James and Miss Reny headed for the Flamboyant ward. When they arrived at Farida's grandmother's room, there was also seen the mother who had claimed to be the Grandmother's child. A friendly smile was seen on his face as he saw Miss Reny approaching them.

"Good day, Mom .... Good day, Nek .." said Miss Reny and James when they were in front of them.

"Good day .." replied Grandma Farida and her son almost simultaneously.

"Where is Grandma doing now?" ask Miss Reny.

"Still limp, ma'am .." replied Grandma Farida with a condition lying on the patient's bed.

"That's natural well, because grandma's got less blood. I met Mr. James, she said, Grandma asked to go home, have you met her doctor?" Miss Cris asked again.

"Already, Mom. The plan will later transfusion blood 2 more bags. Keep going, tomorrow it will be re-examined. If you have enough, you can go home. That's what the doctor said, " replied Grandma Farida's son.

"Oh, that's good. Hopefully later the Hb will go up well .... Let grandma go home. If it is not enough but it has been repatriated, it can be dangerous. Later granny limp continues even fainted, so more hassle, right? Patience a little more well, Grandma .." persuaded Miss Reny. Grandma and her son just bearded hearing the words of Miss Reny.

Not long after, James and Miss Reny continued their visit to Soka's ward. As a class II patient, Mr. Herman was in a room that was only inhabited by 2 people and happened to be the bed next to Mr. Herman was empty. There he was accompanied by his daughter.

"Good day, sir .." said James and Miss Reny almost at the same time.

"Good day .." replied Princess Mr. Herman kindly. While Mr. Herman himself only replied to them with a nod of the head.

"So Mr. James has visited the Father, but Mr. again physiotherapy. Hows it? Is there progress?" ask Miss Reny. With a disappointed look, Mr. Herman shook his head.

"Father. His name was just a few days. To be able to recover as before, cases like this are indeed long, can be months or even years. The important thing is still to be patient and eager to follow physiotherapy. Is that so, sir?" ask Miss Reny.

Mr. Herman just smiled bitterly. "Manga may be coking (read: Where may be a total recovery ) .." said Mr. Herman with a soft speech due to paralysis of half of his facial muscles.

"You can, sir! There is always a chance of recovery! It does .. it takes a long time. But, with regular exercise and therapy can speed up recovery. The important thing is to be optimistic! The right attitude also affects the recovery you know." said Miss Reny reminded Mr. Herman.

Mr. Herman again shook his head in response to Miss Reny's reply. It seems that he is desperate and desperate for his condition.

Miss Reny and James glanced at Mr. Herman's daughter. Seeing that, the Princess shook her head, as a sign that her father was no longer cooperative to talk to.

Miss Reny sighed softly. "Yes already .... Let's just slow down yeah, sir .... We'll excuse you .." said Miss Reny.

"Come, Sir .... Come on, Brother ...." James said goodbye to Mr. Herman and his daughter.

"Thank you for the visit, ma'am .... Mr. ..." said Mr. Herman's daughter to reply to them. While Mr. Herman himself just fell silent like he was pensive.

After that they came out of Mr. Herman's room and left the Soka ward. While walking Miss Reny asked James with a wry smile on her face, "So what about tomorrow? Mr James still need me to accompany or already confident to make my own visit?"

James smiled. "I'll try to visit myself, ma'am."

"Good then. It's almost 12, want to have lunch together?" asked Miss Crispy while looking at her watch.

"Of course!" james replied with a grin on the face.

...****************...

The next day, after greeting Miss Reny in the counsellor's room, James headed straight for the Flamboyant ward. He wondered if Farida's grandmother would be home today.

"Good morning, Brother .... Has the Internal Medicine Doctor visited ?" james asked the nurse on duty that morning.

"Good morning .... Not yet, Sir. Doctor Amir usually visits around 9-10, "the Nurse replied.

"If so, are the results of Farida's grandmother's blood test already there?" ask James again.

"Just a moment ...." The nurse then took a map and looked through the files inside.

"Already, Sir. This is the result, "the nurse continued, handing James an open map.

James took the map, then noticed the writing inside. The results of Farida's grandmother's blood test were checked today. The Hb number listed there is 10.3 grams/dL. Yesterday James had searched on google that the minimum Hb for safe patients to be sent home was 10. It means most likely grandma could go home today.

James returned the map to the nurse and said, "I went to Farida's grandmother, Sister ...."

"Please, Sir."

Without lingering James left the nurse station and headed to Farida's grandmother's room. Arriving there, he saw Farida's grandmother sitting on her bed. Around him did not seem the usual family accompanied him.

"Good morning, Grandma .." said James.

"Good morning, Doc .." replied the Grandma with a smile.

James only realized that today he was wearing a white shirt. Maybe this is what caused Grandma to recognize him wrongly. He also tried to change the call. "name .... I'm not a doctor. I ..."

"Just the same, anyway .... Wong is taking care of the patient. His clothes were both white." Farida's grandmother cut off James' speech while chuckling.

James sighed with a smile. He decided not to prolong the issue. "Yes, according to Grandma. The important thing .. do not go back the same dr. Amir took care of Grandma well ...."

"Yes. Granny can be different, " replied Grandma Farida.

"By the way, Grandma's own tumben? The family who used to accompany Grandma where?" asked James to switch the topic.

"The other Granny went out to eat breakfast for a bit" replied Grandma.

"Hm .... So how's Grandma doing today? It looks like Grandma's fresher."

It was then that Grandma Farida chuckled back. "Mranny is fresher now. But usually if the stomach ache or pull the black back again, Grandma can suddenly limp. Be honest with Grandma, Doc .... Grandma's disease can't be cured, can it?"

James who was suddenly shot was so shocked. She did not expect Grandma Farida to know about her illness.

Seeing James' response, Grandma chuckled even more. "Even if you try to hide it, Grandma can guess from the look on your face. But because Grandma didn't want the family to be sad, Grandma pretended she didn't know."

"Grandmother is like this? Don't want to try chemotherapy?" ask James carefully.

James was again reminded of the psychology lessons he had learned about quality of life. Farida's grandmother chose to improve her quality of life with her family instead of trying to prolong her life with therapies that might torment her.

James smiled sadly keeping a trenchant taste in his heart. "Yes, Grandma chose that. I've seen Grandma's blood, her Hb has gone up. Waiting for a visit from dr. Amirs. May she let Grandma go home yeah ...."

"Yes, Doc .... Thank you .." replied Grandma Farida with a smile.

That is how their conversation ended. After that, James gave permission to visit the next patient.

James walked towards the Soka ward still with an uncertain feeling. Everyone's choice is different. No one can blame Grandma Farida for giving up treatment to enjoy being with the people she loved in the last days of her life.

Farida's grandmother reminds James that quality of life is not just a matter of longevity or a healthy body. Sometimes the reason and purpose of life achieved is preferred to make life more meaningful.

Unknowingly, he had already arrived in front of the nurse station ward of Soka. This morning, the nurse on duty there was Titis.

"Good morning, sir .." said Titis.

"Good morning .... Has the Nerve Doctor Visited ?" james asked the nurse, who was younger than him.

"Already, sir .." replied Titis short.

"There's a change of therapy plan for Mr Herman?" ask James again.

"Nothing, sir. It's the same as before, " replied Titis.

"All right then. I visited Mr. Herman first yeah .." said James.

"Yes, Sir. Please ...."

James walked into Mr. Herman's room. Seeing James coming, his daughter Mr. Herman greeted James kindly. But he was a little stunned to see James coming alone. "Tumben is alone, sir. Where's Crispy ma'am?" tanyakanya.

"Bu Reny is visiting another patient. Is there a problem if I visit Mr. Herman myself? If so, later in the day I will come back here again with Miss Reny, " replied James with a slightly worried tone.

Mr. Herman's daughter smiled. "No. Just the same, sir .." he said as he left James and approached his father.

"Pa .... Mr. James is coming .." he told the Father.

Mr. Herman who had been a little pensive either looked at what, turned his eyes and nodded towards James.

Yesterday night, James asked his father about topics that could excite a man in his 50s.

"They are happy to remember their experiences in the past. Something as exciting as their struggle or their success will be something. But be careful, because being able to turn around makes them worse if they compare with their current circumstances, " replied Papa Heru at that time.

And at this time, James was already preparing to bring out the moves he had learned. In a sense, he has studied Mr. Herman's background from patient data he has recorded.

"Sir, I read in status, Mr entrepreneur's job well?" james opened the conversation.

"Yes, " replied Mr. Herman short.

"What effort, sir?" ask James again.

"Hehil."

"Oh .... Textiles. How do you build your own or a family business, sir?"

"The henggiri."

"Gee .... Very good then Mr .... Can you tell me about your struggle? How can I get to the thought of opening a textile business?" ask James to fish.

Mr. Herman smiled. "Kehikanga roast iku ...."

"Oh .... Long story .... What if you want to tell a story. Who knows, it could be a science for me if one day I had to take the steering wheel, ", James said with a grin.

Mr. Herman's daughter who had been listening to the conversation became sniffling. "When, sir .... Cassian Papa, it'll be soybean. Wait for a more eloquent talk, "the rebuttal.

Mr. Herman smiled at James who blushed due to reprimanded his daughter. "Yes. Kapang aga yah ...."

James smiled, "Yes. Anytime. Now let me tell you first may well, sir? When I saw my father, I remembered my acquaintance. He's also a businessman and had a stroke too." James borrowed the incident from Mr. Adipratama.

As James began to tell the story, Mr. Herman's son went into the room to visit his father.

"At that time, his condition was worse because of the betrayal of his confidants. The person wants to take the leadership seat in the company. Fortunately my acquaintance was immediately hastily picked up and trained his heirs. By the way, Mr uda has an heir?" ask James again.

Mr. Herman nodded. "Ahak haki-haki haya."

"Oh .... Thank goodness you have an heir. Well .... Which makes my acquaintance recover quickly, the spirit to educate his heirs, sir! He did not want the company he built was taken over by the Traitor.

Mr. Herman should be too! Your son must still need your guidance in running the company. Because as far as I know, running a company is a lot of challenges, sir!"

"Yes, Pa .... Bagas still needs Papa's guidance to fight our competitors .... Quickly healed dong, Pa.." said Mr. Herman's son suddenly. James, unaware of Bagas' presence, was startled by a voice that suddenly appeared from behind him.

"Don't remember what Miss Reny said yesterday, right? The origin of the spirit of exercise and therapy, can be completely healed really, Pa!" His daughter encouraged the Father.

"Rubber! My acquaintance is almost as it was now. Though before the situation was exactly the same Mr. Herman! So ... The important thing is to be patient and stay upbeat! Must be optimistic, sir!" James added to.

Mr. Herman was stunned to see the three young people who encouraged him with excitement. He was reminded that there are still children who need it. He also has a company to look after.

"Yes. Haya akang koba, "he said with a smile and nodded his head. James and Herman's two sons smiled. They can see a determination in Mr. Herman's eyes.

On the other hand James pondered inwardly. Human life affects each other. Previously he learned the meaning of life from Farida's grandmother. Now he is sharing his experience with others, even though it is not the experience he went through directly.

James recalled a saying that stone sharpens stone, man sharpens his neighbor. Human life must both learn in order to be better.
