The Injured
The Triplets' Pain

Rion flinched as he felt Aleesa's hot forehead. He immediately took out a thermometer to examine Aleesa's body. A little wait for the thermometer to sound.

"Thirty-nine point two degrees" murmured Rion. He was very panicked, wanted to contact Echa even he did not have the heart. Today there was an important meeting with the client.

Rion put down Aleesa's body and intended to take some water to compress Aleesa's forehead. However, he did not expect the other two Echa children to shiver.

"Oh my God." Rion immediately brought his three grandchildren. Two grandchildren he put in the stroller and the other he's carrying.

Rion's panicked face was clearly visible, so Mbak Ina immediately ran over to Rion.

"Sir, what's wrong with the kids?"

"Tell Mr. Mat get ready now to go to the hospital."

Rion's command made Mother Ina's body go limp instantly. He glanced at the three grandchildren of the master. The faces of the three of them were already pale.

Ma'am Ina ran with a mixed heart. There is fear and sadness.

"Don't tell Echa. I don't want to make Echa worry." Ma'am Ina nodded. However, he could not keep this matter a secret to his master's son. Both parents of the triplets should know. That's howupon.

Ma'am Ina tries to contact Echa, but there is no answer from Echa. Many times Ma'am Ina contacted Echa and remained the same. It never answered. Then, he contacted Radit. The first and second calls have no answer. The third call has an answer. However, Mbak Ina's phone suddenly turns off because the battery runs out.

Without thinking long, Ms. Ina banged on the door of Gio's house. He wishes Ayanda was home. His hope was not in vain either.

"What's up, Ma'am?" Seeing the face of Mbak Ina who looks worried makes Ayanda too worried.

"Mother's grandchildren ...."

Ayanda looked at Mbak Ina sharply to make her speech clearer.

"Why my grandchildren?"

"The fever is high and now it's taken to the hospital."

"Oh my God." Ayanda started to panic, she immediately went inside to pick up her bag. Ask a private driver to drive her. He knew that Rion would take his three grandchildren to a nearby hospital.

Ayanda's hand was still busy contacting her husband. However, there was not a single call that her husband answered.

"Geez, Dad," he lamented.

Arriving at the hospital closest to his home, Ayanda immediately headed to the IGD room. Sure enough, Rion was already there.

"Mas," call Ayanda.

Rion looked at him with a sad face.

"Why is it like this?" Rion shook his head.

"Aleesa was terrified as she looked towards the mango tree. He cried loudly and did not want to get out of the sling. As they slept, Mas felt Aleesa's body temperature rise slightly. It turned out to be .. thirty-nine degrees," he explained in a soft tone.

"Oh my God, that's very high, Mom." Rion nodded.

"We have to cut down that tree. There is often a strange sound there," said Ayanda. Rion could not answer.

Since Rion first lived in the house, he was eager to cut down the mango tree. However, the son forbade him on the grounds that it was the house of Iyan's invisible friends. Inevitably, Rion cancelled his plan. Seeing now that his grandson was frightened like this, what Ayanda said was true. Than the three grandchildren continued to be afraid to look towards the mango tree.

Half an hour later, no doctors were released from IGD. They both worry more. The sound of shoes approaching them.

"Why the Echa kids?" Echa's face was puffy because of crying during the trip.

"Patience first, Brother. We pray the best for all of them" Ayanda said.

"But, Mah ...."

Ayanda immediately embraced Echa's deeply frightened body. He knew very well that Echa was afraid of the disease she suffered as a child.

"Don't cry, Brother. They are strong children. You also have to be strong" said Ayanda.

"Did Mom used to be as fragile as Echa?" The question of being able to open the old wounds that Ayada had long buried within.

Rion was silent at Echa's words. His head lowered deeply as he had wasted his daughter who should have gotten attention instead of being thrown away like trash.

"There is no parent who is not worried about the condition of his son, Brother. Mamah even wants to replace your position in the sickly bed," he explained.

"And now, Echa feels the same way that Mamah feels," Echa said in a heavy voice.

Radit exhaled a rough breath. He let his wife vent what she felt to his mother. Only his mother was able to understand Echa's heart at the moment.

"Show Mom and your children that you are a strong mother. The more fragile you are, the more sad they will be. You can do it, brother."

After fifteen minutes, the doctor who handled the triplets came out.

"Are there parents to the triplets?"

"I, doc." The general practitioner smiled at Radit.

"Doctor Radit" said the doctor, named Doctor Ilham.

"Please come in." Radit clasped Echa's hand to enter the IGD room. Rion and Ayanda were waiting for them outside.

Echa's heart was sliced when she saw her three children lying weakly with their hands attached to an infusion needle. Their pale bodies were still clearly visible.

"I have to explain to Dr. Radit and his wife, that one of Radit's children has symptoms of Arrhythmia."

The world of Echa was devastated to hear it. His body is not boned. His hand gripped Radit's arm very tightly.

Just a gentle swab on the back of Echa's hand that Radit gave. Lie, if Radit isn't sad. However, he could still bandage that sad with a face that looked fine in front of everyone.

"Who's doc?" ask Radit.

"Aleesa Addhitama."

Now, Echa's tears can't be held back. Pouring profusely heard the second child must have the same fate as him.

"Don't worry, these are still early symptoms. Arrhythmias can still be cured. Origin of routine health check and do not make Aleesa excessive shock."

Doctor Ilham explained in detail to Radit and Echa. However, Echa's ears were suddenly deaf because her eyes were already focused on the bodies of her three weakly lying children.

"Now, Radit's doctor takes care of his administration so that the three Radit doctors' children can be immediately transferred to the ward" said Dr. Ilham.

"I want my three children transferred to an international hospital under the auspices of the Wiguna Group," pinta Echa with a bated cry.

"I want the best for Aleesa. Whatever I'll sacrifice for him." Radit perfectly understood how broken Echa's heart found such a bitter reality. He also could not refuse as it was indeed better to be admitted to a larger hospital with a special doctor.

Echa and Radit came out of the IGD with a lethargic face. Ayanda and Rion immediately approached the couple.

"Sir."

Echa hugged her father's body. Spilling all the pain, sadness, and destruction to the father.

"What's up, Dit?" ask Ayanda.

"Aleesa .. experiencing symptoms of Arrhythmia." Ayanda closed her mouth in disbelief. Her tears have grown. He stared at Echa who was crying.

Why do you have to experience the same thing as Mamah, brother.

"Echa wants to move the care of children to an international hospital under the auspices of Wiguna Group." Ayanda nodded in agreement.

"Mamah will take care of everything" said Ayanda.

At an international hospital, Echa still feels at home to see her three children who are still asleep because of the influence of drugs. Now, his eyes were fixed on Aleesa who was lying in the number two gurney. His heart was crying, his tears could not stop dripping.

"Darling, we have to be sincere. I'm sure Aleesa is strong."

Echa was still silent, not a single word was spoken from her lips. His brain has not been able to accept the reality. Not a single mother was unharmed hearing a disease lodged in her daughter's body.

It was like being torn apart, slashed by a very sharp knife. He was stabbed by a very long dagger and shot with a lot of bullets.

"I'd better replace Aleesa." Radit immediately embraced his wife's body. Echa's words were very heartbreaking.

"Don't be like that, honey. There are still Aleena and Aleeya who need you. There is me who does not want to be left behind. We take care of Aleesa together, yeah. We're healing the illness Aleesa suffered. We fought together, honey. You are not alone. There I will always accompany you and share the duty of caring for Aleesa. There are three of his grandfathers who will definitely take care of Aleesa, and also Mamah who will help us get through all this." Echa tightened her embrace towards the husband.

What Radit said is nothing wrong. His fate is much luckier than the mother who had to struggle alone to care for herself when sick. Moreover, the financial condition is very minimal which requires the mama must work during the night and leave it to the neighbors. Echa didn't want that to happen to her.

"Don't cry anymore, yeah." Radit gently rubbed Echa's tears and kissed her forehead deeply.

"Mom-s." The voice of one of the children of Echa and Radit.

"Sa's sister."

Aleesa smiled towards Radit and also Echa. However, his chest felt tight.

"A-tit," he said, holding his chest.

"Don't move too much, yeah." Echa was already sitting beside Aleesa. Trying to look okay.

"Nga-ngan-"

"Sa's brother, is sick. That's why it was worn by the doctor. If you want the needle to be removed, Brother Sa has to heal" Radit said.

"Atit, Ba." Aleesa began to cry and Echa had to turn her back because she could not see Aleesa's suffering like this.

"Don't cry, dong. Brother Sa's a smart kid and a strong kid. Don't make Brother Na and Dedek Ya wake up" added Radit who was struggling to hold tightness in the chest.

Aleesa turned to his left and right. It turned out that it was not only Aleesa who had an infusion needle placed on her hand. Both his brothers are the same.

"Now Brother Sa rest, yes. Baba's gonna read a fairy tale, okay?" Aleesa's cry subsided and she nodded slowly.

Echa chose to go into the bathroom spilling her sadness in there. Seeing Aleesa was like seeing her as a child. Fortunately Aleesa had Radit accompanying him in this sick condition. And himself? Only a wishful thinking carried by the wind when he wanted to be accompanied by his father.

"Mom-s." The sound of the other Echa children made Echa immediately wash her face and rush over to them.

"Atit," complained Aleena and also Aleeya.

"Yes, Son. Bubu knows. Don't cry, yeah. Don't make Brother Sa sad" added Echa with swollen eyes.

Aleeya and Aleena looked towards their side. There was Aleesa who had fallen asleep after being read a fairy tale by his father.

"Ay, Aleena and Aleeya slept in one bed only. Aleesa let her sleep alone." Radit nodded in understanding, he moved Aleeya's body to Aleena's bed.

"Sa's eyes?" ask Aeleya.

"Sa's brother has to sleep alone" replied Echa.

Luckily Echa has a husband who is really on standby. Share the task with him. In fact, almost all of Radit's duties are running.

The news of the triplets lying has been heard into the ears of Addhitama and Gio. They came with toys and food favorite of the triplets and also their parents.

"Dit, eat first. Let Papih play with them," said Addhitama who is now approaching Aleena and Aleeya's bed. While Aleesa was being fed his favorite pudding by Gio.

"Eat first, Cha. You will be sick later. A mother should not be sick" Addhitama said.

Radit invited his wife to eat. However, they chose to eat in the hospital canteen.

"Dear." Echa's tears are spilling again. His hands hugged Radit's body.

"Keep strong! The kids need our support. Don't be weak" Radit said.

"It's not just you who are sad to hear this reality. I'm sad too, but I don't want to drag on because I know, kids need our strength. You also feel the power of mamah that makes you continue to struggle to heal. Now, it's time for us to be strong, tough parents for their recovery."

Forgive Echa, Mah. Echa has not been able to repay all of Mamah's services.

Radit let Echa drown with all the flavor that was inside her chest. When everything seems to be improving. Radit began to feed Echa painfully.

"We can't get sick. We should always be healthy for the sake of the children." Echa nodded.

Although the dishes he ate were delicious, but tasted bland in Echa's mouth. Echa's heart is numb and affects everything.

"Never leave me," he asked.

"Never, dear. I will always accompany you. Love and sorrow will pass together. I'm not going to take off the three diamond gems I've painstakingly obtained."

"I just want to age with you and see our kids grow up. Shake the hands of the men who will be their companions. As well as seeing the tiny babies of the work of our children with their partners." Echa smiled and placed her head on the husband's shoulder. She deeply felt the great love Radit had for her and her three daughters.

"Thank you for being present in my life. Thank you for being my husband." Radit hugged Echa's body from the side and kissed the tip of her head.

"No need to thank me. We are united to complement each other."

When a woman's heart is not okay. A hug and sincere words that come out of the mouth of the couple will be a tranquilizer and a conditioning. Moreover, couples who want to shoulder to shoulder take care of everything. It will make the women happier. That's what Echa felt. There is no sense of happiness that cannot be exchanged for anything. Having Raditya Addhitama's husband is the most beautiful gift God has given her. A man who is not demanding and whose patience is as vast as the ocean.
