The Child I Called My Brother

The Child I Called My Brother
Spread it out Mom.


That morning Daffa woke up as usual, he then walked into the kitchen to look for Ningsih's whereabouts.


" Mah" call Daffa.


Ningsih looked back to see the whereabouts of her grandson. " Born morning, you're awake." Daffa nodded in response, the boy then sat down on one of the chairs in the pantry.


" What's your mom cooking?" Ask Daffa again.


" Your favorite menu, baby." Ningsih. Without looking at his grandson. " Sena's sister is still crying huh mah? Sorry, mah! Daffa is evil as Sena." This made Ningsih curl her lips.


The woman knew her grandson was a good child and she was sure that Daffa would gradually accept the same situation as Sena had.


Ningsih turned off the stove, the middle-aged woman then approached Daffa and sat down before her grandson.


" Mama is not angry! Mama and Sena's sister loved Daffa. What Sena's mom and sister did, it's all for your good. Maybe now you don't understand because you were a child but one day you will definitely understand, now Daffa knows enough that Mama and Sena always love Daffa." Ningsih.


While Daffa was silent while nodding, because no matter how angry he was in fact there, in fact the affection he had for the mother he had known as his brother, much bigger than above everything else.


" Now Daffa took a bath, get ready for breakfast together." Once again the boy just nodded, then got up from his seat, went back to the room to do what Ningsih had told him to do.

On the other hand Sena walked into her room, there the nurse who used to help her had not come, because it was still too early.


Sena sat down in her chair, put her stethoscope on the table, and then she put her head on the table with both arms on her pillow, she was so tired! But he had a practice schedule this morning, so he delayed his time home by taking a break in his study.


Not half an hour he was closed, his phone rang again to make the woman re-open both eyes, he searched for his phone, which was in his bag.


Without seeing who called the woman, he answered. "Good morning, Doctor Senara?"


" Am I alone?" Answer Sena.


" Dok, the patient in the name of jasmine in the NICU_ space"


"Please give her the best treatment." Order Sena again.


After talking to the nurse who called her, Sena immediately grabbed her stethoscope and snelli.


The woman immediately used the snelli, ignoring the sudden dizziness she felt, due to lack of sleep.


Sena kept the phone she was holding in snelli's pocket, which she was wearing after setting the silent mode on that phone.


Sena walked out of her room in a hurry, the woman even ran small towards the NICU room.


Upon arrival in front of the room, the mother of the toddler was already crying in front of the NICU room.


Sena did not have time to greet them, the woman immediately entered a sterile room to sterilize her body. Before he entered the room NICU give action to babies who are in need of them.


Inside the room Sena was unconscious, there were NICU specialists, pediatricians and Sena.


They try their best according to the procedure they have to do but the doctor is still human, as hard as they try if in the end the death has picked up all efforts will end in vain.


" At 07:57." The pediatrician mentioned the time he left the child.


Hearing that made Sena limp the woman immediately sat down, she felt her body limp, she even shed her tears because she felt like a failure.


"We did our best, Doc." Said the NICU specialist to convince Sena, but it only made her more sad.


" Listen Doctor, wake up." They then helped him to stand up while the pediatrician went out to see the child's parents and relay the news.


Sena would not stand up! the woman then followed the steps of the pediatrician as well as to express her condolences.


" Thank you doc! at least because of you we have given the best treatment for him, only God entrusts us only to this day." The father of the boy seemed to be so receptive to his ordeal, even though his gaze so clearly showed his sense of loss.


"Mom and Dad don't have to thank me! I'm just doing my job as a doctor." Sena Sahut. " Patiently, ma'am." Sena hugged the mother of the child to strengthen her.
