The Story Behind the Curtain
I don't know who
After Erli's departure, Rafan leaves the NICU room for the hospital park which is quite far from there. The thin mustachioed man was sitting pensively staring at the dustless expanse of sky, clouds and birds adding to the beauty of the vast blue sky.
Am I being too outrageous? rafan asked in his heart.
"But I was really jealous when I saw the item that Xavier had given, for him!" Saying that makes Rafan's anger even more intense.
The man was so swept away in his daydream that he could not realize there was a man sitting next to him. Rafan slightly flinched as he turned his gaze away.
"Astagfirefull!" Reflek Rafan shifted his body.
"I'm sorry I've taken you by surprise" said the old man.
"It's okay, sir. I'm the one who is too focused on my own mind" said Rafan who slightly nodded his head.
The two Sling men introduced themselves and their conversation was quite fun, to the point where a phone call broke off their conversation. The old man who had been sitting with Rafan had said goodbye.
"Waalaikumsalam, what is Nia?" ask Rafa on the phone.
"Where's mom, Mas?"ask Rania to relax.
"In the room, Mas again in the park enjoying the atmosphere of the afternoon." Rafan pulled his hair back.
"Rania and Aunt have been here since 15 minutes ago. But, Ma'am didn't show up!" Rebat Rafan turns off his phone call unilaterally and runs towards Erli's room being treated.
Just getting in front of his wife's room, a female nurse came in with her judes face.
"Are you or out taking your baby out of the NICU? We will have prohibited not to bring the baby out of the room, because the condition of the baby has not allowed exposed to the outside air," said the nurse by pursing her lips while frowning.
"Didn't one of you bring my baby in for a check-up!" rafan said firmly.
Hearing Rafan's statement makes the perinatology nurse worried plus surprised not playing.
"If anything happens to our baby, I don't stay still. I'll sue all of you" Rafan threatened, his index finger pointing towards the Perinatology nurse standing up.
"I'll check once again, sir. Who knows if it was our friend who brought your baby" said the nurse.
Hearing there was a commotion Rania and Dewi came out questioning what had happened. Rafan tells his aunt and sister that the baby is not in the NICU.
"We'd better call the police, Fan! It's not a trivial Maslah, Erli and your baby disappeared together. Maybe they were kidnapped?" The goddess looked at her nephew in turn.
"Tante don't make Rafan even more frantic" asked Rafan as he grabbed his phone.
"I didn't mean it that way, it's just that I'm afraid that anything will happen to your wife and child." The words of the Goddess made Rafan think so.
Where there is a person who just finished the operation can go for a long way to bring his child out, because their child needs sun therapy and he also needs other medical tools to refute his immune system is not good.
"We should split up. Aunty's going there and Nia's going that way! I will search around the park and the hospital corridors" said Rafan ordered his sister and aunt.
The three of them also split up looking for various places, they also asked Erli's whereabouts with people passing by in the hospital hallway. However, everyone shook their heads and answered not knowing with the person they were asking.
"Yes Allah Erli .. Where are you now?" The Goddess's eyes were looking for Erli in various corners of the hospital, but she did not find the nose of her nephew's wife.
Likewise with Rania, the shoulder-haired girl was looking for her sister-in-law in the hospital cafeteria until she was sitting limp on the edge of the fish pond.
"Your son so you, can be free without thinking of exhausting things." Rania rubbed her sweaty forehead with the back of her own hand.
...***...
The doctor sighed and grabbed the infusion tube attached to Erli's left hand. The syringe penetrated the infusion hose, slowly the liquid came out and spread throughout Erli's body. I don't know what the doctor injected, which obviously the injection made Erli unconscious.
"Please forgive me! Don't blame me for what's happening right now" he said, shaking his hand repeatedly in front of Erli.
He might have thought Erli had lost his consciousness, but it turned out. The young mother was still half-conscious and could hear the doctor's voice even though it was not so clear.
Who sent this man? What is Xavier? There was no way he wouldn't do this bad.
Erli and the baby were taken out of the hospital and it appeared the tiny baby was crying. To his surprise the nurse gently patted Erli's thigh while saying nice things.
The doctor and two nurses who escorted Erli pushed the gurney towards the top room. A well-dressed man approached Erli who was still asleep, an evil smile appeared on someone's face, with his heavy voice giving another order to the doctor and two nurses who accompanied Erli.
