LOVE NARA

24 LONG NIGHTS - PART 1

The Garuda Indonesia plane was flying Angga to Indonesia. There is a sense of sadness felt when sitting on a plane. The trajectory of events flashed in his head. Dancing in his mind.

If only Dina had not been sick. He and Dina could enjoy the splendor of this Lion country. Can capture a photo of the two in front of the statue of the Merlion, the iconic city of Singapore. That was the dream of her teenage years with Dina. After getting geography lessons from Bu Mirna his Junior High teacher.

I have long dreamed of a vacation to the Lion Country. And ... Angga's dream manifested in another form.

"Hopefully Dina and I can enjoy the beauty of this Singapore, one day ..." muttered Angga expectantly.

"I left Dina, my lover. Hopefully, I can come back. May Dina get a spinal cord donor, aamiin .. , "honest prayer for Dina.

Flights from Singapore Changi Airport to Indonesia take 1 hour and 50 minutes. Transit first to Sukarno Hatta Airport to continue the journey of Angga back to the city of Bengkulu.

From Jakarta to Bengkulu flight takes approximately 1 hour. So at approximately 11 noon Angga has arrived at the Fatmawati Bengkulu airport.

Angga's father had already arrived at Fatmawati Airport. Looking forward to the return of his eldest son. A happy gush emanated from his face. The happiness of a father who is proud of the success of his son won the title of coumaude for post-graduate at the University of Indonesia.

The longing rose when Angga saw the figure of his father. He waved to the 60-year-old man. The father returned a hand from the boy from a distance.

Angga's father had been waiting faithfully in front of the arrival door. Waiting for his proud son. After 15 minutes of baggage collection. Finally, the big travel bag was already in his hands. Angga then pushed his big bag to walk over to his father.

Angga kissed the back of his father's hand. Then he hugged his beloved son tightly. Then Angga celangak celinguk looking for the figure of his mother.

"Dad, why dad himself. Which mother? " ask Angga.

Angga's father's cries broke when his son asked his mother.

"Yesterday afternoon your mother went to the hospital. Complications of Diabetes Mellitus that makes your mother must be treated in the ICU RS room. M Yunus, " replied Father Angga.

Angga was silent for a moment, as if in disbelief. Why when he came home his mother went to the hospital. He misses his mother very much. Though 3 days ago, he still had a vidio call with his mother. Angga reported his plan of return to mother. And ... mother promised to make tomato sauce pete favorite Angga.

"Mother is being treated in ICU Ga, so I am alone to pick you up, " replied the father adding an answer.

"Dad, I'd like to see mom, "pinta Angga.

"Yes son, we go to the hospital now, " replied Angga's father.

Then Angga and his father rushed into the car. They're heading to RSUD M Yunus. From Fatmawati airport the white avanza drove to the hospital where his mother Angga was treated. It only took 15 minutes for the car driven by Angga to arrive at the RS parking lot.

Angga and his father walked down the corridor of the RS. Entering the hospital area, reminded Angga of the figure of Dina. The woman he loved, the first love of his life.

Angga is trying hard to face reality. His feet stepped up to meet his mother. ICU room .. , make Angga shudder to hear the name of the room called.

The time is over. Angga begged the security guarding the ICU room door. Still not allowed in. Fortunately, a friend of Angga. A doctor who was on the morning guard passed right in front of Angga.

"Hi, Angga? What is this, "ask doctor Toni while shaking Angga's hand.

" Toni ! you're right here. This is my mom being treated in the ICU. I just arrived from Jakarta, went straight to the hospital to see my mother's condition. But I am not allowed to enter, "ansaid Angga gave an explanation.

"Security, sorry. He's my friend, I'm going in with him. At least for a moment, "he said begging security who had refused Angga to enter.

Angga then entered with Dr. Toni into the ICU room. Angga first uses special clothes for hospital visitors who swipe patients in a special room.

When the Anga came in. A nurse scolded him.

"I'm sorry, the clock is up, "subtly push it.

No one answered the nurse's question. Dr. Toni gave an explanation.

"I'm sorry Irma, beautiful sister. This is my brother wanting to see his mother. Please just for a moment, "he said begging the nurse.

"Oh, yes doc. Not what - what. Her mother what was her name, "Irm turned around to ask.

"Mother Rina Wati is her name, " replied Angga.

Then a nurse named Irma took Angga and Dr. Toni to where her mother lay.

"Thank you, " said Angga.

Angga approached his mother who was weakly helpless. Mom looks really tired. He appeared to be asleep with one of his hands on the infusion. There's an oxygen hose that connects it to a breathing machine. There was a pee hose by his bed.

Angga was so devastated to accept this reality. That two dear women in her life were helplessly rolled up in the hospital.

Angga then kissed his mother's forehead. I wish her mother would wake up. But his mother slept quietly. Only the sound of a breathing machine indicates that his mother is still breathing.

"Mother, this is Angga ma'am. Mom's up. I have come home mom. I promise to make my favorite tomato pete sauce, "weep the voice of Angga while holding his mother's right hand.

Angga is not thinking. Why trials come in a tubi - tubi in his life. Making his body's defenses wobble. She wanted to cry, so that her crying voice could wake her mother up.

No tears Angga dripped down on the hands of mother. This is the second time she has cried. First when Dina was sick. Second, now when you're sick. Crying because of 2 very valuable women in his life.

Toni's doctor also examined the condition of her mother Angga. Angga's mother had a diabetic coma. If the management is fast, then patients with diabetic coma will be quickly helped.

Diabetes mellitus which almost 5 years accompanied the life of his mother Angga. During that time, there were many complaints that he felt. Mother never want to follow a diet/challenge certain foods. This is the consequence.

People with diabetes mellitus should take medication every day to lower their blood sugar levels. Set a regular diet and exercise. And ... the fact is many diabetics do not comply. One of them is Angga's mother.

"Mother .. , I miss you. Heals quickly, "sobbing Angga.

Angga continued to grin and kiss the back of the mother's hand. A thread - a circle of powerless tears fell on the surface of his mother's hand. It seems like mother responded to Angga's arrival beside her. From both corners of his eyes was a drop of dew flowing slowly on both of his cheeks.

Angga was so shaken. He felt helpless. His body was limp as powerless.Can not do much, pray and hope for the healing of the two beloved women in his life. Mom and Dina ....
