Two tidings that stifle the chest (first part)
-- M-Hospital, downtown Malang----
During the journey to the hospital Radhif continued to hold the fingers of Mayang fingers. He continued to pray and plead with the Creator to make things easier. I don't know what Mayang would have been if the operation had been postponed. Radhif really could not resist the sadness and guilt in the bottom of his heart. That feeling made him unable to calm down. He can only calm down if Mayang woke up and recovered from his criticism.
'Worship to You, O God. Easy everything. I hope this time Mayang can be in surgery soon. Launch the Mayang operation later, give him healing so that the servant can make up for all the mistakes that I have made. Let us be together again, there is still much I have to do to make Mayang happy. I cannot see Mayang in this condition, O God. Strengthen him so that he can pass all these trials, Radhif prayed in his heart.
While kissing his wife's fingers, Radhif accidentally dropped a map containing files from the previous hospital. The grip of his hand that previously held Mayang released him then bowed and picked up the file that had fallen. In the file lift and again grabbed Mayang fingers and kissed him.
"Dear, wakeup. Don't leave me alone. I'm sorry I caused you to go like this" Radhif half-whispered. He whispered these words in Mayang's ear while stroking Mayang's head wrapped in a black hijab that his wife had used since the beginning they left Heru's villa. His hand rubbed Mayang's head gently, staring at Mayang's pale face that did not budge in the slightest from his sleep.
Radhif had wanted to take Mayang to a hospital owned by TNI AL in the city of Surabay, but the distance and condition of Mayang made him cancel his intention. He wanted Mayang to recover quickly but it was not possible so he received a referral from Doctor Vivian to move Mayang to M hospital in downtown Malang.
The inner struggle and the burden of thought made Radhif not aware that soon the ambulance he was riding entered the landing of the hospital. The speed of the car began to slow down and a few moments later stopped, indicating they had arrived at their destination. His hand removed the dew point that was settling in the corner of his eye. The gallant man who looked as firm as a rock was filled with heart to see the woman he loved lying helplessly. Mayang must now fight between life and death. All this was because of her selfish self. Regrets that come too late. Radhif prayed and hoped that the regret could be redeemed by him, not a mere regret.
"Sim....!!!" the door opened from outside. A moment later, a male figure was seen wearing a nurse uniform.
"Excuse me, sir, we've arrived. I'll take the patient. Please you take care of the administration and also everything directly to the hospital to show," said the nurse.
"Oh, yes. Fine, Sir. I'll hand over my wife's file to the hospital. Please take care and move my wife. Thanks for helping!" radhif said as he got out of the ambulance into the hospital lobby.
While walking towards the hospital lobby Radhif's mobile phone shook. He then reached into the waist bag he used. Not long after that flat object was in his hand. Opened in a hurry. A message appeared on his phone screen. A message that turned out to be from Heru's younger brother.
[Message from Heru: "Assalamualaikum, Bang Radhif sorry I and Dwi a bit late coming. There was a little disturbance on the road. The car we were riding broke down. Insya'Allah if it is finished we will follow my brother in hospital M."]
[Reason from Radhif: "Ok, monitor. Be careful on the road."]
After replying to the message from Heru earlier, Radhif put the flat object back into his waist bag. Then he again continued his steps towards the lobby to take care of the administration and submit Mayang's referral file.
A moment later he was at the reception desk in front of the hospital lobby. Seoarang woman wearing hospital uniform is serving the family of other patients. Another was checking the computer monitor on the reception desk.
"Assynnya!" sapa Radhif to the hospital staff.
"Wa'alaikumsalam, how can we help you, sir?" said the woman who was checking the computer monitor next to her.
"Sorry, Sus. I am a family of patients referred from hospital X. I have a letter from Doctor Vivian. Sorry this is the file, Sus," Radhif said, handing over his wife's file to the Sisters on duty.
"I'll check first, yes, sir. I confirmed it with the hospital before" said the nurse then pressed a button on the phone trying to contact the hospital who gave the referral.
After contacting the relevant party, the nurse closed the conversation and put down the hospital phone handle she used.
"Good, Sus. Then the surgeon who will help my wife is what is the duty in this hospital as well? I mean can I meet him to discuss my wife's condition?" ask Radhif to the nurse.
"Yes, Sir. I'll call. But we take the patient to occupy his room, after that I will call the doctor to see you" replied the woman.
"Alright, Sister. I ask for help to find treason in the VVIP classroom for my wife, cry out for her help," Radhif cried as he glanced at the ambulance driver who came to him.
"Sorry, Sir. Is it done taking care of it? If we let you help you move your wife to the room you're going to?" exclaim the driver.
Radhif then turned his face towards the nun about to ask that question.
"Is there an empty VVIP room, Sus?" ask again with a hopeful look.
"Yes, there's an empty room. The patient is healed and goes home. The room is cleaned. Immediately I call the VVIP room picket officer to deliver and help you," said the nurse again. He called someone using a hospital phone.
"Please wait a minute, sir. The officer will be here soon" explained the nurse.
Not long ago appeared a male nurse heading to the hospital lobby carrying with her a bed that was pushed. The three male nurses then moved the lying Mayang and took him to the prepared VVIP room.
Still imagined in Radhif's memory this hospital hallway, where he began close to Mayang. In this place also his late brother was brought after the disaster that befell him on Mount Semeru ascent. There was concern in his mind. He was worried that Mayang would recall the old trauma he had experienced.
'I hope the trauma doesn't come back. Strengthen Mayang, O Allah, ' cried Radhif in his heart.
