Love In Butterfly Needles

Operation Preparation

Now the sky has turned blue and my heart has formed a silent space that tipped bitterly.

Shortness of longing that seems to stir want to immediately make out.

O horizon, say hello to my sorrow, where space and time are no longer friendly to greet the face of your face.

Adrian was still sitting on the balcony of the apartment that night, he still could not fall asleep.

He had been here for two months, leaving his wife and son far away in town. The lights that color the sky of the capital city can be seen Adrian from above here.

He has taken care of advocacy to a notary, just waiting for the call to the letter to be completed. Adam has also signed up Adrian as a kidney donor at the hospital.

Adrian was still sitting dumbstruck when Mas Adam approached him.

" Adrian, haven't you slept?", asked Mas Adam.

Adrian looked back, hearing his name called.

" Not Mas, I still want to enjoy the night breeze" replied Adrian briefly.

" I have good news for you Adrian, the file in the notary is done".

Mas Adam's sentence just felt as cool as the wind that blows tonight.

Adrian turned his wheelchair, looking excited.

" really? So when can we start?".

" Tomorrow we go to the notary to retrieve the file and then you can check up on some poly to ensure your health".

That night, after hearing the exciting news from Mas Adam, then Adrian could fall asleep.

The day changed, until it was not felt when this was entering the sixth month Adrian was in the capital. His longing has been very strong, although every day he and Dena always communicate via telephone. But never able to treat his longing in the woman. The woman he used to always touch on his long nights.

While Mas Adam for six months several times back and forth from Jakarta to their city. Many things that Mas Adam had to do, he had to take care of his business and of course he also missed his son Juna.

In the sixth month, in the morning Mas Adam got a call from the hospital.

" Good morning, with Mr Adam?", a female voice was heard greeting on the other end of the phone.

" Yes my own".

" Mr. Adam, we from XX Hospital want to inform that the registration for kidney transplants on behalf of Mr. Adrian Pamungkas has received a schedule from the transplant team".

" And it will be done in the near future".

Hospital officials then said the time for the kidney transplant to be done in approximately two weeks.

" The HLA crossmatch results to the donor recipients indicate there is a match, so we can do surgery".

" Hopefully the donor came to H-5 Hospital before the operation because it will be quarantined in the hospital for 5 days" said the officer.

" Alright, thanks for the information" Adam replied.

The officer contacted Dena to provide the same information.

Adrian was the happiest to hear the good news.

His six-month wait in the city was finally over.

He holds his cell phone, waiting for Dena to call him.

Sure enough, before long his phone rang. Video call from Dena.

" Dear.".", the voice of his wife's crush rang out in the room.

" Hey ..what's up?", Adrian pretends to be confused

" At last, I'm going to run a kidney transplant in two weeks. I'm going to the capital, we're going to meet baby. I can come early to visit you" said Dena.

" Sorry dear, it seems like we can't meet on such a date because I have to undergo quarantine for the final stage of my treatment at the hospital", Adrian was looking for an excuse because there was no way he could meet Dena in this apartment. He was also right to undergo quarantine but instead to become a kidney donor for his wife.

Dena's face looks disappointed, even though he really wants to meet Adrian.

" Be patient, after your surgery is over we will meet" Adrian said trying to treat his wife's disappointment.

" I will always pray for you, may your operation be launched and you will be healthy again".

The video call ended with Noah laughing when he saw Adrian's face on Dena's screen.

****

H-5 kidney transplant surgery.

Adrian had first entered the room to be quarantined for 5 days and re-screened before the operation was carried out.

Meanwhile, Dena is still waiting in the registration room with Mother and Hasbi who are still taking care of the inpatient file.

Dena sat in the waiting chair, then sent a message to Adrian that he had arrived at the hospital.

But he stopped with his cell phone, when he saw a man so similar to Mas Adam passing at the end of the hallway right in front of him sitting.

Dena was eager to make sure that the man was Mas Adam, he ran after the man who almost disappeared behind the wall.

He pursued the man's steps, succeeded and now he was right in front of him.

Dena was so sure the man was Mas Adam, she could tell from his posture and the way he walked.

" O Adam", Dena unhesitatingly called the man .

Adam who felt someone calling him immediately looked back.

They were just as surprised, even more so Adam. He tried to avoid meeting with Dena, had many times he called Hasbi to ask his position at that time so as not to meet with Dena.

But it turns out that the woman is now in front of her, greeting her.

Time seemed to stop turning when the two of them looked at each other.

Adam could not deny, he still admired the beautiful face of this woman Staring at his lips that made Adam could not bear to want to******nya.

" Why is Adam here?", asked Dena, making time tick again.

" Eehhh, yes I was visiting my relatives who were treated at this hospital", Mas Adam looked for the most reasonable reason.

" Why are you here yourself?", he pretended not to know anything.

" Yes Mas, I will have kidney transplant surgery" said Dena with a happy face.

" really?".

Dena nodded slowly and smiled.

" I'll wish you all the best, Dena, believe that everything will be fine. You will never again feel the pain of butterfly needles" said Mas Adam reminiscing about the Hemodialysis Room and the butterfly needles that brought them together.

" Yes, this butterfly will always take care of me" Dena pointed to the brooch butterfly she was wearing on her shirt.

" Thank you for always wearing it, I still have this necklace" Adam pulled out the necklace around his neck.

Dena smiled.

" Oh Adam, I'm sorry I have to go back. Hasbi and Mom must have been looking for me" Dena said.

" All right, see you. Take care of your health, hopefully everything is good".

Dena turned around.

It turns out that the world is so narrow, yes, somehow wherever he is he is always met with Mas Adam.

While Mas Adam had not yet moved from where he was standing, he still looked at Dena from a distance until the woman was completely lost from the sight of his eyes.

Never mind..

I don't want to have a discussion about that heart that's gone again.

I don't want to remember the things I've been struggling to ignore.

I would have said too much if we had just reopened our voices and talked.

...----------------...

There are never any coincidences in this world, right?

Everything that comes to us is destined to God.

They have a portion to shape our person .

Good ones train us to be grateful.

And the bad train us to be patient.
