Pluviophille Love Story's

Chapter 16's

I walked down the aisle of the hospital in a hurry since I got out of Panji's car after he mentioned the hospital room where my father was being treated, until I reached the front room mentioned by Panji earlier.

My mother hugged me when she saw my presence.

Among the three of us I was the closest to Dad, if I was sick, Dad would be sick too, and vice versa.

“Mbak no papa Nak? Clouds said you fainted” I shook my head slowly without looking at Mama, my gaze was on a man who had been pouring out his affection for me.

Dad, lying weakly in a hospital safe using a breathing apparatus and some wires on his chest, I don't know what the function is, but the cable is connected to a monitor screen, he said, describing the strange waves I had just seen for the first time.

That bad?

“Dad why Ma?” I asked with a raucous voice to hold back the cry.

“Said the doctor heart attack mbak, father immediately fainted after complaining of chest tightness, this is still waiting for the results of other tests to know the cause and the next action” replied my mother while continuing to gently caress my back.

I turned around and hugged my Mama's body tightly, unable to see the situation of Father who was so weak before me.

“I don't want to see Daddy like this Ma, don't want to, when is dad coming home?” I cried with tears that I could no longer hold.

My mama was silent, but her hand movements were still the same, gently stroking my back and the top of my head, trying to give me a calmness that would not be easy at this time, because I won't calm down before Dad wakes up and can be like before now.

From the puddles of tears still gathered in my eyes, I caught the silhouette of a man, after those tears fell, I could clearly see who that person was.

Pennant.

She had not yet come home and sat down beside my sister, holding onto my sister's sad-looking shoulder.

I don't want to give it a damn, let it be if he still wants to be here.

After trying to accept this situation, I approached Dad's gurney and sat down beside him, reaching for his big hand that had been supporting my family with great difficulty.

The hand that always gives calm when I am restless and sad, now the hand is not as warm as usual.

“Dad, why is this, he said the father is a strong man, why is the father sick? Why yah? Are you tired, huh? After this father can not say anything, let me work, father rest at home, please do not be like this well, I still want to be happy father with mom, I still want to be happy with you, wait for me to realize it all” I dropped my head on that hand after being content to complain as usual to father, but this time it was different, there was no elusan hand that calmed the heart.

I cried, I didn't like to see a father who just kept quiet like this, Dad was never indifferent to me like this.

“We pray father that nothing happens yes Mbak” I nodded, still in the same position.

“Excuse me” my gaze was shifted on someone who had just come, it seemed like he was the doctor who handled my father, it was because he was wearing a doctor-style white suit.

I immediately stood up and approached him, I wanted to know the state of my father.

“How is my father doctor?” the man's doctor was silent for a moment, looking at me and Mama alternately.

“Let's talk to my room, there's something I have to explain and need family” approval he said calmly.

My crying broke out, which I knew, if it ever required a family decision, it meant that there would be great action to be taken against my father.

“Let me just doc, let doctor” break my mama.

I shook my head in disbelief and held my mother's hand tightly when Mama was about to move, I also wanted to know my father's situation, I wanted to come along.

“You are here the same Awan yes Ma'am, accompany Dad, afraid Dad will realize and need something” mama is right too, finally I let mama go to the doctor's room alone.

I sat down next to my father's gurney, looked back at his pale face, I was afraid, really scared if something bad happened to him.

Between conscious and unconscious I saw Dad's eyes slowly open, after making sure it was true my heart was a little relieved.

“Dad? Dad up?” ask me with a loud voice.

My father glanced at me, then smiled, his big hand lifted and wiped away the tears that were still on my cheek, instead of stopping I was crying more, I was moved and sad, I was moved and sad, at a time like this, Dad was still thinking about my situation.

“Don't cry Nay” he said softly, but I can hear it clearly even though his voice mingled with the sound of a medical device that was on my father's side.

“Everyday dad don't get sick, Naya is sad to see a father like this, dad must be healed right? he said he wanted to see me and Awan get married and have a family of their own” my protest, dad smiled more and more, his hands gently stroking the top of my head.

“Iya son, dad still wants to be your marriage guardian and see you marry” I smile and nod for sure. I will make that happen well, my promise is in my heart.

But my smile faded as my father held onto his chest like it was in pain, why is this?! Then his eyes that a moment ago opened closed again, along with the loud sound of the tool that had been beside my father's gurney.

“AYAH!!!!!” my screams.

“Excuse the patient's family please come out briefly” said the nurse while stopping me from going out, there is already a mother, sister and Panji.

I fell into the arms of my mother who was crying.

“What does doctor ma say? I woke up a little while ago, and then like that again, I don't papa right Ma?” I felt my mother holding me tighter, we cried together.

Mama unraveled our embrace, “Dad had to be operated on immediately mbak, there are many blockages in Dad's vessels that cause his heart does not function normally”

“But dad can heal right?” mama's quiet.

“Doctor can not be sure because all the possibilities are there, we can only pray and try our best for Dad now” I cry.

Bad shadows immediately crossed my mind.

Before long the hospital door opened, the same doctor appeared. I couldn't catch all the talk, which I knew clearly, My father had another heart attack and had to undergo surgery.

I sat in the waiting chair with the pennant, because my mother had to sign the consent form for the patient's family, while Awan went into my father's ward.

Remembering dad's last words, you wanted me to get married!

Panji wanted to marry me because of her mother's request, right? Now that I also want to get married because my father is currently struggling with his pain inside, this looks like a win-win solution for us.

I sat facing him, noticing my guts he was also looking at me, we looked at each other.

I suppress my shame as strong as possible because I licked my own saliva , my determination that was already round made me able to say, “Panji, let's marry”

He looked at me in disbelief, I closed my eyes to string the words together to make it clear what I wanted, the sentence also felt ambiguous in my spine.

“Let's marry me, now, in front of my father”.
