The (Former) Mafia
49. Relented
Nabila exhaled a long breath for the umpteenth time. He did everything he could to stifle his emotions. In fact, working until it felt almost fainting he did to eliminate all the anxiety that hit his heart. Nabila is confused, even though he has tried to forget what he heard, he still expects Bara to contact him and say if everything is just a misunderstanding. However, until the clock on his desk showed at 20:15, Bara still had not contacted him.
"Assynhdreams! .... Yes, I will go home now, Ma'am. Forgive me!" nabila. He hung up his phone call then walked out of the room which was actually already very quiet. There are some employees who still live, but on what floor Nabila is not too sure. Guards in the company was very much, Nabila did not have to worry about anything.
"Oh my God, son! I'm sorry, baby!" nabila gumam. His hand shook as he pressed down on the car starter that was now already darting through the city crowd. Luckily, he is because the road is not too crowded at the moment. If until Nabila is stuck, I don't know what will happen.
Nabila reached her apartment and went straight to the child's room, her beautiful face showing a tremendous panic. "Mom!" call Nabila. "Ezra why?" asked Nabila while sitting on the edge of the bed and then touched the child's forehead slowly.
"Astaghfirullah ...!"
"Abis eat, Ezra is still fine, Mom! I don't know why he suddenly had a fever. I'm very worried. I called Mom right away!"
Nabila shook her head. He took a thermometer to measure the child's body temperature. "39° more you know, Ma'am," murmured Nabila. "We'll take him to the ER, ma'am. How I worry. Ezra is usually not like this. Please bring me a thin blanket, ma'am. Same check-up letter in the drawer .. akh, gini aja. Ma'am please take Ezra, I take his papers first, I promise, before Mbak gets below, I'll catch up with you guys. Please, Ma'am!"
Marlina nodded. Nurse Ezra who was working without staying overnight now indeed have to keep Ezra full time, yes during Nabila and her husband work, initially Marlina did not want to be like that. However, because she was in desperate need of money, Marlina was ultimately willing to take on the job that Nabila offered.
"Here we go!" said Nabila after rummaging through the contents of the drawer in his child's closet. Nabila immediately picked up a blanket and ran out of his apartment.
"Akhhhh!" pekik Nabila who almost fell. His leg was sprained which made his leg very sick. Nabila shed tears, but hastily he ca. Without caring for his legs are very painful, Nabila back to running even though he had to limp. "Soof Ma'am!" said Nabila whip the door for Marlina and her son.
"Mbak ... What kind of symptoms? Why didn't you call me from earlier?"
Marlina suddenly sobbed. He was very afraid that Ezra was okay because he was the one who did not care for the little boy in his arms.
"Yes, you don't have to cry, this is the destiny of God. I just need a description of the doctor so that later it will be easy for me to explain to the doctor!"
Marlina nodded, her tears still flowing even though she no longer sobbed. "This afternoon, Ezra is not what he used to be, Buk. He seems to lack that spirit, but still strong to play, just not as good as usual. I would like to eat, after isya, Ezra said he wanted bobo. I'm kelonin too, I'm a fairy tale bacain, Ezra is still smiling. The body is not hot yet. An hour after that, when I checked again, Ezra was already hot like this, Ezra shivered."
"Astagfirullah, Ma'am .. excuse me, I! I have to go home, my mother has food poisoning. Oh my God, how's dong Bu?" Marlina looks increasingly panicked, she is confused what to do. On the other hand Nabila and Ezra are in need of it. However, on the other hand the mother was also much more important to Marlina.
"Astaghfirullah .. Yes you have, give me the bag and the letters! You take a cab, call Durant! Ask him to come to your house so he can help. I'm sorry, Ma'am."
Marlina shook her head. Obviously he should be apologizing, why be his employer apologizing to him. "Thank you, Mom!"
Nabila just nodded, he ran back, entered the ER to check on the condition of his son. However, when he was about to enter Ezra into the ER, all his goods fell. For the umpteenth time Nabila beristighfar. He didn't care about the bag and the others. It's still near the ER door.
"Dok, help my son!" please Nabila to the guard doctor in the ER. Nabila explained the chronology that was said by Marlina. Only then did he come out to pick up the papers, the child's medical history. Everything is the same, scattered. Even Nabila could see some people stepping on his phone. While dragging her left leg, Nabila lowered her head, picked up the item she had dropped and then returned to the ER to submit what the doctor had asked for.
"That's it, Mom. If you're too worried, we'd better do a thorough checkup!" advice of doctors in the ER. "But, since the new specialist will be in tomorrow morning, we'll evaluate the fever first!" Nabila just nodded, she looked at the helplessly lying little boy with teary eyes. "I'm sorry, dear. Sorry, mama!" Nabila rubbed the clear feathers that burst past her eyelids. He really feels very guilty. Because of the anxiety he felt, he ignored Ezra. Busying himself with a pile of work turned out to even make him a mother figure who is not good at taking care of his own child.
....
The woman sat down next to the child's bed. His heart was broken when he found out, if he could do nothing. Until when he had to wait like this. Ezra had been given medicine, but he was still asleep. The boy may have only received the effects of the drug that the doctor gave him, but Nabila was really very nervous. Her chest is as tight as it can be. The hand continued to hold the tiny hand of Ezra while kissing him many times.
A while later, Nabila turned his head as the nursing room door opened. His lips smiled, a sinister smile with my eyes staring intently at the man in front of him.
"What are you doing here, SIR, BARA!" ketus Nabila as if to emphasize if Bara should not be there.
"Darling!"
"Stop! I'm beats, sir!"
