Undergoing Eye Surgery
Tonight, Belvina and Anggi are organizing their belongings in the hotel to make it easier to retrieve things. When it was done, the two of them rested on the bed for a while, chatting first before taking a shower and going to bed.
“Huh… I can finally sleep comfortably, Vin.” Anggi said as she lay down on the 5-star hotel’s soft mattress.
“Yes, but my body is sticky, because I haven’t showered yet.” Belvina complained while kissing her sleeve which had released an unpleasant odor.
“Yes, but my eyes can’t cooperate with me, so you go ahead and take a shower, Vin.” Anggi said while closing her eyes and also began to hug the bolster on the kingsize bed.
“Aish, okay.” While they were busy preparing themselves for the shower, the sound of a notification from their cell phones startled them both.
‘Ting’
The ringtone was so loud that it made the two girls stare at each other.
“Whose cell phone is ringing?” Anggi asked with curiosity, because she already felt that her cell phone didn’t sound like that.
“I don’t know, where’s your cell phone?” Asked Belvina back innocently without realizing that what sounded was the sound of her cellphone.
“My cell phone is still in my bag.”
“Same dong, let’s check each other so it’s not complicated.”
Both of them checked each other’s cell phones and found them in their respective bags.
“Weh, it was my cell phone that was ringing. Doctor Ricard just reminded me to come early tomorrow, around 08. 00.” Belvina tried to explain.
“Well, go tell Gifer so he knows and can wake up early.” Anggi suggested.
“Is it polite for me to go there now? What if he’s in the shower?”
“Just tell Haris, Vina.”
“Hahahha, yes too.”
“If not, you can just send a message to Gifer.”
“Gifer can’t read messages, Anggi. He can’t see.”
“Ah, yes, too. Go ahead and tell Gifer.”
“Okay, are you coming?”
“Dih, no way! I don’t want to meet that annoying Haris.”
“Hahaha, I’ll be there first.”
Belvina started to walk towards the door and opened it, walking towards Gifer and Haris’ room.
‘Knock Knock!’
‘Knock Knock!’
“Who the hell is Gif knocking on the door?”
“Ah, really? How come I didn’t hear it.”
“What are your ears clogged with? Someone clearly knocked on the door, Gifer.”
“Really? I’ll open it first, in case it’s important.”
Gifer started to open the door, revealing the posture of his lover who was standing in front of him. He frowned, because he couldn’t see, so he didn’t know who was coming, before Belvina’s voice began to ring in his ears.
“Honey, I just wanted to let you know that we will be leaving early tomorrow. The doctor suggested around 8 a. m., but we’re leaving around 7 a. m. Yes, you shouldn’t eat anything first, because surgery people shouldn’t eat anything.” Belvina tried to explain to Gifer. Gifer smiled while nodding his head understanding what the girl meant, his own lover.
“Alright dear, I’ll keep this in mind. Thank you for reminding me,” Gifer said.
“You haven’t slept yet, honey?” Gifer asked.
“No, I was just about to take a shower right now, but I got a message from the doctor to tell you. I’ll be back first honey, Anggi is waiting.”
“Alright, see you tomorrow.”
“Yeah, see you tomorrow too.”
Gifer started to close the door of the hotel room and Belvina had also darted back to her room.

The sky had begun to change its color to reddish and also the sun was beginning to poke out from the side behind the white clouds that covered it. This morning, Belvina woke up earlier than Anggi, even she had done her morning ritual and began to open the hotel curtains where the sunlight directly entered her room. Anggi, who was still asleep, was disturbed and looked in the direction of the light that began to enter, it turned out that it was her best friend who opened the curtains of her hotel room.
“Duh, Vina. Why do you have to open it all? It’s glaring, you know.” Anggi complained while rubbing her eyes that were still closed.
“Anggi, remember what we went to America for? To take Gifer for surgery. I also told you last night that the surgery is at 08. 00 and we should have been ready at the hospital around 07. 00.” Belvina explained while tidying her bag and dressing up a bit.
“Enghh, what time is it?”
“6:30.”
“Gosh it’s still a long time, Vina.”
“Who said it’s still long? It’s only 30 minutes away, and that’s fast. Let’s be disciplined and not keep Doctor Ricard waiting. I pay him a lot of money so that he can guarantee that the patient’s family won’t run away or cancel the surgery.” Belvina explained once again so that her friend could understand and quickly wake up from sleep so that she could leave earlier.
“Aishh, alright.” Anggi got up from her sleeping position and darted straight to the toilet. Belvina immediately contacted Gifer who was already getting ready.
“Honey, are you ready? I’m just waiting for Anggi, after that we’ll leave.”
“Yes, Haris and I are ready, I’ll wait in the lobby with Haris.”
“Alright.”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
Not waiting long for Gifer and Haris to be in the lobby, Belvina and Anggi immediately followed the two of them and immediately ordered an online taxi to Harapan Mulia Hospital.
“Let’s go! The car is already in front.” Invited Belvina while holding Gifer’s hand who was still holding his blind stick. Gifer smiled and nodded.
“Let’s go.”
.
Harapan Mulia Hospital this morning was very quiet, there were only a few nurses milling here and there. some were delivering food, some were following the doctor to examine patients. The four of them were confused looking for Doctor Ricard’s room until now they have found it. Only Belvina and Gifer were allowed to enter.
“So this is your boyfriend who is going to do the surgery, Belvina?”
“Yes, doctor. The patient’s family didn’t cancel, right?”
“No, they have willingly donated the eye to your boyfriend.” She just smiled and nodded in agreement.
“Oh yes, please change the patient’s clothes, we have prepared everything, just waiting for the patient’s readiness.” The doctor said.
Belvina helped Gifer to direct and put on the hospital clothes for her boyfriend. Obviously, Belvina was stunned the first time she undressed her boyfriend, because there Belvina was presented with a clearly printed tattoo with the words Nevermind clearly printed right on his ribs. Her eyes were immediately wide open. But afterwards she immediately realized and didn’t think anything except Gifer’s eye surgery.
“I’m sorry, honey. I had to change your shirt, so I had to open it.”
“Never mind, don’t think about anything, I’m fine.” Gifer said.
“So, you’ve been getting tattoos?” Belvina asked. Gifer just smiled and looked down.
“Yes, even from before my accident, I got the tattoo when I was still dating Raya, it means that I can be strong in facing Raya’s attitude who always rejects me. Even touching or holding hands Raya didn’t want to and seemed uncomfortable to be close to me, I was sad about that and finally the tattoo was created.” Gifer explained.
“Ah, I see, no problem, I like the shape of the tattoo, it’s neatly written and nice to look at.” Belvina replied with a smile, even though it couldn’t be seen by Gifer.
After finishing changing Gifer’s clothes, the doctor had arrived and was about to move Gifer to the operating room.
“Are you ready? Belvina?”
“Just a moment doctor, I want to talk to him first.” Belvina grasped the hand of her boyfriend who was lying on his sickbed.
“Cheer up dear, you can do it. Come back with me with eyes that can see, cheer up!” Belvina encouraged Gifer and the man immediately nodded his head in understanding. Instantly the atmosphere became somber and full of hope that the operation would go smoothly. Belvina’s tears instantly fell down her cheeks.
“I promise, I will come back for you dear, with eyes that can already see your beautiful face.” Gifer replied. The infused hand caressed Belvina’s cheek that was already covered in tears.
“Don’t be sad, I will definitely come back.”
“Alright, I believe you. Doctor, please.” They immediately dragged Gifer’s sickbed to the operating room. Haris and Anggi, who had been waiting outside the room, panicked when they heard the sound of wheels from the bed being dragged, so loudly.
“Vina!” Anggi called out.
“Why are you crying? Cheer up! Wish Gifer the best.” Anggi said soothingly.
“Yes, I will also pray for my best friend.” Haris said with a sad expression too.
.
“What?! How can you miss this!!! No! Gifer must never be able to see again! ARRRGGGH!”
