Recovery and Surprise

The intensive care unit in the hospital was quiet, filled only with the steady hum of medical machines. The morning sun filtered through the window curtains, casting a soft glow that filled the room with a peaceful atmosphere. Satria lay in the hospital bed, his condition more stable, though the road to full recovery was still long.

Dr. Arif entered the room with calm steps, followed by two nurses, Rina and Dani. They checked the medical equipment and ensured that all vital signs remained within normal limits.

"Satria, we're going to start your physical therapy session today," Dr. Arif said while examining the monitor. "This is crucial to speeding up your recovery process."

Satria slowly opened his eyes, seeing Dr. Arif and the medical team. "What do I need to do?" His voice was still weak.

"We'll start with breathing exercises and light movements to help combat muscle stiffness. It won't be too strenuous, but it's vital to avoid further complications," Dr. Arif replied.

Satria nodded and followed the doctor's instructions. Rina and Dani helped move his body gently, providing support and ensuring Satria was comfortable throughout the therapy session.

Meanwhile, outside the intensive care unit, Lieutenant Colonel Rendra and Colonel Faisal stood side by side, discussing the next steps seriously. They knew how important it was to keep Satria safe and protect him from any threats that might come from Apex.

"Colonel Faisal, we need to consider strategies to enhance security around the hospital," Rendra said. "We can't ignore the potential threat, especially as Satria begins to recover."

Faisal nodded, his face serious. "We need to coordinate with the security team and ensure there are no gaps in our defense system. If Apex learns of Satria's condition, they might try to strike."

At the same time, Maya and Beni arrived at the hospital after receiving news about Satria's condition. They rushed to the intensive care unit to see Satria and offer emotional support.

"Maya, Beni! You finally made it," Satria said in a very weak voice as they entered the room.

Maya sat by Satria's bedside, her face filled with concern and empathy. "Satria, we were so worried. How are you feeling?"

Satria tried to smile. "Better. Thank you for coming."

Beni, standing next to Maya, carefully observed the surroundings. "We need to make sure you get the best care, Satria. Is there anything we can help with?"

Satria nodded. "I need time to recover. Maybe we can discuss the next steps later."

Dr. Arif approached them. "If you'd like to talk further, we can provide a private room outside this one. Satria needs time to rest."

Maya and Beni followed Dr. Arif to the hospital's waiting room. They spoke seriously about Satria's condition and the steps that needed to be taken to protect him.

"How's the progress on the last mission?" Maya asked, trying to gather more information.

Beni nodded. "We need to ensure that all data and documents that might be needed are available. We don't know when the next threat will come."

Maya pulled out her laptop from her bag and began checking the data they had gathered. "We need to delve deeper into the information we have about Apex. There's a possibility they've been monitoring our movements."

Meanwhile, Satria decided to talk to Dr. Arif about his feelings and what he planned to do after recovery.

"Doctor, after I recover, what steps do I need to take to ensure I'm ready to fight again?" Satria asked.

Dr. Arif smiled gently. "We'll provide a recovery plan and physical therapy tailored to your needs. We'll also ensure that you receive the necessary psychological support."

Satria nodded. "Thank you, doctor."

A few days later, Satria's recovery began to show positive results. Maya and Beni continued to accompany him, assisting in the recovery process and ensuring that Satria remained motivated. They also coordinated with the military team and doctors to make sure all preparations were done properly.

One evening, after an exhausting therapy session, Maya and Beni invited Satria to talk in the hospital waiting room.

"We've made plans to go out for a bit. There's a new café we want to try," Beni said, trying to cheer Satria up. "We can take a break and enjoy some time together."

Satria, though feeling tired, smiled. "That sounds good. I need some time to clear my mind."

Maya and Beni helped him move to a wheelchair, and they all left the hospital to the café Beni mentioned. The atmosphere in the café was very different from the hospital, with soft music and warm lighting. They sat in a quiet corner, talking about various things to distract Satria from the difficulties he had faced.

Maya ordered drinks for the three of them, while Beni chatted cheerfully about various happenings outside. Satria felt a little better in their company. This moment, though simple, gave him a chance to remember the importance of friends' support and how they all relied on each other.

As the night wore on, they realized they needed to return to the hospital. However, as they headed back, Satria felt more prepared to face the next challenge. The support from Maya and Beni gave him new energy and determination to continue the long journey toward full recovery and preparation for the next mission.
