Between Two Hearts
Chapter 120

Dark? Why dark? Dara tried to open her eyes, a shadow, like a dark shadow calling her name soft.

"Darling..."

Dara felt a faint all over her body, she wanted to open her eyes but her eyelids were heavy.

"Dear, wakeup. Shouldn't we go together?" Dara was stunned, the voice was so clear in her ears, the voice of Windu, her husband.

"Go? Go where?" the question wanted to be asked but only up to his throat.

But, he could not open his eyes, even though he had tried, he said,

"Am I.. already dead?" His skull was cramping, he never felt his body this heavy.

How scared we are when we face death. Especially when facing alone, lonely, cold and dark. There is only yourself. No one was guiding, it was extremely frightening as it turned out, and Dara suddenly felt terrified in the dark that enveloped her.

As vigorously as he opened his eyes, and fought the darkness that filled his fertilizer.

Slowly, light entered his eyes, and he found no one in front of him, except for a white shadow.

"Darling..." The voice called out to him again, right from the side, but Dara's head felt heavy to turn around.

"Thank you, ma'am. Mr. Windu has faithfully called your name from earlier, he can't wait to see the madam sober."

It was a familiar voice, too, the voice of Parmi.

As much as Dara's energy gathered her consciousness. And she knew, God gave her a chance to be with her husband and son to start a new chapter.

...***...

(One month later)

Dara hugged Windu's neck, from behind, they both sat staring at the glass wall of their apartment.

Above the sky of Singapore stars appear to be scattered over the sky.

"I can't even believe I can see this sky with you anymore." Windu said, his face fresh in the light.

After the operation a month ago, Windu recovered. He and Dara survived with one kidney each and they are now truly one in the real sense.

After the surgery is complete, the team handling Dara and Windu will keep an eye on their blood pressure, electrolytes and fluid balance.

Although Windu was first conscious post-surgery, but Dara recovered faster, Dara only needed medication to relieve pain during the recovery period. Sometimes it does feel pain when coughing and taking deep breaths, but this will improve over time. Dara sometimes goes home to the Apartment to meet Sunny, but she remains in monitoring.

During this one month, Windu was in intensive care at the hospital, to pass his observation and critical period. Windu is also required to do blood tests at all times of control and routinely take anti-rejection drugs (immunosuppressant drugs).

Dara was sometimes sad to see how Windu's hair became tangled and so fragile when he combed it, his gaze became a little blurred, because of the effect of taking anti-rejection drugs in his drinking organs. But doctors assure this is not forever, Windu's body just needs to adjust to his new kidney.

Fortunately, there was no organ rejection, the doctor who handled it was stunned, so the match of the donor and prescription organs for this time. They both seemed destined.

Today, Windu was allowed to return to his apartment after months in the hospital,

"Mr Windu can go home but still routine control for 2 times a week, jafi advised Mr. Windu to be in the city first. Avoid strenuous exercise first. Do not forget to drink water at least 2 liters per day. Food choices for transplant patients also vary with low-fat, low-sugar, low-salt and high-fiber requirements. Oh, aye...Patients are also advised to drink milk and seafood at the beginning of the week after transplantation to prevent hypophosphatemia. Avoid foods such as cheese, yogurt, raw eggs, mayonnaise to prevent Listeria bacterial infection. Avoid the consumption of wine and its preparations because it can reduce the effects of anti-rejection drugs."

The doctor gave them a long and wide speech before granting them their return.

"I've missed seeing Sunny so much, just seeing her through a video call was not enough. I'm bored in this white room, too, I really want to go home." Said Windu, although still more often sitting in a wheelchair. Sometimes Dara wet him walk slowly, getting used to his legs so as not to stiff.

"Dear, thank you." Windu's voice broke into silence, though,

"You've given me many opportunities in my life, even since you came to me still in the womb in my childhood, I didn't realize that you had made a bond with me." Windu could no longer hold back a single tear hanging from the corner of his eye.
