Mama got off the taxi with Maya and Mbak Wati. Two nurses rushed to greet them by pushing the cage and lifting the body of the mother onto it.
The girl hastily registered the mama in the receptionist section. That day also mama was forced to undergo hospitalization in connection with her increasingly critical illness.
Maya dialed Ryan's phone number to tell him how mom was doing.
“I'm in hospital XYZ at the moment. Mama's condition is getting worse.”
“Good. I'll be there soon.”
In the inpatient room, due to limited costs, Maya orders a second-class treatment room with three beds, which happens to have no other patients occupying the room so she is alone there.
“Sore,More. How is he?”
“Sore also..This is how aunty, Nak. If anything happens to aunt. Titip Maya yes!” order mom while wiping tears with the back of her hand.
Ryan shed tears, and so did Maya and Ms. Wati.
The man exited the room and returned with two nurses who moved the mother to another room.
“Where are you taking my mama,Zus?”ask Maya.
“This father asked us to move this mother to the VIP room,”sahut one of the nurses.
“Ryan..The cost is expensive in the VIP room,”whispers Maya while pulling Ryan's arm to the corner of the room.
“Nothing. I'll pay later.”
“Aduh...Why the hell should we always trouble you?”
“Kata papa, we are already a big family. So it should help each other,” said the guy while holding Maya's hand to the VIP room.
Ma'am Wati walked in the back while carrying a bag containing clothes belonging to mother.
Maya sits on the edge of the bed that her mother uses, while Ryan and Ma'am Wati sit on an L-shaped sofa in the room face-to-face.
“We stay first, Bu. If there is a need, just pull the bell located near the mother's head,”pamit the nurse while walking towards the exit.
“Oh yes,Zus. When is the doctor visit schedule?”maya asked a nurse who was walking in the back.
“Wait ya around 5,”hut while closing door.
They sat quietly while waiting for the doctor to come check on her.
“Drying...Drying.
A message came to Ryan's phone.
“Tante..My papa is on his way here. Want to see.”
“Aduh..Tante much trouble you guys.”
“Nothing,Tan. Hope you heal quickly!”
A knock on the door, a nurse dressed in white with a white headgear ushered an oncologist into the room.
“Include me doctor Andi, oncologist specialist at this hospital. I check the patient first yes..”
The mother was checked for blood pressure by a nurse while the doctor examined her with a stethoscope.
“Don't forget to take his blood to check in the laboratory,” said the doctor to the nurse next to him.
“Mom don't think things through. Trying to heal and a lot of rest! I'll be back again tomorrow morning,”pamitnya while leaving the room.
The time showed at 6pm and the sky outside the window was getting darker with a tinge of orange on the western horizon. Maya closes the window curtains after staring at the cars passing by on the highway for a few seconds.
“Tok..Tok..Tok.
A knock on the door and Mbak Wati rushed to open it.
“Halo all of them..” Om Robert's authoritative distinctive voice resonates throughout the room.
Behind him was a black-clad driver with a nametag on his right chest, carrying a parcel of fruit and putting it on the nightstand next to his bed.
Robert nodded his head at the driver who was walking towards the exit and closed it again.
“Where has the pain been reduced Mother Wulan?”ask papa while smiling.
“No advanced diagnosis yet,”sahut the mom.
“Let's sit down first Om,”pinta Maya with a friendly and friendly voice.
“What do you want to eat?Let Maya order online.”
“Wah..Om hurry.There is a small reunion with an old friend. You guys eat together. There is a small resto below here,”express Om Robert at length.
“Ah.papa. Once in a while eat with us why the hell?”rengen Ryan was spoiled as he leaned on the shoulder of the papa.
The girl simply smiled and showed off her two very deep dimples.
“I mean papa's arrival here. Want to ask permission to Ibu Wulan.”
“What engine,Pa?”ryan asked curiously.
Om Robert held up his sitting position on the sofa, his eyes looking straight at Aunt Wulan who was lying on the bed.
“So like this. Given the critical condition of Aunt Wulan and Maya's parents are only one. Papa proposed you get married in KUA, but secretly do not let the school know.”
“Hah? But we're still school Om,”protes the girl while raising her eyebrows.
“Om know…. After marriage you still go home to each other kok.”
“So what's the point of getting married,Pa?”asked Ryan in astonishment.
“To make Aunt Wulan calmer and accelerate her healing. Had something happened to her, Maya has officially become my daughter-in-law.”
Mama just smiled, her heart was broken. While Maya just fell silent on the sofa without being able to speak.
“What do you think,Ryan?”
“I don't know what to do, Pa. Then get married officially when?”
“Depending on the Maya campus will allow students to marry during their studies or not?If you can't do it yet you marry after Maya graduated from college.”
Ryan chuckles,”So wedding boongan,Pa?”
“That's how..It really is, but secretly. You guys stay apart and keep your good names.”
Ryan scratched his head which was not itchy at all. Maya and Mbak Wati looked at each other and felt strange.
Instantly the VIP room inhabited by Aunt Wulan suddenly quiet, all busy with their own thoughts.
“So you guys agree all?”ask Robert who is standing up.
“Why is it good papa deh.Gimana,May?”
“Originally not heard by the school,Om. School is 4 months away.”
“Alright then. Everyone take care of it! Om go home first. Take good care of your mama.”
Like a dictator, Om Robert's opinion can make everything silenced and obey his advice. For sure they resigned and believed that Om Robert's advice must have been fruitful virtue. Suddenly marriage is not an ambition for the two teenagers who are still in the 12th grade. They are more focused on learning so that the final exam results in optimal grades and how to get the best seat in college.
“Mama agrees Maya married impromptu?”asked Maya who made the mother shocked and widened her eyes wide.
“Mama don't know what to say,May. Mama just feels calmer if you have a new family.”
“Tuh right..Your mama agrees. You'll be a wife,”ledek Ryan with a laugh.
Maya slaps the lover's shoulder slowly while laughing.
“Inget..Wife in quotation marks. You can't do anything before there is an official wedding party,”timpal mama while staring at the two teenagers.
“Iya,Tan. Ryan promised to keep Maya old. Loving is not destructive but protecting.”
“Thank you, Son. Auntie hope you are happy and achieved all ideals.”
