The doctor was explaining Mita's condition to her parents.
From several medical actions, the previous one was done and the history of the disease suffered by Mita, the doctor made a preliminary conclusion, if Mita had a brain tumor.
"Dok's brain tumor?"
Papa and his mother Mita, were very surprised by the information given by the doctor just now.
They reflexively repeated the doctor's words, asking the same question.
"Yes Father and Mother. Your child, has a brain tumor or can be said to be a brain cancer."
"But this is still an early guess. Need special tests, to find out whether it is true or just another disease."
His doctor then continued his explanation to his parents Mita, about this brain tumor.
A collection or growth of abnormal cells that are cancerous or non-cancerous in the brain.
Tumors can start in the brain, or cancer elsewhere in the body can spread to the brain.
Her mother, Mita, was crying beside her husband, who was holding her.
Their only child, Mita. Her twin sister Mita has been dead since she was a baby.
Mita was born a twin, but her twin sister has died. That was why, Mita no longer had any siblings.
At home, there is another brother Mita. His brother, who was already a big man. But, it is a cousin, who was raised by both of his parents Mita as a child, as both of his parents were already absent due to a car accident.
And now, his brother has graduated college. Help work in Mita's papa's office.
"Hopefully, this has not been harmful. And therefore, it must be dealt with immediately, sir, ma'am."
Mama Mita, increasingly sobbing loudly, after the doctor finished giving an explanation.
"Do your best for the recovery of my child Doc. If it's necessary to be admitted to a larger, more complete hospital, please tell Doc, where is that hospital?"
The doctor nodded his head, understanding what and how it felt to the two people currently before him.
He has often, faced the families of patients, who are in the current state.
*****
In the patient's room where Mita was being treated.
"You've been believing this a lot, or just this once Deck?" tanya Dika, who was feeling curious and upset as well.
She was curious about what she was suffering from her boyfriend.
But, Dika also felt annoyed because, if Mita often experienced something similar, this would be troublesome for her.
'What's it about having a girlfriend, if it's hard!'
Such was the thought of Dika, who was waiting for Mita.
"Three times Brother. But twice at home. Just this time in a public place."
Mita gave an answer, to the question Dika asked her. He thought if, Dika felt pity, and would pay more attention to her later.
"Hopefully, nothing serious. Mita also does not want this until it happens again really," said Mita hopeful, when Dika just silence, hearing the answer earlier.
Shortly thereafter, Mita's parents returned.
The two of them, looking sad, but immediately put on a smile, once inside and saw his son, Mita.
"What's doctor Pa saying, Ma?" mita asked, as soon as they got near her bed.
"Thank you Nak Dika," said Mita, thanking her son's girlfriend.
Dika just nodded with a smile, then took a few steps back, so that his father Mita also had room to talk to his son.
"Ma," called Mita, because she had not yet gotten an answer to the question she had asked earlier.
"It's okay, honey. You're just a migraine. It will also heal quickly. You are calm."
Mita's father answered the question, calming the heart and mind of his son, Mita. He knew if, his wife, could not possibly explain to him Mita, how she was actually going through at the moment.
"Totally Ma?" mita asked again, assuring that, what her father said was true.
Mama Mita, seemed to nod in affirming her own husband's words, with a faint smile.
He endured his grief and tears, so that his son would not increase the burden of his mind.
After a while later, when Mita began to fall asleep again due to the effects of the drug, Dika paid her leave first.
"Son Dika. Oma wanted to talk to Dika's son," his father Mita said, asking his son's girlfriend, to talk about Mita outside the room.
"yes Om. Let's Auntie, if you'll excuse me."
"Oya Nak Dika's. Thank you, for helping and waiting for Mita," replied his mother Mita, who thought that Dika was the one who helped and took Mita to the hospital.
Once outside the room, Mita's father conveys something to Dika, and explains the state of Mita.
"What Om, brain cancer?"
Dika was surprised, when his father Mita finished giving an explanation to him about what the disease suffered by his son.
"Yes to Dika. Om hope, son Dika did not tell this to Mita himself. And Om hopes, son Dika will accompany Mita, and give encouragement, so that Mita can undergo all the healing procedures that she will do."
"It's not severe, and it's still curable."
Mita's father, again gave an explanation to Dika, what and how Mita now.
"Yes Om. But, Dika is currently busy in college Om. Theses and hearings for the final task as well. So, Dika also can not promise, can accompany Mita kept Om."
Dika makes excuses, if he is busy with college and his duties.
When in fact, he just did not want to bother, accompanying Mita who was sick.
This will make him bored and bored, if you have to be in the hospital every day, just to accompany Mita.
Mita's father, took a deep breath. He knew that the final year students were busy, and it took time to think and do all the campus tasks.
"It's okay, Dika. But, Om hope, you can occasionally come and give spirit to Mita. Yea?"
With her understanding, her father Mita still thought good things about her future daughter-in-law.
"Yes Om definitely. Hopefully, Mita is not okay, just as the doctor said. And he'll be cured soon."
"Aamiinu. Thank you, Dika." His father Mita, thanked Dika, who prayed for his son to recover quickly and be able to return to health.
"Come Om. Dika went home first," said Dika, to Mita's father.
"Yes, be careful, kid. Greetings to your mom and dad."
Dika nodded in agreement, a request from his father Mita.
Mita's father did know her father and mother, because they were business partners.
And because of their business relationship as well, Dika and Mita became close and eventually became lovers.
