"Hendra wait!" Bastian called Hendra who was almost lost behind the door of the room.
"What?" asked Hendra lazily.
"I take your advice."
"I-I mean you?" he asked Hendra to confirm what he heard.
"I take your advice!" Bastian spoke in a high tone.
"Which advice?" asked Hendra pretending not to understand.
"Don't ask Hendra that much. Set the right time to perform the surgery on my leg. Don't make me wait long."
"I'll do it, young boss," said Hendra with a happy smile.
Chacha, who was behind the door, stopped his steps while listening to what Bastian and Hendra had to say. He smiled, but suddenly his face turned gloomy.
'I'm so happy for your ability to be operated on by Bastian. Hopefully, your operation went well and succeeded. That way, you can walk again as before. And ... you are free to find the woman you like, ' Chacha said in his heart.

Today, Bastian's schedule of operations. Hendra did not want Bastian to change his mind again, he prepared everything in just one day.
"Bastian, I'm sure the operation will be successful" Chacha said, touching Bastian's shoulder before he was taken to the operating room.
The sweetest smile graced Chacha's lips. Although in truth, Chacha's heart was being troubled at this moment. But, as much as possible she gives a sweet smile to Bastian.
"Mama's son must be healed," said Merlin also to encourage.
"Yes the young boss. The operation will definitely be successful" said Bik Maryam.
It wasn't just Chacha and Merlin who were there. Danu, bik Maryam, and mr Danang are also there. They came with the intention of giving spirit to Bastian.
However, his father could not attend because he was abroad. Operation Bastian was sudden. That's why he can't go home. But, before Bastian to the hospital, he took the time to talk through the vidio call first.
Bastian smiled seeing the people close to him in this hospital, only to give him some encouragement. What excited him the most was the sweet smile Chacha showed just now. That smile was recorded very clearly in his mind.
"Yes everything, now is the time for Bastian to come in" Hendra said.
"Sus, bring Bastian in now" Hendra told the nurse.
"Good Doc."
The nurse pushed Bastian's wheelchair into the operating room. Cahcha is getting more and more upset. He continued to see Bastian who was getting farther away, until it was lost behind the door of the room.
Merlin's panicked illness began to hit, when they were already an hour in the waiting room. He began to pacing indistinctly while continuing to look at the door of the room.
"Oh my God, how long?" Merlin.
"Patience, Ma. We've only been here an hour."
"Oh, you can't be patient, Cha. Mama is very worried. Hopefully, the operation goes well."
"Amin, Ma." Chacha said a short word.
"Are you not worried what Cha?" merlin asked when she saw that Chacha was silent.
"I'm sorry, Ma."
"Worry about his expression" said Merlin in disbelief.
Chacha did not answer. He just kept quiet. In fact, he was also very worried about Bastian at the moment. Only, he tried as hard as possible not to show the anxiety he felt.
When almost three hours passed, Merlin could really not remain silent anymore. He was so worried. Not anxious anymore, the feeling has changed with panic.
Fortunately, in the next minute, the door of the room opened. Otherwise, perhaps, Merlin would barge inside, or faint from holding back his anxiety.
"How's Hendra? Did the operation work? Is Bastian okay?" tanya Merlin quickly represented the question of everything.
"option .... "
"Let's say Hendra! Don't make your aunt curious" said Merlin with an anxious face.
"Silent aunt. Bastian's operation went well. And, we also succeeded" said Hendra turned his gloomy face into a happy face.
"Re-really?" merlin asked with tears.
"Yes, aunt. When did I lie to auntie? I can't lie" said Hendra, touching Merlin's shoulder.
The happy Merlin could not hold back his fragrant tears anymore. He cried while pouring into Hendra's arms. The happy cry broke out on its own. They were really happy with the news that Hendra had delivered.
Chacha wiped away the soft tears that spilled slowly. He was happy when he found out Bastian's operation was successful. Although there was a sense of sadness in the corner of his little heart, but he was still happy for the success.
"Yes aunty, I'll move Bastian to the ward first. Aunty and the others can come to the ward to see Bastian."
"Yes," said Merlin as he took off his embrace.
"When will he realize?" ask Merlin.
"Maybe tomorrow. But I can't be sure it's on time. Because, that consciousness depends on the person."
"O oh." Merlin spoke while nodding his head.
Bastian was transferred from the operating room to the hospital room. There, Merlin kept Bastian very happy. He was happy, at last, his only son was now recovering.
Hearing what Hendra said about Bastian who might be aware tomorrow, added Merlin who is guarding Bastian now, Chacha decided to leave the hospital. He felt really upset at the moment. His little heart always said about Bastian's consciousness. His mind says that if Bastian is conscious, he may not need himself anymore. He knew what his status was all along.
The conscious estimate of tomorrow that Hendra said turned out to be wrong. Bastian was conscious in a matter of hours. An hour and a half after the operation, Bastian was conscious of his stupor.
"Bastian," said Merlin very happily as he watched his son open his eyes.
"Mama." The sound of weakness was heard very clearly.
"You're sober, son? Hows it? What's sick now?" ask Merlin.
"Nothing, Ma. No need to worry about that."
"You are, Bastian. It's natural that my mom is worried."
"Where's Chacha?" bastian asked while looking around.
"Eh, yes. Where is Chacha?" ask Merlin back.
"Oh my God, Ma. I asked my mom, my mom is back with me."
"Yes ..where does mom know. There was one in .... "
"Where?"
"In front of the operating room," Merlin said weakened.
"Well, mom and daughter-in-law can forget."
"You don't forget the bus. Mama was too anxious and panicked as you were. My mom doesn't remember left and right anymore. Just focus on you."
"Mama habit. The anxiety is outrageous so the effect is too excessive."
"So then, mommy, look, Chacha Kayak wasn't worried about the way you were when you were in surgery."
"Ma, where does mom know she's anxious or not. Not the same as my mom. An outrageous worry. Overrated."
