The RoofTop Girl's
Sonia
Dimpled
"I'm cape?!"
"No friends make up stories."
"I'm alone, I don't have anyone, do I?! sometimes I want to sleep my back sore, my legs cramp, want to call amak for mijitin not good, I often cry alone at night."
"I've been trying as hard as you want."
He sighed softly to remember all the words spoken from Sonia's lips this afternoon.
He took it slowly on his sleeping head, "I'm sorry, dear brother, can't be a good husband for you yet."
His eyes were heating up, he looked at Sonia's enlarged stomach, must be tired, he knew it. Two months later his wife was due to give birth, various fears and worries began to overshadow him, making him never able to sleep well every night.
"Sonia told you a story?"
"What story?"
"He's PPT (Placenta Previa Total)."
"meaning?"
"The abnormal placenta, covering the entire total of the birth canal, Sonia can't give birth normally."
Galih's remarks yesterday via phone continue to tease him, although the man said it does not matter, because it will be in SC before the opening occurs. Still, this girl will face it herself later.
He had calculated the date of Sonia's operation given by Galih and matched with the schedule of its activities, the date coincided once with the field schedule the day before the closing of the diklat. Which means, he has not been able to go home when Sonia will fight life and death on the operating table.
His head throbbed violently, he chose to go out of the room, light his cigarette and sit on the porch himself.
The night has slowly crept. The sound of the fried rice peddler calling out to the customer while hitting the bamboo rod with a wooden stick had vanished at the end of the road.
As soon as he approached, all living beings had long closed their eyes, except for himself who was still at home allied with the cold of the night wind, I don't know.

Sonia
Suddenly he jerked from deep sleep, his eyes were perfectly awake when he found that Dimas was not in the room.
"SISTER...?"
There was no excuse, he walked into an empty kitchen, no sign of life there, turned to the bathroom, nothing. Only water droplets came from the faucet that was not perfectly locked.
"SISTER...?"
The curtain leading to the living room, the front door opened, he saw it was twelve in the evening. Slowly he walked towards the door.
"Sister...?"
The man turned his head, directly pressing firmly the rest of the cigarette butts on the ashtray.
"Why awake?" The sound of Brother Dimas hoarse.
"Sister, why are you here?"
"No, let's go in, cold.." The man grabbed her shoulder, led her inside.
"I woke up, look brother is not there. Why out of the night like this?"
"Collars huh? change the fan in the living room." Look at Dimas who just smelled that smile.
The man shook his head, "No need, let's sleep again."
Brother Dimas covered her gently, then lay down beside her.
"Is there a problem?"
"Nothing."
"Oh yeah, I haven't told my sister, yesterday the same check with Galih, I can't be a normal person, have to have surgery." He linked his fingers to Dimas's big toe.
"But no problem, today's C-sections are no longer something to be afraid of, almost 60% of women perform C-sections on their pregnancy." Continue to be confident.
Brother Dimas nodded slowly, "I don't know, Galih called yesterday."
"It's okay, there's amak, there's Galih's sister too. Brother just focus on the classroom and I'll deliver this baby safely."
"Don't worry." His whisper slowly stuck to the husband's chest.
"So, I came home the day after the surgery." Brother Dimas kissed his head.
"Never mind, we'll wait for papa to come home." He tightened his embrace.
"What time is it back to Lemdiklat?"
"Ten-morning hours are already there."
He nodded slowly, then drowned his head in the chest of the husband.

Time change. The day of the gathering becomes the week, and the week transforms into the month, . His schedule of operations only counts for days.
All preparations have been sorted out, it is undeniable, even though how many times have witnessed the implementation of Caesar's surgery, understand very well the diagnosis he experienced, still the anxiety is still there.
Dimas repeatedly called, making sure he was okay.
"Son, there's a bit of a problem." Galih said that afternoon to him, just a week before the scheduled surgery.
"Yes...?!"
"Have you any previous history of heart surgery?"
He and Amak looked at each other.
"Used to Galih." Random voice.
"Sonia has a heart defect from birth, at age 5 years ever heart valve surgery, his heart valve is not normal."
Galih sis nodded slowly, "I'm disappointed, I should have realized this from the start."
"A-why is there a problem?" He could no longer hide his fear.

Subterfuge
A week before Sonia's scheduled surgery, she had everything prepared, her best friend's wife had to get a special one, considering this was Dimas' direct mandate.
PPT (Plasenta Previa Total) is not a complicated case for him, he has often handled patients with the diagnosis, no problem.
But when reading the results of Sonia's cardiology, he just found something strange, and it turns out the assumption is true, the girl's heart valve is not normal.
Too risky to get pregnant, should be aborted at the beginning of pregnancy. His head suddenly dizzy, he should have realized that.
"After surgery when he was five years old, there should have been a follow-up operation." Speak softly to him, when there is no Sonia there.
"But we had absolutely no fees, free health insurance from the government couldn't bog all the checks."
"We saw Sonia was fine, her achievements were also good, so we never resumed her treatment."
His knees were limp hearing the amak explanation. What he would say to Dimas. Performing a Caesarean section is very risky for Sonia, the girl's heart is unstable.
It's worth Sonia is often nervous, Audrey has also told me, Sonia's hands are always wet with sweat, my God...
