Bi Tinah noticed Agatha who looked busy with her laptop, even several times she saw Agatha leaving the room because she had to take a phone call. Bi Tinah saw that Agatha was like switching offices to a hospital because she had to take care of Rizal.
The impression of Bi Tinah first saw and met Agatha, not much different from when she first met Grace. It looks scary and scary. However, after meeting often at this hospital, even though only a few times met, it turns out Agatha and Grace did have something in common.
" Mrs ..." When Agatha started to look casually at the television in Rizal's outpatient room, Bi Tinah tried to talk to Agatha. He wanted to say what he heard yesterday when Rizal mentioned Sonia's name.
" What's up, Bi?" Agatha turned her head towards Bi Tinah with her hand holding the remote looking for a good television channel for her to watch.
Bi Tinah then walked over to Agatha who was sitting on the sofa and was sitting at the end of the sofa.
" What's up, Bi?' agatha asked again looking suspiciously at the attitude of ART in her daughter-in-law's house.
" So, Mom. Actually when Non Grace checked the contents yesterday, Mr. Rizal had delirious, Mom." said Bi Tinah began to tell about the incident yesterday morning when Grace and Agatha left Rizal's hospital room to check the contents.
Agatha immediately placed the television remote she had been holding on the table. Bi Tinah's words certainly made him shocked. Since first being admitted to the hospital, only this time he heard Rizal react, although only delirious.
" Rizal's delirious? When's? Why didn't Aunt tell me, anyway?" Agatha was astonished that Bi Tinah who did not immediately report the incident of Rizal was delirious to her.
" Sorry, Mom. Auntie's afraid of it." Bi Tinah mentioned the reason that made him not directly say about Rizal who began to show a reaction.
" Fear why? Afraid of who?" ask Agatha when Bi Tinah .nebut the word fear.
" Aunty was afraid that Non Grace knew, Mom" Bi Tinah replied saying the real reason.
" Why can't Grace know, Bi? He was hoping for the recovery of Rizal, Bi. If Rizal has reacted that's good, we can also consult a doctor." Agatha felt disappointed and blamed Bi Tinah's attitude which hid the response from Rizal.
" Sorry, Mom. You're afraid that Non Grace will be sad to hear what Mr. Rizal said yesterday." Bi Tinah was still trying to defend herself.
* What did Rizal say, Bi?" Agatha was curious what the sentence spoken by Rizal made Bi Tinah cover it.
" Hmmm, Mr. Rizal is delirious to mention the name of Ms. Sonia, Mom." Finally Bi Tinah said the thing that made her cover up what Rizal said from anyone especially from Grace and Isabella.
" Sonia? Who's Sonia?" Agatha frowned. But his heart guessed if it was part of Rizal's past.
" Sonia's Mom is Non-Bella, Mom" Bi Tinah replied.
" Rizal's ex-wife?" It is true Agatha's guess that Sonia was a part of Rizal's past.
" Yes, Mom. Sonia's mother died six years ago. Bibi thought when Mr. Rizal delirious, Mr. Rizal was being visited by Sonia's mother, so Mr. Rizal mentioned the name of Sonia's mother. What I heard once said is that sick people are visited by people who have died is a bad sign. That's why Auntie didn't tell me because this would make Non Grace sad, ma'am." Bi Tinah explained in detail the exact reason she hid the fact that she heard Rizal delirious.
" Do you think Aunt should tell this to Non Grace?" This time Bi Tinah asked. " Aunty doesn't want Non Grace and Non Bella to be saddened to hear this, Mom." Bi Tinah continued later.
" No, Bi! Grace is pregnant. He cannot hear anything that stresses him. Yeah, well, Auntie better not talk to Grace about this. I'm not ashamed this will affect Grace's emotions. Let me consult a doctor about Rizal's reaction." Agatha was finally able to understand why Bi Tinah had hidden it to Grace.
" What Papy reaction, Ma?"
Agatha and Bi Tinah gasped in shock upon hearing Grace's voice from Rizal's inpatient room door.
" Grace?"
" Non Grace?"
Agatha and Bi Tinah looked at each other to see Grace's appearance in the room. The two men spontaneously stood up. Even Agatha walked over to Grace. He hoped that Grace would not hear what she had talked about earlier with Bi Tinah.
" Mom don't think you're gonna be here, Grace." Agatha immediately switched the conversation. " Have you eaten yet?" agatha asked then turned to Bi Saonah who was behind Grace. Bi Saonah was indeed asked by Agatha to accompany Grace during Grace's stay in the apartment she had rented during Rizal's hospital stay.
" Bi, vitamins, su su su pregnant, the fruits and vegetables I asked Grace to make have been drunk and eaten all?" agatha asked Bi Saonah.
" Already, ma'am." replied Bi Saonah.
" Mom, why Papih?" ask Grace Back.
" Rizal's okay, really, Grace." Agatha clasped her hands onto Grace's shoulders and glanced at Bi Tinah, with her eye movements, she told Bi Tinah to stay away so that Grace would not interrogate Bi Tinah in search of answers. " So Mama talked to Bi Tinah, about what things can make Rizal quickly respond to us so that he quickly woke up." Agatha gave an answer that she thought was reasonable and did not invite Grace's suspicions.
" Are you sure that's all Mama talked about with Bi Tinah?" Grace looked into her mother's eyes full of questions.
" Grace, what'd Mama lie to, anyway? Just try to see for yourself, how your husband is if you don't trust Mama." Now Agatha takes Grace to Rizal's gurney.
" You should talk to your husband a lot, Grace. Let him respond quickly and quickly mutter." Agatha advised Grace to keep her spirit awakening Rizal.
" Yes, I want to see a doctor first. Mama wanted to ask what Mama was talking about with Bi Tinah." Agatha passed leaving Grace.
Grace looked at Rizal who was still calm in her sleep. Grace didn't know when her husband would be unconscious. She herself did not know, what the husband felt at this time in his long sleep. Is it true as he had heard from Bi Tinah when he stole the conversation between Agatha and Bi Tinah, even though his mother had covered it up.
The flash back
" No, the road is slow. Don't hurry! Non Grace is pregnant, you know!" Bi Saonah ran following the pace of Grace's footsteps walking in the hospital corridor.
" I want to hurry up to my husband's room, Bi." Grace reasoned to walk quickly because she wanted to get to Rizal's room soon.
" But Non Grace is pregnant young, Non. Must carefully. Young pregnancy is very risky." Bi Saonah advised Grace to think more about the health of the baby in her womb.
" Not bring it up, Bi! It was precisely this fetus in my stomach that prompted me to quickly meet Papih!" Grace used the reason her fetus wanted to quickly meet her Papih.
Soon after, Grace arrived at Rizal's nursery.
" Hmmm, Mr. Rizal is delirious to mention the name of Ms. Sonia, Mom."
Grace held back her steps as she heard Bi Tinah's voice telling Agatha.
" Why, Non?" bi Saonah asked to see Grace stop her steps.
" Ssssthttt ...!" Grace brought her index finger closer to her lips. " Aunty just sit there!" Grace whispered telling Bi Saonah to sit waiting in the front seat of Rizal's room. While he continued to hear sentence after sentence spoken by Agatha with Bi Tinah until finally arriving at Bi Tinah's speech about the meaning of the dream of the deceased person who was sick, moreover, this one week her husband was like a good sleep in his sleep.
" Yes, Mom. Sonia's mother has been dead for six years. Bibi thought when Mr. Rizal delirious, Mr. Rizal was being visited by Sonia's mother, so Mr. Rizal mentioned the name of Sonia's mother. What I heard once said is that sick people are visited by people who have died is a bad sign. That's why Auntie didn't tell me because this would make Non Grace sad, ma'am."
A drop of tears immediately fell on Grace's cheek to hear Bi Tinah's story back. Is the reason her husband did not also wake up from his coma because Rizal's spirit felt comfortable in his subconscious because it was accompanied by a woman who was loved by Rizal first.
Unable to hear the conversation between Mama and Bi Tinah, Grace finally decided to enter Rizal's room. And because the two people who were talking in Rizal's room intended to hide the story from her because they were worried about the condition of her pregnancy, Grace also chose as if she did not know everything she had stolen.
Flash back off
Grace sat on the edge of the gurney with her hands clasping Rizal's hands. She really misses the warmth of her husband's touch that she hasn't felt in a week.
" Don't Papih want to continue like this? Is Papih calmer with Bella's mom over there, Pih? Papih wants to leave me? Papih wants to leave the children Papih? Papih can make our child is born without a father? Not only will Bella lose her Papih, but the fetus in my stomach is also, Pih." Grace sobbed with a kiss on the back of Rizal's hand and fingers. It was also then that Grace suddenly felt the movement of Rizal's hand that she was holding. Grace immediately opened her eyes and saw the slow movement of Rizal's fingers
" Son .. nia ...."
Grace was wide-eyed and turned to look at Rizal's face. Her husband's eyes were still closed. Rizal's lips clenched again.
" Darry, wake up, pih! It's me ... Grace! Papih's wife, Mama's future from the seed that Papih planted in my womb, Pih!" Grace brought her face closer to Rizal's. His hand now even rubbed Rizal's face hoping that Rizal quickly realized. Indeed, he would not be willing if Rizal was taken by Rizal's former wife who had died.
" Oh, Mamih Bella is calm in nature! I don't want Papih to choose Sonia! Sonia no longer needs Papih! I need Papih! The Papih children who need Papih in this world! Don't lose responsibility by leaving us alone! Come on get up, Pih! Wake up!!" Grace even shakes Rizal's shoulder with a sob.
" Non, Non, Bella. Patience, Non." Bi Saonah who was in Rizal's room immediately approached Grace when she heard Grace cry and spoke in a high tone to Rizal who did not react anything.
***
Agatha rubbed Grace's back and let Grace lean on her shoulder, as they faced the doctor who was treating Rizal. He and his daughter need an explanation from Peter's doctor about Rizal's condition.
" Medically, Mr. Rizal's condition has improved, ma'am. Just waiting for Mr. Rizal to wake up. If the patient has responded with movement and sound, that's a huge improvement. For this reason, I recommend that people closest to the patient continue to provide story therapy by retelling fun stories to train brain circuits that are responsible for long-term memory. The sangan rang slowly helped trigger the awakening of the patient's consciousness while in a coma." Doctor Peter continues to encourage the family to actively tell stories. **
" The awareness arising from the story can increase to a great opportunity to help coma patients to be more quickly aware. The patient is also more aware of his or her environment in order to respond to the conversation" Dr. Peter says. **
" What if the patient is delirious and names the deceased, Doc?" Agatha heataran with the speech of Bi Tinah which is referred to as a bad omen.
" For it's beyond my ability as a medic, ma'am. Maybe you can ask someone who knows about religious spirituality to get the answers you're looking for." Doctor Peter advises asking people who are experts in such matters outside of medical.
" My advice is that the family should be patient to continue to communicate with patients. Use imagery and intonation in speech as if talking to a person in normal consciousness" Dr. Peter says.
" Do doctors think it's necessary for my son-in-law to be transferred abroad, Doc?" ask Agatha back. If treated in a hospital abroad with complete and adequate facilities Rizal possibility of recovery is greater, Agatha does not mind it as long as the husband of her child is quickly aware.
" As I said, Mom. Medically, Mr. Rizal's condition has arguably improved. Just waiting for the willingness of the patient to regain consciousness. So being treated wherever the results are won't be much different, ma'am." Doctor Peter explained that the results will remain the same if the patient is more comfortable with long sleep.
" Outside of all that, prayer assistance is also very important, so that patients are quickly aware," said Peter, the most important factor in healing sick patients outside of medical treatment.
" Dok, can my husband be treated at home by himself?" Hearing the doctor's explanation, Grace thought of taking her husband home and taking care of him at home.
" It could be, Ma'am. Provided that the condition of his room is adjusted to the condition of his current inpatient room. Including her support tools. And there must also be experts who monitor the patient's condition." Doctor Peter explained.
" I want to take my husband home, Doc. Let me focus on taking care of my husband." Grace thinks that if Rizal is treated at home, he can twenty-four hours accompany Rizal without having to fear contracting the disease as if he were in the hospital as feared by his mother.
" Grace, are you sure you're gonna bring Rizal home?" Agatha is hesitant about Grace's plans.
" I'm sure, Ma! Here I can not at all times accompany Papih because Mama forbid. If I'm at home, I'll be able to take care of Papih because it's safer for pregnant women than hospitals." Grace is more determined by her decision to bring Rizal home. So that she was more intense in taking care of her husband.
" How, doctor? Is it safe for patients?" Agatha tried to get Doctor Peter's opinion.
" If Grace is ready and confident, and all patient requirements for home care can be provided, no problem, ma'am. We will help provide nurses who will help Ms. Grace take care of Mr. Rizal at home. Later I will also routinely control Mr. Rizal's condition." Doctor Peter tries to make sure the facilities that support Rizal in-home care can be available.
***
" Mam, please tell people to renovate the room in my house. Make this inpatient room comfortable." Grace enlists Agatha's help to carry out what Doctor Peter recommends.
" You want to bring it home to you, Grace?" Agatha wondered why Grace had not brought Rizal's house.
" I will not take Papih to his house as long as Papih has not realized, Mam. There are many memories of Papih with his ex-wife. I'm afraid it will affect Papih's willingness to be humanized. If it's at my house and close to Papih's office, maybe it's more up. Papih loved his job. Who knew it would make Papih quickly aware." Grace explained the reason for choosing to take Rizal home, not to Rizal's house that holds many memories with Sonia.
" But you have to talk about this to your husband's son, Grace. He is also entitled to his Papih. Don't let him think you hate his mamih and you want to master Rizal." Agatha had Grace communicate with Isabella as well. Agatha does not want Isabella to assume that Grace wants to hit Rizal.
" Yes, Mam. I'll give Bella some understanding. I'm sure, Bella also more want Papihnya stay alive, even though Bella is also very fond of Mamihnya. Or maybe I'll tell Bella to stay here for a while until Papih wakes up." Grace felt that what she was doing was not just because of her ego. But also for the good of all, including for Rizal and Isabella. And Grace Yanin, Isabella will definitely support him, because Isabella does not want her Papih to catch up with her Mamihan and make Isabella an orphan.
" Yes, if you are sure of that. Later Mama will arrange people to make your room as comfortable as the nursery for Rizal." Agatha finally agreed to what Grace had asked for.
" Thank you, Mum." Grace hugged Agatha's body. He is happy when he is having problems, his mother can be there to accompany him, as well as Agatha who feels happy she can make peace with Grace and their relationship is getting warmer.
