However, at the age of Erik who had passed the number seventy, he could not be as deft as before. Checking his daughter's condition must be done repeatedly to get accurate results.
“Please provide the best room here!” he made sure again. If the hospital actually gave Naura the best facilities, her hand would have the stethoscope slung against her neck, without looking at the doctor who had examined her.
The doctor just looked in wonder at Erik, asking inwardly, why did the gift stethoscope from her husband not return it? His mind was busy remembering, who this man in front of him was because he felt he had met the old man.
“Two rooms!” Erik again made a sound to make the female doctor who had pulled the door handle, undo his steps to get out of the ER room.
“There's more, Sir?” the doctor asked, with a slightly bent face.
“Two rooms, the best!” erik insisted, now just staring at the woman's doctor. The faint smile he gave when he realized the doctor younger than him looked annoyed.
The woman then completely walked out of the ER room, after Erik had invited her out of the room.
Early in the morning, Erik stared fixedly at the face of his daughter, who was sleeping. The corner of his lips was pulled to the side, with the index finger slashing his daughter's nose, intending to wake her up. But, there would be no way the woman would wake up, Naura was under the control of a sedative.
Naura's legs were exposed to sulfuric acid aka hard water has been treated. Leave his wrists and legs that still look red due to the rope that tied him yesterday. Erik touched that wrist. Speak in your heart, will reply in kind to people who have done it. Just like what Naura had experienced right now.
Just as the dawn prayer rang Naura was moved to the treatment room, Erik always accompanied his daughter. While Abhi is still in the operating room, doctors are still trying to lift the bullet that entered the body of his son-in-law.
Erik's feelings began to unsettle as the voice of the Adhan stopped. The man was thinking about his wife in Jakarta. Usually, when Ella wakes up, she is always by her side, providing warmth and comfort from the cold morning air. Not even the thought stopped, the sound of calls from his phone filled the room. His guess was right, his wife was the one who called him right now.
After sticking his phone to his ear, Erik just silently listened to what Ella said. His wife asked him about his current whereabouts. From his tone Erik could feel if his wife was anxious.
“Assalamu’alaikum, Oma from my grandson,” he said first. “you panic until you forget the greetings,” he added. After that there was a voice from Ella who returned her greetings.
“Take ablution first gih, let it be calmer! I'll be clear!” Erik's orders.
Ella didn't do it she just took a deep breath and took it out slowly. “Okey I am calm at the moment. Now tell me where are you?” tanyanya, then.
“Inhale!” erik's words when his wife's breath sounded short.
"Speak tell me where you are?" ask Ella who can't wait to hear her husband's explanation.
“I'm in the hospital, in Bogor. You are better at home! Far I fear you are exhausted,” said Erik.
“Who is sick?” search Ella.
“Your daughter-in-law.”
“Which son-in-law, Mas? Our daughter-in-law is a lot!” ask again, even though only a daughter-in-law but she is also worried, surely the impact will affect the condition of her sons and daughters.
“He's seriously ill? Then Nana, how?” cut Ella.
“Honey, listen to me first! Habit if I want to clear you always cut!” erik's Reprimand.
“Okey, well I'm silent.” Ella replied in a weak voice, and then quietly listened to her husband.
“There is bad news and happy news here. The bad news is Abhi got a gunshot wound, all right?!”
“Astaghfirullah, how to go?”
“He just had surgery, I'll keep you informed. And for the good news ..” Erik scratched his temple then stared at Naura's bed.
“What news, quickly say!”
Ever since speaking with Ella, Erik could hear if the woman was panicking. So, he chose to ask his personal driver to drive Ella to the hospital he currently resides in, rather than he also thought about Ella's health condition that could have recurred at any time because of thinking about Naura's condition.
Erik turned towards the bed, looking as if Naura was wriggling her body. “You're up?” he asked, while walking closer towards Naura.
“Papa is here. Is Abhi okay, Pa?” naura asked, about to lower her legs, intending to look for Abhi's whereabouts.
“Back to your position!” erik said, in a high tone.
“Pa, Abhi! I want to see his current condition!” Naura's eyes were already glazed over, making Erik feel guilty for already snapping at her.
“Na, the doctor has handled it. He's in the operating room, the doctors are trying to lift the bullet that went into Abhi's body so you calm down!” Erik smiled faintly, as he saw Naura rubbing her tears. The memory of when little Naura came back to shadow her, when the girl's wish was delayed, Naura would do such a thing, the more she became when she came to Naura's room. He then explained slowly if he was doing a lot of work in the office.
“I'm hungry, Pa!” lamented Naura, after a long time of crying and Erik was just waiting for her.
“Becasting menu has not been delivered. Wait a minute!” answer Erik.
“Po sure you want to give me hospital food? I want to eat instant noodles, and eat them with chopsticks.”
Erik understood that his daughter never wanted to eat the hospital meal, but he also would not let his daughter eat instant noodles because Naura was pregnant young. “Cannot!” erik refused his daughter's request. “You can't eat instant noodles. Let people cook noodle soup for you!”
“Pa, just once! Instant noodles chicken onion flavor!” persuade Naura with a pleading gaze.
“No! Na, you're pregnant again so come on!”
