Kezia's eyes opened as the sound of a phone ringing rattled his eardrums. He immediately grabbed a cellphone not far from his bed and appeared to be a call from the hospital where he worked. Kezia immediately occupied his body, leaning on the edge of the bed.
“Halo.”
“Iya, hello. Good morning doc. Sorry early in the morning I called doctor.” said a voice over there
“Iya gag pa-pa. what's up?”
“This doc, there's a patient post chemo went into shock this morning. Now he's still in the ER, being treated by an ER doctor. But the condition is not too good.” explained the nurse there
“Okey, you send the data to me, keep asking the ER doctor to make an introduction for laboratory examination yes, I am going there immediately.”
“Good doc.”
Kezia immediately disconnected the phone. He cleaned his body for a while and then rushed to change clothes. The key to the car and his personal belongings are in the bag. With quick steps he headed for the garage, started the car engine and rushed off to the hospital. On the way several times he received calls. Until he finally arrived at the hospital.
“The patient is in the dock observation room, still unconscious.” said the nurse while handing over the stetoscope to Kezia.
Kezia began to examine the patient lying before him. His condition is pretty bad. From the results of the lab examination, he must minimize therapy for his patients. He recorded a few things in his medical record book and prescribed drugs for his therapy.
“Is his family any history of inherited diseases?” kezia asked the nurse beside him.
“We have not confirmed to his family dok.” said the nurse.
“Asking his family in, there are a few things I have to say.”
“Good doc.”
A woman sits in front of Kezia. Kezia started asking a few questions. With a hiccup the patient's daughter answered him. Kezia also explained the patient's condition and treatment plan, although with sadness, his daughter could accept kezia's explanation.
“Mba continues to love support and do’a to the mother, who is strong, try not to cry in front of mother.” concluded Kezia.
“Good doc, thank you very much.” said the girl.
He tried to strengthen himself. The same feeling Kezia had felt also when accompanying Angga through treatment. Something easy to say but hard to do. Kezia's mind soared, twisting his memories while with Angga. Until he realized that the girl had disappeared from before him.

Kezia's body felt so sticky from the sweat. He was trying to clean his body quickly. Several times the phone rang, but none of it lifted.
Elsewhere, Arland kept looking at his phone, waiting for Kezia to call him back, but never once did the phone turn on.
“Mima no answer phone onkle yes?” asked Sean who was enjoying his Eskrim.
“Iya , but it's noon. He should have finished checking the patient.” muttered Arland with a panicked face.
“We go to the place of mima aja onkle, sean kangen same mima..” proposed the handsome boy.
“Okey, let's pick up mima.” Sahut Arland while herding Sean's body to the car. Sean walked away with pleasure.
During the trip Arland felt unsettled. Sean chattered cheerfully but Arland only heard it in passing. For some reason, he kept thinking of Kezia.
In front of the hospital, people were seen crowding. Arland immediately parked his car, then took Sean down.
“What is this mba?” arland asked one of the women who was looking at the incident.
“That's a crazy woman, threatening a hospital doctor. Pake bring a knife all.” said the woman while shuddering.
Arland. From a distance he saw several security officers trying to get closer.
“Gue says no one dares approach or I kill this woman!” exclaim that woman.
“Mimaaa!!” sean yelled as he saw Kezia in the grip of a woman with a knife pointed at her neck.
“Sean, don't come here son!” kezia shouted with a trembling voice.
Sean ran towards Kezia. The rest of the ice cream in his hand just fell down. Arland did not have time to hold back Sean who ran so fast. Another woman quickly catches Sean's body.
“Hahahaha good, we get two fish at once!” said the other woman.
“Difa, sean off!” shouted Arland who recognized the two women as Difa and Irene.
“Hay baby, you want me to release which one?” Irene asked, chuckling. Seen also evil grin on the face of Difa.
“You guys don't be kidding! It's danger!” arland.
“Loh, who's kidding land? You always protect kezia right, try to protect her again now. When I really love you, you are even more greedy woman. If I gag can get you, he also gag will be able to get you!” scream Irene.
“Fa, you can take me, but please release sean, he's guilty gag..” watered Kezia with a vibrating voice.
“Hahahaha gag can! If you want me to release this child, you must promise me you will give arland to me.” said Difa.
“You gag can hurt mima, can't!” sean shouted while biting Difa's hand.
“Aw! Damn it, you little devil!” Difa complain
Sean immediately runs from Difa, but Difa tries to chase after Sean and points a knife at Sean. At the same time Arland confronted him
“Sret...” an incision wound hit Arland's abdomen. The people around screamed hysterically as the red stain began to drip.
Arland held onto his bleeding stomach. Difa's hands seemed trembling, he was so shocked. The knife he used fell.
“Land, I gag on purpose.” Difa said with trembling hands trying to reach Arland's body.
They ran under several security guards.
“Ckiiiittt!! BRAK!!” a car stopped, he hit the body of Irene who was walking in front of Difa. Irene was drooping with blood. While Difa was just sculpting, he looked extremely shocked.
“Land!!” yelled Kezia who immediately ran over to Arland who fell down with blood in the stomach and penetrated his shirt. He did not care about the blood that kept dripping down his neck. “You hold it for a while, we go to the hospital immediately.” said Kezia while pressing the blood coming out of Arland's wound. Arland grimaced enduring the pain from his wound.

Before long, some nurses brought a blankar and put Arland on it. They quickly pushed Arland's body towards the ER.
“Mima, sean was afraid..” screeched Sean while hugging Kezia who was also trembling.
“Relax dear, onkle arland must be fine..” Kezia immediately held Sean who hugged him tightly.
Kezia ran behind the blankar carrying Arland's body. Until then Arland was still unconscious, only his body was quite weak due to the loss of a lot of blood.
Arland was put in the ER room. A quick-witted doctor, none other than Rana, examines Arland.
“Sean, wait outside same sister yes, mima loi onkle first.” persuade Kezia. Sean nodded. “Sus, please take care of my child for a while.” Kezia added to the nurse in front of him. The nurse happily took Sean out of the ER room.
“Key, that's your neck is also bleeding.” said Rana with a worried face.
“Iya brother, I can do his own wound, brother please arland first aja.” timpal Kezia in panic.
He immediately cleaned his wound in front of a glass in the sink. The wound was not too deep, so it was enough to give him the wound medicine and cover it with gauze.
“Aaahhh...” Arland's groaning voice held back the pain in his wound. Kezia approached him immediately.
“The wound is quite long, but lucky his abdominal muscles are good so the wound is not too deep.” It was Rana who was cleaning Arland's wounds. “I started sewing the wound yes land..” continued Rana who was preparing. Arland agreed.
Kezia held Arland's hand tightly. Occasionally he hissed to calm Arland who looked in pain. Arland looked at the face of Kezia who was beside him. Slowly the pain was lessened by her calm feeling of seeing Kezia who was fine.
Rana quickly finished her work. Wrap Arland's wound with some gauze.
“Dok, I can be treated at home, right?” ask Arland
“Udah surely you ask kayak that because you feel someone will ngerawat ya?” ledek Rana's.
Arland just smiled hearing Rana's teasing. “Lo is lucky to have kezia, cancer patients can only heal let alone shallow wounds like this.” continued Rana while pressing a little wound Arland.
“Aaww...” Arland back complaining
"Kak ranaa.." Kezia protested with annoyance at Rana's frown.
“Your boyfriend cengeng key!” cetus Rana's.
“Enak aja girlfriend, prospective husband tau!” sahut Arland's.
“Iya, yes prospective husband.” Rana said with a smile. Kezia smiled calmly as he saw that Arland could still chatter. His heart almost fell when he remembered the incident. Rana started writing down some prescription drugs for Arland. “This is the recipe, later let the nurse take the medicine. Don't forget, your wound must also be treated yes key, do not get why-napa.” continued Rana while rubbing Kezia's shoulder.
“Okey, thank you brother. “ said Kezia and Arland almost simultaneously.
Rana nodded while smiling. Soon he passed, continuing his work of examining other patients.
*****
By then, Kezia, Arland and Sean had arrived at Arland's apartment. Slowly Kezia carried the tall body of Arland higher than him. As soon as Arland opened his apartment passcode, Kezia laid Arland on his bed.
Arland grimaced as he felt the pain from his wound.
“Rest first yes, I ready to eat first.” said Kezia while enveloping Arland to his stomach. Arland nodded. “Please keep onkle yes dear.” added Kezia to little Sean.
“Okey mima!” say it with a smile that shows his toothless tooth. Kezia smiled as she rubbed Sean's head. He immediately went to prepare food for Arland and Sean.
“Onkle what does it feel like so much pain?” Sean looked at Arland's face with a worried look.
“Eemmm, little!” sahut Arland with a smile
“Thank God.. Sean was very afraid that his chest was hurt because of sean.” Sean's downcast
“Dada?” Arland scrunched his forehead.
Sean's nosediving. “Onkle will be married to mima, sean is happy that ongkle will be the chest for sean..” watered down the handsome boy while bowing to look at Arland's wounds.
Arland smiled with pleasure. “Hem... here hug the chest..” said Arland while stretching his hand.
Sean slipped his body between his two arms. He felt a warmth that he had never felt before.
“Kalo sean is already big, sean will be a strong boy. Sean will take good care of Mima and chest. So chest do not hurt again..” shrewd Sean who makes Arland so moved.
“Now he has become a strong boy. Dada is proud of sean..” timpal Arland while pecking Sean's head. They hugged each other tightly.
At the door of the room, Kezia looks who is wiping tears of her share to see the proximity of Arland and Sean. Kezia had doubted whether Sean could accept Arland well or not, because however the chest of him that was previously so perfect for Sean, would not be possible to replace. But seeing Sean receive Arland well, is a happiness for Kezia.
