The Wife You Divorced
A very worrying condition

Mila and Zaki are still in the front waiting room of the ICU. Already from last night they were waiting for Holy Mother who had not yet realized.

A doctor approached Zaki.

"Sir Zaki, can I talk to you for a minute?" ask doctor.

"There's something I want to talk to you about."

"Good Doc."

"Let's come to my room. Let's have a better word."

"Yes Doc."

Before leaving, Zaki looked at Mila.

"Mil, I'll go first. Are you okay waiting here ?" ask Zaki to Mila.

"Yes. I'll wait here, ma'am."

After agreeing with Mila, Zaki then walked away following the doctor to the doctor's office.

Zaki walked in and sat down in Gunawan's doctor's room. The doctor who handled the Holy Mother.

"Sir Zaki, there are serious problems that you should know about" said Gunawan.

"What's up Doc?" ask Zaki curiously.

"Holy Mother broke a bone in one of her legs. And it looks like the Holy Mother should have an operation right away."

Zaki was shocked when he heard the doctor's words.

"Doctor, do your best for my mother. If necessary, operate on him now. Whatever the cost, I'll definitely pay Doc."

"It's not a matter of cost, Mr. Zaki. But this is more a matter of condition Holy Mother. At the moment, the Holy Mother is still critical. And the chances of it healing are very small. Only twenty percent. We have not been able to perform the operation because of the condition of the Holy Mother who is not stable. If we force for surgery now, the risk will be huge sir" explained the Doctor.

"As far as you are Doc. The important thing is to do the best for my mother. If the handling here is not optimal and the tools are incomplete, I will take my mother to Jakarta alone to get the best handling."

"We will do our best for Holy Mother. But if to heal or not, we just surrender the same power. Hopefully, Holy Mother can still be saved."

"yes Doc. I've dropped Doc. Hopefully, there's a miracle for my mom."

"That's Mr. Zaki, all I want to talk about."

"Yes, Doc. I'll come out first then.'

"Please Mr. Zaki."

Zaki came out of the doctor's office. He then walked back to the ICU room to meet Mila there.

"What's up Zaki?" mila asked when she saw Zaki's face look glum.

"Mama Mil," said Zaki while sitting next to Mila.

"Your mom why?"

"Doctor's word, your chances of recovery are only twenty percent."

Mila was shocked when she heard Zaki say.

"What! the chances of recovery are only twenty percent. But Holy Ma'am can still recover, right?'

"I don't know Mil. We just share with God. Because life and death are God's. We can only pray and trust. May there be a miracle for Mama, so that she may come to her senses soon."

"Propay me. You must be strong. I will always accompany you and support you here."

"Thank you Mil."

"We both pray. Let's pray your mommy wakes up soon."

"If you're conscious, maybe she won't be able to walk either."

"Why Mas?'

"Mama broke a bone. And he's gonna have to do the operation."

"Yes Mil. It will take a long time to heal."

Mila breathed deeply. He was sad when he heard that. The Holy Mother was no one Mila. But Mila already thought that Holy Mother was her own biological mother. If Holy Mother were to leave her life, Mila would definitely be greatly lost.

A drop of Mila's tears fell from her eye patch, as Mila saw Zaki crying.

"I'm not ready Mil, lost Mama. He is a very important person in my life. He's my family's the only one I've got. If he leaves, I don't know what my life is like Mil" Zaki said, wiping his tears. She didn't want to look whiny in Mila's eyes. .

"Prophe Mas Zaki. Zaki is not alone. Mas Zaki still has a lot of people who love Mas Zaki. Mas Zaki still has good friends, good employees, and good neighbors. Including Mas Zaki also still has me. I will always accompany Mas Zaki to get through all these problems" Mila said as she rubbed Zaki's shoulders trying to strengthen Zaki.

Zaki smiled. After that he grabbed Mila's hand and clasped her tightly.

"Thank you Mil."

Mila nodded.

"All the people who live in the world, it will surely be loved trials. But the trials between one person and another are different. We as humans, must be patient to face the ordeal."

"Yes Mil. I know, all I have is a deposit. Papa I was called by God when I was a child. Yesterday, I lost my sister too. And I'm not ready to lose my mama Mil."

"Believe me, Holy Mother will definitely be aware and will soon recover. All we can do now is pray for him."
