At night, in the ICU room Axel was still unconscious. Since then Nia continued to cry to see the state of her son, then she entered the room after asking permission from the guard nurse. Nia hoped that with her arrival, Axel could open his eyes.
“Honey, wake up Nak!” said Nia while gently holding Axel's hand.
Nia again shed her tears when she did not see the reaction from Axel's body. Previously the doctor had said that Axel's body as a whole was no problem. His head had also improved after the operation earlier, but the family was still told to be patient because it was a very long recovery for the patient after doing brain injury surgery.
“Darling, you know why you got this way.You've risked your life just for a woman who never loved you. Awake, Son! women are not just him.” Nia said in a soft voice but full of anger when she remembered Gita.
Axel's fingers moved slowly. Nia who saw him was very distrustful but also happy because Axel finally realized. Then Nia pressed the nurse call button. After a while the nurse came with a doctor.
they asked Nia to come out first.
Felix had just come to see his wife's different-looking face.
“Honey, why?” tanyakanya.
“Mas, Axel is awake. Last time I entered, he was able to move his hand.” Nia replied with haru.
Felix was happy to hear that. He also hoped that after this Axel's condition would soon recover. Then Felix asked his phone to Nia who had missed it when he came home for a while to change clothes.
Nia gave the phone a little nervously for fear that her husband would find out that Iqbal's phone number had been blocked. And sure enough, Felix seemed to be fiddling with his phone like he was looking for something. And luckily the doctor came out of Axel's room after finishing the examination.
“How is my son, Doc?” ask Nia.
“The state of the patient is not yet fully satabilized. It still takes some time. I suggest that the family not put too much pressure on his condition to wake up immediately. And one more, the patient had mentioned the name “Gita”. Maybe at this time the name is in the mind of the patient.” The doctor at length.
“Thank you, Doc. Can we log in now?” ask Nia later.
“Please. Origin no more than ten minutes. So that patients can return to rest.” The doctor replied after leaving Fellix and Nia.
Felix and Nia have entered Axel's room. They were relieved after hearing the state of his son who was recovering. Nia gently rubbed Axel's hand that was still closing her eyes. Felix did the same.
“Gita” looks down Axel with eyes closed.
Felix and Nia are both silent as his son searches for his wife. Felix is also sad because he has not been able to bring his son with Gita. Because until now he also did not know for sure how the current state of his daughter-in-law.
Unlike Nia, she was very angry. Why when his son just realized it was the name Gita who was called. Since then, the faithful ones waiting for him are his Mom and Dad.
“Gitaa, where are you?” Axel again searched for the existence of Gita, even his eyes had slowly opened.
“You must recover first, later will definitely meet your wife.” Answer Felix.
“How is Gita, Pa?” ask Axel again.
“Gita is fine. You must heal first.” Answer Felix.
“Already, Mas. No more giving false hope.” Nia suddenly.
“What do you mean?” ask Felix doesn't understand.
Not yet had time to hear the answer from his wife, Felix saw Axel suddenly let out his tears.he was very panicked and called the doctor.
“What do you mean say like that?” ask Felix.
“Isn't it clear enough as I said Axel was like this because of Gita. I won't allow Axel to meet with Gita. I don't know the truth. All this time they lived in one house but their household was very unhappy. I saw it myself while staying in their apartment first. Indeed they slept one room, but it was just a charade, because I saw some of Gita's clothes still in the room closet that I was wearing. Not only that, the beginning of their marriage Axel had told me that the Gita hated him so much because of the incident that night. I really didn't expect that Gita's attitude towards Axel. Axel has suffered enough all this time, Mas.” Answer Nia.
Felix speechless. He was confused as to what his wife was saying. Indeed, he did not interfere too much with the household affairs of his son, but he also never saw his son out of the office to have lunch with Gita. Whether it was true or just Axel's lie.
“And earlier said Mas, if at the time of the incident Gita only fainted and did not get a gunshot wound. Where is he now? it's not clear that Gita has never loved Axel. Later when Axel is completely healed, I will ask him to divorce Gita.” Nia spoke again.
“Wait a minute, we also can not see for ourselves-“
Felix's words were cut off when he just saw the doctor finish looking at Axel. Then the two of them immediately approached the doctor.
“Master, Madam, did not I warn you not to pressure the patient too much to wake up. It took a long time to recover. I am confident that Panda can be patient. I gave the patient medicine to rest in peace.” Speak to the doctor with a serious face.
“I'm sorry, Doc.” Felix. The doctor then left them both.
***
While it was in the same hospital as Axel but the room was different, there was someone who was lying weak after a few hours ago also just regained consciousness after his surgery. beside the gurney was a man who was his best friend.
“Do you need anything?” elvan asked Dimas.
Dimas just shook his head. He was speechless thinking about his guilt for failing to save Gita from the kidnapping.
“Is anyone sick?” ask Elvan again.
“Ngak. Do you know how Gita is doing right now?” ask Dimas at last.
“Better focus first with your health so that it can be healed soon. Gita must be fine and get the best treatment.” Answer Elvan.
Dimas was surprised by Elvan's answer that said that Gita must have the best treatment. What does.
“What happened to Gita?” ask Dimas.
“Gita is currently being taken to a hospital in the city of J. Daniel, the sister of Gita had told me a little if her brother got an injection containing psychotropic substances carried out by the kidnapper. So the doctor suggested that Gita be taken to a hospital whose facilities are more adequate.
Dimas was very surprised to hear that. And his guilt has also re-emerged.
“I'm sorry, Gita.” Lirih Dimas's.
