My husband's a Cold Doctor

Mom's condition

Arriving at the hotel, Kevin brought my suitcase into the room, while I sat on the sofa by the window.

"What's Sal?" kevin asked to see me daydreaming.

"The Vin... I want to ask, what really happened to my mother? Does the disease recur as long as I'm gone?"

Kevin walks my meditation, he is now sitting next to me embracing not forgetting he is also stroking me to calm down a little.

"Sal... Hear me! Actually, my mother has been in and out of the hospital several times, because the disease often relapses! Maybe because mom's worried about you, Sal... Mom is waiting for you to come home!" answer Kevin.

"W-what's that right? The last time I talked to my mom, it was like pain and her calls were cut off at first I suspected that my mom's illness was coming back but after I called my dad, she said she was fine!" imbuhku.

"Sal... Maybe your father lied because he didn't want you to feel guilty about your departure to this place, when you were in the ICU!"

it immediately made me want to cry.

"Every time I check on my mom, she'll always ask you Sal... Even mama used to be delirious about saying your name in her sleep.

"Then can you call my father's number? You don't want to answer my calls every time I call!"

"Well wait a minute!"

Kevin started tapping on the father's number on his phone screen, the call rang but then when the call was fast connected Kevin gave the phone to me.

📞"Hello... Daddy's! It's me Salsa... How's mama doing!" raungku asked with concern.

Tutt's... Tutt's... Tutt's....

As soon as I was astonished, I had not heard father's voice, but it was suddenly cut off whether it was intentional or because of a bad connection I could not guess at all.

"The signal's not bad then why die? Did you end it on purpose Vin?" I then asked Kevin.

He shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know Sal either... Or did I just call my partner? He is also a doctor who always checks the condition of your mother!" I nodded strongly and immediately returned the phone.

📞"Hello... It's me, are you taking care of my mother-in-law? How's he doing now?" Kevin asked one of his colleagues who was also the person he authorized to take care of his mother during his trip.

📞"Ahh yes doc! I'm the one who the doctor told you to take care of your mother-in-law, ehh if the matter of her condition, it seems to concern doc! Especially when now, I'm afraid the doctor can no longer meet your in-laws before coming back here?" replied partner.

📞"A-what do you mean! Why would you say such a stupid thing, if there was anything with my in-laws, I would fire you! so you better do your best while I'm not home yet!" kevin threatened.

Kevin ended his call, then he looked at me with glazed eyes.

"W-what happened Vin... Mama why? tell mom why? hyx..." I screamed and started sobbing in fear at the answer Kevin was about to give.

"Sorry Sal. It looks like your condition is getting worse and maybe we can't see you before we get home soon!"

I shook my head a few times, "No! it's unlikely my mama wouldn't leave me so! mom was very healthy before I came here! mama can't be that sick Vin! please don't scare me! I beg you.." I do not believe what he said.

Kevin hugged me, he cried softly stroking my back, "Well, I hope Sal!"

"Vin.. I'm scared! I was so, so afraid that my mom would leave before I apologized, I was afraid that she would leave me before I could make her happy, I was afraid that Vin would never be able to live again if that happened, I'm not strong.." I cried loudly.

"Calm down Sal. I believe you are a very strong person, you will definitely be able to fight the pain! trust me!" Kevin tried to calm me down.

Unconsciously my body shook violently, even my legs felt very weak, "I-I have to tell Vin... I no longer know what to do if my mother leaves me? why does my fate have to be like this Vin... why?"

I really feel devastated, if only I was not here maybe 4 years that I used to make my family happy, to be next to my mother and take care of her, but now all has become porridge, he said, I can only regret what I did in the past.

***

As for me, my face was never dried by tears, even my eyes are swollen now.

"Sal..stop crying, mama must be fine!" Kevin tried to calm me down.

I didn't make the call, I didn't even look at it, "Vin.. We better go to the airport!" I suddenly got up and pulled Kevin's arm.

"What! but this is still 3 hours before our departure time Sal! we're just gonna get tired of waiting!" squeal Kevin.

"No Vin. I'd rather wait at the airport than here, if I was just sitting in this room, it'd make me even more nervous, so let's go now.

Kevin let out a long sigh, "Well, Sal. Come on...." In the end he agreed.

***

Arriving at the airport, Kevin intended to take me to a cafe, but I refused, "Come on Sal. You haven't eaten anything before you go, just a little!" Said persuaded me.

I came back crying, "I don't want Vin! stop treating me like a kid, if I say no!" my firm screams made the people around me look at me in wonder.

"Okay. Then I won't eat either!" said.

"As far as you!" my ketus.

A few hours passed, Kevin and I were on the plane, unlike the others who fell asleep when the plane took off, my eyes did not want to be closed even for a moment.

Suddenly Kevin grabbed my head and leaned on his shoulder, "Sleep Sal. I'll wake you up when the bats have landed!" coined.

"But I can't sleep Vin...."

"Just close your eyes, clear your mind, don't think about all the problems, just imagine, we just got home from vacation and will bring good news to mama who is waiting for us happily at home!"

Slowly following Kevin's direction, I closed my eyes and imagined what I had just heard from his mouth.

"Salesa...." Suddenly as I began to fall asleep and converge into the Dream realm, there was a voice calling out to me behind the thick fog that sounded like a mama.

I searched for the origin of the sound, but the fog blocked my view, "Well? where's mama? mah.. mama...."

"Salsa.. This is my dear mother!" my mother is standing not far in front of me.

"Mama! why is my mom here? am I not dreaming?" I muttered asking myself.

"Darling! why did you want to see Mom for so long! you know, Mom misses you so much! even my mother was tired of the pain that slowly crept in my mother's body!" lirih mama who then turned her body was about to leave.

"Wait on! where's mama going? don't go mah! nein! Salsa please don't go.." I shouted at the slowly disappearing mama's back covered in thick fog.

"Mama don't go!!!" I shouted out loudly beside Kevin who apparently woke up from the subconscious.

"Salsa, you're having a nightmare? this is a drink!" Kevin said a bottle of water.

He also wiped away the sweat that flooded my face, "What's up Sal? what are you dreaming about?" ask again.

"Vin.. I dreamt that my mother left me! i.. I'm afraid my dreams will come true!" I came back crying not wanting to imagine.

"Relax Sal. It's just a dream, you better drink first so you feel a little better!" persuaded him to return a bottle of drinking water that I had not taken from his hand.

"Thank you Vin!" I said to take it and open the lid, gulping the water greedily, as if my throat was very dry.
