After the Rain

Denial Daniar

Ms. Salma and Yandri immediately bowed to stop Daniar from opening his medical equipment. The infusion needle that was attached to the hand was now released. Blood began to splatter on the white sheet.

"Niar, dear ... calm down!" said Ms. Salma who immediately hugged Daniar.

However, Daniar is still in revolt. In fact, now he wants to wake up.

"Don't, Honey! Please don't wake up, son. You just had a major operation!" exclaims Miss Salma, trying to hold Daniar's body.

Yandri hugged Daniar. Holding Daniar's body through a warm embrace. Yandri hopes that his embrace can calm Daniar.

However, Daniar suddenly pushed Yandri's body with all his might until the man fell on the floor.

"Son, what are you doing?" exclaims Miss Salma.

Fortunately, the ICU room that has two rooms, only filled by Daniar as its inhabitants. Therefore, the commotion that occurred did not bother other patients.

Daniar looked at her husband. However, this time there was something different from Daniar's gaze towards the husband. Hearing her husband's voice, Daniar immediately reminded her of her mother-in-law's behavior during this time. Therefore Daniar strongly encourages the husband.

Yandri. He was about to approach Daniar. However ....

"Stop!" yelled Daniar, staring at her husband.

Ms. Salma was surprised. Likewise with Danisa who just arrived at the door of the ICU room because she heard a commotion from inside. The tomboyish girl was only able to gape at the sight of her brother stopping the movement of his sister-in-law.

"Go from here!" drive Daniar to her husband.

Yandri. She looked at Ms. Salma who was also confused by her son's words.

"Dear, what's wrong with you? That's Yandri, son ... your husband!" firmly Ms. Salma. "Why did you throw him out?" asked Ms. Salma who thought her son was still under the influence of drugs.

"Please ask him to get out of here, ma'am," said Daniar.

His eyes never left Yandri. The gaze filled with disappointment and anger that seemed like it would soon become a time bomb that could explode at any moment.

"But why, brother?" mama Salma asked, getting more confused.

"Niar doesn't want to see that person here. Get him out of this room, ma'am. Niar please!" This time Daniar pleaded, clutching both hands.

"But, Son!" Ms. Salma still doesn't want to follow Daniar's orders. According to him, what Daniar ordered, it was very unreasonable.

"Take him off, or I'll get out of here!" peekik Daniar, ready to wake up from his bed.

"E-e-e-eh ..." Danisa came in, "let Nisa take Bang Yandri out" said Danisa, mediating the conversation and approaching her sister-in-law.

Daniar turned his head, as did Miss Salma and Yandri. They don't understand what Danisa means.

"Come on Bang, you better get out of here," Danisa asked while holding her sister-in-law's hand.

"But, Deck. Brother wants to accompany your brother here," said Yandri, rejecting his sister-in-law's invitation.

"Bang, Bang ... Nisa please," continued Danisa.

"But, Deck."

"Already, Bang. Please don't make a fuss here. It's night, you know" Danisa said, reminding.

"Yes, Deck. I know it's been a night. After all, Brother just wants to be near his own wife. Is that wrong?" Yandri is still trying to find a reason to take care of Daniar.

"Not wrong, Bang. Only the timing is not right" Danisa said. "Let's hunt ah .. follow Nisa. There's something Nisa has to say." Once again Danisa makes sense to take her sister-in-law out of the ICU room.

Seeing Daniar who seemed reluctant to be with him, Yandri's heart ached. He increasingly did not understand, why his wife could not accept his presence. In fact, in times like this, a wife must be in desperate need of husband support.

My God, what happened to my wife. Why does he feel like he never wants to meet a slave? inner Yandri.

"Children of Niar, Ma'am .. child of Niar, huhuhu ...."

Instead of answering his mother's question, Daniar cried while mentioning his son. Maybe, for now Daniar still can not accept the fact if he has lost his child candidate.

"Sst .. no, Niar. I know you must be very sad. But you have to control yourself, son. In order to heal quickly," replied Ms. Salma.

Hearing the word healed, Daniar immediately remembered the surgery he had vaguely heard from the conversation between his mother and her husband.

Daniar, who was in the arms of his mother, withdrew. He looked at his mother, clingy.

"W-what would be-nar if ra-rahim Niar had been lifted, Mom?" tanya Daniar.

Ms. Salma could no longer hold back her grief. Looking at Daniar's gaze, his heart ached. Ms. Salma did not have the heart to tell all the truth. He ran into the toilet of the ICU room crying.

Seeing her mother leave with tears in her eyes, Daniar was only able to withstand the tightness in her heart. He was convinced that what he heard was the truth.

Astaghfirullahaladzim, astaghfirullahaladzim ....

In his heart, Daniar spoke Istighfar repeatedly to strengthen his heart.

Outside the ICU.

Yandri seemed to be sitting limply in the waiting chair. His face looks very dirty. Tired really hurt him. Not just physically. But his mind and heart were tired. Yandri was tired of thinking about the reason Daniar refused his presence. Truly, he never understood why the queen of his heart was behaving like that.

"What's wrong Brother, Dek? Why does Brother Niar seem to reject the presence of Brother?" yandri lirih.

Danisa patted her sister-in-law's shoulder gently. He felt the same astonishment. I don't know why his elder brother behaved that way. To be honest, Danisa doesn't have the answer.

"patience, Bang. Maybe Niar's sister is just in shock" said Danisa, trying to calm Yandri.

"But, what should be by expelling Brother too, Dek? Brother doesn't understand, why does your brother look like he hates you? Why did his eyes seem to harbor anger?" Yandri.

"Ish, I said that, anyway. It's just a brother feeling. Nisa is sure, Niar's sister is just in shock because she has lost her baby. Not more!" firmly Danisa.

"May what you say be true, Deck. And may your mind be wrong" said Yandri.

"Already, Bang. Don't mind much. Better, now you go home and rest. Brother looks tired. Tomorrow you come here again" said Danisa.

"No, Deck. You don't want to leave your brother. Even more so in these circumstances," Yandri said.

"Bang, it's not just Niar's sister who needs my brother's attention right now, but Bintang as well" Danisa said. "Pity is also a Star, Bang. It seemed like he was also in shock, let alone seeing his mother bleed like that. She must have been traumatized, Bang," Danisa continued.

Hearing the word bloody, Yandri also remembered the thing he wanted to ask when he first met his sister-in-law. However, because he was very curious about the condition of Daniar, Yandri had forgotten about it.

"Actually, what happened to Niar's brother, Dek? Why did he get such heavy bleeding? What before leaving, did she complain her stomach hurt again?" Yandri flocked Danisa with various questions.

"When you're about to leave, Brother Niar looks fine, Bang. A week undergoing bedrest, the condition of Niar is very healthy. According to Brother's orders, Nisa also slowly forwarded her car. For fear of disturbing the content of Niar's legs as well. Arriving at the place, Brother Niar and Bintang went to his brother's house. However, before long the Star came with a panicked face. He just said his mom was bleeding. Nisa also immediately picked up Niar who was sitting on the bench in front of a stall. Brother Niar suddenly fainted, but before he fainted he only asked Nisa to take him to the hospital," Danisa explained, telling her the chronology she knew.

"Star," muttered Yandri, "so the stars know what happened?" ask Yandri.

"It looks like it, Bang. Unfortunately, the stars didn't want to tell us everything. Maybe, he's hurt a lot, Bang. That's why he's clamming."

"Oh my God .. pity the boy. He had long expected the presence of his sister" said Yandri, rubbing his face rough.

"Therefore, Brother must accompany him. Nisa sure, Bintang must be very sad because it has lost its sister candidate. Go home, Bang. Let's tonight, Nisa's the same mother who's waiting for Niar's sister."

"Alright, Deck. Tonight, my brother will go home first. Titip brother Niar, yes. Tomorrow morning Brother comes again," pinta Yandri.

"Yes, Bang."
