The Substitute Heart of the Doctor
Part 47's

...****************...

Ekgita was in the makeshift tent and Aly checked Ekgita.

"Is there pain?"  Ekgita nodded slowly, "Cold sweat, fast breath and high fever" Aly muttered as she looked at the thermometer she had just used.

Aly looked at every part of Ekgita's body and found two bloody spots that had started to turn blue on his left leg.

"Alfi, prepare aspirin and anti-venom" said Aly who immediately called Alfi, "Iza, bring me warm water and antibiotics"

When Aly was putting a bidai on Ekgita's legs, Miko entered and immediately approached them. Aly was surprised even almost fell because of Miko's encouragement. It was fortunate that he hit Tyno's body that had just entered.

"Ext!" call Miko worriedly, "What's wrong with you?" 

"Miko" call Ekgita.

"He was exposed to neurotoxin toxins" said Aly while trying to calm down, "Seeing the symptoms of Ekgi, the poison has begun to spread" continued Aly who actually had a tone of doubt there.

Miko turns around and looks at Aly in surprise while Tyno pulls her closer to prevent what Miko is going to do.

"Doctor!" call Iza and Alfi together.

"The anticonvents don't exist!" alfie said in a hurry.

"Did?!" Aly sighed harshly, "Right, take antibiotics and anti-tetanus"

"What's going on?" tanya Miko who was moved by Aly.

"It's your antibiotic" said Alfi.

"Doctor!" miko asked Aly to answer.

"It's better if you calm down first, this isn't our part" Tyno said as he tried to calm Miko down.

"We must clean the wound, do not use alcohol or hot water"

"Why don't you open the wound and suck it out?" ask Tyno in a hurry.

"It'll just make the bleeding. When did he get bitten?"

"He was brought here when we got back earlier, at 18:10"

Aly was silent for a moment and recorded something on his phone, "It's past 5 minutes" Aly muttered with a heavy sigh, "Means we need anti-venom within 4 hours from now"

"You mean?" asked Tyno who was grinning confused.

"We don't have anti-venom here. So we need a central daei shipment. But the time limit is only until 10:00, during which we have to dispel the poison into the blood vessels. If we are late, Ekgita's life will not be saved" Aly explained in a serious tone.

"What did you say?!" Miko looked at Aly in disbelief, "Please, save her" Miko looked at Aly with a sad look.

"Miko..get out" said Ekgita with a soft look.

Miko shook her head then looked at Ekgita fixedly with a worried look there, "No. For the second time"

Ekgita lowered the gangan Miko on her forehead and then grasped it, "And..I..do not mem..make you worry...again" Miko fell silent while wiping the sweat that poured because it held the pain, "Swab.rang per..gilah" Ekgita again put away Miko's hand.

"Ext!" miko exclaimed firmly, "Enough, now don't move, and let me stay by your side"

"David has left the dock" said Iza who gave a report to Aly.

"Hopefully get it faster"

Suddenly Ekgita was struck, "Nabil get aspirin! You're out!" aly exclaims to Miko and Tyno.

Miko slumped to the ground as she and Tyno were outside the tent. Tyno patted Miko's shoulder gently.

"Ready, the medicube report has arrived" reported Alfan who told if the medicube medical team has arrived.

Tyno patted Miko on the shoulder again this time even harder, "I have to take care of everything else, Alfan told Aly if the medicube had arrived"

"Ready"

20.00

Miko continued to hold Ekgita's cold hand, her free hand also kept checking Ekgita's body heat, from her forehead to both sides of her neck. Miko continues to feel was was was because of Ekgita heat is getting higher and also time is thinning.

"Miko" call the weak Ekgita, "Return"

Ekgita's face looks pale even her eye bags also look reddened and swollen.

Miko just kept quiet and looked at Ekgita inside, "What do you feel now?" miko asked while holding Ekgita's hand with both hands.

"Cold is also sick" replied Ekgita who also looked into Miko's eyes with a saying, "But there is one thing. When you left me" he said, chuckling.

"I'm sorry" said Miko, "I shouldn't have to go back to Jakarta at that time" Miko said regretfully, "I must have tortured you?"

"Very" Ekgita replied softly but sounded very piercing to Miko, "But.all is also my fault. I.. go without..seek clarity from.mu first. I'm being selfish, right?…I take this as my karma.If I die.at least you know.I've forgiven you"

Miko shook her head slowly and tightened her grip, "Don't talk like that" he said firmly.

Ekgita stared at the ceiling of the medicube, "Sometimes...I thought...do I have to die..was it new...can you get your attention?" Ekgita looked at Miko who was stunned by her words just now.

Getting unexpected treatment Ekgita shed his tears and nodded slowly.

"Ekgi, is your heat still going up?" ask Aly who just got into the medicube with Alfi.

Aly took out her fire thermometer and looked at Ekgita's body temperature. Seeing that Aly bit her lower lip slowly and then checked Ekgita's heart rate and blood pressure, "You can take blood-boosting drugs right?" asked Aly who was taken slowly by Ekgita, "Alfi asked the kitchen team to cook porridge for Ekgi and bring antibiotics and blood enhancers"

"Am I going to..stay alive?" ask Ekgita slowly.

Aly just kept quiet while staring at Ekgita inside, "Doctors can only try, while the result depends on the above"

Miko looked down deeply after Aly's words while Ekgita looked at Miko.

"I'll excuse you. If there's anything call me right away" Aly's message to Miko.

Miko nodded slowly while still looking down. After Aly came out Miko looked at Ekgita grudgingly, "Doctor Aly was right. You'll stay with me and we'll stay together" said Miko, kissing the back of Ekgita's hand as she closed her eyes.

Ekgita smiled gently, a tear fell back, "Yes, I'll stay with you"

Miko hid her face behind her grasp. The slow vibration on Miko's strapping shoulder made Ekgita know that the man was crying without a sound.

Jakarta, 20.30

Drrt..drrt.

The vibration of the mobile phone that is on a large table makes the empu immediately lift the phone.

"Hallo Ama, what's wrong?"

"Father! Atha's escaped!"

Aji got up from his big chair and walked out of his study. The door of a room he opened was rough.

"Ama has just called" the room's owner sneered in surprise with Aji's facial expression, "Atha ran away from the hospital"

"Papa sure?" Aji nodded softly, "I'm not sure where that kid is either"

"Have you seen him weird or not lately?"

Iyas was silent for a moment and let out a long sigh lightly he slammed his body into his bed, "Udah is Pa, justin. My son is big too"

Aji kicked the table beside her loudly, "Atha is different from you!"

"Indeed" Iyas got up and stood in front of Aji, "Then let him seek a new experience"

Aji clenched tightly and then sighed harshly, "Gendr…"

"No need to call them" Iyas said while playing with his phone, "Fox report" Iyas said suddenly as he stood near Aji, "We lost 2 suitcases"

"You mean?"

Iyas smiled obliquely, "Well. He's hard to guess, right?"

Aji looked at Iyas with a worried look, "Papa's grandfather should send you to a psychiatrist"

"I'm not crazy Pa!"

Donggala, 21.33

Tyno was watching all his members work. Suddenly Alfan came and saluted.

"How is the soil?" tyno asked without seeing Alfan.

Alfan lowered his respect, "The land still looks unstable but won't be as big as before" Alfan replied, "Kapt, may I ask?"

"Why?"

"Is Afrizal still no news?"

Tyno was silent for quite a while and then sighed heavily, "He's already here he said, but because of his disappearance for up to 3 days, as a punishment he's still in the command center"

Alfan let out a sigh of relief, "I was afraid that Afrizal was also like Sakti and Bara"

"Tomorrow, when we return to Jakarta. The colonel will announce our new member" Tyno said as he continued to pay attention to the performance of his subordinates, "Oh yes, what signals and electricity can be accessed?"

"Electricity is still in the works, for some signals can be accessed" Alfan replied while putting on his thinking face.

Tyno immediately took the phone from inside his back pocket, "My signal is there"

Alfan sneered confused as he looked behind Tyno, more precisely the direction of the medicube, "Captain does not accompany your favorite Doctor?"

"He's busy, I don't want to bother him"

"But it looks like he's looking for some fresh air" Alfan said, pointing to Aly walking away from the medicube, "Are you sure you don't want to be with him? Doctor Aly is beautiful, smart, targeted by many people"

Tyno smiled faintly, "Other first, I have something important to take care of"
