When Love Comes Again

The Life That Is Replaced

In the morning of treatment room 412, some nurses change the infusion bottle and check the patient. Oxygen hoses and infusion needles are still attached to the patient's body. Dicky who had washed his face sat on the edge of the bed after the nurses left.

"Opa, get well soon. Let's get together again" whispered Dicky in his Opa ear.

"Relse ... "

"Hmmm...."

"Lapar ..", Adel who had just come out of the bathroom was holding his hungry belly.

Dicky smile. Then walk up to Adellia.

"Wait here for a second, Brother Dicky, get breakfast first, baby"

"Yes, Brother"

Dicky left his sister in the room alone. After a while he returned with two crates of rice and two bottles of mineral water

The two of them sat on the sofa enjoying their makeshift breakfast at the hospital.

"Sister, Adel will come home for a while. In the afternoon Adel came back here. What's the big brother to bring?"

"Please bring a change of clothes"

"OK ... !!"

Czechosweek ....

Juan appears at the door with Dr. Andrew. Dr. Andreas was a friend of Juan and Yulia at Junior High School.

"Where is Adellia?", asked Dr. Andreas to Dicky.

"He came home this morning, Oom. He'll be here again this afternoon"

"Hmmm. I'm glad to see you guys get along like that, Juan. Finally your family can be whole again. It's just a pity ... "

"If only Amel could survive. She must have been as big and beautiful as Adellia"

"Amel? Who is he, An?"

" Uh... Jangam says you don't know who Amel is? Didn't Yulia tell you guys?"

"No. Tell me. What's the matter"

"Amellia is Adellia's twin sister"

Juan and Dicky looked at each other. They were very surprised to hear it. Neither Yulia nor Yudha said that. I don't know if they might not have the chance to tell a story.

"When I was on duty in Medan, I met Yulia. At that time he will enter the operating room to undergo a cesarean section. It was a colleague of mine who tackled him"

"Julia gave birth to a pair of twin daughters. One of the babies is not in good condition. His body was cold and blushing. The second baby was released experiencing shortness of breath. A month she was in an incubator to make her body color normal"

"While the first baby is healthy. Normal. She was named Amellia. The little one is called Adellia. His heart condition is healthy. It's just that it may be due to the psychological condition of her mother during pregnancy. And the lack of nutritious food intake during pregnancy"

"Then? How could one of those babies die, An?"

"Adellia's baby was in the incubator for a month. The condition of his body at that time was not as strong and healthy as baby Amel. Amel grew healthy, agile and fat. The opposite is true of Adellia. He's easily sick"

The whole room was stunned to hear the story of Andreas' doctor, Juan felt a pain and tightness in one corner of his heart. It was painful to listen to his daughter's suffering.

"To be exact when the twins were seven months old, Adel re-entered the treatment room. High fever and vomiting. Infusion and oxygen hoses were installed in his small body. Three days later Amel fell ill"

"High body temperature makes baby Amel spasm. And ... And he didn't last long, the next four hours he was beyond help. But the miracle happened to Adellia, a few days later her condition gradually improved. Even until now there were no complaints from him"

"Amel gave the rest of his life to Adellia, his twin. Miracles that are beyond human reason, only the power of God can be so. Yudha is so protective of her younger sister"

Juan felt weak all over his body, his heart as if slashed to hear the story. The guilt of abandoning her youngest daughter further weighed on her heart.
