Papa's Little Daughter

The One Who Has Been Leaving, Finally Comes Back

Silent...

Silent....

So quiet...

Jimmy's hysterical scream afterwards made the room turn silent.

A few moments later came a sigh.

"Sstttttt is okay." Salsa took the tissue on the table and wiped the liquid blood coming out of Shan's nostrils.

One sheet of tissue, two sheets of tissue, three sheets of tissue, so either this is the second sheet of tissue that Salsa pulled to clean the blood of Shan's nosebleed that continuously came out.

"Don't be afraid Shan. Remember, you are strong, right? You're a brave boy, aren't you? I'm Elsa, right?"

Shan's cries finally stopped.

"Sir, I think we should call mama." Jimmy's proposal was immediately rejected by Salsa.

"No, what the hell, brother. Shan is fine, isn't he Shan?"

Change of situation happens.

Shan nodded and called out. "Let's play again!"

Shan is starting to suck. He moved his body relying on both hands. Dragging his two immovable legs towards the toy storage container.

Although he just had a nosebleed very much, he did not hesitate in the least to continue playing.

One of his cousins, Jimmy, still has a feeling of fear, but Salsa brushes over it.

"Sister, Shan wants to play. Let's play, let's follow him. This could be our secret."

"Ta—but brother pity deck..." Jimmy bowed with a sad face.

Salsa grabbed her brother's face and directed him to look at her. "Sister, we're here on a mission to make Shan seneng right? Remember our mission, right, brother?"

Jimmya finally nodded. The boy wiped his sad face and smiled enthusiastically as he had.

The two boys then scatter with Shan. Choose other toys that are in the container to be played with.

Half an hour passed, the adults returned to where their children were.

"Wihhh, what the hell are you guys playing?" ask Chandra when she comes into the room.

"Much of om!" exclaim Jimmy. Chandra rubbed Jimmy's hair a glance, then turned to approach Shan who was sitting on the surface of the floor.

Chandra crouched down and greeted her little daughter. "Where's darling? Shan Seneng can play with his brothers again?"

Shan nodded.

"You're tired of saying yes, Shan can rest for a while."

"Yes pa."

Chandra frowned as her vision caught something that stole her attention.

The kolong bed. What is that thing? Like the remnants of the original discarded tissue. Who was wasting tissue like that?And briefly.... There seems to be something unusual about this rubbish.

The curious Chandra tried to focus his attention again.

Upon finding out, Chandra reflexively grabbed Shan's face. Chandra raised Shan's face slightly upwards to see something.

"Are you the nosebleed, Shan?"

Deg.

Chandra finds out what really just happened to the little boy.

All corners of the eyes in the room were now listening to Chandra and Shan.

The other two little children standing behind their mother's body were now flooded with sweat.

"Not so pa." Shan could still avoid the reality that has been proven.

But.... It was not as people expected that Chandra would get angry and go berserk because her son was not in good shape. Chandra...

"Let's clean the nose first baby, then continue playing again, okay?" Chandra carried Shan towards the bathroom and did as she said.

Afternoon to evening. Exactly about to enter Maghrib time, Shan's cousins say goodbye to going home.

"Let's salim kids, tomorrow we'll be here again after school. Shan don't be sad, wait for us." said Yolla.

Salsa and Jimmy shake hands with Shan. Shan who was on the bed was seen bending his face, a sign of heavy heart because the two cousins were going to leave him.

The room in the hospital will be back quiet. And Shan was very unhappy with the one whose name was quiet.

"Eh no papa Shan, Jimmy's brother Salsa will be back tomorrow. They have to go home, baby, because tomorrow they have to go to school. Don't be so sad..." Chandra hugged Shan's nearly sobbing body.

It turns out that saying goodbye to Shan is this painful.

Shan's hand was successful, but Shan did not reply. This little boy had finally dissolved in his sobs as well.

Chandra could only sigh, while calming the heartbreakingly crying Shan.

It turned out that Shan's cry lasted quite a long time. Yolla's family has reached home, Shan is still crying.

"Heii don't like that dong Shan, can't cry constantly. I'll see you tomorrow again..." Chandra still calms Shan down.

"Hiks... "

"Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?"

Chandra himself was astonished. Why is this kid so mellow? Why does this child want to be accompanied all the time with them? Wh why? Whyyy???

"Cup Shania, Shania can't cry. Laper." Later." Rosa approached Chandra and Shan by the window.

Highlight the drowning dawn instantly made the three finally fixated in its beauty.

Orange color, so soothing to the heart...

"Suppose Shan? It's called sunset."

Shan forgot his cry, he gawked at the sight that his papa fingers pointed at. After a while, a question came up.

"It—where is the sun going?"

"But it's gone Shan, change the moon."

"Can't that be? Why pa??"

"Emmm... I don't know what Shan is. It's destiny."

"Tak—takdir? What is destiny?"

Chandra turned towards Shan. "You're a lot of Shan."

Unknowingly Rosa's laughter instantly came out. Rosa reflexively laughed, and eventually made Chandra and Shan focus his attention on Rosa.

"Eh sorry... Emm—Shania asked what is destiny?" Rosa tried to neutralize her embarrassment.

Shan nodded. "Yes, what is destiny? Shan doesn't understand."

Rosa smiled for a moment before explaining. "So Shania, that destiny is a line that God has set."

"Line? What line, brother? How did God draw the line?"

Chandra immediately threw a gaze as if 'Even, its length would be. Kapok!' towards Rosa.

Rosa simply returned Chandra's gaze with a smile.

"Gini Shania, that means the line is something that has been arranged with God. God planned for our good. So if the fate of the sun sinks and then changes the moon it is intended so that people know that the day is not always day or there is a bright sun. There will always be a Shania night. Night for people to rest after a day of activity. So God divides time between day and night for the good of the people."

"Ah Shan doesn't understand."

Chandra reflexes patting her own forehead. "Udahlah, tomorrow if you are big you will understand. Anyway there was the same day that night Shan's destiny."

Shan grumbled for a moment.

The three pairs of netra are then again centered on the sunset which is only seconds away.

The day was finally really dark.

Shan who was still on top of Chandra's sling slowly placed his head on the chest of Chandra's field.

Chandra looked down to look at his daughter. "Shan's sleepy, huh?"

Shan shook his head slowly.

Chandra then scratched Shan's body because he thought Shan was currently sleepy. However, the comfortable movement Chandra gave off instantly stopped when...

"Loh Shan, is your body an angel?"

Chandra made sure of it again by touching the little boy's forehead, cheeks, and neck. Chandra looked at Rosa.

Rosa then touched Shan's body. Shan's forehead was indeed slightly warmer than the temperature of the other people.

"Shania's dizzy?" rosa asked, Shan immediately shook his head.

Chandra sighed a little. The man then brought Shan to sit on the edge of his bed.

"Why? Shan why Chandra?" The goddess who had just finished the maghrib prayer was immediately panicked to see the Chandra and Rosa gelagat who were also panicking.

"This is Shan's body, anget ma."

"Ha angel? How can??"

"Ck! It was mama diem. Noisy old man." Chandra's getting upset. Given the operation will be carried out tonight, but suddenly Shan's condition is not fit like this.

"I just call doctor Hans ya." said Rosa but immediately got a clash by Chandra.

"How to call?! Doctor Hans will be in a meeting for surgery later! Didn't you know just now that he told you?! The basic thing is you budeg!"

Rosa can only be privileged.

"There take Shan for a drink of water."

Rosa was silent for a moment. In his mind, Shan is still required to fast. But the plot he got from Chandra immediately made him run towards the pantry.

Rosa came with a glass of water in her hand.

"here." Chandra takes over the glass and drinks it to Shan.

"No papa time ya drink a little, pity Shan his thirst to fever gini" said Chandra.

Why all of a sudden? No one knows exactly the answer.

"Udah yes now Shan bobok first. Papa kelonin yes." said Chandra softly.

Chandra then positioned Shan's body to sleep comfortably. Then Chandra's own body took a position next to Shan's.

Actually, no one knows exactly what time the operation will take place. Dr. Hans hasn't told you. The doctor just said it's tonight.

I don't know, it looks like the operating room is still being prepared. It's okay not while waiting for everything to be ready Shan-nya sleep first for a while.

"Dear baby, what do you see?" Chandra wondered why Shan kept looking up. Towards the ceiling of the room.

Rosa who was not far from the bed was also curious.

"Kung-kung..."

"Huh?" Sontak Chandra was shocked. His heart beat became faster.

Shan pointed towards the ceiling using his hands. "Kung-kung.... Kung-kung came by. Kungs... Shan...."

Deg.

"What are you talking about Shan?? Oi! Hey look here! Look at papa Shan!!!" Chandra grabbed Shan's face, directing him to look at her. But the child's eyes are still focused on other things.

"Ma! Mama!" Chandra finally shouted out to the Goddess.

The Goddess came and immediately came into confusion like Chandra and Rosa.

"Well what is this? Shan called papa. Papa said come ma! Shan's kung-kung is coming!"

The Goddess' tears instantly dripped. The goddess hugged Shan who was also still embraced by Chandra.

Meanwhile, Rosa still did not understand what was going on. Kung-kung what does that mean? What is kung-kung? Who is kung-kung?

...***...

Rosa's POV

Chandra yells.

"Shan! Shan's! Look at papa Shan! What you see is heiii! Papa here Shan! Shannn!"

"That's Shan. Come on, Dengerin uti Shan. Follow uti Shan, astaghfirullah..."

I covered my own mouth with both hands. My feelings are getting less and less. My hunch is not good.

"Kung-kung, Shan's coming... Bring Shan kung..."

"NO SHAN!" Chandra is crying hysterically.

I immediately hugged him from behind. I couldn't see Shania's frail body being shaken so violently by Chandra.

I grabbed that tiny hand. Hands that clenched very tightly. I tried to open it so I could hold it, but it was very difficult. Shania clenched very strongly.

"Shania is really you why?" My cry grew when I saw Shania's body start convulsing.

"Shannn!!!" Chandra was hysterically screaming. Emotionally she hugged her Shania. Putting that tiny, spastic body inside his chest.

You can only cry and keep saying God's name as hard as you can.

L'm... I really am no longer in power. My heart feels crumpled. I am not in a situation like this.

Oh my God help my Shania!

"Shanie... Shanias... Hikk... You are strong, baby. Shania...." I continued to hold the two small hands that were clenching so tightly and called out to him.

The emergency button I pressed next to the bed did not in fact make the medics come to help.

I climbed into the bed trying to calm Shania and Chandra together.

"Chandra please calm down..."

I do not know until when Shan will stop seizures, but with Chandra who continues to cry and hold the small body, I think it is all the wrong way.

"Chandra we need to calm down!"

Chandra didn't tease me at all, the man was still crying and crying. Shaking Shania's body and hugging her again.

Suddenly, blood spouts out of Shania's mouth. The little boy vomited blood.

A lot of blood.

Chandra, me, and Mama were in shock. The three of us instantly fell silent for a few seconds like freezing for a moment.

Shania is still vomiting. The boy took a swing and...

Byurr...

Chandra's white clothes were now flooded with bloodstains.

Mama immediately searched for everything, things that could be used to hold the blood that Shania was releasing because it seemed like Shania was going to vomit again.

I tried to take over to take Shania from Chandra's lap but Chandra refused.

Chandra.

Chandra wanted to hug the child herself.

But I knew very well that if the man was blood phobic, he was afraid of blood. I don't want Chandra to limp and faint again. I don't want to.

"Please! Let me just go! I'm papa! He's my son!"

Deg.

I was flabbergasted for a split second. That's right Chandra said, but I... Not that I'm his mom, either.

Mama Dewi came with a small bucket in her hand, along with the doctors who barged into the room.

"Doctor t*l*l! The incompetent doctor! B*doh!" Chandra directly condoned the swear words for the humans in white suits.

Chandra is really emotional. Her cries, her anger, and her fears mixed into one.

I pulled Chandra down from the bed so the doctors could take action on Shania.

But it turns out that just getting off is not enough, the medics told the three of us to get out of the room.

"Wouldn't! I'm not going out! I'll keep my son here! Who the hell are you ranting meee?!"

"Chandra..."

"Chandra's patient son, let's get out."

"WILL NOT!" Chandra pushed my body and the body of the mother who had almost managed to bring her to the exit. We both lost, the manpower was too strong.

Chandra ran over to Shania, who was drowning in the doctors' hands.

My heart was sobbing that I saw Chandra so desperately crying, clasping Shania's hand so tightly, begging Shania, who was being pressed against her chest by one of the doctors, to regain consciousness and open her eyes.

But the response Shania gave made me so limp. Shania's oxygen saturation dropped dramatically, to the point that Shania had to be fitted with intubation, a long tube that directly entered through her mouth and throat to the esophagus to be driven to breathe manually.

Chandra wept even more when the monitor measuring Shania's heart rate formed an irregular, almost straight line.

I ran to where Chandra was. Immediately release the man's grip on Shania's small hand as soon as the doctor will shock Shania's heart with a defibrillator.

"Shan!!!" chandra screams as the two iron-like objects land on Shania's small chest.

Shania's body is lifted automatically due to the shock reaction, then falls back to the bed surface.

"Add voltage. 200 joules." the doctor ordered.

A buzzing sound filled the room. The device is ready to be reused. The doctor rubbed them both...

"Clear! "

"Shann!!!" Chandra screaming.

Repeatedly Shania's body lifted up, then as if slammed back into the bed. Shania must be in a lot of pain now, which makes Chandra even more hysterical.

I don't know what to do. Chandra's body felt heavier in my arms. The words of my opponent were not heard in his ears at all.

I give up Chandra, I give up...

I am also sad for Shania. I don't want Shania to be like this either. But please, strengthen yourself...

My shoulder felt very wet from Chandra's tears. I'm not very strong. Until finally doctor Hans came and helped me to carry Chandra out.

Dr. Hans sat Chandra down on one of the waiting room benches. I was still hugging the burly body that was now sobbing until this very great cravings.

"Chandra. Relax..."

Chandra immediately looked at me with her sharp eyes. Although his face was covered in tears, his gaze seemed to stab me.

Chandra grabbed my collar and grabbed it.

I immediately suffocated.

"Ch—Chandra." Doctor Hans tried to break up however....

Chandra jaws harden. "Quiet down? You can tell me to calm down!" chandra shouted right in my face.

The teary-eyed Chandra further tightened her grip.

"Loe... I can't understand what I'm feeling. He's my son. My son is dying!"

"CHANDRA HE'S MY SON TOO! I'M HER MOM!"

I can feel for myself how Chandra's grip is stretching. Chandra let me go, his muscular hand now drooping and falling limp.

I pulled Chandra's attention again. I pulled her eyes so she would look at me again.

"Chandra Stop said she was just your son. Shania is my son and Chan. I'm sorry, but I'll be there whenever I'm Shania's mother..."

Chandra lowered her head, letting her tears flow more and more.

I really didn't mean to make it worse like that. But, but this is all true. It's all reality.

"Chandra, I'm as sad as you are. I'm so scared of losing Shania. I can't even tell him that I'm his mother."

Chandra ruffled her own hair in frustration. With a limp body he stood up and began to step footily towards the door of the room where Shania was.

Chandra saw the conditions inside through the glass on the door. The next moment the man cried hysterically again.

I was about to hug her, but.... The man passed away.

Chandra stepped away from me, leaving the door that bordered the room where her little daughter struggled between life and death.

Chandras... Where you going?
