After the Rain

The Daniar Rage Peak

"Where are the stars, brother?" danita asked as she entered her sister's room.

"It's still hot, Dek," replied Daniar who still faithfully rubbed his son's back.

"We're taking Bintang to the doctor, sister," Daniar asked.

"Later on, Deck. Wait for his father to come home" continued Daniar.

"Ish Brother .. we don't know if bang Yandri will come home or not. Already, you don't have to think about the cost. Nita's still saving enough money to take Bintang to the pediatrician" Danita said.

"Not to, Dek. Your husband's business has just begun. Not necessarily also will get a profit in the near future. Better, you keep it for the needs of you and your child," subtly reject Daniar.

"Sister, money can be sought. Nita's nephew's health is more important today. Come on, get changed! Roni was waiting for Brother outside. He'll take Brother and Star to the doctor. Hurry over!" danita's orders.

"But, Deck!" hatch Daniar.

"Have, don't argue anymore! Do you want, Star why because it's late handling?" Danita tried to scare her sister.

"Ish Adek, by the way do not digress, ah," Daniar said.

"Yes, let's get the stars to the doctor!" press Danita.

"Yes, All right Deck. Later will be changed brother after kang Yandri come." Finally Daniar gave up.

"Yes-yes, take it easy. Let's get changed!" Once again Danita gave orders to her brother. After that, she then went to the front room to tell her husband if Daniar was getting ready.

"Is Brother Niar ready, Ma?" roni asked his wife.

"Available, Pa. Now Niar is changing clothes. Hopefully, the pain of Bintang is not severe," replied Danita.

"Aamiin's."

Not long after, Daniar came while carrying the Star.

"Are you ready, brother?" roni asked his brother-in-law.

Daniar nodded. With Roni delivered, Daniar brought Bintang to the doctor. Although in her heart tucked pain, because it was not her husband who delivered Daniar to the pediatrician.

After being examined by a doctor, it turns out that the star has typhus. Daniar had to take care of the extra daughter so that the pain did not get worse.

"Remember that, Mom. The medicine should be taken regularly. Try not to move much first even though the heat has gone down. If not, the fever will return" the doctor said.

"Well, Doc," Daniar said.

"This recipe. Please take it at the pharmacy ahead. Hopefully the baby will heal quickly" continued the young doctor.

"Aamiinu. Thank you, Doc. Then excuse me first" said Daniar.

After exiting the examination room, Daniar went straight to the pharmacy to redeem the Bintang medicine. Fifteen minutes of waiting, the name of the Star was finally called as well. Daniar got up from his seat and approached the nurse on duty.

"It's a cure for the heat sink, ma'am. If the fever has stopped, you can stop giving the medicine. And this is antibiotics, don't forget to spend" said the pharmacist.

"Well, Sus," Daniar replied.

"Please take the medicine, ma'am. The total is 357 thousand," continued the pharmacy.

Daniar spent the money Danita lent him. He then paid for his daughter's medical expenses. Again, the sadness wailed Daniar. Apparently, in addition to not being able to deliver her child to the doctor, her husband also could not provide medical expenses for his son.

Chaghfirullah, Kang's. In the past, it was Raihan's wife's turn to give birth, you can bear all the costs. However, when your child is sick, you can't take him to the doctor at all. What kind of father are you, Kang? In the end, Daniar was so tired of her husband's attitude.

Two weeks ago Yandri did not come home. This time, he reasoned to finish his script in order to be able to follow the schedule of the first trial. Daniar tries to understand that, although his heart still feels upset with all the selfishness of the husband.

The stars have recovered. The boy is back happy now. He could even run away with his cousin. Although Daniar still has not brought Bintang to school, but Bintang is quite active at home with Fayyadh and Danita.

Daniar is grateful to be able to stay on one roof with his sister. So that they can leave each other, take care of each other. Yes, the late father of Daniar did always emphasize the proverbs of sundanese 'choice, compassion and foster care' to his three daughters. Which means, wherever they are, they must remind each other, love each other and guide each other and protect each other.

"Dek, today Brother has to bring Kindergarten children for a coloring competition. Do you mind if you leave the Star before her father comes home?" ask Daniar. 'He said, Saturday now kang Yandri want to go home," he continued.

"Yes, I'll just go to work, there! Don't worry about the stars, Nita will take care of them. After all, today she said, I'm just like Grandma Hajjah to play here" replied Danita.

"Mr Hajjah wants to come here? What's up, Dek? How to tumben."

"He said, miss the kids."

"Oh, thank goodness that's it. So you're not too bothered to have to worry about two leaks, hehehe,...."

"Yes, Deck. Understand, Star, 'will be very active. Afraid you'll be soybeans too because you have to take extra care of him" Daniar said.

"No, Brother. Nita can definitely keep the same star as Fayyadh. Ah, go there! Entar was late again coming to the place of his sheep," orders Danita.

"Yes, Deck. Thanks, yeah. Drug Star ... good same Aunt Nita, yes. Watch out don't keep fighting the same grandpa," Daniar told his daughter.

"okay, Bun. Be careful in the way Mother," replied the Star as she waved her tiny hand.

Daniar smiled at his son's words. The more days, the intelligence level of the Star is increasingly visible. Daniar is proud to have such a smart child. Although sometimes, his heart ached because the little boy had always been second to his own father. Maybe at least that's what Daniar had in mind. It is only natural that Daniar has such thoughts, because all this time, the needs of the Star can never be the first priority of the father.

By late afternoon, Yandri arrived home. The stars look so happy. The little boy was never separated from his father's arms. Perhaps, the longing of the Star had reached its peak so that it did not want to come down from his father's lap.

"Come, Deck. Dad wants to eat, Star play with Tata first, yes," persuaded Danisa while stretching out his hands to take the Star from Yandri's lap.

"No!" reject the stars firmly. He also tightened his two tiny hands coiled around Yandri's neck.

"Already, Nis. Its alright. Let you eat later if the Bundanya Bintang has gone home," replied Yandri.

Danisa nodded. He turned around to go back to his room when the stars would not come. Not long after, Daniar arrived.

"Mother!* shouted the star as it thrashed asking to come down.

Yandri lowers the Star. A second later, the little girl slid into his mother's arms.

"Hmm, there's a Unfortunately, only then can it escape," Danisa snorted as she continued to walk into her room.

.

Her night. Yandri was still happily chatting with his daughter. As for Daniar, he was behind to wash the clothes. As a working housewife, Daniar only has time at night to do her homework.

When she was about to put her husband's work pants into the washing machine, Daniar's eyes looked at the paper that poked out of the pants pocket. Daniar then reached out and found a piece of paper containing scribbles of numbers.

The Nendi 500

Sukma 300

Mia 3 x 500 \= 1.5

Total of 2.3 million

Like that about the graffiti on the paper. Daniar frowned. Does kang Yandri have debts to others? his inner.

Due to high curiosity, Daniar finally stopped his work. She went back to her room to ask about the paper she found in her husband's work pants pocket.

"What is this, Dad? Do you have any debt to these people?" ask Daniar.

Yandri glanced at the paper that his wife was holding up. "Ish, Mother ... Any father ever had debt to others," answered Yandri is still in fashion to play with his daughter.

"Want to?" ask Daniar.

"That's a loan note with Mia's father," replied Yandri with his rest.

"Lending records? Did they borrow money from Dad?" ask Daniar again with a chest that began to feel tight.

"Yes" answered Yandri briefly.

"And Mia? Don't tell me if it's the same name as your brother-in-law?" press Daniar.

"Yes, Bun. Raihan, it's in Sumatra. Some time ago, he asked for a deposit with his father so that Mia could sell pulses at his home. Yes just to connect Mia and her child before Raihan can send money, therefore Dad sent a deposit," Yandri replied trying to explain.

"And he doesn't pay at all?" Daniar asked again even though his chest was already rumbling withstanding anger.

"Initially Mia payments are smooth. But now, he had already paid three times. Yeah, I stopped the deposit."

For some reason, Yandri answered as if he did not feel guilty for his attitude all along.

"Three times? Dad said three times and that's a total of 1.5 million. Oh my God, Father .. Your child is weak helpless because of typus, you just say you have no money, so it must be Danita and Roni who pay for Star treatment. But you alone are living your brother-in-law whose husband is wandering. Do you feel sorry or do you mean something else?" yelled Daniar who was no longer able to keep his emotions.

"So, talk to you, Bun. Don't su'udzon, Sin!" reply Yandri firmly. "Dad's not that low. I just feel sorry because Raihan can't send money. So Dad gave him the balance so he could cover the needs of his life," Yandri said trying to reason.

"And you forsake the health of your son for your brother-in-law, is that not the sin of his name either, huh? Why don't you just marry your brother-in-law so you don't have to sin?!"

Daniar vents his anger. She was really disappointed in her husband's attitude. Quickly, he grabbed the Star and took it away from the room. Although Daniar is aware that he should not fight in front of the child. But Daniar's anger towards her husband had already reached its peak. He was not out of thought with the attitude of the husband who is more concerned with the children of other people's wives than his own children.

"Your path, Kang!"
