The next day around nine in the morning, I also left for Kawah Putih. But just as the car was about to go to the body of the road, HP rang loudly and plastered Mama's name there. I also pulled over for a while because it was impossible to answer Mama's phone while driving.
“Halo Ma, what's up?”
“Where are you?” His voice sounded a little anxious.
“I'm on Ma's way. Why?”
“You can go home for a minute? Papa suddenly fell unconscious at breakfast. You go straight to the hospital. Papa is still in doctor's care.”
“Iya Ma. Mama don't have to panic and worry yes, I'll be there soon.”
My voice followed anxiously at the news that Papa had suddenly fainted at breakfast. Lest Papa's heart relapse, if it happens it may be Papa's heart is cause for concern. That time also had complained of pain but he insisted on not going to the doctor and chose to rest for a while. I'm sure Mama doesn't know this, because Papa asked me to keep it a secret to Mama. Aw, Papa...
I turned the bow, all the goals I had planned suddenly collapsed. Maybe it's time for me to go home and take care of the elderly, especially now that Papa seems to need extra attention. It was fortunate that the road this morning was not jammed so I could waltz smoothly on this great road. Bandung this morning is still cold.
About an hour's drive, I got to the hospital. After parking the car I immediately met Mama in the ER. I can make sure Mama's anxious and she'll need my presence very soon. It was not difficult to find Mama, I saw her sitting in the waiting room with her head up and closed while her lips were busy as if she were praying.
“Mama..”
I hugged her and tried to calm her down.
“Papa how Ma?”
“Still inside, it's been half an hour Papa's there.”
“We pray for the healing of Papa yes Ma.”
Not long after my arrival, a doctor came out of the ER room and called Mama to inform her of Papa's condition. Mama and I took the doctor seriously.
“Your husband has a heart attack, thankfully I was quick to take him to the hospital. If it can't be fatal. If you may know how many times you fainted like this, or maybe complain on the chest?”
“In case of new fainting this time doc, I also never saw him complain with his chest or anything like that.”
“Sorry Doc, actually Papa has complained several times about his chest. Papa also knows that he actually has heart disease. It's just that Papa asked me not to tell Mama because Mama would be worried.” I had to interrupt their conversation. I have to be honest, I don't want anything else to happen to Papa. Especially Mama, she should know.
“Riana..” Mama looked at me as if in disbelief and demanded further explanation.
“Maafin Riana Ma, but Papa asks Riana not to tell Mama because Papa is afraid Mama is worried about her health.”
“After all you can't hide this same Mama. If Papa why-why how Riana?”
“Already Mom, it's better for Mom to meet Mom's husband inside. He was conscious and waiting for Mom. I would also like to excuse you for a moment to go back to the room and write a recipe for Mr.”
“Good Doc, thank you very much for the help.” My answer. While Mama has entered first to the ER room.
I kept quiet for a while and gathered my breath for a moment. It'll be long, Mama will definitely sue Papa with questions.
When I went inside, I saw Mama and Papa were having a serious conversation about Papa's heart disease.
“Obviously worry Papa, you are my husband and I don't want any fatal things to happen. Try if Papa again in the office keeps Papa's heart suddenly relapsed?”
“Yes, yes Maafin Papa.” Papa kisses Mama's fingers gently.
I envy seeing them in such a small storm, their romance does make anyone envious. Papa is the least anxious to make Mama worry and Mama is the one who is most afraid of losing Papa. It's only natural that they take care of each other.
“I envy you two.” My word.
“Iri why?” Ask Papa to investigate.
“Daddy, envious to see Papa with Mama again like this. Papa same Mama storm but still looks romantic.”
“Means you are looking for a companion there. Let you know how romantic it feels. Haha..”
Mama pinched Papa's arm that was teasing me.
“You want Papa to know Papa's friend's son?”
“Nggak ah, meningan Papa focus on health only. I don't want Papa to get sick.”
“Ma, look at our son. If you are talking about a soul mate, he is good at shifting the atmosphere.”
“Same to Papa.” Reply Mama Jutek which then causes laughter among the three of us.
Sometimes being with your family is more important than anything else. I learned one thing, that the hurt we feel will be less when we can share it with family. Without telling our problems, in the end we will be entertained by their presence so that the burden on the problem is reduced even though not completely.
Papa is not so hospitalized, only given a few prescription drugs to be taken regularly. That afternoon we also went home with a heart that was no longer anxious, Papa's condition had improved and could joke back. All the way home, Papa always teased me about a mate. They know my relationship with Tefan is not going well, and it will never be good. Therefore they tried to make me forget everything that Tefan was concerned about.
Arriving home, they were a little surprised to see me unloading my suitcase from the trunk of the car.
“Loh Riana why carry a suitcase all?” Ask Mama.
“You stay here aja Ma. I do not feel at home in the apartment, deserted.”
“That's good. Let Mama also not lonely at home, usually just chat with Aunty now can chat with you then.”
“Iya Ma.”
“So the decision has been taken?” Papa asked.
“Iya Pa's. Because Papa seems to need my attention, therefore I prefer to take care of Papa alone rather than work. Hehe..”.
“Huu. Then you must really take care of Papa with Mama ya.”
“Any commander.”
They both just laughed. The most meaningful parents in my life, they are the most precious and second to none. Fortunately, I was born in their midst.
