BRACKET!
The ambulance came to a halt, when it realized that there had been an accident between a motorbike and a car that collided, just a few meters in front of the ambulance.
With a reflect, Richard pressed the brake pedal in one pressure, so that the car he drove stopped in an instant and made a noise, due to friction between the car tire and asphalt.
At the same time the honking sounds of some vehicles seemed to break in the air, unpretentious to each other. Somehow the chronological occurrence, so that suddenly just happened and finally their journey was a little hampered.
Fortunately the accident did not block the whole problem, so they could continue their journey following the ambulance in front of him.
The vehicle appeared to accelerate rapidly, hoping to arrive at the intended hospital soon. Every now and then Richard pressed the horn button, when there was another vehicle slightly blocking his way. As a result, dozens of vehicles he can overtake so easily.
After nearly two hours on the way, they finally arrived at the same hospital with Aretha performing the surgery.
The ambulance stopped in front of the IGD. Several nurses at the hospital appeared to approach the patient and took him into the room to perform several examinations on the patient's body in accordance with the procedure.
Richard and Kris seemed to be waiting in front of the room, hoping the doctor would not examine David and Rangga for long. Although Rangga is not too severe, still the man still needs treatment and re-examination to ensure that his condition is fine.
Kris seemed to reach into his pants pocket, then took a cellphone. The middle-aged man put the flat object in his ear, apparently he contacted the wife who was still in the same hospital at the time.
Not long after, Mary came in their midst with Anton, while Carmila was still in her previous place, waiting for Aretha to come out of the recovery room.
"Pa, what about Dave?" ask Mary with worry. It was very visible that he was trembling. It is certain that the middle-aged woman does not want to hear bad things about the son of the puppet only as long as she is very dear and proud.
Not only Maria, Anton also asked the same thing with the same expression of worry and panic. He seemed to wait for answers from men of his age who had been a business partner and also his besi.
Kris was silent for a while, before responding to the wife's question. Somehow he had to start to explain the reality that would indeed be painful for a mother like his wife. Of course he must find the most appropriate sentence so that the wife can understand and accept the bad reality.
"Ma, I'm a patient mom .. trust me Dave will be fine. It's just that, she needs special care for a while," Kris explained with a slight hesitation.
"I mean Papa? What's the matter with Dave, Pa?" mary asked, dropping her tears.
Kris looked down for a moment, then looked back up, looking at the wife's face. "Dave's still unconscious, Ma. He had bleeding in his head, so he had to get special treatment" he explained.
In that instant, Maria was crying more and more. That was the hardest reality he had to face. Somehow he spent his days looking at the son who lay helpless. His heart is very sick. He could not imagine how much pain David would have in such a condition. He felt what David felt at the time.
"Ma, it's Ma! Patient mom, everything's gonna be fine." Kris seemed to calm his wife who was then increasingly sobbing crying for her favorite son.
"Dave, Bc ... Dave ...," he said amid his sobs.
"Yes, papa knows. But we can't do much either. All we need to do now is pray, hopefully Dave can recover soon. We have to be sure that Dave will recover" Kris explained, although he actually felt the same way as his wife.
Yes, as it is known that women always put feelings first rather than logic. And indeed, for this matter, logic is very difficult to execute. This is what happened to Mary as a mother.
"Sir Kris, did the doctor tell you how long Dave will be in a coma?" ask Anton.
"Come, Sir. It's just that there are some bad possibilities that could happen, but hopefully that doesn't happen to Dave" replied Kris.
Kris also seemed to explain what was conveyed by the doctor about David's condition in great detail to Anton and Maria. That he did so that none of them would be surprised by the bad possibility that would happen later, although he certainly hoped that it would not happen to his son.
Maria looked weak when she heard the husband's explanation. He really has no power to accept all of this. But what could he do, other than just surrender to Him? Single-minded. Yes, maybe that was the most appropriate answer of all the anxiety he was feeling, even though it was the same, it was difficult. But he was trying for that.
"Oh yeah, what about Rere's son, Mr Anton?" kris asked, focusing on Anton.
"Rere alhamdulillah has finished the operation. It's just that, now still in the recovery room, we can't meet yet" Anton explained.
"What about the baby?" Kris looked serious.
Yeah, how not? When she had to imagine the moment the princess finished the recovery process, suddenly asking her husband, what answer should she give? Because, there can be no wife who is fine, if she sees or hears her beloved husband in a bad state. And that's what he's afraid of.
Anton is afraid that Aretha will be hit by knowing the situation of her husband. And that's certain. Even more worrying, because Aretha's condition has not yet recovered. Really it makes a dilemma, should Aretha be told or better hidden for a while? Her thought.
"Yes, Lord ...," shriek Anton put on a sad expression.
It was not that he was unhappy to hear the good news, but that he felt the same way Anton felt. What if it was likely that something bad happened to David? She would never have the heart to see her son-in-law who had to take care of their twins alone. That would be a very sad thing for him.
Richard who had just noticed their conversation, he could only contemplate, whether to be sad or happy to hear it all, which he obviously cared a lot about the happiness of Aretha and also David, his best friend. However, after this how should he be happy when he saw for himself David who was lying helplessly?
***
After about thirty minutes, the doctor was able to confirm that David really had to get special care, as a result of the accident.
Kris immediately agreed and immediately took care of the administration at the hospital for the treatment process of the son. After everything was finished, David was immediately rushed to the ICU room to get special treatment there.
It coincided with Aretha who had just finished the recovery process and left the room.
Carmila and Anton seem to land a few happy kisses on Aretha's face, making Aretha feel even more happy that is so deep, after the happiness that only a few hours ago he got.
As David entered the ICU, Aretha entered the hospital room with a smile on her face, because she had managed to become a perfect woman, even though at that time he had not seen the figure of the husband beside him. However, he would be very happy, when David was present by his side, then heard the happy news. It would be a great surprise for my husband, he thought.
"Honey, congratulations ...mami is very happy to have twin grandchildren," said Carmila, after Aretha was in the hospital room.
"Thank you, Mi. I'm also happy, thanks for Mami's support all this time" replied Aretha with a face that looked slightly pale.
Not to forget, as a mother, Carmila also asked some things that Aretha may complain, after undergoing the surgery. However, thankfully it turned out that so far Aretha felt fine, there was nothing to worry about too much. Hope the woman will remain in good condition, without any complaints. Because, conditions after such surgery, most likely very vulnerable.
"Mommy doesn't have to worry, I'm fine. Even if there's something that I don't think is good, I'm sure the story is, Mami take it easy" Aretha said.
"All right then."
Aretha unceasingly received congratulations from them, including Richard.
"Darling, congratulations ... Thank you for giving us such a beautiful and handsome grandson" Maria said as she sobbed her sedan, leaving Aretha a little surprised.
Mary could no longer hold back her tears. It really hurt for him.
"Mrs ... Mama why are you crying? Shouldn't we be happy?" ask Aretha a little innocently.
Maria paused for a moment, then forced her smile. He wiped his tears and said, "It's okay, honey. Mama is just overwhelmed by the grace God has given to our family. Mama's so happy, honey."
Mary seemed to embrace the body of Aretha who was still lying on the bed. After a while, he lifted his body back up, stretching his embrace towards Aretha.
"Thank you, dear" said Maria once again.
Aretha seemed to smile in response.
"Mas David would be happy to know I gave birth to a pair of twins" said Aretha who increasingly made people who were there more visible to put on a clear face.
"Yes, sure. David will be very happy to hear it" replied Maria forced.
Aretha smiled again. "Oh yeah, shouldn't David be coming home today, why isn't he here?" ask Aretha astonished. "David not come yet?" coined.
