Tangled Yarn Shackles
One hundred million, one,
Tears continued to fall accompanied Anne's steps towards where she was treated bu Ningrum—His adoptive mother had been all this time. Since the departure of her parents, Anne was cared for by Mr. Hadi who was none other than the husband of Ms. Ningrum. Unfortunately, Mr. Hadi had to go back to the creator when Anne was sitting in High School.
"Mom .. hang on, Mom! Anne has no one but Mom!" anne muttered as she walked down the hospital corridor. He walked to the radiology building to look for Ms. Ningrum who underwent a series of inspection processes there.
Anne stopped her steps when she stopped in front of the radiology building's door. He saw two nurses pushing the patient's gurney, both eyes clearly seeing that the patient lying on top of the gurney was Ms. Ningrum.
"Mother .." murmured Anne while wiping away the remaining tears that had soaked her cheeks, "Suster, this is my mother" Anne said as she stared at one of the sisters on the side of the stool.
"Alhamdulillah .. we have been waiting for this mother's family since," said the sister, expanding her smile, "Let's come back to the IGD to discuss the condition of your mother," continued the nurse before pushing the gurney.
Step by step Anne had gone through with tears. He could not see the condition of Ms. Ningrum because there were so many wounds on his head and on his face. Such a great fear enveloped Anne's heart and mind, she was afraid of losing the person who had raised her all this time. Beautiful memories with Ms. Ningrum continued to dance in memory.
"Please Miss sit there" said one of the sisters, pointing to a room near the IGD. Meanwhile, the two nurses continued their steps into the IGD room.
Cold sweat began to wet Anne's palms after a doctor and hospital nurse sat down on a table in front of her. The doctor explained how Ms. Ningrum's current condition was with a soft word.
"That's the medical explanation I can give you, miss. For the next let Mr. Agus discuss about the costs incurred for this major surgery," said the doctor while turning his eyes to the side
The nurse, Agus, began to discuss the details of the costs to be paid by Anne. His heart was pounding even more after seeing the row of numbers written there. The operating costs alone range from about seventy million, and do not include the cost of a room, ICU, treatment and a series of other medical treatments. The nurse instructed Anne to prepare about a hundred million dollars.
"We apologize profusely, Miss. Insurance from the government does not cover the cost of accident patients, especially for the current condition of Ms. Miss. Maybe even self-insurance can not cover all these costs because this is a big operation," said Agus while staring at Anne.
"Then what should I do, sir?" Anne looks frustrated this time.
"Surely Miss has to pay the hospital fee. At least Miss must pay twenty-five percent for DP before surgery. Furthermore, Miss can pay the rest when Miss's mother is allowed to go home" said the nurse.
The tears were coming down more and more. Anne no longer knew what to do. He was confused where to get that much money. He was pensive without a definite answer until Mr. Agus' voice was heard there again.
"So, how's Miss? Do you agree that the hospital performed the surgery on the patient?" once again Mr. Agus confirmed Anne's decision.
Anne was silent, trying to find a way to get the money. His mind started to wander away—think of where he got the loan to pay DP.
"All right, sir, I'm ready! I'm asking until later tonight to pay for the DP. Please do your best for my mother" Anne said with hopeful eyes. After putting her signature on the stamped paper, Anne immediately walked out of the room.
