I've seen you

Conscious Of The Coma

Lisa cupped both of Rizal's cheeks. "Come on, get up..." Still no response. "Sister, just now Rizal said he would be back soon. Sis..."

"Sorry, we can't wait any longer" the nurse pulled Lisa away from the cage.

"Don't!!" Again, Lisa pushed the nurse. He screamed like crazy. "Don't! Don't let go!!" Lisa held Rizal's hand again. "Come, quickly wake up. I beg...." Lisa continues to kiss Rizal's hand until Rizal's hand is wet with tears.

Suddenly the electrocardiograph went back to normal sounding and Rizal appeared to take a deep breath. A few moments later his breathing regained order and his oxygen saturation rose again.

"Rizal..."

"It's a miracle.."

"Sister Rizal. Sis..." Lisa brought her face closer. He saw Rizal's eyes slowly opening.

"Li-sa.." one word that came out of Rizal's mouth made a pile of worries in Lisa's heart break.

"Sister, why did Rizal come here so long ago?" Lisa rubbed Rizal's cheeks while smiling in her tears.

From the corner of Rizal's eyes now also flow the clear liquid. She cried for the first time in front of Lisa. "So it's jammed, Lis..." Rizal smiled and was still in his tears.

"Son Rizal can say..."

"I don't have that power yet."

Whether the conversation was what they meant, clearly Ms. Ela and Mr. Alan could now smile in their tears. Over and over again they gave thanks because Rizal managed to escape death.

Lisa now put her head on Rizal's shoulder and half-hugged him. "Don't stay with me anymore. I'm scared..."

Rizal raises his hand slowly to rub Lisa's hair. "Yes. Don't be sad anymore..."

Lisa took off her arms, wiped her tears and made room for Mr. Alan and Ms. Ela.

"Rizal, mommy's relieved you finally realized baby." Miss Ela rubbed Rizal's hair gently.

"Ma, Mum. Sorry Rizal has made Mama and Papa sad."

Miss Ela shook her head. "No dear. No need to apologize."

"I'm sorry, we checked the patient's condition first. Please wait outside yes, if the patient's condition is stable we will move to the ward."

They obey the words of the doctor. Lisa refuses to leave Rizal.

"Lisa, is Rizal conscious?" asked the god who had just been waiting in front of the room.

Lisa nodded her head.

"Thank God. I deg-deg a lot earlier. Finally you're conscious too, Zal."

They wait for the results of the investigation with anxious hopes.

A few minutes later the doctor came out. Again, he was immediately invaded by the parents of Rizal and Lisa.

"This is a miracle. There were no serious injuries to the chest. Everything is stable. Just wait for recovery. In a moment, we'll move him to the nursery."

All the burden of the mind is gone.

"Ma, our son is strong..." Mr. Alan hugged his embrace to Ms. Ela.

"Yes, hopefully no more incidents like this Pa."

"Yes, Amen.."

...***...

"Lis, come in. No papa." said Miss Ela who came out with Mr. Alan.

Lisa smile. He finally got to meet Rizal. He immediately stood up followed by the Gods.

"Lis, I'd like to see Rizal too." The god smiled at Miss Ela. "I, come in Aunty."

"Yes, please."

Lisa walked closer. Now Lisa has returned to see Rizal's smile, after almost a month Rizal just lying weak. Lisa was sitting in the chair next to the cage. He still looks at each other with Rizal. There were a lot of words Lisa wanted to say but they were all stuck.

"What's wrong?" rizal asked in his weak voice.

"I'm kangen, sister." The God's voice was contrived and aimed to tease Lisa, making Lisa turn her head. He also did not realize the God was following him.

"Kok, you come along anyway, Wa."

"Gue will also want to see the situation of Rizal. You are worried."

"Call me!!"

"Lagian lo, later date him if Rizal has healed."

Rizal smiled hearing they could have another small debate. "Thank you Wa. Take care of Lisa."

"Either. I don't know how many times you've told me to take care of Lisa. But from now on I don't want to. My trauma. Take care of Lisa herself." The god approached and patted Rizal on the shoulder.

Rizal smiled and nodded. "That's for sure, Wa."

"Lo's healing fast."

Rizal nodded his head.

"Lisa, it's malem. You're coming home with me, aren't you?" ask the God who only got a look from Lisa. A look that seemed to drive away the gods. "OKAY. I'll wait outside." God out of the room.

"Why? It's late, you're not home?"

Lisa shook her head. "I still miss Rizal. Is Rizal's brother not kangen?"

"Bangetpus. More than just kangen."

Lisa clasped Rizal's hand and this time her hand was returned by Rizal. Again, Lisa smiled feeling the warmth of that hand again.

"Yes, I went home first, brother. It's late, Rizal quickly rested. Tomorrow morning, I'm here again." Lisa stood up but Rizal did not let go of her hand. "Why Brother?"

"Usually you think you did the same thing to me before you came home."

Lisa rolled her eyeballs. Did he, Rizal knew that he always kissed Rizal's forehead before coming home. Lisa was embarrassed. Finally he brought his face closer and kissed Rizal on the forehead.

Rizal closed his eyes as he felt the warmth of Lisa's kiss.

"Be healthy fast, yes..."

"Thank you, baby.." Yes, it is not healthy Rizal has started mode.

Lisa smiled and rubbed Rizal's cheek for a moment. "I'm home..."

"Yes, be careful." Rizal let go of his hand and looked at Lisa's back that was disappearing behind the door.

The tense moments are over. They pray, hopefully there will be no more events like this. Just one time that makes Lisa's world seem to be over.
