Mama, I Love You!

Mama, I Love You!
An Answer



Inside a patient waiting room near the HCU, Nova, Rara and the others who were not on guard tonight were preparing to go home soon, a hue of disappointment radiated across their faces, although today it has eaten more than before, at least it gives energy not to be too soluble in sadness.


"Be careful on the road!" nina exclamation


"Tomorrow I'll come back, will I bring you a change of clothes?" ask Nova


"May, all of you bring a pillow, my head hurts once I sleep just wearing a pile of clothes"


Nova snorted as she picked up her little bag "Yes I've come home first yes, let me know if there's anything"


Nova and the others leave until they are nowhere to be seen, Nina and her aunt Ratna stand guard tonight in the patient lounge near the HCU room, ifah and Abimana were already in the Rajawali building which was quite far from here.


"Nin, auntie wants to go to your mama first huh"


"Yes aunty, soon college friends will come to visit, they are close from here"


Aunt Ratna entered the HCU room. 15 minutes later, there came 2 young men and 2 more girls, they were friends of Nina on campus, and they were, they shower each other with questions and give Nina a positive impetus to continue to be patient.


"Nin, have you eaten? Looks like your body is thin" asked one of Nina's friends, looking at Nina's face and holding her arm.


Nina smiled sweetly "I've been eating, indeed these few days I have a little no appetite, how can I eat while my own mama is in the room also not eating"


"You have to understand Nin, your mom is sick, you healthy people have to stay healthy to take care of them, if you are also sick how can you take care of them?"


The words were spoken again from different people, those were the words that came from everyone who loved Nina, it was true, it really had to be accepted Nina.


Nina smiled and held the woman's hand "Thank you, Ta. I'm feeling better now"


"Nin, Nin! Please change guard, aunty want to pray first for a while" suddenly aunt Ratna entered with her flat face and a little panic


"But aunt..."


Not finished his words, aunt Ratna cut "Nin, sister said the level of consciousness mama lives 1, you have to go there immediately to accompany her"


Nina and her friends heard the words in a panic, the girl without asking permission with her friend immediately left them and entered the HCU room.


Nina held a holy book of the Qur'an in her arms, kissed her mother's face, rubbed her white cheeks, and taught beside the woman she loved so much, without crying, Nina was sure her mother still heard that her son was beside her at this time.


Nina stopped chanting the verse for a moment, her eyes going around the room. In addition to the patients who are being treated in the ICU, there is a screen that shows the condition of heart rate, blood pressure, to oxygen levels in the blood. On the screen are also visible lines that show a graph of the patient's heart rate which also makes sounds according to the heartbeat.


The sound of the monitoring equipment that followed the heartbeats of the patients in the room sounded faster than usual, Nina rubbed her cheek gently, kissed her, and kissed her, his heart trembled seeing his mama's eyes let out a single tear, he immediately wiped it, then muttered


"Mom, mama, is mama conscious? Mama don't cry, I'm here"


Nina continued to recite the words tawhid and tasyahud. A nurse who looked more senior brought a shock device, glued it to the chest of the lying woman, counting from one to three, the sound of the heart monitor continued to sound until it made a long sound, the shock device has been used three times, but it does not show any response from the patient.


"Innalillahi wa innailaihi raj'un" Nina muttered and shook her head in disbelief


"No, no, NO! HWAAAAAA"


The crying broke when all the nurses stopped acting, they fell silent and looked at the girl who was beside her. Nina was out of control, she hugged my mother's cold body, woke her up even though she knew she couldn't, wiggling her mother's body which had been lying limp.


"HWAAAAAA, MOMMY! Don't go, jangaaan, how do I say this to you? Mama, wake up, wake up.. Huhu. hyks hyx"


One of the nurses who was lamenting the cry of the girl wondered to the colleague beside her


"Why did he mention his father? Is his father sick too?"


"The father of this girl was also treated at the Rajawali building, he had heart disease"


"Geez, that's so sad"


The nurse immediately left, then came in with a wheelchair, woke Nina who had been leaning over her mother's body, so limp she fell to the floor, the nurses helped him wake up in a wheelchair.


Nina was taken away from the iron mattress, she limply lifted the phone in her hand that shook from now on.


"Ha ha hello..."


"Nin, what's wrong with you?" ifah's voice sounded worried


"Mmm mama, mama already.hix hyks"


The call is interrupted, Nina just realized that she must also inform the people who are at home. While removing the tears that so profusely fell on his eyes, one by one he called out the names of important people on his cellphone. Aunt Ratna came with a face of sadness, hugging Nina, as if she already knew the real situation, then she walked towards the bed of the mother.


At home


Nova who had received the call of the mourner was shocked, her hand shook to the point of dropping the phone in her hand, her white face pale, her hands squeezing her head furiously.


"Hwaaaaaa, mamaaaaaa, hwaaaaa"


His cries and shouts woke up his sleeping sisters, bringing the neighbors beside his house to come, everyone there shed their cries hearing the news.


"Patience, patience, discipline, this is all the way of God" That is what is said from the mouths of those who are there, the pain Nova felt in her heart was so pronounced that breaking the hysterical cry, she regretted not being in the hospital tonight.


In the corridor of the hospital, Nina was pushed by a nurse towards the morgue, her eyes seeing the iron mattress that carried her mother further away with the steps of the nurses in a hurry, she said, there was already Ratna's aunt, Ifah and Abimana running after them. It felt like Nina also wanted to run but her legs felt so limp that she had to sit on the chair.
