Ken was taken to the NICU. The seizure was resolved, but for more intensive observation, Ken was treated in a special room. The doctor said it was done to make sure there was no damage to his brain nerves.
Rumi's cry had subsided, but her heart was broken because she could only see through the glass. An infusion hose, oxygen and a device were attached to the little baby's head.
So empty of mind, he just contacted Ms. Narmi. He would not contact Nehan because he did not want to interfere, after all he had allowed Nehan to leave. Or even contact Juna because it was too troublesome.
Ken's small movements made him want to barge inside. Holding the tiny hands of her child who now must be feeling uncomfortable and in pain.
"Suster, I want to go in waiting inside," I can't bear to see.
"In the meantime mother, the doctor's message can be accompanied for a while longer, if the condition is stable, while we observe."
"But sister..."
"Patient mother, this is for the good of her sister too."
Yes, if for Ken's sake, Rumi no longer refuted. In this confused state makes Rumi can not hear the sound of a cellphone that continues to ring in his pocket. By the time she realized, she had contacted him several times. The last one was my mom sending a message.
Rum, mom's outside. You get out for a second.
"Mother out for a while to meet you, dear" whispered Rumi from behind the glass.
Rumi left the room. At the door he saw Miss Narmi, Mbok Nah and Arjuna.
"My wife, Rum?" Narmi's mother was encouraged to welcome Rumi.
[how's my grandson, Rum?]
"So had another seizure, ma'am. But it's good now."
"Wo is Nduk, piye ya kok ngene iki," Bu Narmi's lips began to soften with tears.
[wo kids, how can this be]
"So calm mother, pray for her granddaughter strongly, may nothing serious," Arjuna tried to calm down. He could not bear to see Rumi whose face pias.
"Ndoro princess..."
"Mbok Well come with me, mother here first yes," Rumi pulled Mbok Nah a little away.
"Mbok, try to how later you have to go home. I don't want you to stay here, it's nothing, I'm afraid you cry, Ken will recover even a sick mother. I'm also so saddened to see mom so sad."
"But if I'm the same mbakyu Narmi come home, who accompanied Ndoro's daughter here?"
"There was Juna who accompanied me. Look, right now he's talking to the doctor. I'll call Mr. Dul to pick up mom and mbok Nah."
"Mas Han arrived home?"
"Already Ndoro. just the clean clothes Ndak kebawa, it looks like Ndoro Kakung is in a hurry. This is what we brought."
"Yes, it's okay."
After talking for a while. Rumi opened the messaging app on her phone. Sending a message to Mr. Dul to pick up Mom and Mbok Nah to the hospital.
"Rome..."
"Hemm," Rumi looked at Juna behind her.
"Are you okay?"
Rumi shook her head, "i'm scared, mas," trying to hold back the tears.
"Ken had a seizure after Mas Han left, I was scared."
"Don't be afraid that I'm here, Rum," Juna pulled Rumi's hand and hugged her tightly.
Rumi immediately broke away, not wanting to be in the arms of a man who was not his vision.
"Rum, have you told Nehan yet?" mother's grouse approached.
"Not yet ma'am, my mind is full. After all, there is something that must be taken care of the same Han."
"What business is more important than waiting for a sick child.What dealings!!!"
"Mom, don't yell" whispered Rumi.
"Mother was almost angry when Han came to the house carrying dirty clothes, but I could stand it. Ask to prepare clean clothes but suddenly left because there is important business."
Rumi was silent speechless, her mother was emotional. If he gets to the extent of what really happened, the mother will be even more angry.
"If you don't want to call Nehan, mother will!"
"Mom, don't bother Mas Han just yet!"
"Why?! I didn't call your ex-husband Rum. I called the father of the mother's grandchild, don't ban it!!!"
"Shut up, Rum!"
Arjuna looked at Rumi. He knew something was being hidden. But he did not dare to ask as long as Bu Narmi was still there.
"You stay here, let me call Nehan."
Ms. Narmi walked away, knowing herself because in the hospital environment should not be noisy.
"What are you hiding from your mother?" juna asked gently after mom moved away.
"Nothing, mas."
"Rome..."
Arjuna could not bear to see the sorrowful look in Rumi's eyes. If only Rumi could be made a mini version. Surely the woman will be put in a pocket and taken everywhere to protect.
"The hospital where Sekar was treated called, saying that Sekar attempted suicide."
"Damn Nehan, for that woman's sake she left her son."
"It's not so, my mom. I pushed him to leave. Pity Sekar there is no guardian accompanying."
"Stay Rum, he can resist, right..."
Rona anger did not try to hide if Juna, "the mother had contacted me, fortunately I had not returned home. My heart doesn't feel good leaving you and Ken. Mother said, Mr. Dul is also busy buying the needs of children's homes."
"Thank you, I'm sorry to keep bothering you."
Rumi's cold hand was held by Juna. Trying to drain the power from there, "Ken will be fine. I spoke to the doctor. Still looking for the reason of the shock. There's a baby that's gonna spasm if his body temperature goes up."
"I know, mas."
"All these actions are necessary to prevent damage to his brain nerves Rum. Hopefully soon we'll find out why, so Ken's gonna be fine."
The grip of both hands came off when Miss Narmi came back.
"Nehan I've called. He won't tell me where he is, but he says he'll be here soon if all his business is done."
"Basic brash man. He can ignore you as an ex-wife. But she mustn't forget Ken who's her son!"
"Lady..."
"Silence, Rum. You've been too soft on Nehan!" mother's voice is rising.
"Let's see if Nehan comes..."
"Lady..." Ms. Narmi no longer spoke but looked at Rumi sharply which made Rumi close her mouth.
It was late afternoon when Mr. Dul came to pick up. Despite having to be forced, Narmi and Mbok Nah are finally willing to go home, with many terms and promises from Rumi. Must immediately contact if there is anything, should not be late to give news and so on.
After staying together, Juna several times to see the doctor and negotiate to be allowed to wait in the room together. Fortunately, doctors understand the feelings of parents whose children are sick and give consent.
Juna's heart was broken to see Ken who was weak. His hands waved weakly when he saw him standing behind the glass.
"Strong children should be healthy soon, yes" said Juna with a smile. Although Ken didn't hear it might not even understand, but Juna was sure it would give Ken strength.
I think time is slow. The circular watch in the hand becomes the only marker if the day has changed late at night.
"I'll go out for a while to eat. You haven't eaten anything, have you?"
Yes, Rumi's stomach began to feel sore because it had not entered anything.
Juna did not ask what message, because any food will not necessarily be eaten. Which mother can swallow food if she sees her only son struggling with pain.
Rumi stepped out when Juna came out, "you just wait here."
"I want to come out" something pushed him to come along, no matter what the name was, "until the front of the room."
Juna's hand stretched out, Rumi looked at him and welcomed the hand. He needs strength, it's not easy to face all this alone.
Right in front of the door, a figure of a man was pacing back and forth showing concern. He stopped when he saw Juna and Rumi join hands out of the room. His eyes were straight looking at the two interlocked hands.
Instead of letting go, Juna clasped Rumi's hand tighter. Rumi's tears slowly flowed. A sobbing sobbing made Juna look at the woman standing by her side, but those eyes looked at her ex-husband without blinking.
The woman she loved let go of her grasp and walked up to her ex-husband. When the two bodies met, the dam that Rumi had been holding had been destroyed. Rumi cried out in Nehan's arms, while Juna could only see everything in silence.
"huaaa. huhuhu, why did you come so long ago. I was afraid. huhuhu..what if something happened to Ken," Rumi hit Nehan's back many times in her tears.
Behind the embrace, Nehan looked at Juna with a look that was somehow meaningless, and Juna chose to leave.
