Mr. Secretary: Destiny Bound
CHAPTER 51 – ALIF RESPONSE

TING!

Elevator clanking. The four of them got out of the elevator.

A beautiful woman in a white suit was accompanied by a nurse who stepped aside to let them out of the elevator. As her footsteps were about to enter the elevator, Indra turned around and immediately held back the elevator door.

“Doctor Nagita?” Indra looked at the female doctor, “Untung met here.”.

“Ah yes.. Mr. Indra, Mr. Bramasta.” Doctor Nagita nodded kindly, “There is a Great Lord as well and this... Taehyung BTS?”

Doctor Nagita came out of the elevator and cupped his palms in front of his chest because he was well memorized, the men in B Group and Sanjaya Group did not shake hands with the woman who was not his mahrom.

Doctor Nagita is one of the doctors who also serves as one of the board of directors at the hospital whose shares are also owned by Mommy. He is also the board of directors who once welcomed Mommy, Mommy and Adisti when attacked on the terrace of the lobby by a person paid by the mother of Adisti's former fiancee.

“Dia Anton, Director of Design Build in B Group,” Bramasta introduced Anton to Doctor Nagita.

Anton nodded and smiled amiably. Doctor Nagita nodded back and looked at Indra.

“Only will I go up to the 6th floor to talk to Mr. Indra in connection with the nurse's report at Mr. Indra's request.”

“I was just about to find a Doctor after speaking with the doctor who handles Alif.”.

Bramasta raised his eyebrows staring at Indra.

“Arini want to see Alif.” Indra looked at Bramasta and Doctor Nagita alternately.

Doctor Nagita nodded.

“I have allowed to the nurses on the 6th and 4th floor. But with strict procedures, given Alif's condition that is susceptible to infection,” Doctor Nagita requested a file on the nurse who accompanied him.

He quickly read the file he had in his hand.

“Operation this afternoon huh? Hopefully smoothly yes, this is a light operation really. Just install a hose to pull the gathered liquid. For the next liquid it will go down by itself gravitationally.”

Doctor Nagita continued again after the men in front of him seemed to be still digesting his words.

“Then this counts as a light operation, but since it is done in the head, it should be done very carefully.”

“Lightweight for doctors who are used to operating the head, but for us who are laymen, hearing the word surgery alone feels like getting a quake shake 8 on the Richter scale,” Indra ruffled his hair again.

“Ah yes..” Doctor Nagita laughed, “Then Ibu Arini wants to visit Alif, just tell the nurse. Everything is prepared. I've been briefing them all. Because this is the first time this has happened in this hospital.”

“Thank you very much, Doctor Nagita,” Indra nodded, “Alhamdulillah.”

In front of the ICU room, Adinda and Adisti were looking at the window of the room where Alif was being treated.

Alifs occupy their own space to avoid things that could cause infection. He was asleep against the background of several monitors and hoses and wires on his body.

Indra moved his feet in haste towards them. In front of the large window whose curtains had already been opened, Indra was stunned. Looking at Alif's small body with many hoses and cables as well as tools that are in Alif's mouth.

“Abang.” Adinda turned to Indra with wet eyes, “Pagi earlier, there is no tool that mouth. Looks like it just installed.”

“You've told Mami or Mommy about Alif's condition?” Indra looked at Adisti and Adinda.

Both shakes.

“We are waiting for Brother's instructions,” Adisti replied.

“Thank you.” Indra looked at Alif again, “Tell Alif's condition to Mami and Mommy, but don't tell Teh Arini. Let Brother explain it to Teh Arini.”

Agung and Bramasta nodded in agreement.

“Where is the doctor?” tanya Anton looked at Adisti and Arini.

“Still inside. The one wearing the yellow shirt behind his doctor's suit,” Adisti pointed to the bespectacled man who was talking to the male nurse in Alif's room.

Indra knocked on the window glass. The nurse and the doctor looked. Indra waved to the doctor. The nurse said something to Docer. The doctor nodded.

10 Minutes later, the yellow-shirt doctor came out of the ICU room. He immediately approached the sofa where Indra and the others were gathered.

“Assalamu’alaikum. Good day, I'm Doctor Kamal. I will operate on patient Alif Ammar in the evening.”

Indra stood up and shook his hand.

“I Indra Kusumawardhani. I am the guardian of patient Alif Ammar and patient Arini Kusumaningtyas, his mother Alif.”

“Wah, what dream did I have last night to meet great people here. The top brass of B Group, Miss Adisti and Mr. Supreme, also this.. Miss Adinda yes. My sister became the doctor of Miss Adinda when Miss was treated here.”

“Oh yes?” Adinda and Agung simultaneously spoke.

“Send our regards to bu doctor yes Pak.”

“Miss Adinda's development becomes a constant talk in our home.”Doctor Kamal smiled.

“Because Adinda is in a positive environment to encourage her recovery,” Bramasta smiled.

Doctor Kamal nodded in agreement.

“I hope a miracle also happens to patient Alif Ammar.”

Indra looked at Doker Kamal.

“Why does the drug not react to the buildup of fluid in his brain?”

“Tools that are in Alif's mouth.?”

“That's the intubator to insert the ventilator hose. The device serves to open the Alif respiratory tract. Wasn't the ventilator approval approved and signed by Mr Indra himself early this afternoon?” Doctor Kamal opened the file in his hand and showed Indra's signature.

“Astaghfirullah. I forgot..”.

“Enterprehensible. Surely you must calm the Mother Alif yes.”

Indra nodded.

“Can I meet him?” tanya Indra hoped to see the window of Alif's room.

“Sure. Why not. Maybe with the person he knows, his brain can respond.” Doctor Kamal stared at Indra rather long, “Tuan Indra's..”.

“Pope papa mengus,” Bramasta reply quickly, “Do’ just like that.”

“Aamiin.” Doctor Kamal spontaneously guaranteed Bramasta's speech.

“There's a quarry Bang.” Agung patted Indra's back, “Don't take too long because Abang had to explain to Teh Arini about Alif's state.”

“Iiya.” Indra rushed into the ICU.

Indra has been wearing sterile clothes provided for visitors. Wear footwear also special headgear. His heart thumped into the room Alif was in.

The aroma of the medicine is disguised by the refreshing apple-scented room perfume.

“Assalamu’alaikum Sister.” Indra bent over Alif's ear, “Kakak this morning why? Om was still at school when Aunt Dinda called while crying about the condition of Sister.”

Alif. Only the sound of breathing from the ventilator machine was also the static sound of medical equipment in the room. Indra looked at the window, all of them were staring at the two of them from outside the window.

“Kakk.. Little sister doesn't know about Brother Alif's situation now. My sister must be sad later this afternoon. Sister is still in school.” Indra's eyes are wet.

Indra held Alif's hand. His palms felt tiny compared to his palms. Indra plays Jemari Alif.

“Kakak... later in the afternoon, Brother do not be afraid yes.. Chief Sister will..” Indra was silent, he was looking for a sentence that was easy to understand and did not scare Alif.

He does not want to use the word “operasi” to Alif who is still small. As an adult, he shuddered at the word let alone a child. Indra wiped her increasingly wet cheeks.

“Kakk... Brother has robot toys not?” Indra wiped her cheeks with the back of her hand.

His voice is riveting. His index finger was placed between Alif's thumb and index finger. Soft golden felt on Indra index finger. He looked in disbelief at his index finger that was being held by Alif.

Hoping for Alif to open his eyes, Indra looked at Alif's face. But Alif was still closed with pliable eyelashes and an intubator in his mouth.

Indra looked at the male nurse who was observing Alif's monitor through the computer screen from his desk. He looked back at Indra. Then he pointed at the monitor screen.

He gestured with his hand to keep Alif talking. Indra nodded in understanding.

“Kakak... Have robot toys? Frequently play with Brother?” hoping for some more response from Alif he stared at his index finger. But there was no movement on his index.

“Sometimes, robot toys can be damaged by impact due to a fall. Aye right?” Indra spoke while staring at Alif, “Kakak or Adik ever scramble the robot toy to make it damaged?”

The golden on his index finger felt again. Indra continued speaking with a smile even though her cheeks were wet.

“Kakk.. Om hope that the robot toys are not thrown away.. It can still be repaired. Later we ask Om Anton to fix the robot toy Brother huh?”

“Head Brother.. later in the afternoon will be fixed first yes. The Doctor said, there is fluid leaking inside Brother's head. The liquid must be removed first. So that your head does not hurt anymore, do not get dizzy again.”.

Indra was silent for a moment. Trying to feel the response of Alif.

“So that Brother can wake up again. Talk again with everything. Brave brother yes.. We will all wait for Brother outside the room. In order for Big Brother to recover quickly, Om can hug Big Brother while sleeping again... Alif likes to sleep hugged Om Indra?” Indra wiped her cheeks with the back of her hand again.

Alif's response was strong this time. Indra was shocked.

“Om would like to bring Mother here. Brother want to see Mother? Kangen Mother?”

Again, a strong squeeze was felt on his index finger.

“Om pick up Mother first yes.. Alif is waiting here. Do not be afraid, outside there is Aunt Dinda, Aunt Disti, Om Bram, Om Agung also Om Anton who take care of Brother.”

Indra stood up from the side seat of Alif's bed. Clapping Alif's palm.

“Om will be here again, Sister.. with Mommy.”

There was no response from Alif. Indra turned. Step towards the nurse's desk. The nurse showed Indra two thumbs.
