The sound of a knock on the car window made me break the daydream. Looks like a fat guy with a plontos head out there. Mami, who had been struggling with her cell phone, paused for a moment and looked at the person standing outside.
“Open the door!” mami's orders were still busy with her phone, and the driver opened the door lock and lowered the front door car glass.
“Log in!!” exclaim driver. The man came in and sat in the seat next to the driver, he turned to look at us who were sitting in the passenger seat. His gaze led to Mami sitting behind the driver.
“Everything is in order Madam.. I have said as per instructions from Madam..”.
“They don't suspect you?” asked Mami without looking.
“At first they were hesitant, but I've convinced them until they both believe..”.
“Good... Indro, give the rest of his wages...”.
“Good, Mistress...” The driver gave the man a brown envelope, I'm sure it was money.
“Thank you very much Madam... glad to cooperate with you..” the man smiled sumringah. It was so bad to beat that guy.
“Hmm... Never show your nose in front of them..”.
“Good, Madam... I'm sorry...” The man got out of the car.
“You're satisfied, Athar?” ask Mami.
I just kept quiet and didn't answer Mami's words. My gaze was fixed on the door of the house hoping that Ning would come out from there and put on a happy smile, because the house had already returned to her.
“Street!!” exclaimed Mami and the driver also drove the car leaving the place.
Heh, Mami really doesn't care about my feelings. I don't know what his heart is made of. Since childhood, I have been his favorite child. Both of my sisters are free to choose their partners who in fact are not from the upper class. Ros is the son of Papi's late aide, Annelise, the son of a farmer in the Netherlands. But, why am I_____ Arghh is it, I will be patient for this year.
“Look at later what will happen, Dear Mrs Andini..”.
Along the way, I didn't stop thinking about Ning. I don't know why I suddenly feel bad. I pat it, maybe it's because of my guilt that just left it by disappearing without news. Thought.
__________
“Hai, dear.... ready?”
My eyes widened to see Mami greeting Nadira as we entered the airport. Even more surprising, Nadira was with Riko. I didn't think it turned out that Mami arranged for our departure to go together.
“Cih, Gesit is also the business of this great Mistress,” my sigh in heart.
“Sorry, sir.. The big lady told me to pick up Miss Nadira agar____ “
“Take off what time?”sambark.
“An hour, Sir... I've taken care of everything...”.
“Hmmm ...”
We also sat in the waiting chair. I was annoyed to hear Mami not constantly chattering with Nadira.
I opened the gallery on my phone, and I saw Ning's photos there. Lucky when I was out of town often asked him to send photos at every daily activity, until my gallery was filled with photos of the girl.
Mami finally came home just before we went to the entrance. We also hugged each other. My steps felt very heavy, different than usual.
Just sat for five minutes, my phone rang.
“Yeah, Dino... Why else would that kid,” my murmur shook my head. Looks like my dear nephew is still very heavy parting with me. Bang Aufar's children are closer to me than their parents.
“Hal___”
“Om, Ning fainted...” is not finished I say hello, Dino said the thing that surprised me.
“What? Ning Fainted? Whereabouts? Fainting why?” ask me to worry. How not, just now when I saw him he was still fine.
“I do not know Om... Back then when we were talking in the city park, suddenly he fainted.. His face was pale Om... This again on the way to the hospital, Om”
“Which hospital?”
Pips
I turned off the phone immediately after I got the hospital address that Dino said. I got up and hurried away.
“Pak, where are you going? In half an hour the plane____” Riko chased me and approached me.
“Fuck by plane, I have to go...” snaps me running out.
‘Ning fainted, and subconsciously, her face was pale.’ The words kept ringing. I was really afraid something might happen with Ning. Is this the answer to my bad feelings since.
“No-no, he will definitely be fine,” I tepis all negative thoughts about his condition.
But, how could he be in the garden? With Dino? Wasn't he at his house? Arghhhh already, the important thing is that I have to go to the hospital immediately. Lucky when exiting the airport door there is a taxi that just dropped off its passengers. I also directly climbed it.
“Street, Sir!!” I shouted at the taxi driver. He drove his car to the hospital address I gave him.
All the way I couldn't calm down. I called Dino, not a single call. It really makes me very anxious and frustrated. I snapped the taxi driver a few times and told him to increase his speed. I really wanted to take over the wheel.
_______
Finally after half an hour, I arrived at the hospital and headed straight for the ER.
“Dino... how is Ning?” doing I was worried about Dino who was standing in front of the dividing curtain of ER patients being examined.
“Ning_____”
“Why him?” I snapped screaming, Dino's face as if hinting if Ning's condition is not okay. To make the people there look at me.
“Please don't be noisy, sir!! It's a hospital, you can disturb patients!” scold one of the nurses. Dino pulled my hand until I stood next to her.
“Ning not yet aware, Om.. Still treated by doctor...” Dino said half a whisper.
“How can this happen?”
“I ... I invited him to meet in the city park.. I want to tell you about his departure, Om...”.
“What? What are you doing that for!?”
“Om love her same right? He's the same, too, Om.. So Om doesn't have to wait a year with that ridiculous plan...”.
“Dino____”
“Ning needs Om... In him he ... He is seriously ill, Om...” Dino spoke up nervous.
“What do you mean?” I'm getting panicked.
“Tadi, the nurse who examined Ning said if seen from the swelling in some of Ning's limbs and she often scratching is unclear.. The possibility of her HB is lacking or Ning's kidney is problematic.”.
“What?” I'm surprised I'm not playing.
“Iy, yes.. Eng it's name if it's not wrong Kidney failure disease... The doctor also said so... But, Ning had to do a series of tests to confirm it...”.
“Kidney failure ... Ning suffered from kidney failure…. No way, it is not possible.. How can this_____ not this is impossible... He is still very young.” My mind is in my heart.
Sure enough, the doctor said the same thing as what Dino said. My body decays until I sit on the hospital floor leaning against the wall. It's like de javu to me. Why he should experience the same thing with Alexa.
I still hope that's not true, hopefully after Ning's follow-up examination is fine. I waited for him to wake up and told Dino to come home.
I immediately contacted Om Herman, the specialist who used to handle Alexa. She is Mami's cousin and happens to be practicing in the same hospital.
It felt even harder to leave Ning, as she realized she kept hugging me and asking me not to leave. Honestly, I don't want to go, but I have signed a contract with Mr. Hutama. And what I fear most is that Mami bullies Ning again.
My heart completely shattered after Ning did the test and the results came out. Sure enough he had kidney failure, even one of them was severe.
“Ning has to do dialysis, can even be up to his lifetime.. Or if you want to recover, Ning must immediately get a kidney donor...”.
I was so frustrated, I wanted to feel angry, but to whom. On destiny? To God? Or it was me who brought bad luck to the woman I loved.
No, I can't stay quiet. I don't want to lose anymore. I ordered Riko and Vina to find a person who would donate a kidney in exchange for 1 billion.
Riko spread the news across several WhatsApp groups he owned, including groups at the company.
I also asked him to find out the whereabouts of Uncle Ning who was the biological family Ning had. The man refused and asked for more. He was then taken to Jakarta.
But alas, out of all that none of them had a match with Ning's kidney. Even I took the test, but the results remained the same. Nothing fits.
Donor problems are not over yet, a new calamity is coming. I got a call from Bang Aufar if Dino gets in the hospital. I rushed there too.
_____
Upon arrival at the hospital, I went straight to the room where Dino was treated according to the information I got from the information section. I found Brother Ros crying sitting next to Bang Aufar. I approached those outside the room
“Bang... Dino____”.
“Doctor said it can not be delayed anymore..” said Bang Aufar.
“What?” many confused.
“The eggs should be retrieved immediately..”.Bang Aufar made clear the meaning of his words.
“Operation?” many ensure.
“Ya...”.
“No, Pah... Mama disagrees, hiks hiks...” Ros refused, which is what he had been doing after doctors said it would be the worst chance to take a bullet lodged in Dino's head three years ago.
“Ros_____”
“I don't want to lose my son, hiks....”.
“Dino strong boy... He can definitely recover....” Bang Aufar tried to convince his wife.
“But the doctor said the probability of success is only 50 percent, hiks hiks....” That's the cause of Ros's biggest fear, losing Dino.
Chequelek
“Om Athar...” greet Diasri who just came out of Dino's inpatient room. He approached me.
"Thank God Om is here, Brother Dino nanyain Om continues .. He said he wanted to talk to Om Athar..”.
I rushed in too. I approached Dino who was lying weakly with an infusion in her hand.
“Om... How is Ning?” doing
I stared at the wonder and weird. “Why when he was sick like this, instead ask the state of Ning?” my mind in my heart.
“As initially suspected, Ning suffered from kidney failure and had to get a donor as soon as possible.” My reply was to land my buttocks on the chair next to Dino's bed.
“Om can already?”
“Not yet.. From dozens of people no one fits...”.
“Om, if anything happens to me. Please give my kidney to Ning...”.
“What?” I'm surprised not to play.
“I know, my operating success rate is only 50 percent…. So if I die on the operating table or die after surgery, I want to donate my kidney to Ning..”.
“Don't talk digress, Dino.. You're definitely cured, and will be as healthy as ever again..” I don't like what he says. I'm looking for a donor, but that doesn't mean my niece is the one I sacrificed.
“But, Om____”
“No buts.. Don't think strangely, just focus on your health… We all always pray for your recovery.” My words encourage Dino.
“But, Om____ “
“The problem of Ning and the donor, it will be Om's business. Just imagine how happy you are and your parents and family, when you see you recover without having to feel sick and take medicine again… You can play anywhere you want without an escort without being restrained, and you can also have many friends at your college later.”.
“Spirit!!” I said and went out, because my phone was ringing.
________
These few days I feel so screwed up that I can't afford to meet Ning in this state. I had to go back and forth to the hospital where Ning was treated as well as Dino. Finally I told Riko to find a trusted person who could help care for ning when I was not in her hospital room.
Especially when Dino gets surgery, of course I have to be there with my family. Plus Mami's rampage because I didn't go to London. I also told her what happened to Pad Ning. I reassured Mami, if I'm going to leave after Ning recovers, at least get a donor.
The next day Vina brought the person I asked for, who was none other than one of the office girls in the office, Siti's name. At least I can feel calm, leave Ning to Riko and Siti who according to Vina the girl can be trusted, judging from her performance over these two years.
_____________
Ning's condition is getting worse, he has to do the dialysis, want it to feel like Ning's disease was transferred to me. He even fell into a coma during the second wash of blood. I really am frustrated. Not to mention Dino who is still unconscious after the surgery yesterday.
“Actually there is one that matches,”ucap Om – that sounds like a confession of what was previously hidden. I was happy to hear it, but there was a big question mark on my head.
“Who, Om?” ask me with a sharp look.
“But...it's impossible Daniel...”.
“Om, tell me, who is the suitable donor?”
Suddenly my phone rang, I haven't had a chance to get an answer about the donor. I was shocked by the bad news again.
“Dino unfall..
Deg
“What?” I'm still very worried about Ning's condition, now plus Dino's unfal. Without a second thought, I rushed to the hospital where Dino was being treated.
Arriving there, I heard the cry of Mr. Ros from inside the ICU room where Dino was treated post-surgery. It made me think badly, because it's been two days since Dino's surgery was still unconscious.
“Don't-don't Dino_____” I'm going into that room right away.
“Dino…. Huhuhuhuhuhu... Dino do not leave Mama, dear... Huhuhuhu...” Brother Ros cried hysterically sitting on the floor, hugged by the same Bang Aufar crying, but he tried to calm his wife
“Kak Dino, huaaaaaaa Diasri hugged Dino's body lying in a gurney.
Deg
My steps slowed down when I saw Dino who was no longer wearing a medical aid. His body was covered, until only his pale face was visible. While Mami was crying in the arms of Bang Dandy, my second brother who just returned from the Netherlands last night.
My chest seemed to get a hard blow, tight and sick. “ Dino died,” my tears followed after falling down my cheeks. My steps are getting closer to Dino's gurney. His face was very pale with his eyes closed, yet it looked peaceful.
“No, this is impossible.. The doctor said the operation was successful, but____” I was immersed in my own thoughts, hoping this was a dream. Until the screams of Kak Ros and Diasri awakened me if this was real.
“Dino... Dino I looked at my lifeless nephew. I wanted to scream, but my throat felt stuck.
“Om, Brother Dino already no Om... huhuhuhu...” Diasri hugged me. I'm still silent.
It's the heaviest grief in our family, having lost Papi and Diandra, now Dino. Sobs filled the ICU.
“Ikhlaskanlah Dino.. We all love him.. Let him go quietly.. From now on he will never feel pain again.We should pray, and immediately take care of his body and funeral….” after hearing Bang Dandy's words, we began to calm down and Brother Ros was no longer hysterical.
The nurse covered Dino's face with a blanket that had previously only reached the neck. When the nurse was about to bring Dino's body, the incoming doctor stopped her.
“Before I apologize.. There is something I want to say...” Said the doctor approaching Bang Aufar and Brother Ros.
“What's up, doc?”
“Begini Sir, Ma... When a patient named Dino entered the operating room, he asked us to make a video recording... This please Mr and Mother can see for themselves..” His speech gave the phone a video that was later received and played by Bang Aufar at full volume.
Along with that, Om Herman called me. But I immediately refused the call, then sent a message.
Me : [“Dino died.”]
Om Herman :[“Innalilahi wainaillahi rojiuun.Om.sorry lament”].
Me : [“thank you.. How is Ning?”] condition
Om Herman: [“She was conscious, but her condition worsened.”]
I rubbed my hair rough. “Yes God, what trials are these..” My screams in my heart. I suddenly remembered our last conversation before I came here.
Me :[“Tell me what the name of the donor is!! I'll come to him directly.”]
About Herman:[“Dyangga Ferdino Sahulekha.”]
My eyes were perfectly rounded reading the name which was accompanied by Dino's clear-sounding voice from the video footage that was being viewed by Kak Ros and Bang Aufar.
“If anything happens to me, I want to donate my kidney to my nanny named Ningrat Atisaya.
Prak
I was so shocked that my phone fell to the floor. The boy was serious about his words. My body feels weak, my mind drifts somewhere. “No way... This is impossible...” Shake me in my heart by shaking my head.
“NO!! That won't happen!”Mami's voice boomed. I also woke up from my daydream.
“Mami...” I looked at it with a wailing look.
“Don't expect me to give my grandson's organ to that woman!!” mami said firmly.
I stepped over to Mami who was sitting on the chair beside Bang Dandy who was standing next to her. I knelt down and fell at his feet.
“Mami.. please fulfill Dino's last wish.. Ning also desperately need it, the condition has deteriorated,” my request pleads.
“Are you crazy! How could you sacrifice your niece for that woman!”
“Dino is dead, Mi ... That's his will, Mi... I beg you...”.
I am crazy, yes I am crazy. But it's Dino's will, he himself wants to be a donor. While Ning was there her condition got worse. Not that I was happy about his death, but that was his last wish.
“I allow...” Unexpectedly, Brother Ros agreed.
“No... I do not allow...”.Mommy stays on her feet.
“Dino my son, Mi... I'm more entitled to him...”.
“I disagree!! Dino is also my son..” Bang Aufar refused.
“Pah... Dino also expressed his wish before he operated yesterday to me. Please fulfill his last wish, all this time we always limit him and make him sad, I just want Dino to be calm and happy in nature there.. hiks hiks...”.
Mami was silent for a moment, as were all of us in the room.
“Alright... I agree..” Long wait for the end I expected to say as well. My smile also expands. “But on condition, you have to go to London tonight too...”.
“Tapi_____”
“Go or do not I fulfill my grandson's will?!”
I had no other choice, only to be resigned to this difficult situation. The important thing is Ning has already gotten a donor, I thought. Even though it's from a niece who is so close and dear to me. Mami leaned over and brought her head closer to me.
“Don't trick me anymore!! Siti is my person .. If you betray our agreement, then you alone will not be able to imagine what Siti can do to the girl she cared for.”.
Deg
My eyes are perfectly round. Ning's recovery had to be paid by leaving her. And.. how can I get a lesson about Siti.
I can't dwell on Mami's threats anymore. I had to obey him, I'm sure Mami didn't know about my plans with Nadira.
“Alright.." I said resigned.
