Sebenarnya kejadiannya udah dari minggu lalu, tapi karna ga ada waktu buat nerusin draft yg udah stengah jadi ini, kesampaian juga ketunda ampe sekarang.

Sebelumnya gue mau cerita dikit, gue di sini tinggal dengan keluarga Malay-Singaporean, keluarganya Mr. Jufry. He has 1 son and 2 daughters, the oldest one is the son, and also his wife, Mrs. Wardah, ooo, she is such a nice person, very nice indeed. *thanx for the free food Mam*

Anyway, before I go any further, this is not a funny story. I might tell somepart of it in funny way, but as a matter of fact, when it happens, no way I can laugh.

So in short, Mr. Jufry got cancer, stage 4. I remember that night when his wife told me. It was 11 something at night, but Mrs. Wardah knocked my door and said that she brought food from someone wedding party, Mutton Briyani, and it’s not good if we reject someone kindness right??? God will be mad at us. *smirk*

So there I was, sitting together with Mrs. Wardah at the kitchen…eating.

And suddenly, I kinda forget how, then she told me Mr. Jufry got cancer, stage 4. I was very surprised, I mean literally surprised. I stop eating, and I can’t even swallow my food at the time. We just sit there, doing nothing for awhile, until Mrs. Wardah continues her story. But from her calm face…….no, from her emotionless face, I can see the pain screaming through her eyes…out loud!!

But somehow, Mr. Jufry looks just fine, like a normal person. I will never know that he has cancer if Mrs. Wardah never told me that. He’s still working, still walking, still watching football, still eating durian, and hell, he’s still smoking. So I was a little bit confused at that time.

Anyway, a week before 25th April, Mrs. Wardah told me that they will have somekind ceremony, Marhaban for Mr. Jufry, more like “pengajian” to us. So they’ll invite some Majelis for praying, and after that, of course, eating…again!!

So at 24th April, the house became quite hectic. Other families were coming to help Mrs. Wardah, most of them are women. They were busy cooking. My nose is kinda hurt by the smell anyway. So mostly, at that day, I just slept in my room until 4, then went out until 9.

And when I got back, I saw Mr. Jufry kinda pale. He’s just laying on the floor, doing nothing. And he looked different. Anyhow, I went to sleep at 11 something, almost midnight. And, when I was about to sleep, I hear his youngest daughter screaming, “BAPAK JATUH, BAPAK JATUH!!”

Asli gue kaget. Gue langsung keluar kamar, walopun masih rada sempoyongan. Ternyata, anaknya teriak dari dalam kamar Mr. Jufry. Gue masuk ke dalam, dan ngeliat Mr. Jufry udah ga sadarkan diri. Tangannya mengepal, spertinya kram. Bola matanya putih total. Kakinya melipat. Dan badannya kejang-kejang.

Ga lama setelah itu, Mrs. Wardah masuk, anak-anak masuk, tante, mbak dan entah siapapun itu juga masuk ke kamar. Tiba-tiba ruangan 3x4meter itu jd penuh dengan hawa panik. “Riki, tolong Bapak!! Tolong Bapak!!”, kata Mrs. Wardah panik. Berbekal pengalaman gue nonton House MD & Grey’s Anatomy, gue coba lurusin dulu badannya, coba sanggah kepalanya, dan…..susah bgt. It is not as easy as it looks, with the pressure, oooo, the scream, we just don’t know what to do.

Suddenly, I remember to call paramedic. So I asked his son to call the hospital. The weird thing is, after he dialled the number, he gave the phone to me and with that look, the look of “Ok, now you talk to them!!”. “Ok…..he’s panic!!”, that’s all I can think about.

When  I heard “hello” from the other side, I asked for ambulance. Then she, -the operator is a she-, asked me what happened, then I told her, “I don’t know. Maybe stroke!!”. Then she asked where the address is, and somehow, I forgot where I lived. I only remember the building number, 218. I don’t know which street, which floor and which number. So I looked for his son again, and gave him his phone again. “Tell them the address!!”, I said.

Udah itu gue balik ke dalam kamar dan ngeliat Mrs. Wardah lagi megang tangan Mr. Jufry. I can see Mr. Jufry in such pain. I can see his pants getting wet. And when I think about “Maybe he’s going to die”, his mother, I don’t know from which side, is Mr. Jufry’s mom or Mrs. Wardah’s mom, told us to whisper Syahadat to Mr. Jufry.

Jadilah gue & Mrs. Wardah ngebacain Syahadat. Trus gue panggil anak-anaknya buat duduk di dekat Mr. Jufry. Just in case that this is his last time. Saat kita semua lagi pada sibuk begituan, tiba-tiba datang tetangganya. Gue ga tau siapa namanya. Tapi dia juga ngelakuin hal yg sama, dia usap-usap kepala Mr. Jufry sambil nyebut “Allah….Allah….Allah”.

He is going to die!! He is going to die!! I keep screaming it in my mind. I can see clearly his face in such pain. I can hear him speak randomly. And I can see him moving around, left and right, shaking. “Sperti inikah sakaratul maut??”, tanya gue dalam hati..it is SCARY!!!

Setelah  hampir 10 menit, paramedic datang. Mereka langsung ambil sampel darah, cek denyut jantung, trus ngobrol ama Mrs. Wardah. Waktu itu gue langsung ke kamar ganti baju. Entah kenapa juga gue ganti baju, tapi yg pasti waktu gue mikir kalo kita semua bakal ke RS dan ga mungkin gue ke RS pake baju ginian. Selese gue ganti baju, gue bareng paramedic ngegotong Mr. Jufry ke lantai 6 (kita di lantai 5), biar dia bisa dibawa turun naik lift dari lantai 6.

Setelah gue sampai ke lantai 6, gue turun lagi ke lantai 5, trus ketemu Mrs. Wardah, dan dia bilang, “Riki kamu temani Bapak ke hospital”. Ok, prediksi gue benar soal ke rumah sakit, tapi salah total kalo ttg gue yg nemanin Mr. Jufry di ambulance ke RS. Kebetulan di situ ada anaknya, gue minta ambilin HP gue, -yes my beloved iPhone-, di kamar. Setelah itu, gue langsung lari-lari turun tangga ke bawah ke mobil ambulance.

Ga lama, setelah gue sampai di bawah, rombongan paramedic + Mr. Jufry juga datang. Mereka langsung bawa Mr. Jufry masuk, trus Mrs. Wardah datang dan ngasih map + dompet + sandal Mr. Jufry. Yes, sandal!! I can’t stop thinking about it, why SANDAL?? Anyway, trus Mrs. Wardah bilang, “Disana sudah ada keluarga yg menunggu. Ini medical record + dompet Bapak. Mungkin nanti butuh. Ibu nanti dengan yg lain menyusul”.

Dan gue pun duduk di ambulance di sebelah supir menuju Changi Hospital. Sedikit bangga karna nambah 1 lagi pengalaman first time gue, naik ambulance. *nepok-nepok dada*

Di perjalanan paramedic nanyain gue ttg apa yg terjadi. Gue bilang dia jatuh & selama ini punya cancer. Trus si paramedic nanya lagi ttg penyakit cancernya. Sampe di situ, gue bingung. Pengetahuan gue ttg penyakit cancer Mr. Jufry minim abis. Pas gue bilang ga tau, paramedicnya malah bingung. “How come you don’t know??”, tanyanya.

“I don’t know. I’m just his tenant!!”, jawab gue. “You are his what??”, tanya paramedic balik. “I’m not his family. I’m just his tenant. I’m living at his house!!”, jawab gue balik. Mendengar jawaban gue, sontak mereka pada kaget. Trus cuma bisa diam. Dalam hati mungkin mereka mikir, “Lah mas, kok malah ente yg dimari, nape kaga keluargenye??”….mungkin.

Sesampainya di Changi Hospital, di sana udah ada abangnya Mr. Jufry, Mr. Abudullah. I met this guy before. So we run to emergency room together, well, only until in front of emergency room exactly. After that, the paramedic asked us to fill the registration form. Setelah 5 menit, dokternya keluar, trus bilang kalo Mr. Jufry udah sadar and he is looking for his wife. I told her that his wife is on her way. So I sent Mrs. Wardah a message, telling her that her husband is awake and looking for her.

10 menit setelahnya Mrs. Wardah datang bareng keluarga yg lain. Tiba-tiba suasana di depan pintu masuk ER jadi rame. Semua pengen tau keadaan Mr. Jufry. Trus Mrs. Wardah masuk ke dalam, 5 menit kemudian balik dan bilang ke kita, “Bapak sudah sadar. Bapak pesan apapun yg terjadi, Marhaban besok tetap harus dilanjutkan.”…. *speechless*

Akhirnya, pagi itu, jam 2, gue pulang dianterin anggota keluarga yg lain. Sesampainya di rumah, gue cuci muka, masuk kamar, kunci pintu, duduk di samping tempat tidur, trus merhatiin tangan + kaki gue yg gemetar. “What a night!!”, bisik gue dalam hati.

*Update: Mr. Jufry udah balik dari RS. Kata dokter cancer-nya mulai spreading ke otak. Mungkin bakal di laser biar ga spread lebih jauh. 3 hari setelahnya gue liat Mr. Jufry udah makan durian di dapur. Hehehe… Semoga Mr. Jufry diberi kesembuhan oleh Allah SWT, kalaupun itu terlalu muluk-muluk, setidaknya semoga dimudahkan jalannya. Amin…
