"Mas.... How ?"
lyvia asked as her husband returned to her son's hospital room.
"It's been...Prima's keeping it." he replied.
"Mama..Mama should go home first, let Lyvia take care of her son."
Mama did look tired, ever since she received news of Al being injured.
According to what Adrian suggested. His old body was no longer able to linger awake. Mama came home with Adrian who happened to have to go home first to get a change of clothes and supplies for Al in the hospital.
"Dad." cried Maira when her father and Oma came home.
"Assalamu'alaikum dear."
"Wa'alaikum.... Brother Al where is Yah ?"
"Sister is still in the hospital Nak, help do'a yes.so that Brother is healed soon."
"Yes Well."
After cleaning himself and preparing what needed to be taken, Adrian rushed back to the hospital.
"Maira ?"
"Yes Well."
"Maira's fine with Oma at home huh...Dad wants to go back to the hospital, nemenin Mommy is waiting for Brother who is being treated."
"Yes dad..."
"Assalamu'alaikum."
"Wa'alaikumsalam."
Arriving at the hospital, Adrian accidentally finds Lyvia crying on the edge of her son's bed who is sound asleep.
"Dear."
Adrian's voice surprised him.
"Mas has come."
"Why ?"
"Gakpapa Mas." she answered while wiping away the remaining tears on her cheeks.
"Don't lie to Lyvia."
Lyvia vented her emotions with tears in her husband's arms.
"What are you crying about ?"
"Don't know Mas.I feel like I failed to educate our son" he said lirih.
"Sstttt. Al delinquency is the same as the delinquency of children who are in their teens in general."
"Yes Mas.but, I miss the sweet Al first." he lamented.
"Honey.let Al look for his identity, we as parents just have to observe and support the best things according to him."
In terms of educating a boy, Adrian is wiser. Unlike a mother who prioritizes compassion in educating a child.
"Yes..."
again the voice of his son was heard in the middle of the discussion they were having.
"Yes dear...Al is awake ? Mommy help me wipe and change clothes huh ?"
Al nodded, Lyviaun started cleaning and helped her change clothes.
"Good afternoon ?" greet a nun who brought lunch along with medicine for Al.
"Sus Afternoon."
"Well..it's fresh, brother, eat a lot so that it heals soon huh ? it's Bun's medicine, it'll be given after the meal."
"Yes Sus.. thanks."
Al began to take bribes after bribes given by his mother. His eyes looked down. I don't know what he saw, which was obvious he didn't dare look his father in the eye.
"Take the medicine and get some rest ?"
Again he just gave the code with a nod of the head.
Lyvia kissed her son's forehead before going to bed.
"Yes..."
"Hmmmmm..."
Lyvia approached her husband who was working on something with his laptop in the waiting room of her son's inpatient room.
"It looks like Al's afraid of it."
"Yes.from that moment I observed that he did not want to look at me." he replied.
"Not really.could be the guilt arises because it has disappointed both parents."
What Adrian said is true too. Al has never done anything to shame the family.
"We wait for him to calm down, let Prima ask him tomorrow."
"Yes, it's."
"It's night, you should also rest."
"Oya Mas.I forgot to call Maira."
"It's been over 21:00, maybe she's asleep. Tomorrow morning, you check before you go to school."
Lyvia approached her son and slept on a special cot for the patient waiting provided by the hospital.
He chanted short sleep letters to his son. Although Lyvia was a little disappointed by what had happened, for her Al was still her sweet son first.
***
"Morning spirit Brother."
greet the sisters who as usual carry out their duties to check Al's health condition.
There was a slight improvement, which was just a nod that he gave, this time accompanied by such a sweet smile.
This morning, during the doctor's examination...Al accompanied by his father. Lyvia was outside the room to contact the house person, checking the preparation of Maira's school.
"Maira... remember the message Mother yes, do not go home alone before Mr. To come to pick up." the message is repeated.
"Yes Mother."
"Yes, be careful on the road, son..."
"Assalamu'alaikum.." greet some students in Junior High School uniform to Lyvia.
Maybe these are Al's friends who are coming over.
"Wa'alaikum..."
They approached Lyvia and kissed Lyvia on the back of her hand one by one.
Girls guys are all friendly and polite. Lyvia hoped her son would do the same when outside the house.
"We're Al's first class mates.. How's Al Bunda doing ?" ask one of them as the opening word.
"Alhamdulillah...Al's better, let's get you inside." replied Via delivering them in
"Assalamu'alaikum Al" he said almost simultaneously.
"Wa'alaikumsalam." replied Al a little embarrassed.
Never before had he been sick and looked at his friend like this.
Adrian and Lyvia leave them inside. Lyvia had a conversation with one of Al's girl friends, she asked how Al's attitude in school so far.
"Al either Bun... has never spoken rudely or troublemaked, he is also smart, so we were shocked when we heard Al fighting with other school students" he commented earlier.
Indeed, all this time his son was one of the outstanding students. Although sometimes he is indifferent when at home but he always makes his parents proud.
Not long after making sure that his friend was healthy, they immediately say goodbye. Because the schedule must not be more than 30 minutes, especially with a lot of groups.
"Thank you for visiting Al."
"Mother Together.may Al get well soon and go back to school."
"Aamiin's."
SMP is the most beautiful time. At the time of Junior High, Lyvia also met Adrian and they never thought that that was her match.
"Al...are you well, son ?" ask Dad.
"Yes Yah.pardon Al ya Yah." he replied while shedding tears.
Adrian smiled proudly at his son's words. That was the real knight, willing to apologize and dare to admit his mistake.
"Gakpapa.take it's a process to adolescence, but one thing I want Al to be honest about yesterday's events."
"Yes Well."
"Later Om Prima will be here, and I want Al to answer all Om Prima's questions correctly."
He nodded his head again. Lyvia simply watched their conversation. Two very important people in his heart.
"Honestly, it's better than lying, because lies will only get you later."
"Yes Well."
Al is always sweet, when given good advice Father, Mother or Omanya.
