《 FACE BEHIND VEIL 》

THE TEST AT THE BEGINNING OF HAPPINESS PART4

When night fell and Alinka had changed clothes with her surgical clothes all drove Alinka to the front of the operating room.

 

Grasping Faiz's hand tightly, Alinka did not want to enter the operating room alone, she asked the doctor so that her husband could accompany her there.

 

“Dok, I am afraid to enter the operating room alone, may my husband accompany me throughout the operation so that my feelings can also be calm.” Pinta Alinka to the doctor when she was about to enter the operating room.

 

The doctor also agreed to his request because for the continuity of the operation process.

 

All the family members kissed Alinka's forehead first as an encouragement for her.

 

“You can definitely son, you are a great woman, strong, you can definitely go through this operation smoothly.” Ummi's words strengthen.

 

“Come on, I pray for your safety, hopefully you can get well soon.” Said her real mother.

 

“Great daughter abi, abi pride, go son, beat all your pain and come back healthy.” Abi Hasan.

 

“My daughter, abi heart jewel, there is no more dear daughter but you son, go pick up the health for yourself, for your future with your future husband, Iz abi tipped Alinka to you, you must be strong yes accompany Alinka in there.” Sahut abi Fakhri's.

 

“Good InsyaAllah abi.” Faiz answered with great constancy.

 

They entered the operating room and other family members were waiting for him outside.

 

At that time Shema was on permission to go home first because there was a sudden job for her so only she did not accompany Alinka during the operation.

 

After the operation went on for 8 hours, Faiz faithfully accompanied Alinka in the operating room while giving her strength and spirit.

 

“A, do not loose in Alin's hand grip during operation yes, because Alin is too afraid.” Alinka said while tightly grasping Faiz's hand.

 

“Yes dear, Aa promise will not be released in your hands, you are calm yes sure God is always with us.” Faiz answered while stroking Alinka's head gently.

 

After the doctor injected him with drugs, Alinka fell asleep slowly and at that time Faiz honestly felt anxious but he tried to force himself to believe that this was all he could go through.

 

During the operation Faiz never stopped stroking Alinka's head while holding a prayer beads in his right hand to pray for the smooth operation of Alinka.

 

It was not strong when Faiz knew the body of a person he loved was said by a sharp object but he tried sincerely because it was for the sake of Alinka's own recovery.

 

8 Hours passed with the operation running smoothly, Faiz was relieved when Alinka was able to be moved to the hospital room and meet his family waiting out there.

 

“Where is the operation?” ask Alinka's birth mother also ummi Fatimah.

 

“Alhamdulillah Bu, Ummi, the operation is running smoothly.” Faiz replied with a sigh.

 

“Gratitude Thank you so, we are all relieved to hear it.” Abi Hasan and Abi Fakhry.

 

Seeing Alinka brought by the nurses mother and ummi also stopped him for a moment to see the state of his favorite daughter.

 

“Shut up, mom just wants to stroke mom's face while kissing her.” Alinka's birth mother said she stopped the nurses.

 

“Strong child, patient child, daughter of the mother-in-law of the mother world, you can definitely get through this past², recover yes dear.” Said Alinka's birth mother while stroking Alinka's face that looks still pale and the mother kissed her forehead and Alinka was immediately brought back by the nurses to the hospital room.

 

After all the tools installed in Alinka's body then the doctor checked the stability of his condition and the doctor could give good news to all members of his family.

 

“For family mistress Alinka!” said the doctor.

 

“Iya we doc!” answer abi Hasan, Abi Fakhry, ummi, and also Faiz's mother.

 

“Alhamdulillah, now that Alinka is in good condition, we are just waiting for him to wake up.” Doctor's talk.

 

“Alhamdulillah thank you doc!” answer all.

 

“Iya equally.” The doctor said, then he left the Alinka family.

 

Faiz could only look at him from a distance, hopefully his beloved wife will soon wake up and recover as before.

 

“Already Iz, everything will be fine.” Fakhry said as he patted Faiz's shoulder.

 

The days passed so quickly, that it did not feel a week after the operation Alinka was unconscious and woke up from his long dream.

 

“Dok, how has this been a week after the operation but my wife did not wake up?” faiz's complaint to the doctor.

 

“Tenang first mas Faiz, I was also surprised usually 3 days after the operation even the patient was able to wake up but this..” the words of the doctor was cut off as if something was stuck.

 

“Please doc, however, try to make my wife recover.” Please Faiz to the doctor.

 

“Mas, in fact we only strive and the one who heals is Allah swt. as the almighty healer.” Answer the doctor.

 

“Then my wife...???” ask Faiz.

 

“Pray may there be a miracle for the patient.” Answer Doctor.

 

Faiz also seemed to feel dissatisfied with the doctor's answer at that time and he also felt frustrated and down.

 

“Please your heart iz, leave everything to the creator ikhlaskan you undergo this ordeal.” Fakhry's abi as Faiz's father and role model since childhood.

 

Faiz could only be seen slightly dripping his tears in Abi Fakhry's arms.

 

“You are strong, a priest and family leader must always look strong and strong even though deep down he feels tired and wants to give up.” Abi Fakhry's.

 

“She is the person Faiz has always loved in silence bi, then Faiz must be willing if one day Faiz has to take it off, Faiz has not been able to over all that bi, Faiz is still fond of Alinka.” Faiz said with tears in his eyes.

 

A week went by so quickly that Shema had just returned from her place of origin to keep Alinka in the hospital.

 

“Sorry Iz I'm late yes nemenin Alin operation, can already be seen my best friend iz?” sahut and Shema asked Faiz when she reached the hospital.

 

“It has been a week Alin has not been conscious as well,” Faiz replied while looking so sad.

 

“Why, does the operation not run smoothly?” ask Shema curiously.

 

“Operation went well, but I don't know either, I don't know what God's plan is for me and my wife.” Faiz replied looking very frustrating.

 

“Sabar, Alin can definitely skip his coma period I'm sure it's.” Said Shema while strengthening Faiz who looked very bad.

 

 

In the morning before, suddenly Alinka's condition decreased and the doctor immediately handled it.

 

“Her heart rate is weakened therefore Alinka should now be assisted with medical devices that are complete enough so as not to make things worse, now the patient is in a coma.” Doctor told Faiz.

 

How devastated Faiz was when he heard that statement.

 

Then Faiz asked for permission from the doctor to be able to visit his wife at least to give him the spirit of life to survive until his condition improved again.

 

And the doctor also allows the origin does not disturb the patient.

 

“Darling, my wife, the angel of my heaven world, Aa is sure you can survive, you love Aa right, you have to promise to accompany Aa until you want to separate, Aa, Aa will be sincere if Aa's efforts and efforts are maxed out for you, InsyaAllah Aa will sincerely let go of you, but Aa asks for this time, you can survive just for Aa.” Faiz said so softly as he stroked Alinka's weak head helplessly.

 

“I love you deck, Aa please be aware and heal.” Faiz was powerless and shed his tears.

 

Shema came over and patted Faiz on the shoulder.

 

“Sabar Kak, brother do not even look destroyed in front of Alin, because the power of brother is the power of Alin also kak.” Sahut Shema's.

 

Faiz was only bowed while occasionally wiping his cheek-drenched tears.

 

“You accompany Alin first, sister permission to exit briefly.” Faiz says while leaving Alinka to Shema.

 

Shema nodded her head and kept Alinka all day.

 

After leaving Alinka to Shema, Faiz went somewhere to calm his heart and mind.

 

He lingered in that place because the atmosphere was so quiet that it calmed the heart.

 

After a few months, though, it, Faiz was acting as usual because his leave has been exhausted so inevitably he had to leave Alinka for a while when he worked then after he worked then Faiz could accompany Alinka all time.

 

Alinka and Faiz's parents even rented a house because so long they had to wait for Alinka realized until it took months but Alinka had not been aware.

 

Faiz's household life was running normally and felt empty because there was no figure of Alinka all the time he did activities.

 

Only his beauty could still be seen without being able to see the carefree and cheerful Alinka even his sweet smile that Faiz longs for the figure of Alinka.

 

“Dek, Aa misses your smile, Aa kangen jokes your laugh, Aa also misses seeing the carefree attitude you go through the days, now Aa is just alone living the day without you, Aa, come on Aa's wake deck misses.” Faiz said every night as he looked after Alinka in the ICU

 

“You are patient, brother, even though 2 months have passed and Alinka's condition is still the same as this but you do not give up to encourage him.” Sahut Shema's.

 

“Entah lah, it feels like I have given up so much.” Faiz replied while bowing.

 

“You don't say that, I'm sure my best friend will get well again you should be able to survive for her.” Sahut Shema snapped a little.

 

“Iz try to imagine, Alin really need your figure of encouragement for him and maybe what makes him survive until now is you the reason but you, do you want to reply otherwise you will surrender? It is precisely here that the point of your struggle Iz you should be able to strengthen each other even though Alinka just lay weak and helpless but her heart and feelings are still alive, he could feel what was going on around him because of what Iz was? Because the heart is more sensitive than other body instincts.” Shema clearly asserted.

 

Faiz was silent and bowed not a bit Faiz replied to the words that Shema had explained.

 

“Iz you have to promise for my best friend, you will survive right? You strong iz you are capable I am sure of it.” Desperate Shema.

 

Faiz immediately avoided Shema and returned to the apartment where she lived.

 

“I'm worried, Faiz and Alin's relationship will be destroyed because of Alin's condition like this.” Shema muttered inwardly as she looked at Faiz who had gone by from before her.

 

“Lin, you are calm yes, even though Faiz is starting to change I will always be next to you forever.” Shema whispers to Alinka with tears.

 

The next day, as usual before leaving for work Faiz visited Alin first.

 

“I go to work first yes dear.” Said Faiz while peeping his forehead.

 

“Ummi, Faiz tipped Alin today yes, because Faiz will not have time to go home Faiz schedule today solid.” Sahut Faiz entrusts Alinka to Ummi Fatimah.

 

“Loh kok tumben son, usually as busy as you are, you can still give free time to Alinka.” Ask ummi.

 

Faiz did not answer even the slightest question from the ummi as if he avoided it.

 

“Faiz, Faiz, what's wrong? Please talk first with ummi son!” sahut Ummi while chasing Faiz who soon passed from the hospital.

 

“Ummi, ummi, sorry not to be chased again Faiz, indeed at this time Faiz needs his own time to calm his heart and mind.” Shema.

 

“What's this kid, what's up?” tanya ummi while feeling confused

 

Shema just clasped ummi's hand while looking at her two eyeballs.

 

“Why ummi what is this neng kok ummi look anxious.” Ask Alinka's birth mother when she just got to the hospital.

 

“Emh... there is nothing Kok Bu, ummi Just a flickering yes mi?” sahut Shema in ummi tried to cover up what was going on.

 

“Oh... yes already so let's have breakfast, I happen to have brought in a dish for lunch today.” Say Alinka's birth mother while preparing all the food she has brought.

 

After that, they ate breakfast together.

 

“Faiz has left for work ummi?” ask Alinka's mother

 

“Iya Ma'am, Faiz said to Alinka before she left for work.” Answer ummi Fatimah.

 

“Thank God, how patient Faiz can wait for my daughter all this time.” Answer Alinka's mother.

 

Shema and Ummi also seemed to contemplate because mother did not know what was happening to Faiz at this time.

 

“Hopefully could forever Faiz could keep his loyalty to Alinka.” Maternal

 

“Aamiin.” Answer ummi and Shema.
