Chapter 7 - The Unknown

“Anna, let me take it. If you get sick, don't ask for mercy from me. Whether I get sick or die, I will not appear before you. And vice versa. I will not ask for help if I am sick, even if I die I will also not take care of you guys.” said Arin who tried to hold back her cries — then walked away to her room, then walked to her room, leaving both of his parents who could only be stunned.

The house went back to being quiet after last night's fight. All do not greet each other like a stranger who lives in one roof. Dad even chose to sleep at the patrol post, while the mother just locked herself in the room. Homework becomes neglected. Although a little forced finally Arin and Anna who had to intervene to clean the house.

Although actually tomorrow they can move to the apartment, but they still do not have the heart to leave both their parents with this condition. Arin orders a meal with an ojek online. After receiving the order, he immediately went to the kitchen, set aside food for his mother and father, and went to Anna's room for lunch.

NGIUNG …! NGIUNG …! NGIUNG …!

A speeding ambulance took an emergency patient to a nearby hospital. A middle-aged man fainted after having a sudden heart attack. Ambulance workers have provided first aid by performing CPR and providing oxygen hoses to help him breathe.

In the middle of an important meeting with foreign investors for the development of its application. Haru immediately ran out without a second thought after getting a call from his mother if his father was unconscious and was on his way to the hospital. The investors seemed confused to see Haru leaving just like that, as well as Dimas who was trying to calm the current condition.

Keep running until he gets in front of his car. His mind was so fucked up — as the car drove by quickly. Whatever happens, he just wants to come in time to see his father. Cold sweat all over his body and hands that began to tremble due to a fear and anxiety of the worst state his father might be in at this time.

Arriving at the hospital, Haru immediately ran to the operating room because his father had entered while he was still on his way. Seen from a distance, the mother seemed to cry alone in front of the operating room. Hara ran over to her mother and hugged her very tightly.

“Haru ... how is this, your father ... your father ..”

The helpless mother held back her tears, the deep sadness could not stop thinking about the bad things about her husband's current state. Even though a few minutes ago before the incident she was still beside her husband who was cleaning his flower garden together. But suddenly he fell unconscious until now lying in the operating room.

“Dad must be fine, Ma'am ... calm ..” Haru tries to calm his mother.

Time goes on like it's so slow.

One hour .. two hours …

The clock that was plastered near the entrance of the operating room kept changing.

Now it's been over for 4 hours, the doctor did not come out of the operating room.

Mother leaned against Haru's shoulder, she looked so exhausted that she fell asleep. As the only boy, Haru should be a strong figure for his mother. Even Haru had not shed her tears since she learned the bad news about her father.

Both of Haru's eyes saw the figure of a doctor who was seen walking towards the door, it could be the doctor who operated on his father. Soon Haru hummed his mother who was asleep.

“Mother wake up ... there's a doctor,” Hara said gently.

Mom immediately woke up.

“Doctor, how is my husband?” mother asked as she walked up to the doctor, as well as Haru.

“As there is a blockage due to a bacterial clot has ruptured which causes the patient to suddenly have a heart attack. We've repaired his heart valve and cleared the area affected by the infection, it actually took us a very long time. For now the patient should still be reviewed in the icu room for its development. The operation went well and the patient was past his critical period. Now we just have to wait for its development.” said the doctor very clearly.

“Doctors mean, his father no infective endocarditis?” asked Haru who looked so confused.

“Iya.”

“Thank you very much, doctor .. thank you,” said Mother.

“Iya. then. Excuse me.” said the Doctor who then walked back into the operating room.

Haru who is still stunned by the fact that his father had indeed hidden the disease from him.

“Why didn't mom tell me you were sick?” ask Haru.

“Im sorry mom. I told you to get the insects to do the surgery, but your dad doesn't want to worry you. He just routinely takes the medicine prescribed by the doctor,” said Mother so guilty to Haru who looked disappointed and sad.

“Why do you think like that, what is more important than your health ..” said Hara who was angry with herself who could not take care of her parents.

“Im sorry mom ..”

The guilt of both his parents makes Haru can only sit limp with the anger he holds. Her tears that later fell due to tightness in her chest knowing the fact that she had failed to become a devoted child to both parents. He was just busy with work until he forgot that the two old people were not young anymore like they used to be and he should be more careful to take care of their health, thought Haru who cried dyed his mother.

Haru just keeps blaming himself, aloof in a park behind the hospital. The incident still made the hand feel so cold because he was afraid that he would really lose his father. All the hard work, all the success obtained will be in vain if he loses his world.

Is it possible because he is too ambitious and work crazy to not have time to see those who even hide something serious just because they do not want to interfere with his son's work. His heart had to hear that sentence from his mother's mouth. Suddenly his phone rang, a call came in from Dimas.

“Iya hello ..,”

“Pak Haru? How is he doing?” ask Dimas.

Haru was silent for a few seconds. “ ..., I hope he will be fine,” Haru said.

“Pak Haru does not have to worry about work in the office, everything is going well. The rest let us do it. Mr. Haru don't forget to rest, you have to be stronger for them ..” Dimas said.

“Emm .. thanks yes, I trust all the same lo,” Haru said while turning off his phone. He went back silent and kept breathing.
