My madam, my poison

Is this destiny wrong?

(Still on the phone)

[Our mother is still alive]

[If you speak clearly. Don't confuse me]

[I am now on Cempaka Street. In this place there has just been an accident, and the victim of the accident was one of the mothers]

[Lantas, what did you tell me for? Just like my father, I don't care about me either. He only cares about you, his beloved son]

[Already, Brother. Don't bring up the past anymore. Now she's on her way to the hospital. Please take care of everything]

[Why did you tell me to take care of Mom? Are you not his favorite child?]

[Oh Allah, Brother. You know I have a very small baby. I can't possibly take him back and forth to the hospital]

[That's a big boy? Child as an excuse]

[I now live in a boarding house. Almost all residents here are factory employees who are not married. I can't possibly leave Lyra on them]

[So what do you want now?]

[Sister please take care of the cost of maternal care and other affairs]

[We know for ourselves, Fatimah had just given birth. My money is up to pay for labor and other baby supplies]

[So, who wants to take care of mom?]

[You are his favorite son!]

[Sister Darren.Kak].

- Interrupted calls

What if Darren really doesn't care about mom? Who will pay for the hospital?

What should I do, Rabb? 

I saw the ambulance car start to leave the scene of the accident. From the description of one of the road users, my mother suffered serious injuries. What if my mother doesn't survive?

"Sorry, Sir. Can this taxi turn around?" ask the taxi driver.

"Can, Ma'am. Didn't you go home?"

"I had to go to the hospital following the ambulance. I'm worried about my mother."

"So, the victim of the accident was Ma'am's mother?"

"Yes, sir."

"Yes already. Come in first. I'm going to turn my taxi around the road ahead" said the taxi driver.

I also went back into the taxi. Ten minutes later I was back at the hospital almost at the same time as the ambulance. The man who died was taken to the morgue, while my mother was taken to the ICU.

"What's really going on, sir?" I asked a policeman standing guard in front of the morgue.

"The victim was driving at high speed. At the same time the truck was traveling from the opposite direction. Both can not control the speed of the vehicle until finally the collision is inevitable. The truck driver and car driver were killed at the scene, while the female passenger survived despite her critical condition" police said.

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

"The patient's family" he said.

I passed from the front of the mortuary and rushed over to the doctor.

"What is the patient's mother's family?" tanyakanya.

"Yes, Doc. My daughter. How's my mother doing?"

"The patient had a severe injury to his head. It is suspected that the patient did not wear a seatbelt while riding the car."

"My mother survived, didn't Doc?" my many.

The doctor breathed.

"We will try our best. I help you with do'a. I'd better take care of the administration costs now."

I'm speechless. The money I have now is no more than two million. Is this enough money to pay for the mother's hospital expenses?

I was shocked when suddenly someone greeted me.

"I'm back at this hospital again, May."

"Who else is sick?"

"My mom just had an accident."

Mayra frowned.

"So, your mother's alive, Ra?" ask again. I nodded my head.

"If your mother is still alive, why do you have to be confused to find a place to live?"

I took the nurse's hand and invited her to sit on a bench in front of the ICU room.

"You want to say something?" tanyakanya.

"My mother is still alive. He just left the house after our house burned down and our family company went bankrupt. From that moment on I never knew about my mother. While I was on my way home from this hospital, I saw an accident on the road that I was driving by a taxi. One of the victims of the accident was my mother. But, I'm confused. I only have two million dollars. I'm afraid the money isn't enough to pay for mom's hospital expenses."

"You don't need to be confused, Ra. If you have less money, you can use my money first" Mayra said.

"But, May. I don't want to bother you."

"I don't feel bothered. I'm glad I could help you. Yesterday you rejected my offer to live in my house. So, this time I hope you don't refuse my help."

"Thank you, May. You are a good and understanding friend" I said.

"Yes, now you pay your mother's hospital fee.

I passed from the presence of Mayra and walked towards the administration. The cost of maternal care turned out to be three million rupiah. I had no choice but to accept Mayra's offer to borrow the money.

"I'm sorry, May. I'm troubling you" I said shortly after Mayra transferred two million dollars through a remittance app on her phone.

"It's okay, Ra. The one million you used for your mother's hospital expenses, the rest you can use for your daily needs."

I don't have any more sentences to express my gratitude to my old friend at High School. I also put her body in my arms.

"I'll excuse you. There is still a duty from doctor Faisal," Mayra said as she moved from the bench.

"Thank you, May."

"Already, Ra. Don't mostly say thank you. Who is rich." Mayra chuckles.

"Drug, dear Lyra," he said, waving to my daughter. He also passed from before us.

A few moments later the door of the room opened again. The doctor who treated the mother was seen coming out of the room.

"How's my mom doing, Doc?" my many.

"The patient is conscious. But, …"

"But why, Doc?" 

The doctor breathed heavily.

"It is with a heavy heart that I have to convey if due to the accident the patient has to lose his sense of vision" said the doctor.

"So, my mom's blind, Doc?" 

"Yes, Mom."

"Is my mother still healing?" my many.

"From the results of the examination, the cornea of the patient's eye suffered severe damage. Maybe the blindness experienced by patients is permanent," explained the doctor.

"So, my mom can't see again anytime, Doc?"

"Yes, Mom. The only way is to do corneal graft surgery and the surgery costs hundreds of millions of rupiah."

I sat down on that long bench. Exam after exam as if it never stopped coming to greet me. O Lord, is this one of the ways You show Your love to this weak servant of Yours? Am I going to pass these exams?
