Verel sat outside the operating room. His two hands supported the head which he bowed deeply.
It was such a shock that a persistent Verel Adhelard shed tears
His mind was only on Delmira and the fetus in Delmira's womb.
"Son Verel."
The raucous voice that called out his name made Verel's head lift.
Verel looked at the old woman who was gasping for breath, her face so anxious, and her eyes were careless.
"What is the state of non Delmira?" lontar Sa'diyah, quivering and hopeful Delmira will be fine.
Verel fell silent, his mouth unable to answer.
"How's Nak?" repeat mbok Sa'diyah because Verel has not yet opened his voice.
Sa'diyah looked limp, the silence of Verel can be interpreted as nonanya in a bad state, Raka the assistant immediately memapah Sa'diyah sitting next to Verel.
They were silent, with their own minds.
"Sorry, the patient's family on behalf of Delmira Cinta Kusuma. Anyone with blood type A. Patients lack 2 bags of blood and stock in our hospital while empty?" ask a nurse.
"Take my Sus!" verel stood up from his seat.
Raka immediately straightened his gaze, he knew very well his master was phobic of needles. But this time, what he did was amazing.
"Please come with us sir, let us check first" said the nurse.
After checking, Verel's face looks disappointed because the blood type he has is not appropriate.
Raka who already knew her blood type A immediately asked for a check of eligibility for blood transfusion. Coincidentally declared feasible, Raka immediately did a transfusion.
Another bag of blood was taken from one of Verel's men who also donated blood.
Verel sat back in the front waiting chair of the operating room.
After two hours the team of doctors came out and some nurses pushed Delmira's bed into the treatment room.
Verel's legs were chasing the rolling bed wheel but his legs stopped when one of the doctors called a family representative.
Verel turned his head, I'm Doc" said Verel approaching the doctor.
"Sorry sir, we've fought to save both. But God has other wills, the Father's son we cannot help. While the condition of Mr. Alhamdulillah's wife has passed through a critical period."
The doctor's words were like a bolt of lightning for Verel until he was silent without a sound.
"Can we look at the patient?" lontar Verel, with a trembling voice after a long silence.
"Let the patient dostirakhat first, he is also not awake," replied the doctor.
"I want the best service from this hospital. Whatever it costs" Verel said.
The doctor threw a smile, "God willing, we will provide the best service" replied the doctor.
Meanwhile, Mbok Sa'diyah directly take care of the baby's funeral.
Verel sat in the tomb after following to take care of the funeral.
The people who participated in the funeral procession, one by one left the tomb. Verel was still standing looking at the small mound of ground. His feet are now resting near the tomb.
"Dad only looks at you once, son, Daddy also holds you once in a lifetime. I'm sorry I can't take good care of you," Verel's hand felt a small headstone attached to the baby's grave that he just looked at and just got carried away, but had to part with death.
"Say your face is like Dad's" the two corners of Verel's lips were drawn into a smile, "we haven't had time to play ball with Nak, but God loves you more. I'm sure you'll be happy in heaven" Verel said, his hand moving quickly to wipe away the clear liquid coming out of his eyes and nose.
A kiss landed on that small tombstone. Verel got up from his seat with shaky steps leaving the grave of his son. He remembered that the woman he loved was lying helpless in the hospital.
"Raka, go straight to the hospital" Verel said in a limp tone.
"Okay sir" answered Raka.
...****************...
"Sadaqallahul adhim."
Sa'diyah ended his salary and placed the Qur'an in a drawer.
Sa'diyah's face was now fixedly staring at Verel.
'This man, he really sincerely loves non Delmira, ' inner Sa'diyah.
"Are you not hungry?" tanya Sa'diyah then, saw the plastic package containing food that Raka brought remained untouched by Verel.
"Mbok used to eat, let me take care of Delmira," Verel replied without turning his gaze to Delmira.
"We eat together" asked Sa'diyah, "non Delmira would be angry if his friend did not want to eat because of him," continued Sa'diyah.
"I_"
Verel's words stopped seeing Sa'diyah throw a smile, nodding her head. A signal that Verel would accept his invitation.
Verel said he got up from his seat and moved to a long sofa not far from the patient's bed.
"Eat," the pinta Sa'diyah thrust a pack of food at Verel. One more pack was opened and ready to be eaten by him.
"Thank you Mbok" said Verel, opening his mouth to eat rice.
"Take the meal" pinta Sa'diyah.
"Already Mbok, I'm full."
"It's been two days you've been keeping non Delmira, don't forget to eat on time. How many mouthfuls, the important thing is that your stomach is filled, do not empty. To keep non Delmira must be physically strong and healthy."
Verel replied with a small nod.
'I know, actually you were good to me mbok, only. all this time you didn't show me, ' Inner Verel.
Then Verel sat back in the chair near the patient's bed.
Long Verel silently scanned Delmira's face, without a single inch passed from his eyes, "You are not bored, you have been sleeping for 2 days," said Verel.
Verel's hand was actually eager to feel Delmira's face, pulled the helplessly drooping hand and then kissed it gently.
But Verel knew it was just a wish. There's no way he's doing that. If only in a conscious state, Delmira would be angry. This is the basis for Verel refraining from pouring out affection with body language. Moreover, Delmira often reminded that not mahram should not touch each other.
"You intentionally, didn't wake up? You're afraid I'm angry huh? I promise Del, I won't be mad at you?" connect Verel with a voice that starts to sound raucous.
"I know, you did it because you wanted to save me. And..without your concern, there are lives of you and our precious baby more than my life has been a victim."
Verel's hand moved sweeping away the tears that were still welling up in the eye patch. Verel's heart was very sick, indeed disappointed by the actions of Delmira who had endangered his own life and even the lives of children in the womb.
However, Verel was more self-blame for the incident that had occurred.
Sa'diyah was silent watching everything.
Meanwhile, Sapphira who had just entered the room was forced to refrain from greeting. Moreover, Raka instead pulled the back of her collar to get out of the room.
"Issst! Want what!?" sapphires
"Don't go in first, give Mr. Verel time to talk to non Delmira" Raka said.
"Issst! Give me some time!? The bedside chair was hot because it was held up by Verel!" sindir Safira, "me who is always given only a moment! After that, I was told to go home. Uh, this has not been rebuked by mbak Del, even told to leave the room!" gerutu Sapphira's.
"You must not have eaten, we have eaten first" Raka asked without answering the rebuttal from Sapphira.
"Hmmm," resigned Safira because his stomach was already very hungry.
But, when Safira and Raka's feet will step. Suddenly surprised by the arrival of doctors who hastily entered the treatment room Delmira.
