DRAGON CARVED JADE BRACELET
Chapter 47: ENDLESS SUFFERING

    The doctors at the Regional Hospital had a hand. They were unable to deal with the illness suffered by Ms. Jun. Various kinds of drugs have been given. It has been a week since Ms Jun was admitted to hospital, but there has been no development at all. Even Ms. Jun's body was shrinking even more. The smaller and of course the weight decreases. The infusion liquid that was put into Ms Jun's body had already finished the bottles, but it seemed as if there was no meaningful reaction. If Babah Ho asks about what the disease is, doctors can't yet say what kind of disease it is. He said it was a strange disease. I don't know what exactly Ms. Jun suffered.

    Finally, the doctors decided to refer Cik Jun to the Central Hospital in Semarang. Of course to get a more thorough examination of the pain he suffered. In addition to more skilled doctors, medical equipment is also more numerous and modern. Of course, the hope will facilitate the discovery of the disease suffered by the patient, and get the drugs needed.

    Babah Ho is increasingly confused, because surely thinking about the fate of his wife who must be treated in Semarang. Too far away from home, and that will certainly cost a lot for the treatment. With various considerations, especially for the health of the wife, Babah Ho finally resigned to the decision of the doctors. He follows what is best. At least trying to cure his wife.

    That afternoon, the ambulance of Rembang Hospital roared to hear his siren. Fast driving on the highway. The ambulance carrying sick people, Ms Jun who was lying in bed will be taken to the central hospital in Semarang. Babah Ho was in the ambulance, sitting with his instrument. His hand held the body of his wife tied to the bed. Of course the condition is very sad. It was seen from the eyes of Babah Ho who continued to shed tears, a sign of crying.

    "Don't be sad, Kong .." said the ambulance driver, trying to comfort Babah Ho, although he remained concentrated in driving at high speed. Ordinary, the so-called ambulance must be fast. Especially if you bring sick people. Once the siren is sounded, then the cars in front of him immediately move aside.

    "Haiyah .... Olang istli owe pain, ha ..., surely owe sad, ha .... Hu .., hu ..." replied Babah Ho who also heard her crying voice.

    "The pain, what the hell, Kong ...?" ask the driver who wants to know.

    "Haiyah .... Owe don't know, ha .... Istli owe sick make confused, ha ..., doctelnya do not know, doctelnya confused, ha .... Hu .., huk ..." replied Babah Ho who certainly further increased the volume of his crying voice.

    "Ooo .... The doctor did not know .... Well, what disease is that?" said the driver.

    "Haiyah .... Owe don't know, ha .... Don't be transparent, ha .... Hu .., hu ..." replied the irritated Babah Ho questioned by the driver.

    "Yes, Kong .... Hopefully this later in the central hospital, his wife gets the medicine, Kong .." said the driver wanted to calm his passengers.

    "Haiyah .... Hopefully it can be healthy again, ha .." replied Babah Ho who began to subside his crying.

    The driver was not worried anymore. He understood that the family of the patient who is serious, must be very worried about his safety. Therefore, if you talk, the driver must take care of the feelings of his family.

    "I used to take patients, also deliver to the center, it's been a long time in the hospital area does not heal, until the center directly handled also quickly healed, really ...." said the ambulance driver, who wanted to encourage Babah Ho.

    Babah Ho was silent. Not answering. Not responding. He is sad. He's confused. It's been a week waiting for his wife in the hospital. Sleep must be less because it can only sleep on the floor with a mat. Of course, the health of Babah Ho also began to decrease. Especially in terms of age, Babah Ho is already sixty-five years old. The condition also makes him more tired and less fit.

    Understandably, no relatives or relatives of the close family of Babah Ho live in Lasem. Although his grandparents all came from Lasem, but his descendants spread to distant places. Even if there are people of descent who are close to him or Ms. Jun, it is only because of the brotherhood of fellow people of Chinese descent. But for the clan or blood relatives, Babah Ho has no family in Lasem.

    However, when Cik Jun was referred to be taken to the central hospital, Babah Ho had contacted his brothers who lived in Semarang. At least later, his brothers who were near the hospital would be able to help. At least if there's anything it'll be easier to ask for help. Babah Ho was already feeling somewhat relieved.

    Because he felt that his speech was not touched by Babah Ho, the only passenger who could be invited to communicate, the ambulance driver no longer tried to entertain or talk to his passengers. It immediately stamped the gas. The sirens were deafening as proof that the ambulance was speeding. Of course, the vehicle in front of him immediately got out of the way.

    Maybe because it was cool, or because it was irritated that the passenger was spoken to did not reply, or maybe also because of fatigue, the ambulance driver was driving his car began to be uncontrolled. The most visible if the driver started to worry is the speed of the ambulance that is not measured. The ambulance was too fast. And apparently the driver continued to step on the gas pedal until it hit. Even still want to feel to increase the length of the gas pedal so that it can be firmer again.

    It is very good if you drive a car that is free to drive, because you get speeding facilities without being hindered by other cars. Moreover, the Rembang - Demak pantura highway is a flat and straight road, must be very good for speeding. And without hesitation, the driver who got the facilities running fast was immediately forward his vehicle as fast as possible.

    However, such circumstances actually make the driver off guard. He is less alert to cars driving from the front. When he overtakes several cars, of course the steering wheel is somewhat headed to the right. All of a sudden, the driver slammed the steering wheel a bit hard, which resulted in him hitting the side of the road on the right. Simultaneously, a large truck with a heavy load coming from the opposite direction was targeted to be hit.

    "Twuaaar ....!!!" the sound of two cars colliding was heard.

    Although the driver had slammed the steering wheel to the left, trying to avoid a collision, but the ambulance that drove and hit the truck turned to the left. As a result, the ambulance drove off the track to the left of the road, and into the river south of the road.

    "Byuuuur ..." The ambulance splashed into the river.

    "There was an accident ...!!! There was an accident ...!!!" people screamed at the event.

    A large heavy-duty truck from the west pulled over and stopped. The driver and his kernet went down. Who must have seen the condition of his truck that was hit by an ambulance. But not so bad. Just the front wall is a little dented. Understandably, the body of the large truck was all made of strong and sturdy iron. Surely when he got a collision from an ambulance car made only of thin plates, it was precisely the one that hit the crumpled one.

    Relief for drivers and truck kernets. The car wasn't heavily damaged. At most later it is taken to the welder to be fixed. Does not incur large costs. But the problem, which hit was an ambulance. Usually the police who handle accident cases like this like to look for mistakes. Of course, ask for money. Logically, though, the truck was already running on the right track, even on the left bank lane. The driver is also unlikely to drive the truck at high speed, due to heavy loads. However, the one that hit it was an ambulance that in general should be given priority to pass. But since when is there an ambulance rule that is free to drive the vehicle at will, regardless of the impact and safety of other road users?

    Surely the truck driver will be sanctioned. At least it's wrong to cause another vehicle accident.

    "There was a collision ...!!"

    "There was an accident ...!!"

    "The moon is entering the river ...!!!"

    "Waduh ...?! How is the person ...?!"

    In an instant, people immediately crowded around, watching the accident. Especially those on the river. They wanted to know the fate of the person in the ambulance who had entered the river.

    Some men have gone down, into the river. It must be to help the passengers. At least want to know the person in the ambulance. Someone opened the back door. There was also one who opened the front door. The door is difficult to open, because it is still detailed automatically. Then there are those who directly take the stone on the side of the road, to break the car glass so they can pull the door lock lever.

    "How ...?!" ask those who are on the ground, by the river.

    "Prook .... Pyar ...!!!"

    The ambulance door glass on the left side of the ambulance was hit with a stone. Of course, the front door can be opened on the left, because the right side is tilted and sinks in the water.

    "The driver died ...!" yelled who had managed to open the front door.

    "Honed ...!"

    "The back door was opened .... This is the key lever I've pulled ...!" yells who got into that car.

    "Read ...!!"

    Then the people who are in the back, immediately pull the door handle. Directly open.

    "Wadm .... There was a patient and one passenger ...!" shouted those who had already managed to open.

    "Ejected ...!" the word on the river bank.

    Finally, two young men entered. Then he grabbed the old man lying there, Babah Ho. Can be lifted, then removed from the car.

    "Please help .... This is a victim, can be lifted ...!" yelled from inside the ambulance.

    "Wrand ...!! We help lift ...!" some people who were outside immediately received the body of the old man who was unable to move anymore. Then the body of the victim, Babah Ho, was immediately put on the side of the road with a newspaper covered.

    "That in the bed of the sick is hard to take .... It's locked in ...!" yelled in the ambulance.

    "Just the man ...!" yell that outside.

    "Can't, the guy's bound ...!" the sahut inside.

    "Its cropped. This is a scythe .... Just cut it with a scythe."

    A young man carrying a sickle entered the ambulance. Then cut the belt rope made of material such as rubber, a kind of seat belt rope. Then the rope is cut off the base that is in the bed.

    "Awas .., the patient was held ..." said the young man who cut the belt.

    The other two people immediately grabbed hold and lifted out. Fairly light. Women small and skinny bodies. She is Miss Jun, Babah Ho's wife. The woman was also put on the side of the road.

    "Nguying .. mguk .... Tot ..., tot ..." the police came.

    "How ...?" ask the police officer who got out of the pick-up car.

    "That's the victim that's been raised, sir .... It looks like the patient and his family ..." said the residents who had helped.

    "The others ..., is there?!" ask the police officer again.

    "The driver can't be taken yet, sir .... This car must be enforced first to lift the driver ..." replied who was trying to help the driver.

    "Then it was pushed together ..." said the policeman gave the order.

    "Let's push ...!!! We'll pick up together ...!!!" shouting people.

    "Simelaap ...!! One ...!! Two ...!! Three ...!!! Push ....!!!" the residents who helped, immediately encouraged to enforce the body of the ambulance car.

    "Hold ... hold ..., hold .... We want to get the driver out ...!" someone who tried to open the driver's door.

    And ..., "Byuuur ..." water came out of the opened door.

    "Please the driver be lifted ...!" yells that open the door.

    Some people immediately anchored the body of the driver who was wet with blood. Then the driver's body was immediately lifted to the edge of the river.

    "Go get in the police car all ...!" police officers said that the victims were immediately raised to the officer's car to be rushed to the hospital.

    Three helpless ambulance passengers were rushed to the regional hospital in Demak. Of course to get treatment.

    How's Babah Ho doing? What about his wife? What about the ambulance driver who was speeding? Are they all safe?
