Love That (No) Blind
Part 52-3: Another Story in Japan

[Sara]

Sara's 6th month is in Japan. Not a short time, but it feels so fast passing, especially when looking back on the times that have passed until now.

Treatment methods are not easy. Every day there will be a therapy session to step, even if only five or ten minutes.

Then there is a treatment session called detoxification, aiming to clean the raaccun-raaccun that has already entered the body of Agam every three days. If so, Agam will definitely have difficulty sleeping, plus nausea every time you eat. He gets angry more easily.

BRACKET!

“What am I eating for? It makes me nauseous!,” hardiknya once time finished doing a detox session. Sara used to take her out into the open to sit and eat together on one of the park benches.

“Ya already if you do not want to eat,” said Sara while closing the bento box that she had made since morning.

“Anything, huh? Apple, want?,” bargain Sara while thrusting a box of apples.

I also don't want to see it. Before long, Agam had already ruffled his hair with both hands, and groaned in annoyance. Signs he's starting to stress.

Sara began to draw herself closer to Agam and hugged her husband, leaving him to lean on her shoulder. His hand then gently rubbed Agam's wide back.

A few minutes like that was enough to make Agam calm down. Usually Agam can only eat at night, it must be persuaded again.

Everything that was lived in the first 6 months was also not an easy thing for Sara. There are times when he is tired, misses Mom and wants to go back to Indonesia. But back to being strong when he gives himself time to be alone when the opportunity arises.

Aozora is the best place to recover. Not only physical, but also mental. Patients are not only the sick, but also the people who accompany. There are many places in Aozora that Sara can make a place to restore her inner self when she needs it. Sitting near a lake, for example.

But the best of it all is sleeping in Agam's arms. There were times when Agam understood the fatigue Sara felt and made her calm, doing the same as Sara did to him when experiencing the same thing.

“Detoks succeeded. Raacun is getting less,” said Prof. Yamamoto while studying the development of Agam treatment. “In the near future, we will schedule an operation to repair the damage to the nerve muscles in the leg area.”

Sara clasped Agam's hand so happy she heard Prof's words. Yamamoto. That means, the stepping therapy that Agam undergoes will be able to show the results.

Not only Sara, Agam did. Sara could feel the grip of Agam's hand on her hand.

Agam and Sara were sitting at home enjoying an afternoon in engawa (*), when Sara suddenly got a call from a doctor in Indonesia.

“Congratulations, Mistress! Donors for Ms. Fira are ready. Fira's mother is going to have kidney surgery. The schedule will be sent me soon,” As soon as the news he heard.

Not playing around Sara got this news. He immediately hugged Agam who was sitting beside him.

Just thank you. Sara didn't know what to say other than that. Because of Agam, I could finally have a chance to do the transplant surgery.

But the real problem has just begun. Agam and Ibu's operating schedule was carried out on the same day. Sara began to dilemma.

“Don't worry about Mom. You accompany Agam. You can be accompanied by Mina,”, said Mother when Sara gave the news along with the problems that became her thoughts.

“Im sorry Sara, Mom,” Sara said in her sobs. “Not Sara don't want to accompany Mom.”

“Sshh ... Already, already. I understand, Sara. Your husband needs you too. Mom is fine. You don't worry,” said Mother again.

“I'll ask the doctor to tell you about the progress of the operation. The doctor didn't mind either, ma'am.”

“Iya ... Already, already ... Don'worry. The problem is over. I pray for you and your husband. Hopefully Agam can have his surgery well. Mother is too. Amin.”

“Amin, Mom. Amen ..”

Agam and I should never be made an option. Because when Sara was deciding on one of them, she seemed to be throwing away the other option. Though not so.

But circumstances forced him to choose. And what he felt at this moment, he was like throwing Mom away for choosing Agam. That made her unable to stop her crying while apologizing to Mom.

“I'm sorry Sara, Mom. Sorry Sara ...,” he said softly as he sobbed when the call with Mom ended.

......................

Sara was taking Agam for a walk around the house, when her steps came to a sudden halt. He saw the figure of the man he knew standing right in front of Agam's wheelchair.

“Raka?”

Sara's feelings are starting to get bad.
