MySam
Awake, Sam....


Slowly Maya opened both netra and squinted her eyes when the light of the lamp slightly made her glare.


He groaned slowly, trying to endure the pain in his head.


"You're sober, May?" ask Daniel to worry.


"Darling, don't move much first." Siska also forbade Maya who was about to wake up from the fall.


"Daniel."


"But your body is still weak, Maya."


Maya looked with sharp eyes at Daniel.


"Please, And...."


Daniel could only exhale heavily at Maya's stubbornness.


"Alright.." Daniel said at last.


While Siska can only look resigned to the decision of her son.


"I asked the doctor's permission first" Daniel said.


Daniel walks out of Maya's hospital room.


...


Daniel pushes the wheelchair with Maya sitting on it. Anita and Samudra followed in Daniel's footsteps.


When Daniel and Maya leave Harapan hospital for a while, Anita suddenly appears to Maya's room along with Samudra and says she wants to accompany Maya to meet Samuel.


Although Anita and Permana were at Centra Medika hospital every night to monitor Sam's condition, the woman seemed to want to continue to monitor more intensely the development of her son.


Anita now helps Maya to enter Daniel's big sports car. Maya slowly enters the front passenger door, while Anita and Samudra sit at the back.


Mercedes SUV-type vehicles are now driving away from the Harapan hospital area.


With her eyes still looking teary, Maya could only be mute.


His chest shook violently, imagining that he would soon meet Sam whom he had not heard from for several days.


The black net was now just staring blankly at the scene outside the car glass window.


All he had in mind right now was Samuel....


▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎


Daniel again pushes Maya's wheelchair in the hospital hallways.


Samudra and Anita followed Daniel's steps. The ocean clasped Anita's hand.


"Emang Daddy is sick what the hell is Om?" tanya Samudra plain.


Daniel paused for a moment and looked towards the Ocean that was behind him.


"Am, doain Daddy yeah let's get up."


The ocean spontaneously nodded and released its grip on Anita's hand.


The boy now approached Maya, grabbed the woman's hand and then changed to hold tightly the back of Maya's hand.


Then they walked back, this time Ocean walking side by side with Maya's wheelchair driven by Daniel. While Anita was still following the steps behind them.


Until they arrived in the ICU. Netra Maya is now increasingly bristling, this reminds him of a few years ago when Sam who was also in the ICU room due to his fight with Elano.


"Are you ready, Maya?" ask Daniel.


Maya could only nod slowly.


"Am coming, Om?"


Daniel nodded and began pushing his wheelchair into the ICU.


Netra Maya condensed, looking at the figure of Samuel lying motionless. The man's eyes closed as well. The noise from the hospital equipment made his heart beat violently.


Slowly, Daniel took Maya's wheelchair closer to Samuel.


The ocean also tightened its grip on Maya's hands.


Maya can only look silently at her husband who looks helpless with all the tools attached to his body.


"I'm staying you two." Said Daniel.


There was no response from Maya, the woman could only look at the situation of Samuel.


"Am going to come with Om or want to be here?"


"Am gonna be here with Mommy, can't you be Om?"


Daniel nodded slowly and walked away from them.


Samudra should not have been allowed to enter the ICU room, but because Daniel persuaded the hospital staff finally they allowed Samudra origin to keep wearing special clothes and also sterile masks.


...


Maya still looked toward Samuel. Tears are now spilling without being able to stand anymore.


"Sam.." Maya's great-grandson was weak.


"Wake up baby..... I'm sorry...."


Maya now grabs Samuel's hand that remains motionless, with an infusion of blood and dietary supplement fluid.


"Our son was born, Sam." said Maya withholding her tears.


"Don't you want to see them?" tweet again.


Maya cries, she can no longer hold back her emotions and tears.


For a few seconds there was silence. Maya was silent for a moment while continuing to cry. The ocean could only look at his father's body, which was lying like a sleeping person.


I don't know what was on the boy's mind.


"Our son looks just like you, Sam." said Maya.


His hand now stroked Samuel's face which looked a little more tyrannical. Just a few days later he lay in a coma, apparently making a significant physical difference to Samuel's appearance.


"Especially Samantha.


Her hand continued to move gently rubbing Sam's face and sometimes switched to her husband's arm which had been attached to an infusion hose.


"Our children, the Continent and Samantha, like what you dreamed of." Maya continued, even a small sob still sounded from her lips.


"You used to want to never name the Continent if we were boys, hm?"


"The Ocean and the Continent."


For a moment Maya looked towards the Ocean with a glazed net.


"While Samantha....."


Maya also rearranged her mood, she took a deep breath to try to hold back the tears that seemed reluctant to stop flowing.


"I had the idea of that name when I saw that he looked a lot like you, baby...."


Maya tried to smile. But the result was a bitter smile when he realized that Samuel did not respond.


"Our little princess really looks the same you - her eyes - lips - hair - even she has your smile Sam...."


Maya is crying again. His hand was now so tightly gripping one of Samuel's arms that was nearby.


"Wake, Sam...!! Wake up for me and our kids, please....."


Maya's crying is becoming more and more. His sedu-sedan even sounded outside the room glazed.


The ocean grabbed the father's arm and laid his head on an arm full of intravenous needles.


"Daddy.... wake up.... Cassian Mommy.... hiks.....hiks..... wake up Daddy....!!" the ocean cries broke.


Making Daniel who had been outside the room, now walked into the ICU room and carried out the Ocean.


"Daddy why Om? Am wants to be with Daddy.." cried the Ocean.


"Am.... Am calm first yes. Prayers in Daddy cepet wake up, mopping up."


The ocean nodded many times in Daniel's sling.


Theresia who was guarding the lobby of the ICU room at that time could feel what the Daniel family was feeling right now.


Seeing Daniel carrying the Ocean and trying to calm the child, Theresia's small smile grew.


....


Thirty minutes had Maya by Samuel's side, hoping that the man would come to his senses, just like old times.


But reality speaks another way, Sam even remains silent. Both of his neutrals remained closed.


"Look time's up, May."


Daniel said carefully.


"I still want to be here."


"But you're still weak, May."


"I'm fine, Dan....!!" Maya snaps at Daniel a little.


"I still want to be here, please.." this time Maya's tone of voice is a little low.


"You also think of your children. If you're here how can they suckle?"


Maya fell silent. He looked at Samuel for a moment, his hand still gently stroking Sam's arm.


"Yes...." Daniel tried to persuade his brother-in-law.


"It's fine here" Daniel continued.


"Sam is not okay, Dan....!!" sergeant Maya fast.


"You're all right Sam, why didn't he wake up, huh....??!!"


Maya's crying broke again. Inside his chest was like there were thousands of sharp blades slicing through his heart.


"Okay, tomorrow we'll look at Sam again. I promise....!" Daniel sighed seeing Maya's stubbornness.


"But now we go back to Harapan hospital. Please, think of your children."


Daniel again tries to make Maya stubborn.


A few seconds just silence, until suddenly Maya nodded slowly.


"Good...."


He looked at Daniel very weakly.


"Tomorrow I'll bring you here again, I promise...." Daniel whispered softly as he pushed Maya's wheelchair away from Samuel.


Maya turned back to Samuel for a moment. I hope there is a miracle back.


Yet.... Samuel was still there. There was only the sound of the hospital's advanced equipment continuing to beat fast amid the silence.


"Wake Sam up, please.." Maya's inner self before she disappears from behind a bend in the hospital wall.


to be continue....
