The Waiting of Alya's Love
Chapter 12
Aluna began to look for ways to keep her husband from turning away from her. She fears Reno will abandon herself and return to Alya, the husband's past woman. Since knowing her husband often went to a place full of memories with Alya, Reno's wife was often shrouded in fear.
Anxiety that is so high will be very dangerous for pregnant women because it can trigger stress. Stress there are pregnant women can trigger the birth of a baby prematurely (premature) and experience impaired growth and development.
Today there is nothing different with Aluna or Reno. The man was able to accept the fact that Aluna who became his wife was not Alya. He was trying to love his wife.
Aluna as usual, cooks and takes care of the house. After the husband left for work, the woman immediately cleaned the dining table and washed the dishes and some cooking utensils. After that, he picked up the dirty clothes in the basket about to wash them.
Because of the many dirty clothes in the basket, Aluna did not see a little water in front of the bathroom door. The woman, who is eight months pregnant, walked quickly to the washing machine, to hunt for time because she was going to posyandu. Nahas, he slipped while stepping on that wet floor.
Reno suddenly came home because something was missing. How surprised he was when he found his wife covered in blood in front of the bathroom.
Reno rushes Aluna to the hospital, hoping that the lives of his wife and child can still be saved. Seeing the amount of blood that had pooled, it seemed like the wife had fallen for too long.
Ten minutes later, Reno and his wife arrived at Bhayangkara Hospital. Aluna immediately got treatment in the operating room to remove the baby who had begun to weaken his heart rate.
Taking too much blood, the doctor asked for a few bags of blood to save Aluna's life. Reno calls her friends for help. However, good fortune does not seem to side with Aluna and Reno.
Aluna was declared critical and forced to be admitted to the ICU room, while the baby survived and entered the incubator because it was born prematurely and in a critical condition. The baby at birth had started to turn blue because the amniotic fluid had broken when his mother's body slammed onto the floor.
Rendra who heard the news went straight to the hospital to visit and accompany Reno. As an old friend, he wanted to give strength to his friend. Although it can not help much, accompanying at times like this is very meaningful.
"Reno, how's your wife doing? I'm sorry I just came" asked Rendra as soon as he met Reno in front of the ICU room.
"Get unconscious, he has not been able to get through his critical period. Thank you for coming" replied Reno.
"You are patient, hopefully your wife will wake up and recover quickly" said Rendra, patting Reno's shoulder slowly.
"Aamiin, thank you," Reno replied.
Rendra accompanied Reno for two hours. He already had an appointment with Alya so inevitably left his friend in the hospital by himself.
Reno's parents and Aluna's parents have just arrived after Rendra's death. They were shocked to hear the news. What news beyond the shadow let alone their will.
They asked about Aluna and her baby. After being told how Aluna and her baby are both critical, Reno's mother and Aluna's mother embrace each other with tears.
"You go back to the contract, let Reno keep Aluna here. You must be tired" Reno told her parents and in-laws.
"No, Reno. We just want to be here. Yeah, doesn't besan?" sahut mom Reno, Listyawati.
"Mom, Mother, here should not be many people waiting for patients. This in the ICU room is not an inpatient room. Only one person can wait for the patient" explained Reno gave understanding to his parents and in-laws.
"Alright, Ma. We'll just go back to Reno's contract. Tomorrow morning we come here again, replace Reno," said papa Reno persuaded his wife to listen to his son's words.
Finally, the four of them returned to Reno's rented house. Now, Reno was sitting alone in a cold iron chair. He is not allowed to enter freely, only at certain hours he can enter.
A few minutes later, Reno got up and walked towards the room where his wife was, to see the state of the wife through the clear glass as a partition. Various medical equipment stuck to Aluna's body. No tears Reno shed seeing that.
"Sorry, Aluna. If I had come earlier, maybe we could still chat together now" Reno said softly with his hands against the glass wall.
Unable to bear to see the state of the wife, Reno walked into the baby's room where her child was. The baby girl had already passed her critical period, her heart rate had also started to normal.
"Be healthy fast, son! Big fast and strong to face the beauty of this world," Reno said to the tiny baby who was still in the incubator.
After being satisfied to look at the child's face, Reno walked towards the iron chair located in front of the ICU room. Fortunately, the location of the ICU room with the baby room close together makes it easier for Reno to monitor the state of the child and his wife.
An hour later, Reno's eyes were closed because he felt tired all day taking care of his son and wife. Actually, he was not sleepy because he was worried about the state of his son and wife, but for the sake of health he had to sleep immediately. Rested.
About one in the morning, Reno woke up because there was a sound of footsteps coming to the room of the wife. He saw the doctor and two nurses enter Aluna's room in a hurry. Then, he got up and walked towards the tightly closed room
Inside the room, doctors and nurses try to help Aluna. Just then when the nurse came to check his condition, surprised to hear the heartbeat of Reno's wife getting weaker. After noting the patient's condition, suddenly hear the sound of heart rate stops.
The heart monitor shows a straight line, a sign of no more patient heart rate. The nurse immediately checked Aluna's condition, then immediately pressed the emergency button. Shortly after, the doctor and two nurses arrived
Half an hour later, the doctor came out of the room and stopped in front of Reno.
"Forgive us, we have tried but God wills another. Steady father," said the doctor while patting Reno on the shoulder.
Without saying anything to the doctor, Reno ran straight to the room where his wife was. Seen by him, Aluna's body was already covered in a white cloth completely. Even Reno's cry was not restrained anymore.
Although there is no love in Reno's heart, but living with Aluna for three years makes them close. Especially during that time Aluna patiently took care of herself. Reno owes a lot to his wife.
The news of Reno's wife's death reached Rendra as well. Rendra and Alya come to Reno's contract to pay their last respects to Aluna. And also say sorry to Reno.
Aluna was buried in her hometown. Rendra and Alya take part in delivering the body to its final resting place.
"Thank you for coming. On behalf of Aluna, I'm sorry. Especially to you, Alya."
