When Love Comes Again

Increasingly Critical

It's almost nine o'clock in the evening, Opa state has not changed. The nurse moved him to the treatment room.

"This is some medicine that must be given to patients immediately, please Mr. redeem it at the dispensary"

A nurse gave him a prescription, and Dicky headed to the dispensary downstairs at the central hospital.

After redeeming his prescription, Dicky plans to return to Opa's treatment room. Adel walked in from the hallway across from the hospital.

"Adellia?!"

Dicky approached him immediately.

"Well, Brother Dicky what's here?"

"Critical opa, Deck. He had a heart attack last afternoon. Now in the treatment room"

"Astagfirullah, then how is Opa now, Brother"

"At the supervision of a doctor. She should have been in surgery soon, but her blood pressure and blood sugar levels were still high. Doctors have not dared to take action"

They walked towards the fourth floor. As soon as the elevator doors opened Dicky and Adel walked down the hospital hallway to room 412. Adellia held her brother's arm.

As far as the front door of the room, Juan was waiting for him. Seeing Dicky walking with his sister, Juan felt a slight pain in the corner of his heart.

Adel took his Papa's hand, then kissed the back of his hand. The two of them did not greet each other, only their eyes only met and spoke.

The nurse immediately came to give insulin injections in patients, because blood sugar levels are too high, oral drugs alone are not enough to help lower it.

"Well, there's Adel's doctor" the nurse said as she walked in and saw Adellia.

"Hmmm... Don't make fun of me, Sister Mai. Hasn't passed the entrance exam yet"

"You know, I'm sure you're graduating"

Adellia chuckled at the words of the nurse of her acquaintance. Sister Mai replaced the infusion bottle with a new one.

"Mother doctor, can you help me check the patient's blood pressure?!", Sister Mai handed Adel a tension device and a stethoscope.

Adellia deftly attached the tension device to Opa's arm, then placed the end of the stethoscope on her waist. Twice Adel did the checking.

"Sistole 190 diastole 100. Very high"

"All right"

Sister Mai recorded the patient's blood pressure. Then he took several milliseconds of blood to be taken to the laboratory, to measure blood sugar levels at any time the patient. The results were submitted a few hours later.

"You knew that Sister, Dek"

"Yes, before marriage he served in the public hospital of Medan city. When I was a kid I met him in the hospital. Coincidentally his house is not far from grandfather's house"

Dicky snuggles.

VVIP treatment room, the place is very comfortable. It's air-conditioned and there's a long couch there. Dicky sat on the couch, while Adellia, who had been sitting next to him, leaned her head against Dicky's thigh.

"If you're sleepy, Brother Dicky will drive you home?!"

Adel shakes. He closed his eyes and began to fall asleep on his brother's lap. Dicky stroked Adellia's head to make her brother comfortable and sound asleep.

Soon Juan came to bring them some cans of coffee and tea bottles. Juan was stunned to see Adellia sound asleep on her brother's lap. He walked towards the cupboard in the corner of the room taking out a blanket and pillow.

Dicky raised his sister's head slowly and placed a pillow under her. Juan covered his youngest daughter.

"Why don't you take your sister home, Dicky"

"He wants to stay here. Looks like he's tired. Pity to wake up now. Papa better get home first. Tomorrow you can come by noon"

"Aren't you okay, Papa's staying?"

"Yes, Pa. Dicky later told Mr. Ujang to pick up Papa here"

Half an hour later Mr. Ujang came to pick up Juan.
