“R!”

A man in front of the Hospital lobby waved his hand when he saw Daddy R with Varen and Andrea running away from the parking lot.

“Bi! How's Nathan?!”

It was Uncle Bryan who had been waiting for Daddy R following Varen and Andrea after reporting that Nathan was in the Hospital owned by his family in the area around Bogor.

Uncle Bi immediately contacted Daddy Jeff who then contacted Daddy R where Nathan was rushed after the accident that hit him, after one of the Hospital parties recognized Nathan as one of the Sons of Uncle Bi's relatives.

“Still handled R. The operation is not finished” said Uncle Bryan who then immediately shot to the Hospital and previously ordered Doctor – The best Doctor who works at his Hospital to immediately deal with Nathan.

It just so happens that Uncle Bi and his family have been living not far from their Hospital since he got married. He then contacted Daddy Jeff.

“His own conditions? ..” Ask Daddy R.

While following Uncle Bi's steps that brought them to the area near the operating room at the Hospital.

“.... Pretty bad R, sorry Said Uncle Bi with a sad face.

Daddy R follows Varen and Andrea exhaling heavily. Shortly Poppa and Momma and Papi John appeared at the Hospital and were already four people near the operating room.

“How's Nathan?!”

Papi John immediately asked the question when it was close to Daddy R, Varen, Andrea and Uncle Bi. “Still handled Pi”

“But the condition?!..”

“The injury is quite serious. His right hand was broken, pretty bad. The car, if according to eyewitnesses who brought Nathan here, Nathan's car hit the guardrail hard enough and then rolled twice before the fire came out from under the car"

Uncle Bryan began to explain.

"So even though Nathan didn't have any heavy bleeding in the head, as I got the report. Still they in addition to operating Nathan's hand also check if there are internal injuries. Nathan was unconscious when he was brought here because”

Poppa and the others rubbed their faces roughly. Then Momma grabbed Andrea who was already crying

covering his face with both palms.

“According to the one who helped Nathan so, it was also those who helped get Nathan out of the car

before the car caught fire. Maybe when rolling there is a part of the tank that hit hard to leak. But do not know for sure sih”

“Omar is on the scene now”

Uncle Bi was a mangosteen – mangosteen on Poppa's speech.

“Bi ..”

“Ya Fan?”

“Yang nolong Nathan is still there?”

Uncle Bi nodded at Momma.

“There, they're at the cafe. I asked them to wait there. Maybe you guys would rather dig

information, so I ask them to wait”

“Antar Bi, I want to thank you for nolong Nathan”

“Iya ayo”

“You wait here, let me go with Fania to meet those who helped Nathan” Poppa said

Daddy R and the others then nodded.

“Jeff and Jihan want to come here too?. I haven't had time to contact them again”

Papi John spoke to Daddy R who was leaning against the wall near the operating room

“Have Pi. Papa Bear called me. And said they soon followed here”

The brother replied.

“Ya already”

***

While Poppa and Momma with Uncle Bi went to meet some people who were willing to help Nathan and immediately took him to the Hospital to thank him.

Daddy R and the three people with him waited in silence covered in worries and unrest waiting for the big door of the operating room where Nathan was being handled open.

Time was long for those who were anxious to wait for certainty about Nathan's condition after the surgery.

Until finally the door opened and two doctors were still complete with colored surgical uniforms

green came out of there, after Daddy Jeff and Mama Jihan came along with Daddy Dewa and Mom Ichel.

The rest waited for news at home while accompanying the krucils who could not be left behind if the parents and their grandparents went all to the Hospital to see the condition of one of their brothers.

“Jeff Mama Jihan clasped Daddy Jeff's hand when she saw two people in green uniforms who were the doctors who handled Nathan. Daddy Jeff smiled soothingly at the wife whose face was very anxious and swollen.

“We are patient?. Hopefully they delivered the good news”

Mama Jihan nodded while standing up, then walked over to the two doctors who had just walked out from inside the operating room.

“How is he?....” Poppa immediately asked the two doctors who had just come out of the operating room

those.

“How patients can we save” Said one of the Doctors who had opened the mask that had been covered

her mouth.

“Alhamdulillah ...”

There was relief in the hearts of all who were waiting for Nathan's news. It also sounds like a sigh of relief

out of Mama Jihan's mouth and three other women.

“Hiswa we have been able to save. For his own condition, we have tried our best

maybe the patient gets the best treatment. For the part of the patient's hand that is broken, can already be overcome well even though the condition of the fracture is also quite severe earlier”

One of the doctors began to explain.

“Only diffuse axonal injury, impact of head impact in the patient's accident. Although there is no bleeding, but it can still trigger cell damage – brain cells”

The hearts of those who had been relieved were now tensed again.

“Mak – sudnya Doc?”

“The big line, if the patient is conscious within one time twenty-four hours, means that the diffuse axonal injury in his brain is not too severe. But if exceed that time, we will check further”

“So, sorry, if you have to wait patiently until the patient is aware. We hope that less than twenty-four hours of Jonathan's brother has shown positive signs, then his critical period can be considered to be past. As it was guess - kira”

“If ..... turns out within twenty-four hours, our son ..... has not been aware as well ...... what......... it threatens his life .....?.....”

“Sorry Sir, we do not feel entitled to determine someone's life. We must also wait until the twenty-four hour period if the patient is unconscious. After that we can do further checks on the condition of patient”

“Possibilities that can happen... what are they? Please say ..”

“Brain swelling, coma, to death”

*****

Twenty-four hours have passed. But the – sign positive sign from Nathan has not been seen.

“How is Doctor?”

It was Daddy Jeff talking. Can't wait to know how Nathan's condition and the possibility of what he and Mama Jihan must face, related to the condition of the son they hope in one twenty-four hours is eye-opening.

Not only Daddy Jeff and Mama Jihan waiting for every word that comes out of the special Doctor

handling Nathan.

All the family members except the sisters other than Mika were entrusted to their caretakers in the Residence, while the parents and grandparents were already in the Hospital now.

Because one time twenty-four hours have been missed and the – sign positive over Nathan is expected

opening his eyes is not.

The doctor checked. And now it's been dealing with Daddy Jeff and every member of his family.

“There is quite a serious swelling in the brain of brother Jonathan ..”

“Build Tan, I miss the recenya elo, tau ga??...”

“Build Than, you still have to fight?. Wake up, we'll help Nathan fight later. Don't

surrender Tan, let's wake up, we're on Holiday”

“Build Boy, you owe us a grandson.”.

Nathan is declared in a coma, after twenty-four hours without Nathan giving a reaction.

Daddy Jeff who was always beside Mama Jihan then grasped the hand of the wife who was

clasping the hands of their son who was lying still on the bed with several hoses connected to his body.

“Nathan angry with Mama, yes? ... Nathan's angry because Mama and Daddy slapped Nathan? ... Nathan was angry

same Mama, because Mama said Nathan was depraved, right?. That's why Nathan won't wake up, hem?”

Mama Jihan said softly, where Daddy Jeff swallowed his saliva.

“Nathan have the heart to see Mama, Daddy, Aina and all this sad ...?... What Nathan hates about Mom and Daddy

that's why Nathan legalized Mama and Daddy in this way? ... Nat – han's... Nathan has no pity on us? .. do you feel sorry for Mama? ... Awake Nak... Mama promise I won't tell Nathan again ..”

“Ji ..” Daddy Jeff who was just as sad as Mama Jihan was getting stuck seeing the wife who looked so sad and frustrated.

“Nat – han... he said to improve themselves ... want to show Mama and Daddy.... where?.... if this is ... Where can Nathan show us ...??? ... Wake up Nak – Mama ga will bill Nathan self-evidence about self-improvement .. enough Nathan to open his eyes aja Nak, enough Nathan to live well ... Mom and Daddy must be happy ... Wake up, later mama masakin all favorite food Nathan .. wake up – son.. ba - ngun ... Nathaannn -- - ..”

Daddy Jeff could not say what – did see the wife who then shed in her tears while slipping her face over the hands of the son. No more words from Mama Jihan's mouth than heart-wrenching stuffing.

Daddy Jeff grabbed Mama Jihan's body that looks so fragile at this time.

Same, Daddy Jeff feels as fragile as Mama Jihan. But Daddy Jeff should be more rigid, if,

to strengthen Mama Jihan

Nathan's eyes were still closed, looking so calm. Fall asleep so soundly.

Although Nathan was still breathing, there was no movement from his body during the week. Even just

eye movement.

Fear is still enveloping as Nathan's ‘tidurnya’ now creates a variety of possibilities.

And all that is possible will happen with God's permission.

Is Nathan going to wake up or is Nathan sleeping in eternity?.

*****

The husband that his wife left behind is called Duda...

A wife whose husband leaves is called a widow...

Children whose parents leave behind can be called orphans...

But ...

What do you call a parent whose child has left behind? ...

There is no ...

Because of the feelings of the parents whose children left behind it ...

Like something so big and heavy that hit the chest hard, to squeeze the heart ...

Indescribable pain...
