True Said Mamah

Chapter 74

Anan sat down while holding the jade bracelet given by Lord Kendra. He was happy to get that gift. Before long, Abhizar came with two drinks in plastic cups and handed one to Anan.

"Carrot juice for princess Anan" she said, bending over and smiling, though invisible to Anan.

"You must have bowed a little" Anan guessed, imagining Cinderella's story in animated form.

Abhizar just smiled, not knowing Anan's guess.

"thank you. But, why so long?" Anan then sipped the juice of his order.

"Sorry, it was a long line." Abhizar then sat down beside Anan.

Just as Abhizar gulped down his latte, the phone in his pants pocket rang. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone.

Without waiting for time, he immediately raised a call from Zidan.

"Yes, hello."

"Take Anan to the hospital right now! Mamah Yati was serious," Zidan said, sounding panicked.

"All right."

Both of them cut off the phone.

"Come, Nan! We're going to the hospital now!"

"What's wrong? What's going on?" asked Anan while holding his chest that felt tight since Abhizar called Zidan earlier.

"We better get to the hospital now!"

Anan reached out with his handkerchief to be led by Abhizar to Abhizar's vehicle.

Yes, since Anan could not see, a handkerchief was an intermediary tool for anyone who led him who was not a mahram. The use of this handkerchief was none other than the idea of Zidan who was going to take Anan for a walk for the first time after the incident experienced by Anan.

Anan, reluctant to leave due to his limitations, is forced by Zidan for various reasons. As a result, Zidan was able to persuade Anan who was actually very inferior to his condition.

And Zidan's handkerchief was the first handkerchief Anan used.

The Sandra Hospital.

Anan arrives immediately greeted by Yani's mother and doctor Sandra. While Zidan accompanied Mamah Yati in the ICU.

"What happened to Mom, Auntie?" anan asked Yani's mother who was filled with anxiety.

"Em.. it's... ." Yani's mother couldn't really say anything to Anan.

"You calm down, honey. We're sitting there, yeah!" Doctor Sandra invited Anan and Yani's mother to sit in a waiting chair not far from where they were standing.

Now the three of them sit with Anan who is between doctor Sandra and Yani's mother.

"It is with a heavy heart that Mamah said that the current condition of Mamah Yati is getting worse. And we need to do the surgical procedure immediately. It's just that we haven't found a suitable kidney donor."

News about the health condition of Mamah Yati immediately shed a clear circle in the beautiful face of Anan.

"Take my kidney, Mah. Anan is sure, Anan's kidney will match with mama," said Anan who sobbed and held firmly the arm of doctor Sandra.

"Patience, Son. You must not be rash. Not that Aunt doesn't want healing for your mom. But you still need that too. Although we can still live with only one kidney, it will still be different. So Auntie please, think about your future too."

Just like Anan, Yani's mother was very sad with the deterioration of the condition of her only brother. Especially when he heard Anan gave up his kidneys to donate, his tears dripped like drizzle during the day. It was fortunate that Mamah Yati had a child as good as Anan, he thought.

"What Yani's mother said was right. After donating one of our kidneys, our wiggle room will gradually be limited. Good food is not all that we can consume. And again, someday you'll want marriage and children."

"No, Mah! Anan is fine if not married. The important thing is to be well and well. Please, Mah. Anan please, let Anan give one of Anan's kidneys to mamah."

"Enough, Nan! Are you aware of what you say?! It's not good for girls to talk like that, son." There was a pang of frustration behind Yani's mother's words. How not. When other girls crave a grand and luxurious wedding, Anan does not even want it.

"Tante, there's nothing more important than my mother's healing. So Anan please, Auntie would agree to my decision." Yani's mother is completely confused by Anan's decision. He does not know, whether to agree or persuade Anan to undo his intentions.

Yani's mother turned her gaze to the doctor Sandra who was also staring at her.

"Nan, it's not that Mamah doesn't respect the decisions you make. But, there are some things that must be ascertained first before a person is considered allowed to donate his kidneys. It is true that those who have a blood relationship with the patient tend to have a chance to succeed. Nevertheless, we still consider the complications that can arise post-surgery. Are you ready for all the possibilities that could happen after?"

Doctor Sandra tried to give Anan some understanding. Of course, Sandra's doctor hopes Anan will consider and undo his intentions.

"Anan's ready, Mah. Whatever it is Anan's ready."

It was beyond a doctor's expectations, Sandra. Without thinking long Anan expressed his readiness for all risks.

Yani's mother's tears melted back down her cheeks.

Doctor Sandra let out a long breath.

"Well, if that's your decision, honey. But, Mama reminded me again. Surgical procedures can be performed if the donor matches the recipient."

"Thank you, Mah" Anan said with a smile. Then switch to Yani's mother.

"Tante, I'm sorry Anan. But, allow Anan to be filial to mama."

"You're not wrong, son. You don't have to apologize to Auntie. You're a good kid too. Aunty knows you're a filial son" said Yani's mother with tears streaming down the river. Same with Anan.

From the direction of the ICU door, Zidan walked up to the three. Zidan frowned seeing Anan and Yani's mother cuddling while crying sobbing.

"What's this, Mah?" he stood in front of Dr. Sandra.

Doctor Sandra glanced at Yani and Anan's mother, who was on her back, then turned to Zidan.

"We're going to Mamah's room!" invite him, pull Zidan's arm and leave Anan and Yani's mother without saying goodbye.

In doctor Sandra's room.

"What, Mah?!" zidan screeched after hearing Dr. Sandra's explanation.

"No, Mah. Anan can't do that." Zidan really does not accept Anan's decision.

"But, Honey. Anan has made up his mind. And Mama couldn't prevent it."

"Do something, Mah! Anything that could derail Anan's decision. If necessary, Mamah said that Anan's kidney was not suitable after the examination," Zidan suggested.

"Can't, honey. It violates the code of medical ethics. Falsifying data is illegal. You must know that, right?"

"Lantas, what should I do Mah, so that Anan will change his decision?" ask Zidan, frustrated.

Doctor Sandra nodded slowly.

"Your mother tried to persuade him, but he remained cool."

Doctor Sandra let out a heavy sigh.

"You better support Anan's decision and pray for him. Hopefully this is the best" said Dr. Sandra.

Zidan lowered his head. It was hard for him to accept all this. He also did not expect Anan would take this very risky decision.

"What are you thinking, Nan? You only recovered a month after the accident. Now you have to lie in a hospital gurney again. Even though this hospital is like your home, it doesn't mean you have to be sick here." Zidan satin then sighed heavily.

"Yes, Mah. Zidan come out first."

Zidan sauntered away from doctor Sandra who was still sitting in the chair in her room.

Yani's mother, whom Anan left to the ICU room, sat pensively. Anan's statement about his readiness as a donor for Mamah Yati. Her tears are shed again. In his mind he really did not approve of his nephew's decision.

From a distance, a janitor noticed Yani's mother. Today is his schedule to clean up the ICU room. Actually he was hesitant, but he was curious and wanted to ascertain who he saw. He put his cleaning equipment and stepped closer.

"Mother? Yani's mother?" she was standing right in front of Yani's mother.

Yani's mother awoke from her daydream and looked up at the person who greeted her. Then turned his gaze in another direction while wiping away his tears hurriedly. He looked back at the woman standing before him.

"It's true, it's Mom. Do you remember me?"

"Aunt Jum?"

"Yes, Mom. It's Auntie."

Yani's mother lifted her body weight and grabbed the woman who had worked as ART in her home, since marriage until finally forced to dismiss it because of uncertain financial conditions.

Mom Jum crying haru. She had not expected to meet her former employer after a year of quitting working as a domestic assistant.

"Mother, how are you?" tanyanya after loosening her embrace.

"Alhamdulillah, fine, ma'am Jum."

"No, Ma. Call me as usual." Jum's mother refuses Yani's mother to change her call.

"We're not what we used to be, ma'am. Now I'm no longer Mother's employer" said Yani's mother, smiling lightly.

"It's okay, Mom. Aunt was used to that call from Mom. After all, Auntie was happy, Mom called her that," said Ms. Jum who also smiled.

"Yes, already. Sit, Bi!" take Yani's mother.
