Nyai Raras
Episode 80 The Love of a Phil

"Ben where's Phil?"

"Phil is still in Sinsei Chun's heart, his condition was a lot of injuries before Claa"

"My kit bag is where Ben?"

Ben immediately took Clara's bag, and gave it to his wife

"Ben help me sit down, and hold this mirror well" said Clara

Ben immediately helps Clara sit and supports her behind Clara while holding the mirror, Clara immediately checks her wound to decide what action to take, after Clara sees the wound, it turns out that the wound is not too deep, but only injuring the wound that had not healed perfectly, so Clara will do a minor surgery to stitch the tear wound.

Clara immediately injects anti-tetanus drugs, then injects anesthesia and antibiotic drugs, then performs superficial wound closure performed with a single-layer technique (Simple Skin Stitching, or Simple Interrupted Suture), sewing technique is the fastest technique and can be done alone

Ben who saw his wife made himself feel pain.

"Honey it doesn't hurt that much?" asked Ben grimacing.

"I've drugged Ben, I've helped Phil"

"Claa...but your body is not healthy later what will be your wound?"

"Ben I'm fine, I have to save Phil" Clara said stubbornly.

Seeing his wife insistent, Ben finally relented, and helped Clara stand up and walk towards where Phil was being treated

"Why did he come here?" ask Sinsei Chun

"How's Phil doing?" clara immediately sat down next to Phil's bed

"His light-hearted wound was already owe medicine Nyai, but there was a shard of glass that went too deep about his internal organs" replied Sinsei Chun.

Clara immediately checked Phil's blood pressure, heart rate and oxygen saturation.

"Phil has Heart Tamponade (Heart tamponade is an emergency condition, where there is fluid or blood in the space between the heart muscle and the lining of the heart (pericardium). Under normal circumstances, this fluid or blood is not present in the room. The presence of this fluid or blood causes the heart to have difficulty pumping blood throughout the body, resulting in all limbs lack of blood supply.) because there is a broken glass that hits the heart of Phil" said Clara

Clara immediately searched for the tools and drugs that exist, making Clara a little panic because of the condition Phil Clara had to perform 4 procedures of life-saving actions Phil

1.Pericardiocentesis (pericardial puncture), a procedure performed to remove fluid or blood from the pericardium chamber using a needle.

2.Pericardiectomy, which is a surgical procedure by cutting and removing part of the pericardium that lines the heart.

Pericardiodesis, which is the administration of drugs directly into the pericardial space to attach the pericardium to the heart muscle, to the buildup of fluid in the pericardial space (pericardial effusion) that occurs repeatedly.

4.Thoracotomy, which is a surgical procedure performed by a doctor to remove blood clots due to injury by opening the chest wall.

But at this time the limitations of existing equipment and drugs Clara can only do actions 1 and 3, whereas the most important and must be done immediately.

Clara tries to suppress her emotions and tries to do act 1 first, and asks Sinsei to punch a spot to stop the bleeding.

After Clara managed to get blood and fluids out, and after the drugs were given into action, Phil began to be able to breathe more smoothly and opened his eyes slowly.

"Rras.." murmured Phil.

"Phil, thank God you can be aware..Is it still painful?" clara asked as she clasped Phil's hand tightly with teary eyes.

"Don't cry Race, I'm used to getting hurt later to be healed let alone you who treat me" Phil said with a smile.

"I'm not a good Phil, I can't even heal you" Clara's sobbing made Phil smile wider.

"Stop crying Cla, you are the greatest dr I know..uhuuuuk!!"

Phil coughed as he spurted blood from his mouth.

"Stop talking to Phil, I beg you" Clara said as she hugged Phil's head

"I'm sorry Clara Phil, I don't have the tools to perform the surgery, I'm sorry Clara" Clara said in tears

Phil, despite feeling pain in his chest and knowing that he would not be around much longer, still put on his smile.

"Ras..if there is life again later, I promise I will always take care of you, make you happy and love you, especially if the bullshit is not there then I make sure you become my wife" phil said as he held onto his chest that was growing more painful.

"Ben brought my medicine bag here" Clara said, then took morphine to relieve Phil's pain, but because her hand was suddenly painful, Clara held the needle in a trembling motion.

"Let me just Claa." said Ben then took the injection and then injected it into Phil.

"Bbb-ben thank you.please take care and love our Raras I beg you" muttered Phil who began to weaken.

"Yes.calm yourself, rest in peace Phil.." said Ben to calm Phil, Ben who is used to seeing people who are approaching the time to go, because always plunged in the battlefield.

"Ras. terr-ima-kkassih, aaku bahagii-ia" said Phil lirih then closed his eyes.

"Phiiiiil..philll forgive Claraaa, forgive me" said Clara, hugging Phil's body while crying sobbing.

"Ben I failed to become a doctor, I couldn't even save the man who loved me so much and always protected me" said Clara, who was then hugged by Ben.

"Don't Phil just say he's happy, right? you've tried your best Claa, don't cry anymore huh"

"You are the great Dr. Clara, there are many lives you have saved and healed" comforted Ben.

"Let Phil go quietly, and not sad to see you cry for him, he's happy and doesn't feel any pain anymore" Ben gently persuaded.

"Now help Sinsei clean up Phil's wounds, and I'll put on the best clothes for him"

Clara nodded her head and immediately closed and sewed all of Phil's wounds, then Sinsei Chun and Mother Chun bathed him and put on a nice shirt.

After it appears Mamat, Akri brings a coffin for Phil, with Clift they then lay Phil's body in it. Clift wept during Phil's blessing and burial near the Portuguese church, a tomb for foreigners of that era. Clara cried in Ben's arms.

After the funeral Clift walked over to Clara and Ben.

"Thank you for being present in Phil's life despite being short but very meaningful to him, he turned into a happy figure and willing to hang out with many people and not hate women" clift said as she clasped Clara's hand tightly with teary eyes.

"I'm sorry Clara Clift, can't help Phil.I'm sorry" Clara said.

"It's not your fault, it's time for Phil to go, don't blame yourself Nyai, I'm sure you've been trying so hard to help him" said Clift.

Suddenly from a distance Donald arrives with his father to inform him that Bill escaped yesterday's bombing, and is still a fugitive.

"Ben take your wife tomorrow by train to the port of Sunda Kelapa, take your wife to our country there is a ship that will leave for Holland, the current condition is very unsafe especially Bill has targeted Raksa to kill him" said Donald who is worried about the state of Clara who is still pale due to her injuries.

"Both Major and Commander tomorrow we will leave tomorrow morning, thank you in advance" said Ben.
