Last Mate

3. Hospital

This morning, Rafi's doctor, who is in charge of Arumi's treatment, examined Arumi's condition. Doctor Rafi said, Arumi's condition began to improve what else he had started to talk again. That's been a good step forward over the past month.

Unceasingly, Ningrum gave thanks because his son had started to improve. Although sometimes Arumi is still pensive. "What do you want to eat today..? I'll buy it." bargain Ningrum.

"Humm, just buy some fried chicken" replied Arumi

"Yes you've been waiting here, mommy got down first buy you fried chicken." Arumi just nodded in response.

"Oh yes, later if necessary just call the sisters. I'll stay, baby."

After that, Ningrum passed away going towards the cafeteria to buy his daughter's order. Today he is very happy because Arumi will soon be healed.

Dikantin RS's...

Almost all the tables in the cafeteria were filled with consumers. At one of the tables, in the corner of the room. Sitting a man in pitch black. He seemed to be enjoying his lunch there.

"Can join..?" ask Rafi's doctor who looks like he has no place to sit.

The man looked up and let him sit down. "Thank you." said Doctor Rafi. Just nodding.

"Doctor Rafi tumben eat dikantin.?" ask the man.

"Ah. My wife is craving, so I'm not stocked today."

"Oh, it turns out so."

"Yes. But by the way, doctor Akhtar when did it come from Malaysia..?"

Yes, the black man was named, Akhtar Rafzan Wijaya. A surgeon specialist. He always travels out of town and even the country. Because of his expertise and skills, he rarely stayed at International Medical hospitals.

"It's been two weeks" Akhtar replied

"Lho has been a long time. How I just saw ya."

"Doctor Rafi is too busy to realize I'm home."

"Eh, yes. But kayak is right. I've been busy lately, having to keep an eye on that little special patient."

"Special patient..?"

"Ah, the time of doctor Akhtar did not know about my patient this one, whose name is Arumi. Almost one hospital knows, but Akhtar's doctor didn't know..?"

"I'm not a gossiper like those who know everything."

"Hehehe.. Really this is doctor Akhtar.because doctor Akhtar does not like gossip how if I just tell."

"Lho since when did Rafi doctor follow you as a gossip..?"

"Because Rafi's doctor has offered so I have to listen."

They finally spoke while eating their lunch. Doctor Rafi looks very enthusiastic about telling the condition of his special patient.

"Well, my patient Arumi has been depressed since the accident. Because of the accident, he was in a coma for a week. After realizing she was looking for a husband who had just married her, but unfortunately her husband was not helped."

"New bride..?"

"Yes. I heard from his mother that the time of their accident was on the way to his wedding reception but God said something else. The car they were riding in had a collision. Her husband died on the spot and Arumi was lucky to be saved that time. Iiihh, horrified right?"

"Because of knowing the husband died, Arumi became shocked and always cried and even shouted to call her husband's name. Several times also tried to commit suicide, fortunately there are those who see so still how to help again. I as his doctor feel sorry for Arumi at this young age he had to experience such an incident. If we are in love, it is difficult to separate."

"Trus, why is he such a special patient..?" ask Akhtar

"Well, why do I say he's my special patient because he's so smart. Sometimes he pretends to smile to show that he is okay, after our vigilance decreases he will try to kill himself again. And his condition is now looking better, he is starting to talk to his mother again and smile again. But I was a little worried, afraid it was all fake. So I asked her mother to keep an eye on her. Yeah hopefully he's really getting better."

Akhtar listened to Rafi's doctor's story about his special patient, until his lunch ran out. But as he gulped down his drinking water, accidentally his sharp eyes caught the middle-aged woman who was buying something in the cafeteria.

"Dok, isn't that the mother of your special patient..?" akhtar asked while pointing at a middle-aged woman who was smiling.

Doctor Rafi followed the direction pointed by Akhtar. "Oh yes. That's my special patient's mother. Uh, how did Akhtar's doctor know it was his mother, hayoo got caught."

"It doesn't matter where I know from, it's important now that her mother is here that she's alone."

"Eh, yes. Oh, this is bad, let's go there."

The two of them immediately approached Ningrum. "Lho, Ningrum's mother is here..?" asked Rafi's doctor while patting Ningrum's shoulder gently

Ningrum turned his head because he felt his shoulders being patted by the person behind him. "Eh. Doctor Rafi, this is Arumi asking to buy fried chicken he said he wanted. Doctor's having lunch..?"

"Yes, it's just finished. Who's taking care of Arumi, ma'am..?" said Dr. Rafi basa stale.

"Oh before I left already told the sisters to go first. Why yes, Doc?"

"WHAT..!" pekik Akhtar and Rafi together.

Akhtar immediately ran towards the ward where Arumi was being treated. He hoped that what he thought would not happen. While Ningrum was surprised by the reaction of the handsome doctor next to Rafi's doctor. It was actually not only Ningrum who was shocked, but doctor Rafi as well. He was amazed by the swift attitude of his doctor friend. But no matter what the reason, the most important is the safety of the patient.

"Sorry, Doc. What's this really about..?" asked Ningrum who still did not understand the situation.

"Come, Mom. Arumi must always be monitored not to be left behind. I'm afraid he's trying to kill himself again like that."

"WHAT..!"

Ningrum was shocked to death hearing the statement of doctor Rafi. How could his son do that again? Didn't his son improve as Rafi's doctor had said before? Various thoughts raged in Ningrum's head, but he prayed that the feared thing would not happen to his son again.
