Don't Take My Son

Worriedly

"Momy.I want to ride that, I want to ride that one too." Rakha runs in an indoor arena at a mall in Singapore. This place is also what used to be frequented by Kharisa when he was a child with his papa mama.

"Rakha wait." Kharisa chasing Rakha who keeps running around every vehicle. He said he wanted to ride this vehicle, but why he just ran around with a cheerful laugh.

"Rakha here, let's take a giant boat, let's go after Dady there." Kharisa saw Rafael was in a giant boat that passed at high altitude. Kharisa frowned, astonished, then looked in amazement, this was an indoor arena but why did the sky look so beautiful, blue with white clouds that dazzled his gaze. He was stunned when he remembered that he was chasing Rakha who had been running. He circulated the look for the whereabouts of his son, but he did not see it, nor did his laughter sound again. With a pounding heart he ran around every vehicle, but still he did not find Rakha there.

Where's Rakha? Where's she?

Why is this place deserted? there was not a single person there, all the rides in a stationary position, no one moved, Rafael also not seen being in a giant boat, is this place closed? Where are Rakha and Rafael? Did they go home first? But why not bring him? Kharisa looked confused, turning to the right and left hoping to find his son.

Suddenly there was the sound of laughter of a child, and Kharisa memorized it was the sound of laughter Rakha, he turned his body and there was Rakha there, sitting in a waiting chair with a woman he knew, he turned his back, she was feeding Rakha with her favorite ice cream. That's Rafael's mom.

"Racha....." Kharisa called his son as he walked over to him. But suddenly Mami Rafael stood up, holding Rakha away from her.

"Rakha.wait, let's go home." Kharisa's face turned anxious to see his son walking after Rafael's mother. Rakha only turned his head when called, still walking following the woman who had been refusing his presence all along.

"Tante wait." He shouted, while continuing to chase after him.

"Rakha this is momy.ayo we go home." He shouted again when he felt Rakha getting away even though he was also chasing after her.

"Auntie wait.....Don't take my sonuuu....."

"Astaghfirullah........" Kharisa opened his eyes, looking around him, it turned out that he was in his room, in the house where he grew up. His heart skipped a beat, with gasping breath.

It turned out to be just a dream.

"Allah is only a dream." Mumbled slowly. He sat grabbing the HP he kept on the nightstand next to his bed. He saw a clock on his HP screen that showed at 02.54, six minutes more alarm on his cellphone will sound.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing and calmed his heart thump, uttering his istigfar several times. Maybe because of his longing for Rakha he dreamed of it. But why was Rakha's dream taken away by Rafael's mother? Is this a sign? The thing he was afraid would happen? Is Rafael's family going to ask for Rakha's custody? Will take Rakha from him?

Kharisa threw away that thought, never think of it. It's just a dream, just a sleeping flower. Because he misses Rakha so much but there is also concern because it is far from Rakha. Rafael will not let his family separate Rakha from him. He rubbed his face along with the sound of an alarm on his HP.

He got out of his bed, walked to the bathroom to get water and performed the tahajud prayer.

After the dawn prayer, he tried to contact Rafael, on his HP screen already showed at five o'clock in the morning, meaning that in Singapore it was six in the morning, Rakha must have woken up.

He had contacted Rafael three times, but had not yet been appointed.

Rakha himself since last night has started to drop his fever, but still looks weak, since yesterday his appetite is lacking, it seems to be less drinking as well. But his sleep was not good, looks restless, and Rafael knew it, he was awake all night, only able to sleep past three in the morning.

With anxious feelings he was getting ready to take Rakha to the hospital, some Rakha clothes he brought, because he thought Rakha must be treated, worried about dehydration.

Her mother was persuading Rakha to eat or drink, but Rakha refused.

"My stomach hurts Oma." Speak weakly. Eventually Rafael's mother relented unable to persuade her granddaughter.

"A ready? I'll get off the car first, I'll wait in the lobby, yeah." Richan poked his head to check Rafael's readiness.

"It." Reply Rafael. Richan immediately left the apartment to the basement preparing a car that would take them to the hospital.

Right at six Rafael was holding Rakha to the lobby. While heading to the lobby HPnya stored in his pants pocket several times vibrate, a sign there is a phone call, but he ignored it, because he was holding Rakha.

Richan's car drove towards the hospital which is located not far from the apartment, just a little detour they have reached the hospital which is famous for its complete facilities and good service.

After being checked in the Raka emergency room required hospitalization, Rafael agreed. Was shocked when he saw the results of his laboratory examination. From the results of the blood examination it turns out Rakha has a decrease in platelets, it is appropriate that a rash appears on the skin of his body, which shows there is bleeding due to the rupture of blood vessels. The increased hematocrit indicates dehydration. While the clinical signs are not clearly visible show symptoms of dengue fever. From one week before Rakha was able to go into remanence, but not until three days the fever dropped, until Rafael did not check Rakha's blood into the laboratory.

When going to Singapore was in good condition, until yesterday Rakha looks healthy, so invited to swim. Maybe because Rakha's physical condition is good so it can still survive.

Now what is in Rafael's mind is how to deal with Kharisa, whether he should honestly tell if Rakha is hospitalized or not to tell first until Rakha's condition improves. Both are decisions that make him confused to decide which one. If you tell me for sure Kharisa will be anxious and will consider him unable to take care of Rakha well, but if he is not afraid of something happening with Rakha, his condition worsens for example.

And his HP shook again, he took the HP out of his pants pocket, again a call from Kharisa. What should he say to Kharisa?

My beloved reader, thank you for being so loyal to this story, even though some may argue long-winded. This story is indeed a slow plot, certainly makes you anxious to see the ending of Kharisa with whom? For sure Kharisa will pass the greatest test phase in his life experience before determining who will accompany him. And it's time we are ready to ride a rollcoaster that will reverse our feelings. Don't baper well, we learn from the experiences of others. It turns out that there are many out there whose exams are heavier than ours, but can pass them. So, who is getting the test, rest assured that it will make us strong and become a better person. Udah ah.already changed taun.

Wellcome 2022's. Hopefully what we dream of can be realized. Aami.....

Salam🙏
