Don't Take My Son

Rakha Athaillah Prasetya

"Assalamualaikum Neng." Faisal, who had just returned from school and was still wearing his uniform, approached Kharisa, who was sitting on the terrace. As usual Kharisa prefers to be on the terrace while paying attention to some santriwati who then pass to the dormitory.

"Eh A Isal has come home?" Kharisa turned to Faisal who was now sitting on the bench in front of him.

"Where are the results of the examination of the contents? everything's healthy, right?" faisal asked in full search, he noticed Kharisa's expressionless reaction.

"Yes." he answered flatly. Kharisa has just been delivered Mama check her pregnancy, maybe this is the last examination before the time of delivery. Estimated delivery in about two weeks. From the results of the ultrasound examination, the doctor explained that the fetal position was good, the head was down, had entered PAP, the fetal heart rate was normal.

"How come it's that dry? it hurt?" Kharisa seems to be in a rage, visible sweat granules adorn the forehead, temples in the nose of Kharisa. Kharisa felt lately the air feels hotter, including at night, so he can not sleep well, not to mention his chest often feels tight, maybe because his stomach is getting bigger.

"No..greed, now I'm still angry, A Isal is not angry?"

"No, it's ordinary. Maybe because Neng got pregnant already big so often angry."

"Yes like, the waist and back also often hurt now, sleep is also not good, the legs are also more swollen." Kharisa massaged his own lower back. Such are the complaints felt by pregnant women in the third trimester, especially when approaching the time of delivery. And Kharisa felt it, enjoying the complaints he felt alone, if other pregnant women when complaining of pain and discomfort, there was a husband who accompanied him even relieve the pain by stroking, massaging and paying attention, he said, kharisa had no husband to accompany her. Faisal could feel what Kharisa felt, he felt sorry to see the state of Kharisa, so if there was free time he tried to accompany Kharisa, heard his complaints and comforted him.

"It is the sacrifice of a mother, so why should we respect our mother. Neng is great, can pass it all, must be heavy carrying the fetus in the abdomen for up to nine months, has not felt nausea vomiting, back pain, not soundly sleeping, not restful sleep, but God willing this will be a good deed Neng, Neng's sacrifice must be Allah replaced with other rewards and goodness." comforted Faisal

"Well, we still can't contact Rafael, does that mean he doesn't want to take responsibility? Soon I give birth, this baby is really born without a father, I'm afraid how the fate will be, I'm afraid your son will be a humiliation because of an illegitimate child, no father. Ah...this is my fault.hiks...hiks....." Kharisa began to sob, clear crystals began to fall on his cheeks.

"Neng should not think negatively, maybe Rafael will take responsibility, just difficulty contacting Neng, or he is waiting for the right time to come to Neng, America is a far place. Neng is patient, do not worry too much about what has not happened, A Isal is sure there will be many people who love the same child neng. A Isal will also take care and will love Neng's son."

"But A if later Neng's son already knows how his father?"

"Sstt..had not to think about it first, now focus first Neng can give birth smoothly, the baby is born healthy, Neng is also healthy."

"Ah I fear A, she said giving birth is very sick, if I am not strong how well, if I die while giving birth how A, how will my baby? I'm afraid A, I'm a lot of sin, I'm not ready to die later."

"Ish..why so think that, positive thinking or Neng, many who gave birth at a young age, the mother and the baby survived. From now on Neng prayed to be facilitated, launched at childbirth later, who gave the pain to God, Neng prayed for ease of pain, and died it must be for every living person, he said, do not be afraid, Neng inget right Abah once said, everyone has sin, but no matter how heavy our sin, as much as our sin if we repent with earnest must be God forgiven. Neng has already repented, witnessed Abah also, God willing God has forgiven sins in the past, the important thing in the future is not to review again and continue to improve, abstain from sin. Eh this is A Isal so nasehatin Neng again.pokonya Neng positive thingking well, definitely can go through the process of giving birth."

"Yes.thank you A Isal. Isal has always been my encouragement."

Why is he thinking that mature...? Kharisa.

"Eh Neng has a name for the baby yet? Don't know a man or a woman?" Until yesterday they did not know the gender of the baby conceived by Kharisa. Recently, Kharisa and his mother found out during the ultrasound examination, the doctor said that the fetus is male, previously each in the USG is always covered by the position of the hands and feet.

"The doctor said the baby was a boy."

"Wah.jagoan euy, could be playing A Isal dong. Trus his name has been prepared yet?" faisal asked excitedly. Kharisa shook his head.

"I wanted Rafael to give him a name, but it didn't seem possible." Kharisa's face looks sad.

"Don't be sad..gimana if we prepare his name, at home there is a book collection of Islamic children's names, have A Farhan left behind, want to see?"

"Surely A Isal bantuin, A Isal change clothes first, eat first good, hungry.later come straight here again and bring the book"

"Yes, eat a lot, let's not be skinny." Kharisa said, Faisal got up from his seat and walked towards his house.

Half an hour later Faisal returned to meet Kharisa carrying the book he had promised.

"Let's find a good name..nih a list of names for boys." Faisal and Kharisa began to read the names and their meanings.

"Neng hopes what of the child Neng, the name is like a prayer, we give the name according to the hope we want his child to be what he will be. For example, parents give the name Hafiz, Hafizah because they expect their children to be a driver of the Quran."

"What would want to be a child who is strong enough to face life in the future." Surely all parents hope like that, his son became a sholeh child. They're still looking for the right name for baby Kharisa.

"Can also give the name of the child from the combination of the name of the father and mother. Let's combine Neng's name with Rafael's. Charisa.....Raphael.....Khara..eh rich brand of coconut milk he...he....." Faisal chuckles.

"That's not the name...." Kharisa pursed his lips.

"Yes.it was an experiment.if it was exchanged, Rafael....Kharisa, so Rakha..nah is good, try to find Rakha there is no meaning, if in Sunda Rakha it means sister, suitable so later will be a sister for her sisters, he said, try in the book is Rakha's name isn't it?" Kharisa searched again in the book listing the names Faisal mentioned.

"There is Rakha, which means happy, rich." Karina showed me a list of names written in the book.

"It is good, so prayer also may later be a person who is always happy, rich, not only rich in wealth, but rich in heart, rich in knowledge, rich in charity. How does Neng like not to have that name?"

"May A be nice too." Kharisa's lips widened smiling happily.

"Yes good, it's also fitting that the combination of Neng's name is the same as his father's name, so Neng's son also always remembers his father, surely his father will also be happy to have his name adrift in his hero's name." faisal said sincerely, making Kharisa shed tears. In his heart he promised not to forget Faisal, who was already very meritorious, and would repay all his kindness as he could.

"So fix well Rakha, what's the name?" They read the name list again, turned the book back, looking for the good name they wanted

"Racha Alfarizi......Rakha Thahara's.....Rakha Maulana's.....Rakha Athai......." Faisal matches several names that may fit alongside the name Rakha.

"Athaillah means the gift of God...Good not if Athaillah, he is the gift of God whose life is rich and happy, how about...?" Faisal looked excited as if he was a father who was obliged to give his son a name.

"Rakha Athaillah....great....I want to add Rafael's last name?" Kharisa does not seem to want to remove any trace of who his son's father is, however Rafael is his son's biological father.

"That's a lot Neng..."

"So her name is Rakha Athaillah Prasetya."
