Love for Zahra (END)

95. Accident

"Don't you want to stay here?" ask Mrs Ratih at nightfall.

"Yes, Mother. I want to accompany Zahra. Tomorrow morning I return to the city" replied the man.

"Mother want to talk to you for a second?" ask Mrs Ratih.

"What's the Mother?"

"Just let Zahra be with Efelin for a moment."

The man nodded in compliance with the request of his future mother-in-law.

"Before a minute, dear," she said to Zahra.

He immediately followed Mrs Ratih out of the room. He was sitting in the front waiting chair of the room.

"What's up, Mommy?" tanyanya shortly after he sat down near Bu Ratih.

"If something bad happens to my daughter, will you still marry her, son?"

"What does Mother mean to talk like that? Zahra's gonna be cured, Bun." Ega looked at the old face in front of him with an indecipherable look.

"I will do anything for Zahra, Mother. I will find the best specialist for him" said the man steady.

"Mother scared. The worst possibility is there, son. If he can't hear anymore. Do you still love your child like you do now?"

For a long time the man was silent. Making the middle-aged woman in front of him guess the contents of the head of his son's future husband.

"Mother don't worry. I'll do anything for Zahra's recovery." He clasped both hands of Mrs Ratih to convince her.

"Mother please. If you don't love her anymore. Don't give any more hope to your child."

"Why does Mother speak like that?"

"Because Mommy doesn't want her to get more hurt later in the day."

"Trust, Mother. I loved her. Whatever happens to him I'll still love him."

The mobile vibration in the pocket of Ega pants paused their chatter.

"Sorry, Mother. I pick up the phone first," she told Mrs Ratih.

Ega stood up and walked slightly away from Bu Ratih.

"Hello, Pa, what's up?" he asked when he picked up the phone from his father.

"Where? I'll be there soon."

With a panicked and anxious face Ega approached Bu Ratih who was still sitting in the waiting chair.

"Mother, my papa was in an accident. I have to get there right away. Please pass it on to Zahra," she said.

"Be careful, kid. I hope Mr. Adnan is okay."

Madam Ratih took off Ega with a feeling of anxiety. The man panicked after receiving a phone call.

The middle-aged woman went back inside Zahra's nursing room. He approached his son who was sitting on the bed.

"Where is it, Bun?" asked Zahra in a soft voice.

"She just got her papa's phone in an accident" replied Mrs Ratih.

"What a fact, Bun? Accident where?" ask Efelin.

Zahra could only second guess what the two of them were talking about. By looking at the movement of the lips of the mother and her sister. Unfortunately, he could not find what they were talking about.

Efelin who saw her brother's confusion immediately took his phone and immediately typed what their mother said.

"Where's the accident? How's Papa Adnan doing?" ask the girl after reading her sister's writing.

Still don't know. Brother try to chat Kak Ega for nanyain Om Adnan circumstances. Efelin re-typed the words for her brother to read.

Zahra immediately picked up her phone and did what Efelin suggested.

Ega drove his car at full speed to the RSSA house where the caller was told.

Until at the border of the city and the district the streets began to be crowded so that Ega slowed down the pace of his car. He was constantly hoping that nothing bad would happen to his father.

After arriving at the hospital he immediately went to the information section to ask the whereabouts of the father. Once he found out his papa was still in IGD he immediately headed to the room which was in the northern part of the information room.

He also tried to call his father's mobile number to ask where the person who helped his father was.

"Bapa where? I'm near the IGD" Ega said when the phone call was missed.

"Oh. Yes, I saw Father. Good. I'm going there."

He immediately approached the man in a leather jacket who answered his phone just now.

"I'm Ega. How's my papa doing?"

"I'm from the police. Mr. Adnan's condition is quite serious now still in the care of doctors" said the person who claimed from the police. Along with that he also returned Papa Adnan's phone to Ega.

"Thank you. Can I tell you what the chronology is?" tanya Ega tried to calm down.

"Your papa's car was hit by a truck from the opposite direction. Our truck driver was drowsy and driving at high speed. And finally hit your papa's car. The front of your papa's car is cringed badly. And the victim was pinned down so he was seriously injured" the police said.

Zahra, Efelin and Bu Ratih are anxiously awaiting news from Ega. They are also worried about the situation of Mr. Adnan who had an accident.

"Sir, haven't been in bales yet?" efelin asked his brother.

Zahra noticed the movement of her sister's lips trying to guess what she was saying.

Efelin who had forgotten about her brother's condition immediately typed out what he said just now.

After reading her sister's writing on the phone, Zahra showed her own phone with a sad look.

"Bun, my ears are buzzing, from earlier. Long ago made me dizzy and nauseous," lamented the girl breaking the silence of her nursery.

"A moment, you call the doctor" answered the mother and immediately pressed the emergency button near Zahra's bed.

Not long after, a doctor entered Zahra's ward.

"Doctor, my son complains of his ears buzzing and nausea" Ms Ratih told the doctor.

"Okay, I'll check first, yes" the doctor replied and immediately did an examination.

*****

The sound of a call from the loudspeaker was heard by the two of them who announced the call to Mr. Adnan's family.

Ega and the police immediately went to the source of the voice. Anxiety dominates Ega's feelings. In his heart he ceaselessly prayed that his father would be fine.

Back the loudspeaker was heard calling Mr. Adnan's family. Makes Ega more overwhelmed with anxiety.

"I'm a patient's family on behalf of Adnan" Ega said as soon as he arrived at the IGD room.

"The patient must immediately perform surgery because there is a blood clot in my lungs" said the doctor who handles Mr. Adnan.

"Do Doctor. Save my papa," said Ega.

"Save my papa the doctor. Please heal my papa," the man asked.

"We'll do our best for your papa. Please take care of the administration immediately." The doctor walked away leaving the weakened drooping Ega. Assisted by the police, Ega walked to the nearest seat.

"Father.." - Ega was powerless to endure her grief.

He lowered his head deeply hiding his sadness.

"You should immediately take care of your papa administration to be dealt with immediately" said the police reminded.

"If you'd like, I can help you manage," the cop bargained.

"Thank you, Sir. I can do it myself," replied Ega in a hoarse voice holding back her cries.

The cop couldn't bear to leave Ega alone there. He decided to accompany the man for a while longer before returning to his office.
