Sleeping Rooster
27. Conscious
Ardan woke up from his coma and saw Linda who arrived suddenly kissed his forehead. At that time Linda did not see that Ardan had awakened because she closed her eyes to kiss Ardan on the forehead.
Unexpectedly Ardan then woke up from his coma. Although according to Ardan he had woken up first before the kiss came to his forehead.
Ardan's cheeks instantly turned into a red tomato because of Linda's kiss on his forehead. Linda who also saw it, suddenly her face also changed to redden.
"Are you awake?" ask Linda.
Ardan replied with a nod as his mouth was on a ventilator.
Then Linda immediately called the doctor to check on Ardan's health. Not long after the doctor came with Mr. Herman and Bu Farda behind him.
"Where are you? Is anyone still sick?" ask the doctor about Ardan.
"There's no dock" said Ardan.
The doctor and nurse immediately acted to remove all the equipment stuck in Ardan's body.
"Sorry for the family please wait in front because the doctor is examining the patient's body" said the nurse who was walking next to the doctor.
Linda, Bu Farda and Mr. Herman immediately came out of the ICU room and waited for news from the doctor.
15 Minutes of waiting. The nurse came out carrying her equipment to be immediately returned to her place. At that time, Linda also asked the nurse.
"Suster how's Ardan doing?" ask Linda.
"Still examined first by a doctor. Wait a minute" said the nurse.
After the nurse left the two of them, the doctor walked out to inform Ardan.
"A patient's family named Ardan?" ask the doctor.
"Yes, I'm her mother" said Bu Farda, standing from her seat.
Linda turned around and immediately asked Ardan for news.
"So, how's Ardan doing?" ask Linda.
"His pain was still radiating throughout his body even more ferocious. I can't estimate Ardan's patient's life."
The pain and sadness were mixed in Linda's heart. Bu Farda could no longer stop her crying. Hearing the news that was getting worse made Bu Farda suddenly collapsed unconscious.
"Astagfirullah bu woke up" said Mr. Herman shaking his wife's body lying on the floor.
Linda also shook the body of Bu Farda. Linda immediately shouted to call the sisters to bring a gurney. The doctor immediately acted to provide first aid for patients who fainted.
Not long after, the male sisters brought a gurney. Put Bu Farda's body and took her to the ER.
"Son, please take care of Ardan for a while." pinta Pak Herman then he followed his wife who was being taken.
Linda still has no power to hold back tears for Ardan. He didn't want Ardan to see Linda crying.
Linda rubbed rough her face and tried hard in front of Ardan. Linda then entered to see a smile that was reflected from Ardan's lips when she saw a pair of beautiful eyes belonging to Linda.
"Linda." call Ardan.
Linda approached the frail body in front of her. Ardan's face looked so pale.
"Is anyone sick?" ask Linda.
"There is none." answered Ardan.
The atmosphere suddenly became silent for a moment. Ardan doesn't know where to start. While Linda thought about the words of the Doctor who diagnosed Ardan earlier.
"Aren't you pegel standing still?" asked Ardan to see Linda standing up.
Linda sat down next to Ardan. But the atmosphere again became quiet.
"same. Has the dandelion flower changed?"
"From last week. But I don't want to open my window again because I don't want the flower to fly away from me." Linda said honestly.
"Just let them fly to become new plants."
"Leave it?!! They fly in no direction even to stop by." stressed Linda refused to leave her Dandelion.
"That's the advantage of dandelion. They can grow even among shrubs." said Ardan while holding Linda's warm hand.
"I don't want to lose them. Let them stay at my house."
"Don't be selfish Linda, they're designed to fly into the middle of nowhere in search of a decent place to grow. They'll be happy in their new place and they're just weed plants."
"Although weed, I'll be ready for it."
"Linda, good listen. Weeds remain weeds, they can't be the beautiful plants you can raise."
Ardan sighed for a while and continued his words.
"Weed Plant also never desired its presence" said Ardan back until unexpectedly clear circles dripped on his own blanket.
Linda looked at the clear globules from Ardan's eyes, dripping profusely from the source. Linda hugged Ardan's already defenseless body on the bed. Strengthened himself so that his tears did not fall on Ardan's head.

It was a clear morning when the sun rose from the east side of the hospital. Reflects the light through the room with the dominance of white. To make the owner wake up exposed to the rays of the sun.
"Linda.." said Ardan woke up Linda's body who sat very long beside him.
The owner of the name awoke due to the small touch given by Ardan's warm hand.
"What do you want?" ask Linda sensitized.
"I'm gonna walk in the hospital garden."
Linda prepared a wheelchair beside him. The wheelchair has been prepared by the nurse yesterday when there is a need from the patient either to the bathroom or just walk the road.
"I don't want to use a wheelchair" Ardan denied.
Ardan extended his hand towards Linda.
"I want to be held." said Ardan.
"Is it still strong to walk?" linda asked Ardan and received a helping hand.
Ardan nodded then commented a smile towards Linda.

"Dion. Let's go to school and hunt you late!" pinta mama from behind the door of Dion's room that was open earlier.
Dion went to school. Riding his sports bike. Not long after, Dion arrived at the school gate. He parked his bike in the parking lot and immediately went in to see Linda. Linda did not enter at the time.

Don't let Linda go see Ardan right now. Inner Dion.
