After Andre tried to call several times finally his phone call was lifted. There was a voice of a woman across the street.
"Hallo?"
"Is this really Darren's mother?"
"Yes right. I'm on my own."
"I'd like to inform you that your son Darren is now in the hospital."
"Darren's? Oh, my God, Darren. Where is my son doctor?"
"At the Harapan hospital."
"Okay, doctor, I'll be there soon."
"Okay, thank you, ma'am."
Andre then disconnected his phone.
"Darren, I've called your mother. He'll be here soon" Andre explained.
"Thank you, doctor!" answer Darren Lirih. His face looks grim.
"Then I stay, yes!"
"Yes, doctor!"
"Before I go home, I'll be here again. I hope your mother can come soon."
"Yes, doc!"
Andre then walked out of Darren's room.
"Duh, how's this? If you come with your mom here, what will you do to me later. Darren looks resigned.
It's late afternoon. After his working hours are up, Andre returns to meet Darren.
"Darren's? How are you doing this afternoon?" ask Andre.
"Thank God, I'm getting better, doctor!"
"Alhamdulillah. How, did your mother come?"
Darren shook his head weakly, "Not yet, doc!"
"Maybe tomorrow morning you can move to a normal room."
"Why, doctor?"
"Here is the observation room. If the patient's condition is getting worse then it will be transferred to the ICU room but if the patient's condition improves then it will be transferred to a regular room. Thank God, your condition is getting better so tomorrow morning you will be transferred to the usual room first. And if tomorrow gets better, you can go home!" obviously Andre.
"Hmm, oh yes, doctor, I'd like to ask. How much will it cost me while I'm here?"
"the cost? I don't know yet because I haven't asked you the same administrative part."
"Hmm, doctor. What if my mom comes, I go home?"
"Going home? You can only go home if your condition improves when treated in an ordinary room."
Hhh, it must have cost me a lot in the hospital. How'this? My mother has no money. Do I have to borrow Anto and pay him with my salary later. Hhh, my debt with Annisa alone has not been paid now I have to owe again. But how do I say the same Anto sir, huh? Feels embarrassed.
"Why you?" ask Andre wonder.
"Hmm, I'm fine, doc. I just want to go home!"
"If the patient is forced to go home and something happens, then the doctor and the hospital will not be responsible! Patients can't sue!" Andre.
"But you can go home, right, doc? It's okay, doc. I will take the same responsibility myself! I'm not going to sue anyone!"
Andre's forehead wrinkled, "If you're wrong, you talk to the other doctors!" andre was upset.
You stubborn.
Hhh, doctor Andre is angry. Later if Annisa knows I maksa go home even though it has been banned from her brother, she may also be angry. But I don't have any money. Hhh, if I didn't run, I would still be fine at home. I won't be this busy thinking about hospital costs. Inner Darren.
Darren's eyes are glazed.
"Why are you daydreaming! Still want to go home?"
"I-I'm okay, doc!" darren replied not excited when the arrival of Annisa, he was so excited.
"Your mother hasn't come yet, yes" Andre said.
"Hmm, yes, doc. Probably still busy!" say lie.
I don't know why mom hasn't come yet when Andre's doctor has been calling. Is it because papa banned? Hhmm, could it be that papa is not my biological father?
"Well, I want to go home first, yeah. It's already afternoon. Get well soon, Darren!" pamit Andre's.
Andre then walked out of Darren's room.
He went to the parking lot to go home. Suddenly there were mothers who walked half-run almost hit him.
"Okay, sorry!" he said while covering both hands in front of the chest and then returned to the hospital in a hurry.
"That voice. . ." Andre was glued to where he stood with eyes that kept staring at the mothers.
"Doctor Andre? What's up?" ask the sister who passed by him.
"Hmm, it's okay, sus!" answer Andre.
He then got into his car. He drove his car at the speed he was heading to his house.
While Darren is daydreaming. Confused to think where the money to pay for hospital expenses came from.
Tok to tok. Suddenly someone knocked on the door.
Andre. Pintupun open.
Chequek.
"Mama!" call Darren.
"Darren!"
Lisa half ran over to her weakly lying son with an infusion hose in hand. He hugged his son.
"Darren! Mama's looking for you everywhere, son!" said Lisa with a sudden burst of tears watching the condition of her son.
"Mama, I'm sorry!"
Lisa rubbed her son's head gently, "You're not wrong, son! The wrong mom. Mama can't make you happy!"
"Ma. . ."
Once satisfied, Lisa took off her embrace. He looked at the son he missed.
"Why is your head on the bandage, son? You got hit by a car, a motorcycle?" ask Lisa.
"I almost got hit by a train, ma!"
"What?" scream Lisa.
Her tears are getting bigger. He hugged his son again, crying.
"I'm sorry mama! Sorry mama!" Lisa said an apology many times.
"Ma, my mom is not wrong! I'm the bad one!"
Lisa took off her hug, "What happened to you, son? Why did you get almost hit by a train? You didn't intentionally approach a passing train?"
Darren shook his head, "I-I just want to run away. But my head was dizzy while my body had a high fever. I didn't realize I was standing by the tracks. Suddenly the car passed by and nudged my shoulder. I immediately crashed and fell onto the rocks. After that, I don't remember anything else, ma!" darren.
"Don't stay with mama anymore, son. Mama only has you!"
"I'm sorry, ma. I promise I won't stay with my mom. I will obey everything you say even if you ask me to give my life to your husband!"
"Son, he's your papa. Papa your bladder!"
"Papa's real but treating me like a stepfather?"
"Darling, please forgive your papa. I don't know since you got out of jail, papa you've been like that."
"So you've never been in jail? For what, ma?"
"Hmm, long story, son. Let the problem be in the past. I don't want to remember it anymore!" it was Lisa who came back crying.
I'm sorry, son. So many things in the past. My mother couldn't remember it. Now, I just want to spend the rest of the time with you because your dad is like everyone else. Inner Lisa.
