Adel felt his whole body became weak when he heard the explanation from the doctor about the disease that his grandmother suffered. During this time the grandmother never once complained about her health, or Adel who is not sensitive about the health of the grandmother. Adel more time spent outside the house compared with grandmother. not because of the desire and intention of Adel, a situation that requires Adel to live a life like this.
There were no words Adel could express about how he was feeling at the moment, sitting on the hospital floor hugging her legs is the best way Adel can do this time to organize her broken heart and calm her mind.
David lets Adel alone, quieting his mind without bothering.he knows that at the moment Adel is still in shock, it takes time to make him come back.
As the doctor tries to get close to Adel, David gives the code to stay away. At least this is all David can do to protect Adel at this time so as not to get hurt even deeper.
"I'll take full responsibility for the hospital costs" said David, who seemed to know what the doctor would say despite not saying a word.
"Sir, the patient needs immediate action" said the doctor again, in addition to the cost there are other things that are more important to do at this time.
David looked for a moment at Adel, maybe David could afford all the hospital and medical expenses but he did not have full authority to make a decision.
However, Adel is the family of the only patient who is here and now, while David is not the family of the patient.
"Give me ten minutes to talk to the patient's family" David said, asking for time, speaking slowly
It was heavy for David to wake Adel from his solitude in setting the heart, not a matter that easily takes a blow in such a way. There is no one who is accompanying and can be contacted as a family, David is able to feel what Adel is currently experiencing.
"Adel.." said David softly by touching Adel's shoulder slowly, it was hard to wake the girl to face the reality that was in sight.
Adel raised his puffy face, his mind completely muddled at the moment.
"Doctors need decisions about grandmothers as soon as possible" he said carefully and gently.
Adel rubbed his rough face and took a deep breath, it was not the time to be sad or act as if the world would be destroyed today. There are grandmothers who currently need encouragement.
"Whatever the doctor thinks is good, Adel will come along." that was the best decision Adel could make, at least the doctor knew more about what to do than he did.
David held up his hand and rubbed Adel's hair gently, however this time was a heavy situation but Adel tried not to dissolve in emotions too deeply and tried to toughen up.
"And for the cost, please pay first. later Adel will change if you have met mama." There is no other way but to rely on the man who is now in front of him but that does not mean Adel uses him and wants to take advantage of all these events. However the name of the debt must remain in pay whatever the reasons and circumstances.
"that's..."
****
The operation went as smoothly as expected even though it took quite a long time and made the two waiting people feel uneasy.
try to like the iron that pacing, which is like Adel doang. if David sat down with a henchman while looking at Adel who went back and forth not because of it and occasionally looked at the door of the operating room with anxious hope.
The doctor said that if Grandma had stage 3 brain cancer that made Adel feel weak, this night Adel never saw grandmother showing any symptoms or grandmother never looked sick. but of all the reasons, Adel feels very guilty for being an insensitive grandson and does not know how the grandmother is doing all this time even though they live under one roof and meet every day.
the guilt that Adel could not express with words and only deep regret that Adel now felt.
"Adel?"
A middle-aged yet still very beautiful and graceful woman came half-running towards Adel with a very anxious face.
the sound of her footsteps broke the silence of the hospital corridor.
"How's grandma doing?"
"mama?" suddenly Adel's eyes glazed over when he saw mama come and hold his hand.Tears that had been eager to spill and restrained were now finally unable to be weir, "Ma, Mah, Adel was afraid of ma.." he said, hugging the woman he missed so much.
The woman is the mother of Adel, since he got a text message from his daughter he immediately went to meet. to the address that Adel gave despite how many times trying to contact always failed.
"I'm sorry Mama Adel .. mama really didn't know, not what she meant.." The two women broke out in a bitter cry breaking the silence of the hospital corridor. fortunately, the operating room is quiet again, if it will not disturb other patients.
There is nothing to do except cry and mourn. It is not an easy choice to die a mother who has raised and sang and her daughter, demanding circumstances like this. economic factors and survival is what makes it a child as well as a mother who looks to leave her only parents and her oldest daughter. However persuaded, Adel never budged to come along and insisted on staying with the grandmother.
It is a difficult choice, but it is impossible to choose to live together when the husband is on duty in a different city. After all, his eldest daughter requires a fee for school and living. Very lucky, though, finding a man who was able to receive and give a living as well as the full cost of living and education for his daughter despite the one he sent every month was hardly touched on the grounds that Adel was still he can make his own money and he will use it someday for college costs.
"Don't pa-pa, mama is already here. don't be afraid, mama is there kok. sure that everything will be fine." hugging tightly and gently stroking Adel's hair, Adel, even though the words that come out of the mouth are very different from what is in the heart.
Adel immersed himself in that warm embrace, however, this was the most comfortable and warm embrace he so longed for.
