After the Rain

Raihan Idea

Yandri muttered softly as he looked at Khodijah who was lying helplessly. For a moment, he nodded. No more body postures containing her brother's first. Khodijah's body looks thin from the last Yandri met him a year ago.

"Yes!"

The call of Khodijah immediately awakened Yandri from his attitude. He then walked over to his brother's bed. Even though the smell of porpoises is very pungent. However, Yandri paid no heed to it.

"How are you, brother?" sapa Yandri kissed the back of her brother's stiff hand.

"Ba-ik" answered Khodijah. Not felt, both corners of his eyes had runny from feeling moved by the arrival of Yandri.

Daniar is approaching. His stomach started to churn as he smelled the scent in his sister-in-law's room. However, he tried to hold it. Luckily, after shaking hands with Khodijah, Daniar's phone rang. Finally he had a reason to immediately get out of the room that smelled incoherent.

"Actually Kak Sejah was affected by Kang's disease? How can it get like this. As far as Yandri is concerned, Sis Dijah has no history of high blood, right?" yandri asked, starting the conversation.

"A month after Eid, your brother had a mild stroke, Yan. Akang once brought your brother to the puskesmas accompanied by the same alternative as well. Thank goodness it was healed. Starting to be able to walk even though it requires a tool to hold. However, a month after recovering, suddenly your brother's legs feel weak, until finally he fell. When Akang took her to the hospital, the doctor diagnosed that your sister had taken the drug wrong, and the side effects of the drug attacked her leg nerves" Aji said at length.

Yandri can only be privileged in the heart. She really did not expect that her brother would experience this kind of paralysis.

"Wantas? Kang Aji has taken Kak Sejah anywhere?" ask Yandri.

"Akang can only take Khodijah to alternative medicine. Frankly, Akang was indeed unable to bring Khodijah to the hospital. Although the hospital fee is free, but, there are many procedures. And all of that takes money. After all, the distance from the house to the public hospital is very far, and everything is inseparable from the cost as well" said Aji.

Yandri sighed. What Aji said is true. Yandri felt the same way when he and his wife had to go back and forth to the hospital after the accident.

"Yandri understood what Akang meant. Yandri and Daniar have also been in the position of Akang. Everything feels so hard. Complaining will not solve the test. The key, just sincere, patient and reliable," Yandri said.

"Yes, you're right Yan. That is why Akang never told anyone about the situation of Akang and your brother. No matter how they think about Akang, hmm Akang no longer cares. Because only Akang and your brother know better about Akang's efforts to heal your brother," continued Aji.

Daniar who accidentally eavesdropped on their conversation, instantly frowned his two eyebrows. He wondered why his sister-in-law thought so. Is there anyone who questions Kang Aji's efforts in healing Kak Dijah? inner Daniar.

Hmm, if there is, Daniar himself can guess who the doubter is.

"Pity is also Kang Aji," muttered Daniar.

"What's wrong with Aji, Bun?" chirp the Star that was already standing next to Daniar.

Daniar jumped in shock.

"Sh you, Dek ... ngagetin aja!" tukas Daniar who immediately patted his son's shoulder slowly.

After a few hours, Yandri and Daniar said goodbye to go home. Yandri's condition, which has yet to recover, forces Yandri to end his visit. Plus, Daniar whispers to Yandri if his stomach feels nauseous. As if I was going to throw up.

"God willing, Yandri will find the address, Kang. If you have met, Yandri invited Kak Dijah here," Yandri said before saying goodbye.

"Not to be picked up, Yan. I am afraid of trouble. Let Akang go there. After all, you're going to have a major operation. Don't be too dirty either. Afraid to drop" Aji said.

"No, Kang. God willing, Yandri is strong. Mumpung Yandri is still on leave as well" Yandri said.

"Yes, it's up to you, Yan. Thank you in advance," continued Aji.

"Wa'alaikumsalam."

Somewhere else.

Miss Maryam, who was so worried about her daughter's condition, went awry. To be honest, she wanted to take Khodijah out of her husband's house. However, Miss Maryam did not know where to place Khodijah.

With her?!

Obviously impossible, because she also lives hitchhiking at her husband's house. However, putting Khodijah in his own home, it was not a very good idea either. Who will take care of Khodijah later there. It's a pretty serious dilemma.

"Kak Sejah was not able to recover if not treated medically as well," Habibah opinion when Bu Maryam recounted the condition of his second daughter.

"Yes, I know that. She said that to her husband too. But the Aji instead said that he did not have the money to bring Khodijah to the hospital," replied Miss Maryam.

"Yes, the treatment of such a disease is quite costly as well, ma'am. Bibah can understand the talk of kang Aji. We, 'will know what Aji's work is, '" Habibah replied.

"If you realize that his income is not enough, yes he should try hard to find additional," said Maryam's mother upset.

"Huh, Mother. Indeed, finding another job is easy," said Bahar.

"It's hard not to try hard. Like you who do not want to try to change fate," replied Miss Maryam ketus.

"Yes continue ... What can you do? After all by grumbling here too, will not make the brother of the Sejah to be healed," replied Habibah who felt bad when her husband was insulted by his mother.

"Mom's fate was never lucky. Had many children, but when one of them was hit by a disaster, all could only stand idly by. It is free to have many children but not to love each other. Live one person, as if never had a brother," complained Miss Maryam.

Raihan who heard her mother's complaint, immediately came out of the room. While shaking his waist, he approached the crowd of mothers and children who were talking about his second brother.

"Why do you have to complain to those of us who do have a mediocre life. It should be, I convey the complaint of the mother to the Nauval bang or Yandri bang. Aren't among all the Mother's children, only those whose fate lines are lucky?" chirping Raihan.

"That bill, Mom. Even Kang Rahmat said, Yandri had bought a car. That means he's got a lot of money, ma'am. Why didn't I ask Yandri for help to get him to the hospital?" timpal Bahar, provoke his in-laws.

The hesitation in the look on Maryam's face suddenly disappeared hearing the opinions of her son and daughter-in-law. There is a point to their idea as well. Hmm, why didn't you think about it? his inner.

"Yes, later I try to contact Yandri," concluded Bu Maryam as he moved from the small stool that had been occupied.

Minutes after Miss Maryam disappeared.

"Well, your idea is great, Dek! So we do not have to be dizzy again with the complaints of mothers, Habibah chirped after his mother had.

"Hmm, who was it ... Raihan that's loh!"
