My Brother's Bed Rattles
Arga Shock

Meanwhile, at the Hospital.

After almost a week Arga was unconscious, he was finally able to squirm his body. Slowly Arga opened his eyes and then looked around the white room.

"Mas Arga, are you conscious?" mona asked as she approached the man's bed.

"Missy?" Arga tried to get up from his position, but could not.

"Where am I, Mona?" asked Arga with a panicked face.

"At the Hospital" Mona answered briefly and clearly. He landed his butt in a chair beside Arga's bed.

"The Hospital?" Arga again circulated his gaze and now he realized that he was lying in a hospital room. Evidently with an infusion bottle hanging next to the bed and a needle stuck on his wrist.

"W-what really happened to me?" arga asked confusedly and began to remember the incident that happened on the day of the accident.

"Nella!"

Suddenly Arga remembered the woman that night. A woman who claims to have HIV and has passed the disgusting disease on to her. Arga panicked again, wanting to see the woman and ask her once more. Wishing that what Nella said was just a lie.

"I have to see him!" muttered Arga.

Mona snorted annoyedly because at times like this, Arga still remembered the naughty woman.

"Huf! Nella again," muttered Mona as she spun her eyeballs.

Arga hurriedly removed the infusion needle attached to his wrist. Seeing this, Mona panicked. He tried to hold Arga back, but the man remained stubborn.

"What are you doing, Mom?"

"I have to see Nella!" answer Arga firmly.

"Nella again! Look at your current condition, Mum! As long as you were treated here, he never even visited you once!" furious Mona.

"You don't understand, Mona. You better shut up!" angrily Arga while throwing the needle and hose infusion.

Arga uncovers a blanket that covers the abdomen to the legs. He felt something strange about his lower limbs at that moment. And when the blanket was opened, Arga's eyes were wide.

"My legs! Where's my leg?" screeched Arga with a deathly pale face when he saw that his foot was gone.

The man kept screaming and screaming. Arga did not accept that he had lost one of his legs. Which means now he is flawed and becomes an imperfect man.

"Calm down, Arga!" Mona looked annoyed that the man was crying like a boy who was not obeyed by her will.

"What really happened to me, Mona? What the hell is going on with me?" lirih Arga in between her sobs.

"Mas's leg was crushed by the car and could not be saved again. The doctor was forced to take this action to save your life, Mas!" obviously Mona.

"No! No way! It's impossible" said Arga, shaking his head. He tried to deny the harsh reality. But everything has happened. Regretting is no use.

A few days later.

"How's your husband doing, son?" ask Mr. Abdi who just arrived at the Hospital. He approached Mona who was sitting pensively in a chair located in front of the room.

"Eh, Dad." Mona smiled faintly and then invited Mr. Abdi and Ms. Lydia to sit with him.

"Hmmm ...." Mr. Abdi breathed heavily. "May all be finished quickly. But ...."

"But why, Dad?" Mona looked at Mr. Abdi with an astonished face.

"With his current condition, is he still able to cooperate like he used to? In addition, is it possible that the company will continue to employ itself?" continued Mr. Abdi with an anxious face looking at Mona.

As a father, of course Mr. Abi worried about how the fate of Mona in the future. Especially now that Mona is pregnant and needs a lot of money. Arga is no longer expected.

"I thought about it too, Dad. But, anyway I still love Mas Arga. Hopefully after this there is a way out for all the problems that we are facing," replied Mona.

Just then, a nurse arrived and approached them. The nurse smiled and said to Mona.

"Mona's mother?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"The doctor wants to talk to you. It's about your husband's condition" the nurse continued.

Mona nodded slowly and then got up from her position.

"For a moment, Dad, Mom."

"Yes" said Mr. Abdi and Ms. Lydia simultaneously.

Mona immediately followed the nurse, who led her to the doctor's office. Upon arrival, Mona immediately came in and sat down at the doctor's desk.

"What's up, Doc?" mona asked while linking her two eyebrows in wonder.

"Ehm, this is about your husband, Ms. Mona."

"Why else, Doc? Is there anything to do again?" ask Mona who is starting to panic.

The doctor shook his head slowly. He breathed a heavy sigh then answered a question from Mona. "No, Ma'am, that's not it. But this is much more important. It's about the illness Mr. Arga is suffering from."

"Disease? What other diseases?" Mona was curious.

"Sir Arga is HIV positive."

"HIV?" screeched Mona with perfectly rounded eyes. However, he did not deny it. He knew how Arga was behind him.

"That's why we put Mr. Arga in a different room than any other patient. Actually we want to convey this directly to Mr. Arga. However, unfortunately his current condition is very unlikely," explained the Doctor.

Seeing Mona who looked shocked, the Doctor tried to calm her down.

"Actually HIV can infect someone without having sex, Ma'am. Mr. Arga could have been infected through other means ...." Doctors have not yet explained it, Mona has interrupted him.

"No need to explain, Doc. I already know exactly how Mas Arga got that disgusting disease!" mona growled while sobbing.

The doctor fell silent while watching Mona who was now waltzing away leaving her room.
