THE STRUGGLE OF A WIDOW

UNCHANGED

Mida quickly turned to look at Mr. Rizal with sharp eyes.

"Pa.. What does papa mean, huh..? Do you want our son killed by that man..? Huh..?" Screeched Mida with her cries.

"Enough ma is enough.. It's a hospital.. Not a murder scene.. What by holding on, with this mama's ego, Arman will be healed so..?" Mr. Rizal can no longer stand the attitude of his wife.

"In there, our son is dying.. Not because of this mama's attitude, Arman left us because of late handling.. And it's because of mom.." Another impact

Ms. Mida threw away her face still with tears in her eyes.

"Dok, do.. I'll sign it and take care of its administration right now.." Mr. Rizal looked at Dr. Haris confidently as he turned to head to the administration room.

"Wait a minute, sir.." Prevent doctor Haris

Mr. Rizal and Ms. Mida turned to look at Doctor Haris's face in confusion.

"Sorry before, but Dr. Rayan is no longer willing after getting rejected. While Eza's doctor is still in singapore." Doctor Haris said honestly

Dr. Haris did not want to take any more risks after seeing the response from Ms. Mida. This time he was just waiting for the decision of the patient's family with no insistence or coercion no matter the patient's condition.

Mr. Rizal immediately softened to hear the words of Dr. Haris. Mida's tears fell without sobbing.

"So how's my son doc..?" Ask Rizal in despair.

"Sorry sir.. The patient is in a bad condition.. Frankly, I say that the current patient must immediately get treatment again because of the abuse in his head. If it's late, then the patient won't be able to survive.." Obviously Dr. Haris

Mr. Rizal and Ms. Mida immediately squeezed.

"While the best doctors are in sight.. But he was no longer willing because of opposition from the patient's family. I, as a neurologist and a brain doctor, can't do anything if there's no other expert." Further

"Why does a hospital of this size not have many other expert doctors..?" Bu Mida protested loudly.

"Doctor Maya on maternity leave.. Doctor Dayu on marriage leave.. Eza's doctor was on duty in Singapore for three weeks and he just left last night.. And now we have another specialist, Dr. Rayan, but he has been rejected by his own mother.." Answer doctor Haris

"I'm sorry, I have to get back on duty.. If there's anything, call the nurse.. Excuse me.." Doctor Haris pamit

Mr. Rizal just looked disappointed at Ms. Mida. Frustrated, Mr. Rizal went from the presence of Mida without saying anything to make Mida's mother cry again.

After lunch, Susi chose to relax under a lush tree beside her house. He deliberately kept his distance with Tio. Tio was quite sensitive to Susi's attitude this time. And today he decided to return to the city alone.

Susi, who was sitting on her back to the porch, could not see Tio who came out of the house with a backpack on her back containing clothes while at Susi's house.

"Susi, Tio's leaving already.." Call Mila's mom to the kid

Susi heard Tio was going home, of course reflex turned around in shock.

"You're coming home..? going back to town means..?" Ask back Susi.

Tio just stood still and grabbed Susi's parents' hands and kissed the backs of their hands in turn. The bus finally approached the three.

"Yo, what's sudden..? I'm not ready yet..?" Susi asked annoyed

"I want to go back because I have to work.. You're here first.. The lecture hasn't entered either..?" Tio said while putting his backpack on the passenger seat of his car.

Susi frowned. He felt that Tio was hiding something from him.

"Mom, sir, Tio go home first.. Assalamualaikum.." Pamit Tio before she finally got into her car and started the car engine.

"Yes heart, son.. Greetings to your mother.." Mum Mila and Mr. Rudin chimed in and waved at the gun.

While Susi who was next to Tio's car, only remained silent when Tio seemed to ignore him. Until Tio's car climbed up from the front of the house and disappeared from their eyes.

Mr. Rudin and Ms. Mila rushed into the house. Previously Tio had told both Susi's parents the reason she had to go home and the reason why Susi was still at her parents' house.

On the way, Tio kept thinking about Susi. About his words, his attitude, all stuck in Tio's mind. She was confused, from where Susi could tell about her feelings. Because when his conversation with the mother that night, he saw clearly Susi was still in her seat originally in her room.
