CURSE Or GRACE
Dark Sunscreen

Ratih opened his eyelids the view in front of him nuanced white, it looks like some people are sitting next to him. In his right arm was an infusion tube that had its needle pierced into his pulse, slowly realizing that he was in the hospital room. The face of Gilang and his mother sat to his right and left. They smiled when they saw that he had opened his eyes, Ratih smiled back.

"Alhamdulillah you have realized Nduk!" Hows it? Are you all right? Does it still hurt?" Questions came from Gilang and his mother.

Ratih recalled the incident that made him lie here, he was beaten by the man who would be beaten by Gilang and his herd, he fell unconscious, he fell unconscious, what is remembered is that the man apologized and smiled kindly at him just before he hit his stomach.

"How is he doing now?" Surprisingly Ratih felt his body very fresh and had never felt this healthy before. His eyes were clearer, the air flow coming through his nose also felt smoother. His head was no longer as painful as before. Sensing such a thing he smiled and replied with a nod of his head to his mother.

Ratih tried to sit down, and it turned out that he could do it easily, a strange thing when he heard that he had been unconscious for a full day. His mind returned to the moment before he fell.

He recalled returning from a visit to work when he saw his younger brother Gilang and his accomplice snarling a man whose face was familiar to him. The man was bleeding on his head which hit him brutally on the stomach when he was still enchanted with the smile of the damn man. The man immediately ran away and chased Gilang, somehow his fate now. While Gilang was sitting next to his bed with a smile of relief to see his brother was awake and looked fine.

"That guy! Why did you hit him Gilang?" Ratih directly attacked Gilang who instantly rose blood hearing Ratih's sudden attack.

"Don't know who that guy is? He's the Panji, the son of our father's murderer!" Gilang replied with overflowing emotions, his anger coming out of his eyeballs which instantly reddened.

" Already, Galang, do not discuss the matter again, your brother just woke up, let him rest first, let's go out!" His mother immediately pulled Gilang's hand by force, but tried to keep throwing a smile of affection to Ratih. Gilang was forced to follow his mother out of the treatment room.

Shortly thereafter the nurse who was called had also come to check on Ratih's condition.

"So that's the Panji? Her face is no stranger to me." Panji is quite popular in his village especially for girls like Ratih. Ratih's brain keeps wawing through memory a few years ago. While the nurse has finished checking the state of Ratih, remove the infusion hose and some cables attached to the body Ratih. Before taking the blood sample, he nodded his head and smiled at Ratih.

"How many days have I been unconscious sister?"

"One day and one night, and your condition is now very good, but please rest for a while while waiting for the doctor and his lab results." The nurse left Ratih who was back lying down.

After some time waiting finally came a doctor who was old enough but his body still looks gallant and sturdy.

"Doctor Grace? Why is the doctor here?" Ratih immediately sat down to see who came, who was called just smiling.

"Mother Ratih did you forget that today should be your operating schedule?"

"Geez!" When he saw the calendar on the hospital wall, he was scheduled for surgery today with Dr. Grace. Doctor Rahmat is an internist surgeon, the plan today Ratih's uterus will be removed because it has been exposed to stage 3 cancer. It was this cancer that left her unable to have children and she was eventually divorced by her husband. A disease that makes him have to bury his dream of having a child from his own womb. Surgery that must be done because if not done as soon as possible will spread to other parts of the body.

"So the doctor said it should be? is it not done today? Because my condition runs out of coma can not be done? Ratih's question was more than just a desperate word coming out of his already crumpled heart.

"Operation cannot be done! it can't be done today, tomorrow or anytime!

this operation can't be done!"

"Operation can not be done because the cancer is no longer there, it is clean, we checked it many times, but it seems a miracle happened to Mrs Ratih, the disease disappeared by itself. I can't believe it myself!, but that's what happened!" Doctor Grace's eyes sparkle.

Now replacing Ratih who did not believe what he heard, many times he asked if it was true what the doctor said which was always answered with a smile and a nod of the head. Ratih covered his face with both hands, he sobbed, doctor Rahmat patted him on the shoulder several times to give him encouragement.

"This is a rare miracle, thank God, make good use of the good that God has given you." Doctor Grace said softly, he stood up, his hand still holding onto Ratih's shoulder until Ratih removed the hand from his face. The doctor smiled and bid farewell to Ratih.

Ratih stared at the departure of doctor Rahmat until the door of his room was completely closed. He still could not believe what he heard, he tried to read the file given to him, although most of them contain numbers and terms that he does not understand but it is concluded that his disease has disappeared 100 percent, he recovered normally should never be touched by cancer.

"Is this really a miracle that God has given him? Why did HE give this kindness to himself?" Inner asked.

Ratih believes he does not deserve this kindness because no good has ever been made of him. From a young age he lived a lot of fun, no matter the surrounding environment, his association was very free, often he used anti-pregnant pills, which is why he got uterine cancer. After marriage She was also rude to her husband Graduated High School she worked in the village office also because of her father's connections but still made her big head. All his arrogance collapsed the moment his father died. Her husband dared to divorce her. Even when he was convicted of having uterine cancer he actually felt worthy of receiving it as a punishment from God.

Everyone in his village knows what his father did when he became a gentile, playing a sebot of people's land, a serobot of people's wives, taking retribution at will, all the illegal money that his family. eating resulted in illness for him and formed the character of Gilang to be hard and brutal. Recalling Gilang suddenly he remembered something and bamgun hurriedly, then ran out of the room to the room of the doctor Grace.

Doctor Grace who was just about to sit up gasped in shock when the door of her nearly closed room was pushed back by Ratih who immediately took a seat in front of the doctor Grace.

"DOCTOR! The doctor remembered the doctor patient, the village lurah of Sampang Sempor, who died about two years ago?" Doctor Rahmat narrowed his eyes looking at Ratih.

"I remember! I entered this room with my father to see the doctor, the doctor allowed him to go home because my father was declared cured!" Train to keep slashing like firecrackers.

"You're Layitno's son?" Ratih nodded, doctor Grace was still staring at him.

"Doctor, what exactly is a father's disease? I knew he was sick, but he never told me!"

"Your father had coronary heart disease, blood flow to your father's heart could not flow normally, he should have operated on to put a few rings in his heart, but he refused on the grounds of cost." The doctor explained to Radih.

"Then that afternoon the doctor said that he was healed and he was so happy, I saw him so, what happened to the doctor?"

Suddenly the look on Doctor Grace's face changed, as if she had inspiration from the sky. And looked at Ratih's face with astonishment.

"I remember, the day before he was brought here unconscious, his mouth out of black blood, I thought he had a heart attack, I thought, but it turns out he got into a fight in the market Gombong and hit his opponent's punch to the point of unconsciousness!" This time the two looked at each other with wide eyes.

Ratih's face stiffened, the nerves in his hand like they were about to jump out.

"Did the two have anything to do with the doctor?"

"Let's know, it might have something to do, and maybe you're given this miracle to figure out the connection!"
