Love In Butterfly Needles

Second Meeting

The 2nd floor of XX Hospital, precisely in a long room with dozens of beds and in each bed has a complete machine with its Monitor. Yes, that room is the Hemodialysis Room for the City's dialysis patients.

Every day, the bed was filled with people who hung their lives and health with the blood washer. In one week, each patient will undergo 2 times the action of hemodialysis.From morning to evening before Maghrib, the machine will continue to spin, the machine will continue to spin, washing the blood by separating fluids and toxic substances that are harmful to the Human body.

Here Dena will spend the journey of her life, so that she can do normal activities again as usual.

It appears that some officers or Nurse Dialysis in the room was busy handling patients who they considered as relatives. Four people that morning were in charge of handling patients this morning who will undergo action for 4 hours. Similarly, during the day, there will be 4 staff who take turns to devote themselves to caring for patients during the day.

"This morning there is one more new patient" said a female nurse named Risma

"From hospitalization?" the nurse next to him called Lukas

Risma nodded

A man sitting in front of a computer screen seemed to be busy working on something, he was one of the senior staff in the room.

"Luke, get one machine on the other end" the man ordered.

Luke deftly pulled out a bed and turned on the hemodialysis machine to prepare for the new patient this morning.

A young female nurse named Laras gave the file to the senior male nurse sitting in front of her. The 33-year-old man has served almost 9 years in this hospital as a nurse dialysis. His face looks shady, so soothing the eyes of the women who look at him, a thin beard on his pointy chin makes the more complete charm of the man.

"This is a file file with the results of his screening Mas, the nurse of the Hospital Room who submitted it" said Laras

The man checked the files he had been given, making sure all HIV , HbsAg, and HCV screening results were negative. The man furrowed his dense black eyebrows, his lentic eyelashes were increasingly visible when his facial expression was like that. He read the file in front of him,

Name: Dena Sanlova

Age: 27 years

He seemed familiar with the name, trying to remember if he had a friend named Dena. But it felt like he had no girl friend younger than him named Dena.

...****************...

Meanwhile, on the 3rd Floor of the Hospital, Denis was preparing to go to Hemodialysis Room. That morning, he was accompanied by Mother and Brother Anjani while Father and Hasbi could not come to the hospital because of work that could not be left behind.

Dena washed her face in the bathroom sink, long ago she stared at her face which looked pale at this moment. Dena tried to remember what she looked like before she was sentenced to illness like this. In the past she always wanted to look perfect even though enough with thin makeup on her face had made her admired by people who saw her. He does have a sweet face, which will not be bored in the eyes continuously. But now?? Even to apply a thin lipstick on her lips, she was not excited.

Mom with heart helps Dena with clothes, Mom is always afraid to see the infusion needle impaled on Dena's wrist. Many times he always asked Dena if the needle made him sick?

Before long, the room attendant entered with a wheelchair

"Is the lady ready?" Now it's time for Miss to undergo the first act of Miss in the hemodialysis room, the nurse said.

Dena steadily nodded her head, she could not even sleep thinking about how this day would go through. Many things that he contemplated until he really established his heart and determined will go through all this process whatever the risk.

"Don't accepting the reality of life is part of our way of surviving"

"Fill your heart to the brim not by hope but by the power to accept reality".. That was how Dena was impregnating her heart right now.

Dena read the Writing in the Room in front of her "Hemodialysis Room", heard from far away the sound of the engine alarm, making Dena more goosebumps.

With the infusion still attached to his left hand, Dena bowed lethargic at the nurse's thrust while Mother and Kak Anjani followed behind her .

"Good morning, this is the patient from the Hospital Room who will undergo dialysis" the nurse said to one of the room officials named Lukas

"Well, let's leave it to us who will handle it" Lukas replied as he took over the wheelchair and pushed Dena to the very end of the bed in the room.

Dena looked awkward because the patient who looked sitting there was also a patient who was lying down to notice his arrival. Dena did not even throw a smile at all, her eyes were just straight ahead. Only Mother and Sister Anjani who looked stale greeted the people in the room. There were some who were with his family.

The patient there were some who whispered to see the arrival of Dena, of course what they were talking about was "still young once this new patient" there were also those who looked on pity as if saying "pity yes, yes,though she was beautiful" so I guess they looked at Dena, reminding them the first time they had to go into this room. It must have been hard for this sweet, very young girl to get through, they muttered.

Dena with her heart lay on the bed prepared for her at the very end of the room. The nurse, named Lukas, seemed to be setting some settings in the machine. Dena saw a machine next to her with a monitor screen bearing numbers that Dena still could not understand.

On the lower left side of the machine there is a tube containing granules such as Detergent powder,while at the top there is a dializer tube that is equipped with two long hoses that will be connected to the needle that will be inserted in the hands and thighs of the patient.

Lukas measured Dena's blood pressure, asking questions such as weight and checking if there was any swelling in her ankle and surroundings. Mother was next to Dena, clasping her daughter's hand tightly and unceasingly whispering words of encouragement to keep Dena calm.

At that time, when Dena was preparing her body and soul to strengthen and strengthen the heart to start the process of dialysis for the first time, the,at that moment a man who was not expected by Dena appeared before her wearing the same white uniform as Luke. The man approached Luke, looking towards Dena. And a split second their gazes met and stared at each other.

"You?" said the man, remembering when he had met this woman.

Dena who was no less surprised, spontaneous said the name..

"MAS ADAM'S"...

" We seem to have met?" say Mas Adam

Dena is confused between being happy or sad to hear it. He was happy to meet again with this warm man before him, but on one hand his spirit was broken because even Mas Adam forgot when they had met. That means he doesn't even remember himself one bit. Unlike Dena who after the meeting always hoped to meet again and expect more from their introductions.

"Lord, you really granted my wish"

"I once said and wished that You would meet me again with this man under any circumstances"

"And now, look... I met her again in this state of me"

Dena just fixated, her lips felt heavy and confused just to answer the question Mas Adam did they ever meet?

"There's a desire he can't express"

" There is a desire he cannot express"

"However, reality shows that the situation was left"

" Until you don't know what it's going to be like in the end"

Meanwhile, in the corner there... Anjani remembered the name "ADAM", the name she spoke when she was unconscious and hysterically shouting. Anjani turned to the man. " Could it be him?"
