After the Rain

The Most Patient Man

A knock on the door of Daniar's room, instantly disperse his daydream. Daniar wiped the corner of his eyes that had runny. He slightly polished his thin face with powder, so as not to look exhausted crying. A second later, Daniar moved to open the door.

"Mom bothers you, Ni?" mrs Salma asked as soon as the door opened.

"No, Mom. Yuk, in!" bring Daniar.

Ms. Salma entered Daniar's room, followed by the daniar from behind. A moment later, Ms. Salma sat on the edge of the bed.

"Did Yandri tell you if he couldn't smell anything?" ask Miss Salma.

"Yes, Mom. Kang Yandri told me everything" Daniar replied, wistfully.

"Oh yes, Ni. Tomorrow's Monday, shouldn't you take your husband to a public hospital?" ask Miss Salma.

Daniar silence. It's not that he won't take Yandri for treatment. However, Daniar's financial condition made it impossible to take Yandri to the hospital. Let alone to check to poly ENT, the third control must be Daniar cancel because it does not have money.

"Niar, how are you quiet? Don't you worry about your husband?" ma'am Salma asked her daughter.

"Ish, Mother .. which wife is not worried about her husband. Actually, Niar is not unwilling to bring Yandri kang to poly ENT. However, to be honest at this time Daniar does not have money, Mom," replied Daniar while lowering his face.

Ms. Salma's hand stretched out to reach for Daniar's chin. "Take your husband to the hospital, son. Don't think about the cost. I still have a stash, though. You just wear it" said Ms. Salma, sincerely.

"But Ma'am, Niar's debt is already much the same Mother. Yesterday, Niar had not thought about where to pay from. Kang Yandri, 'can't work anymore" replied Daniar.

"Haish, you don't have to think about it, Ni. For whom do you have money if not for your children. Money can be sought, but health? Health is the main thing, Ni. How can we possibly make money if our bodies are not healthy" said Ms. Salma.

Daniar smile. What his mother said was true. Health is much more important.

"If indeed Mother does not mind the money Niar borrowed, Insya Allah tomorrow Daniar bring kang Yandri to ENT, Mom," concluded Daniar.

Behind the door, Yandri could only be stunned. Really, she felt so lucky to have a mother-in-law like Miss Salma. The 55-year-old woman never discriminated between her son and daughter-in-law. Perhaps, for Ms. Salma, there was no word of daughter-in-law in her life. It's all the same, son! Only child.

Prangs!

Accidentally, Maryam who was washing dishes, dropped a glass until it broke.

"What's up, Mom?" ask Mr. Ahmad, her husband.

"Maybe Mom's hand is slippery, sir," replied Miss Maryam.

"Yes, stop it. Let it be later, Isah who continues his work" said Mr. Ahmad.

"Isaah? Huh, how dare Isah do our household chores, sir," muttered Miss Maryam who could still be heard by her husband.

"Well, why Mom? Isn't Isah our daughter-in-law? Cook yes, he does not want to help the work of his parents," said Mr. Ahmad.

Back Miss Maryam snorted in annoyance. "Don't be, you better get in. After all, the laundry is just a little more. After that, later Mother cleaned up the shards of her bells," pushed out Miss Maryam who felt careless because she was always commented on by her husband.

Ahmad could only sigh. The next moment, he left Miss Maryam.

Oh my God .. Why do I feel bad, huh? Why do I suddenly remember Khodijah? Ah how's the kid doing? I haven't seen her in a long time, said Maryam.

After the magrib prayer, Daniar had laid his body on the bed. Perhaps due to lack of sleep during the camp, Daniar was finally lulled into a dreamland even though a new night was approaching.

"Mother is asleep in her room, dear," replied Yandri.

"Loh, Daniar is sleeping anyway, kok tumben, Yan," said Bu Salma.

"Yes, Mom. Maybe because of exhaustion too" Yandri replied

"Hmm, yeah. The boy from SD never got off the same name as the scout. Every camp, always come. In fact, every new year night he spent at the top of Galunggung with his friends. He was hepi, but the heart of my mother was thin-ketir," said Bu Salma told the love of Daniar to scouts.

Yandri just smiled broadly imagining the teenage story of his wife.

"Oh yes, Yan. Has Daniar told you that?" asked Ms. Salma who remembered her conversation with the child this afternoon.

"What story, Mom?" Yandri asked back.

"That's about checking you out to ENT" replied Ms. Salma.

"It's okay, Mom. Yandri himself has no sustenance for treatment. After all, Yandri is fine, Mom," Yandri said.

"Ish, don't underestimate your health, Yan. I don't want to know. Anyway tomorrow you should check into ENT!" firmly Ms. Salma. "Come, Bin we pray Isya first. Abis that we sleep," concluded Ms. Salma while taking her granddaughter to the room.

"Dad, Bibin slept first. Dad don't sleep at night. His head could get dizzy again. Bye, Dad. Mmmuaaah," said the star kissing his father's forehead.

"Yes dear. Good night .. Lovely dream yes, daughter Dad. Mmuah," Yandri kissed his two cheeks back.

A young doctor continued to observe Yandri's X-ray results when he had an accident first. After that, the doctor asked Yandri to sit down and look up. Quickly, he began to examine Yandri's nasal cavity.

Patently, the young doctor gave some objects that have a level of aroma ranging from the lowest to the stinging aroma. However, from the whole thing, Yandri could not smell it at all. Until Yandri's reaction made the young doctor sigh heavily.

Finished examining his patients, the young doctor invited Yandri back to sit next to Daniar.

"So, Mom. If you see the results of the father's ctscan after the accident, the bone over the nose of the Father is not only broken, but also crushed. Strong guesses, it caused some of the olfactory nerves of the Father to break and as a result the Father lost his sense of smell," said the young doctor.

Daniar's body seemed boneless when he heard the doctor's verdict about her husband. Astaghfirullahaladzim, dizziness due to cracks in the bones of his front skull has not subsided, suddenly the priest was hit again by the test by losing his sense of smell.

Break the hearts of the servant and the servant's husband in the face of this test Rabb.

Finished redeeming the medicine and paying for hospital administration. Daniar booked a taxi online to go home. Shortly after, the invitation arrived. Daniar and Yandri immediately took an online taxi.

In the taxi, Daniar can only be quiet. Her mind was completely blank after knowing the verdict of the effects of the accident that the husband had experienced. "Yes God ... There's-there," muttered Daniar.

Yandri who heard his wife muttering, immediately turned his head. He saw Daniar who was daydreaming. Yandri knew that Daniar was sad right now.

"Have Bun, don't think too much. Not good, so if we want to make love, Mother does not have to take a shower first, will not kiss this same Father, hehehe, ..." joked Yandri, trying to melt the atmosphere.

"Astaghfirullah, Dad. There is still a disaster, bechanda. Patience, you, Dad," said Daniar who despite smiling but his heart was very sick to hear Yandri's joke.

Subhanallah .. as long as the servant lives, only this time the servant meets a man who is so patient. Perhaps among the men I have known, only he was the most patient man in the face of his burden. Masiah Allah ....

Inner Daniar continued to monologue praising her husband's patience. Daniar leaned his head on Yandri's shoulder. His determination to maintain his household was getting stronger. It does. There is always wisdom behind every trial.

Remember Niar, it is not always raining on the earth, the inner Daniar on himself.
