That afternoon Elle will be operated on exactly 2 hours after the leukemia patient who will donate his eyes died as predicted. He is the son of a cancer foundation that is funded by the Hutama company. There is no compulsion from anyone. The donor's own parents who gave his daughter's eyes to be donated because they feel they owe a big debt to the Hutama family. They were the ones who financed chemo and the treatment of his daughter until betahan during this time.
Nando, who did not want to risk the failure of surgery, decided to invite an ophthalmologist from Singapore, not because he looked down on Edward who graduated from America, but more on the comfort of her who was afraid that her daughter's opration was not going well. Edward himself recommended Albert doctors because they were on campus in America first.
Second by second, minute by minute passed.Almost an hour they were inside. An agitated Nando walked back and forth in the corridor. Several times his parents, brother and foster sister called, but it did not reduce Nando's panic.
"Your phone sounds sir." Alex who had since taken a seat in front of the door of the operating room told him. Nando fumbled his phone.
.....Sofia calling's....
immediately swiped the phone screen, then said the greeting that Sofia replied with an illegible voice.
"Did the operation go well?"
"I don't know yet.The doctors are still inside.Somewhat they're doing.”
" Be patient." Sofia had not yet continued her sentence, the door of the room opened. Dr. Edward and Albert showed up there. Without closing his call, Nando half ran at them.
"How's Elle doctor doing?"
" The expectation went well. Let's see the results tomorrow young master.Today let Elle be treated here. There's still a lot to do after the surgery." explained Edward's doctor slightly appealed to Nando who was hit by panic.
"Alhamdulilaahh" he said along with Sofia who was still faithfully listening to the conversation there. A feeling of relief approached the two. When Edward's doctor gives a briefing until Elle is transferred to the treatment room, not even Sofia misses the moments. He just hung up when Elle was really quiet in her room and made sure Maria was always nearby.
Nando, who loves Elle, chooses not to return to the office. He and Alex do all the work there waiting for Elle. Tired, that's how he felt. The man looked at Elle's bed. The little lady is still asleep there. Alex says goodbye to praying Isya. That night they were the only ones waiting for Elle because Mary was allowed to go home and come back tomorrow.
'When are you coming home?'
A short message he sent to Sofia far away. There's a bit of confusion if he doesn't text or call her. Check it to blue until a moment later Sofia is in typing mode...
'Maybe next week.'
Starting again, she replied to her short message with a short sentence as well.
'I want you to come home tomorrow. Elle bandage deer removable. He wants to see you.'
'Can't be so mas. I am a country man. Must follow the rules.'
'No but. Tomorrow Alex will pick you up!'
Reply Nando insisted. No more replies from Sofia.
"Did he think I couldn't get him home? let's see Sofia tomorrow. You or I win." he murmured softly.
" Lex." call Nando to Alex who just got in there with his wet hair.
"Yes sir."
"Find out where Sofia's been stationed. Pick him up tomorrow and bring him here."
"Good young master." Alex, who was used to getting impromptu orders from his employer, quickly contacted his men to go to the hospital where Sofia was on duty. He also booked VIP flight tickets for them later.
"Everything is ready, young master" he reported a few minutes later. Nothing is difficult for Fernando. With her power and big name she could definitely find Sofia in an ant hole though.
" Is my wife in the yard?"
"No sir. Just being in the border area."
"Make sure sir."
"good. Now istremurah. Tomorrow I'll entrust my wife's pick-up to you."
" Good sir. Excuse me." Alex bent his body and walked out. For a moment he briefed two bodyguards he assigned to keep Fernando outside the room. The fat-haired man passed by, returning to his apartment. The master was right, he needed to rest before taking the morning flight blind and take the difficult terrain up to the border later.
**********
The next day....
In a government hospital that has been restored in such a way that can be called luxurious in the area, a beautiful woman in her white coat entered the ER room with several doctors and nurses who served there. Fresh wind for medical personnel who have worked all night. It means there is a shift change. They can take a short break in the mess or just relieve fatigue by relaxing until their shift returns.
Things have improved. The addition of patients is also not as much as it used to be when Sofia first arrived. They were also waiting for their recovery time. But there is still no withdrawal of medical personnel from there because it keeps the second wave from happening later. For that they still survive there until next week and certainly the situation is really stable.
Sofia put on a medical mask and gloves before checking on the condition of several patients that morning. There must be approval and another doctor before the patient is transferred to the hospital.
"Good morning doctor, tumben does not call home" said the Great doctor who this morning was in the shift with him. The handsome doctor knew Sofia's habit of calling Elle every morning and taking a break.
"For the doctor too. I'm gonna check them out first and call home."
"Has your daughter's surgery gone well?"
"Alhmdulilah has doc. Tomorrow Doctor Edward will open the bandage."
"I'm so happy. Congratulations to you."
"Thank you. Let's.." Sofia opened the door and headed for her patients, followed by a nurse.
Sofia's desire to call Elle after checking on the patient is urgently suppressed. There was a visit from local government officials for a review of the patients. The hospital is preoccupied with the impromptu guests until Sofia forgets. At one o'clock in the afternoon he could sit in his chair and remove his medical equipment. He should immediately pray dhuhur and have lunch.
"So, there are guests who want to meet you" said the nurse who accompanied him earlier. Sofia's forehead is wrinkled. He doesn't know anyone here but the medics. It was strange that they were looking for him and had to ask permission first. The medical staff were free to enter the room.
"Who's mbak?"
"No idea doc. He's a very handsome man."
"hehh???"
"who?"
"don't know doc, I'd better see a doctor. Who knows if the doctor is interested." said the nurse while smiling seductively.
"Hussstt, I already have a husband."
"owwhhh yes I forgot. The doctor's husband is very handsome."
"Thank you for the compliment" Sofia responded with a flirtatious reply to the sister as well. The nurse was also the medical personnel who served with him was always stealing the view when Sofia made a video call, so he knew the faces of Fernando and Elle.
Sofia rushed out of the room. In front of him was a tall man standing behind him after calling someone.
"Secretary Alex.You....."
"Yes my mistress. Master orders you to go home now!"
