Akad Shackle

Do'a Athaya

A week passes from the hadi when Rahma and Tama meet Anggara at the hospital where he is being treated. From the information they got from Friska Anggara's state is getting worse, at this time he is getting harder to control. Her body became weaker as she refused the food and medicine the nurse had given her.

"The situation is critical" Friska said on the other end of the phone, Tama had just received a call from Friska. During this time their communication did occur between Tama and Friska. Several times Friska tried to ask for Rahma's mobile number, but Rahma only answered if her husband's mobile number was enough.

"What?" pekik Tama made Rahma who was preparing their breakfast stop her activities.

"Mas.." murmured Rahma curiously, she asked through the look of her eyes.

"Alright, I'll go there with Rahma" concluded Tama next he also said hello to end the conversation on the phone.

"Why Mas?" Rahma finally made a sound, she wondered what made her husband look shocked.

"So Friska, he informed me that Anggara is critical" Tama replied with worried eyes. Tama explains the state of Anggara according to what he received from Friska.

"Innalillahi...." Rahma was shocked to hear the news of her ex-husband, in her heart she prayed that God would provide healing for her ex-husband.

"I said we'd visit him, you ready?" Tama looked, the change in the face of the wife was clearly visible to him after he delivered the news about Anggara.

"But Mas...."

"I allow dear and I will accompany you" Tama as if to understand his wife's concerns, since marriage he increasingly knows what his wife's personality is. Everything in Rahma is a source of happiness for her. He was very grateful to be the owner of the heart and body of the woman.

"Thank you, Athaya wants me to ask you too, okay?"

This is one of the things Tama likes, Rahma always involves herself in everything including about Athaya. No matter how small the decision he will take is not immediately executed without first asking for his approval.

"Of course, we will take Athaya" replied Tama while embracing the wife's shoulder and did not forget to land a kiss on the wife's forehead.

"Mas ih. I have not yet bathed" slightly rebellious Rahma released her body from the embrace of the husband. After dawn he went straight to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

"Yes, then coincidentally" Tama even more tightly embraced, he even raised his eyebrows teasing Rahma.

"What coincidence? Watch out first if I want to finish this" Rahma raised both her hands holding a spatula and a plate. The husband is currently still wearing home clothes, the wall clock still shows six o'clock less meaning still free time they have before carrying out activities.

"It just so happens that I haven't had a bath either, so before our bath...."

"Eumh...." Tama did not continue his words he chose to devour pursed lips because he managed to tease.

Rahma resigned, she could not refuse. Even in the kitchen, her husband did what he wanted. Athaya who was in the house of the in-laws made Tama completely free to express what she wanted anywhere.

Both objects in Rahma's hands have been diverted by Tama without releasing her kiss, she leads the wife to their room and morning sports activities last long enough.

After being given understanding by his parents Athaya finally willing to visit Anggara. Since marriage, the boy no longer asks about his real father. If before Rahma married her son was always asking why his father never met them but after Rahma married the presence of Tama as a cure for Athaya's desire for a father figure.

It was quite difficult for Rahma to give understanding to her son in order to come to Anggara, she almost ran out of sense to give understanding to the son, but after Tama intervened, she lost her hand, without waiting long the son immediately agreed to visit Anggara who is also his parents.

"Bring promise yes!" Athaya again confirmed his agreement with the papi as a consequence of his willingness to follow his mother's invitation to visit Anggara.

"Sipp" Tama invites him to fight against the tos and is greeted with a fist full of enthusiasm Athaya, not forgetting the smile by showing a row of well-kept white teeth he did, making anyone who saw it. A body that is quite tall at the age of six years seems to be the genes of the father, while a cute face with a sweet smile persia like the mother. What a perfect blend.

"Mas, what's Athaya talking to until she wants to?" Rahma half-whispered asking her husband for fear of being heard by the son sitting in the back seat. They were in the car to the hospital where Anggara was being treated. They picked up the son at Tama's parents' residence.

"There's dech.." Tama's tease with her ignorant smile made Rahma pout her lips in annoyance.

"Don't go fishing dear" Tama teased as she glanced at the wife with her pouting face.

"What fishing? Mas who provoked a commotion" ketus Rahma who is now increasingly reluctant to express herself, happy, sad, upset everything does not hesitate to show Rahma directly in front of the husband.

"What's the matter?" asked Athaya curious, he who was studying through the iPad was disturbed.

"Mother want bobo he said?" tama replied casually with a sinless face, while Rahma immediately rounded her eyes to look at her husband with a sharp look, it could be that her husband gave a vulgar answer to the son, thought Rahma.

"Well...Mother sleepy?" Athaya stood up from her seat, leaning her head forward right next to her face with the mother she placed the back of her hand on her forehead.

"Mother's sick? Why is this clock ticking bobo again? Less bobo last night, huh? Why Mother?" in a row, the questions that Athaya conveyed were able to make the two adults speechless.

Attention and worry were clear from every sentence the little man made.

"But, can you stop for a second?" Athaya instructs and restores the consciousness of her parents who are hypnotized by Athaya's successive questions.

"I.iya.iya dear, a moment" Tama saw the situation of the road that was quite slow to make him immediately pull over his car.

"Mother's sick?" back focus Athaya on the Mother, now both hands cupped the face of the mother who had tilted her body towards Athaya.

"Hummmm..sadly Mother" Rahma immediately removed her seatbelt, she grabbed the small body that was worrying about her into her arms.

"Mother is okay baby, papi is just joking" Rahma unraveled her embrace, she kissed lovingly the forehead of the son who held her tightly.

A sense of warmth immediately spread across Tama's chest to see the intimacy of his wife and son. In the heart of thanksgiving continues to be said, how happy he is to have two different generations of people in front of him now.

"Mother do not lack of sleep, mother must rest enough so as not to get sick" said Athaya again who still looks very worried about the state of the bundaanya.

"Dear baby, get enough rest. Mother was not sick, papi was just joking" repeated Rahma again explained hoping the son was calm again.

"really? If our mother is sick, we can't go to see her father" the worry is still evident on the boy's face, he again cupped the two cheeks of the mother.

"Right, you're not sick, you're healthy, aren't you Pi?" Rahma asks for support from her husband, because as before Athaya will be sure if the papi has spoken.

"Here baby..." Tama stretched out his hands, he had already removed his seatbelt and changed his sitting position.

Tama hugged her beloved son tightly, she also kissed the top of the son's head full of tenderness.

"Thank you for worrying so much, Papi is proud of you. But from now on you do not worry, papi will take care of the mother and make sure the mother is fine" said Tama soothing, proved a sweet smile re-engraved on the handsome face of the son.

"Thank you papi, I believe papi will take good care of your mother" Athaya said as if she had grown up making Tama and Rahma more anxious and the three embraced with a happy laugh together.

The distance of the hospital that is not too far from where their car stops makes them not too long to drive after a happy family drama was created.

Ten minutes later the car that Tama was driving had reached the hospital parking lot where Anggara was treated.

The three people who had been waiting for his presence walked hand in hand to the nursery where Anggara who had been informed by Friska through a message sent earlier this morning.

"Mother, will you remember me?" athaya's question suddenly made the three stop the move,

Rahma looked at Tama as if asking for help to be able to give the right answer.

"Sure son, I will definitely remember you. Even if he forgot it because he was very ill. So as a child who is sholeh has become Thaya's duty to pray for the father yes" at length Rahma gave an explanation that is also accepted by Tama.

"Whatever your father's circumstances, Thaya must still love and respect him. Do not stop praying for him because Allah must have heard every do'a of His servant" Tama said chiming in to make Athaya more calm.

"Thaya dear father, Thaya wants father healed, although all this time father rarely met Thaya but Thaya believes the same mother and father if the father also loves Thaya" again the little boy made two adults who are now squatting to align their height back speechless to hear his speech

"Ohappily, whatever the circumstances of filial piety to parents still have to do" Tama's advice to his son continued,

"Well papi, Thaya also love papi, dear mother also" again the novelty enveloped, the three re-hugged and continued their steps with each other tightly.
