Doctor Ella Love Story
183. S2 - Flash Back

...~Several days before~...

That afternoon Roni was on duty at RSUD Sutomi heart police as part of his resident duties. The condition of poly is quite stretchy and safe because it only does service until twelve hours. Furthermore, there is only a recording and entry of medical records data in a computerized manner and the visit of the patient to whom it is responsible.

Roni pampit out of the poly to switch to the hospital room of the heart and blood vessels, pass the visit. Roni just walk casually from the poly to the room through the long corridors of the hospital. And that's when the phone rings, Mahes's name is on the screen.

Roni immediately received the call. Very curious about what Mahes will talk about. A few days ago Roni did ask her upperclassman for help in finding information about Jun. And Mahes promised that information within two days. Today was exactly those two days. What kind of person would Mahes hire to find information? And how much money is the fee? Sultan mah is free!

"Hello, mahes." Roni says hello.

"Hello, Ron. I've already got the info about Jun in Jogja." Mahes answered Roni.

"Jun stayed at his grandmother's house in the area around Malioboro after coming out of his boarding house. Jun's mother turned out to be from Jogja and her original home there. So during her disappearance Jun lives with her grandmother and her tantric family in that house.

"Good indeed. If there's a clear address, just go to him." Roni answered.

"I've also been investigating Jun's daily life on his campus. Like you said, he's the kind of loyal guy who's impossible to cheat on. And sure enough, Jun with his closed nature did not have a close friend of any woman there. Even for male friends it is rare." Mahes explained. Roni just kept quiet listening to Mahes' explanation which seemed to be a bit long.

"But there's been something a little strange about him lately. I was looking for info on his activities on campus, it turns out he took a leave of absence for this semester. The reasons put forward in academics are also unclear."

"I investigated further it turned out that a few months ago he had suffered upper thigh injuries due to playing footsal with his friends. Injuries that make it difficult to move and walk, such as broken bones." Mahes took a pause for a moment, taking a deep breath.

"But after a long time the injury did not heal even worse. And after further investigation was indeed the bone had been problematic before without him noticing. So before the accident his thigh bone was already sore. Osteosarcoma."

(Osteosarcoma is a malignant cancer of the bone).

"Osteosarcoma?" Roni was shocked to hear Mahes' explanation.

*Osteosarcoma, is a malignant cancer. Oh my God, what else is this? how could Jun possibly you choose to suffer from that disease? Very rare disease and usually suffered by children growing up or young adults. And as it is known the hope to recover and live for sarcoma* patients is very small. Moreover, most of this disease is only known and symptomatic when it is advanced stage.

"Where is he now, my mom?" roni was worried. As a doctor of course he memorized the truth about the deadly disease.

"It can't be said to be okay. You know cancer patients. Especially if it is attacked by internal organs like that. Very quickly his metastasis, and for Jun's case so too."

(metastasis is the spread of cancer cells from one organ to another).

"What stage?" Roni asked increasingly frustrated. How could Jun's friend one round of interenship who looked so fit and healthy suddenly be diagnosed with malignant cancer? Jun is even studying oncology, the science that studies cancer. A truly tragic reality.

"Four..."

"God..." Roni was getting helpless to hear it. Stadium four? Final stadium?

"He was 'ugly' Ron. Here I have some recent photos of Jun..." Mahes sent some photo files to Roni.

(ugly is a term commonly used by medical personnel for patients with a prognosis of cure and low life expectancy).

"Stadium four of course..." Roni opened the file photos sent by Mahes.

The more limp it feels for the sake of seeing Jun's current state. It was a lot different from the Jun he had known a few years ago. The cancer cells had gnawed at her body and forced her to lie weak or use a wheelchair. His stature also became thinner and paler, not as bright and as fresh as it used to be.

"Rone...Sorry yes, it looks like you should tell Sari about this. Sari should know the truth about Jun.." the tone of Mahes' voice also sounded helpless.

How could you try to tell this bitter reality to Sari, his sister. Tells him that his sister's lover will not be long in his life. Life and death are God's business, but as a doctor he knew exactly where to hope and fought the battle against disease.

It is also impossible for Mahes to contact Sari and tell her about Jun herself. Because Sari still did not want to tell Jun to her. Indeed in this state only Roni can give this information to Sari. But of course it won't be that easy to tell this sad information.

"Yes, I'll tell him later. I'll also take Sari to Jogja to meet Jun."

"Thank you very much, Ron. I'm picking Sari with you. Sorry again for your nicotine." Mahes ended their conversation.

"Yes, you're the same." Roni ended her phone call with Mahes.

Then Roni moved on to continue his steps to the hospital room of the heart, and did a visit. After all his duties were done Roni hurriedly went from RSUG G to his contract first. Take some equipment that if necessary to bring to Jogja.

Roni also contacted some of his resident colleagues to ask for a guard schedule so they could empty their schedule for the next few days. Replace it with a double guard schedule at a later date. Then after all the preparations were finished, Roni re-applied his car to the RS. Hartanto Medika to meet Sari.

~∆∆∆~

Sari had already finished packing her suitcase in her private room in the hospital director's room. Though Sari has tried to bring the minimum goods possible, but how are still two suitcases anyway? And it contains only clothes, make up, daily care, and all the traveling needs as well. There was nothing strange about it. But it feels like people want to stay long and far away.

A few days ago Roni told Sari that he would take her to Jogja to meet Jun. After successfully finding information about the address and where to meet the man.

Sari herself had not never tried to find Jun. Sari had contacted her campus, but it turned out that Jun had applied for leave. Sari also contacted the owner of the Jun boarding houses, but Jun also did not host the boarding there, he said. Even Sari had already contacted Jun's resident friends and his boarding friends, but again no one knew where Jun was. The man seemed to have disappeared into the earth just like that. Where and why is he?

For some reason today Sari felt very uneasy, her hunch said there would be bad things happening. Be Sari immediately prepare all her needs for her trip to Jogja for a few days.

Shortly afterwards Wulan secretary Sari came to his superior, a little surprised also by the two suitcases on Sari's side. Where's this Sari? Want to get out of town? How-how long? Why is there no talk to him at all? But Wulan did not dare to ask directly, afraid of being considered too meddling in the affairs of his superiors.

"Why, Lan?" Sari asked.

"There's doctor Roni asking permission to face," Wulan replied.

"Send in, and give me a drink." Sari ordered to Wulan. Then Wulan resigned, allowing Roni to enter, sit on the sofa and serve cold drinks.

"Tumben in the afternoon, Ron?" Sari greeted Roni who was waiting for her on the sofa. It's still too early for Roni's afternoon watch schedule in the heart poly.

"I've already gotten some info on Jun," Roni said directly to the point.

"June?" Sari hurriedly took a seat on the sofa next to Roni. Very excited to know what information Roni got.

"Sari...Jun...It's not good..." Roni was a little confused as to where to start explaining about Jun's state to Sari.

"not good? Not good how?" Sari was very shocked, confused and anxious as well as hearing it. What happened to Jun? What's not good?

"Jun's very sick, Sar..."

"Can't be!" Sari immediately cut off Roni's words.

"Jun is so healthy! You must be lying, Ron!"

"Osteosarcoma.stage four."

Sari's eyes immediately widened and gaped to hear the name of Jun's disease. What joke is this? How could Jun who was even a school in the field of oncology even suffer from the illness he learned? How could Jun possibly have cancer? Final stadium?

Sari had indeed felt wrong with Jun these few months. The man had always refused to accept vidio calls from her. Maybe he does not want to be caught and his body changes are sick, maybe even dying. Jun doesn't want Sari to know what she's going through, doesn't want to make Sari sad about her situation.

All over Sari's body felt limp for a moment, helpless. Sad, claustrophobic and unable to accept the new reality he had heard. Why is fate so cruel to her? Why should Jun? Jun is a very nice guy. Even as a doctor Jun was always totality in treating his patients selflessly. Why God?

For some reason the contents of Jun's letter again flashed in Sari's memory...

*Sorry...I think that's the only word I deserve to say to you.

Thank ye...I have no gratitude for ever being a part of your life.

I love you...And whenever I still love you.

Be happy always there.

Because we can't be together anymore.*

So anyway...So you left me because of this, Jun? You don't want to make me sad? You want me to be happy? How come?...

Sari's body suddenly shook violently. Sari's desperate, helpless and frustrated cries suddenly burst out and echoed throughout her room. Her tears were already unstoppable like melted floodwaters drenched her cheeks.

Roni came helplessly to see Sari as broken as that. Confused not knowing what to do. All he could do was approach the girl, hug her tightly and give her a place to cry on her shoulder.

"Jun's not gonna die, is he, Ron?" Sari asked helplessly on the sidelines of her cries.

"Yes...Jun is strong. He could've survived." Roni tries to comfort Sari, even though she and Sari themselves already know what the answer to the question is.

"Why...Why Jun, Ron?..."

Roni was unable to answer could only hug Sari's body tighter to give her a little peace.
