The Widow of One Billion
Part 92's
A very bright morning, as bright as the sun that shines today, his gentle radiance seemed to give hope to every person who started the activity as he crept towards the sky. Like the hope Jack had. He hoped that his wife would accept his invitation to perform the operation. His hopes were as great as his love for Mira at this moment. Only in that way can save one of the people he loves, whether Mira or the fetus he contains. The man hoped that his wife would live with him.
Jack did not bother if later, Mira could no longer bear her child because, the most important thing for her is the health and recovery of the woman. As for the child's problem, there was Zay, who was his son now, for Jack it was all enough, while Mira, no one could replace him, no other Mira like his wife.
However, it seems that the woman is very strong with her stance, it is also difficult to give her understanding, let alone to perform surgery. Usually what happens and the decision taken by Jack unilaterally, is just wrong in his eyes.
Today is the time where Mira's decision whether or not to perform the operation.
If you want to or not, it will still be a consequence for Mira and her family because, the medics only suggest an action that they think is good. But all decisions are in the hands of the patient and his family, while the doctor only does it according to the procedure.
Jack was sitting in a chair at the side of the patient's bed, in front of his wife, who was whining about coming home. but Jack tried to give a little understanding to his wife who is quite stubborn.
"Mas... We'll be home by noon, right?" Mira asked the husband who had been staring at her meaningfully, and it was difficult for Mira herself to understand.
"Yes, we'll wait for the doctor... If you can, yeah, we go home but, if you don't have to go home later, okay?" Jack said while straining his wife's left hand, The right one is attached to the infusion.
"Bored here, Mom. I'm not dizzy anymore, anyway. So this is no problem, is it?" Mira's chirping at her husband.
Jack who saw all that made his chest feel even more claustrophobic, bad thoughts immediately crossed his mind. He imagined if he had to lose the beautiful woman who was holding his hand, he really could not. Moreover, he had lost it before, making his heart feel as if sadness was coming back. Although in silence, he tried to hold everything for the sake of Mira. He should be rational and calm.
"Yes.we go home but, later yes," Jack said in a soft voice. He did not want his words to offend his wife.
"Why the hell.... How come I'm so worried? Is there something wrong, on my face?" Ask Mira about her husband .
"Nothing is wrong ... Whether this is my feeling or right, you look a little thin" Jack said, changing his seat. He went up to the bed and approached beside the wife until their bodies stuck together.
"Ah... I'm not skinny, though! It was just a feeling of Mas..” Mira answered while touching her cheek with both hands.
"Did it hurt a lot here?" Jack asked while stroking the wife's stomach was still flat, with a view that could not be separated from Mira's face.
"Yes, sometimes anyway, I like that cramp but... Lost with Self after I brought the fall,” replied Mira.
"Is it really painful or what?" Jack asked again, He wanted to hear firsthand the complaints of the wife, their bodies getting closer and now Jack's hand was holding Mira's shoulder warmly.
"Yes, it hurts, .. but it's only for a moment" Mira said. She guessed it was just an ordinary cramp because the woman did not know the truth behind her pain.
"Why didn't you ever tell me that stomach cramps often?" Jack said as he stroked his wife's stomach. This makes Mira uncomfortable.
"Ikh, Mas. geli knows not to be elus-elus, mulu," said Mira, with a small laugh.
“What if I don't say? I just don't want to take care of you, Mas!”
Ck!
In between their conversations, the door of the room was knocked from the outside, Jack got up from his seat and immediately walked slowly closer to the door to open it immediately.
As the door opened, two middle-aged women and Zay were standing at the door. In addition to Zay they are the Dellia Bu accompanied by Bi Minah as well.
"Good morning! How's Mira doing, now?" The two women just walked in past Jack. A series of questions also emerged from Ms. Dellia she was also very worried about the state of her Mira—, even last night the woman could not sleep.
"Good, Please sit!” Jack invited Dellia to come in and sit down.
Ms. Dellia slowly walked in Zay's hand, towards where Mira was sitting on the patient's bed.
Mira who saw that did not respond to anything. I don't know, she hasn't felt empathy for Ms. Dellia, even though she's really her mother. Maybe because since childhood Mira did not live with him and never felt affection from him until he was so disappointed, making him indifferent.
Mira only smiled faintly looking at the innocent face of the son who was already wearing the school uniform. After finishing breakfast, the boy forced to come to see his mother Mira—.
"How are you doing, son?" Asked Ms. Dellia while approaching the princess who had been so missed.
"Well," Mira answered briefly while throwing her gaze in the other direction.
"Thank God, this is Mama bringing breakfast for you and your Husband, too" Mrs Dellia said as she placed a food bag over the nightstand.
"You want breakfast now?” Asked Mrs Dellia in a soft voice impressed with affection. “If you are not strong, let the mother bribe, yes?”
"Later on!" Mira replied in a soft voice but could still be heard clearly in the ears of Mrs Dellia.
"Yes, Ma! But Zay wouldn't have gone to school if he hadn't met Mama. That's why I came here with Auntie, Grandma! Mama, why the hell? Mama hurts what?”
The little boy's question wasn't just about hurting Jack who couldn't possibly answer honestly. However, it makes Mira and all those in the room wonder, what actually hurts Mira until she fainted and had to be treated? If it were only because of pregnancy, it would be impossible, because she felt fine.
“Now, right, have met Mama .. so, you have to go to school, now it's noon you know, beware later.” Mira Sahut.
“But, it's close from here, Ma!” said Zay with his innocent face.
“Ya, already ... leave there.” Mira said as she gently rubbed her son's head.
“Yes, deh ... Zay, go first, yes, Ma!” zay said as he kissed the back of Mira's hand, Jack's, and Dellia's. After that go out of the room with Bi Minah after saying goodbye.
“Be careful on the road, yes Dear!” mira said as she waved at Zay as she reached the door.
After Zay's departure, the three of them remained in the room, until the awkward atmosphere between Jack, Bu Dellia and Mira was created
The atmosphere was silent for a while until the sound of Mr. Dellia speaking, while holding the hand of his son Mira—.
“Mira, are you still mad at Mama?”
The atmosphere returned to silence, Mira did not immediately answer her mother's question. He chose to be quiet and not respond to anything.
Jack sat on the sofa not far from the bed until he could clearly hear what the two women were talking about sitting on the patient's ward.
Mira looked away and remained silent, although she was actually trying to hold back the tears due to the arrival of the woman who claimed to be her mother, very surprising to her. He could not accept it entirely if it turned out that the mother who gave birth to him was still alive.
“Mira, try to see Mama, Son!” said Bu Delia softly, while their hands were still clinging to each other.
Mira looked at Ms. Dellia who was looking at her softly.
“What's my reason, angry? It's just ...” said Mira.
“Excuse me, Mama, Nak.” Said Bu Delia while shedding tears.
“Mama is guilty of you. Actually Mama has been looking for you everywhere but, destiny has not united us, the first time we met at that time, Mama did not know that you are the son of Mama!”
Mira went back to silence and turned her gaze in the other direction, with all her might holding back the crying from spilling over.
If we talk about mistakes, then, between Mira and Ms. Dellia there is nothing wrong, they are both victims. Let alone talking about injuries, then the two women were both injured! Which mother wants to be separated from her child and whose child wants to be separated from her mother?
It's just that time Bu Delia couldn't fight her parents until she just resigned.
“Yes already, if you have not been able to forgive Mama, it is okay ... importantly, at the age of Mama now it is calm to see your children and grandchildren are fine.” Said Mrs Dellia in her soft voice.
On the sidelines of the conversation, the door was opened and it appeared that several doctors and nurses came to do an examination on Mira.
“Excuse me...” said one of the incoming doctors.
“Please!” jack said as he stood up and approached Mira's bed. The doctor and nurse approached the ward where Mira was.
“Sorry, can you wait outside? Only one person can wait in the patient's room.” One of the nurses told Ms. Delia.
“Alright,” said Bu Delia while leaving Mira, she will wait outside the room until the inspection is done.
