Chapter 6. Marry Again?
When Ayu was four years old, she was sick. Teguh was confused because despite checking Ayu to the village midwife but the heat did not subside. He doesn't want anything bad to happen to his daughter.
"Mak.. Ayu is still hot. Semalem even did not sleep, crying ask for a hold." The light was firmly on her mother who came to visit her grandson.
Teguh's mother held Ayu, touching her forehead which turned out to be hot. "Bring to Guh puskesmas. Fear of dengue fever."
Firmly nodded. "Mak.. I want to sell that rickshaw." Teguh said after replacing Ayu's clothes, preparing to go to the health center for treatment.
"Why is it sold? If you make a check Ayu only mother there is a little money. You don't have to sell your rickshaw. The rickshaw part is not all this time that helps you find money, later if sold you want to work what?"
"If remembered again.. The rickshaw also had many memories. When Ayu was born until Nur did not exist, the rickshaw had an important role. Don't you love Guh?" Furthermore, the mother who is now back carrying Ayu with a sling. Unquietest.
"We take Ayu first to the puskesmas. Trouble selling rickshaws will be talked about later. Cah ayu same mbah yes, check yuk let cepet heal." Ayu just silently leaned her head on her mbah uti.
After Nur's departure, Teguh became quiet. Rarely talking, he can only smile and talk a lot when with Ayu alone. Teguh's parents hoped Teguh could continue life by looking for a replacement for Nur but it was always Teguh ignored. Not wanting to continue to interfere in the affairs of his son, Teguh's mother and father finally let Teguh live life as a widower.
"You remarry Guh, and it is also for Ayu's good. Someone takes care of your time at work. Someone takes care of you with Ayu. If you think that you yourself are confused, metered, between the cooperation of momong. Not to mention that Ayu is sick with gini. You can't work." Said Uncle Teguh, the sister of his mother.
"I didn't marry you to find a maid. Nur is no longer here with us but, there is no intention for me to find a replacement." Firm and steady is what Teguh said to answer his uncle's proposal.
"All right, whatever. Eating is still Monday when you think of the feeling of everything! Speaking of you for a long time my stress! I go home first, it's a little money for Ayu to buy her own snacks."
Uncle Steady came home. Again like that, his family told him to get married. Actually not something that is difficult to do but for Teguh besides his heart has been imprinted on Nur, he just wants his attention to Ayu alone. By marrying again means he will share his attention to his new wife later, and it does not want Teguh do. Moreover, the morat-marit economy does not allow to marry again, right said his uncle.
Ayu was treated at the puskesmas. Again Teguh's heart felt pain, he calmed Ayu who continued to cry after being placed on the infusion. Such a small hand several times had to be pricked by a needle to find a vein. Ayu continued to thrash and could not be silent therefore the medics were a little tired when performing the infusion.
"The mother was very patient, from earlier her son was carried on. Where is his mother, who is not his mother?" Ask someone who has been watching Teguh and Ayu. He was a family of other patients who came to visit at the time.
Teguh initially did not want to answer the questions of the mothers who asked him. But he finally opened his voice. "His mother was calm in her mother's realm" The short answer that was responded to by her apology and condolences afterwards.
"Mr.." Ayu whined back.
"Dalem cah ayu, what do you want? Eat huh? Let the spit heal, can spit it home." Persuade Patient.
"Well I want to be with mom, hyks.. I want mom.." Crying became.
With a fan from bamboo called ilir, Teguh fanned Ayu. Wiping her child's tears, gently rubbed the small back until Ayu fell asleep. Teguh plan to lay Ayu on the bed. Face lowered. I can be sure she was crying.

Sholawat most often Nur mengandungkan if Ayu can not sleep, now slowly but still can be heard Teguh sing for Ayu. Although not as loud as Nur's voice, the sholawat chant managed to take Ayu to dreamland.
The mothers continued to watch Teguh, his heart pity. Somehow his tears escaped just hearing Teguh sholawat.
"Mas.. Who is patient, I even cry gini see mas same grandpa." Said the mother while wiping her tears with the end of the clothes she was wearing. Steady just nod. Not overreacting.
Teguh's mother who is still there also pity to see her children and grandchildren so lost the figure of Nur. It seems so clear and real love Teguh for Nur. It hasn't changed, it's still the same as when Nur was around.
"Guh, you eat first.. Let mak change you take care of Ayu."
"Later on mak. Not hungry yet."
Firmly put aside his hunger, all he had in mind was Ayu's recovery. It is like that after becoming a parent, will always prioritize their children. Feel many times whatever the child feels, when the child laughs happily.Just by looking at the crisp laughter of the child, parents will certainly be happy too. Similarly, when the child is sad, seeing the cry of the heart of any parent must come with grief.
