The Secret With Bad Boy

Meeting at night

Thrilling moments were felt by Kinanti and her three male friends. It's ten in the evening and the doctor is still not out of the action room. Kinanti sat in her place with Kala and Demian, while Riko who was more unsettled as she continued to peek into the gap of the room which actually did not look anything. But still he was curious if not to peek.

Sometimes the teenager put his ears on the wall. Like a white lizard trying to steal hear what's going on inside. He even held his breath so that his hearing was clearer.

“Ko, can you sit? Lo kayak so make more tense tau tak!” Demian who feels disturbed by Riko's behavior.

“Tar first, I like the sound of music or what is it?” Riko remained firmly attached to the door.

"Lo don't have to be like that. I saw it." Kala is protesting.

"Whisper ya lo on! Who nguping me, who tacked to my wall, whose eyes so squint also me, why do you bother?" Riko was upset.

“Gosh!” Not a minute had he been startled by the door that opened and almost made him stray.

“Mampus!” exclaim Kala and Demian together. They couldn't hide her complacency seeing Riko almost fall.

But then his face turned tense as Leon walked out of that door. “Kinan, come in,” said the man while smiling at Kinanti.

Kinanti immediately stood up as well as Kala. “One person yes.” Leon raised his index finger which made Kala forced to stop his steps.

“Please wait, I'll call you later,” pinta Kinanti.

Kala nodded obediently and let Kinanti in. The doctor gave a special green shirt complete with a head covering that is often called nurse cap. Only a few seconds before the door closed.

Demian and Kala waited anxiously beside the door while Riko chose to sit on the bench.

“Now you two are there. Emang kompak lo both, fit so brother!” ledek Riko who made Kala and Demian both look at him sharply.

“Don't sulk, look at my waist hurts.” Riko grimaced while pointing at her aching waist in shock.

“Salah himself pack walled block,” led Demian while holding his smile. Likewise with Kala who helped hold back her laughter seeing Riko's suffering.

“Life by both. It's getting better, now I'm being ostracized.” Riko nodded in annoyance. Demian and Kala looked at each other and quickly the laughter disappeared.

“Nothing is better. I still have a grudge against him.” Kala immediately threw away face. But Demian did not chim in, he realized that he was much wrong to Kala.

“Ya it's up to you both, you set it well. But for now, please buy me a rub or what a cake does for the waist. It hurts anjir!” Riko was really in pain. He held on to the back of a long chair and turned his back to his friends.

“Asking for rabies injection is the same as the doctor,” Demian even mocked.

“Eh the anj has been brave with me! I bite nular lo!” Riko was even more upset and Demian laughed inwardly. Riko's behavior was indeed enough to drive away their tension.

Inside, Kinanti was meeting Lukman. The man had not fully regained consciousness, but his condition was already better. The breathing apparatus has moved into the tracheostomy hole and Lukman is no longer in contact.

“The effect of sedative medicine is only a few percent left in his body. Maybe tomorrow morning the patient will wake up. The patient's oxygen has been removed and the patient will likely be able to speak even though it is not clearly heard. Currently the patient is still fasting, we try feeding test tomorrow morning through the feeding tube.” The doctor touched a tube connected to Lukman's nose.

“Yes, this hose will be used as long as the patient has not been able to swallow normally. We will remove it if the patient can swallow well,” explained the doctor.

Kinanti nodded her head, she had read a little about the conditions that Lukman faced in health journals in cyberspace. But it was even clearer after the doctor explained.

“You have five minutes, after that let the patient rest yes. Tomorrow morning just found again,” the doctor's message.

“Good, doc.” Kinanti nodded obediently. The doctor went with Leon. While Kinanti was still sitting in his place while looking at Lukman who was sleeping under the influence of drugs.

Kinanti ventured to grab the hand of the father. Hands thinner than before. Lukman's hands were softly pecked and he tried not to cry anymore. He remembered Kala's message, that Lukman might have heard Kinanti's whining even though he was unconscious.

Therefore, Kinanti let out a deep sigh while tightening her hand on Lukman, so that he would be stronger. He saw the face of Lukman. His nose looked so high because his cheeks were starting to empty without fat. Her forehead also looks slippery and her hair is thinning. Kinanti could even see that his father's collarbone was more prominent, indicating that this man was very thin.

Lukman who is now much different from Lukman who used to be so fit and fresh. See also the hole in his neck as where he breathes, still surrounded by gauze to keep sterile the rest of the action. Kinanti's heart grimaced at the look of the father she loved at this moment. So heavy was the health exam that the father received and he chose to carry it alone.

“Daddy, how are you today?" Kinanti started her sentence with a thumping feeling. He tried to smile at that pale face.

"Sorry Kinan yes Dad, because Kinan had felt disappointed and angry with Dad, even though Dad's burden was very heavy." Kinanti again kissed the father's hand. "Kinan know, Dad must be struggling with the pain in Dad's body and all that is not easy. Kinan hopes, I will keep fighting with everything. We're both taking this exam, Dad. Dad don't worry, Kinan will always nemenin Dad, look after Dad and take care of Dad.”

“Dad should know, if Dad never became a burden for Kinan just because Dad was sick. Father is the single most precious treasure Kinan has. Whatever Dad feels, Dad has the right to express it and Kinan will be faithful to accompany Dad to accept everything and encourage Dad. Like Kala said, we'll be strong if we're together. Yes Father?” Again, Kinanti tightened her grip on Lukman. He also kissed Lukman's hand and went to kiss his father's forehead.

“Kinan Darling Dad, will always love Daddy no matter what the condition of Dad.” Some time Kinanti was silent, trying to dispel the tightness in her chest. He closed his eyes so that his tears would not drip and he succeeded. He managed not to cry in front of Lukman.

“Dek, the look can be continued tomorrow morning yaa...” The soft voice of a nurse resuscitated Kinanti.

“Oh yes sus.” Kinanti immediately moved out of place, straightened her body and stared at Lukman for a moment.

“Dad, Kinan wait in front yaa.. Kinan not anywhere. Father's spirit, tomorrow morning we meet again Dad. Happy resting...” Kinanti spoke cheerfully. That's the voice Lukman usually likes. The cheek of Lukman.

The nurse who was waiting for Kinanti also smiled at Kinanti's behavior with her sweet speech.

“He must be very excited to heal, because his daughter is this strong,” comments the nurse while smiling at Kinanti.

“Aamiin.. thank you Mom. I picked up my dad, Mom. I'm out.”

“Iyaa. You also rest. The patient's condition is stable, so don't worry. Get ready to meet him tomorrow morning.” The nurse rubbed Kinanti's shoulder gently.

“Thank you ma'am, good night,” say goodbye to Kinanti before leaving.

“Night,” the nurse had a small smile on the young girl before her.

Kinanti immediately took off her protective clothes as well as her head covering. He was able to breathe a sigh of relief because he could finally see Lukman in better shape.
