Hanif Sick



Time passed, without feeling almost a month of sluggish Hana and Hanif lived with Agam. For a month Tika always resisted the longing for her two children. Tika could only meet them. In the morning when they go to school. Or the afternoon when they're going home from school. Tika could not meet her two children at the house of Agam. Both of her parents forbid Tika to come.


These few days, Tika had not seen Hana and Hanif. Tika is out of town. There was a problem with one of the projects he was working on. So Tika has to go out of town. Tika had permission on Hana and Hanif. Tika tells them to bring gifts when she meets them. With a mature attitude Hana and Hanif nodded. They refused a gift from Tika. It was only Tika's arrival that they expected.


"Games!" yelling at her mother, Agam ran towards Hana and Hanif's room. It just so happened that Agam's mother was in Hana and Hanif's room.


Agam's mother was going to call them to dinner. Since morning Hana and Hanif had no appetite for food. Hanif's face was pale, while Hana was a little lethargic. Top tonight they're not down, for dinner. With anxious feelings, Agam's mother headed for the twins' room. Check what happened to them.


"Mr…!" hanif groaned with a trembling body clutching the blanket. Hana hugged Hanif's body tightly. Hana tries to warm Hanif who has a fever. Agam's mother was hysterical to see her two unwell grandchildren. It just so happens that Hana and Hanif's nanny are returning home. As a result they lived alone with Agam's mother at home.


Agam ran towards Hana and Hanif's room. When he heard his mother's scream. I was worried that something dangerous might happen. Because without thinking it will fall. Running without direction. Agam opened the door of Hana and Hanif's room hard. His mind was very chaotic in fear of something happening to Hana or Hanif.


"Hanif, why do you love?" said Agam worried. Agam saw Hanif's body shivering in the cold, but when Agam touched Hanif's forehead it felt very hot. Sontak Agam is restless to see Hanif has a fever.


Both of Hanif's eyes were tightly closed. Only occasionally did Hanif sound calling Tika. While Hana curled up beside Hanif. Hana hugged Hanif very tightly while crying. Hana's cry further frustrated Agam. I saw his two hearts lying helpless. There was a sense of pain in Agam's heart. When his ears heard Hanif's moaning. It wasn't her that Hanif and Hana needed but Tika.


"Darling, my mom is coming. Papa will call mom. Hanif now take the medicine first!" agam said, Hanif was silent about Agam's words. Agam's mother was increasingly anxious to see the condition of Hanif.


Only a groan was spelled out from Hanif's tiny lips. His weak hand held tightly to the blanket. Between conscious and unconscious, Hanif only called out to Tika. Agam's mother was increasingly anxious, when she saw Hanif's body that began to turn blue.


"Game, we can't take care of him at home. Hanif must be taken to the hospital immediately. You don't need to call Tika. We can take care of Hanif alone without Tika's help!" said Agam's mother, Agam immediately carried Hanif. Hana walked behind Agam. He followed Papa and Hanif by continuing to cry.


Half an hour later, Agam arrived at the hospital. He immediately took Hanif to the IGD room. Hana continued to cry seeing Hanif who started to fall asleep unconscious. Agam tried to calm Hana down by holding her. But his efforts were in vain, Agam could not calm Hana. She keeps crying even though Agam says Hanif is fine. Agam had contacted Tika, even though Tika was actually out of town.


Nearly an hour later, Hanif was treated in the IGD room. The doctor came out explaining to Agam. If Hanif has typhoid. Hanif's condition has passed through a critical period. He could be transferred to the inpatient room. Agam has reserved a 1st class inpatient room. Agam just wanted Hanif to get a much better service.


"Hana!" call Tika, immediately Agam turned to look at Tika. Instead of greeting her, Tika instead called Hana.


"How's Hanif? Where is he now?" tika said coldly, without looking towards Agam. The sound of Agam's breath. Tika's disappointment was clearly visible. There is no love left for her now.


Agam looked at Tika who ignored him. Tika's affection was no longer for her. Except for Hana and Hanif. Perhaps the priest will lead him. But the priest is not Agam.


"Hanif has typhus, he's already gone through a critical period. So he'll be transferred to a regular ward. We can see him in a minute!" agam said, Tika nodded slowly to the sign she understood.


Agam's mother approached Tika and Agam. His hand reached out to take Hana from Tika's sling. But Hana's tiny hand brushed it off rough. Agam's mother was flabbergasted to see Tika's rejection. He tried a second time, but still Hana brushed him off. When Agam's mother tried for the third time. It was not Hana's hand that brushed her off, but Tika's hand that brushed her off this time. Tika violently throws the hand of Agam's mother. Instead, Agam just kept silent to see Tika and her mother struggling.


"I am the mother who gave birth to her, it is not worth fighting over Hana with me. If you are talking about rights. I'm much more entitled to Hana and Hanif, not your son. Let Hana stay with me. It's not enough that Hanif is sick, because your selfishness forbids him from meeting me. Now you want to see Hana get sick by forcing her away from me!" said Tika coldly, Agam took a few steps back. He was stunned to hear Tika's words.


"Not to be surprised, your mother never let me meet Hana and Hanif. All this time I've been quiet, not protecting your relationship with your mother. I quietly swallowed the cruel attitude of your mother. So you can see Hana and Hanif's pain. But it seems like my attitude is wrong, you are still Agam who can never see the reality!" tika said to Agam. Agam's mother was inflamed, she was angry to hear bad words about him. Even though what Tika said was not a lie. It's all true.


"You talk, my son is not what you're accusing him of. You're the one who never realized your arrogance. You threw away my son, because you have your family's treasure. We are far below your family, but my pride is not that cheap. So that you can make my son's Agam submit!" agam's mother said, Tika shook her head weakly.


After all these years, only treasure has always been a problem in the Agam and Tika families. The thought of her mother who is shallow, makes Tika have to swallow the bitterness of her marriage. Tika is always wrong and blamed for being born to a family much richer than Agam.


"It doesn't matter who is right or wrong between you? Hanif's health is much more important. You better shut up, if you can't help heal Hanif!" said Agam, immediately Tika smiled cynically.


"You never change, always choose to be in the position you think you are comfortable in. Are you someone who is too wise or cowardly? Only you can judge it!" said Tika lirih, then walked away from Agam. Hana remains in Tika's arms. No more sounds of crying. Only occasionally Hana hiccups.


"Om Dirga!" shouted Hana, while struggling down. He ran towards Dirga, shortly after he got down from Tika's sling.


Agam and his mother were pensive to see Hana's closeness to Dirga. The warmth of Dirga at that time, still imprinted in Hana's memory. Dirga's sincere affection makes Hana feel comfortable and protected.


"Dirgantara Eka Mahendra, the man I just met. If you think he's none other than me. Go ahead, you deserve to think. One thing I'm sure to say. He is a man who values women. Not just want to have a woman. He knows when his hands should move around and embrace, to protect. Or when his hands are silent, to not interfere. Not like your son who never knows when he must fight or wait for fate? Look at Hana, she can feel Dirga's sincerity. Young children can see genuine affection or affection that only wants to be stroked!" tika said to Agam's mother.
