Heartiness
Chapter 68 #S3

Flash Back's...

"Doc... What is the situation for Egga at this time?". Ratna asked Egga's condition

The atmosphere turned into melos whenever discussing the conditions of Egga.

" There has been no progress at this time, Doc. It is likely that soon Papa and I will find a suitable heart donor for Bang Egga. Because no matter how we try, if the heart of Bang Egga there is no heart deflection at all, our efforts during this time will be in vain. It's the same that we just slowed down the time of Bang Egga instead of trying to make Bang Egga aware".

Ratna was further struck by the condition of Egga who gave no sign to him to return to them.

"Yes Om, just use Tara's heart. Tarok (located) only Tara's heart into Papa's body". So brave he gave his heart and life to Egga without knowing the risks he got.

Almira and Ratna shed her tears listening to her willingly sacrifice for Egga.

...

Without thinking long Ratna went to the heart specialist doctor who was in the hospital. In addition to Eggy, the doctor is a Doctor who handles Egga as well and one of the best heart specialist doctors in Indonesia. Ratna consulted the Doctor named Doctor Richard.

"Are you sure of your decision? You know for yourself the big risks that are going to happen". Doctor Richard wasn't so sure about Ratna.

Ratna /" I'm sure Doc. I'll take whatever the risk is".

Doctor Richard was silent for a moment to see the look on Ratna's face so sure that he wondered her/"Why are you doing all this?".

Ratna /"Because I love her so much Doc. Don't change my heart even if I'm willing to give my life for it". He replied calmly and made anyone who heard him goosebumps and be moved.

How not. Ratna was willing to exchange her heart for Egga's heart that was barely functioning anymore. He did not care about the risk he got later, for his most important thing was to save Egga.

...

#Daddy pick up the phone. Daddy pick up the phone...

In the middle of the night Eggy's phone rang while they were fast asleep and made Eggy wake up feeling her phone on the table.

"Hmm? Assalamualaikum says. Who'sisthis?". Still sleepy, he answered the call.

" What?". Sontak made Eggy wake up and fresh fit.

"Yes... Da... I'm going to the hospital right now. Ja".

Eggy rushed to get ready to go to the hospital so she woke up Almira.

" Where is your husband going to gini midnight?". Ask with eyes that are still creyep - kreyep.

Eggy/"Suam is going to the hospital, baby". He answered while wearing his jacket.

"Midnight gini? What is it? Is there an emergency?". Almira got up and sat down weakly.

" There is no Ist emergency department. Suam got a call from Dr. Richard, said she had a heart donor for Bang Egga". Eggy's eyes twinkled as she said the happy news.

"Alhamdulillah O ALLAH. Easy - hopefully his pencakokan fits Bang Egga". Almira was also grateful as she rubbed her fresh face.

" Aamiin's. Prayer'in only, dear easy - hopefully given the same ease of GOD". Eggy approached Almira and stroked her head.

"Aamiineni".

" Yes, Suam has left, baby". Eggy kissed Almira's forehead and was ready to slide into the hospital.

Almira /"Yes Husband. Husband heart - heart on the road".

"Yes dear. Yes already. Assalamualaikum". Eggy waved her hand then closed the door of their room.

" Waalaikumussalam ".

...

Now Eggy was with Doctor Richard in her room. Eggy was still feeling hopeful - please be anxious about the news provided by Doctor Richard and not be patient to find out more.

Eggy/" So how's Doc, is the donor's heart really suitable for my brother?".

Dr. Richard gave the donor's heart test. Eggy quickly read the results carefully.

"Fortunately the heart of the donor is suitable for Mr. Egga only the hope of Mr. Egga to survive is only 20% and if Mr. Egga survived the possibility of Mr. Egga will not be able to be as before. Yes, it can be said that it is likely that Mr. Egga will experience complications or permanent paralysis of his legs".

Eggy was speechless thinking about the devastating impact that would have on Egga. He felt riled up and sad thinking the result of the two was not good for Egga.

He massaged his forehead while staring at the piece of paper he was holding.

"Bismillahirrohmanirrohiimbali. O ALLAH, if this is the best for my brother, then make it easy for us. O ALLAH, You are the best of our helpers, Your servants". Eggy closed her eyes as she offered a prayer in her heart, tears streaming down her cheeks and she quickly wiped them away.

Eggy/" Good Doc. Let's try it, and we'll accept whatever the risk is, but I'm asking the doctor not to tell my family about it first".

Doctor Richard /"Good Doc. I will do my best for Mr. Egga with all my abilities".

Eggy/"Thank you very much Doc. Oh yea! If you can find out who the donor is?".

Doctor Richard was silent for a moment.

"Sorry Doc, I'm just doing my trust, the donor asked me not to reveal his identity including Doctor Eggy".

Eggy frowned.

" Who should we thank and repay? I also had to intervene in this operation, how could I not know who the donor was".

Doctor Richard /"Sorry Doc, I just fulfilled the donor's request and... The donor also requested that Doctor Eggy should not intervene in this operation. He just trusts me".

"What's? I can't do that Doc! From where can I know and believe that the donor really wants to save my brother. What I fear is that this is a scam. Could - could my brother be doomed. If so, who will be responsible?". Eggy began to be provoked by her emotions when she stamped her hand on the table.

Doctor Richard/"Doctor just take it easy. I will guarantee everything. And I am sure that the donor really sincerely wants to give life back to Mr. Egga. And the donor had no other purpose and did not ask for anything in return from the Doctor's family, he only requested that Mr. Egga be cured immediately. That'sthat's all".

Eggy was silent and dampened her emotions. He was actually very curious who the donor was, he thought hard and guessed - guess people who were around them, especially people who were around Egga.

But he again thought about the recovery of Egga first and after that maybe he will find out who the donor is.

...

Eggy finally told her whole family about the donation for Egga. They were so happy to get the news.

Eggy also told Ratna about it. He accidentally caught Ratna sitting next to Egga.

"Ehem... Doc". Eggy deliberately cleared her throat so that Ratna would know of her arrival.

Ratna looked up and smiled.

" Uh Doc".

Eggy /" Um... Doc, I want to tell the Doctor that Bang Egga has got a heart donor and In Shay's ALLAH Bang Egga will be operated tomorrow morning".

Ratna's eyes glazed - the glass was holding back her cries.

"Alhamdulillah O ALLAH. Easy - hopefully the operation process tomorrow is given convenience". Exclaims.

Eggy /"Amien. But Doctor Ratna will be here tomorrow, will she accompany us?".

Ratna smiled.

"In God I'm going to do business'in Doc, because by chance tomorrow my schedule is full all day. There are still some of you who are always loyal to accompany Egga, so I'm not too in need times not he he he".

Eggy/" You can't say that. It is precisely the brother of the person who is most in need of the same Bang Egga".

"Sister?".

Eggy /" Yes! Kan Doctor Ratna will be my Sister-in-law, so from now on I will try to call Doctor Ratna with the call of Sister he he he".

"It could be Doctor Eggy this he he he he".

Ratna let out a small laugh while shaking her head and then looked towards Egga who was still lying down like an undead.

...

A thrilling day has arrived, where it is the day of the determination of the lives of two people who are the same - the same struggling to be happy together.

Egga was positioned inside the operating room, more precisely next to Ratna who was already lying on the bed and was also wearing a patient's clothes. He was taken to the operating room a few hours before Wijaya's family arrived at the hospital. No one knew about it except Doctor Richard and his assistant.

Ratna shed her tears looking at her left side which contained a figure of Egga who had absolutely no idea what was happening.

Ratna tried to grab Egga's hand and clasped her.

"You must be strong, you must be healed. I'm sure you can get through all this. O LORD, I ask You. Please give healing to this loved one, please give him a chance to come back and please make it easy for us. If You grant my prayer then I will sincerely let go, I will leave his life and will not make him feel sad again. Just give me some time until I see him open his eyes again". His ink in the heart and then his eyes closed because they could not resist the anesthetic that had been injected by Doctor Richard on him.

"Give us a chance, O ALLAH".

For some reason in their subconscious. The two are the same - remembering the happy moments they had passed together, both when they both wanted to at the time they were playing and laughing happily together with Tara.

...

The operation process went well. Egga was immediately rushed to a different room so that Eggy could take over for Egga's follow-up examination.

Ratna is still being treated by Dr. Richard. His condition was suddenly critical after his heart had moved into place. Doctor Richard is doing everything he can.

Qadarallah (destiny of ALLAH).

Ratna was able to get through her critical period so quickly. His desire to live longer is strong. Then Ratna was moved to her room.

Ratna opened her eyes slowly, she saw Doctor Richard still keeping his guard.

"Thank God you're aware of Rat". Doctor Richard's face looks happy to see Ratna so quickly muttered.

" How's the condition of Egga Doc?". He immediately asked Egga's condition instead of thinking of her dying self.

Richard /"Praise God. Mr. Egga is fine, the operation went smoothly and your heart immediately works quickly when placed on the body of Mr. Egga. Miraculously, Mr. Egga's condition is better than before even though Mr. Egga is still in a coma. Hopefully, Mr. Egga will soon be humanized".

Ratna breathed a little relieved listening to Egga's improved condition.

"I salute your courage Rat. Maybe God has helped you, because rarely even once a heart donor can survive like you. What else is in your body is an unhealthy heart, a heart that should no longer function. It turned out that the miracle of God was real and I witnessed it myself. This was my first experience. I just goosebumps he he he he". Dr. Richard showed off his hair that had been standing since. Ratna could only smile at him.

"But Rat...".

Ratna sees Doctor Richard and waits for Doctor Richard to continue.

"But now the problem is in you. You can't live with that heart forever because Mr. Egga's heart is worse than we thought and it's very dangerous for your life. You have to get that new heart before it eats away all your organs. And soon I'll find a heart donor for you. I will definitely help you Rat". Doctor Richard's statement made Ratna can only be resigned and sincere.

Slowly he placed his hand on his chest, he felt the beating of the heart beating so weakly and occasionally he felt pain in his chest.

"I have to be strong. I have to be strong at least until I see him open his eyes". Inner says.

...

Only 1 day Ratna was treated in the hospital, he was forced to return to his home so as not to be suspected by anyone, especially Tara. Even Doctor Richard strictly forbade his decision but Ratna still insisted on going home even though he had to endure the tremendous pain in his heart.

" Mama's home?". Tara shocked her when she saw Ratna walking around with a precipitate into her house.

Ratna looked at him and smiled at Tara.

"Eh yes, dear. You're awake already". He rubbed Tara's head.

" Yes Ma. Is your face pale? Mama didn't sleep all night?". Tara looked at Ratna's face that was so pale and limp.

Ratna hid her hand so that Tara would not look and ask about her broken bandage/"Yes. Maybe Mama was exhausted because there were so many patients that Mama had to handle he he he".

Tara /"Emmm... Yes, Mama quickly rest so Mama does not get weaker and sicker. Later Tara bring breakfast to Mama's room ya".

Ratna /"Don't care, Mama's gonna take her breakfast. If you want breakfast, breakfast first with Oma. Mama wants to rest first in the room so that later in the afternoon we go to Papa's hospital".

Tara nodded her head.

"Yes Ma".

Ratna left Tara, and she went into her room as soon as she could not endure the pain any longer, if it was too late she might faint in front of her adopted son.

Slowly Ratna reached for her bed even her entire body shook quite violently.

" I have to be strong. I have to be strong". He said as he shed his tears.

...

Although it still took quite a long break even for a very long time, Ratna forced herself to bring Tara to meet Egga according to her promise.

Ratna looked at Egga's face, she shed her tears and immediately wiped it while enduring the pain in her heart

Adhan zuhur reverberated in the hospital mosque, alternately they immediately performed the prayer of zuhr so that they also took turns accompanying Egga.

Tara approached Egga after she performed her prayers, while praying for Egga's recovery.

Tara's eyes opened wide when she saw Egga moving - the movement of her finger.

"Ma... Papa's hand moving - Ma's motion. Quick look at Ma". Tara called Ratna with spirit.

" O ALLAH....". As fast as lightning Ratna approached Egga and watched as Egga was moving - the movement of her fingers. Ratna was crying happily.

"Alhamdulillah O ALLAH.....!". Ratna immediately pressed the emergency button to call Eggy.

" O dear GOD". Ratna did not dare to check Egga's condition by herself, she had to wait for Eggy to immediately go to Egga's room.

It didn't take long for Eggy and the other medical teams to arrive anxiously.

"What's up Doc? Is there something wrong with Bang Egga?". Eggy suddenly panicked because there was an emergency call from her brother's room and saw Ratna and Tara crying.

"Egga moves his fingers Dok hu hu hu". Ratna pointed at Egga's hand that was still moving.

" Alhamdulillah O ALLAH". Eggy made a prostration of gratitude while crying happily finally Egga was free from her coma.

Eggy as soon as she checked Egga's condition further, all of Egga's body condition was fine. Even Egga also responded as Eggy lit up her eyes with a special small flashlight checking her eyes. His eyeballs follow the direction of the flashlight and even respond quickly.

He immediately contacted his parents and his wife.

They were very happy to hear the news and rushed straight to the hospital.

They were crying happily because Egga would definitely be healed. They approached Egga but Eggy forbade her from interfering with Egga's nervous system which had just been working again.

"Tars... The dance... Don't leave me again, please don't leave me Tar". They were increasingly surprised to hear Egga muttering the longer it became clearer. It seemed that Egga was dreaming of meeting with Tari.

Dada Ratna arrived - suddenly painful, slowly he walked backwards to get out of the room.

"I have to be strong, I have to be strong. Hold on Rat, a little more. You can definitely". He said in his heart while holding his chest.

" lt... Papa's... Pa Tari ninggalin Egga... Papa's... Dance where Pa is... Papa wants to take Egga where Paaaa is ... Papa's... Haaaa...". Egga flinched until her body lifted. Her breath as in pull is so stifling.

"ALLAHU AKBAR'S......". They cried out simultaneously while crying happily and then Ms. Hanna spontaneously hugged him.

" O ALLAH Ga.... Praise be to Allah, at last, you will wake up to Hu Hu Huhu". Ms. Hanna rubbed - rubbed Egga's face.

Ratna's tears flowed more and more with a happy smile finally he saw the person he loved had opened his eyes. He slowly stepped out of the room.

Ratna sat down and cried happily. He wanted to be near the man he loved and hugged him tightly, but for him it was impossible, given his unlikely condition as well as considering that Egga's parents were extremely dislikeful of him. Ratna better stay away, her condition is getting weaker, for her to see Egga has realized it is enough to make her the happiest human being in the world and she has also fulfilled her wishes.

"Ma... Mama, how did you get out of Papa's room? Mama's still not feeling well, is she? Mama's face is getting pale". Tara surprised Ratna. It turned out that he followed Ratna out when he realized that Ratna was no longer in the room.

Ratna turned to him and wiped her tears.

" It's okay, baby. Mama arrived - arrived nauseous then her Mama out, maybe Mama starved he he he. Eh you're out? She said you missed Papa. Now that Papa is awake you are out, there gih in, later Papa nyari'in you know".

Tara/"Mama didn't go inside too?".

" Later, baby. You're the one who goes in first, Mama's coming". Ratna was forced to push Tara's body slowly because she told her to go back into the room. Tara complied and went into the room.

Before Tara called her back immediately she got out of the place and hid from Tara when she saw Tara was looking for her.

"Sorry Mama. You can't see your mom like this. My mother can no longer take care of you. Tara has to be a smart kid who always takes care of Papa and stays by Papa's side". She looked inwardly as she peeked at Tara who was busy looking for her.

Then he left the hospital in shock after he saw Tara return to Egga's room in disappointment.
