In the hospital...
The man with a face full of bruises and fresh blood left in his clothes seemed to be pacing around near one of the curtains as a barrier to several beds in the IGD room.
He himself was actually asked to rest after getting light treatment, but realized the situation was not okay. Of course Making Ilyas no sense of calm even just sitting on his bed.
Before this he knew, the first person to be persecuted had been pronounced dead on the spot. Aaron himself is unclear. He hopes Aaron will be fine after getting serious treatment.
From where he stood he still saw nurses pacing back and forth carrying the necessary medical equipment. In addition, there was tension on their faces while whispering something with medical terms that he did not understand at all.
"Mas Ilyas!" A teenage boy approached her with a panicked look.
"Ibn, who are you here with?" He asked while looking at the back of his sister's flattened body.
"Himself, Mas. Abas I told her to stay home. But you're not papa yourself, are you?" Ask.
"Mas, no papa. Just, temen Mas." The man stared at Aaron, lying down.
"Pray for me, Mas. May A' Aaron be well." Ibn tried to calm his eldest brother. The man next to her simply nodded while praying in her mind.
Oh God, help Aaron. Please save Aaron, O God...
Ibn persuaded him to return to Ilyas' bed. The one on Aaron's right side. The voices of the medics and tools were heard. As for Ilyas incessantly echoed the prayer of salvation for Aaron.
There were not ten minutes from the time of Ibn's arrival. Qonni and the rest of Aaron's family have now arrived at the hospital. Because the position of Ilyas is at the very end close to the glass wall that can see out even though it is partially covered with glass with a dew effect. He could see a glimpse of a woman who was looking at the IGD door. Ilyas was quick to ask permission to come out to one of the nurses.
Although it was banned because the condition of Ilyas himself has not recovered. The man with the slightly cracked glasses insisted on seeing Aaron's family.
Ilyas walked slowly while holding his stomach which was still painful due to the beating earlier. With Ibn by his side.
"Assalamualaikum, Miss Nyai, Gus Mukhlis..." Aaron kissed the back of Aaron's brother's hand and cupped his palms to Aaron's mother and Qonni. When he set his eyes on Qonni for a moment, Ilyas was unable to hide the look of guilt on his friend's wife.
"Mas Ilyas! Where's Aaron?" Ask Qonni. The two neutrals are already scattered towards the glass door that says IGD.
"Di– inside, Yu."
"My husband's fine, isn't he?" Ask expectantly. Because he saw Ilyas bruised but the man could still stand. He hoped that Aaron would be at least the same.
Ilyas himself was unable to answer he just shook his head slowly. "I don't know..," she later wrote.
"What's really going on, son Ilyas?" Ask the old woman next to Qonni and Aaron's older brother.
"What about Aaron?" Aaron's brother asked.
"As I said, Gus. I don't know it myself. You see, when I got here, Aaron's condition was pretty bad. His head was leaking from a glass bottle three times."
"Astaghfirullah al'azim..." Qonni was sobbing more and more, his steps slowly approaching the glass door of the IGD room. "A'a..."
From her standing position, she could only see her husband's feet. Because part of his body was covered in green curtains.
Nyai Nur's mom looked weak. His condition is not so healthy, was suddenly dropped so it must be papah to a long chair.
"We just pray, I hope everything's okay." Ilya. As for Qonni can only rub his stomach that feels uncomfortable while hoping to the Creator. So that her husband is given a chance to live and be able to see his future children born into this world.
Not long after, a male nurse came out asking one of the representatives to face the Doctor who was handling Aaron's condition. After deliberating for a while, it was decided Gus Mukhlis was facing.
A few minutes of talking, the man came out with a beristighfar. His body looks hollow but he is still trying hard.
On the other hand, Qonni who was impatient to hear the condition of her husband immediately got up and approached his sister-in-law.
"Where, Gus?" Ask Qonni. "What did he say, Doctor?"
"I was just called to see the final condition. Aaron was going to be operated on because the blood vessels in his head broke. But God says something else. Just wanted to sign the agreement, Aaron is not strong."
The deg! Qonni's heart stopped beating. If he can he does not want to hear it if it means bad. He just wanted to, see Aaron's smile again, and hear his voice. Not the other one.
The man let out a long sigh, holding back the tears that he had so many times wiped before flowing down to the cheeks.
"What do you mean, son?" Ask Bu Nyai Nur while stroking the chest.
"Harun just got home, after A'a tried talkingin' him a minute ago, Mi." Gus Mukhlis hugged his mother.
"Innalilahi wa Inna ilaihi Raji..." Ilyas and Ibn muttered almost simultaneously. The two spectacled men blinked with tears at the same time.
His statement made Bu Nyai Nur limp in the arms of his eldest son. Crying while saying Istighfar.
"A' Aaron..." Qonni who still did not believe what he heard was just stunned. Before long, his body began to collapse. His sight was blurred. The woman fell unconscious.
"Just.. astaghfirullah al'azim!" The back of Gus Mukhlis was increasingly shaken because the two women who came with him suddenly unconscious to be helped by several people including Ilyas and Ibn.
