My Husband My Pilot: Plane Crash Tragedy

Chapter 69.

The next day, a cloudy atmosphere enveloped Mauri Village. Since last night, no one's been sleeping. Everyone woke up feeling sad wringing their chests. Until a siren and a group of SUV cars split the steep road to the village. People dressed in army and orange uniforms came out one by one. Mr. Mari and Alfin greeted them as representatives.

"I'm so sorry for this disaster" said Captain Resky.

"Thank you for coming to help us." said Mr. Mari.

"Sama-sama sir, I'm sorry for coming late, we can't go straight to the scene because it is very dangerous to drive at night. Also avoid the risk of aftershocks and landslides."

"I understand." nod Mr. Mari.

Then Captain Resky's gaze shifted to Alfin. He shook Alfin's hand and Alfin returned the favor. They also exchanged names.

"It's a coincidence that there's a medical team here. In the future I ask for his help." said Captain Resky.

"I hope we can help a lot."

Captain Resky nodded, "We will begin the search in the ruins. How many people are trapped?"

"According to our estimate of about thirty people. The average is female and elderly." replied Alfin.

"Okay, we'll start the search. For other residents please follow some of our members to stay temporarily in the refugee camp."

After that, Captain Resky immediately ordered his men to start searching. They use pulleys to lift large objects such as rocks. Then they also hoe the ground with a manual. Everything was done manually, because the transport car and the excavator could not enter the village.

Shoulder-to-shoulder with TNI and SAR teams looking for traces of victims behind the rubble. The village had become a sea of land and collapsed houses. Alfin's team is also on standby to rescue the injured. On the other hand, as Captain Resky said, the survivors were evacuated first to the evacuation. The only residents who live are Mr. Mari and some adult men only. They also helped with the evacuation.

"There are injured people!" shouted one of the SAR Team members.

Alfin and Nana immediately ran to the source of the sound. Once there, a woman lying in a cage with a ground-clad body appeared injured and exhausted. His hair was ruffled with blood flowing from the right side of his temple. Alfin immediately checked the woman's pulse.

"Normal heart rate. He only had a mild brain injury. We need to get him to the treatment tent" Alfin said.

"Please! There are more victims!" the screams of a TNI member broke Alfin's concentration. Alfin and Nana looked at each other.

"You just go there. I'll take care of this victim." said Nana.

"You sure?" ask Alfin hesitatingly. Because even though Nana has often volunteered, but she still doubts whether Nana has any medical ability. Wrong will be a fatal risk to the victim.

"You just calm down. I've done it." said Nana gave confidence.

Alfin nodded, he immediately cleaned up his equipment and ran away.

Nana looked at Alfin who continued to stay away until he lost his sight. After that, Nana refocused on the victim.

"He should be treated in a more sterile place. We go to the post." said Nana.

On the other hand, Alfin also approached TNI members who carried a cage containing other victims. This time the injury was quite severe. Alfin checked it immediately.

"He had a pretty serious brain injury. It looks like he hit really hard" Alfin said.

"So how's doc?"

"We need further examination. We'll take the victim to the post."

The TNI member nodded. They lun together immediately ran to the post.

At the Post, things were very boisterous. The screams and pain of the victims were heartbreaking. The medical team is very busy. They put an infusion on each victim's hand. In the corner, there was Nana who was treating one patient. He focused heavily on injecting IV fluids into the infusion fluid.

The victim was put in another cage. Alfin immediately put on the infusion and examined the patient.

"How's Fin?" asked Nana who suddenly appeared from behind.

"Seeing from the impact and the wound, he had a diffuse axonal injury" Alfin said.

"What injury?" ask Nana mudeng.

"Axonal diffuse or arguably one of the dangerous brain damage. Diffuse axonal injury is the impact of a head impact that does not cause bleeding, but still triggers damage to brain cells." explained Alfin.

Nana just nodded despite not understanding.

"He must be taken to the hospital immediately to get intensive care or otherwise it will be very fatal" Alfin said.

"Fin, we can't go. How to go while road access is very difficult? after all, the distance of the village with the nearest sub-district is twenty-five kilometers" said Nana.

"Then how? We're just gonna let it go?" Alfin asked in a dislike tone.

"It's not. Tell you what, you do any treatment to minimize the risk. And I'm going to ask the TNI if we can go to the city to take him to the hospital" Nana suggested.

Alfin nodded, "Alright then." nana got up and left Alfin.

Kansha arrives at Alan's hospital. Kansha walked to the hospital canteen. Alan told her to meet there.

Arriving at the cafeteria, Kansha went into a frenzy looking for Alan's whereabouts but it seemed that the man had yet to come. Kansha sat in one of the chairs and waited for Alan.

Kansha picks up her phone and types a message to Alan that he has arrived.

Alan

I'm there.

Shortly after, Alan arrived. Kansha prepares to welcome Alan. His smile broadened but soon faded. Because Alan was not alone, he was with Aisyah who was in a wheelchair and was driven by Alan. They're approaching Kansha.

As soon as they approached, Kansha again smiled despite being very thin.

"I'm sorry, I told you to come here" Alan said in an uneasy tone.

Kansha smiled and opened her voice. But Aisha cut it.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Kansha. I'm sick and Alan took care of me from yesterday. So you can only meet here" Aisyah said in a guilty tone. But in the sense of Kansha, he is being ridiculed.

"No problem. After all, I should be the one apologizing for asking to meet when you were sick." - Kimpal Kansha pretended to be ordinary.

Alan cleared his throat briefly, "So what's up until you ask to meet?" alan asked to switch the conversation.

"Oh that.."

"Bak must have a reason why he wants to meet with Mas Alan. Or maybe just a prank?" accuse Aisyah with a soft tone that is very disgusting now in the ears of Kansha.

"Aisha." rebuked Alan.

Kansha grieved in heart. He tried to calm his feelings that were very irritated at Aisyah. He thought, Kansha is a cheap woman.

"Please, who forbids not to talk" said Aisyah shamelessly.

Kansha smiled broadly covering her cahoots at Alan's future wife.

"Alan, have you seen the news?" kansha asked, looking at the man.

"News? What news?" alan asked confused.

"I'm concluding you haven't seen it" Kansha said. He then took his phone and fiddled with it for a while. Then his cell phone he handed over to Alan.

"It's.." Alan took a close look at a show featuring the latest news about the earthquake last night.

"What do you mean? Just for information, Mas Alan does not like to see the news so if you come because you want to talk about the news, I'm sorry I can say it was useless to come." aisyah said with a mocking and condescending tone in Kansha's ears. But strangely, for ordinary people, perhaps Aisyah's tone was very soft and sincere.

"I've told you, please don't cut my conversation off" Kansha said coldly.

"Dad." Alan again rebuked Aisyah. Aisyah also closed her mouth even though she was very upset.

"So you mean?" ask Alan.

"You've seen the news. It was an earthquake that occurred last night in one of the sub-districts in West Kalimantan. And the swipe had a swipe, Alfin was in the area of the earthquake" Kansha said.

Alan and Aisyah were shocked. Especially Alan who now demands more explanation.

"Mom! Don't just talk. You talk like that what if reality and Alfin are fucked?" exclaim Aisyah angry.

"I'm not kidding, you think I'm an uneducated person to the point of making silly jokes like that?" sahut Kansa does not accept.

Aisyah opened her mouth again, "But obviously mbak--"

"Aisha was silent." suddenly Alan cut Aisyah's words.

"Mas Alan, but mbak Kansha's been-"

"I SAID SHUT UP!" snapped Alan hard.

Not only Aisyah who was shocked but Kansha and the rest of the canteen residents also took a breath in surprise. The momentary state of silence.

"Mas Alan.." said Aisyah in disbelief. He did not expect that he would be snapped by Alan.

Alan turned to Aisyah who looked down in fear. Alan sighed softly. He realized he was wrong. He shouldn't have snapped Aisyah.

"Sorry Aisyah, I didn't accidentally. I was carried away with emotion." said Alan regretfully.

Kansha who saw it just turned her face away.

"But you don't have to yell at me, do you?" lirih Aisha. Her tears almost fell.

"I'm sorry, Aisyah. I was wrong and I was sorry."

"I'm just waiting in my ward. Please continue your conversation." said Aisyah suddenly. He also turned his wheelchair.

"Dear of it! Wait, Aisyah!" call Alan. But Aisha turned around.

"Just follow." Kansha said slowly.

Alan who was standing immediately turned to face Kansha. He breathed and sat back down.

"Say why sit back?"

"I need to hear your explanation further. I honestly didn't know that Alfin was on a volunteer trip there" Alan said.

"I also just realized this morning. I remember that Alfin was also there when I drove Nana to the airport."

"So how are they doing?" alan asked with concern.

"Last night, the SAR team said they were heading to the location this morning. Because at night, very risky plus difficult access. So there's a chance they're evacuating right now."

Hearing that, Alan took his phone in his jeans pocket. He's gonna call Alfin.

Sorry that the number you have reached cannot be reached.

"I've been trying to reach Nana since last night and her phone remains unreachable. There's probably no signal there" Kansha said.

Alan also lethargic reinserted his phone.

"Don't worry, they'll be fine. We leave everything to God, may they be fine including the victims of the disaster" Kansha comforted Alan.

Alan nodded slowly even though his heart was not yet calm.

"Kansha I'm asking for your help, if there's any news, please let me know." Alan asked.

"Surely." said Kansha nodded surely.

***

Aisyah with lunglai turned her wheelchair. He breathed out slowly.

"Mas Alan wasn't after me at all." she said.

"Dear of it!" call a woman. Aisyah looked up, her eyes clashing with Aura's.

"What's wrong with your face?" tanya Aura was so close to Aisyah.

"Nothing." nodded Aisyah slowly. "Bak Aura how did you get here?" ask Aisyah.

"My cousin is sick, when I don't visit. I went to your room and you weren't there. The nurse said, you walked the street with Alan."

"Oh so.."

"Why exactly? Why is your look so haggard? Then where's Alan?" tanya Aura was clamorous.

"He's with Mbak Kansha" replied Aisyah slowly.

Aura rounded her eyes, "Then why aren't you there? You just let them both go?" tanya Aura did not believe it.

"I was there, but Mas Alan yelled at me because of Mbak Kansha. I'm the one who's hurt to choose to leave."

Aura was silent for a moment. He then got up and stood behind Aisyah's wheelchair.

"We'll just talk in your room" he said. Aura pushed Aisyah's wheelchair slowly.
