Dilemmas

Lika paced back and forth in front of Sarah's room, the time showed at 4 am, Sarah's condition was critical, her consciousness decreased, in there were doctors and nurses who handled it.

At the end of the hallway, Ricky walked over to Lika who was agitated, the man's eyes red as if still holding back his sleepiness.

"Sir Ricky.thank God you came.I'm afraid, without you it seems like Sarah looks so down..." Said Lika.

"Why are you so deeply present in my life.not just to my children, even with Sarah you care so much.why do I get to know you so late..." Ricky immediately hugged Lika, she cried, venting all her emotions. Lika was claustrophobic in the arms of Ricky who was so tightly hugging him, as if he did not want to be released again.

"Sir Ricky..do not be like this please..." Lirih. The girl's tears also drip slowly.

"I can't afford..I'm no longer strong to experience this... Why does all this have to happen when I just found you?" Ricky. Body shaking.

Lika let go of Ricky's embrace slowly, she rubbed the man's tears with both hands. Ricky caught both of Lika's hands then kissed her gently.

"Thanks..." Whisper Ricky.

"You must be strong sir.for the sake of your children.also your ex-wife who currently needs you most..." Lika said with a smile.

The door of the room opened, a doctor approached them.

"Are you the patient's family?" Ask the doctor. The senior-looking doctor, about 45 years old, was named Doctor Adam.

"Yes doc.I'm her ex-husband..." Answer Ricky.

"What's Sarah Dok's condition..?" Tanya Lika chimed.

"The patient's condition is very unstable until now, even his cancer cells have begun to spread to other parts of the body, so he often feels pain...." It was Dr. Adam.

"Will he be healed?" Ask Lika again.

"Healing and miracles will always be there, the patient's psychic condition is also very influential.if the patient is happy, happy or happy, a positive aura will always be there, and it greatly supports his health..." Added doctor Adam.

"Can we come in now, Doc?" Ask Ricky.

"Please.talk slowly..." Doctor Adam said as he passed away from the place.

Ricky and Lika open the door of the room and enter, the nurse is done with her task, and after the nurse exits, Lika approaches Sarah.

"Sarah's sister.as I promised.pak Ricky has come..." Lika's whisperings near Sarah's ears.

Sarah kept her eyes closed, an oxygen hose covering part of her face.

"Sir Ricky.ayo come closer.Speak something to him..." Lika said as she pulled Ricky's hand closer to Sarah.

Ricky slowly held Sarah's hand, rubbed her hair and looked at her face.

"Sarah.buh your eyes..." Said Ricky.

Slowly Sarah opened her eyes, there was a longing in those eyes, a smile on her back from her lips that were still attached to oxygen. Then his hand tried to let go, Sarah wanted to talk.

"I'm here Sarah..." Ricky. A nurse came in to check on her.

"Well, his consciousness has appeared.it's okay to take off his oxygen tube, so that he can communicate..." The nurse said while helping to release the oxygen attached to Sarah's face.

Sarah looked at the face of the man in front of her.

"Yes.I will not leave you.now rest..." Answer Ricky. At first glance he glanced at Lika who was standing at the corner of the room.

"I.want to meet our children.Bring them here..."

"Yes.I'll take her.sleep..."

"No. If I sleep you will be lost to me. I will not lose you again..." Said Sarah. Ricky's speechless. Sarah held onto Ricky's hand with all her strength, Ricky could only let it go, her eyes once again glancing towards Lika who was beginning to wedge toward him.

"I'm going home, Ricky..." Said Lika. While her right hand held Sarah's hand, her left hand held Lika's.

"Don't go..." Ricky said.

"Sorry.I have to go home.pick Sarah quickly recover yes.ada pak Ricky who is always by your side..." Said Lika while releasing Ricky's hand that held her. Then immediately turned his body away from the room. Ricky was about to get up and chase, but Sarah's hand was getting tighter.

Lika walked quickly down the hospital hallway, her heart was so sore, but as hard as she could endure it, the feeling that was engulfing her heart at this moment made the tears that kept dripping down her cheeks.

In the parking lot, he took his motorcycle that has been 2 days staying here, slowly he drove his motorbike to walk through the cold air that morning, even the sun still seemed reluctant to come out of the dispute.

After Lika got to her house and parked her motorbike, then she slowly opened the door of her house that was not locked, Grandma was seen sitting on the sofa while watching the morning news on TV.

"For Nek..tumben early in the morning have seen the news..." Sapa Lika while sitting next to her grandmother.

"When have I ever been serious? Next month we're preparing to move out of here, I'm also going to submit my resignation letter at school..." Sahut Lika steady.

"You've been thinking long Lika? Don't make your decision because of a momentary emotion..." Say Grandma.

"I'm so thinking long, Grandma, we're gonna start a new life there..." Answer Lika.
