After all the family members took turns to visit Bu Ani, now Bryan, Seno, and Mr. Adiguna were talking seriously at the end of the corridor. Pipit, Armell, and Ruth were sitting on the front bench of the ICU.
" What do you think about my besan condition? " ask Mr. Adiguna to Bryan.
Bryan let out a heavy sigh, then shook his head. " Pa weight. Bryan had been talking to a specialist who handled the mother all this time. She said that she had been suffering from this disease for a long time. Supposedly if from the beginning the mother wants to run the operation, most likely the mother can recover. But it's too late now. The cancer has entered the final stage " explains Bryan.
" Can't we have surgery now? Aren't you an expert in this field? "
" Lo's right. But the possibilities are very slim. I have managed to save patients in exactly the same condition as the current mother several times. "
" Oh yeah, what are you waiting for? You can operate on mom. So if the doctor here can't afford it, Lo can take over. "
" It's not that easy El. The equipment here is minimal. I asked the doctor earlier. What equipment does this hospital have. But all the equipment they have, it's still not enough. If it's in my hospital, I guarantee I can help mom. But not here, " said Bryan.
" In that case, we take Bu Ani to Jakarta. There, you're the hendle of everything. "
" But the condition of the mother is still unconscious now. If the mother can be aware, then we can use the hospital heli to bring the mother to Jakarta. Bryan could ask the hospital to get everything ready. "
Seno and Mr. Adiguna rubbed their rough faces.
" And now what shall we say to Armell the same Pipit? " ask Seno.
" We tell you the real situation. They deserve to know the condition of their mother ", said Mr. Adiguna. Bryan and Seno each turned to look at their wives being embraced by Mrs Ruth. Then they both nodded.
Then the three of them regrouped with their wives. Seno sat next to Armell, Bryan crouched down in front of Pipit, then Mr. Adiguna stood not far from them.
" Baby.." call Seno while embracing the wife's shoulder. Armell took off Lady Ruth's embrace and turned to her husband. So too with the pipit. He returned Bryan's hand on his lap.
" How's mom bang doing? " ask Pipit to Bryan.
" Yes, how's mom? " ask Armell who has now changed her call to Bryan who used to always call her doctor. Because Bryan asked him not to call him a doctor, Armell decided to call Bryan as a brother or sometimes uncle B.
Seno tightened her arms while rubbing Armell's shoulders. While Bryan increasingly tightened his hand to his wife's hand while looking deeply into his wife's face.
" I'll tell you the truth. You should be ready to hear it" Bryan said firmly in a deep voice as he occasionally turned to Armell. Armell and Pipit nodded their heads hesitantly.
Bryan lowered his head briefly to gather strength to convey the condition of the mother-in-law. Before saying everything, he gave a glimpse of his wife's hand in his grasp, then looked at the wife's brown bead.
" Mom has uterine cancer. And it's already in the final stage" Bryan said.
Pipit and Armell were very surprised to hear this news. They closed their mouths while shaking their heads. The tears that were stirring were already unbearable.
Bryan and Seno held each other's wives' bodies into their arms.
" Mother baaang....."
" Mr maaasss ...."
pipit and Armell said together. Bryan and Seno continued to hug their wives who were shocked by the news.
" Brother, curing mother.hu...My brother is a great doctor...Please heal mother baaang.." pinta Pipit in between her cries.
Bryan tightened his embrace when he heard his wife's request that felt bitter.
" Honey.you calm down, okay. "pinta Bryan. " Don't be like this.
But Pipit still cried. " What will happen to mom bang? " tanya Pipit while keeping her body away from Bryan. She looked at her husband's blue eyes.
" Hear me, honey. We have to wait for you to wake up. Then we'll move mom to the hospital where I work. There, my team and I will perform the operation on Mom. I've contacted them " explains Bryan.
" Why not operate here? " ask Armell.
" I can't operate on mom here. The operating equipment in this hospital is lacking. It's free if the operation is done now." explains Bryan back.
" When did you get cancer? " tanya Pipit tried to remember. " When Pipit was still living at home with his mother, he never complained about anything. "
" Mom has had this cancer for a long time. According to the doctor who handles the mother, for four years he often checked and consulted. The doctor had advised the mother for surgery, but she always refused. He said he did not want to worry his children. "
" Oh, nooooo....." Pipit looks so hit. He banged his head against the wall behind him, crying again. " What kind of child am I???? The mother who lives in the house with me is very sick but I'm this stupid to not know?????" his screeches.
Bryan grabs his wife's body, forcing her to take him into his arms with the struggling Pipit.
" Honey, calm down .. calm down baby.." said Bryan as he rubbed Pipit's back.
While on the opposite bench, Damar looked at Pipit with a view that is difficult to understand. Lie if he says that he already has no taste for Pipit.
Damar's view never rested from Pipit starting from the moment he returned from delivering Siti and baby and went home to Ani's mother. It was impossible to take a 7-month-old baby to the hospital.
' It should be this time, I who hugged you, calmed you down, was also by your side. ' Inner Damar when I saw Bryan hugging Pipit's body tightly while Pipit was crying.
' Right now, I want to be Bryan's doctor. To embrace you, and give you strength. You have to be strong, Pit. You have to be strong.' her mind is back.
Chequek..
The door to the ICU opens from the inside. " Ani's mother's family. "call for a nun.
Everyone stood up and approached the sister. " We are her children" replied Armell.
" Ani's mother is conscious. He knew his children were here. She wants to meet you guys. "said the nurse.
It was seen that everyone was breathing a sigh of relief hearing that Bu Ani had regained consciousness.
" Sister, allow the four of us to enter at the same time." pinta Seno.
" Sorry, sir. Can't do. It should be two. " answered the nurse.
" But we can't let our wives go in alone. We must accompany. "said Seno.
" She..."
" Let them enter with sus. " said the doctor who handled Ani's mother who suddenly appeared from behind the nurse.
" But doc..."
" It's okay. I'll be in charge "cut the doctor.
Then the nurse stepped aside a little and let Pipit, Bryan, Seno, and Armell into the ICU room with the doctor.
After wearing ICU sterile clothes, the doctor who handled the mother accompanied them met with Bu Ani.
" Mom.." said Pipit and Armell together. They clasped Bu Ani's hands together from the left and right sides. Mom smiled and looked at them alternately with a glare.
Tears unceasingly flowed from the corner of Pipit and Armell's eyes.
Seno was next to Armell who was also holding the mother's hand. While Bryan, he seemed to be discussing with the doctor who handles the mother. Looks like the doctor knew Bryan before Bryan met him. The name Bryan Merryll turned out to be quite well known among surgeons across the country.
After talking to the doctor, Bryan came back to Pipit. Mom smiled at him.
" We're taking mom to Jakarta right now. Heli was getting ready to fly" Bryan told Seno, Pipit, and Armell. They all nodded and smiled a little.
But different from mom. Mom seemed to shake her head. " I..bu ..ma..u..di..si...ni..sa...ja.." said the mother in a clean and well-stretched voice.
" Mom, we'll take mom to bang bule hospital. I'll heal there. Brother bule himself who will take care of the mother. "pipit said enthusiastically.
Mother shakes her back. " I..bu..ma ..u..de...ka..t..sa...ma..ba...pak . "mom answered.
Tears trickled back from the corner of Pipit's eye.
" Mom, if you're cured, you can go back to our house. Mother can return to the village. "sahut Armell.
Mom nodded back and smiled. " In ..ma...na...cu...cu....ku?"
" Danique is at mom's house. The same as Siti Bu. Hence, I must recover quickly, so that I can play with Daniel again" replied Armell.
My mother smiled answering. He turned back to Pipit and Bryan.
" A ..pan..ka..li..an man..daf..tar...kan pe.ni.ka.ka..ka....han? " ask mom.
" All the files we've sent to KUA. We just have to wait to be called and sign the marriage book, "said the pipit.
" Shu.kur. Nak...Bry..an, i...bu ti..tip a..nak i..bu yes.." pinta mom while looking softly at Bryan.
" yes. Mom doesn't have to worry. I will always take good care of the Pipits. I will treat her like a queen in my heart. I will give my best to her " replied Bryan, making the mother smile with relief.
Mother then turned to look at Seno, her other daughter-in-law. " Son Se..no, i..bu ti.tip a.nak and cu.cu." he said, holding seno's hand.
" Yes, mom. Seno will always look after the two of them. Because they are both pearls in Seno's life" replied Seno.
She smiled again, but suddenly she had trouble breathing. Bryan immediately told Seno to bring Armell and Pipit out of the room. And she, still in the room helps the doctor who handles the mother.
" Let's go out first. " Take Seno to Pipit as well as Armell.
" Sister, mother why? " ask Pipit to Bryan.
" You go out first with Seno. I'll stay here monitoring mom. Pray your best for your mother" Bryan said. Pipit nodded then followed Bryan's orders to get out. Before actually coming out, Armell and Pipit turned around and went back to see the mother who was being treated by the doctor and Bryan.
