ONE WEEK LATER
"Mother stay home, Cha. If you want to go to your husband's office, you bring this. it's ten in the morning, if you get there it's already noon." Bu Laksmi gave a three-level row for the son-in-law.
"Many, Mum."
"If you're hungry you can eat both. People say that a plate is romantic. Although mother has never been like that." the voice of Mrs Laksmi who was in the spirit suddenly shrank. Echa grasps tightly the mother's fingers. He knows how his mother feels.
"Mother could have, I left for Panji mas office. Who knows, he's changed his mind tell me to work again." said Echa in the guyon interlude to the mother.
Ms. Laksmi thrust her hand at Echa. After the show, he got into the car. Assisted by Atik, because Echa has not recovered too much. His legs are still in the same wheelchair.
"I'm sorry, ma'am, I forgot to tell you that today there is control with a new doctor in the hospital" said Atik, who was sitting next to Echa.
"So we go to the hospital first, Tik? What's to Panji's place?" Echa's view leads to the bushel under his feet.
"It looks like we're going to the hospital first, ma'am. It's closer than Mr. Panji's office. Oh yes, Mum. Do I have to call Mr. Panji. Let him come to the hospital."
"No need. He must be busy." Echa turned her eyes outside.
The sky in the middle of the day is seen walking behind the car window, the bright blue sky makes the eyes beautiful in view, thick white clouds appear to run after each other. Echa and Atik are now in the car, the driver has turned the direction of the road flow from to Margonda is now switched to the city hospital.
He's been in Panji boyong for a week to go back to the apartment. He and also Ms. Laksmi and Atik who come to live together. There are two rooms in the apartment. The room that was once occupied by Pandawa when the man was deposed from the company. Now it is occupied by Bu Laksmi and Atik.
"Tik, if mom says anything, don't listen. He's like that because youth is different from us" said Echa starting the conversation.
"I'm happy to know Mrs Laksmi, Ms. Echa. He's a chatty rada but the guy's good. I felt like I was close to my own mother. My mother is far away in the village, she is also as good as Ms. Laksmi. It's just that my mother is much more colossal than Mrs Laksmi." Atik's story.
"Because our generation and they are different. We have been presented with advanced technological tools and more accurate information. Unlike ancient times, they were dictated by people who first became adults. One message I say what parents do not argue. Let's just slow down we love understanding to them." explained Echa.
"But do we also have to swallow their attitude raw?"
"Their goals are like that because of beliefs he considers good. So throw the bad away take the good side. My mother did too, but I also slowly understood her love." Atik nodded small. He returned to his seat more neatly. Since becoming Echa's nurse, Atik felt he had a new family. Neither Panji nor Echa treated him like a subordinate. The two always invite Atik to eat one table together. That's how she has felt since living with the couple.
The car entered the hospital. The driver and Atik help Echa out to sit in a wheelchair. After saying thank you, Echa and Atik walked into the hospital.
"Tik, it's good that you arrived." Tia said to her colleague.
"What's wrong, Tia?"
"You still remember Oki, the doctor you used to assess. He works here now" Tia said.
"Masa? Even if it's none of my business." Atik trying to cuek.
"Related?" Atik.
"This is Miss Theresia, right? It just so happens that you are waiting for doctor Oki because he will handle you now" said Tia. "Tik, take Bu Theresia to Oki's doctor's office." Atik also pushed the Echa wheelchair towards the former doctor's room ananda.
"Waalaikumsalam, come in ma'am. Oh this is Miss Theresia, yes. Who will be taking my same foot therapy. Introduce me Oki. I've been instructed to handle you. Oh yes this is my assistant named Dona," Echa received a helping hand from the girl called Dona. Echa notices Dona's ring and Oki's similar possession. "Sorry, are you married?" ask Echa.
"Not yet Bu Theresia, I just proposed to her a few days ago" said Oki turning towards the girl beside her.
Atik who heard that just looked down. Feeling claustrophobic after knowing the man she likes already has a partner.
Dona stands delivering Echa in a sitting in a gurney. Although he's not actually a health graduate. Dona helps Atik lay Echa down. Echa looked at the nurse's face, looking cloudy.
"Bak as a health worker should not be grim." said Atik.
Echa elbowing Atik. He thinks it's unethical to talk like that. Want to pout or not as long as it is not rough with the patient. "I'm sorry my assistant, ma'am" said Echa. "Together, Mother. I have many more thoughts. Forgive me." replied Dona gently.
Their talks stalled when Oki began to carry out his duties.
"Alhamdulillah Bu Echa is better. Must remain diligent in road therapy. It's been a month, Mom. Time is still in the wheelchair. I'm not going to give you any prescription just for his foot therapy" Oki said.
"Yes, Doc. I'm still in therapy at home" Echa said.
"Try Bu Echa to stand." Echa accepted the doctor's request. Slowly he walked but his legs still felt stiff. "Oh, my legs are stiff?" ask Echa. While raising a question he still tried to stand up. "Because there's still a lot of activity in the wheelchair, ma'am. As if the nerves in the legs feel pampered. Dona please take the walking stick." Dona immediately took the item instructed by Oki. "Try Bu Echa hold this."
"I'm sorry doctor, but it's not just control" Atik said.
"Yes, I want to make sure the condition of Ms. Echa's feet first. Honestly, this includes slow if only stab wounds. Come on, ma'am try to get off the gurney" said Oki.
Echa complied with Oki's doctor's request. Slowly he got up from the patient's gurney. His hand rests on one of the leg support irons. Right, his legs feel stiff. It was proven when he tried to move his legs.
" Dok, it's hard." lamented Echa.
"Slow down, Miss Theresia. Mom can move her legs one or two steps even good. So now try Miss Theresia one more step." Echa put her foot back on. Just one step he fell, thankfully held the same doctor Oki.
Finished control with doctors Oki, Echa and Atik also leave the hospital. Don't forget to thank the young doctor. Atik reminded Echa's purpose to go to Panji's office.
Echa's eyes were on a man who ran around holding a young woman. There was a sense of anxiety on the man's face. The woman's feet looked wounded.
"Doctor! Help me!" the sound of baritone screeches echoed in the hospital hallway.
Echa paddled her wheelchair towards the man. Inwardly there was a hot rumble seeing the man carrying the young girl. He was never like this, but this was like a pain running through his body.
"Tik," Atik who had been engrossed in his dress turned towards Echa. His eyes are looking at Echa's view. "Mom, it's not ...."
"We're home, Tik!" echa's face was already shedding tears.
"But, Mom."
You guys are still secretly meeting each other.
