“So, how do doc?” Riana asked the doctor after the examination.
“According to the X-ray results, it looks like your father will have paralysis. He was clean hard did not want to be operated, while the electric shock was stinging his nerve point. The fall location also sits from a height far enough to sit, it makes the tailbone depressed and results to the function of his legs.” explained the doctor.
“Then, if in what operation will he recover completely like before?” Ask Riana.
“Ya, if the operation goes smoothly. Your father-in-law and his family do not agree with that so, please let me fully recover for your father” said the doctor. The man clearly knew that the woman in front of him right now was someone who was fighting for his father-in-law's recovery while the victim's own family did not care at all.
“But, he is the backbone of his family dok” Sahut Riana, do not accept the words of the doctor who impressed resigned.
“Then persuade your father-in-law to want. Because the operation will not be able to run smoothly if the patient does not have the optimization to survive”
Riana massaged her forehead, dizzy also heard it, “Alright, thanks dok”.
The doctor just nodded then left Riana alone in front of the door of the father-in-law's room.
“Dad, come. We tried the ya” operation Riana persuaded her father-in-law. The woman was hopeful that the middle-aged man before her would change her way of thinking.
“No, later after getting out of here we use alternative medicine course” said the father-in-law.
Riana gave up, she had persuaded her husband's father many times. Plus he was just struggling alone, the whole family of the father-in-law wanted the man to be taken home and undergo traditional medicine.
“Alright, Nathan will accompany you during the treatment period” Gumam Riana and then go take care of administrative costs before the return of his father-in-law.

“We are waiting for your return since yesterday-yesterday, how is your husband, mbak?” Ask one of the mothers to the mother-in-law who according to Riana is someone who is probably the most famous in their neighborhood.
“Good. He's handled well there. Come on in first, mothers” replied the mother-in-law, letting her guests into her house.
“Oh yes”
They entered one by one, looking at the father-in-law with concerned gazes. Accompanied by his mother-in-law and Nathan, they asked him one by one about the chronology of his events.
“How can it fall from such a tall tree? Even though it was harvesting corn he said?”
“Dad wanted to cut down some tree branches there, because the twigs were enough to disrupt the electrical cables hanging over our plantation, he said, afraid if there will be a rain of twigs it even broke in the direction of the garden” Sahut Nathan.
“No, surely the waiter was angry. Not permission yet? Excuse me yet?”
“Iya loh, thankfully happy”
“Continue now what's the condition? Just shut up, her father”
The babbling of mothers made Riana who never gossiped with her head. He was busy making drinks for the guests who came back and forth, where could he consciously sit and rest?
“Dad sentenced to be paralyzed because he did not want to be operated but, we will take the alternative path of traditional medicine, hopefully it can fit and heal without getting into the operating table” said mother-in-law.
Riana was only able to hear the words of the mothers while there and there serving a drink and returned to the kitchen after bringing dirty glasses from previous guests.
