Bali
At 17:00
Abbey sat down on the chair next to Alma's bed while continuing to stare at her sleeping princess.
Sreeet...
The curtains of Alma ward are open.
Sontak Abbey turned to the curtains.
"Bey..." Chika, who had just returned to work, went straight to the hospital after receiving news from Annet about Alma's disease.
"Sheep..."
Chika hugged her best friend.
"I've heard from Annet about Alma, who is patient well Bey, you have to be strong for Alma" said Chika affirming the heart of Abbey.
Abbey is crying in Chika's arms. Not wanting to make Alma and the other patients disturbed by the sound of Abbey's crying, Chika led Abbey out of Alma's nursery.
Once outside the room, Abbey was still crying. Chika also allowed Abbey to vent her cries until she stopped herself.
"What do I do now, Chik? Alma had to be taken to Jakarta and treated there" Abbey said.
"Is there no other option?" ask Chika.
"There is, but Alma's second option was brought to Singapore. But I guess if I go to Singapore, I can't afford Chik. The cost of hospitals there is expensive, not to mention the cost of living and living. If in Jakarta we can still use health insurance from the government and residence, he said we can live in a special shelter for children with cancer" replied Abbey.
"Instead, being treated in a hospital here can't? There are also many big hospitals here." asked Chika.
"Doctors say it's better to go to a cancer hospital, because there are special doctors who treat children who suffer from leukemia" replied Abbey.
Chika sighed harshly.
"Then we have brought Alma to Jakarta if it is the best" said Chika.
"But I'm afraid of Chik." replied Abbey.
"Fear what?"
"I'm afraid to meet A' Ico. I don't want to see him again Chik." replied Abbey.
"Bey, Jakarta is broad, the opportunity to meet Rico tuh small. Even if you meet again, it means it's time Rico knew about Alma." Chika replied.
Abbey shook her head as if she didn't want Rico to know about Alma.
"Bey, no matter how hard you try to hide Alma, but you still can't fight destiny" said Chika.
"But Chik-"
"Udah.alah, now you do not have to think too far. We focus on Alma's recovery, now Alma's recovery is more important than your ego." Chika said.
"Hemh, you're really Chik." replied Abbey.
Abbey and Chika re-enter the nursery.
Once inside Alma ward, Alma was awake.
"Eh. Mother's child has woken up" said Abbey.
"Never from anywhere, Mother just sat in front of Aunt Chika" replied Abbey.
"Alma want a drink?" chika asked and replied with a nod of the head by Alma.
Chika takes a drink to Alma and helps Alma drink.
"Mother's crying out, huh?" ask Alma after she finished drinking.
"Not really" replied Abbey lying.
"But how come Mother's face is like someone's crying?" tanya Alma refused to believe.
"Then anyway? But Mother did not end crying anyway." replied Abbey.
"Maybe your mother is so exhausted, darling, so her face is like a cry." said Chika.
"Oh... Sorry Alma yah Bun because it has made Mother tired." said Alma.
"Why are you talking, honey? Mother never tired if for you." said Abbey while holding Alma's hand.
"Aunty means, Mommy is tired because of her work Dear, not because of you." Chika quickly read the words.
"But Mommy works because it makes Alma too. Well means Mother tired because of Alma." reply Alma.
Abbey smiled faintly.
"If the work must be dear, even though Mother does not have Alma but Mother still has to work, if not work how to eat. So Mommy is tired of work not because of Alma but it is the obligation of Mommy." said Abbey.
"Oh that." reply Alma.
"Mother of the morning hasn't had a bath yet, has she? Go home, take a shower. Mommy's face is very nice." said Alma.
Abbey and Chika chuckled small.
"Yes Bey, you go home and take a bath and rest at home, so tonight Alma I take care." Chika said.
"No Chik, you go home, let me take care of Alma, I can take a bath here too." refused Abbey.
"Bey, if you're here you won't be able to rest well. If you get sick, who will take care of Alma? Now don't ngeyel, rest at home, fill your body until full, trust Alma in my hands. Alma is also my son, so you don't have to worry anymore" Chika said.
Abbey breathed a rough sigh. True to what Chika said, the journey to cure Alma is still long, if she gets sick, who will take care of Alma and seek medical expenses for Alma. She has no reliable husband at least she has to use her best friend's shoulder to be her leaning place.
"Yes, I'll go home first then. If there's anything, call me right away. Okay." said Abbey.
"Um.." replied Chika while nodding her head.
"Alma Darling, Mommy comes home first well, tomorrow morning Mother comes again." said Abbey to Alma.
"Yes Bun." replied Alma.
"I came home Chik, take Alma." now Abbey said goodbye to Chika and was answered with a nod of the head by Chika.
Abbey came out of Alma's nursery.
The initial intention was to go home soon, but suddenly he remembered Rico. Abbey decided to stop at the Co.Bey Resto branch in Bali.
Not only this time Abbey came to the restaurant owned by Rico but it was often, especially when Abbey missed the figure of Rico. Although often come to the restaurant, but never once Abbey invited Alma to eat at the restaurant.
