STAFF!!!.....
Suddenly the plate I was holding slipped out of my hand. I was surprised while avoiding the broken glass at my feet.
"What's the matter with Ega?"
Ayu's mother came straight to me at the dinner table.
"Fell out of my hand ma'am"
I sat down at the dinner table and adjusted my breathing.
"Son Ega??"
"My mind is not calm, Mom. I suddenly remembered Mandala"
"Call Mandala"
"I cleaned up this broken plate first ma'am"
"No, call Mandala first. Let's all calm down"
I rushed to my room to get a cell phone. I've seen a lot of missed calls from Mandala. I also made a call back. Many times I made calls, but none were answered.
After I felt desperate to contact Mandala, Ayu's mother called out to me.
"Son Ega, there's a guest looking for you. From the air force"
I rushed out of the room and got two men in Air Force uniforms sitting in the guest seats. Instantly my breath stopped. I feel like something's happened to Mandala.
When I saw me coming, the two people stood up and bowed their heads saluting me.
"Please sit down, did something happen to your Major?"
As a soldier's wife, we've been given psychological guidance about the sudden events that will happen to our husband. But my heart is still not calm.
"We picked up mom. Major was shot last night. Now it's in the hospital"
I was frozen silent. My tears are dripping in my silence. This was my hunch.
"I'll get ready, wait a minute"
I rushed to tell Ayu's mother to leave my mother and tell her what happened.
Ayu's mother hugged me and promised to always look after my mother.
I immediately packed my clothes and went with the two soldiers who picked me up.
---------------------
I was in the Army hospital.
Mandala lay unconscious after military doctors removed a bullet stuck in her chest. The doctors were surprised, because Mandala could still survive with the gunshot wound even though she was now in a coma.
I kept holding Mandala's hand. My tears are dry. I try not to cry anymore. There's no explanation I can get for my husband's current condition. All are state secrets. I have no right to ask further. They just said that Mandala was hurt in her duty.
But I know, it's not like that's what's going on. I just shut up, let go of what happened. I kept praying for Mandala to come to her senses. It was only from Mandala that I was able to get all the explanations.
I didn't leave Mandala in the slightest, as a doctor I controlled all the medicines given to Mandala.
I don't know what really happened to Mandala, so I have to be vigilant if they want to eliminate Mandala.
If I have to go to the bathroom, I lock the door so that no one can go in to see Mandala without my eyes knowing.
--------------------------
A month has passed. I remained loyal to the Mandala side. I've applied to transfer Mandala to the General Hospital. But they refused, they even decided to remove the tools used in Mandala. I protest and force a move if they insist too.
In between my busy life guarding the Mandala. Someone came to see me.
"Good day mom. I'm a friend of Mandala's, I'm an architect"
I frowned but kept smiling and asked him to sit down.
"It's mom"
He handed me some photos.
"Two years ago, Mandala asked me to make a complete inn with a clinic as well as self-help ma'am. It's on the island of W in the mother province as well. All his permits were in Mandala when his late father's mother was alive"
"So?"
"It's all done, ma'am. I tried to contact Mandala. But I was told Mandala was in this hospital"
"The inn is done?"
"Yes mom, just run it. These are all his ownership papers"
I read carefully the letters he gave me.
Suddenly the heart monitor sounded. I immediately checked the Mandala and pressed the emergency button.
Doctors and nurses arrived. They asked me to come out and do something about Mandala. As my body weakened, I felt various stars strewn across my head. Suddenly everything went dark.
----------------------
When I opened my eyes, I was also on top of the gurney with my hands infused. I'm trying to get up. But someone held my shoulder.
"Mom should rest"
I looked at the nurse who was looking after me.
"My husband?"
The nurse shook her head.
"Mother rest first. Mom pregnant. I need to be able to look after her"
"Pregnant? you said I was pregnant?"
"Yes mom, five weeks pregnant. Mom's fetus is in good condition. But I'm too tired, so I need to rest"
I cried for a moment.
"I'm pregnant Captain.. I'm pregnant"
I said those words while I kept crying. The nurse hugged me tightly.
"Mom should be calm, should not be stressed"
"I want to see my husband"
"Mother spend this infusion first, after that I will bring mother to mother husband"
"Is my husband okay?"
"Mother's husband is still in his room"
I breathed a sigh of relief. I want to feel as fast as possible to meet Mandala. Hugged her and told her I was pregnant.
Pregnant son. The boy we've been waiting for.
I hope with this news Mandala becomes aware and wakes up from her coma.
I stroked my flat stomach.
"We have to be strong, son, we take care of Dad together. Don't fuss. Mother will always take care of you"
My tears are back. The nurse reminded me not to think too much.
I also tried to close my eyes. Waiting for my infusion to finish and continuing to stroke my stomach.
Kapteeenn.. Quickly awake. I want to take care of this child with you.
