Love Lanterns
CHAPTER 44 ”A Portret”

The door of the operating room opened, a nurse came out of the room carrying a paper and cooler box "Hyunda's mother's family" he called.

Nathan who heard him stood up and walked over. "Sister, I'm his family, how is he?" after she stood near the sister.

"Sir, Ayunda's mother is bleeding, the blood stock that was prepared has all been exhausted, now if you can go to PMI, look for blood stock again. Here's the box and the cover letter from the hospital. If you can be soon sir"

Nathan was instantly pale, when the word bleeding was mentioned, what else was in the middle of such an important operation right now.

"Suster, Ayundanya how's she doing?" nathan asked as the nurse returned to the operating room.

"Still operating, sir. Patient, just wait"

"Kristis?" he asked again, the nurse nodded, "Still bleeding, so the father was asked to PMI, immediately yes sir"

"Thank you sister" Nathan said before the nurse returned to the operating room.

"Ayunda why?" mama Mira asked with a trembling voice.

"Aunty's looting, this I was asked to PMI to look for additional, because the four bags prepared this morning were all exhausted. Hopefully there is"

"Aunty and Ayunda's blood are the same, if less, can take aunt's blood."

"I try to find first" Nathan said to the two middle-aged women who are just as worried about Ayunda's condition.

At exactly eleven o'clock in the afternoon, Dr. Sam came out of the operating room, before Nathan, Mama Mira and Ms. Siska saw the lights of the sign of the operation finished turned off.

"Doctor, how's my son's operation going?" Mama Mira stood up first and approached Sam's doctor.

"Operation is done, there was a little problem, because it took a long time. Thank God, everything can be overcome. The tumor has been removed all, will be taken to the laboratory to check whether the danger or not, so we can determine the next action, will be in radiotherapy or chemotherapy if the tumor turns out to be cancer. Hopefully it's not dangerous, so just make a recovery"

A nurse came to bring a lump of meat in a jar "This is the tumor, the size is not too large, fortunately it is quickly known"

All saw a lump of meat in the jar that the nurse showed. Mama Mira was grateful, as the nurse said, Ayunda's disease was quickly discovered so quickly removed, although she was still worried about her daughter's current condition. Feeling dejavu, afraid Ayunda will be in a coma for a long time like before.

Remembering that Mama Mira immediately asked Dr. Sam. "When will Ayunda wake up, Doc?"

"We just wait, because now the mother's child is still under the influence of drugs. Just pray for the best. I'll take a break first"

Mama Mira thanked Doctor Sam before she left the three of them.

Nathan can breathe a sigh of relief the operation went smoothly, but still feel worried, Ayunda has not been aware and forced to move the ICU room instead of returning to his hospital room. Nathan lives alone at this time, Mama Mira and Siska's mother have returned to their respective homes after being asked by Nathan to rest.

When it showed at six o'clock in the afternoon, Nathan again saw Ayunda from behind the glass, already the umpteenth time he stood there, hoping that the little girl who made him always wanted to meet conscious from his sleep.

Ayunda felt that something was shaking her body, but her eyes felt heavy to open, inexplicably she did not feel like she usually "Yunda woke up.." the voice of Kevin she called her brother forced her to wake up.

"Wake up, it's too late" Kevin continues to shake his sister's body which today is very lazy.

With great difficulty Ayunda finally opened her eyes "Too late where sister?" tanyanya while collecting half her life who is still trying to remember.

"It's papa's death anniversary" hearing her brother's explanation, Ayunda directly got out of bed and ran to the bathroom.

All the families had gathered for the pilgrimage to the tomb of Mr. Richad when Ayunda came down from his room, he shed tears of his eyes, This is the third time he visited the mahkam Papa Richad, Papa Richad, but only this year he can visit her with other families, especially her grandfather.

Ayunda sat alone in the navel of her papa while sending prayers, while the other family members have returned to their residence, remaining Kevin the brother who is still faithful to accompany sitting beside her.

Clear crystals again flowed soaked Ayunda's face, the scorching sun did not discourage him to stay longer there. Ayunda continued to talk about everything that happened to her father, just as it used to be when the deceased was still by her side.

Instantly in his view all looked white, as white as the clouds in the blue sky. "Papa.." call Ayunda when he sees the figure of papa Richad smiling in front of him.

The dashing man looked as handsome as ever and stretched out his arms for his beautiful daughter, Ayunda ran inside the chest of her first love male field. "Rara kangen papa" he said.

"Papa also misses Rara" her hand stroking her daughter's fine hair. "But papa can not long accompany you dear" while continuing to stroke the hair of his favorite daughter.

"Darling, this is not your place, son, go back to where you should be, leave all this behind. Back where your mama was waiting for you" Papa Richad whispered in Ayunda's ear.

Papa Richad untangled his embrace, peeling Ayunda's forehead long enough, channeling affection that he had been unable to give for a long time.

"Papa came to ask you to come back and want to bless your relationship with Nathan, he's a good man, even he once asked me directly to marry you" papa Richad's words made Ayunda aware of the figure of Nathan who for several months continues to wait for answers from him.

"Go home. Many are waiting for you now, not only mama but also Nathan and others. Don't be sad anymore, be happy, and you'll be happy here too." Papa Richad stepped back away from Ayunda.

Pa... don't go.. don't stay Rara" Ayunda sobbed when she realized her papa's steps were getting away. The man smiled and turned his back and left Ayunda standing stiff.

"Yunda...., where are you? mama here son" Mama Mira's voice sounded vaguely with a sobbing that made Ayunda feel guilty.

"Mama.." That's all Ayunda could say, his vision was immediately dark. Ayunda is afraid of the darkness, her memory returning to Doctor Sami's remark saying it was likely that she would be blind.

Lay still but surely Ayunda tried to force open her eyes, hoping to see a beam of light. There was a bright light, but he could not see it clearly, several times he blinked his eyes hoping to see perfectly.

Her eyes may be blurred and still adjust the incoming light, but her hearing is very clear, Ayunda can hear the sound of hospital monitoring devices and her nose can smell disinfectant, yes, Ayunda remembered that she had surgery to remove the tumor. Papa Richad has brought Ayunda back to the world he should have been.
