Healing
92. Opname

Yoga drove the car very fast, lucky there is a hospital close, only 5 minutes drive, we immediately arrived in front of the IGD hospital, and, I saw Yoga get out of the car and run to the nurse on IGD.

Two nurses pushed the gurney while walking briskly towards the Yoga car. Yoga opened the car door and helped me get Shaka out of the car. Shaka was laid on the gurney, he regained his senses, but suddenly vomited so much that Yoga was standing next to the gurney.

" Sorry.", said Shaka weakly, with his head still drooping in the gurney, but his eyes were glaring at Yoga.

This is the first time the father and son have met face to face, but in a very sad situation.

The nurse helped push the gurney into the room. The doctor took immediate care, and Yoga and I waited in front of the booth as the nurse put on the infusion and changed Shaka's clothes to the patient's clothes, because the clothes Shaka was wearing were wet from the rain, also dirty exposed vomit.

Yoga went out without saying goodbye, and came back after about 5 minutes, it turned out that she had come from the bathroom to change her clothes which had been vomited by Shaka with a black t-shirt, maybe he had a shirt in his car.

Right now me and Yoga are standing just staring at each other without anyone talking. I heard Shaka's voice still vomiting.

Actually I feel very uncomfortable with my clothes and also the smell of my body, but in the middle of the night all the shops are closed, I should be able to hold it for a while with this wet and dirty clothes.

The doctor came out of the room and looked at us both. " Are you his family?".

Me and Yoga nodded quickly.

" How's Shaka doing, why did he suddenly faint, and also vomit Doc?", I asked.

The doctor took me to his room and explained how Shaka was.

" Sak Shaka is dehydrated, and seems to be stressed, so it triggers his stomach acid to rise, especially it seems he did not eat anything for a long time, because I checked his stomach was empty, because I checked his stomach was empty, there is a lot of gas in the stomach".

" That's why we immediately infused him. In order for any liquid to enter, son Shaka was already too weak, his blood pressure was only 80/60, it was very low".

" Well, how should Doc?, should Shaka be treated?, or can I go home?".

My thoughts are very upset today, tomorrow is my wedding day, but my son is sick and in the hospital, and all this happened because of my own fault. Help me, I think after my wedding tomorrow, everything will turn out well, but why tomorrow it feels so long and so many problems arise.

" If my advice, Shaka should be treated here for a few days, wait until his condition is completely recovered, because you need to know, miss, healing physical wounds by healing them is easier and faster to heal visible physical wounds. As for Shaka son, he is also stressed, he has to meet with a psychiatrist, and get treatment. That's my advice".

The doctor's words continued to ring in my ear as I walked through the hospital hallway.

It is now 1 am, Shaka has been moved in the inpatient room, all the administration has been cleared by Yoga, that is what I heard from the nurses in IGD. Because by the time I got back to the IGD, Shaka was no longer in his room.

I got to Orchid room number 2, this is Shaka's room being treated, the IGD nurse told me. I went inside after knocking on the door. The room was not very spacious, but there was only one patient in the room, only Shaka alone, along with Yoga who accompanied him while sitting on a plastic chair beside the bed.

The two of them were close together, but all were silent, no one spoke. As I got closer to the bed, Yoga stood up and gave me the chair he was sitting on. Yoga herself chose to get out of the room, but the new Yoga pulled the door handle, I heard Shaka's weak voice.

" If he's a friend of brother's, you better tell him to come home, it's late at night, surely his family is waiting at home, please say thank you very much, and apologize for the trouble".

Finished saying that Shaka tilted his body and turned his back to me and Yoga. Yoga looked at me as I stared at him.

I also followed Yoga out, obeying Shaka's words to send Yoga home. Shaka doesn't know Yoga is his father. He thinks Yoga is my friend.

" Did Shaka not talk to you since?".

I deliberately asked it out of curiosity, the two of them together long enough, whether to keep quiet or they had a chat.

" Saka kept quiet, only occasionally staring at me, I did not dare to ask her to talk, we had just met, and was not close enough to just talk, let alone she was sick. But seeing her condition reminded me of myself in those dark times, I once behaved like a moody Shaka and became quiet, like he was depressed".

" I'm going to ask the hospital for Shaka to do a psychological examination as well, I don't want him getting down because of too many thoughts".

" I'm sorry before, but I had a chance to listen to your conversation with Shaka, it seems you stick to your stance to make Shaka your sister, even though Shaka already knows that you are her mother. You shouldn't be honest. Maybe Shaka is sad, and feels like an unacknowledged child because of your attitude".

" But if you will, I want to make up for all my past mistakes, I want Shaka to be a cheerful and accomplished child. I want to support him to achieve his goals. Although not as his father, because tomorrow Bian will marry you. I don't mind if I have to see Shaka from afar like before".

Yoga really cares about Shaka. By seeing what he did today I no longer doubt his sincerity towards Shaka.

" Utari how?, does she not mind what you will do?, tomorrow you and Utari will also get married, that means you are legally her husband, she said, as a couple you have to be open to her. If indeed you want to take responsibility for Shaka's future".

Yoga nodded at my words.

" Utari never made a fuss about it, as you say, she accepted me with all my flaws. Despite knowing how bad I was in the past, she remained adamant, unwilling to annul our marriage, and said she would accept all the consequences of her decision".

" Because of your request, I will still be married tomorrow to Utari, even though I don't love her at all".

I understand, Utari really loves Yoga.

" Then what about Shaka?, he's in the hospital, and tomorrow we're both getting married, isn't he alone in the hospital?", asked Yoga to me.

" Look down, it's me, I'll take care of Shaka".

Yoga and I looked together at the origin of the sound, whether since when Juna was standing there, maybe he heard all my conversations with Yoga.

When I came out of the doctor's office, I called Juna and told him I had found Shaka, but Shaka passed out and was taken to the hospital, of course I told Juna not to tell mom and dad, they would be very worried if they knew Shaka's situation.

I also asked Juna to bring a change of clothes for me, along with underwear and pads, because I already felt very uncomfortable with my clothes.

Bugs.....

A hard blow landed on Yoga's face, even though the wound on his face had not healed. But Juna instead added to his wound by punching Yoga's face and body several times. Yoga remained silent and did not retaliate even though Juna continued to beat him up.

Yoga received an outpouring of anger Juna who had been in his pendam his dozen years. For Yoga, maybe Juna's punch is nothing compared to the suffering that I and Shaka have been through all this time.

" Jun enough, that's enough, brother beg!", I cried, fortunately it's midnight, so that no one else has witnessed this incident, because I hurriedly stopped the emotional Juna.

I begged Juna not to beat up Yoga anymore.

" He's helped me find Shaka, don't do things that make Shaka even more curious, Shaka doesn't know who his real father is, and now he's resting inside, if you do this, Shaka does not know, it will make Shaka suspicious".

Juna complied with my request, I told him about the problem, why Shaka ran away, and all about Yoga briefly. Juna was still staring at Yoga with a hateful gaze. But Yoga remained there and did not run away like a coward.

" Tomorrow I'll keep Shaka here, the tent and the bridal decorations are done, brother come home with the bike I brought, this is the key".

" Tell mom and dad, Shaka's met, but he's got business with me. Keep doing the wedding brother even though we're not around".

I shook my head, "there's no way Jun, I want you and Shaka to see my wedding tomorrow. Let me ask the doctor for permission to take Shaka home for a while, attend my wedding".

" You wait here, but don't beat him again, you can see, his face has been battered from fighting with Bian yesterday".

Juna stared at Yoga as I said Yoga's face was injured after fighting with Bian.

I went to the public restroom to change my clothes, and I went to the doctor for permission.

Five minutes chatting with the doctor, but the results were not as desired. The doctor did not allow Shaka to be brought home because his physical and psychic are still down.

I met Juna and Yoga who were silent and sat far away in front of Shaka's room. The two approached me asking how it turned out.

" Shaka is not allowed to go home, even for a while, because his physical and psychic are still down" I said in a soft voice.
