Reaching the Moon
Chapter 46

The footsteps of women in high heels were heard entering a hospital room slightly separated from the other patients' nursery. The atmosphere around felt very quiet, and indeed not all medical personnel had access to it. Only a few medical teams are entrusted with intensive care of the patients in the room.

"How's he doing, Ben?" aura asked after closing the door and found Ben, the nurse in charge specifically in the room standing not far from the patient's bed.

"He's still not moving, but from this graph, an electrical activity in his brain has just been seen" Ben replied.

Aura walked over to the unconscious patient. His face was handsome as usual, although some scars were still visible there.

"What are you dreaming about, Zam? Is your dream so beautiful that you don't wake up?" aura asked the comatose patient before her. Yes, he is Nizam.

...

Just after the explosion, two ambulances came to the scene after receiving emergency calls. Initially, the two ambulances were about to head to the same hospital, but due to Nizam's critical condition, the medical team in the ambulance decided to take him to a hospital with more complete equipment.

Incidentally, the doctor who was in the hospital was Aura's friend. She recognizes Nizam's face as her future husband and therefore calls Aura to report his condition.

"Razieq, help me, just this once, for safety reasons. Let me take Nizam to the hospital in my town for treatment. The equipment is also complete there. I can also guarantee his safety if I am there. You know, he was the victim of the b0m ter0ris explosion. I'm afraid the ter0ris are still eyeing him in this city," Aura's request was over the phone because he was still at the special team headquarters.

Razieq, as a friend and director of the hospital was silent for a moment considering the request of his friend. Until then he agreed.

Aura came out of the headquarters with escorted by a special team to the hospital where Nizam was at that time. After getting approval from Razieq, he immediately contacted the director of the hospital where he worked about the state of Nizam who would be transferred there. Then depart by emergency medical helicopter to town A in the morning blind.

That's why there's no CCTV footage that can capture Nizam's tracks, except for the hospital. However, at Aura's request, they removed all traces of her footage.

...

"Doctor Aura, does this patient have no family? It's also a pity that he's been alone all this time, while he needs his family's support" Beni asked.

Aura was silent for a moment hearing the nurse's words. The woman smiled wryly and then turned around and replied, "There is, but for safety reasons, the existence of this patient should be kept secret until fully recovered."

"Oh, so, well, I get it, Doc." The nurse immediately left Nizam's room to make room for Aura. The woman now took a chair and sat right next to Nizam while displaying her smile.

"I'm sorry, om Boy and aunt Khaira, I was forced to keep Nizam's whereabouts from you. Take it easy, I will take care of Nizam sincerely until he is completely healed," Aura said and then let out a rough breath. "Huufh, I hope that after this, her heart will open again for me" she continued.

Aura frowned when she realized Nizam's two eyes were shedding tears. Immediately he checked the EEG monitor, and again found electrical activity in the man's brain.

When Aura looked back at Nizam, she was quite surprised to find that the man had opened his eyes.

"Alhamdulillah, Nizam, you are conscious" said Aura, but the man gave no response other than a glancing eye toward her.

Aura began to perform a series of examinations of Nizam, ranging from pupil movements of the eye, and others. "Zam, can you see me clearly?" ask Aura. "Just blink your eyes if you are, then" she continued, knowing that Nizam had not been able to respond in a voice.

The man blinked his eyes once. Aura then asked back to make sure Nizam's memory was fine.

"Do you know me?"

This time Nizam did not answer with a blink of an eye. He just silently looked at Aura with puzzled eyes.

Despite being able to talk and walk, Nizam still has difficulty remembering his past. This condition is common in post-traumatic patients, as time passes, Nizam will regain his memory functionally.

"Ben, where's Nizam?" aura asked when she had just returned from the hospital. Almost every day he would take the time to visit the man, bring food, even if he had time, he would cook for him.

"He's in the backyard, Doc" Beni replied.

"All right, thank you. Oh yeah, it's for you." Aura gave Beni a food box, then immediately walked into the house until she arrived in the backyard.

The woman was excited because she was currently carrying Nizam's favorite egg martabak. He wanted to eat it together, as he used to do when he visited B, or Nizam who visited A.

"Zam, what?" aura asked as she approached Nizam who was sitting in a long chair and was sitting next to her.

"I was enjoying the cool of the night breeze and the beautiful expanse of stars, unfortunately I did not see the moon," replied Nizam as he looked up at the sky.

"Maybe the moon is ashamed to appear in front of you," said Aura laughing softly. "Oh, yes, here I bring your favorite martabak. In the past, you often buy me this martabak if you are visiting the house," continued Aura while opening a food box containing martabak.

"really? I always felt like I was no stranger.

"Did you not remember me completely?" tanya Aura was curious.

"That's it, but every time I see you, I feel like we used to be very close" Nizam replied.

"Indeed, you'll even marry me, but ...." Aura hung her words, making Nizam frown.

"But why?"

"But you had an accident instead, as a result, I have to go back to being patient waiting for you until you fully recover," replied Aura smilingly looking up at the sky.

"really? Does that mean I loved you?"

"Wow, I'm sad, you know, hearing your question. Don't you love me anymore?" aura asked with teary eyes looking at Nizam to make the man go awry.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you sad. Yes, maybe I still love you, it's just that my situation is what makes me doubt," said Nizam, making Aura feel relieved.

"Makanya, until now I have faithfully waited for you. I want our dreams together to be realized."

"Wedding together?"

"Yes, united in the sacred bond of marriage."
