UNTREATED

Septian pacing back and forth in front of ER. She can't calm down before she hears that Nara and their baby are okay. Recalling Nara's deathly pale face as she was brought into the ER, Septian made a tremendous anxious. His lips incessantly recite dhikr and prayer. Wishing God would still allow him and Nara to become parents.

"Silence Sep." Said Johan while patting Septian on the shoulder.

"Where can I calm down Jo. My wife and my son are not yet clear." Septian randomized his hair in frustration. "So that's how Jo told me, Nara fell what did?"

Johan was confused where to start. He really likes Mayang. But that doesn't mean he has to hide the facts, does it? And finally, he told me the chronology of the incident in the campus earlier.

"Si Mayang never bosen make a tantrum. I used to be with Nurul. He did not count him. But I'm always sorry to remember he was like my own brother. But this time, if anything happens to Nara or our son. I'll make the same calculation with him." Press Septian while punching ER wall. He needs to channel his bad taste to Mayang.

"Hopefully Bu Nara and your son are good." Johan.

Soon the doctor came out and called Nara's family. Septian and Johan, the two men immediately approached the doctor.

"I'm her husband doc. How's my wife doing?" Ask Septian.

"Praise me honestly, your wife and the fetus in her womb are fine."

"Alhamdulillah." Septian and Johan said simultaneously.

"But your wife is experiencing flecks. So bedrest should be at least 3 days."

"Is that dangerous, doc?"

"Dangerous if left unchecked. So I suggest that your wife be hospitalized so that her development can continue to be monitored."

"Do whatever's best for my wife and daughter doc."

"All right then."

"Can I see my wife's condition?"

"Please."

Septian goes inside immediately. He saw Nara lying on top of a gurney with a pale face. His eyes still looked red from crying. On the way to the hospital, Nara cried.

"Dude." Call Nara when she sees her husband coming.

Septian approached him and stood beside the gurney and grabbed Nara by the hand.

"All is well. Don't be sad. Don't think weird. Does it still hurt?"

Nara shakes.

Johan enters to see Nara's condition and returns the car keys.

"Where are you, okay?" Ask Johan.

Nara simply replied with a nod of her head.

"Sep, I'll go home first." He handed the car keys to Septian.

"Thank you so much Jo."

"same. Excuse me, ma'am." Johan immediately left them.

Septian tidied Nara's messy hair around her face and then kissed her forehead.

"If anyone's sick, tell your brother."

"I'm sorry, bang. I'm careless, I'm __"

"Udah, no, Johan told me everything. It's not your fault. The important thing is that you and your child are okay. Don't think about anything else."

Their chatter is halted when the sisters come and tell Septian to take care of Nara's move to the treatment room.

Septian immediately headed for the administration place to get a room.

"You want to be treated in what class, sir?" Ask the beautiful woman, the administrative officer.

What a confusing question for Septian. Class 2 or 3, it's impossible. Because you have to be with other patients. What would her in-laws say if they found out Nara was being treated in that class. VVIP, it feels impossible. Given the funds he had was very limited.

"What class sir?" The officer asked again because Septian did not give an answer.

"May I see the details of the price of each room?"

The officer nodded then took out a piece of paper containing the details of the prices of each room.

Septian eyes perfectly rounded see what the price per day in the VVIP room. All his life, only today did he know that it was as expensive as a VVIP treatment room. Only room, already a million more per day. That's not another cost.

Septian nibbled his temple. Just to choose the treatment room alone, it is this late. The lack of funds makes everything difficult.

"Class 1." Finally, with all consideration, he chose the middle one.

"Alright, then please fill out the patient data form and make a deposit. After that, we'll take care of the transfer."

After doing all the procedures, Septian returned to Nara's place.

...*****...

Nara's transfer process is complete. The woman also wears a patient's shirt. But Septian, the man sat pensively beside the bed. It seems like he has a lot of thoughts. And the main thing, of course, was thinking about her in-laws' response when she found out Nara was being treated in first grade. Not VIP or even VVIP.

"Good bang, I forgot today's trial brother. How'd it go?"

"Alhamdulillah my brother passed Ra."

"What's the bang?"

"I'm sorry Ra. Just give you treatment in Class 1." He held Nara's hand. Maybe first-class care is already amazing for his family. Even when Sarah was sick, her father was only able to provide 2nd class service. But for Nara's family, it was clearly different.

"Gosh bang, I thought you were thinking shit." Nara geleng. "This is great bang. I'm not papa here. The important thing is not to interfere with other patients. If I get mixed up, I'm not comfortable, I can't sleep. Don't think about it. I'm comfortable here." Nara brightly smiled and rubbed Septian's arms. She must begin to learn to accept her husband's circumstances. Learn to understand, to the extent of her husband's ability.

Maybe it's okay for Nara. The woman can accept. But her parents, did they accept her child being treated in the first grade?

"I should be the one apologizing. Today should be a celebration for you. But I'm gonna have to bedrest like this." Nara said with a face full of regret.

"Don't think about it Ra. What matters is you and our son." Septian rubbed Nara's stomach. "You all make brothers." Septian grabbed Nara's hand and kissed her many times.

"Why haven't you come yet, bang?" Nara's been calling Mamamya since the ER. But since her mother was busy taking care of both Kinan children, it might be too late. Yesterday Kinan gave birth, but because Septian is still busy dealing with the thesis. They haven't seen yet.

"A little while Ra. You've been telling me not yet, the room where you were treated?"

"Udah."

"Or maybe Kinan's kid's fussy, so can't be left behind."

"Yes time."

...*******...

Hearing Nara enter the hospital clearly made Mama Tiur anxious. He wants to rush to the hospital but Kinan's son is fussy. Their caretaker even until the quiescence was suppressed who continued to search for her mother.

After they calmed down, Mama Tiur immediately rushed to the hospital. He didn't tell Papa Satrio because there was a seminar.

As he was about to enter the lobby, he saw someone he knew being pushed into the safe.

"Arumi." Mumbled slowly. The woman with the big belly looked in pain. It seems like she is about to give birth. But where's his family? did not see Abi or his in-laws who accompanied.

Arumi's mother is dead, and her father is remarried. Since then, his relationship with his father has been strained.

Maybe in the past, Mama Tiur will come straight to him. Remembering she is Nara's best friend. But not for now. Everything has changed. She was no longer his daughter's best friend that he should care about.

"Mama." Nara cried when she saw her mother coming.

"Darling, you're okay, right?" Mama Tiur was very worried.

"Good, huh."

"Mama's grandson?" He asked while rubbing Nara's stomach.

"Alhamdulillah is good too Ma. But I have to bedrest a few days."

"Thank God then. Mom was worried when you called."

"Sit down." Septian invited Mama Tiur to sit in the chair he had been sitting in.

Mama Tiur sat down while watching the state of the room. And that, obviously makes Septian coriander.

"Where is Kinan mah?"

"Dear, I can go home tomorrow too."

"If only I didn't have to bedrest, I would've looked at Kinan. And if only we were treated in the same hospital, it would be good."

"You don't have to think about your sister first. You just rest, let's recover soon and go home."

Nara nodded.

"Sep, can we talk to you for a second, both." Septian gasped for breath. It seems his fear is real. Her in-laws must have objected to Nara's treatment room.

"both? Nara can't be horrified like that, huh?"

"But baby." Answer while moving from sitting. Septian immediately followed his mother-in-law's step out of the room.

"Why not VIP?" mama Tiur asked straight to the core of the matter.

"Sorry Ma, but......" Septian bowed shyly..

"Because of charge?"

"Class 1 is also good. Nara doesn't mind either. He's comfortable."

"Maybe Nara doesn't mind, but the papa? Obviously he would object. Before the papa comes, immediately move Nara to VIP or VVIP." Mama Tiur took a card from her wallet and thrust it at Septian.

"Wear this."

"But mah." Septian clearly objected.

"Mama did not want to cause a commotion just because of his papa protest. Better to say, mom. No offense, you just want the best. Mom and Dad are looking for money for Nara. So never mind using any facilities from us. Especially if it's for Nara. Already, take this. Take care of Nara's move soon."

Mama Tiur handed the card to Septian and told him the pin. It might seem embarrassing to Septian. But let it be, do not think about self-esteem first. This is for the good of Nara and their children.

"You hold it for as long as Nara's still in the hospital." Then he went back into Nara's room.
