Mama, I Love You!
Father (Part 1)
In the hospital, the atmosphere of the ICCU room cold with the noise of the tinkling monitor of the patient's heartbeat was gripping. In the very corner that intersects only one empty room from where the sisters gather, the father woke up, his breath gasping as if run out, he looked for his oxygen hose that he was sitting on himself. After getting the hose, he put it on his nose, then called a nurse.
"Sus.. sister!" lirih
"What's up, sir?" a female nurse came to my father. The nurse was astonished, not usually this one patient called these nights, because only the father, the patient who never chattered like other patients.
"Suster, my head feels swirling, it hurts so much"
The woman's nurse checked her blood pressure; normally, she checked her heart rate; normally, she left the father and returned with medication.
"Sir, you are affected by vertigo, please take the medicine first yes"
The father took the medicine but his hands felt trembling to drop the glass when he wanted to put it on the table next to him.
PREANGGGED
"Astagfirullah, what is this?" muttered
"Suster. sisters!" call the father while holding his chest
"Why sir? Oh, the glass broke, let me clean it up"
"Sus.. Can you just call my wife or my child now?" lirih
"Oh yes already, for a moment sir, do not think much, it can affect the health of the father at this time"
Before leaving the father, the sister tidied the broken glass scattered, so sincerely, she immediately went to call the family of her patient through the microphone.
15 Minutes passed and no family of patients came to the ICCU.
I asked my sister to call her family again, but baby, after more than half an hour of waiting, no one came. You think maybe his wife or child is asleep at this hour, the time has already shown at 23:55. For the third time, the father asked the nurse to call his family once again, but still no one came, finally the father gave up and decided to sleep.
Outside the hospital
"Dad, hurry up and bring the car, I can't bear to see the fathers' children, surely they are very hit with this situation, hyks hyks.." exclaimed uncle Dika's wife, the father's sister. The two couples rushed forward their vehicles after hearing the news of grief, it has been a long time since they visited the father's family, after hearing the news, he said, his heart felt depressed and regretful that he had not seen his mother for the last time.
"Yes bun, soon we reach ko, you are calm bun" said uncle Dika to his wife who looks worried
"What about dad, huh? Mother is very worried if she knows the truth, she will. hyks hyks"
"Susssttn.. Don't talk no-no bun, just pray for the best for them" uncle Dika rubbed his wife's arm who kept crying "We've arrived, come down"
Uncle Dika and his wife walked towards the Rajawali building, occasionally looking at his gadgets to ensure the quiet information of the father's room. After arriving at the patient's waiting room, Dika's uncle asked the other patient's waiter who was still awake, the patient's waiter said that three times the patient's family on behalf of the father was called, but no one came. As the time got closer to morning, the two couples decided to take a break.
The echoes of the morning adhan reverberate, filling all directions, who are still awake hurrying to perform the morning prayer. In the ICCU patient waiting room, all the sleeping people woke up one by one, uncle Dika and his wife moved to get up and rushed to pray.
"Bun, papa to where my brother used to be, you wait here" said Dika's uncle
His wife nodded, and he walked towards the ICCU.
After arriving at the father's room, it was seen that the father had woken up from his sleep, he had just finished praying, uncle Dika stopped his steps, he thought for a moment because he did not know what to say, after getting the idea, he thought for a moment, he ventured to advance.
"Well, how's he doing?" said uncle Dika, doubtful.
"Kok you here, Dika? It's still early in the morning"
"It's okay, bang. I just want to see my brother"
"You came here yourself?"
"No, with my wife. Oh yeah, how's the treatment here? Is it better?"
"Yes Alhamdulillah, as you can see. Your brother is no longer strong, so just accept whatever the circumstances"
"Well, let's go home today, can't we?" uncle Dika started his strategy
"Why? It doesn't seem like it can, the doctor isn't there today, Dik. I have to go home with the doctor's permission" said the father
"But bang, here brother no change, we better go to alternative medicine only, there will be directly given therapy and herbal medicines" Dika's uncle seduced
"Yes, you're the one who persuaded the nurses, I'm going" he gave up on hearing Uncle Dika's persuasion
"Then, I take care of the permit home first"
when he wanted to turn his body, he held the hand of Uncle Dika
"Why bother, brother? You just go home, let my wife and son take care of everything"
Uncle Dika waver, he was confused what else to say, he smiled and put his hand.
"It's okay, bang. I can only help a little, like the kids and brother's wife, must have been tired from yesterday"
Uncle Dika and his wife were busy taking care of the permit home, not easy indeed because the doctor who treated the father was not on guard today, with all the coercion, he said, the two couples finally got permission to bring their father back home.
"Dika, wife.. Has he not come back here yet? I haven't seen him in three days"
the voice of the father who asked his wife was ringing in the ears of uncle Dika, three times the father asked, but there was no answer that could be given. Uncle Dika could only smile and switch the conversation, I don't know what he should say after this when there was no other reason.
