30. Mona's Wound

According to Bayan's orders, Jonah waited for the boss in the lobby in the afternoon. Bayan was a little late because he had to finish some work earlier. Until the moment he arrived at the loby, the clock had shown at half-six p.m.

"Well I'm sorry for making you wait, Nus. Should have waited later without certainty, you can go home first," Bayan said when he got out of the elevator.

"Oh gapapa Sir. I understand that if you are busy, your work must also be a lot. I don't mind waiting here until you give me my orders to go home" said Jonah as he stood up.

"Ok, I salute your attitude. Let's go now" Bayan asked.

"Ready sir" said Jonah.

Soon, Bayan's car appears to have rolled over the highway. Bayan had to be a little patient because he was stuck in traffic, a situation that usually occurs in Jakarta during the afternoon on weekdays.

Bayan had pulled his car over on the side of the road because he had to perform Maghrib prayers congregated in one of the moshollas they met. After that Bayan continued his journey until he arrived in front of the house.

The clock was showing seven o'clock less. Yumi and Arti who opened the door were immediately introduced to Jonah.

"This is Jonah, he will be the security here from tomorrow. Well this is Yumi, this is Arti," Bayan said.

Yunus, Yumi and Arti shake hands with a smile. Bayan then invited Jonah into the house. Bayan also took Yunus around the house and told which points were fairly vulnerable around the home environment.

When Bayan took Jonah to the side of the house, right by the window of his room, Jonah's face looked different. Bayan, who was unaware of the change in Jonah's face, continued to speak.

Jonah felt the aura in that place was slightly different from the other places in Bayan's house. But because he did not want to be branded pretentious, Jonah kept everything in his heart.

" For a while, your working hours start at six in the afternoon until six in the morning. And tomorrow morning you don't have to go to the office again, let me take care of everything to the personnel so you don't have to worry" Bayan said as he drove Jonah up to the fence.

"Okay sir, thank you. I'm going home now, sir. Assalamualaikum," said Jonah.

"Wa alaikumsalam" Bayan said with a smile.

After dinner Bayan chose to sit in the living room. Bayan's face at that time seemed to sparkle happily. While watching news on television, both eyes occasionally glanced at his cellphone. Apparently Bayan had just contacted Anna via a video call.

Anna tells the story of the growth and development of their two children, Nathan and Nicko, during these days. Anna's story certainly makes Bayan happy.

Anna also asked when she and the children could return home. Anna said she missed the atmosphere of the house. Bayan knows what the wife means. Therefore Bayan promised to pick them up once all the problems were resolved.

Soon, Bayan's phone rings again. Bayan rushed to grab her phone from the table with a smile raised on the thought of Anna calling her. But Bayan's smile faded when he saw Rama's name on his phone screen. Bayan reluctantly takes the phone call.

"Assalamualaikum Yan !" greet Rama when the phone is connected.

"Wa aleikumsalam's. Why Ram ?" ask Bayan.

"Gue again at Riko's house. But he's not home. Neighbor said, Riko again nemenin Mona at the Hospital. He said Mona had a work accident" said Rama to surprise Bayan.

"Inna Lillahi wainna ilaihi roji'uun's. How is Mona doing now, how badly is her wound, where is she being treated at the Hospital ?" ask Bayan streak.

Rama laughed at Bayan's question. Patiently Rama explained everything. Rama also said that he had just managed to contact Riko to make sure the news was true.

Rama and Bayan arrive at the Hospital as the clock shows at eleven p.m. Their arrival was greeted by Riko who was waiting in the hospital lobby.

After hugging each other, Riko began to explain the chronology of the work accident that befell Mona.

Riko said Mona fell unconscious near the cloth cutting machine. Mona's condition that day was indeed weak and unhealthy. He had asked Mona to rest at home, but she refused.

Mona works in a famous fabric manufacturer factory on the outskirts of Jakarta. Mona served as a supervisor and was in charge of overseeing the fabric that had been finished rolling with the machine.

Mona was working on shift three. Things that Mona hasn't done since she married Riko. Because usually Mona only wants to work at a reasonable hour, which is between seven in the morning and eleven in the evening.

The company where Mona works does have work time divided into three shifts. Given the high demand in the market forced Mona to relinquish and join the three-day overtime shift.

Before the actual incident Mona did look unhealthy. Even from the night he complained about his head being very painful. When her coworkers reminded her to take a break at the company clinic, Mona agreed. But before he arrived at the clinic, Mona had fallen on the floor. Mona's falling position is her head first kissing the floor. As a result Mona's forehead was injured because of the hit body of the engine earlier.

Luckily another employee saw Mona lying on the floor. If not, maybe Mona will stay there until the third shift ends.

"Where's Mona doing now ?" ask Rama later.

"Severe," said Riko briefly.

"What do you mean, badly ?" ask Bayan not understand.

"Yes. In addition to a torn wound on the temple to his forehead, his forehead bone also cracked. Mona also suffered a kind of beating with a blunt object before she fell unconscious" said Riko riled.

Riko's answer certainly made Bayan and Rama surprised. The two stared at each other for a moment with an indecipherable look.

"You mean Lo Mona was hit or hurt by someone ?" ask Bayan.

Riko nodded then pushed her hair back with all five fingers of her right hand.

"So how, do you have a plan to sue the company because it has made Lo's wife fall and get hurt rich ?" ask Rama.

"Gue doesn't know Ram yet. If you have emotions, you want them to be rich. But I can't be rash. I also still have to wait for X-rays, if Mona's forehead really cracked or just bruised. If it really cracks, I need a lawyer to make the case "said Riko while rubbing her face.

For a moment the atmosphere between the three friends was silent gripping. They seem to be busy with their own thoughts.

"Can't we look at Mona now ?" ask Bayan suddenly.

Riko nodded and then invited her two best friends to visit Mona in the second-class inpatient room. When the door opened, Bayan and Rama could see Mona lying weakly on the bed. His head was wrapped in bandages and an infusion hose was hanging around Mona.

But Bayan narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw the location of the wound suffered by Mona. It was like he remembered something and it made him nervous.
