Tama And Ratna

67. Trapped

Ratna that morning was quite busy pacing back and forth. Some time ago he was told that he was sick and needed surgery to recover. Father also finally brought to Jogja by Ratna and he took care of himself. Yesterday Ratna and Tama cleaned the next room. Luckily their house has been repaired and has been occupied by Tama and Ratna since a week ago. At least the house is clean and tidy. Ratna only needs to arrange a place so that you can rest comfortably during treatment in Jogja.

"Don't you really want anther?" tanya Tama by phone.

"Truly Mas, he said you also want to go to Kaliurang ngurus latgab," replied Ratna.

"But you're just riding a bike. Here to the car rental office," refer Tama again.

"No need Mas, do not hunt if the tukeran first. I'll be in the operating room at 11. I just want an oxygen nuker to buy a tensimeter. Not bring it myself, I ask for help sent directly to the house," Ratna said.

"Jude, be careful, Mother."

"Yes dad," replied Ratna before closing the call as she had already reached the parking lot.

Ratna was heading to the place she was aiming at at the moderate speed of the vehicle. He still had time to hum even though the condition of the road was very jammed this morning. Plus the cloudy conditions make the riders seem rushed to get to the destination before it rains.

"Please, can I help you?" greet the guard officer.

Ratna just mentioned everything she needed to buy. After selecting and confirming the address correctly, Ratna took out her wallet to withdraw the debit card to complete the transaction. Ratna was waiting for her shopping note to be printed when she heard a commotion from outside. Ratna tried to hold back her curiosity and hoped to leave soon, but apparently she was caught in the middle of the riots. The shop security even banned him from going out because the period was getting out of control and was trying to be pacified by the police who had just arrived.

Ratna was still trying to patiently wait for the condition to be controlled, but instead of easing the time more and more came and some he saw already grasping blunt objects and throwing each other. The shop where Ratna was in had her glass broken.

Soon he saw Brimob's Baraccuda coming. Ratna was getting more worried. If until Brimob intervenes like this, it means that the unrest outside is not just any riot. It really is serious. Even Vario's motorbike which Ratna parked in front of the shop was lying helpless because it was a victim of the anger of many people. Shortly thereafter, Ratna gets a call from Dipta who starts looking for her whereabouts. It's almost 11 and he's still here stuck for sometime.

"Rat, where are you?"

"See the news. I got caught in the middle of a riot. I'm just trying to get out" Ratna said.

"Soon Rat. Can you ask the police to escort you out safely? The patient needs you here" replied Dipta.

"Back up first. I went straight to the operating room" Ratna said, turning off the phone.

"Sir, I'm sorry I have to get out of here right away" Ratna told a police officer standing guard nearby.

"Sorry Mom, it's not safe outside. If you're out now, it's dangerous" he said.

"Mother Aji? Oh, my God, I'm here?" ask Bayu who turns out to be near them.

"Mas Bayu, can I ask for help to be escorted out? Anybody, as long as I can go back to the hospital now. I have patients" Ratna told Bayu, whom she knew as Tama's subordinate.

"Wow, Mom, I'll have commander Aji's permission first. If there's nothing with Mom how? Can be spanked me later," said Bayu.

"I am responsible. You're secure. If until your commander dares to punish you I punish him back," said Ratna made Bayu who had been hesitant began to install a row to bring Ratna out.

With the help of several policemen on guard Ratna finally managed to get out of the location safely and was heading to the hospital escorted by a patrol car. Ratna had wanted to order an ojek online only, but apparently the rioters were the drivers of the online ojek so Bayu forbade his commander's wife to ride an online motorcycle taxi and chose to drive him in a car.

"Thank you Mas Bayu, congratulations," said Ratna who immediately ran into the hospital as soon as the car that drove her to the court.

Ratna ran to her room to first change clothes and then headed to the operating room. 5 minutes ago Dipta again gave news that the patient had entered the room and was ready to be drugged. Ratna arrived there, just as the patient was ready. After making sure the patient's condition is fine and studying the latest CT results, he immediately asked for a scalpel and began to carry out his duties.3 hours struggling with his work Ratna finally can rest even if not completely. For the next 2 hours he still has to monitor the development of patients who have just been dissected by him.

...***...

Tama that afternoon had just returned to the office after hearing news of the riots. He was still ordinary at first. When many members are resting in the field after completion of duty, the, he still had time to say hello with a smile and congratulations for completing it well but when he saw a cringed motorcycle next to the official car parked next to the field a smile on his face instantly disappeared.

"Anu Ndan permission to report. It was Mom's bike but she survived without any injuries. It is safe in the hospital. Eh.., I mean in a working hospital, not being a patient," Bayu said with a little stammering.

"Oh my God, how can you be rich? Mommy's a victim?" ask Tama.

"Yes Ndan, when the riots began when Mom was still in the medical device store earlier. But Commander Aji don't worry, I'm fine, I brought you to the hospital myself" Bayu said.

"Yes, thank you" said Tama, who then pulled the phone out of her pocket.

"So Mom said there was an emergency patient, sorry and if you didn't pick up things when you were busy" said Bayu.

"Came up" said Tama, smiling again.

Tama just wanted to make sure if Ratna was okay. After that he turned off the phone and returned to duty, "Bay, this is my motorcycle please bring it to the workshop yes the goods can still be repaired. If not," said Tama before leaving.

"Ready. Execute the Commander" replied Bayu.
