Failing to Run
13. Results of Eye Surgery



7 Days from the operation. The designated day opens


the bandage has arrived. Nuke's a little nervous. Today is his last day with Aldi.


Sad mixed happy. Sad to have to part with Aldi and stop


served him. Glad to know Aldi will see again. And will live more


good again.


“Nina is today my eye bandage opened?” ask Aldi without patience


“Iya mr Aldi, from earlier have asked 5 times loh. No patience?””


“Hihihi. I'm impatient but also at the same time scared,” Aldi's face sad.


“Do not be afraid I make sure everything goes as nowhere


should.”


“Nina you're next to me right?”


“Iy..iyaa.pasti.” Nuke was nervous


“Sorry Aldi I can't be by your side. You must be angry and


hate that I lied. Sorry.. later I will disappear from you,” Inner Nuke.


“Mr Aldi is ready? We open the bandages. My predictions


everything will go well. But all the gods decide. Surgical procedure


yesterday went well without a hitch. We hope the result will also


good. I'll start yes. Request a sister scissors.”


Nuke walked backwards towards the back of the room curtain without much


who knows. He moved slowly to wait for the result.


Nuke hides behind the curtain while Nina is already there


next Aldi.


The doctor scissors the plaster and slowly opens the bandage in


Aldi's eyes.


“Mr Aldi don't open your eyes immediately, let


cleaned first. The lights will be dimmed so that the eyes get used to the rays.”


The process is done carefully and slowly. The Eye of Aldi


clean from the rest of the medicine and dirt.


“Try Mr. Aldi open his eyes, maybe a little dizzy and


blurry. But I can receive the light. Slowly just.” The doctor gave orders


gently.


Aldi had already opened his eyes fully and blinked his wink.


“Mr Aldi can see this light?” The doctor shone in Aldi's eyes


with a small flashlight. Move left and right.


“But.”


"But your pupil responds well. Why could that be?


Try it again. I light up with a flashlight again huh. Do you see the light


now?"


“Yes I see light. But only light, not visible


anything.”


“Oh.. briefly yes... may not be used yet. We'll wait


some moments. Give me a drink first sister.”


20 Minutes had passed and it had been almost 45 minutes without success


outcomes.


“Sorry Mr. Aldi, we will evaluate again the failure today.


I'm pretty sure it worked. It might just take some time. There was never a condition


like these. And resolved after 2 x 24 hours.”


“So I haven't been able to see doc?”


‘For a while I say not yet. I will later


perform a series of checks. Have patience, Mr. Aldi. Better now


rest first yes. Let his eye muscles not strain.”


“Thank you doc already tried. I understand the operation


it failed. I don't blame anyone. Maybe it's my destiny.”


“Patient Mr. Aldi, we try and pray. Tomorrow morning


I will have another series of checks. Just rest. Excuse me


used to.”


“Ninaa... Ninaa... Why so far away?” Aldi panicked


Nuke immediately ran from behind the curtain and pulled Nina


She'd better stay Nina.


 “Why isn't there with me!?”


“Ya Mr. Aldi. I was always by the side of the master,” Nuke immediately came out of hiding after hearing Aldi's operation failed. It means he can still be on Aldi's side. There is still time to stay with him. In the corner of Nuke's lips was a sinful smile.


“Nina, the operation failed.” Aldi's tone of voice was disappointed.


“Maybe it takes Mr. Aldi, be patient yaa.”


“It's okay. It is not my sustenance yet. Maybe the vegetable party is less. There are a few glasses I pour into the flower pot. hihih.” Recognition


sins


“Hmmmm... naughty yaaa.. get caught now!”.


“Hihihih. I almost vomited back then.”


“Good vegetable party we extend to the eyes of Mr. Aldi


can heal!” nuke's proposal


“Aaaahh. Like eating ductile feathers and ants


rangrang together!”


“Can't already be such a provision! Especially there is


violation yes! I have to super watch!”


“Good. But you're still on my side, right?”


“Iyaa.. as long as paid by Mr. Aldi. Hehehhe.”


“Basic of your eyes. Your pay has doubled 10


time.”


“Huh? Did ya? Too many? Why that?”


“You deserve it. Did you never check


ATM?”


“Hihihi. not had time because all this time eating drink and Wifi.


I was at Aldi's house. So rarely take money.”


“Ya no longer need to be taken, if you need something say


I'll buy you.”


“Ja.jangan..i am not good Mr. Aldi. I'll take it in


ATM hospital deh.”


“As far as you come.”


“Mr Aldi... can't papa the operation has not been successful? My apologies


already gave too high expectations.”


“No, I'm used to. Where – where the risk exists.


Business is like that too. If you fail now, maybe you're lucky at something else? Who


who knows?”


“Waaah.. Mr. Aldi is getting wiser. We keep trying, yeah,


hope there is a second chance! Fighting!”


"I'm a little sad. Can you hug me..?" Moduuuss, look for opportunities.


"Alright. don't be sad, Mr. Aldi. I'm always by your side." Nuke hugged Aldi gently and stroked his back. Being in this position is very comfortable Nuke wants to exchange for his salary even once.


Aldi hugged Nuke tightly and smiled. He was just pretending.


He can see but he doesn't want Nuke to leave. Sorry Nuke now


it was my turn to lie to you. We impress.

Flashbacks


In the preparation room,


Aldi is not completely sedated. Because of their habit of consuming


alcohol then the anesthetic rate in him is higher. And he has not been totally sedated.


So he hears all the conversations Nuke and Nina are exchanging roles.


“So all this time Nina was Nuke. The old nukeku. I feel comfortable being next to him. And Nuke treated me gently and kindly. Nuke, let me make up for my mistake first.”


On the day of opening the bandage Aldi already had a plan like this. He will deny his recovery, Nuke is it our destiny to be together after all these years we have been apart?  I don't want you to leave. If I recover, you'll leave me. I don't want you to go, baby. Let me keep going blind. Let it always be you


accompany. Perfect plan.”

“I want to sleep, please help.” Aldi is getting spoiled.


“Alright. I made a warm nest for Mr. Aldi.”


Aldi likes to make a warm nest in his mattress, later Nuke gives a blanket


and roll around Aldi comfortably and warmly from a soft fur blanket.


The first time Nuke did it was when Aldi was shivering because


fevers. Since then Aldi likes the way Nuke spoils him.
