After the Rain

Sick Star

Enjoy what else Daniar can lie. When he did not know how to help his family's economy due to resign from school, it turns out that the old school actually embraces him again. Praise be to him in every prayer.

And Yandri too. Although logically, his salary is inadequate to continue his education. However, his determination to complete the Bachelor was so strong. Yandri's expertise in making and composing RPP and Curriculum, became a side job that he could eventually use to cover campus costs. Although sometimes, Yandri felt guilty because he could not meet the needs of children and wives. However, Yandri realized that there would definitely be a time.

Year after year goes on. Roni's business was in decline, until Danita finally asked permission to go home.

"Nita's sorry, Mom. Nita has always been a burden on Mom" Danita said as she brought her husband and son to stay at Ms. Salma's house.

"Ish it's okay, Nit. After all, Mom's room is always empty. It's been almost a year since I accompanied Hajjah Minah. You can use that room for your rest" said Ms. Salma.

"Yes, Mom. Mas Roni will try his new venture here. Maybe for a while, Nita, Mas Roni and Fayyadh will ride first at Mother's house. No pa-pa, isn't it Niar's sister?" ask Danita to her sister.

"Of course not pa-pa, Dek. Anyway, it's Mom's house. Brother does not mind, precisely Brother is happy, this house is so crowded. And of course the Stars will have playmates" Daniar replied, sincerely.

"Hehehe, yes Brother. By the way, did Bintang go to school?" asked Danita who was astonished when the Star wore a kindergarten uniform.

"Hmm, not too formal yet, anyway. He's old, he's a kid. Yeah, just went to school with Brother. You alone, will know that the Star can never escape from Brother," replied Daniar.

"Yes too. Tomorrow, Nita wants to try taking Fayyadh to school. Who knows, he's interested like a star. No pa-pa, right, sister?" ask Danita.

Daniar smiled, "Of course not pa-pa, Dek. There are many kindergarten children under the age of five. Yes count play while studying," Daniar said.

"Hmm really too. Yes already, tomorrow we try to take Fayyadh to Star school, yes. Would you, Kang?" ask Danita to her son who just turned three years old.

Although he did not understand, the little boy just nodded his head in response to the words of his mother.

Yandri. After school, he just sat at his desk. It was supposed to be her schedule to go home today. However, when he saw the gas tank of his motor, it turned out to be empty. Yandri himself did not have the money to buy gasoline. He was still waiting for the promise of his sister-in-law who was about to pay the deposit money. Yes, selling pulses has been Yandri's side job since the last three months.

The ringing of the cell phone in his pocket resuscitated Yandri from daydreams. He immediately took the thing out of his shirt pocket. Yandri's smile came out when he saw the name on the phone screen. Yandri immediately shifted the green button to receive a call from his wife.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Bun!" yandri SAPA.

"Wa'alaikumsalam's chat. Well, can you come home today?" ask Daniar on the other end of the phone. His voice sounded trembling, like one who was worried about something.

"What's up, Bun?" ask Yandri.

"Stars hurt, Dad. Since last night the fever was high. Mother was afraid something happened to the stars," replied Daniar began to sob.

"Brought to doctor dong, Bun," said Yandri.

"That's the problem, Dad. Mother does not hold the money to check the stars to the doctor. Mother does not want to go to school again. Mother's debt is a lot. Mommy is afraid that you can not pay arentar," replied Daniar.

Yandri just sighed. "Patience first, Bun. I'll try to get the money immediately so that the stars can be taken to the doctor. Now, Mommy hang up the phone first. I want to call someone."

"Alright, please go home as soon as you can, Dad. Mommy is worried about the stars," concluded Daniar while hanging up his phone.

Yandri rested his back on the back of the chair. He turned his face while staring blankly at the ceiling of his study. O Lord .. why do economic trials always approach the servant? Yesterday the mother who asked for a fee to the doctor, now my son is sick. Tomorrow, whether the problem especially that will approach the life of the servant, the inner Yandri. "Astaghfirullahaladzim," he murmured while rubbing his face violently.

"Somewhere busy the boy was, until from last night he didn't pick up the phone from me" Yandri snorted as he threw his phone on the desk.

Yandri again stared blankly at the window of his study.His mind drifted away thinking about the fate of the sick child. Oh my God .. What should I do? his screams in his heart

Ting!

A whatsapp message surprised Yandri from his daydream. Yandri grabbed the phone he had thrown on the table. He then swiped his screen to read the message he had just entered.

Sorry, Bang. Mia said the money went to Zidan's birthday party. So Mia has not been able to deposit the same money.

From Raihan.

"Astaghfirullah ...!"

Yandri beristighfar. The money that became Yandri's hope to bring his son to the doctor, has now disappeared. Three times her sister-in-law was late in depositing the money. Until finally, Yandri who must cover the deposit deposit to the central counter.

If this continues, for a long time the capital can run out, complained Yandri in his heart.

Not having a penny of money, Yandri decides not to go home. Hopefully tomorrow there will be sustenance that will greet him so that he can bring his baby to go to the doctor.

It's getting late. However, the roar of her husband's two-wheeled vehicle has not been heard. Daniar is getting anxious. What's more, the star's body temperature doesn't want to go down either. Repeatedly Daniar compresses the forehead of the Star to stabilize its body temperature. However, there is absolutely no change.

Bundaa ... pain ... Bundaa, Bibin is sick .." raved the Star with his soft voice.

Daniar's heart grew louder to hear the soft voice of his son who complained of pain. However, Daniar was unable to do anything. He could only bite his lower lip to endure all the pain he felt.

"Patience, Son. A powerful child star, Mother believes the Star can definitely pass through. The stars want to drink, Mother get water with, yes," said Daniar.

The star nodded slowly. The age of the stars is only 3.5 years. However, the boy was very intelligent. At the age of just three years, the Star is able to read without being spelled. So, it's not hard for Bintang to digest all of her mother's words.

Helplessly, the boy nodded weakly as Daniar offered him a drink of water.

Daniar took the glass that was on the nightstand. He then helped the Stars to sit down. A second later, Daniar brought a white straw close to the lips of the Star. The tiny lips that looked pale began to suck water from the glass.

"Udah, Bun," said the star as he returned to lay down his body. "Bun, where's Bibin's blanket? Bibin's cold," he continued.

Daniar is getting crowded hearing the increasingly raucous sound of the Star. He then pulled his son's beloved blanket and covered the Star to the chest.

"Bibin bobo first, Bun. Later, if you come home, wake up Bibin, yes," Pinta Bintang. "Bibin misses dad, Bibin wants to play with dad," he said.

"Yes, Son. Sleep on!" daniar answered while stroking his son's cheek that still feels hot.

What the hell are you busy with, Kang? You haven't been home for a week. Don't you know if Star misses you so much, Kang? inner Daniar powder.
