“Aa... Aa must endure! Aa can't leave Iyah. Aa must endure!” Sadiyah continued to recite the sentences along the way from the car to the emergency room.
Kagendra was immediately taken to the operating room for action.
Sadiyah waited in front of the operating room with a troubled mind. It was so incredibly scared. He was afraid that Kagendra would not be able to survive and leave him.
“Aa can't punish Iyah like this. It was wrong to leave Aa. Iyah please do not respond to Iyah's ill treatment of Aa by leaving Iyah and the children.” Inner Sadiyah screamed at the thought of Kagednra who was struggling to survive.
Sadiyah began to voice her heart's sorrow with a soft voice. “Daddy love same Aa. From the past, now and maybe next will love Aa. So Aa should be able to survive.”
How Iyah should tell Aras and Aris that Aa left us. Aa must endure. Please, a. Forgive Iyah.” Sadiyah cupped her hands to her face. Her tears were no longer flowing.
For Sadiyah, time was going very slowly. Since Kagendra entered the operating room, Sadiyah did not intermittently’a for Kagendra's safety. His hands were still not cleaned of blood but Sadiyah was already unconcerned about his state. The gray hijab and the white shirt she wore were already full of Kagendra's blood.
After 30 minutes, a doctor came out of the operating room.
“How, Doc?” Sadiyah rushed to the doctor to ask about Kagendra.
“Alhamdulillah, the operation was successful. Patients lose a lot of blood. Thank God the blood supply is enough so that we do not experience any obstacles.” said the doctor gave a brief description of Kagendra's condition.
“What is my husband safe, Doc?”
“God's Insya. It's just that now Mom's husband isn't conscious. Hopefully you can be aware soon.” said the doctor with a smile.
“Alhamdulillah.” Sadiyah thanked to hear that Kagendra made it through his critical period. But he could not breathe because Kagendra was not yet conscious.
Sadiyah placed Kagendra in the VVIP ward. It's just that the VVIP room in the area hospital is not the same as the VVIP room in the big hospital in the city but the treatment room occupied by Kagendra is quite comfortable.
As soon as Sadiyah felt somewhat calm, she contacted Rudi to come immediately. Luckily Rudi was on his way to the village of Cibeber to catch up with Kagendra.
Sadiyah asked Rudi to tell her about Kagendra to her brother and mother because she could not report Kagendra's condition to her brother and mother. Sadiyah felt very guilty because Kagendra was injured to save her.
Not long after Kagendra was transferred to the treatment room, Rudi arrived at the hospital. After getting news from Sadiyah about the state of Kagendra, Rudi immediately called Yusuf and Indriani who were on vacation.
Hearing Kagendra's condition, Yusuf and Indriani immediately decided to go home with the first flight they could take that day.
“Makanya, Bah. Having a private plane is important so that we can quickly get to the destination without having to wait for the schedule of commercial aircraft.” isak Indriani while cleaning their goods and children.
“We want to go home, Grandma?” asked Faras who saw Indriani tidying up their things in a hurry.
“Iya. Forgive Grandma because we have to go home before her time.” Indriani said while wiping away the tears that flowed with the back of her hand.
“Grandma why cry?” asked Faris while hugging Indriani.
Indriani could no longer hold back his cries, he hugged Faris and Faras tightly.
“Already, Mom. Pity the children if you see Mother crying like this.” said Yusuf trying to calm his wife.
“Have the plane yet?” asked Indriani on the sidelines sobs his tears.
“Already. The plane's ten o'clock. We leave in an hour. Breakfast at the airport only.”
“The plane is to Jakarta or directly to Bandung? If from Bandung it is closer.”
“We can schedule a fast flight to Jakarta. It's okay, the important thing is we can get a flight as soon as.”
Grateful, the flight schedule was not delayed so the plane landed safely and on time at Soeta airport. At the airport, their private driver was waiting so they could go straight to the hospital where Kagendra was being treated.
Rudi reported that Kagendra had successfully operated and is now in the treatment room.
“Where else are we going, Ki?’ faras asked Joseph.
“We're going to the hospital. Your father is being treated at the hospital.”
“Aki also do not know what your father is sick.” replied Yusuf.
“Mom knows yet? I was in Jogja.” asked Faras.
“Your mothers know. Now is accompanying dad in the hospital.”
“Dad is okay right?” Faris has started to sob.
“We do’a only so that Dad is healthy again.” Indriani said while hugging Faras and Faris.
After a journey of approximately three hours, they reached the hospital and immediately rushed to the room where Kagendra was treated.
Rudi was sitting in front of Kagendra's room.
“Rud, how is Endra?’ condition joseph asked Rudi.
“Bos has not been awake since the operation was completed earlier.” replied Rudi looked tired because there was a police officer who asked for information about the incident experienced by Kagendra.
Because the disaster experienced by Kagendra has entered the realm of crime, so the police intervened to solve the problem. The officers asked for information about who attacked and how Kagendra was stabbed by a knife.
Rudi accompanied Mr. Yaya to give testimony to officers from the police.
“Where to?” ask Indriani.
“There inside, Bu.”
“Titip kids first, Rud.”
“Good, Bu.”
“Aras want to see Father.”
“Aris also.”
“Later. Children should not enter the treatment room. Rudi, please take the kids home first. They should not be in the hospital.” Joseph ordered Rudi to take Faras and Faris home.
“But Aras wants to see Father.” Faras insisted on seeing Kagendra.
“Aris also.” Faris was already in tears.
Joseph went into Kagendra's treatment room to ask Sadiyah to persuade Faras and Faris to go home with Rudi.
Sadiyah came out of Kagendra's treatment room with puffy eyes from constant crying.
“Mother...” Faras and Faris poured into Sadiyah's arms.
“Daddy why, Bu?” ask Faras.
“Dad is sick. Aras and Aris went home with Om Rudi. Later if Dad is a little healthy, you can come see Dad. Now Dad is sleeping. Aras and Aris nurut same mother yes.” persuaded Sadiyah.
“Iya, Mum.” Faras and Faris nodded their heads together.
“Pak Rudi, please take Aras and Aris home. I'll ask Atep to take care of them.”
“Ready, Mrs Bos.”
