The body shivered and the teeth clenched together.
"Reliminator..." The sound of sneezing was earthy with the sound of the squinting of a worn iron door that finally opened.
Chequek..
"Rose!" Chandra immediately ran and hugged Rosa's body which felt very cold.
"It's really sorry, I've forgotten not to open the door. Sorry... You must have waited a very long time, Sa, and shivering gini."
"No papa, it's not cold Chan—hachimm..."
Chandra felt more guilty when she saw Rosa's nose flushed and... Looks like Rosa has the flu.
"Let's get out of here soon." Dr. Hans lends his doctor's suit to Rosa. With his own hands, Dr. Hans put the suit on the woman's body.
The two men embrace Rosa, helping her to leave the cold dark place immediately.
"It looks like it's jammed bad. Understand the old gini." said the staff maintenance of hospital facilities while trying to move the rooftop access door knob.
"Yes really dong sir, the hospital time elite rich gini, the door is dilapidated huh." ketus Chandra.
"Emm, for a while given a notice paper only if the door is not safe. Let people be more careful." Doctor Hans mediates.
Now the drama stuck in the rooftop is finally resolved. Chandra, Rosa and Dr. Hans are now in the warm room where Shan is usually treated.
Indeed, Shan is not currently here, but this place can still be occupied by the Chandra family as a place to rest after taking turns accompanying Shan in the ICU.
"Where is my dad?" Rosa cuddled in various directions looking for the figure in question. In the corridor, outside, in the waiting room seat was not found the stature of his father. Rosa was beginning to worry.
Is it possible that her father has come home? But why didn't his father wait until Shan woke up as he had promised?
"Try me on the phone first Sa." advice from Dr. Hans. Rosa.
"Hello, where's dad?" Rosa got up from her seat, still with her phone stuck to her ear.
"Yes I'm there now yeah."
Chandra and Dr. Hans only see Rosa's back passing out of the room.
"I want to see my daughter" said Chandra, who also went out of the room.
"I'm coming too."
Chandra furrowed his brows for a moment at Dr. Hans, as if 'Why is this person following me on?'
Eventually, the two agreed to go together.
...***...
The loud noise made from Shan's heart-rate monitoring monitor made Chandra's eyes not even careless.
All the fatigue and drowsiness Chandra really did not feel. Chandra will be up all night to accompany Shan. He did not have the heart to close his eyes even for a few seconds.
"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine... You make me happy, till sky are grey..." The chanting chant Chandra sings unconsciously makes another listener shed tears.
The figure was Rosa, Rosa who stood behind without Chandra's knowledge in silence had cried. Crying not because of hearing Chandra's discordant voice, but because hearing the song is so touching his feelings.
Chandra sings it with all her heart. Rosa could feel it.
"Eh Rosa's..." Chandra finally realizes Rosa's presence. The man told Rosa to come closer.
Another chair was appointed by Chandra. He told Rosa to sit on the chair opposite to him. Now Chandra and Rosa look at each other, with Shan's hands each in their grasp.
"That time... That time... When Shan's first immunization, it looks like the doctor made a mistake. Shan until the cry shock, until very red. I was scared to death. Then mama... I was just being taken by my mom at the time. We forget not to bring the pacifier, so that mama must go home first to take the pacifier at home. Hmmmm if I want to do that, I feel very comfortable. How can I be so careless that I left Shan's dot. YesAllah where Shan is very small, still 3 kg. And it's like what traumatized Shan from the needle was that his first immunization left a bad impression on him."
Rosa developed her smile. Her little heart trembled. It was a fear in the sadness and also the taste.... Satiated? Ah not teruhuh. More precisely what? Nelangsa. Nelangsa because Rosa should have been there at that time, not just hearing stories from Chandra like this.
Rosa looked at Chandra fixedly back. Rosa is excited to hear Chandra's story about the past. Rosa wants to hear more, if possible Chandra has to tell her everything. All the development and growth of Shania.
"Before it hurts, Shan I registered it at the Kindergarten in front of the complex. But yes, stupidly I turned out the ideal age to enter Kindergarten was 4 years. I really miss Sa, that's not what I understand. I should have found out first. I swear I was stupid."
Rosa continued to display her smile, despite the fact that her heart felt sore because it was filled with regret.
"Chandra, after recovery, we'll send Shania to school. We'll take Shania to school each time, then pick her up. I can't wait for that. Shania must really like it."
Changes occur in Chandra's facial expression. Why so?
"Sander... You don't want that, do you?"
No answer was given by Chandra. His mouth seemed to be tightly locked.
What's really going on?
Until slowly heard the sound of breathing sounds released by Chandra. "In the future, no one knows. I'll still think about it..."
Chandra's words made Rosa nod. "Whatever it is I'll take it Chandra."
Rosa was very understanding. He will not expect more. All decisions are in Chandra's hands.
Rosa opened her voice again. "Chandra let's tell you something else about Shania."
Although with a look that still looks cold but Chandra obey Pinta Rosa.
"Shan likes to draw. Coloring moreover. He likes colorful things."
"Shania told me that. We both have the same hobbies Chan."
"Wait a minute, I haven't finished the story." said Chandra. Rosa apologized.
"Even so there was an event at the PAUD, the coloring competition was the same guardian. Hehe, all of Shan's friends brought his mother, but Shan... Shan's just like me." Chandra's shrinking tone of voice meant that he could not lie. Chandra couldn't hide her sadness when she said that.
Instead of being sad, Chandra continued the story. "You don't know, Shan was really ambitious. I just realized the fitting of the coloring race at that time, I swear. Your son doesn't want to lose Sa."
Rosa's smile expands when Chandra says the word 'your son' to her.
"Shan was angry when I made the vow when I colored it not according to his wishes. I was so scared that he would cry. It would be complicated if he cried in his class. There are many more mothers. I'm ashamed dong, thought this boy again I'm angry. But fortunately Shan was able to cooperate. Shan pinter's son. We can both win the race Sa. I'm so proud of Shan."
Chandra looked towards Shan's face. Smiling with teary eyes. One kiss he pinned on the forehead of the little boy who was sleeping very fast.
"When did Shan wake up? It's still a few hours, but it's been a long time."
"Awhile more. I'm pretty sure that soon Shania will wake up. Let him rest Chan..."
Chandra nodded. The man was now silent, his eyes could not escape from the small figure. Chandra observed every inch of her daughter with a sad look.
"Sometimes I think, why is a child as beautiful, as good, as funny, as cool as Shan even entrusted God to the model father like me? Shan apes really yes get father like I gini."
"Husse... Can't talk like that Chan. Everything is arranged with God. Remember what we said this afternoon to Shania. Everything is destiny. And the coward I am, I reject that fate... Hicks..." Rosa cupped her face. The woman cried with her face covered with both hands.
"Hey don't cry" Chandra said. Soon the man got up from his seat, and headed to Rosa's place.
Chandra hugs Rosa's sobbing body. "Udah ah Sa, if you nangis gini, how will Shan? Shan's coming along later too. It was, cup diem..."
Chandra stroked the top of Rosa's head gently. Chandra recalled, this is the most powerful way to calm Rosa like the experiences of old times.
Slowly but surely Rosa finally felt lightened. Rosa began to look up at Chandra.
"Chandra I want to tell you something."
"What is Sa?"
"So I confessed to Shania that I was her mother."
Chandra sculpts instantly.
~Flashback...
The door of the room was opened by force. Everyone knows very well that no one is allowed to enter while the patient is in action. Chandra was expelled, but why is Rosa back in now? Rosa is a smart, rule-abiding woman, but why is she now a dissident?
Rosa ran and stood beside the bed Shan.
Rosa's tears flowed profusely seeing the frail little body was unfinished - after receiving treatment from doctors so that her life could be saved.
"Rosa let's get up. Don't be here, you won't have Rosa" said Hans, who helped Rosa to her feet, but Rosa insisted on staying in her position.
"Shanie! Shania hold on, baby! Shania is a strong boy! Come on, Shania can do it! Your father is waiting for you, baby! Your Mama— is also waiting for you!"
Rosa saw for herself how the eyelids opened slowly, displaying Shan's very cute and weak eyes.
"Shanias? Shania, you heard me, right?" Rosa grabs Shania's weak hand. The doctors continue to take action. Shan's little chest is still pumped.
Everyone suspected that Shan's open eyes were a spontaneous reaction caused by medical treatment, but for Rosa it was not. This Shan opened his eyes upon hearing a confession.
"Shania, I'm your mama Shan. Right, I'm your mama. This is my dear mother, hold on..."
A tearful groove trickled down from the corner of Shan's eyes, along with the cheek petal that finally closed back.
Shan's heartbeat disappeared for the umpteenth time. And again the two cold paddles were ready to stick to his chest to hurt him.
Rosa was very sure Shan had heard her confession. And that kid... The boy will soon wake up to embrace Rosa as his mother.
The curiosity in your entire life has been answered now Shan...
~Flashback off
Rosa told Chandra everything. Chandra swallows every detail of Rosa's story and understands it.
"Chandra I'm sorry, I had no choice..."
"It's okay, don't apologize. Maybe it's time for Shan to find out who his mother is. Thanks Rosa... Because he confessed..."
Rosa didn't expect Chandra's response to be like this. Rosa thought the man would be very angry and rebuke her. But it didn't.
So right, Chandra has forgiven him wholeheartedly.
Chandra has accepted it.
A small movement is visible. Chandra reflex immediately released his embrace on Rosa and then switched to holding a small finger that was on the bed in front of her.
"Shan's. Shan's finger moved. Call doctor Hans." Quickly."
Rosa ran out to call Dr. Hans who was in the waiting room. Chandra also pressed the emergency button, the other doctors will also come soon.
"Shan, papa here, baby. Don'tbeafraid..."
Chandra's happy cry broke as the eyelids slowly opened.
Shan opened his eyes. Shan woke up, he had regained consciousness.
Doctor Hans immediately checked Shan's vitals, and everything was fine.
Other doctors are starting to help. Because Shan's breathing was stable and no ventilator was needed, it was released.
Shan's unnecessary medical equipment was all released. Leaving only a few wires connecting Shan's chest on the heart rate detection monitor because Shan's heart rate still has to be monitored for some time to come.
"For a while Shan's body condition was still very weak. It was natural because he had just come to his senses. Then, to eat and drink, it seemed like Shan was still not tasteful. It's okay, let Shan rest his body first until things return to their normal state."
"Okay, doctor Hans. Thank you very much." said Dewi while shaking hands with the doctor. The goddess was so moved that she shed tears.
Chandra smiled as she looked at her daughter to show how grateful she was to the doctor.
Shan simply fell silent, staring at the middle-aged woman along with the doctor. Shan occasionally frowned.
"Why baby?" Chandra rubbed his daughter's cheek gently, but...
The touch was pushed aside by Shan's still weak hand.
Everyone was so surprised. Same with Chandra.
"Why Shan?"
Shan did not answer. The child who was still lying looked in all directions.
"Papa, where is this Shan? Who are they all?"
Deg.
