Nightfall.
Abraham and his family are in the hospital, waiting for good news from the doctor who treated Herwan.
Herwan is in a coma and the poison has spread to several points in his body.
“Yes Allah, where did the snakes come from? Why should your dad get his bite? If told to choose, Mother is better affected by her bite than your Father,” said Arumi who continued to cry incessantly.
Dyah who was in the row of seats near Arumi can only pray for the safety of his Uncle in-laws. Plus, Arsyad and Ashraf are still very small to lose a Grandpa.
“Mother do not think too much about the problem of snakes at home, Abraham has asked the police and firemen to immediately catch the snakes. Now all we have to do is pray for salvation for Father,” Abraham said.
Even so, Arumi has not been able to calm down as long as the snakes in the residence of his son-in-law have not been captured.
“Mother...” Asyila approached and held Arumi's hands together.
“Sorry baby, I am very afraid of losing your Father,” Arumi said and cried in the arms of her beloved daughter without making a sound.
Abraham turned his head towards his two little sons and approached his nephew, Dyah.
“Bring Arsyad and Ashraf to the nearest hotel, rest up!” Abraham's Commandments.
Dyah of course agreed to an order from his Uncle, he could not bear to see his two younger siblings in the hospital.
“Then, Uncle and the others?” ask Dyah.
“Don't think of us, the most important thing is that you can rest in a hotel. Oya, tell Uncle the name of the hotel when you arrive. Mr. Udin will deliver you,” explained Abraham.
“Do not want, we want to be here with Father and Mother,” reject Arsyad and immediately hold tightly the hand of the Father.
Abraham crouched down and gently stroked his first son's hair.
“Dear Arsyad, tomorrow morning you can come here. Hospitals should not be for young children, let alone their little ones like this powerful Arsyad and Ashraf. Arsyad has to follow what Dad said, otherwise?” abraham asked, intending that his first son should continue the sentence he had said.
“In hell,” replied Arsyad continuing what the Father said.
“Dyah, take Arsyad and Ashraf to the hotel now!” Abraham's Commandments.
“Come on, kiss the hands of Father, Mother and Grandma Arumi!”
Arsyad and Ashraf kissed the back of his Father and Mother's hand, then kissed the back of His beloved Grandmother's hand.
“Assalamu'alaikum!” Dyah waved her hand after kissing Uncle. Aunty and Grandma from her two little sisters.
Mr. Udin rushed to deliver his young master's nephew and nephew.
“Arsyad and Ashraf must listen to what Kak Dyah says, you are now the responsibility of Kak Dyah. You understand!”
“Understanding!” arsyad and Ashraf.
Arumi continued to watch both of her grandchildren's backs. Seeing how innocent Arsyad and Ashraf make Arumi touched and try hard to face the trials that are befalling his family.
“Shouldn't have Mom crying in front of Arsyad and Ashraf. Mother feels guilty,” said Arumi while wiping her tears.
“Mother..” Asyila hugged and rubbed her mother's back, “We're looking for food huh Mom! From earlier I have not eaten a mouthful of rice.”
“Asyila was right, I had to eat even a little so that I did not get sick, ” said Abraham who did not want if his mother-in-law fell ill.
“Thank you for worrying about Mom,” said Arumi and let go of Asyila's hug, ”Let's find a meal at a nearby restaurant,”.
Asyila developed her smile and held the hand of her beloved Mother. Together they look for restaurants or restaurants nearby around the hospital.
At the same time, Dyah and his two little sons from Uncle and Aunty had arrived at the hotel which was about 3 km from the hospital.
Viewed from the outside, the hotel is quite nice and not spooky like most other hotels in the Capital.
“Goodnight, want to order how many rooms?” ask the hotel receptionist.
“Room 1 but big two size bed, no?” ask Dyah.
“In a moment, I check first,” reply hotel receptionist.
“Good,” Sayahut Dyah.
“Kak, carry!” pinta Ashraf whines for a carry.
“This is the key, coincidentally on the fourth floor there is still an empty room as requested by Brother,” explained the female receptionist.
Dyah took the room key and immediately took her two sisters to the fourth floor. Mr. Udin followed Dyah from behind while pulling a large suitcase that Abraham had brought from home. The suitcase contained some of the clothes of Abraham, Ashila, Arshad and also Ashraf.
“Here the suitcase let me take it!” pinta Porter aka the freight forwarder.
“No need, let me alone bring it,” reject Mr. Udin who wants to deliver Dyah and his two young master's little sons to their front room.
Porter or the freight carrier agreed to Mr. Udin's wishes.
“Thank you, Mr. Udin,” said Dyah thank you.
“Sama-sama, Sister Dyah. Because Mbak Dyah and the little boss are here, I say goodbye first. Assalamu'alaikum!”
“Wa’alaikumsalam.”
Dyah opened the room door according to the number that was locked. Dyah's smile was perfect when he saw the contents inside the hotel room.
“Already at 9pm, you guys want to take a shower?” ask Dyah.
“Mau,” reply Arsyad.
The answer of Arshad and Ashraf is different. Ashraf who does not really like bathing, especially not bathed by his mother must refuse and choose to wash his face, hands and feet before going to bed.
“Because Ashraf does not want to shower, yes already here wash your face, hands and feet yes!”
Ashraf nodded in agreement and Dyah led the little boy into the bathroom.
While Arsyad is still waiting its turn to be able to enjoy the bathroom alone.
“Now live Arsyad who must take a bath, Brother has prepared warm water for Arsyad. Now shower!”
Arsyad quickly took off his clothes and went into the bathroom. Ashraf was getting ready to sleep on a soft bed.
“Kak..”
“What's Ashraf?” ask Dyah.
“Puk puk!” pinta Ashraf while hitting her own ass, exemplifying how Dyah should put her to sleep.
Dyah swallowed his salivary and gently hit his sister's buttocks.
“Sleep my dear sister, tomorrow we go to the hospital to visit Grandpa,” Dyah said.
It didn't take long, Ashraf fell asleep and heard a soft snoring.
“Cold..” Arsyad came out of the bathroom wearing only her pants.
Dyah who saw it immediately unpacked the contents of the suitcase to give clothes to Arsyad who was cold.
“Pick up the pants, put on this towel!” Dyah gave Arsyad's towel.
Arsyad took the towel and put it on.
“This is a nightgown!” Dyah gives Arsyad's favorite nightgown.
Arsyad put it on immediately and after that, he rushed up to the bed to rest.
“Now sleep, do not forget to read do'a,” said Dyah.
After reading the do'a before going to bed, Arsyad immediately closed his eyes. Actually he really wanted to sleep with his parents, but, given that the Grandfather was sick, Arsyad had to be patient until the beloved grandfather was completely healed.
Now that Dyah was not yet asleep, he suddenly remembered the man who gave him a light blue handkerchief with the embroidery of the name Kikan.
“Kikan? Is that maybe his wife's name?”
Dyah dropped his body on the bed while continuing to pay attention to the handkerchief in his hand gifts from men dressed in Muslim clothes, sarongs and peci typical of people who just returned from the mosque.
“Like ustadz,” says Dyah monologues.
