CURTAINS OF THE PAST

CURTAINS OF THE PAST
LIKE A BABY BORN INTO THE WORLD



Until that night, Iffah was still asleep while hugging her husband on a bed that was only intended for one patient only.


All of their families have been waiting with feelings for them.


Ghali, Bobi and Chellin were already standing staring at the haru scene before them.


Although the doctor knew about it, the doctor let Iffah sleep there. The doctor waited for them for a while.


When our medical personnel were about to conduct an examination this afternoon, he was also shocked by this sight. Our medical personnel even want to open the patient's wife and ask her to immediately rest at home. However, our medical personnel saw the patient shed his tears.


Without a second thought, our medical staff called me to do a live examination. I didn't believe this at first, but the power of their love has done wonders to patients. Even the patient can move his fingers for a moment.


The planned stimulation that the patient's wife has done from the beginning of her coma, can awaken the patient from his coma situation.


We also need to say’a to Him so that our hope for patients is fulfilled.


Silent…


Chellin strongly embraced Bobi with hope in his heart at the time, looking at Toni who was lying weakly there. He hoped that the power of love that the doctor spoke of would be able to bring his son back.


The possibilities that the doctor told them, made them not want to move from there.


They want to keep waiting until anytime, like Iffah who fell asleep there.


They want to see Toni they open her eyes like a baby born into the world.


On a beautiful park bench. Toni was sitting with Bram at the time. They seemed to be laughing while having a warm conversation there. They had not been together for a long time, even since he had not known his affinity.


“Until when will you stay here with Papa, Ton?” Bram asked as he looked at her with warmth.


“For as long as possible, Pa.” Toni answered really. Not a single bit of hesitation appeared on his face.


“Then what about your daughter, Milka? Ah my grandson that..” Ask Bram again.


“There was Kemil his father, Pa. Toni won't doubt it.” His mouth again with a smile.


“But he misses you so much, Ton.” Bram believes Toni.


“What is it, Pa?” Toni felt the shock of hearing her daughter also miss her.


“It's not just your daughter. Your wife is already so skinny waiting for your return to them, son.” Said Bram while grabbing Toni's shoulder. “Come back to them. With papa, someday you will meet papa back.” Persuade Bram.


(I beg you, for whatever reason, get up.) The voice of Iffah made Toni stand up from her seat. Her cheek feathers bristled at hearing a voice not so unfamiliar to her back then. He held onto his chest which felt heavy at that moment.


Toni went around looking for the origin of the sound that made her want to go there, until a light came to dazzle her eyes at that time.


“Toni... My son..” Chellin cried to approach his son up close, when his vision found Toni's eyes twitching little by little.


“Let the Doctor check it first, Ma.” Hold Bobi while pressing his hold onto Chellin's body.


Ghali's face seemed sparkling to find his brother-in-law had begun to wake up at that time.


After the doctor checked, I don't know what he said to Bobi before he came out of the room.


“Ma-maa... Pa-paa...” Call Toni when she just woke up. Her tears were dripping back on the edges of her eyes.


“Iya, son. Mama and Papa are here baby.” Chellin said with tears pouring down.


There was nothing happiest for them at the time but the return of Toni from her coma for months.


Toni brushed her smile towards Ghali who was crying happily looking at herself in the corner of her bed.


wide in front of him.


Iffah immediately came down from the top of the patient's bed and retreated a few steps from there. Many times he rubbed his eyes to make sure what he saw was not just a dream.


Toni moved her head little by little to look at the wife she missed so much, and always missed. He slowly tried to raise his heavy hand after a long time


drooping in his bed. He stretched out his hand to Iffah while brushing a smile on his pale lips.


Wherever you try to run and disappear, you will never be separated from your taqdir…


Like taqdirku.  Loving you always, whether consciously or unconsciously...


I'll just keep waiting for you, until you've established your heart just for me. And release the shadow of the past that continues to be in your arms…


I once thought, it would be better for me to let you go. Someone I expected, but kept embracing the shadow of his past…


Because I had felt a deadly heartbreak at that time, it was just that my faith was in you…


I know, this is selfish of you, but one thing has to be.


you know, I've never used you with my ambition to love me other than


from waiting…


I remember that day you asked me. (Help me to be a good teacher, I want to go to heaven with you. And don't let go of my hand if I choose the wrong path later on).


And I'm trying to do that.


Seeing that it was not a dream, Iffah smiled with tears that had flooded her cheeks. He immediately grabbed the hand of Toni who was waiting for his hand. Many times she kissed the back of her husband's hand.


“I'm sorry.. I'm sorry, Antoni. I was wrong..” He said on the sidelines of his crying.


“I'm fine isn't it?, so don't cry anymore.” Pinta Toni slowly.


Iffah ran to embrace Chellin who was opposite her.


“Mama, Antoni we are back..” Excited with pleasure. “Pah...” Iffah turned to Bobi after releasing his embrace from Chellin. Bobi smiled with moist eyes while gently stroking the head of Iffah covered with his waist veil.


“Ghali... Look, your sister-in-law is back, Dek.” Iffah shouted excitedly as he approached Ghali. Ghali nodded as he rubbed his wet cheeks rough. He was stunned to see the happy smile of his brother who had lost several months.


“Close... Why does everyone stay away from me?” Toni's murmur. Chellin and Bobi laughed at it. They immediately approached, and hugged their long-voiced Toni.


Ye know? Even though you're back, this miss doesn't want to be lost from my heart. He's used to being here.


And you know what? I am so happy right now, I want to cheer and tell the whole world that my Antony is back.


Thank you, Rabb…
