My madam, my poison

Always wrong

"Do you know these two patients?" ask doctor.

"Yes, Doctor. They are my husband and mother-in-law. What's really going on, Doctor?"

"Mas Fabian and Kinanti's mother fell victim to a gas cylinder explosion in your home." Mr. Hasan who just approached us was chiming in.

Why is it that only Fabian is in this hospital? Where is Lyra? Is she…? Just imagine that I can't especially if I have to lose my little angel.

"Where is my daughter, sir?" ask me with a trembling voice. I'm so scared that my daughter is just the way.

"Mbak Zura just calm down. Lyra is safe with my wife at home" explained Mr. Hasan.

"So, Lyra is okay, sir?"

"It's okay, Ma'am."

Thank God, I am so glad to hear it.

"It just so happens that by midnight Lyra is fussy. He didn't stop crying. My wife came to your house and asked Lyra to sleep in our house."

"Why did the gas cylinder in my house explode? During this time Fabian always make sure he has installed the regulator hose well," said I.

"My wife and I don't know the exact cause. We'll get some information from Fabian's mas after he wakes up."

"Mother, please take care of the administration of both patients immediately. I'll check on them soon, excuse me," the doctor said. He then entered the ER room.

Of course I'm confused. My savings were used up for my mom's operating expenses yesterday. While Fabian himself did not seem to have a lot of savings.

"Bak Zura why?" ask Mr. Hasan. He seems to understand that I am in confusion.

"Ehm, I-I don't have the money to pay for Fabian and mom's hospital fees" I said a little awkwardly.

"Using my money used to be okay, Ma'am."

"But, Sir. I don't want to trouble you."

"Don't talk like that, Ma'am. We are neighbors. It should help each other" said Mr. Hasan.

"I'm sorry it's so hard to often trouble your family."

"No, Ma'am. I'm glad I could help."

Not long after the doctor came out of the action room.

"How are my husband and mother, Doctor?" my many.

"Male patient is difficult to kiss. He only fainted from inhaling smoke for too long. But, …"

"But why, Doctor? My mom's okay, isn't she?" my many.

"The female patient suffered severe burns on her face. We recommend that patients undergo surgery immediately."

"Op-op-operation, Doc?"

"Yes, Mom. If not immediately operated, I fear there will be an infection of the patient's skin, especially on the face."

My body is getting weaker. Only a few days ago had surgery on his back, now the mother must return to undergo surgery on the face. Lord, strengthen us against all these trials.

"What does Kinanti's mother's operation have to be today, Doc?" ask Mr. Hasan.

"Faster is better, sir," replied the doctor.

"Can I find them?" my many.

"Please."

Mr. Hasan took over my wheelchair from sister Diana and pushed her into the ER room. I saw Fabian's awakening, but I haven't.

"Mas. How did this happen? Why would the gas in our house explode?" I asked Fabian.

"Are you not aware, if all this happened because of you."

"Why did you kill me?"

"Mommy was thirsty all night and asked for a drink. But all the teapots and bottles are empty. I also have to boil water."

"That small thing is why Mas exaggerated. Just boiling water everyone can too, right?"

"I was so tired of taking care of my mom and Lyra that I fell asleep and forgot to turn off the stove."

"The sloppy mas. Why did you blame me?"

"If there was any drinking water, I would not need to boil water. This event will not happen!"

"Sorry, Mas. Not to interfere. 

I think this disaster happened because of the carelessness of Mas Fabian. If Fabian turns off the stove, the gas cylinder won't explode." Mr. Hasan chimed in.

I turned my gaze to the mother who was lying weakly on the patient bed not far from Fabian's bed. Not only the face, other parts of the body also look burnt.

"The doctor said the mother should be operated on as soon as possible, Mas" I said.

"Thinking of our house being burned I'm already dizzy. Now it must be added to the business of operating costs."

"So, would you just let your mother's condition be like this?"

"So what should I do? I don't have any more savings."

"Already, Mom, Ma. Don't fuss anymore. This is not a good place to argue. I'm willing to help you pay for Kinanti's mother's operating expenses. I happen to have money savings."

The sentence that just slid from the mouth of Mr. Hasan was able to make me a little calm. The business of returning the loan, I can think about it later.

"Sorry, Sir. We always trouble you, "I said.

"It's okay, Ma'am. I'm glad I could help."

Not long after the doctor entered the room.

"How, Sir, Ma. Have you decided when the patient will be operated on?" tanyakanya.

"Yes, Doctor. Now also Kinanti's mother can get surgery," replied Mr. Hasan.

"Alright, Father and Mother can immediately take care of the administration. While we'll prepare the operating room."

"Okay, Doctor," I said.

"Sorry, Ma'am. I had to go to the ATM first to get the money. I only brought a little cash," said Mr. Hasan.

"Again thanks for the help, sir. I promise to repay the loan as soon as possible" I said.

"Already, Ma. Don't talk about it first. The most important thing now is the recovery of Kinanti's mother," said Mr. Hasan.

"I'm sorry."

Mr. Hasan left the room.

"Mas' money's running out in Mila, right?" I asked for a moment after Mr. Hasan passed.

"What are you talking about?"

"That's it. You don't have to lie anymore. Mas's savings money must have run out to buy a new house for Mila. From his appearance and lifestyle I also know, it all takes a lot of money."

Fabian was silent. I don't think he had a sentence to respond to my words just now.

Suddenly someone came into the room. I don't know who told him that Fabian was admitted to this hospital.

"Mas, it's okay, isn't it?" askanya while checking some parts of Fabian's body.

"I'm fine. Mother's hurt pretty bad."

"Why is this so, Mom?" ask again.

"I forgot to turn off the stove while boiling water until the gas cylinder in our house exploded."

"Aren't there drinking water at home?" 

"All teapots and bottles are empty."

"It's wrong Zura."

"Why are you blaming me?"

"If Ms. Zura takes care of the house well, you will not run out of drinking water. So Fabian won't boil water. Forgetting it's human, Ma'am. Fabian must be tired of taking care of mom and Lyra all at once."

What the fuck? They're now compactly cornered me.

"You don't just talk, Mila. All this time I've been trying to take good care of the house."

"But what is it? Fabian chose to marry again, right? That means Fabian's getting tired of you."

Mila's gone too far. How dare he humble me like this. 

"You, …!" I raised my right hand ready to throw a slap in his face.
