KELANA
Glimmer of Hope

There is a kind of anecdote that says that if it has entered the ICU room it must be dead, or if it has come out of the ICU it will also die.

Indeed, the language seems rude, but that is what it is in the view of the community.

Actually, it is not without reason why the anecdote develops in society.

Patients who enter the ICU are patients with very severe disease so it is only natural that among them can not survive.

Then why after getting out of the ICU can also die?

It could be because while in the ICU the patient is accustomed to using a variety of aids that can monitor health for 24 hours or even 48 hours.

After getting out of there, not ready because there are no more aids and health control tools so it becomes a little negligent.

Is it really like that?

It could be yes.....

Why so???

Well, Mumu is not a person who knows....!

In fact, in Indonesia, the death rate in the ICU reached 27.6%.

But don't ask where Mumu got those numbers.

When the two of them arrived at RSUD Tengku Rafi'an Siak, Mumu could feel the atmosphere of mourning. A deep sense of sadness.

Drg. Saloka immediately took Mumu to the ICU room of course after passing several procedures.

There was only Mr. Chairman and who was waiting for his wife's body in a state of lethargy.

If met in the street people would not have expected that this man is one of the very important in Meranti, the real true loss of his wife has made him change completely.

Mumu could feel that this man loved his wife very much, otherwise her attitude would not be like that.

"We are deeply saddened, sir. May Ibuk be placed in a proper place, and you also be given patience and fortitude." Drg. Saloka was also sad to see the condition of the Chairman like that.

Responding to drg. Saloka, the Chief could only smile a little and say impassively, "Thank you, sir." Then he looked back at his wife's face with affection. He doesn't care anymore about drg. Saloka and Mumu were still standing not far from him.

It was as if there was only him and his wife, there was no one else there.

Since being told by the doctor about the fate of his wife, Mr. Chairman has not moved from this room.

He did not attempt to leave, did not plan to call someone and there was no effort to take care of the removal of his wife's body from RSUD.

He just sat in silence here while staring at his wife's face.

His lips seemed to tremble as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out.

It's just that if observed carefully it will appear clear tears that come out of the corner of both eyes.

If nothing new feels! Maybe that was one of the things that the current Chairman felt.

But when they entered here, they did not see the companion doctor, I don't know where he went.

Drg. Saloka went wrong. He felt it was out of place to stay here to watch the grieving Chairman while he did not have enough ideas to try to comfort him. He glanced at Mumu wanting to say something, just asking for an opinion, but his lips were unable to say anything seeing the seriousness on Mumu's face that was staring at the Chairman's wife.

'What does all this mean? Has Mumu become gil* suddenly interested in someone else's wife, what else is a deceased person?'

Drg. Saloka growling. This child needs to be taught a lesson, because it shows an improper attitude and in the wrong conditions.

As he planned to pin Mumu's head, he saw Mumu step towards the Chairman and said, "Sir, let me hold your wife's pulse for a moment?"

'Ampuunnn..has already. Saloka widened her eyes as both hands held onto her suddenly aching head.

It is too late to prevent it, drg. Saloka only said in a half-screaming tone, "You stop!!! What do you want to do???!!"

The Chief who was still in a half daze from the grief slowly twisted his neck, looking at Mumu, "What does the doctor want to check?"

In her grief she is so out of focus that she considers Mumu an ICU doctor.

"I can't be sure before I check your wife's pulse." drg. Saloka who heard it could only gape.

Mumu is only an expert in curing poison. Does that mean Mr. Chairman's wife is actually exposed to poison?

But it is not too late to treat it if the President's wife is really poisoned.

Drg. Saloka remained silent. He just stared in confusion at Mumu. The more he tried to get to know Mumu the more mysteries that enveloped him.

Therefore he only wanted to see the development of the situation first.

Initially drg. Saloka thought that the Chief would definitely refuse Mumu to check on him, but strangely the Chief had to step back his chair and allow Mumu to check on him.

He had not thought of what could be checked against a corpse.

Mumu directly checked the pulse of the 'body' carefully. He closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing to concentrate.

In ordinary circumstances Mumu did not need to do that, just she calmed herself down for a while then she was already able to concentrate.

But this time is different. He needs to condition his heart and mind as calmly as possible.

Earlier when he tried to check the condition of the woman's body, even though he did not find a pulse or breath, he said, but Mumu felt as if there were still remnants of life marks being emitted from the figure, although it is very weak and missing the growth so that Mumu can not be sure before doing a deep examination.

Mumu frowned, she could not feel anything, but the sign of life was still there. Like a candle, only the last flame remains, if exposed to the wind a little then the candle will be extinguished for eternity.

Mumu did not give up. He checked it again. Sweat condensed on his forehead as a sign he had exerted his energy as strongly as possible.

Finally, there, in the distance, Mumu saw a glimmer of light among the darkness. The light was so small that Mumu could not detect it as soon as possible.

Even though he was able to find the light did not make Mumu's facial water happy, because he knew his expectations were very thin, much thinner than the condition of Handoko's brother Amran before.

Therefore he was not sure whether he could help him or not, because the very small light could be extinguished at any time.
