At ten o'clock in the morning Aruna was back. When his eyes opened, he found Dara sleeping on the side of the bed with her arms crossed. Dara woke up waiting for her mother until the morning before, and about an hour ago she fell asleep lulled in sleepiness.
Aruna's heart was filled with regret in the heart. If time can be turned back then he will definitely prefer to struggle to raise his child, not satisfy his own worldly passions. However, such is regret, always coming at the end without giving a warning.
Dara felt a soft and comfortable caress in her head. His eyes blinked, after his consciousness had gathered he saw the frail face of his mother smilingly looking at him while rubbing his head.
“Bu... thank goodness, Mom finally woke up.” Dara straightened her body, grabbed Aruna's hand and stuck it on her cheek. “I... I am very anxious, I will call the doctor,” he said stuck in the throat, Dara was about to press the button located next to the bed, but Aruna held it.
“Mother is fine, Son. it has been the last few times it has always been like this, don't worry too much. No need to call the doctor first, I want to enjoy our togetherness,” said Aruna calming.
There was the sound of the door knob playing and Wira, one doctor, and her aunt together. Her aunt had just finished packing the necessities from Aruna's small house with the waiter, while Wira was busy coordinating with her father as well as the doctors at the hospital, preparing everything about the transfer of her mother-in-law to a hospital in Singapore.
The woman stood behind the chair Dara occupied, while the doctor stood on the other side. The doctor immediately checked Aruna's condition when he saw the patient was re-opened his eyes. “When do you wake up Mistress?” ask after he finished his job.
“Newly, Doc.”
“Mrs Aruna, tomorrow morning you will be transferred to a hospital in Singapore for further treatment with better facilities there. All the needs and procedures for the transfer have been completed taken care of by your son-in-law,” explained at the Doctor.
“Iya, Ma. tomorrow morning we leave,” Wira said.
“The night the condition of the mother dropped dramatically, the hospital suggested treatment in Singapore with equipment as well as better facilities there. No need to think about anything, Mas Wira has taken care of everything for Mother,” said Dara while holding Aruna's hand.
Aruna seemed to think. If he goes to Singapore, then the time to meet Dara will be less, while he himself knows what his condition is like. Several times the operation has been carried out since he was diagnosed with cancer, he also knows the final stage of cancer he suffered is very difficult to cure.
The desire to reach for that small glimmer of hope is indeed there, but Aruna does not want to spend any time that may soon be far from the child who just re-assembled with her, but Aruna does not want to spend any time that may soon be far from the child who has just re-assembled with her, after struggling with her thoughts, Aruna finally decided.
“Mother is very grateful, knowing you are married to someone like Doctor Wira. The husband who loves you is also responsible for the family. Thank you my Son, Son of a Hero, for all your affection and concern for this unworthy Mother like me, it feels so happy. I know very well the condition of my own body, with all my apologies, I refused to leave. Let Mother stay here, while God is still giving her time to breathe, I want to spend every single one of these precious seconds gathering with you Nak.”
“Don't be so Ma'am. Although the expectations are small I want to keep trying.” Dara said with a small sobbing that came back audible.
“Mother understands. I'm so grateful to you, my dutiful son.” Aruna stroked Dara's cheeks full of affection.
“Doctor, I want to ask for one thing, from tomorrow can the treatment be done at home only? this self has missed the atmosphere of the house, and also I have been tired for too long here. I want to stay at home like other parents, who can freely gather with their children and grandchildren.”
