Beautiful Tailor

Diagnosis

The morning sun had appeared from the east, the light was entering illuminating Pak Syabani's hospital room.

Last night after Fadly said she wanted to help Tari with her father's hospital fees. Without a second thought, Tari accepted the offer and agreed. Because right now he is in desperate need of money. Dance will pay that money once a month. It has not been ascertained the amount to be paid every month, which is clear Fadly does not want to burden Tari.

Finally, Mr. Syabani was referred to the hospital. It is a long way away, an hour and a half drive from the house where they live. Because that's the nearest hospital that is quite said to be a big hospital.

With Fadly's car which of course Andi brought them to take Mr. Syabani to the hospital. Nine o'clock in the night they arrived at the hospital.

That night also carried out a thorough physical examination, a complete blood examination, and because Mr. Syabani also coughed, then also done chest X-ray photos.

Since last night Fadly accompanied Dance. It's not hearty to leave Tari alone to look after her father. Andi was sent home by Fadly.

Then his stepmother, after borrowing money from Fadly without the knowledge of Tari, his stepmother was no longer seen in the clinic where her father was treated.

Finally Tari left his father in the afternoon because Tari will go home to take his father's savings. Then when he returned the night his mother had gone not knowing where.

Fadly was very attentive to Tari, not only did he help Mr. Syabani's hospital expenses, he also accompanied Tari overnight. Help Tari take care of all the necessary needs of Mr. Syabani and Tari during his stay in the hospital for a few days.

His attention to Dance made Dance a misbehavior. Because Dance had never been close to men before except for Sandi.

That morning he invited the rice-seated breakfast dance, they both ate in the hospital canteen. While Mr. Syabani has breakfast, because patients who are hospitalized in the hospital get rations from the hospital and nutrition is also arranged by the medics at the hospital.

That's all Fadly did out of pity with Dance. Because he saw Dance alone. No one helped and accompanied him. Dancing is a strong and tough girl.

But a different feeling was felt by Dance. He was so happy to be next to Fadly. Even looking at her face, Tari was happy. He felt happy, he felt loved by the figure of a man other than his father, and whether the taste of what was in his heart when he was next to his handsome neighbor, he could not interpret it.

After they finished breakfast, Fadly decided to go home.

***

The next day...

After the results of the blood test and the results of the chest X-ray photo finished the doctor told Tari that the diagnosis of his father's disease was TB (Tuberculosis).

Doctors explain that pulmonary tuberculosis or pulmonary TB is a disease of the respiratory system that attacks the organs of the lungs caused by the bacterial infection Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

TB can be transmitted through the air.

Therefore the doctor suggested that Dance and who live in one house with Mr. Syabani should also be examined to find out whether or not infected.

Then the doctor told Mr. Syabani that he had to take medicine for 6 months.

"Mbak Tari as a child should also remind you not to forget to take this medicine every day for 6 months. Do not stop, if stopped I will give the drug in a longer period of time can be up to 9 months. Understand yes!" the doctor explained in detail.

Feeling Mixed Dance. Now he knows the illness his father suffered. You cannot say that TB disease is a mild disease. But he hopes that by taking drugs every day given by doctors for six months his father can recover completely.

After the doctor came out of her father's hospital room, Tari got a phone call.

Because in that room there were many other patients, not just his father, so he felt bad to have to take a call in the room.

Because the room where Mr. Syabani is treated is a third-class room. That's the will of Dance. It does not matter his room for him, the most important thing is to know his father's disease and the doctor immediately gave the right medication and treatment.

"Sir, Dance get a call outside for a minute sir!" he asked his father for permission.

Immediately after getting a nod of his head from his father, he walked out of the room.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Dance," said someone from across the phone.

From her voice, Dari knew who she was. Ms. Salma, one of the loyal customers used her services to sew clothes.

"Wa'alaikumsalam, ma'am salma," replied Tari gently.

"How is your father doing, is he better?" ask Miss Salma

"Oh, Thank God. Look Tari, the clothes that you want to sew on you will want you to wear for the day after tomorrow. Now you can't go home, you have to bring your father. I don't mind anyway, I don't mean you make sewing mother's clothes. But you want to take the ingredients, okay? let me sew it to another tailor. Because the clothes really want mom to wear the day after tomorrow," said customer Tari dialed the phone.

Dari was a little disappointed, but because this was all his fault that could not finish the stitches in time, then Tari did not want to make the customer was disappointed.

He decided to go home for a while to give the fabric that will be sewn but void it to the owner again.

He promised to get to his sewing stall within an hour and a half, because it was very far from the hospital to the area where Tari lived. The customer agreed to meet at the sewing kiosk owned by Tari.

After the two agreed to make an appointment, Ms. Salma repeatedly apologized to Dari for not sewing her clothes with her.

So that makes Tari become sad, because in this case he is the one who does not keep his promise. Eventually, the two of them cut off their phone lines.

Dari stepped into her father's hospital room again to say goodbye because he was going home. When he got to the door, someone called him back. This time it was from Bu Hanifa, the 'richest man' in his hometown who called him.

"Hal -" he had not had time to speak, but had been cut by Bu Hanifa.

"Tari, you are, always not on time. How's my shirt? must not have finished you stitch?" Ms. Hanifa spoke in a rather high tone.

"Sorry mom, my dad is sick. Now that I'm in the hospital, the shirt's still a week away, don't you want me to wear it?" say Dance politely.

"Continue because I'm wearing it in a week so you can relax? not yet fittings again, if the clothes do not fit how?" said Ms. Hanifa again with a high tone.

"Definitely comfortable" again his words were cut off Bu Hanifa.

"All right, I'll just take the fabric of my shirt. I just want to sew it into a professional Taylor," he explained arrogantly.

Dance had been used to hearing Bu Hanifa's arrogant words, therefore she was not surprised but still a little emotional.

He also promised that with Bu Hanifa he would reach his sewing stall and return the fabric for about an hour and a half.

He went back into his father's hospital room. To say goodbye because he's coming home.

After the journey of an hour and a half he passed, he finally arrived and was immediately greeted by Ms. Salma who was waiting in front of the stall. There's not much they talk about, Ms. Salma just took the fabric, then she said goodbye.

While Tari is still waiting for Bu Hanifa because he will also take the fabric.

But after thirty minutes waiting for Bu Hanifa never came. Because Tari could not leave her father alone in the hospital room for long, she decided to take the cloth material belonging to Bu Hanifa to her home.

When she arrived in front of Ms. Hanifa's house, Tari knocked on the door. Ms. Hanifa herself opened the door.

"Assalamu'alaikum, this is the fabric of ma'am. I was waiting for my mother at my stall, but my mother did not come so I came here to deliver," Tari said while handing over a paper bag containing cloth material belonging to Ms. Hanifa.

"Indeed I deliberately did not come, let you deliver on purpose," replied Ms. Hanifa.

Indeed, Tari is not a patient girl, she also wants to reply to the words of the sinless Ms. Hanifa. But considering that Ms. Hanifa is a loyal customer who always uses her services to sew clothes, Tari stemmed her emotions a little.

"Why don't you just call me let me come straight here, so I didn't wait long. I waited for my mother for half an hour. And I couldn't leave my father for long alone in the hospital, afraid of why-why father," Dance chimed in with a bit of emotion.

"Here you are, wait a half hour. Don't you forget that you once let my son wait for you for days? and not once, but up to three times," replied Ms. Hanifa who was no less emotional.

Dance only beristighfar many times in her heart so that her emotions do not overflow. It's always like this when you talk to Ms. Hanifa. Always bring up massalalu.
