Love That (No) Blind
Part 65: Strong Bonding

[Sara]

“Mama is now in the hospital. The butler said Mama had an accident,” so Ava said in her panic.

Sara then leaves with Ava and Arya while continuing to contact Agam to tell him.

“I'll go straight to the hospital. My position is close to the hospital,” replied Agam via his phone when Sara told him.

When he arrived at the hospital, he was very panicked, especially Ava. It was obvious how scared his sister-in-law was. It could be because the news obtained also said that Widia pulled a lot of blood from the wound on her head.

Let alone Ava, imagining it already makes Sara creeps.

“Mas Agam,” call Arya from the end of the hallway leading to a confined room with a large closed door. At the end there was already seen the brother was standing right in front of the door while folding his hands in front of the chest, a sign Agam was thinking hard.

“Mama what, Mas?”

“Mama is okay, is it?”

Arya and Ava almost simultaneously asked Agam. Equally panic. Equally worried. Both are equally unsettled.

“You guys calm down first,” said Agam calmed his sisters. “I just arrived too. The butler said, Mama was on the IGD, and now moved to this room for further inspection. I haven't seen the doctor yet. "

"Keep now, where is he? What's the same Mama? Why is it like this?," urged Ava constantly.

"I've heard her explanation. So I told you to go home" replied Agam.

“Why did I tell him to come back? I still have a lot of questions for him. Why did Mom get into this accident? Who's driver?” Ava's getting impatient.

Sara took a step forward and touched Ava's shoulder, then said, “Ava, calm down first.” He tries to calm Ava down, and forgets that the sister-in-law hates him.

But, miraculously, Ava was not angry.

“The butler said the last time he saw Mama was delivering tea to Vian in Papa's study. Vian came as soon as Mama arrived home,” said Agam explained as slow as possible to Ava and Arya.

Ava looked hard to believe it, but she did not comment anything, let alone dodge it. It was as if he was no longer surprised, but it was still difficult to accept.

“Once done, the butler came out. 30 minutes later the sound of the door slamming. As she went to look, Mama came out of the study room with her head already filled with blood. But, there is no Vian.”

Ava immediately retreated in silence. Her body trembled until it could be felt by Sara.

“Mama was very angry that time. He took the car and drove it himself. The driver was thrown out. Just as Mama's car came out of the fence, a truck hit her car.”

Ava drowned for a moment. He fell. Luckily Sara was nearby, and immediately hugged him, rubbing his back, giving him some calmness.

“Where might there be a truck there? Trucks are prohibited from passing there,” hardik Arya who already can not resist her anger since the name Vian called.

“That's what I asked Yuda to do to investigate this matter. He has now gone to the house to collect all the CCTV footage. The butler also told me to go home to save the CCTV footage in the workspace. I once remembered Papa used to hide one there just in case,” replied Agam who still kept his composure.

Arya was still going to ask again, but then a doctor with a scrub (*) of blue came out of the room that was always closed earlier.

“The injury on the patient's head is a very serious wound, especially on his back. This wound was not caused by an accident, but something very hard and was struck many times in that part. The violent clashes during the accident aggravated wounds on his head and almost all over his body,” the doctor said.

Ava started crying. Sara hugged him even more. Her heart went along to see Ava who was crying like that. But he could still hold back his tears from falling.

While Agam and Arya, like the guards for his family, continued to stand firm in front of the doctor receiving all the bad news.

“Her injury from a hard hit causes bleeding in part of the brain. We must immediately move the patient to the operating room and perform a major operation to prevent clumping and damage to other parts before it becomes fatal,” the doctor explained.

“Do everything!” Agam immediately cut off the doctor's speech. “Do whatever needs to be done, we will approve it.”

“But there is one thing to know.”

All of a sudden became quiet and tense. Their attention was focused only on the doctor. Ava even stopped crying.

“This operation aims to reduce the risk of adherence in patients. But the effect that will certainly occur is paralysis of the organs of footwork. This is due to severe trauma to the head due to the impact of objects, and also the spine due to accidents. The rest we can only know after operation.”

Agam nodded back. Weak-headed. “We understand,” he said softly.

The doctor nodded, then went back inside.

Ava was crying harder. Without hesitation, he leaned his head against Sara's chest.

Agam then sat on one of his legs in front of Ava, then gently stroked Ava's head.

“Mama will be fine. We leave everything to Allah,” said Agam lirih to calm his little sister.

Ava then got up and moved into Agam's arms. Arya who had just stood behind Agam now came down to hug Ava.

Sara who noticed the three hugging like that could only shed her tears.

Mom tried to separate them. But now, Mama even unite them, even though it must be in this condition.

Six hours passed, the operation was still not completed. No doctor or nurse came out to tell me. But a door-to-door monitor displaying a list of names of patients being treated there is enough to provide information that the operation has not been completed.

Arya paced at the door, then sat down next to Ava. If so, Ava then rests her head on Arya's shoulders. And Arya sat there.

While Agam and Sara are still sitting on the same bench. Sara's hand continued to hold Agam's hand as if she was channeling her power to her husband.

Everyone is nervous, anxious, and tired. Waiting is exhausting.

As soon as the information on the screen changed, all started to stand and wait for whoever would come out that door to meet them.

The same doctor finally came out giving his latest information.

“Operation went well. The bleeding can be overcome. But for now the patient is still in a pretty serious condition. We still need to monitor it for the next few hours before it is moved to the outpatient room.”

The tension is not over.

“For some time the rupture of blood vessels had clogged the brain. This causes his blood not to reach the brain during the time of the blockage. So, after this, the patient is sure to have difficulty speaking.”

And, it's not finished ...

“While the result of a hit that many times on the head, the patient will have difficulty hearing and seeing. The lacing also hit the side head to the eyes.”

“A-is it curable?,” asks Agam. He himself still could not escape his shock because of the previous doctor's information.

“Physiotherapy can help. But it probably won't be able to return 100% as it was. We still have to monitor further after this.”

Ava almost fell. Sara immediately catches him and takes him to sit down, while Agam and Arya are still talking to the doctor.

For the next two hours, Widia was still in the PACU room (**). During that time, Agam and Arya let Ava in and saw her – because the doctor only allowed one person. Once out he was already crying when telling the condition of the mother.

It is difficult to understand what Ava said while crying. But one thing Sara could catch was Widia's swollen face was not caused by a bruise.

What did Vian do to her?

Is correct. Vian was the only person suspected by everyone who was there. Even Ava thought the same thing.

What the hell's going on? No one knows yet. Even Yuda has not yet appeared giving the results of his investigation.

But one clue came when Agam's phone rang. I don't know from whom. Agam only replied with ‘Baik’ and ‘Hmm’.

“Who, Mas? Yudah? She said what?” Arya immediately searched for him with many questions once the call was decided.

“Head of server,” reply Agam. “Some people came to the house asking to vacate the main house immediately. The house is already on sale.”

“What?!”

“Yuda is taking care of it now.”

The situation is not getting better, now it is getting chaotic.

“Surely Al did it.” In her tears Ava suddenly said something that made her two brothers immediately turn to look at her.

“What do you mean, Ava? How can you know?,” urged Arya.

Sara who was beside Ava continued to hug him tightly and calm him down. As Arya came forward and urged her, Sara gave her a gesture to be calmer.

“A few months ago, Al once said finding a suitable invention for NFC developed. But the inventor asked for a very expensive price. Mama agreed to mortgage the main house. He gave Al a house letter to take care of. I was there when Mama handed it over.”

Afraid that Ava would receive the anger of her sisters, she cried and hid her face in Sara's arms.

Meanwhile, Agam and Arya had run out of words. They no longer have the energy to be angry. All they were doing right now was to step away from one and the other, then calm themselves down.

(**) Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) is where patients are taken after surgery to be closely monitored when anesthesia is lost. Patients usually only stay in the PACU for a few hours, but it may stay longer depending on the availability of the hospital room or if the patient's condition is not stable enough to allow it to be moved to a regular room to continue recovery.
