Behind Aisha's Veil

Deaths

Meanwhile in Pesantren.

Ummi felt that her husband's health lately was not good, even though Abah said that she was fine and just catching a cold, but Ummi still felt that her husband was not healthy.

Abah continued to do activities as usual, although Ummi had asked him to rest a lot, but Abah still chose to keep moving amid his declining health condition.

Sure enough, Abah finally gave up on his health condition, this morning even he was forced to pray at dawn while lying down because he could not stand it anymore.

Ummi then called all his children, almost all of whom agreed to take Abah to the Hospital, but Abah insisted on not wanting to be taken there.

"It wants to be cared for at home, it wants to be cared for by you Abah's children."

All can not force, they then just call the doctor to check the condition of the father.

After two days.

Lela was sad to see the father who was helpless because of the pain of massaging his legs slowly. While Siti massaged her hands and occasionally wiped the sweat on Abah's forehead.

"Change. Aisha will be angry if not told" Lela said slowly.

Abah opened his eyes slowly.

"Wouldn't. She's got a busy husband to take care of."

Lela and Siti looked at.

Siti then approached Abah closer.

"Change. We know that her husband wouldn't be angry if Aisha came here and saw Abah. If we don't tell him, we can't deal with his anger later."

For a moment Abah seemed to think. In her heart Abah also actually misses Aisha very much, in the midst of her pain like this, she wishes all her children were gathered together, and only Aisha is not there beside her at the moment.

Abah then nodded his head.

Of course Lela and Siti are happy to finally get Abah's permission to tell Aisha. Lela immediately contacted her sister.

Aisha is not feeling well, after her husband goes to work she spends a lot of her time in bed.

In addition Aisha also felt a little uneasy, for some reason these two days she kept thinking about Abah, she immediately took her phone to call Ummi and ask him the news of everything.

But before she started the phone call, her older sister Lela had called her first.

And sure enough, his anxiety was answered already. Aisha is shocked to hear the news of Abah being sick. She called her husband.

On travel.

Alvian looked at his anxious wife, while driving she kept trying to calm him down.

"Is it possible because the disease is coming back?" aisha asked to look at her husband anxiously.

Alvian was silent for a moment.

"It could be yes or no. We have to do the inspection first. Therefore when we get there we should be able to persuade Abah to want to be taken to the Hospital."

Aisha held back her cries when she saw her father rolled weakly helplessly, she kissed Abah's hand several times.

Abah who sleeps, feels the presence of Aisha, she then smiles happily to see her beloved daughter has been in front of her.

"Change. Aisha is coming."

Abah nodded slowly while trying to smile, his hand trying to caress the princess' cheek.

"Change. Let's go to the hospital, Abah needs to be treated there."

Abah immediately shook his head.

"No Son. Let Abah here."

"But Abah..."

"Are you going to get this sick Abah to argue?" asked Abah with her voice trembling.

Aisha immediately cried, drowning her face in the chest of the father. He remembered that he often argued with his father.

"I'm sorry Aisha Abah." Aisha was crying.

Everyone there was crying too. No exception Ummi who sat next to her husband, she looks very sad.

Abah rubbed his daughter's head.

"You are Abah's favorite daughter. Abah is so proud of you."

Aisha did not raise her head, she kept crying on her father's chest.

Alvian and Anita who had just come to pick up medical equipment immediately approached Abah for further examination.

Aisha who was about to wake up was restrained by Abah who suddenly clasped her hand tightly, as if asking her to stay by her side.

All her sisters who saw it asked Aisha to sit back and continue to be next to Abah, they seemed to know that Aisha had always been their father's favorite child, but it does not necessarily make them jealous, because Aisha is worthy to be a favorite child.

Alvian looks desperate to see the results of Abah's examination, as well as Anita who now looks down sad.

"His blood pressure is very low" Alvian said, looking at everyone.

Avian then gave some drugs through an infusion tube, while Anita monitored Abah's heart rate on a portable heart rate monitor she carried.

Some people go to wait outside the room, now there are only Aisha and Ummi and Alvian and Anita who continue to monitor Abah's development.

Aisha continued to look at Abah's face sadly, with tears in her eyes, she continued to pray in her heart.

Alvian sat beside his wife, trying to give her the strength to stay strong and firm.

Aisha then looked at Ummi, holding her hand tightly, she forgot that the one who was most sad here was definitely her mother.

"Ummy. Insha Allah Abah will be fine" he said to comfort his mother.

Ummi did not reply he just approached his daughter closer then hugged her tightly.

Before long Zaidan appeared, after getting word that Abah was sick, he immediately came to see her.

Zaidan approached Abah and prayed for his recovery. He then went back out, to wait with the others.

A few moments later, Abah opened her eyes.

Aisha approached Abah. Ask her if her father needs anything.

Abah shook his head. He just stared fixedly at Aisha. As if he wanted to vent his longing all this time.

By trying her hardest to stay strong and not cry Aisha tried to persuade Abah to go to the Hospital.

"Change. Abah's health is not good. Abah should get treatment at the Hospital immediately."

Abah again closed in not answering, he just tightened his hand on Aisha.

Everyone had gone back into the room, they looked sad and desperate.

"Change. Why is Abah like this? Abah has to get back to health because we all still need Abah." Aisha couldn't take it anymore, she cried sobbing.

Abah opened his eyes slowly.

With a signal he asked Ahmad as well as his other children to approach him.

"My kids. Abah will not be there forever. Death will separate us. Death is the farthest thing from our minds, though in fact it is the closest of all that is close to us." Abah tried to speak even with a loud breath.

Hearing that the hearts of all his children instantly crumbled as if Abah had hinted at his passing.

"My kids. If Abah is gone. Do not grieve for too long, not tears but sincerity and prayer that Abah asks. Remember to stay true to what Abah has taught you, whatever you do. God is the goal." Abah tried to look at all his children in turn.

"My sons. Continue Abah's struggle in the religious community, remain compact and always together, Abah also entrust your mother and sisters, love and take care of them. Take care of your mother, she's my beloved wife, from her womb born you into the world, always befriend never leave her until she feels lonely later." Abah looked at Ummi.

Ummi could not help but cry, she hugged her husband while crying tears.

Abah then saw his daughters.

"My daughters. Suffering from your grief, from your sad wake, Abah has tried to be a defender, a loyal companion, caring for wounds. But if Abah is no more, no longer able to hear the groans of the heart then run towards the divine."

Abah interrupted his words by saying the name of Allah several times.

Abah saw Lela and Siti. Her tears suddenly fell

"I'm sorry Abah." Abah stinged. There is still much he wants to say but what power because now his breath feels tight.

Lela and Siti cried sobbing.

"I'm sorry Abah had to leave before seeing you two remarry and live happily" Abah said.

Abah then sees Aisha.

"Be the shield of this family. Abah calmly left your sister knowing you would take care of them and protect them."

"Remain in the commandments of Allah and keep away from His prohibition. May we all regroup in His heaven."

Abah looked back at all his children one by one while trying to smile, then he closed his eyes while continuing to mention the name of God many times.

Aisha hugged Abah again. Tears flowed from both of his eyes.

Anita and Alvian noticed that her heart rate was weakening.

Ahmad immediately approached Abah. Approaching his ears to guide him in uttering the tawhid sentence.
