At the End of the Waiting (Love of the Soldier)
CHAPTER 8. Watch over you
The gripping night had now turned into a bright morning. Pandu and Tara who had just entered the room Andra smiled looking at Viara who was still asleep while holding Andra's hand. Andra who began to wake up moved her fingers and slowly opened her eyes
"Don't you realize?" Ask Pandu
"Yes bang, where am I?" Asked Andra with a hoarse voice
"You're in the hospital bang, for chasing rioters two days ago, brother was shot in the right shoulder" Pandu explained. Andra glanced sideways and smiled at Viara who was sleeping next to her with Viara's hand clasping her hand tightly.
Andra raised her hand to wake Viara, but Andra stopped her actions hearing Pandu's words
"Wait a bang, he just fell asleep" prevent Pandu
"What's going on? Why did he just fall asleep?" Andra asked confused
"As long as my brother is in the hospital, he who is always there receives my brother here. Overnight brother has a high fever, so Viaralah is the one who takes care and takes care of brother last night" Pandu back to tell about Viara who always accompanied Andra until Andra showed her smile. Andra smiled at Viara and gently rubbed Viara's head covered in hijab. Viara who felt that someone was rubbing her head woke up and smiled sweetly at Andra who had opened her eyes
"Abang is awake?" Viara asked with a typical hoarse voice of waking up
"If you don't wake up, who's looking after you. Protecting the person who was secretly taking care of me at night" at once Viara's face red blushed at Andra's words.While Andra held back a laugh seeing Viara's adorable face, Viara's,
"Well, it seems like our situation is not right" said Tara
"Yes well deck, then we'll just go out" Tara nodded and started walking out with Pandu
"Sir tara, bang Pandu don't come out" Inner Viara saw the door that began to fall. Andra who felt very thirsty would take mineral water on the nightstand but Andra was struggling because the wound on his shoulder was still painful. Realizing that, Viara swiftly took the mineral water and helped Andra to drink it
"Thank you deck"
"Together bang" Viara smiled back.
"now my brother eats. Who's bribe or brother eats himself?" Viara asked as she held a pot of porridge in her hand
"The first choice is good deck" said Andra make Viara face again red blushing. With a bismillah speech, Viara painstakingly feeds Andra and sometimes Viara gently rubs Andra's chin because of the food marks that spill and are stuck there. Andra was surprised to see Viara's sudden action but in her heart smiled to see there was a teenage girl who always looked after her
"Alhamdulillah, brother wait here well, adek bring this dirty dish to the kitchen first. Adek will be back soon" said Viara, who was embraced by Andra with a smile.
Rena who has since seen Viara's attention to Andra becomes furious and will retaliate to Viara. As Viara exited Andra's nursery, Rena smiled cunningly and walked after Viara. Feeling the opportunity, Rena with all her might pushed Viara's body until Viara lost her balance staggered backward, lucky that Viara's body was immediately captured by the burly hand that was embracing her tightly
"Dad" said Viara smiling. Vian returned his daughter's smile and instead stared intently at Rena as if he was ready to kill her
"What are you doing Rena, is this how you behave towards hospital visitors?" Firmly doctor Rangga who participated in observing the rude actions of Rena while traveling around the hospital with Vian
"Ma. forgive me doctor" said Rena terrified.
"Immediately pack your belongings and go find a job in another hospital" said Dr. Rangga
"But doctor"
"No Rena, if only once I can forgive you. But if your rude attitude doesn't change even if you act again, then I can't tolerate it anymore. Please the exit is across the street" said doctor Rangga pressing every sentence.Rena felt very embarrassed and immediately ran away while crying as you pleased
"Viara, are you okay, son?" Ask Vian softly
"Viara is okay dad" Viara smiled sweetly at her father
"Dad you want to go again?" Ask Viara slowly. Vian who knew that his daughter was holding back a cry stroked her head and carried her into his arms
"Dad son, I'm sorry. I'm only stopping here for a while to deliver the drugs. After that, I have to go back to work"
"Dad Viara's father understood. Father's spirit, take care of yourself, Viara dear father" said Viara trying to smile and greet his father's hand
"Thank you for understanding, son. Dad go first well Assalamu'alaikum my daughter"
"Father's walaikumsalam" Viara smiled back and waved her hand at her father. After delivering the dirty dishes to the hospital kitchen, Viara again stepped foot into Andra's nursery
"Dec, eat first. Tara brought you some food. You must be hungry too" Andra said after Viara entered the room
"No bang, adek not hungry" said Viara opposite because his stomach immediately sounded loud
"Oh, can you cooperate with me belly" Viara's inner gaze lowered her gaze while Andra held back laughter looking at Viara's blushing face
"Eat the deck, your body also needs nutrients"
"Well bang" Viara replied and immediately approached the table in the room. Viara opened the mask she always wore and started eating food greedily. Andra who was curious about Viara's face wanted to see that face, but Viara's position behind her made Andra difficult to see Viara's face
"How is the form hidden behind the mask" Andra's inner self continued to observe Viara's back
Not long after, nurse Tara entered Andra's room to check the condition and change the bandage on Andra's shoulder
"Excuse me bang, I checked the condition first" said Tara, who is owned by Andra. Tara began to check on Andra's condition and smiled as Andra's condition grew healthier and the poison in her body slowly disappeared
"Suster, my shoulder hurts well" said Andra who began to grimace in pain. After asking for permission, Tara slowly unbuttoned Andra's shirt until Andra was bare-chested. Tara was stunned to see the blood that kept flowing out of the bandage on Andra's body, even her bandage had changed color. Viara who heard the ringing sound of Andra immediately put on her mask back and walked closer to Andra's gurney
Tara controls her breath and begins to touch Andra's bandage, but when she opens the bandage Andra grimaces back in pain so Tara hesitates to do so
"What's wrong, brother, why didn't the band open?" Viara asked worriedly
"Can't deck, when brother touches it, patient feels pain. So you do not dare to open it" said Tara sigh
"Let's try it out, brother"
"Dad please deck" said Tara smiling.
Viara closed her eyes and began to pray, and with the words of bismillah, Viara touched the bandage and slowly opened it. Andra smiled seeing Viara who was seriously opening her bandage
"Abang got curious about your face deck" Andra kept staring at Viara with a smile until she forgot the pain on her shoulder. Viara carefully opened the bandage so that Viara did not care about her red hand exposed to the blood on the bandage.
After finishing opening the bandage, Viara observed that the wound on Andra's shoulder was deep and still bleeding. Viara picked up the cotton that Tara had brought and started to clean the blood that kept coming out and rubbed it gently so that Andra would not feel any pain. Viara glanced at Andra's face feeling her cheeks back heating up because Andra was also looking at her while smiling sweetly at her
Tara smiled at the closeness of the two people in front of her
After clearing Andra's chest, Viara put the medicine in Andra's wound and put a new bandage back in
"Thank you for taking good care of me. You're like my guardian angel. If you hadn't come to my aid yesterday I might have lost my life. Thank you for your kindness and concern for me. If God permits, in the future I will take care of you always"
