After the Rain

Misunderstand

Only that sentence was able to come out of Khodijah's lips with great difficulty. To be honest, she could no longer stand living in her mother's house. Especially when seeing the romance of Habibah's face that always wry when taking care of it.

Miss Maryam gawked, as if she could not believe what she had just heard. So too with Habibah. His head feels dizzy. Thousands of butterflies with wings, as if flying away. Ish, this cannot be allowed, inner Habibah.

"Come home anyway, brother! Doesn't Kak Dijah want to stay here? Sis Sejah, 'kan not healed properly. Nevermind ... Brother just come here first. Later, Bibah tried to find money to charge Brother to go to the hospital," persuaded Habibah.

Khodijah shook his head. He knew that his sister was pretending to be nice. Khodijah looked back at her husband. "In-jah .. mau pu-lang," he said.

Daniar opened his eyes when he heard his phone ringing. For a moment, he stared at the window of the room whose curtain was already closed. Is it night already? inner Daniar.

The phone rings again. Daniar grabbed it from the top of the nightstand. He smiled faintly when he found out the name of the caller. She also answered her husband's call.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Dad!" daniar SAPa.

"Wa'alaikumsalam's chat. How are you, Bun? Sorry, I can just call Mommy now. All day, I was busy taking care of the children's eskul," Yandri said across the phone.

"Yes, it's nothing Dad" Daniar said.

"Oh yeah, Bun. By the way, what important things do you want to talk about? Make your heart deg-degan aja, hehehe,." said Yandri while chuckling.

"Bibah asked for ten million" Daniar said without making small talk.

"What?!" Yandri's laughter stopped instantly upon hearing Daniar's reply. "Couldn't you? Make what?" yandri.

"Says for medical expenses to be taken to the hospital. Brother Bibah said, Father has agreed to it and told Brother Bibah to ask for money with Mother," said Daniar.

"What?!" Yandri was again surprised, "where is there? Dad never asked Bibah to ask for money to Mother," he said.

"Ish, which one is right?" grouse Daniar.

"Wait Bun! I think it's just a misunderstanding" Yandri replied.

"I mean Dad?" Daniar asked while linking his eyebrows together.

"Last day, Bibah called. He said he asked Dad for help with treatment for Sejah's sister. Honestly, I wasn't so focused on listening to what Bibah said, because I had to do EMIS. Dad said to call Mother to talk about it. I thought, Brother Bibah just wanted to borrow a car to bring Kak Sejah to the hospital. That's why I told Brother Bibah to talk to you, Bun," Yandri said.

Daniar sighed. "Then why did you ask for money?"

"Come, you yourself don't know. Maybe they don't have the money to check on Sejah's brother to the doctor" guessed Yandri.

"If there is no money, why force yourself? Don't you know that we don't have any money either. Then what should we do?" ask Daniar.

"Here, Mother does not need much thought. Let me call Bibah's sister later. Now Mother rest, yes. Poor Rayyan, he must be anxious if the mother is too much thought," said Yandri.

Hearing Rayyan's name, Daniar smiled as he rubbed his flat stomach.

"Yes already, Dad ... Mother hang up the phone, yeah. Assalamu'alaikum!" Daniar.

"Wa'alaikumsalam," replied Yandri.

There was a lot of drama before Aji finally managed to bring his wife home. He stared at Khodijah who was sleeping on his lap.

I'm sorry, Dek! I really didn't know that everything was going to happen like this. Pardon Akang, Aji's mind while rubbing the head of Khodijah.

Both of Aji's eyes glazed over. Unable to see his wife's condition. Now, Aji must fight again from the beginning again to heal Khodijah. His nearly a year of effort, no use at all. In fact, the two legs of Khodijah that used to be able to concentrate, now feel stiff back and difficult to move.

Abaghfirullahaladzim!

Aji was only able to stand in his heart. All flavors mixed. Sick, sad, and full of regrets now Aji felt in his heart.

"Already, Sir. Don't cry anymore. We can definitely make mom recover" whispered Hana as she wrapped her hands around Aji's neck.

Aji looked up. The boy, though only 15 years old, was old enough to understand the difficulties of his parents.

"You're right, son. We can make mom recover. Help me, dear. Be your source of strength, so that you can take good care of and protect you" Aji replied.

"Aamiin's."

After learning of the misunderstanding, Yandri immediately contacted her brother. He did not want Habibah to respond wrongly to his remarks earlier this afternoon.

"Hmm, if it's not straightened out right now, they're afraid they'll keep hoping. Poor as well, brother Sejah. He would have assumed that if I had only given false hope" Yandri murmured.

Yandri pulled out his phone. He also contacted Habibah

"Hello, Yan!" habibah on the other end of the phone.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Brother!" yandri Reply.

"Wa'alaikumsalam" Habibah said. "Hmm, it's good that you called, Yan. Somebody wants you to talk to me."

"Oh, Yes. About what, brother?" ask Yandri.

"It's about your wife, Yan. It seems, he is reluctant to fulfill your orders. The proof, he did not realize anything when Brother talked about Brother's request," replied Habibah fiery.

"Hhh ..." Yandri sighed. Of course Daniar will not answer your request, brother. What you asked for was already too outrageous, Inner Yandri.

"Yan, your wife is getting longer and longer, same with you. He must have ignored your orders, Yan. This is a commandment of kindness, you see. The head was big," Cerocos Habibah, still trying to corner his sister-in-law in the eyes of the younger brother.

"Sorry, Brother. It seems like Brother misunderstood Yandri's words this afternoon. Yandri thought, Brother would ask for help to deliver Sejah's sister to the hospital. Therefore, Yandri told Brother to contact Daniar to consult when Daniar can deliver it. Because the car is at home. But if for the medical expenses like what you have asked Daniar, amounting to ten million, frankly, we do not have, brother. So sorry, Yandri could not help finance the treatment of Sejah's sister. Yandri hope, brother Sejah the same others can understand. Again, Yandri apologized. Assalamu'alaikum!" yandri concluded his talk.

For a moment, Yandri closed his eyes. It's years. However, somehow his brother still could not accept Daniar as his brother-in-law.

Astaghfirullah .. what's wrong Daniar, brother? Why do you always talk bad about him? yandri lamented in his heart.
