ENTANGLED IN THE LOVE OF A DOCTOR

Tracheostomy

The time is open. I went to the glass room to see Kak Ranti's condition. But when he got there, Ranti still looks the same as last afternoon, still lying weak with various medical devices attached to her body. But, the bond in his hand was no longer there.

Seen, a Sister was writing on a very large paper, she wrote in front of her bed Kak Ranti.

_____________________

After the clock was finished, I returned to the waiting room. Hour after hour, the people in the waiting room reduced, until I finally went back to sleep based on the newspaper.

The morning came again, after the dawn prayer I returned to Building A to take a bath. And continue with breakfast.

While waiting, there was a call.

" Miss Ranti's family....! "

I got up from my seat, then approached the entrance to the sterile room.

" Mom, Ranti's family? " ask a Doctor.

" Yes, I'm his sister, "I answered.

" Is there another family? " ask again.

" There's a Doctor, "I went back out and called my Brother.

Arriving in the room. The doctor spoke seriously.

" Sorry in advance, I'm interrupting the time sir, ma'am.. " Say the Doctor.

" So, this Ranti Septiani patient after her major surgery had respiratory failure, so it must be intensively treated in the ICU room so that everything is controlled.

" And now, the patient Ranti airway is blocked, due to the excessive production of mucus, so we have to do a tracheostomy.

" Tracheostomy is a hole made by a surgeon through the front of the neck and into the throat (trachea ) . Well, after the hole is made later the doctor will attach a tracheostomy tube into the hole to keep it open to breathe. "...

" Because this is a risk then we ask for the approval of the family Patient Ranti Septiani, how about Father, Mother? "..

" Yes, how good it is Doctor, we from the family follow whatever direction the Doctor does. You see, we don't know what, Doctor knows better. The point is all the best for my family, I leave it to the Doctor everything, "Absaid Bang Ilham.

" Well, if it's like that, we're asking for his signature for approval, "...

The doctor gave a piece of paper to Bang Ilham, without first reading Bang Ilham signed it,

" One more, may be the same mother, "

' My goodness Doctor, why call me Mother continues, My face looks old yes, but Doctor Afandi calls me Adek, ' I said in my heart.

I took the paper and put my signature on the second part.

" Yes, thank you sir, Mother..

" Same Doctor, thank you very much..! "

After that, we went back out of the room and waited in the waiting room..

" What letter was that? " Task Bang Ilham after we sit on the bench.

" Yes what letter yes, anyways not read first Bang," I replied.

" So said he wanted to be in his neck, yes it was easy hopefully it was the best, just follow what the Doctor said, " said Bang Ilham.

Today, is the third day where Ranti is in the ICU room, as well as my Brother. And after lunch, Bang Ilham also Bang Bagas paid to go home.

" Dek, we go home first yes, later in the afternoon, " said Bang Ilham.

" But how? I'm here alone dong, ' My words are very sad. Tears seemed to have been jostling to come out, then I rubbed it violently.

" Yes alone first, later you will occasionally come here again, a lot of abandoned work Dek, besides we also need a fee for the treatment of Kak Ranti in the future, " Again Bang Ilham gave me understanding.

" Yes already, "My words are weak. I object to their stay. But how else, Ranti has no certainty to exit the ICU room.

" But Bang, help me to Loundry, my dirty clothes are piled up in building A.

Finally Bang Bagas who helped me bring my dirty clothes also Brother Ranti. While Bang Ilham remained waiting in the waiting room.

Then, Bang Bagas and I took the dirty clothes and brought them to Loundry.

*************

In the afternoon, Bang Bagas was also Bang Ilham saying goodbye to go home, and there I almost cried, because I did not want to stay, I kept wiping my tears that kept forcing me to come out.

Previously, Bang Ilham left me to the Father at that time, also to some people who were waiting as well, who initially often talked with Bang Ilham.

Go home to my two brothers, and I sit staring alone. My sobs have not subsided since after my Brother disappeared from my sight.

Until finally the next big clock arrived, as usual people who were waiting for his family would scatter waiting for the glass room. Likewise with me, my eyes were fixed on Ranti, her condition remained as it was this afternoon, there was no change, her eyes were closed tightly and there was no movement from her body. Only the sound of the monitor sounding kept clinking, which monitored his condition.

Likewise with other patients, there was only one patient who was close to the glass, he had already opened his eyes after falling asleep for several days. It looks like his neck has a howl, ' what is it like Kak Ranti too? ' Inner.

After the clock closed, I returned to the waiting room. And tonight, I slept in the back room with a few people waiting too, but in this room most of them are women.

I began to adjust, mingling with those who were also struggling waiting for their families to heal as they were.

" Sir, who's waiting for you, "My first conversation with a mother. Oh yes, I remember, this mother is the one who always especially pray for her son when in the waiting room.

" I was waiting for my Brother, "I answered.

" Who are you waiting for? " I asked back.

" I was waiting for my son, he had a tumor on his head, "I was stunned. It means that the ICU is a place for sick people who are already serious.

" Well, what does her sister hurt? "

" My brother ran out of Operation Ma'am, "..

" Same, my son also ran out of surgery on his head, "..

" Who is your child? "..

" Just ten years old, fifth grade in her Elementary School, " ..

" Huh..! " I don't believe a ten-year-old can get a tumor. I am the only one who never knows.

" At first, he often complained of dizziness, when going home from school, often. But the teacher said, in class, he never complained. Until finally my son Elsa often fainted, and finally unconscious. After being taken to the IGD, it turns out Elsa has a tumor in her brain, " Actually I don't really understand what this mother is talking about.

" It's out Operation, it's been a week in the ICU, hasn't opened its eyes. But the doctor said the development is good, it is only the influence of drugs, "So on.

I just nodded, because I didn't really understand. Until we fell asleep. And now, I don't sleep on the floor anymore, because just now to Building A, I brought Bed Cover and pillows, as well as some of my clothes and toiletries, I brought them here.

Bed Cover as a base for me to sleep on, I folded it twice, at least enough for my body to lie down.

Until finally, the morning approached and the morning sun showed its light. I was invited to buy breakfast with Elsa's mother.

" Nyari breakfast yuk Kak, "She called me Big Brother, so that later if Elsa has woken up can meet me and call me Big Brother he said.

" Where do we eat, brother? " ask.

" I'll just eat in a pack, ma'am "I said. I am still reluctant to leave Ranti alone, afraid that there will be a call from the Doctor. I was actually hesitant to buy breakfast, but who else if not me.

" why? Brother is so tense? Just relax, brother, "

" Yes, I'm actually scared, my brother from yesterday sleeps on, "..

" Yes it may be due to the influence of drugs, do'a course hopefully soon improve and come back to us again. For example, Elsa, she's been a week, but I've always tried to think well of God, " she said. He also, if I have to continue praying for Ranti Kak to be immediately given healing.

Obroran finished when we got to the rice stall. I just bought a serving of nasi uduk and drank hot fresh tea.

Now my heart is a little prong, after many friends who are struggling to wait for the recovery of his family. They invited me to talk and get acquainted.

After breakfast, I went back to talking, joking around and there was a call for me.

" Family, Miss Ranti..! " The call from the ICU room was heard.

I immediately got up from my seat, and approached a Sister who was waiting at the entrance.
