With a bouquet of fruits in his hand, Adrian enters the hospital building. Jiya's condition deteriorated and her parents fled the woman to the hospital. All of his colleagues in the department had already looked, except for him. Therefore, the man came alone. It's not good to be absent to visit.
The man immediately boarded the elevator which would take him to the sixth floor, the room where Jiya was in. He chose to stand on the back, his eyes staring at the panel above the door, watching the movement of the square box object. Arriving at the sixth floor, most of the occupants of the elevator came out including him. Adrian immediately headed for the first-class room that was there. After knocking on the door, the man went inside.
Adrian's arrival is greeted kindly by Jiya's parents. Even Jiya who was lying down to straighten her body. The woman's face looks bright when she sees the man she likes coming to visit.
“Assalamu’alaikum.”
“Waalaikumsalam,” replied Jiya and her mother replied simultaneously.
“Sorry, just visited. How is Jiya's bu doing?” Adrian handed the bouquet in his hand to Jiya's mother.
“Alhamdulillah has gone quiet. If the situation is good, In Shaa Allah the day after tomorrow can go home.”
“Alhamdulillah.”
“Monday children have started UAS yes, sir?”
“Iya. It's better that Jiya's just rest. Let the new semester conditions are completely fit.”
Dahlia, the mother of Jiya just looked at the interaction of the child with the man of her tribe with sparkling eyes. The arrival of an Adrian turned out to have a great influence on his youngest daughter. Jiya's originally grim face, shone again as soon as the man came.
“Mama out for a minute, yes. You guys just continue talking.”
Without being told, the middle-aged woman took the initiative to get out of her child's nursery. He wanted to give the princess some time to get closer to Adrian. After his death, the two men continued the conversation. Occasionally, Jiya laughs in response to Adrian's words. I don't know what's funny, it feels like Adrian is not joking, even the man's face looks ordinary.
“I'm sorry, ma'am Jiya. Hopefully we can go home soon.”
Adrian decided to go home soon after almost half an hour in this first-class treatment room. Dahlia also still did not return, and made the man uneasy. Although heavy, Jiya assented when Adrian said goodbye.
“Eh nak Adrian where to go?” ask Dahlia who came into the room.
“I go home first, ma'am. There are still other jobs.”
“Thank you yes, already want to visit Jiya.”
“Iya, mom. Equally.”
Nodding his head, Adrian walked out of the room. He immediately got on the elevator which happened to have the door open. It didn't take long for him to get to the ground floor. While walking out, his eyes accidentally saw Nenden sitting in line at the hospital dispensary. After making sure the woman was the true mother of the Goddess, Adrian approached her.
“Bu Nenden,” saya Adrian. Nenden slightly jolted because he was daydreaming. His head turned to the right.
“Eh with Rian.”
“Mother hurts?”
Adrian sat down next to Nenden. For a moment the woman was just speechless, she also looked nervous. Adrian continued to look at Nenden who was still silent. The woman crumpled her fingers, like she was covering her nervousness.
“Bu.”
“I. yes. There's a little problem with the mother's stomach. So I had to go to the hospital.”
“Who's mom is here with?”
“Tadi escorted Salim, his son Pak Haji Soleh. But now he's home because there's an urgent job.”
Hearing Nenden's explanation, Adrian took his phone and told Ikmal that he would be late, because he was still taking care of other things. The man chose to accompany Nenden until he finished taking the medicine and planned to drive home.
After waiting for almost twenty minutes, finally the voice of the apothecary called out to Nenden. The woman immediately stood up and walked towards the counter. From where he sat, Adrian saw there were quite a lot of drugs that had to be consumed by Nenden. The man stood up and walked over, trying to steal what the pharmacist had said.
“If the medicine is up, do not forget to check up yes, ma'am. Or if suddenly the mother's stomach hurts, do not wait long, just come to IGD,” said the pharmacist.
“Iya, sus.”
“Hopefully heal fast.”
“Thank you.”
As he turned his body, Nenden was surprised to see Adrian already standing nearby. That woman looks so clumsy.
“Nak Adrian has not come home?”
“I'll be waiting for mom. Let's go, I'll take you home.”
“Eh, no need. Let mom take a taxi online aja.”
“I no longer have work, ma'am. Let's.”
Nenden had no choice but to follow Adrian's steps. The man didn't seem to want to be denied either. The two walked out of the hospital and headed straight for the parking lot. Adrian invites Nenden to enter first. After closing the door, Adrian rushed up and sat behind the wheel.
“Mother... actually hurts what?” Adrian opened the conversation.
“Sorry mom if I'm presumptuous. But it looks like the mother's illness is quite severe. I saw a lot of drugs that my mother had to take. Does Dewi know about this?” Adrian asked again because Nenden never answered.
Hearing his son's name being mentioned, Nenden turned his head to Adrian. The woman lowered her head. It's been two months since he went back and forth to the hospital, and it was done without the Goddess's knowledge. Sometimes Salim escorted her on the orders of Ratna's mother, sometimes she went by herself.
At first Nenden only thought that the pain in his stomach was just a common stomach disease. She has had an ulcer since she was a teenager. But the longer the pain gets worse and eventually choose to check up. It turns out that the results of the USG are known if there is a tumor-like lump in the stomach. Doctors had already suggested surgery, but due to cost considerations, Nenden chose to undergo outpatient treatment only.
“Doctor says, there is a tumor-like lump in the stomach.”
“Astaghfirullah. continue how bu? What should be operated?”
“Iya. but honestly I'm not ready. Hence the mother chose to go for road treatment first.”
“What Goddess already knows?”
“But.”
Adrian did not say anything else, he drove his vehicle and then turned to enter the Sundanese restaurant. Nenden who did not know Adrian's intent could only come down when the man asked him to come down. They went into the restaurant and took a seat at an empty table.
“Nak Rian want to eat?”
“I happen to want to buy food for friends in the office,” Adrian said.
The man waved his hand at the waiter and ordered four rice boxes complete with side dishes. He also asked for grilled chicken and pepes of fish to take home.
“What should not the Goddess be told, ma'am?”
“What's the problem?”
“Disease mother.”
“Mom just doesn't want her to think.”
“If from the mother's side, it might be true that mother did. But try to think of the Goddess side. She must be disappointed that mom covered up the truth from her. Now only the mother he has, do not let him regret for not knowing about the mother's illness.”
“Come, son Rian.”
“If I may propose, it is better that the Goddess be informed. With the mother story to the Goddess, the burden of the mother will also be slightly reduced. Dewi can also help mother and learn more independently in the future.”
“Thank you, son Rian. I'll think about.”
Their conversation stalled when the waiter delivered Adrian's order of food. After paying for his order, the two left the restaurant. Adrian immediately drove Nenden to his house. Not forgetting he gave grilled chicken and pepes the fish order earlier.
“This is for mom and Goddess.”
“Yes Allah, son Rian. Don't bother.”
“Ngga bother, mom. Surely mom hasn't cooked yet, please just take it, ma'am.”
“Thank you, son Rian. Assalamu’alaikum.”
“Waalaikumsalam.”
Nenden got out of the car and walked towards his house. For a moment Adrian still has not run his vehicle. The man continued to watch Nenden from behind his wheel. After that he turned his vehicle back, leaving the contract of Haji Soleh.
🌸🌸🌸
“Bu, the fish pepes are delicious. Where do you buy?”
“Tadi Rian who bought, at Sunda restaurant.”
“Rian? You mean Mr Rian?”
“Iya. I met you at the hospital.”
“Hospital? Why did Mr Rian go to the hospital?”
“Where mom knows. I don't see it either.”
“Keep momwhy at the hospital? Mommy sick? What pain?”
Nenden sighed at her hearing the barrage of questions from her only daughter. He looked at the Goddess who was still eating her food voraciously. His hand moved rubbing the top of his son's head.
“Eat first the right one. Mom will tell me. Eat a lot, let your body not thin.”
“Ish mom, seneng ya see me body is rich ball.”
“The important Adit still love you,” god Nenden, make the face of the Goddess blush.
After washing all the empty tableware. Nenden invited Dewi to sit together in the middle room. After careful consideration of his conversation with Adrian earlier, Nenden chose to be frank with the Goddess. He also did not want to make his son anxious and feel guilty.
“Neng.. I want a story, but do not cut it first, yes.”
“Iya, bu.”
Nenden took out the medicines he had received from the pharmacist. The goddess was surprised to see it all, but refrained from asking. He waited for Nenden's explanation first. Although severe, Nenden finally told about the disease he suffered the last two months. According to the doctor, the lump has been around for a long time but he was not aware of it. Eventually it grows and needs surgery.
“Yes God, mom. Why new story now to Dewi.”
The goddess hugged her mother while crying. It turns out that for the past two months, Nenden kept his own pain. He is also rarely at home because of the busyness of college. The girl has also applied to SMEs and started participating in activities in the student activity unit.
“Sorry mom, neng. At first I wanted to keep this to myself. But I realize you deserve to know. Sorry mom.”
“Doctor said what, ma'am? Mommy needs surgery?”
“Iya.”
“When will mom be operated?”
“Mother won't be copied.”
“Why, mom?”
“You know, the cost is very expensive.”
“Isn't there still savings from dad? Keep money from his papa Riska, instead of mom still saving it?”
“That's for your college fee, neng.”
“Just use it, ma'am. I'm willing to drop out of college that matters mom's healed. Just wear it, mom!”
The goddess screamed hysterically, disappointed to hear the mother's reply. Nenden embraced the Goddess to calm her down. For a while the woman hugged her still crying child. Before long he broke his embrace, his hands rubbing the tears that wet his daughter's cheeks.
“Do not cry, cry. Mom's nothin. The doctor said it could still be treated. If mom is not strong, then mom will operate.”
“Cruth, mom?”
“Iya, neng. Don't be sad. You'll be testing soon. Don't think mom, In Shea Allah mom will be all right.”
The goddess hugged her mother. He was afraid of being abandoned by the people he loved. When Herman left, there was the mother who accompanied and strengthened him. But what if her mother also followed her father away. His world will be completely destroyed.
🌸🌸🌸
The last day's exam is over. All of Dewi's classmates cheered in excitement, as they were going to be off college for quite some time. About the final value of surrender only, the important thing is not nasakom. The goddess tidied up her stationery, then walked away from the class.
The girl walked with her head down. He stopped when someone was blocking his way. His head lifted and looked at Adrian who was standing in front of him. Dewi intends to pass the man, but Adrian again blocks his steps.
“Sorry, sir. I want to pass,” said Dewi slowly.
“Can we talk?”
“Sorry, sir. I'm not in the same mood fighting mr.”
Regardless of Adrian's invitation, Dewi soon passed the man. Seeing the Goddess who continued to walk, Adrian also immediately followed. When passing through a fairly quiet corridor, Adrian pulled the hand of the Goddess. The girl tries to rebel, but Adrian's grip is stronger than his strength. Finally he could only resign when Adrian took him to the back garden of the ISIP faculty building.
“Bapak why did you come here?” The goddess broke free from Adrian's hand.
“Your mother.. how is your mother?”
“Mother? Mom is fine. What's with mom?”
“Really?”
Adrian's eyes squeaked, trying to find the truth of the girl's answer. Seeing Adrian's gaze, Dewi realized that the man knew Nenden's condition. In his heart was disappointed, why Adrian knew first than he did.
“Mother is fine. Even if you're sick, I'll take care of you. I don't want to care and don't bother taking care of my life as well mom.”
“I know you hate me. Can you get rid of that feeling now? Your mother's health is much more important.”
Adrian paused his speech. He opened his briefcase and took a brochure out of it. He presented the brochure to the Goddess. It was a hospital brochure run by the Insan Kamil foundation. In the hospital provided treatment for patients who are less able. If the patient has to perform a major surgery, it will only cost 50.
“This.. give it to your mother. If your mother pleases, move to this hospital. Who knows if there is another solution. The hospital is also good and receives referrals from outside the area. You may ignore me, but not your mother.”
Adrian pulled the hand of the Goddess and put the brochure into the hands of the girl. After he immediately left. The goddess looked at and read the brochure in her hands carefully. If Adrian says that the cost of a major surgery will be borne 50% by the hospital, then he will propose to Nenden to move the hospital only.
While continuing to read the brochure in her hand, Dewi walked out of the faculty building. The hospital is quite large and famous, he also knows about the hospital. The goddess was more and more convinced to bring her mother there.
“De..”
The goddess was shocked to hear a voice calling out to her. Aditya was standing nearby. The young man did say he would pick her up this afternoon, as usual, on Thursday, Aditya had a day off work.
“Again read what? Seriously amat?”
“This.”
Aditya's hand outstretched taking the brochure in the hand of the Goddess. He read for a moment what was on there. His forehead frowned, what did the Goddess mean to read this brochure.
“What's with the brochure? Are you sick?”
“Not me.”
“To whom?”
“Mother.”
“Mother? What pain mom?”
There was no response from the goddess. The girl was just silently silent with her eyes looking forward. Aditya pulls the hand of the Goddess and takes her to the cafeteria. After ordering a drink, he again sat opposite the Goddess.
“What pain mom, De?”
“There is a tumor in his stomach.”
“Astaghfirullah.. How to go? Mommy needs surgery?”
“Iya, Dit. But mother does not want, he said it costs a lot and savings for my college, hiks. hiks..”.
The goddess could not help her crying. For ten days he kept thinking about his mother's illness. Not infrequently he also persuaded Nenden to immediately operate, but the woman was unmoved.
“Certain this what?” Aditya pointed at the brochure on the table.
“So this loving Mr. Rian. He said here underprivileged patients can undergo surgery at a cost of 50%.”
“Why not try? What are the conditions?”
Aditya took the brochure again and read it carefully. The submission requirements are the same as the submission of aid funds in general. There is a certificate of RT and RW that justifies that the person concerned is lacking or unable. Plus the patient's history of the disease from the previous hospital and some other conditions for the benefit of administration.
“Try you obrolin same mom. I know if there is a tumor that must be removed, there is no need, can use drugs. But if the doctor has been appointed, it means it must be removed. About the cost, later we can think together. How much is the operating cost?”
“Mother's word is about 30 to 40 million. It was just surgery, not yet the cost of treatment, the same drug tests before surgery. If there is an operation, only for others less power. Not to mention I thought about my college.”
“We tried this hospital. Good if it can be cut 50%.”
“Yes, you helped me say yes, Dit.”
“Quiet aja. I'll help you talk to Mom. How much money is in the ATM?”
“If my salary is from Mr. Rian, there are still 8 millions.”
“How much am I? Ever since I got home, I haven't spent a lot of money. Everyday I also use the honor from nge-band.”
“If nothing wrong there are about 20 millions.”
“If the money in the mother runs out for medical expenses, for college can use our savings.”
“But Dit.”
“What? Not delicious? Don't think about it. I told you, the money is for your benefit. So do not argue, make college use of the money. The important thing for next year is to pay for college. In the future we can kumpulin again.”
Aditya damaged the top of the Goddess' head while raising a smile. There are no words that can be said from the Goddess, her throat seemed choked to hear everything Aditya said. His eyes warmed up and slowly a clear circle descended over his cheeks.
“Don't cry, De. finish the drink. That Abis we're home. We persuade mom.”
“Iya. Thanks, Dit,” watered goddess.
