The Creak of my Friend's Bed
Alvin Undergoes Operations

Raka was confused, he had to contact whom to come to the hospital. Wanting to ask Vina for help was impossible. Because he had done no good to Vina and her parents.

"Actually my only hope is to contact Vina, but it seems like it's impossible dech. After what I did with him. But I need him or mom and dad to take care of me."

Keep Alvin's mind restless, he was really confused what to do to solve the problem.

******

The next day, the doctor again asked about relatives or relatives who can be contacted.

"Sorry, Mr. Alvin. Are there any brothers you can call? because there are important things that I want to say about your health condition," said the doctor.

"Just talk to me directly, Doc. Because it just so happens that my son is not in contact at all, said Alvin.

In the end, the doctor told Alvin. If Alvin had to be operated on because there was a problem with his tailbone due to a hard impact.

"Mr Alvin, it's the procedure from the doctor. If you want to undergo surgery, there must be approval from the family. Someone has to be responsible for giving evidence of signatures."

Alvin was confused when he heard the explanation from the doctor, he tried to ask that he only signed the agreement, but the doctor still did not want to.

"Try calling again one of your family members. Because you can't wait any longer. Must undergo surgery immediately, if you want to be severe."

Alvin was silent for a moment, now he began to feel the need for family," if I didn't disagree with Raka, surely I wouldn't have suffered this much. If I don't kick out my father, mother, and Vina. It must not be miserable like this either. Then how should I?"

"How would you like, Mr Alvin?" doctor's warning.

Alvin asked one of the nurses to contact Raka again. This time the phone call was successful.

📱" Good afternoon, ready la yes?"

📱" I'm one of the nurses at Persada Hospital. I'd like to let you know if your father is currently being treated at this hospital."

For a moment the nurse told me about Alvin's current condition that must be immediately in surgery. Until in the end, Raka was willing to come to the hospital immediately. However, he could not bear to hear the condition of Alvin who was helpless. At that time he also booked a plane ticket to immediately fly to Indonesia.

The trip was quite long, until midnight, Raka just arrived at the hospital and he immediately saw the doctor.

The next morning, immediately in the process of handling the operation for Alvin. After Raka is willing to give her signature.

Raka was surprised, how could Alvin suffered severe injuries and also no domestic assistant atsu gardener who accompanied in the hospital.

"How amazing, where exactly? how come there's no security, driver, gardener, and aunt?" muttered Raka.

Curiosity is getting higher, he also tried to call Mamang the gardener.

📱" Hello Mang, it's me Raka. What really happened to you, Papah? how come none of you are accompanying me in the hospital?"

📱" Den Raka, once again we apologize for suddenly stopping work at home, Mr. Alvin. Because we can't stand the attitude, Mr. Alvin. What else if he said he hurt us so much."

📱" Yes Mang, it's okay. It is precisely I who should apologize to Mamang and Bibi. Though I have repeatedly advised Papah to always be kind to everyone. But papah's nature is stubborn."

After knowing what happened to Alvin, now Raka has understood and is not curious anymore.

"I would like to advise Papah, but he cannot accept my input, what else from others. Then what should I do? though I don't want to have a papah that goes further and further in doing evil."

"If Papah would correct himself, I would not be disappointed in him. And I'm sure this won't happen to him either."

"Oh yes, at that time I heard the news that Aunt Vina and Oma and Opa lived with Papah. Where are they going, huh? I should have asked, Mamang."

"Tomorrow dech, I asked Papah if he was done in surgery and his condition improved."

After waiting so long, until finally out also Alvin from the operating room, but for now his condition has not been conscious because it is affected by drugs.

"Dok, how's my papah condition?" asked Raka curiously.

"Alhamdulilah, the operation went well. But we also can not be sure whether the patient can walk again or not. We did the surgery at least so that the patient could switch positions not just lie down."

"From the results of our examination, it is predicted that the patient will experience paralysis due to spinal abnormalities."

Raka is very sorry to hear the explanation from the doctor," is it really not treatable at all, doc? so that my papah can walk again?"

The doctor smiled wryly," I'm sorry, we've tried our best. But it can not be treated, what else had experienced a collision too hard."

Disappointment is really engulfing in Raka. He did not expect that Alvin would experience such a thing.

"O Allah, is this a rebuke from You? what did Papah do to his two ex-wives and one son?"

*******

The next morning, Alvin regained consciousness. He slowly opened his eyes, and smiled when he saw Raka at his side, "Raka, papah is very happy. In the end, you're willing to come here to look after Papah."

Raka simply responded with her smile, without saying anything. Because he still can not accept the actions of Alvin in the past.

"Raka, why are you quiet? aren't you sincere, if you're here to accompany Papah?" reprimand Alvin.

"Well, don't talk much first. The most important thing is Papah to focus on Papah's health first," said Raka because he was lazy to chat with Alvin.

Because he was sure, it would only make Raka emotional. Until he asked Alvin not to say first.
