Love to My Widow
Surgical procedure
Vina and the Commander still did not believe what the doctor said
"Doc's appendix?" the commander's face was still full of questions
"I'm not sure yet, but looking at the reflex from the pressure of right abdominal pain, it's like appendicitis. But there should be some follow-up checks. Later we will do an examination to take blood stamps, and other supporting symptoms so that ordinary treatment measures can be taken or need surgery." the doctor took the map held by the nurse, did not know what he wrote
"Operation?" Vina was a little surprised
"Do I have to have surgery?"
"Hopefully not, so it needs further tests" the doctor closed the map he held
"Please help my son, doctor, do whatever it takes to get him back to health" the commander with a face that was parched stood up to the doctor.
"Yes sir, I help as best I can and it is also my duty as a doctor to help patients"
then the doctor ordered the nurse to come out.
Not long came another nurse with special clothes took a blood sample and other measures to find out more about the disease suffered by Nila.
The commander sat quietly on the sofa that was already available. Although trying to calm down, but the frown, clenched hands, showed deep concern for Nila.
Vina down follows the doctor and tries to get as fast as possible the best course of action for Nila.

The doctor's office after the test results are out.
"Emmm.like her this is really appendicitis, not just inflammation anymore but there is a slight tear. I'll call the surgeon for follow-up"
The doctor picked up the phone and soon they had a serious conversation
"Well doc.iya good" seriously.
Vina tried to calm down and pay attention to the doctor
Hang up....
"Said the surgeon, tomorrow at 7 am will be carried out a small operation for the patient's appendix. Does the family approve?... if yes... I will give the operating permit sheet please filled in by the guardian and signed as soon as possible"
Vina was still calm not answering she just looked blankly at the doctor's desk.
The doctor called again and called the nurse.
Not long came carrying a blue map containing approval to perform the operation.
Vina asked for time to meet the commander.

Hospitalized
Nila was still unconscious with her hands still attached to the infusion hose..
Pale face, dry lips and eye circumference that looks slightly sunken.
The commander is already with Mr. Mir sipping coffee together.
"How's Vina?" the commander put down his coffee glass
Vina sat on the seat next to Mir sir, in front of the commander. Put the map he held on the table.
Seeing that, the commander picked it up, opened it and read.
"Must Operation?" his face was still staring at the map.
Vina just nodded
" Should it be?" still staring at the blue map.
"The doctor said only a small operation cut off the dangerous part" Vina hooked the fingers of the hand on her lap.
"If it's the best. Which one should I sign?"
The commander grabs the ballpoint pen already pinned at the top of the map
" Here the commander" Vina directed
"The operation is tomorrow at seven in the morning, do we have to tell Nila's family?"
Stopping the movement of his hand even though it has not finished the signature.
He was silent for a moment. Forward the signature, place the ballpoint pen and sit leaning against his back.
Vina just glanced at the commander, her head still lowered.
Mr. Mir who from earlier remained down because he did not want to interfere and it was also not his business to interfere in the affairs of his great master.
"Hummmummm" the commander sighed.
Silent....
"Tomorrow at 5am you come with Mr. Mir, pick up Nila's parents and tell them as best they can not panic" the commander opened his voice
"Good commander" Vina nodded
" Mir sir rest outside, and you Vina use this long sofa to lie down for a while, let Nila I take care" the commander sat down next to the bed, where Nila was still lying limp, unconscious. He opened a magazine that was available.
Vina lay down on the long sofa and pulled the blanket she asked the guard nurse for.

On another continent
It's still four in the morning...
Biyan was still awake and unable to close her eyes after returning home to send an email to Nila and her family.
With full clothes and weapons that can not be separated from his injuries. He was cool to look at the dark sky that is still filled with constellations that are clearly visible.
His body shivered a little, though,
his mouth let out steam, so cold the air there at night.
"Why does the heart feel such an unremarkable thing
Like something's wrong
Huh
maybe I was the one who thought too much of them" hugged tightly the long Laras he held
"Captain.jangan ko like to talk to himself later kira ko crazy" Indonesian eastern accent he is a subordinate of Biyan Markus.
Sit close to Biyan on a small hill near the camp of the auxiliary troops.
"You haven't slept?" Biyan with her mouth let out steam
"Sa can't sleep captain, cold night, hot day kangen hometown" Come hug twilight Laras long.
"Haaaaaahhhh" Biyan exhaled
"Captain again think?, story ready to listen?" Mark
"Only the thoughts of the family in the country, "
"Sa also misses mama," lying on the sand
Biyan was lying down with her arms as a cushion stared at the dark sky full of stars.
"How many are you?"
"Twelve captains, confused to have papa's mama, every year and news of having another sister.ckckck"
"Hahaha..giliran when do you have children?"
"Sa has a wife you haven't, have children "
"Hahaha" Biyan slightly let go of the excitement in his heart.

Hospital
At seven o'clock Nila was taken into the operating room.
There was already a father, mother Nila and also Kartika who sat opposite the komanda and Vina.
A red light flashed above the operating room door.
Faces full of dismay implied in everyone waiting.
The mother who from home until now did not escape her mouth commited to recite prayers for the success of her son's operation.
Mr. Nila his eyes did not escape from the door of the operation.
The commander occasionally looked at Nila's family in shame, then lowered his head. Because he felt he failed to take care of his daughter-in-law.
From the beginning Nila's family came to the hospital only Vina who continued to explain Nila's condition.
The commander lost face in front of his armor.
Though Nila's father and mother did not say the slightest disappointment towards the commander.
*
After an hour the operating light went off. Signifying a successful operation
All of them look a little relieved.
Nila exited the operating room still in a state of unconsciousness.
He was immediately taken to the hospital. The whole family followed from behind.
In the VVIP room, the atmosphere was so quiet.
No one dared to start the conversation.
Nila's mother was sitting next to the patient's bed, her hands were not free to hold Nila's hands.
Vina and Tika were on the other side of the bed facing the mother.
The Father and Commander sat on the sofa facing each other down.
