The Regret of the Wife

The Regret of the Wife
Mr. Mamat Died


Tiiittt....Tiiitt...


The sound of heart rate monitors indicates a decrease in the efficiency of heart function. Heart rhythm changes for a long time. The doctor who was on guard in the ICU that morning ran from his seat towards the gurney that was bedded by Mr. Mamat in a great hurry then immediately checked the pulse on Mr. Mamat's right arm. His right hand grabbed a flat object like a pen and pointed it at Mr. Mamat's eyes in turn. I don't know what happened but at that time, the doctor looked very panicked and immediately called the sisters to immediately take the Ventilator to be worn to the patient.


His efforts to provide oxygen coverage to patients were unsuccessful, making Andi's doctor take another action by pumping the patient's chest slowly hoping that the patient's lungs are able to receive oxygen intake properly. However, the heart rate monitor again shows the patient's heart rhythm is getting worse and the sound is increasingly noisy indicating the patient is already in a state of alert one.


Andi's doctor ordered one of his assistants to get a defibrillator (Heart shock device) as soon as possible. He continues to pace the patient's heart with the device, until repeatedly. However, it is very unfortunate after all the efforts made by the patient were not saved. At exactly 06.10 am on December 2, 2017 the patient was finally declared dead.


The entire incident that morning, was clearly witnessed by Lia how the father breathed his last. She was so shocked and traumatized especially when she was pregnant and suddenly her head was dizzy. His body lost balance and fortunately at that time he was accompanied by Agus so that he could standby he could support his wife's body well. As a result, Lia did not fall.


"Lia...."


Exactly the voice of Mr. Mamat was calling Lia. Instantly when her name was called by Mamah Ade, Lia woke up and realized that she had fainted. He asked Mamah Ade what about her father.


"Father where is Mah?" asked Lia who was still recovering her consciousness.


Mamah Ade was confused as to what to answer while she was afraid that Lia could faint again. Because, this bad news can affect the content. He is also afraid that the contents of Lia experience a sudden contraction and it is dangerous for the safety of Lia and also the baby. However, this news must still be conveyed because after all this news cannot be hidden from him. Because Lia is his daughter. It was a dilemma for Mamah Ade. As his brother-in-law, he knew very well what it was like to lose someone he loved especially it was his parents.


"Lia." Call Mamah Ade slowly while approaching and rubbing Lia's crown.


"Yes Mah, what about you?" asked Lia again.


"You'll answer Lia's question. But Lia's promise must be strong and steadfast. Before that, Lia follow Mamah's words." Said Mamah Ade.


Bak was struck by lightning, after hearing the news did not feel tears flowing very rapidly from his eyelids. Mamah Ade embraced Lia's shoulder and hugged her. Agus also gave his wife a boost. He held his hand tightly.


"Well, where is dad now? Lia wants to see father." Said Lia while sobbing.


"The father's still in the ICU." Answer Mamah Ade.


"Well, Lia's anterine is there." Lia Pinta.


"But, Lia's promise is strong and can't cry anymore. Kasian is like a father if Lia cries constantly." Pinta Mamah Ade.


Lia nodded her head.


Mamah Ade drove Lia to the ICU room accompanied by Agus. Mamah Ade gave an explanation to Agus to always accompany his wife.


Besides the body of Mr. Mamat, Ms. Sulastri was incessantly crying and continued to curse her why it had to be the father who died first. What often hurts is himself. "Why not the first mother, sir?."Ask Bu Sulastri to Mr. Mamat who has become a corpse.


Lia approached the gurney still occupied by her father. He touched his father's cold hand. His body temperature already resembled the coldness of ice. So cold and stiff. Lia rubbed her father's head gently. And whispered something into his father's ear. Although he realized that his father could not hear what he said but at least he wanted to convey something to his father.


"Sir, forgive Lia who has not been able to make your father happy. Lia knows this may be the best path for you. And Lia knew that God loved her father so much. God willing, Lia sincere sir. God willing, you get the best place there with God. Lia knows you are a good person and the best place for you is there. Once again, Lia apologized for not being able to serve the father. Until now also Lia is still troublesome father. Forgive your daughter, sir." Reveal Lia and embrace Pak Mamat's body and kiss Mr. Mamat's forehead one last time.
