The Angel of Wounds
Chapter 143
Tok, tock, tock
The sound of knocking on the door was heard several times. Who's meeting at this hour? The clock is almost finished, only twenty minutes left.
"A little while, dear." Hasna just nodded.
Rama quickly moved and opened the door.
"Assalamu'alaikum."
"Wa'alaikumussalam's chat. Kevin?" Rama scanned the surroundings.
"Who are you looking for?" Kevin followed Rama's gaze.
"Only?"
"Yes, I just happened to have a job out of town. Because it's unidirectional, I decided to stop by for a while." Said Kevin.
"Yes, you're right. You're only here for a moment. Because the clock will be over soon." Rama. Kevin glanced at the clock on his wrist.
"Yes, it seems so." Chuckles Kevin.
"Yes, come in." Rama shifted his position slightly so Kevin could enter.
"What's Hasna's condition? Are there any signs that he'll be conscious?" Kevin asked Rama who closed the door.
"Alhamdulillah, Hasna is conscious."
"really?" Kevin turned to Hasna's bed, and sure enough, the woman was sitting leaning on the bed that was slightly elevated in position from the back to the head.
"Since when?" Kevin looked back at Rama.
"From a week ago."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"Sorry, we completely forgot." Rama.
"Assalamu'alaikum, Hasna." Said Kevin who walked closer towards the bed occupied by Hasna.
"Wa'alaikumussalam, Mas...Kevin's." Saying Hasna who looked towards Kevin also Rama alternated.
Hasna was a little surprised by Kevin's arrival. Moreover, the man looks familiar with her husband. He even thought that the one who came was Ivan.
"Honey, when you had an accident yesterday, we had a panic because the blood stock in the hospital was thinning. And thank God Kevin is willing to donate his blood for you. We were really shocked, because suddenly there was a stranger who willingly donated his blood. But it turns out you're friends. You're lucky to have a friend as good as him." Rama patted Kevin on the shoulder several times.
A fella? So then? Hasna forced her smile.
"Thank you." Hasna.
"Together, Hasna." Kevin smiled warmly at Hasna.
"Oh yeah, how are you?" Ask Kevin.
"Thank God, it's better." Hasna.
"Then my nephew?" Hasna turned to Rama who was standing next to her.
"Thank God, he's good too." Answer Hasna.
"Our son is a strong son, as tough as his mother." Rama rubbed the top of Hasna's head gently.
Kevin can see how Rama treated Hasna. That look, it looks so adoring, it looks so loving.
"Ehemmm...did you forget there was someone else here?" Said Kevin.
"Sorry, we often forget." Kekeh Rama's.
"Hurry to get married, so you can enjoy the beauty of dating your beloved wife. Without sin, full of reward. Like the two of us." Rama.
"Yes, yeah, yeah." Kevin rolled his eyeballs lazily hearing Rama's teasing. If only he knew.
Tok, tock, tock
"There's another guest like her." Said Kevin.
"No, it looks like a doctor's visit. A moment."
Rama went to open the door.
"I'm glad to see you're back to health." Said Kevin.
"Thank you."
"Good night, Miss Hasna." Greet Doctor.
"How is Miss Hasna doing?" Ask Doctor.
"Thank God, it's better, Doc." Hasna let the nurse check her blood pressure.
"Is it still feeling dizzy?"
"Thank God, it's been reduced, Doc. Not as I realized at the beginning."
The doctor nodded his head hearing Hasna's reply. Check the condition of the woman.
Rama invites Ivan to sit on the sofa, so that the Doctor is more free to examine Hasna's wounds.
"Sus, please just close the curtain." Pinta Rama before taking Kevin away from Hasna.
"Good, sir." The nurse closed the curtains that encircled Hasna's bed.
The doctor and nurse who treated Hasna since she entered the hospital, knew how Rama treated his wife. Even they still remember when Rama asked for a cloth to cover the head of his wife post-surgery. And now, the same thing he did when there was a male guest in the room.
"Why is it closed?" Ask Kevin plainly.
"Luka Hasna is in the head, so the doctor will examine the head. The headgear will be opened automatically."
"Then?"
"Raw." Rama answered briefly.
"But the doctor is a man."
"There may in certain circumstances open the aurat for treatment, but taking into account the limits allowed by religion. Not just open it. Only show the part that has the wound, and not other than that." Obviously Rama.
"Then during the operation yesterday?" Ask Kevin in curiosity.
"At that time we gave up where the help of Allah came from. And it turns out, the doctor who handled Hasna was a male doctor. Ye know? Post-surgery and as Hasna was about to be moved around, I asked for a cover cloth to cover up Hasna's head before her cage was pushed out of the operating room." Rama smiled remembering the incident. Where all who were with him were astonished by his request.
"How could you still think that?" Wonder Kevin. Strangely enough, at such a crucial time, Rama asked for things that sounded ridiculous.
"Hasna my wife, her life is my responsibility. Including aurat. All will be my responsibility before God." Answer Rama.
Kevin was silent, speechless. Perhaps this is what made Hasna fall in love with Rama. His understanding of religion was far above him. Perhaps if they exchanged positions, he would not think that far. And would not a woman as strong as Hasna prefer to find such a partner?
"Would Hasna prefer you?" Muttered Kevin.
"How's it?" Rama asked who heard Kevin's vague speech, though not so clear.
"Eee.: that is, your understanding of religion is extraordinary." Kevin shifted Rama's focus. Rama smiled and shook his head to hear it.
"No, you're wrong. I'm also a layman like most guys out there. Know courting, hugging, kissing, and things young couples do in general. But because of Hasna, I became a better man than I was before. Honestly, I'm not as calm as you thought. I just learned to fix my bad self in the past. And that's all, thanks to Hasna. My wife." Unknowingly, the words of Rama who praised his wife made Kevin feel like a stupid man. Don't move faster to get a girl like Hasna.
Soon Kevin threw away those thoughts. Hasna has found her soul mate. Moreover, the woman was very happy with a man like Rama. Now it was enough for him to expect, there would be a special woman whom God had prepared for him. Who will be the soul mate of the afterlife.
Before long, the curtains were pushed back by the nurse. The examination session was over.
"How, Doc?" Rama asked as the doctor finished examining Hasna.
"Alhamdulillah, everything is fine. The wound also dried up. The stitches are no problem either. It looks like Bu Hasna's healing process will be faster. Your wife's spirit is amazing to heal Mr. Rama." Doctor's talk.
The smile was engraved perfectly, not only on Rama's face, but also Kevin.
"Thank you very much, Doctor." Rama.
"Together, Mr. Rama. It's not just us, the medics. But also thanks to the support of the family is also the incredible spirit of Bu Hasna." Doctor's talk.
"Oh yeah, Miss Hasna's better get some rest." The doctor smiled at Rama and Kevin. The two men looked at each other.
"All right, Doc."
"I'm sorry." The doctor and nurse came out of Hasna's room.
"Haaahhh.I'd better go home, before the security of the hospital drags me forcibly and throws me out of here." Kevin said that made Rama laugh.
"Yes, it's better that way, because I also want to immediately accompany my wife to rest." Rama.
"All right, I'm saying goodbye." Kevin said, the man approached Hasna.
"Hasna, I'm saying goodbye. May it heal quickly. Assalamu'alaikum."
"Wa'alaikumussalam."
Rama takes Kevin to the elevator, then back to his wife's room.
