A Decision

A Decision
I Must Be Strong



Seven months later...


Seven months after my divorce with Abim. My problem doesn't stop there. The temptation just kept coming toward me alternately.


Not to mention my opposition to the former in-laws who didn't allow me to work.


Akhh. I think my head is about to break! If you think about it all! But I enjoy it all.


They don't know how I feel! The needs of my life and those of the children, keep going.


While Abim sent money not as much as before, even erratic every month!


Who should I stand with my hands? If it continues like this? There is no way that I would have to ask Abim or the former in-laws for the cost of my life and the children!


Nah! I need to be able to support both my son and myself. As long as I'm healthy and strong to work! I will work in search of halal sustenance.


That's why I keep looking for work! And finally I got a job in the local administration. That's all with the help of Arif who has an employee acquaintance at the meeting!


I left home at seven in the morning and came home at two in the afternoon. Only fifteen minutes of travel. While the children I put a while on Atika, my mother!

Arif told me, to try to apply for PNS if there is acceptance of CPNS later. He said, who knows if there is a solution. So there's a future for me!


I am thankful that there are families who support me every step of the way!

At home...


11.00 WIB hours


Today is Saturday, I have a day off from work! I'm relaxing at home, homework is done! Sitting in front of the shop while waiting for the buyer.


When you sit back at home! Sisil invited me to go for a walk. It had been a long time since not going for a walk together to comfort them!


"Bun, let's go for a walk!" Pinta Sisil with her potent tone!


I replied and stood near Sisil while saying. "Where are you going?"


Sisil pouted the tip of his lips. Then in a voice like a child asking for something, he said. "Bored bun at home! Go bun!"


Suddenly my phone rang. I saw that call. It was from Abim! I said slowly.


"Don't pick up bun! Let's just go, let's go bun!"


Sisil pulled my hand and walked into the house. He didn't allow me one bit to lift the call.


How upset and angry Sisil was at his father! How not? Sisil was already a teenager, so he understood what I was going through.


.


.


I let go of Sisil's hand that pulled my hand! Trying to explain to him meekly!


"Sil, what did father do to mother! It's the same father's business! And that's just the past, everyone's ever been wrong! Especially Dad! So just pray Dad can be better with you two! Daddy mommy can split up! But your relationship with Dad, it's still there! Father and son relationship!"


The look on Sisil's face was very upset, he was grieving not to accept! Then go and say, "I hate you!" Then he slammed the door of his room!


I left Sisil alone in his room! It's also free if I approach Sisil who is angry! He will not hear my words!


Walk closer to the room! From behind the door, I heard the sound of Sisil crying! Then stay away from her room!


Should I call back! There is something important to say! Buty? I muttered alone while pacing around in the room!


Akhhh!

The Mall...


I finally took her away, my two children. I saw a happy look on Sisil's face. His anger was instantly dissipated when I took him for a walk! As for Aisyah, she jumped here and there unable to remain silent! That's how he expresses his joy!


I invite them to play in time Zone which is in the mall!


I spent a hundred and fifty dollars to buy a game refill voucher.


After that, I let them enjoy the game! I just follow and watch them!


****


After getting tired of playing, there was the sound of singing from within the stomachs of the two of them!


I smiled when I heard it, and then I invited the two of them to eat!


.


.


I run my bike back home!

Three days later..


Cantor...


Everything goes by as usual, nothing is different! But that day, when I was working!


I got a call from Atika's mom! Mama said, "Assalamualaikum! Manda, Ayesha is sick!"


"Girlwindsalam! Ma, please give me some heat-lowering medicine! Later on, call Sisil to deliver to mama's house!" Answer me. I'm here but my mind starts to drift away home! Think of little Aisyah who is sick!


My mom said back! "Given the medicine! If it doesn't get hot down, too! You brought Aisha to medicine!"


"Yes, mom! I'll be home soon! Please take care of Aisyah for me!"


I can't bear to leave Aisha with a fever! For the first time ever, I was not by his side!


"Surely, mama take care of Aisyah! You don't have to worry! Yes it was before! Assalamualaikum!"


Mama Atika's words, made me a little calmer. I continue the work! While my eyeballs glanced towards the clock on the wall. Hope the time turns quickly!


I can't wait, if I have to wait a long time! But how else! It is impossible to leave this new job!

It was so good, because it was two o'clock. That means my job is over. Clean up everything on the desk. Then immediately rush out to the parking lot!


"Sir, where are you in such a hurry?" Ask Grace my coworker, who saw me walk so fast.


While walking, I answer! "My son is sick! I'm first yeah!"


"Yes be careful!"


Until the parking lot, I immediately put on a helmet and turned on the motorbike. Leave the office to go home.

At home..


I saw a pale face and a limp body helpless asleep on a pink mattress and pictured his favorite cartoon!


I touched her body, felt her body temperature rise. In his sleep he kept calling his father!


"Ma, ma!" My panicked cry called my mother. Take the bag lying on the table and I put it on the boat.


Mama Atika came and saw me who was carrying Aisyah's tiny body! "What's wrong?"


"Ma, please accompany Sisil at home! I want to take Aisyah for treatment!"


I walked out of the house holding Aisyah. In my arms, I felt Aisyah delirious!


.


.


I drove by in my booked online car. Drive quickly across the streets to the hospital!


The Hospital...


I got off and paid for the car online. Walk quickly to IGD room. After Aisyah got help from the nurses and doctors there!


I feel these feet trembling. Not strong to stand on foot! The fear about Aisyah's state, made the feeling unreasonable.


.


.


Waiting for half an hour. The doctor came out of the IGD room. Meet me in the waiting room!


The doctor explained everything about Ayesha's condition! "Mom, sorry! The mother's child should get treatment immediately."


"What happened to my son, Doc!" I asked her, looking at the doctor. My heart is racing more and more with nothing. Feet start to limp to stand.


The doctor explained at length about Aisyah's condition. Not for the safety of Aisha. Aisyah should get treatment! Even though the maintenance costs are quite expensive!


Seriate..


What happened to Aisha? Will Abim finance Aisha's treatment? Then what about her former in-law, who knew Aisyah was being treated!
