Almost every time the King spoke about the kindness of the doctors he met in the hospital that day and how he felt lucky to come with Oma and Opanya that day to the hospital to be able to get toys aeroplanes. Eve had bought him an airplane toy, but the boy was never this happy.
"Mom, it was in the King's hospital to see a good doctor like him, huh?" ask Eve to help her mother prepare dinner.
"Yes, the doctor was friendly, several times the mother went to the hospital and met him, he was polite and very kind to all the patients in the hospital, although maybe he is not the one who handles all the patients he greeted," explained the mother who also admired the young doctor.
"Well, how's dad doing, Mom?" sister Eve asked more important questions. His father's health dropped again, difficult to move and forced to just rest a lot in bed.
Eve could not imagine how her life if something bad happened to her father, she was not really ready if God to call the man she loved the most.
It seems that Eve's hope is still far away, making it difficult for the universe to be granted. Maybe it's time and fate Eve came back to grieve again.
The next morning when the dawn of the Adhan was reverberating, his father's condition worsened, forced them to take the man back to the hospital, luckily, the neighbors next to their homes who work as angkot drivers want to be awakened and bring Mr. Tarjo to the hospital.
That same day Mr. Tarjo had to be hospitalized. The man was already so claustrophobic and so limp, Eve unceasingly wept lamenting her father's condition, especially after the doctor examined her and concluded her father's situation was difficult to save. His heart was not functioning properly to pump blood and his damaged lungs also made his father worse. Young Tarjo was a heavy smoker, only after doctors declared him to have lung cancer did he quit smoking.
"You don't cry anymore Eve, it's her destiny. Let it happen that even if you have to leave you, you must be sincere" said the father in a heavy voice and so limp. He can still recognize his wife and children despite looking tired on the bed with various hoses inserted into his body. Pain, of course, even more his strength is now decreasing drastically.
Eve could not hear her father's hurtful words. Which child can accept the passing of his parents forever? He still hopes there are miracles doctors can do to save his father.
Seeing that her father was asleep, Eve had permission to come out, she wanted to breathe in and at the same time try to calm herself down. However, what happened was that he cried even more sobbing when he reached the park and sat on a long bench alone, long crying there until he did not hear the footsteps of someone approaching him.
"Maybe you need this" said the man who had been standing beside Eve, to her surprise Eve turned her head and found a man who had a handsome, tall figure. He was wearing his doctor's suit which indicated he was a doctor at the hospital.
"Thank you, Doctor," he said, smiling wryly at the handkerchief the man offered.
"May I sit down? I just had surgery and was so tired. Come to this park to calm the mind for a moment while enjoying lunch," he said showing the paper bag he brought. Eve nodded, of course anyone can sit in that chair, it is not hers, but a hospital property that anyone can use.
"You want to?" slowly push the paper bag containing the sandwich. Eve shook her head while trying to smile. Thank you, my doctor is not hungry" he replied gently.
"Is your family being treated at this hospital?" the doctor began to chew his sandwich.
"My father, he was treated in the rose room."
"The doctor said that the complications of his heart and lungs had been damaged," replied Eve full haru, bowing her face until without feeling the clear bulir fell back from her eye patch.
"Is Doctor Ridwan handling your father?"
Eve nodded weakly, without looking at the doctor.
Dr. Carlton did know about the patient Doctor Ridwan, they discussed and discussed in the doctor's room. At least the patients in the village make the doctors who handle of course easily remember the patients who enter and are being handled, although maybe Carlton's doctor is not the one who handles Mr. Tarjo, he said, but the two had discussed about the situation of Pak Tarjo which was getting worse and had no hope anymore.
"You have to be patient the doctor has tried his best. We hope a miracle comes" said Dr. Carlton.
Hearing the word of consolation, Eve looked up at the doctor, nodding with a faint smile. Hope will always be there for those who believe. "Thank you, Doctor. You don't know your words really give me strength and hope. We believe father will recover from his illness." this time Eve can smile even wider.
From the moment of their first meeting, the two got closer. Frequently praying. During Pak Tarjo's hospitalization, Eve certainly spent more time there, and in the end made Eve often meet and talk with Doctor Carlton. It turned out that the man was also the one that was often talked about by the King.
When the boy came to visit and was taken home by Miss Marni to change clothes and bring a change of clothes for Eve, the boy burst into the arms of Dr. Carlton when they met.
"So you gave the toy plane to the King?" said Hawa while stroking the hair of her son who sat on her lap. They sat back in the hospital garden where they often met and talked. Familiarity ensued between them, there was a sense of comfort when chatting with Carlton doctor that Eve felt.
"King of a smart child, he will grow up to be a great child," he said, stroking the boy's hair, accidentally spying Carlton touched Eve's hand which was also there. The two looked at each other for a few seconds then came to a realization and pulled their hands away from the child, there was a nervous and awkward feeling afterwards.
When changing Eve who came home, the girl deliberately prepared lunch for Miss Marni and also exaggerated a little for her to give to doctor Carlton. I don't know why his heart wanted to bring the food to the doctor.
"You know you're the perfect woman, Wa. It's beautiful, smart to cook too, certainly many men who want to be your husband," he said praising Eve when starting to enjoy the food that Eve brought. This time Eve had dared to come and enter the private room cardboard on the man's errand.
Two weeks already his father was hospitalized, his condition rose and fell until that day the condition of Pak Tarjo was very critical. The doctor had done his best, but God seemed to say something else, Eve who was crying roared before her father could not say anything. The father still clasped his daughter's hand trying to strengthen Eve's heart.
"Don't cry, please let me go, even though I don't want to go to the creator before making sure there's someone who will protect and take care of you and your granddaughter," said Mr. Tarjo along with crying which in the end made his chest more tight.
Eve could not respond to her father's words, she continued to cry. Dr. Carlton, who was also in the room, was touched by the grief of the father and son. Miss Marni in the corner of the room has also cried as well as the two sisters of Eve, Aldi and Aldo. The young king did not understand why his family was crying over his grandfather. He just stared at his mother while hugging her waist.
Whether the impulse from which came to Carlton's pitying heart looked at them confidently, he drew closer to Pak Tarjo and touched the man's hand. "Make me marry your daughter."
