Arabelle And Clarissa

Papa's departure

That night Luna prayed with tears in her eyes. Little Abel cried with sadness. He simply asked God to heal his father. He wants to play with his dad again. Papa loved her so much.

Because too tired, the body of little Abel sleeps. Suddenly someone woke him up.

" Abel... Abel baby, let's get up.

Abel awoke, rubbing his eyes, trying to see who woke him.

" Pope...

Abel hugged his father tightly.

" Papa's healed... Thank God, God has heard Abel's prayer.

Papa smiles.

" Papa. sorry Abel. Because Abel papa got hurt.

" Ng pa-pa, baby. It wasn't your fault.

" Papa. Let's play.

" Come...

They both played together happily. Until Abel was tired.

" Papa, Abel is tired. Abel's going to bed, Abel's going to school tomorrow.

" Yes, honey. You are bobo..

Abel must remember Papa will take care of Abel during his time.

The next morning, she woke Abel up.

" Bell. wake up baby. It's noon.

Abel wakes up and looks for his father.

" Mama. papa mana.

" Look, papa's still in the hospital. This mama has to go there.

" Papa's coming home, ma. Papa came home last night and played with Abel. Abel immediately moved from his room to his parents' room.

" Papa. papa. Maybe papa's taking a shower. Papa.

" Abel. Last night you had a dream to see papa huh.

Abel was silent.

" But ma. It was a dream. Abel actually saw papa coming home.

Luna immediately bathed Abel and prepared everything Abel needed.

" Abel, Mama's going to the hospital. You're at Aunt Siska's house yes, you can play with brother Dito.

" But Abel wants to see papa, ma.

" Later if papa has realized then mama invite you there. In the hospital a lot of germs, not good for small children.

Luna left Abel with her neighbor.

" Siska Ma'am, sign Abel yes. Sorry troublesome. All Abel's needs are in the bag.

" Ng pa-pa, Luna. You just focus on Hengky, let my Abel take care.

" Thank you, ma'am.

Luna immediately went to the hospital, there was Daniel, Jonathan and Joshua who had been guarding Hengky from last night.

" Okay, sorry. That was Abel first.

" Ng pa-pa, ma'am.

" This is breakfast for you.

" Thank you, mbak.

" The mother thanked you.

" Oh, yeah mbak. Every night we would take turns staying here. So maybe Luna can take care of Abel.

" Thank you again, I can't repay you.

" Everyone mbak.

Shortly thereafter his church pastor, Mr. Silas and his mother came with several congregations.

" Luna..how is Hengky today.

" I haven't seen a doctor today, sir.

" Abel where, Lun.

" I picked up a neighbor, ma'am.

The doctor came too.

" Can talk to Mr. Hengky's family.

" Yes dong.

Luna immediately entered the neurologist's room with Mr. Silas and his wife.

" Dok, how's my husband.

" Mother's husband should be in surgery right away. Because there's a freeze at the base of his brain. The possibility of recovery is also very small, if the patient is aware it will experience permanent paralysis. But if not immediately done the action will be fatal.

" A little over a hundred million. Please ask the administration.

" Okay, doc. Thank ye. I will discuss with my family first.

" Good ma'am, I'm waiting for the news soon.

They also came out of the room.

Luna could only cry, Maria's mother and Silas' wife hugged Luna. Mr. Silas called someone immediately.

Shortly afterwards Mr. Silas returned with good news.

" Luna.

" Praise God...

Mr. Silas immediately took care of his administration. The operation will be carried out this afternoon.

Suddenly the doctor ran into the ICU room where Hengky was treated. Luna was surprised and anxious.

" What is this Sus...

" Anfal patient ma'am.

" What's...

Luna ran into the ICU room, arriving at the door of the nurse immediately forbade her.

" Sorry mom, wait outside. The doctor is treating the patient.

Luna, Mr. Silas, Ms. Maria and several other congregations were waiting at the door of the ICU.

" How is this mom... Luna was crying again.

" Patience to Lun, let's leave it to Him.

" Luna, we pray. What's best for Hengky, that's what happened.

A few minutes later the doctor came out.

" I'm sorry Mom, we tried our best but everything was His will.

" What doctor means...

" Mister Hengky has faced that power.

At that moment Luna fainted.

" Please, take it to the ER Sus..

" Yes, doc.

" Dok, we can take care of Mr. Hengky's body.

" Please sir, go directly to admin only.

Mr. Silas immediately contacted the relevant sections in the church, funeral home and all other necessities.

The next night there was a box-close service. Luna and her parents and little Abel were sitting next to the chest.

Abel cried bitterly.

" Papa. Let's play with Abel.

All the people who were there wept at seeing Abel. Mary's mother immediately embraced Abel and calmed him down.

" Abel... Abel dear papa.

" Yes aunty.

" If Abel loves you, let your father go to meet the Lord Jesus. One day papa will pick up Abel and mama with him.

Abel just nodded even though he did not understand the words of aunt Maria.

After the funeral, Luna and the family returned home to befriend Mr. Silas and Ms. Maria.

" Luna, you must be strong for Abel.

" Yes, Sir. Thank you very much for the kindness of Mr. Silas and Ms. Maria who have helped so far.

" It is my duty as pastor. If you need anything, don't hesitate to talk to us.

" Yes Sir.

" And here is a check worth a hundred million given by a donor. The money was for Hengky's operating expenses, but now use it for your and Abel's needs.

" Thank you again, sir.

" I'll excuse you.

After Mr. Silas and Maria's mother came home, Luna discussed with her parents about her steps forward.

" Sir, now Luna has to.

" Do you want to go home, nduk.

" But in the village Luna can not work and in school very far. Kasian Abel, he wants to go to school.

" You're here. You can find a job and Abel can go to school. Mom will accompany you here for a while. How Mr.

" Yes, that's good too. Father agreed.
