Cambodian Ward
Chapter 16 ~ Sacrifice


I turned towards the hospital, where I worked. The building under construction is still in contact with the hospital I'm in. Mother did not clearly tell Doni's condition, making my head suspect the various. I hope the condition is not too bad.


Running along the hospital corridor to the ER, there was no mother there. According to the officer already in the action room. I headed back to the sixth floor, the operating room. Lucky I memorized some of the areas here, it doesn't make it difficult for me to find Mom and Bang Doni.


“Mother,” call me.


The mother sitting in the waiting chair turned her head, her face was already wet. We embraced, in our hearts, both hoping that Doni would be safe.


“Accident, how's Mom? Is the action done?”


Mother could only shake her head slowly, while pointing at the tightly closed operating room. I sighed softly, asking Mother's questions would not yield any information. It had been more than fifteen minutes I was sitting in silence staring at the operating room door, my phone was shaking.


“Halo.”


“Mel, there was an accident in the construction of sky tower. There are several fatalities, you think it has nothing to do with the pesugihan?”


I looked at Mom.


“Bu, what bang Doni accident at work?”


“Iya.”


“Mel, what do you mean? Who's Doni?”


“I'm in the hospital, Bang Doni my brother. He's one of the victims of tower sky. Sorry Ndra, for now I'm just focusing on Bang Doni's safety. Frangipani ward problem, I don't care.”


It's been almost two hours but there is no sign of the operation is over, even the day has begun at night. There are three people from the company bang Doni to see Mother, conveying all medical costs will be borne by the company. They also expressed their deep sorrow for the accident that occurred.


“Bu,” call me to take Mom to the action room door because the operating sign light has gone out. I rushed to the door and stood there. Sure enough, not long before two doctors came out, one of them called us a family of patients.


“Patients on behalf of Doni, suffered neck and head injuries there are also abdominal injuries. The operation went well, we both pray that the patient can be immediately aware and there are no complications.”


She heaved a sigh of relief and sat back down, not with me. Bang Doni is not safe if he has not opened his eyes and is aware. We moved to the observation room, still on the sixth floor. I've bought a drink and some snacks, even though we didn't touch.


The observation room consists of a glass room, although we have not been allowed to enter at least can see the condition of Bang Doni. Mother was sitting with her tired and sleepy head. Luckily I was still wearing a jacket, awake in the hospital corridor that felt cold either because of air conditioning or indeed the night air.


There is not much movement in this area, rather more crowded on the other side precisely in the operating room. There were only five people waiting for observation patients including me and mom.


"Mom." It looks like Mom is so tired, I stopped waking her up.


Suddenly my body shuddered and the atmosphere felt gripping. I looked around and there was only me awake because it was past midnight. My eyes were on the figure passing by. Ghosts who take away lives or takers of spirits what is the name. The figure headed for the observation room. I'm standing, don't bang Doni for his purpose.


“Hei!” my screams were already in front of the glass seeing that figure touching Doni.”'s bodyMove away from there. Sister,” I keep shouting while hitting the glass hoping someone comes and stops the creature. Although it is impossible, because not necessarily others can see it.


“Bang Doni, wake up!” yell again.


“Mbak.”


Deg.


That voice, I recognized a soft voice as if it sounded so close. Voices .. Ningrum. With tears already dripping down my cheeks for fear of something happening with bang Doni, I turned my head. Turns out right, there's Ningrum there. His figure looks so pitiful.


“Ningrum, sorry. I can't help you.”


“Mbak, stop all this. Only you can.”


I shook my head not knowing what Ningrum meant. I have to stop all this, meaning a cure. While I don't know how and bang Doni is in danger, my focus right now is only on Doni's safety.


“I can't, my family is in danger.” I pointed inwards where there was Doni and that creepy creature. Shouts came back out of my lips looking at bang Doni's body like a seizure from being touched by the devil.


However …


Trangs.


The sound of a chain then the demon beside Doni bounced, I was surprised. It turned out that there was a chain connected between Ningrum and the Devil that was currently growling and dragging Ningrum. I followed them while shouting as I could.


“Mbak, I've helped your brother. Stop all this, do not let there be any more victims,” said Ningrum. “Man who fails to become a victim will not be a victim. Don't waste my sacrifice.”


“Ningrum,” I said seeing a tormented Ningrum being dragged by the demon then disappearing. “Ningrum.”


The sound of emergency medical equipment.


“Bang Doni,”


From behind the glass I watched bang Doni in action, there was a response from his body that began to realize.


“Abang,” I said.


Could Ningrum have saved the man, then how should I stop the boarding in the frangipani ward.


“Mel. Why your brother?”
