The Crack of a Heart
Silly Demand

"After I check, chances are your parents are exhausted. But we've taken his blood for lab checks. The results will come out at seven in the morning" replied the doctor.

"Oh yes, Doc. thanks yes," said Arifa and the Doctor nodded and left Arifa to return to the room with the two nurses trailing behind her.

Arifa approached her still weakly lying papa with several medical devices attached to several parts of the body. He looked at the face that had begun to age, he was stunned.

Feeling not wanting to be away from the figure who had always protected her, Arifa began to think again to continue studying abroad. To be able to stay with her papa here.

Arifa also sat in a chair without a backrest next to the bed, then she sat while holding her papa hand attached to the infusion. Unknowingly, Arifa fell asleep with her left hand which she used as a cushion for her head.

A few hours passed, now the dark sky had changed bright because the sun began to show its light. Zachariah awoke and chose his consciousness, he looked around and his gaze stopped on a girl who had grown up sleeping with a sitting position next to him.

Slowly, Zachariah moved the hand that Arifa had been holding. At that very moment, Arifa began to wake up and look at her face that could already open her eyes.

The condition of the IGD room this morning is quite crowded, especially with women who will give birth. Before long, Farhan arrived in the room, looking for the whereabouts of his father and sister.

"Sister!" call Arifa when you accidentally see Farhan there.

Farhan who instantly caught the voice, saw Arifa at the end of his gaze. He also approached them immediately. His feelings were relieved that Zachariah had come to his senses.

"Where is Papah?" farhan asked who sounded anxious to the middle-aged man who was still lying on the bed.

"Remain calm, Papah is just tired, Han," replied Zakaria with a faint smile between the pale-looking face.

Suddenly a nurse came with a map in her hand, followed by a different doctor from before.

"Excuse me, can you come out for a second? his father wants to be checked first. You can wait outside" the doctor said kindly.

"Alright doc," replied Farhan who then grabbed Arifa's shoulder to get out of there.

The two waited behind the curtain that the nurse had closed. So that the talks of doctors and nurses with papah they can still hear.

Initially, the doctor examined the condition of Zakaria's body, ranging from heartbeat, oral, ears, eyes, and parts of his legs and arms. There are no strange symptoms when viewed from the physical Zakaria. Then, the nurse checked the blood pressure of the device on the table next to the bed.

"A hundredths of a sixty, Doc," said the nurse after she finished checking Zakaria's blood pressure.

"Well, the tension is very low, sir. It's worth it last night to pass out .." said the doctor. "Try sus I want to see the results of the laboratory," he continued and the nurse immediately gave it to him.

The doctor read very carefully. So that the presumption that he will convey can be right for the recovery of patients.

A few minutes later, the doctor began to explain. "When viewed from the results, the average is all good. It's just that, your leukocytes are also being decreased from the average standard. Actually, this can be increased through medication. However, if done outpatient, you must control again after three days of taking the drug. Even if you want hospitalization, please go ahead. So, you want hospitalization or outpatient?"

After hearing the doctor's explanation, Farhan suddenly opened his curtain and joined inside. Arifa looked for an empty seat in the waiting room.

"Well, hospitalization yes. In order to get well soon" Farhan asked Zakaria. Because he knows for sure since his father difficult discipline if taking medicine when sick. Moreover, his mind was not conducive at the moment.

"Yes already." Zakaria finally relented and complied with Farhan's request for hospitalization.

"Well, then immediately take care of the administration yes, so that you can immediately get a nursery," proposed the nurse.

"Yes, sus. Thanks, Doc." Farhan then left there to take care of administration.

Arifa frowned when she saw Farhan walking hastily. Before long the curtain opened, the doctor and nurse left. Arifa moved out of her chair and chose to approach her papa.

"Acne, Fa," Zakaria replied in a voice that still sounded weak.

"Oh that, yes Papah has calmed down .. There will be a Rifa who will take care of Papah here," said Arifa with a smile that made Zakaria touched.

"Fa, you were home yesterday, weren't you?"

DEG. Arifa fell silent after hearing her papa question. He was afraid of being scolded by Zakaria if he was honest.

How do you say it to Papah? I am angry ....

"Why silence, Fa? hayo .. Don't-don't you go out the house didn't tell me Papah did ya?" zakaria asked immediately made Arifa smile broadly while showing her teeth. "Where is it?" ask again.

"To Rifa's classmate's party, Pah. His show at a fancy restaurant at the end of the city .. "noticing no anger from his papa face, Arifa continued her story again. "Rifa was locked in the toilet, but fortunately Rifa was able to climb. Until left by Andini, and fortunately again Bianka kindly give a ride home."

The taste in Zechariah's heart became mixed after hearing Arifa's story. There was concern for her daughter.

"Other times if you go anywhere say yes Papah. Fortunately last night your friend was good, try if no one wants nolongi ... But why can't you tell Papah? Where are you going, Fa?"

Arifa scratched her non-itchy head and replied, "Lowbatt, Pah."

"Aren't they on the charger?"

"Couple, Pah. So Rifa's breakfast was cleaned up at home, kept fit was already finished drowsy. Eh sleep till the afternoon."

Zakaria sighed, "Sorry Papah yes, Fa. If Papah already has investors again, the work of the house so ART is a work," he said with a sad hue.

"It's okay, Pah. Yes ... count Rifa learn, thankfully Rifa's husband later people are wealthy and able to pay for ART, even if only ordinary people ... Rifa was not surprised."

"Oh yes, next week Papah has plans to meet Papah's best friend since High School. You're coming, huh?" exclaim Zakaria with a hopeful face.

"What about Farhan, Pah?"

"Yes, he's coming too."

"Let's think about it first."

"Why is that?"

"Fear of being fooled by Papah with his friend's child."

Hearing Arifa's words, the two laughed.

"Fa, if you Papah love request. What do you want Papah?" zakaria asked after stopping her laughter.

Arifa thought for a moment while frowning, then said, "Rifa wants a new mamah."

"God ... "
