrying a picture frame of his father. Ki Albi and some of his men also came to mourn.

Miss Eka was also sad, of course. Moreover, this is his only son. Death left him and his grandson. Following her daughter-in-law and husband.

After praying together led by the ustad, Eka and Mirna sprinkled flowers. After that, Mirna also spoke to a tombstone that read Zuko's identity.

"Pa! Mirna doesn't have a dad like Papa anymore. From this moment on, Mirna will succeed Papa's throne. Won't be a singer, but a detective like Papa. But, the detective who defended the truth. Especially against men who demean the dignity of women. Plus, against the women who went the wrong way. Good bye, Papa! Country, my grandmother and I keep remembering you, until every moment."
