ATIQA
Chapter 82: ICU

Days change, months change. Atiqah pregnancy age has entered the ninth month. An enlarged stomach slightly inhibits its activity. Thunder always helped him for everything. People think Thunder is her husband.

"Mas pinter find wife. Still young, beautiful again" said a woman who was pregnant like Atiqah. The swipe was when Guntur accompanied Atiqah shopping for baby equipment at one of the big malls in Yogyakarta.

"But ma'am," Thunder tried to dodge but Atiqah instead performed a play in front of the woman.

"Thank you for the compliment, Mom. It is precisely me who is lucky to have such an attentive husband," Atiqah embraced Thunder's left arm. Thunder looked clumsy, he smiled stiffly as he nodded.

"I'm dadi meri. Mesaake me to mas? Blonjo akeeh koyo ngene, I'm dewean. Jo bojo, bojo ku cen mangkeli tenan. Pas gawe sregep, uh jebul wes meteng koyo ngene in lungo residence. Semprul (I'm jealous. Is it sorry for me mas? Shopping a lot like this, I'm alone. My husband is a bitch. Time to do the spirit, uh already pregnant like this even in staying away. Damn it)," said the woman fondly remembering her husband who went nowhere.

Thunder still smiled stiffly. Atiqah understood from the woman's tone, there was a problem with her husband. Atiqah just gave a sad look.

"Patience ma'am" Atiqah rubbed the woman's shoulder and went to the cashier. His hand holding Thunder was still there.

Atiqah did that because he was also disappointed with Ardi. She wanted to feel how she was driven here and there by her husband, not another man.

"I'm sorry Thunder, I don't mean anything. I also know what Rasain's mother was. I miss my husband" Atiqah wiped the corner of his eye.

"Yes mbak, I understand," said Guntur while helping Atiqah wear seatbelt.

"Thank you," he said, then opened the phone screen. Check if there is a message from her husband.

"Why mbak?" thunder asked after hearing Atiqah's breath.

"My HP is rich in graves, deserted. He has absolutely nothing to do with me. I was pregnant this big. Just wait for the date, but he does not have to worry about me," complained Atiqah.

"Maybe Ardi was busy mbak," Thunder's speech sounded annoying in Atiqah's ear.

"What kind of possibility is mas? if you want to entertain me, use words that make sense. Is Ardi busy with the president? he's still in school. Ah already, the more sebelumnya," Atiqah mood returned bad.

Thunder scratched his head that was not itching. Indeed, during this time Thunder spent more time with Atiqah, was used to the mood swing pregnant women but Thunder will always lose.

"Almost to the stall Mr. Sukir. I want an elephant skull," chirped Atiqah as the car that Thunder was driving towards home. The car just arrived at Jalan Kaliurang Km 7.

*The elephant here is not a real elephant animal. Just a term for a large portion.

"That's a lot of port. Atiqah ma'am sure you want to eat that?" ask Thunder.

"There is thunder. We're up to both of us" Atiqah looked at Thunder with a sinless smile. The thunder will surely melt.

The car enters a large yard that is transformed as a parking lot. The thunder helped Atiqah open the door and the seatbelt.

"Where do you want to sit?" ask Thunder. The two of them circulated their gazes in search of a comfortable seat.

"There is a mas," point Atiqah at a small saung on the right side.

The day was not too crowded, Atiqah more freely. Orders do not wait long. One serving of a spicy elephant neck is served with two servings of white rice and also two glasses of sweet iced tea.

Atiqah eyes sparkle. It felt like he wanted to quickly finish the food that was in front of him.

"Sir, eat slowly. It's very painful," said Guntur, he had just tasted a little bit of his sauce.

"Yes yes," Atiqah immediately picked up the large piece that she moved onto the rice plate.

"Bak for a moment, there's a phone from home," Thunder wiped his hand with a tissue and picked up the phone.

"Hello .." said.

"Tour, Eyang ... Eyang" mbok Jum's voice vibrated.

"Ono opo mbok? (what's wrong mbok?) Why why?" thunder asked, he panicked but tried to calm down. Atiqah put the bone that was in his sip.

"Eyang tibo neng bathroom. Semapen. Cepet mulih saiki! (That fell in the bathroom. Fainted. Hurry home now!)" mbok Jum. Thunder straightened his body and helped Atiqah stand up.

"Mbok, call the doctor. I'm going home now," Thunder instantly turned off his phone.

"What mas? why Eyang?" Atiqah held the hand of Thunder, following the footsteps slowly down the steps of the saung stairs.

"Eyang fainted. Falling in the bathroom. We're going home now, aren't we?" stupid question Thunder. It is clear that Atiqah will return home. The old man he had already considered like his own grandfather, there was no way Atiqah would not worry.

Atiqah and Thunder did not say much during the journey home. Luckily the distance was not too far from home.

"Pelan-pelan aja mbak - memapah Atiqah down from the car-Mbok ... Please help Mbak Atiqah," Thunder called mbok Jum who was standing waiting for them.

Thunder went straight to Subroto's room. There were already two house guards who helped lift Subroto to the top of the bed.

"Where is Eyang mbok?" ask Atiqah while walking inside.

"Mbok don't know mbak. Mbok is afraid," said mbok Jum. His hands were shaking, Atiqah felt it because Mbok Jum holding his arm helped walk.

"Jas. We pray that everyone is well. Mbok don't panic," Atiqah rubbed Jum's hands.

Atiqah sat on the sofa next to Subroto's bed while waiting for the doctor to finish checking.

"Mas Guntur, we'd better take Mr. Subroto to the hospital. He had a stroke. This is the second time. We have to check what the exact condition is like," the explanation of the doctor greatly shook Atiqah. He immediately got up to hold his stomach.

"Okay doc, the sooner the better," Guntur agreed.

"Maos ..." Atiqah holds the arm of Thunder.

"Yes mother?" Thunder. Doctors along with assistants and two housekeepers helped move Subroto to the ambulance bed (ambulance stretchcher).

"Have you ever had a stroke?" ask Atiqah. Thunder nodded. The melt of tears could not be Atiqah.

"Don't worry mbak. Don't be sad, gini. We pray that Eyang is healed," Thunder rubbed Atiqah's shoulder and hugged her.

Hospital vaults were pushed quickly by medics. Subroto was taken to the ICU. Atiqah at home with mbok Jum. The thunder asked him to stay home. The condition of her pregnancy actually makes Thunder worried if too tired.

"You're on the phone so hard-crying as you like-you're evil! I'm here again pregnant but you have no news. Do you not love me anymore? yeah?- Wiping your nose with tissues-Eyang had a stroke, now in the hospital. I'm the same as Mbok Jum at home. I'm afraid, I'm confused" Atiqah said at length as her phone was picked up by Ardi.

"Those sick? okay, I'm there right now, "without a stale ado Ardi directly snatched the jacket and wallet on the table.

Atiqah was happy but also upset. Ardi did not apologize at all and asked how he was doing.

Seriate...
