The RoofTop Girl's

Persist

Sonia

He reflexively stood up when he saw Galih coming out of the door. He sighed for a while before Galih's brother hugged Audrey, his wife, and then turned to her.

"Dimas' CT scan just came out, he had a severe head injury, his skull was fractured."

Again, he could hardly breathe hearing Galih's brother's speech.

"The neurosurgeon will perform craniotomy surgery soon, soon to be transferred to the operating room. You better go home first."

"No, we stay here." Audrey interrupted.

"Dear, please." Galih looked at Audrey deeply and gently.

"Rest at home while helping prayer yes, later brother notify the development."

"Is there hope?" His voice shakes withstanding the crying.

Galih looked at him, I don't know what the look was, obviously his tears were back in the river looking at that gaze.

"The neurosurgeon will clean the debris from the crack and fix the position of the bone slab so as not to press on the brain. Dimas strong, pray that there will be no complications later."

He nodded, trying to accept Galih's explanation, although it felt really tight to hear it.

"Now that you go home first, you've asked the CoAs student to drop off, he's waiting in front, go."

Just when he and Audrey wanted to leave, the group he knew was probably the big family of Dimas because there was a mother brother Dimas who was crying walking towards them.

"Dimas, how's Dimas?" Mama kak Dimas immediately rushed to Galih's sister.

"She's not aware of aunt, she'll be operated on soon."

The middle-aged woman nodded, then turned towards him.

"Soniaaa hyks hyks." He was just quietly glued as he sobbed when mommy brother Dimas hugged him, we all cried, well, we all shed tears, tears for brother Dimas.

"I'm sorry to be forgiven if he's got it wrong all along. Affirm when something beyond our control happens to my son." The middle-aged woman looked very tough, and she just nodded slowly trying to come along.

They went home in silence, as if at a loss for all words, he and Audrey clasped each other.

"She's the sister I called the eldest brother, the oldest brother who embraced me when I was at a nadir in my old life." Audrey started the conversation.

"He who gave me courage when I was so afraid to curl up in the cell alone, he was in the front row defending me when I was almost reported to the police when I pushed Zizi."

"Sir Dimas was a very good man, why now he suffers like this hyx." Audrey is back.

He could only hug Audrey firmly, strengthening each other that's what they were doing right now, until the car that drove him stopped in front of the mosque near his home.

He walked toward the house with the rest of the tears that had dried up, trying to toughen up but in fact could not.

"How's Dimas?" Amak immediately scoured him even when he had not reached the door.

"Unconscious mom, now again operated on the hyx." He hugged her back, crying deeply.

"Why is it like this, why is it like this when I have established the heart of the hyx."

"Ikhlas Son, all the trials of God, nothing will happen without His permission, not even a leaf that is loosed from its stem by the permission of God." Elus amak shoots his head soft.

He looked back at the bouquet of roses given by Kak Dimas after entering the room, still fresh, beautiful.

"*You're beautiful."

"Let's get married tomorrow*."

Still joking brother Dimas at that time, hiiks... He kissed the rose one by one, it was too painful, God, he could not.

Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow he may not be able to smell this rose again, because the rose will wither and rot. Ahh why did Brother Dimas give her a bouquet of flowers like this. Why did the man not give the living rose in the pot as usual, why.

Subterfuge

He stared at the eyes every inch of the friend's face, the pale stiff face of Dimas. There was no more that ignorant smile that the man often looked at, Dimas was completely helpless, lying like a corpse on the operating table.

He is already wearing sterile clothes and will participate in the craniotomy operation of the friend. Standing at the tip of Dimas's foot, watching his fellow professional perform an action on Dimas.

The neurosurgeon starts to slash the layers of Dimas' scalp which are then clamped and pulled to clarify the condition inside. Then the skull of the friend was drilled.

After the part was completed, the skull bone Dimas cut using a special saw. The bone is removed and the neurosurgeon begins to access the part of the brain that needs to be addressed. Time and again he sighed looking at that part of Dimas' head that opened.

After the skull bone opening has been completed, the part of Dimas' brain that has suffered damage or problems is repaired, even some debris is removed. Then parts of the bone and scalp are glued back together using sutures, wires, or surgical staples. Operation's over, Alhamdulillah.

Although Dimas' condition has not stabilized, it is still experiencing a decrease in consciousness but his colleagues say that the operation was successful, there are no complications that are so meaningful, Dimas has passed the critical phase. Just waiting for the man to come to his senses and go through a period of recovery.

"Good job bro, I know you can get through this, quickly realize because there is a big surprise waiting for you."

He deliberately whispered to Dimas while smiling meaningfully.

Happy reading

Ahh, this nulis part really reminds othor when he was still a student, had also become a craniotomy operations assistant like this natural Dimas, a craniotomy is a major surgery in the brain performed for patients with severe head injuries, strokes, Parkinson's and patients with medical indications that necessitate head surgery...😀
