THE SECRET OF SANDRA

Crowded

Sandra's inpatient room is now so crowded with all the Sandra brothers who come. They gave up their school time, campus, and work just to keep Sandra more precisely ditching. After they were told by Joseph about Sandra's condition this morning, they were very sad and devastated to hear Sandra was injured. After being told, immediately they held a do'a together after the morning prayer and then they came to the hospital in the afternoon.

"Who is this grandfather?" alin asked who saw that there was a white-haired middle-aged man who looked foreign in his eyes.

Actually all the Sandra brothers are curious about who the figure of the grandfathers with the bruised face, the, but they want to hear it directly from Sandra because if Sandra introduces it, it is guaranteed to be a good person.

"Hm... Introduce your grandfather's name, Rizal. You can call me Grandpa Rizal" said Rizal with a little nervous because he has rarely been close to children since marrying again.

"Alright grandfather" said Alin cheerfully and then continue his playing activities back with his brothers.

While the other brothers just listen to the conversation without wanting to join the hoard and they are also busy themselves with toys.

"God... I had forgotten that Arka and Jasmine must be home alone" Rizal exclaimed by patting his own forehead, breaking the silence in the room.

At his marriage to Ema, his new wife Rizal had two twins in her old age. Even his son is 8 years old at the moment. He just remembered that his two children must be alone at home because in their home there was no maid hired.

Rizal immediately stood up from his seat, then walked back towards the door of Sandra's hospital room until he forgot to say goodbye to everyone there.

"Dad, wait" cried Uncle Harry as he saw his father walking in such a hurry.

"Dad?" rizal asked in a trembling tone because he could not believe that his son would call him back as father.

"Let's go get my two sisters" said Uncle Harry, holding his father's arm as he reached his father's front.

The two of them came out of the hospital room Sandra still with a look of disbelief Rizal on her son.

Two hours passed, in the room Sandra was still crowded with all her siblings. Some play games, cell phones, and sleep on the carpet. Leo sat down in the side seat of Sandra's gurney holding Sandra's hand.

Eunghhh...

The sound of someone's shrill cry made everyone there turn their attention to the sound.

"Sister Sandra" exclaimed Alin and Fatah at the same time when he saw Sandra's hand held by Leo moving.

All of them instantly shrouded Sandra's bed gurney waiting for Sandra to open her eyelids. Leo who was near the doctor button finally pushed it. Sandro who saw Sandra had opened his eyes immediately just took some water to drink and helped her drink.

After a few minutes, the doctor and two sisters came to check on Sandra. All the people who surrounded Sandra immediately stepped away from there to give a place for the doctor and the nurse to check on Sandra's condition. Sandra was examined carefully by the doctor.

"Are there any complaints, miss?" ask the doctor.

"Just a little pain in the back" Sandra said softly.

"It is better to sleep sideways or on her stomach for a while so that the surgery wound is not depressed" said the doctor and embraced by Sandra.

"Father patient?" asked the doctor while staring to ask everyone who was there.

"I'm her brother, doc" replied Willy and was taken in by the doctor.

"Well doc, do your best for my sister" Willy said, and was taken in by the doctor.

The doctor and nurse finally left Sandra's room and all her siblings turned around and asked about her condition.

"Sister Sandra how are you? Is anyone still sick?" ask Alin attentively.

"Sister Sandra is fine" said Sandra Lirih.

"Sister Sandra needs to heal quickly so she can play with us again. We are sad to see Sandra in pain" Alin said with teary eyes.

"Yes, Alin help do'ain brother yes to be healthy again" replied Sandra with a sweet smile.

"Sister Leo, Uncle Harry, and Grandpa Rizal have been examined and treated for his injuries?" ask Sandra to Leo.

"It is" Leo replied briefly with a faint smile.

"Thank God. Where are Grandpa Rizal and Uncle Harry?" ask Sandra who didn't see the two there.

"Pick up Uncle Harry's sister" Leo replied and was taken in by Sandra.

He already knew about the ins and outs of the Rizal family with his new wife, even he also already knew about the condition of the two Uncle Harry's sisters.

At Rizal and Ema's house...

Rizal and Uncle Harry arrive in front of Rizal and Ema's modest house, a short distance from the hospital. It takes almost 3 hours to get there. The two of them immediately got out of the car and a little ran to get inside the house because from the outside there was already a crying sound that was believed to be the voice of Arka and Jasmine.

"Arka, Jasmine" exclaimed Rizal as he knocked on the door of the house because he did not bring the house keys and the house was locked from the inside.

"Dad" cried Arka and Jasmine with a cry when she heard her father's voice coming home.

Finally the door of the house was opened featuring two twin boys and girls with tears running down their cheeks. Seeing his father in plain sight, they immediately hugged his father and cried bitterly.

"Where is he? We hungry? I didn't go home either" Jasmine said, still crying.

Arka and Jasmine look very thin because all this time his wife never paid attention to the food and nutrition of the twins. Ema is always busy with her social friends and also devises a plan to take Luis' property, as well as her. Now Rizal really regretted abandoning these children. The house they have in Indonesia is very simple because Ema used to not allow him to buy a bigger house.

"God... They were so thin" Uncle Harry's inner smile wryly when he saw the condition of his sisters.
