...Don't you know if you've meant so much to me in my life? And if you still do not believe what is said from my mouth then. ...
...----------------...
That afternoon, at eleven o'clock in the afternoon. Ervin started to check on the condition of the heart, Laura's right chamber. With a sense of hope accompanied by anxiety, Ervin should be able to toughen up when handling his own wife's condition.
“If my condition gets worse, do I have to have surgery soon?” asked Laura with anxiety.
“Do not think of things that are beyond our reason. We are just ordinary people. Wishing a good yes dear, we pray together.” Ervin rubbed the top of Laura's head gently.
“Now, lie down! Brother will check Adek.” Laura nodded.
Laura lay on top of the gurney in Ervin's room. After that, Ervin began to check his heart rate and other checks. After examining Ervin develops a smile so that Laura does not have thoughts that will hit her heart.
Laura's current thoughts and blood pressure should be prioritized in Ervin's life, in addition to foods that have balanced nutrition.
“Pretty good! Keep it from keeping up the excess anger huh, dear. If you are really tired, take a break. If you are in the point of saturation when facing the test of Allah SWT then, complain to the power... Allah SWT.” Ervin gives a hug as Laura's booster.
Laura nodded, she felt so lucky to get a husband figure who always gave her understanding and attention. And those two things have become opium in Laura's life.
“Abang will make a prescription, later Brother will also clear the medicine at this hospital pharmacy. Do not forget to drink yes after arriving home later.” Ervin rubbed the top of Laura's head and then, a smile was seen from Ervin's lips with a thousand sincerity.
Ervin wrote down a prescription for a drug he had to redeem for Laura. Drugs that are not arbitrary drugs, must be consumed for the prevention of unwanted things.
“Mbak, I want to redeem the medicine. Here's the recipe.” Ervin handed him a piece of paper that he had inked on it.
“Good, Doc. Please wait!”
The young man in charge of guarding the pharmacy immediately read the prescription of drugs taken by Ervin. Diuretic drugs, drugs that are so important to remove fluid buildup and lower blood pressure. ACE inhibitors, Aldosterone Antagonists, Anticoagulants and Beta-blockers.
All these drugs should be consumed every day Laura. How painful Ervin's heart when he saw his wife had to consume these drugs. It felt like there was a sharp dagger piercing his heart.
“Doctor Ervin, please take his medicines!” tell the woman who is guarding at the pharmacy.
“Thank you, for helping me, Ma'am Mia.” Ervin was always friendly with everyone.
“Sama-sama, Doc!” reply the woman with her hospitality.
Ervin immediately headed to the VVIP room, where the room was none other than Leon's inpatient room. Laura is there accompanying Humaira who is still persuading Leon to talk to Humaira.
Because there is an elevator that speeds up to the VVIP room on the second floor, Ervin does not need to take up to a dozen minutes. It's five minutes to Leon's room.
“Abang has redeemed the medicine?” Laura welcomes the newly arrived Ervin.
Ervin nodded, then he gave the medicine he held to Laura. Afterwards, Ervin looked at the situation around. Still in a quiet mood.
“What... Leon still hasn't talked to you, Humaira?”
“Not yet. Perhaps, to him I was a woman who was not in his eyes anymore. Even his heart might not have my name there. It's sad, yes, if this is how it is. The man we expect his presence is not expecting our presence.” Humaira began to tear up.
Laura hugged Humaira from behind, rubbing her arms gently to give her strength so that Humaira could stand up to all the trials.
“Indeed hard to believe. But, I will try to talk to Leon, God willing his heart will melt meksipun .. will be a little difficult when meluhnya later.”
“Now you accompany Laura home, Humaira. You don't have any more check-ups, do you? You see, I still have to stay in the hospital, there is an impromptu surgery schedule at one o'clock in the afternoon.”
It was painful to leave the hospital with a heart still tossed. But, given if, that day is not the right day to stand still maintaining love. Because every relationship must have a distance to improve that relationship.
“Alright! But..”
“Not to worry, I will try.” Ervin understood what Humaira meant.
Humaira nodded. Before Laura left the hospital Ervin always gave a kiss on Laura's forehead. It felt comfortable, serene and peaceful in Laura's heart when she kissed for a little while. Ervin felt the same way. And both feel there is a heat that heats up in the whole body, blood that spreads as if it were boiling to feel the pleasure that is there.
“Yes already! Later if Abang has returned home in a connection again,” said Ervin without having shame.
“Ih, shy to know, Bang. Time yes speaking so in front of everyone,” great-grandson Laura.
“What else, we are, it is halal. No sins loh.” Ervinasih tried to defend himself.
Laura and Humaira leave the hospital. And after that, Ervin asked permission to enter Leon's room with Mr. Fatih and other families.
“We all believe in you, son Ervin. You can definitely melt her heart so hard.” Mr. Fatih patted Ervin's sturdy shoulder.
Ervin nodded. Ervin entered, he let Leon who was closed. Either really sleep is just an alibi so that no one airs the sound when they meet.
However, an Ervin cannot be lied to easily. The friendship that intertwined almost two years to make Ervin so memorized to the figure of Leon and what kind of character.
“Don't lie to me, you! You're not good at lying in front of me. Look, your face shows clearly if, you're just pretending to sleep.” Ervin took a seat next to Leon's gurney.
Leon who paled to the owner of the voice, he opened his eyes slowly. A hint of pain was implied in Leon's eyes. And Leon was really not good at hiding his sadness while in front of Ervin.
“Why don't you want to see him? The time you have should be able to use it well, because we will never know where and when we will face the Divine.” The stern voice rebelled, asking for an explanation.
“You never know what I'm going through, Vin. I could've left, without you explaining where and when, to me. I am quite aware of my current condition. If I had surgery I wouldn't be able to fully heal me and restore me to a normal life like I used to.”
A glimpse of the shadow of happiness between Leon and Humaira when it used to pass in Leon's eyes. And Leon just smiled wryly, given the fact that he could no longer enjoy the beautiful things he used to.
“Leon or Tara I know is not like this. And you don't know how I'm facing God's trials right now... Spicy.”
“As long as you know, Leon. My heart aches to see that every day my wife takes hard drugs to keep her life. However, I do not give up or even retreat from my current position, and I will still stand up to fight for the happiness that exists.”
Ervin, who often lives the bitterness in his life is now back slapped by the world who asks him to stay strong, is, must be able to strengthen his shoulders while carrying all the burdens that exist and now Ervin will not easily give up even though, still God is in power.
The deg!
Leon who had turned his face, did not want to look at his best friend immediately turned his head. Look at the tears that have been pooled at the end of Ervin's eye patch.
“What are you going through, Vin? What happened to your wife?” ask Leon who has the attraction to hear more about the story of his best friend.
“Laura has Congestive heart failure (congestive heart failure) and more precisely it. And if it gets worse then it will soon undergo heart bypass surgery or even it could have to undergo a heart transplant.”
“My heart aches, but I'm forced to be strong here, Leon. Because I wouldn't be afraid of a farewell if it would end beautifully. Rather than me parting in the grief that wrapped his heart. In the rest of the time I wish there was a speck of happiness that God gave us, a pair of lovers that God chose in the world.”
Ervin wiped away the tears that had dripped, soaking his cheeks. Maybe if out there Ervin can be seen a strong, strong, perfect lekaki with all that is on him_ who is able to captivate all the eyes of women. But in reality, his heart was so fragile.
Leon reviewed every piece of advice Ervin spoke. Where a man should be stronger than a woman. And there's nothing wrong with just talking to Humaira.
“Hopefully you can press all your ego. Show me your goodwill at the beginning, Leon.” Ervin gave a nod_convincing Leon to keep the relationship that has been established for a long time.
Leon nodded_confirmed it. After the heart was able to make peace, Leon again eager to fight the pain that exists. He will always remember the advice Ervin told him.
...----------------...
Ervin raised his hand after performing the dzuhur prayer in the mosque, where he hid every wound, a place to reconcile his fragile heart and a place to meet Allah SWT through his prostration.
“Yes Allah O Lord. I ask for forgiveness from the servant who never escaped a sin. Because I made a big mistake in my life. Servant has excessive fear if You break the servant's heart again.”
“Yes Allah, O Lord. Give me a spacious servant chest when one day the servant will return you tear down his world. Servants can only ask for the thousand kindnesses and a thousand joys that You have laid down in the life of the servant with Laura, the wife of the servant whom You have chosen to accompany the servant in every step.”
“Yes Allah Yes Rabb.. Give a long enough life for Laura so that she remains beside the servant, spending the remaining time. Aamiin.”
After saying the word aamiin as the end of his prayer, Ervin again prostrated.
Tests...
Back tears can not be contained, until dripping on the prayer mat. Tears at the end of the prayer mat have proven how much love Ervin has for Laura. And that love was brought by God directly into his heart.
...----------------...
Ervin had to fight back at the operating table for four hours to stand, sharpen his eyes, focus and have to look spectacular.
Heart surgery has also begun. Until the time is over. The last part is none other than sewing the existing wound.
“Final part, Doctor Aurora is not here. So, I ask you, Doctor Joseph to replace the role of Doctor Aurora.” Ervin stared intently at Joseph's doctor, the resident doctor.
“But, Doc..” Doctor Joseph seemed hesitant to agree.
“No words but while in this room. And there is only the word ready!” said Ervin who put emphasis on his last sentence.
Doctor Joseph exhaled heavily, he seemed hesitant to carry out the orders of the main doctor. Sewing the wound, there is a sense of trauma there after having experienced something bad.
“Don't waste your time for free, Doctor Yusuf. Because the running time is very useful for the life of the patient in the next future.” Ervin nodded steadily.
“Ready! Doc.” Doctor Yusuf replied with a nod.
Ervin came out of the operating room and he immediately cleaned his hands and changed his clothes. I can't wait for that afternoon to come home and meet Laura. The woman who now fills the recesses of her heart and the figure of the woman she longs for when distance and time stretch between them.
Motor scoopy who always faithfully accompany Ervin wherever he is, now he does with moderate speed. Although the longing seems to be unstoppable but he also has to remember how to drive on crowded streets.
“Assalamu'alaikum,” Ervin said after being in front of Laura's house.
“Walaikumsalam.” Laura welcomed her husband.
Not forgetting Laura greeted Ervin with reverence. And don't forget Ervin's wound landed a kiss on Laura's forehead.
“It's finished its operation, Bang?”
“Already, because you can't wait to heal the longing that stifles your heart Brother.”
The blush! Instantly both Laura's cheeks blushed. Ervin's lips were too flexible to make Laura's heart flowery and infested with butterflies flying.
“Gombal yes, Brother. I met you at the hospital, I missed you.” Laura threes.
“Do you not know if you mean so much in my life? And if you still do not believe what is said from my mouth then.cut my chest.”.
