"Good morning, ma'am." The two nurses who had just entered Eril's room were being treated, leaving Aletha riveted.

"Hmmm, morning sus. What's up, sus?"

"Where is Eril today, ma'am?" ask the nurse seriously. The other nurse checked the infusion attached to Eril's hand.

"It's the same, sus. One night alone he had seizures eight times. Me, I'm afraid sister. I don't know how else to do it. All drugs are prescribed according to the doctor's recommendation."

"Look, mom. Because the mother's child is still no change, what if we refer to the ICU room? There will be a nurse who can standby to check his condition. You don't have to run around calling the sisters anymore because there are some sisters who are always ready when the patient needs help."

"What's? ICU, sus?" Hearing that word made Aletha's heart beat fast. He never set foot in an ICU.

"Yes, mom. There Eril will be more focused, ma'am. Because usually those who enter the ICU need more help than those in the inpatient room. And his patients may get better soon too." Take the nurse.

"This is the fourth day Eril was treated here, but nothing has changed. We gave all the medicine. Maybe with him being treated in the ICU later his condition will improve."

"What do you think, mother? Are you willing to move your child to the ICU?" ask the nurse after explaining at length about the ICU room.

"I, I. I think about it, sister." Aletha answered confusedly. Don't know what to answer. Because for him the ICU room is one of the most creepy rooms after the mortuary. That's in his view. Because he heard rumors so far that in the ICU room there were also many patients who eventually died because they were not strong.

"When you agree, I will make a letter of his transfer to the ICU. Dr. Edi is also a doctor Ariel already know kok bu. Even they are the ones who give advice. Excuse me, Mom." The nurse left without looking.

He knew very well that someone would be difficult to accept if family members had to enter the ICU room. Same with Aletha. He strongly disapproves of Eril entering the ICU room.

"Well, if you're not ready, it's okay. I hope you make the best decision later. I'll say yes, Mom."

"I-iya sisters. Thank you for taking good care of our daughter. May you be a reward and a good partner to those who have not yet found it."

The nurse left the room without looking back after saying goodbye to them.

"Oh yeah, ma'am about the ICU room I'd better be fine."

"M-have-been?" Amanda wonder. A middle-aged woman from the next room came over to Aletha.

"I told you a little, listen!" her door. He pulled the chair beside the bed and sat on it. "A few weeks ago my son was admitted to the ICU. At first I was scared just like you. But after a very long consideration I finally agreed to their suggestion."

"And right, there are nurses who are always on standby to handle patients. Although I always bothered him with all my whining, but they served my son patiently. My son was on the verge of death." The woman stopped talking.

"What sick mother's son?" Aletha began to dare to ask.

"My son was in an accident, mom and coma. I was devastated at that time. But with the service and the medicine they gave my son finally came to his senses. I was so happy then. And one more thing, I have to pray. Because it is useless for us to try but not accompanied by prayer. For the one who has life is God Almighty."

"It's not scary there, ma'am. Not what I'm talking about." He stared at Aletha. Memories that it made his eyes sparkle. He did not think that his son survived.

"So, tonight I'll take their offer. If it's too crowded here, so they can't focus only on the mother's child. And regarding seizures, I think it's already very dangerous if left without special treatment."

"From some people I hear, when a child twitches it means that some nerves are broken. While from the mother's story in a day he wanted to surprise even more than ten times. Just imagine, how much will his nerves be cut off? Would you let that happen?"

Deg.

It was as if Aletha's heart had listened to every word that the woman had spoken. And almost all of it is true. Because he used to hear from people. Of course he did not want Eril to experience it.

Finally the woman left Aletha who was sculpting. Luckily, a nurse came by. "Suster," Aletha said to the nurse.

"Yes, mom. Hows it? Did you decide?" ask the nurse directly.

"Already, sus. And.. I agree."

"Alright mom. I'll make a report and check into the room so that your child is immediately sent to the ICU."

"Why was he taken to the ICU, sus?" suddenly Billson asked. He had just arrived while carrying a bag in his hand.

"She asked mom, yeah. I have to go to the operating room, because there is a child who will be operated on. I want to call the doctor, "the nurse said suddenly and hastily. Quickly leave them.

After the nurse died, Bilson offered her the food she had just brought. But Aletha refused because she had eaten. And Bilson also offered to take a break for a while, let me take care. That was Bilson's remark, rejected by Aletha.

All he thought about now was Eril his son. How many days have I barely slept. Because always awake if Eril seizures.

"But if you don't rest, you're sick too. Who will take care of him, give him encouragement until you get sick. Trust me, I'll take good care of her."

"But...."

"That's it, there's no word but. Now rest, just leave it to me. Bilson grabbed the plastic bottle on the table and went out and came back with the bottle filled with water.

"Drink first. Don't let you lack fluids" he said as he thrust the bottle at Aletha and picked up the glass she had just brought.

Admittedly it has been a few days now can be said Aletha is less drinking. He was forced to accept it and immediately poured it into the glass and then sip it to the end.

"Thank you" he said briefly.

Bilson took the glass and bottle out of his hand and put it back on the table. After that he spread out the mat he brought from the house on the floor. Then she beckoned Aletha to sleep.

It turned out that the other mothers had fallen asleep, now it was their husbands' turn to watch. Aletha also sleep mememout his dreams-about the recovery of his son.
