Don't Take My Son

The Scoping of a Secret

" How's Rakha doing?" Faisal asked as he stood in front of Rafael who had just come out of the patient care room. Rafael is stunned to see Faisal coming. Was Faisal so close to his son that Faisal came to this place? Did Kharisa ask him to come here or did he come on his own initiative when he found out that Rakha was sick and unconscious?

"Has Rakha's condition improved?" Faisal asked again when Rafael was just unmoved.

"Oh....Rakha is still unconscious." Answer

"Can I go inside to see it?" Faisal asked because he did not know the rules of visiting this hospital.

"Yes, it could be, it just so happens that the clock is big, inside there is Mas Rendi as well."

"I'm going in first." Faisal opened the door, then walked into the treatment room. It turned out that the room he entered was not directly a patient room, a kind of intermediary room where visitors could see the patient being treated from behind glass, and there were some families of patients watching their families lying weak from a distance. This kind of scenery can be seen when the clock is big, after the clock is up, the big glasses will be closed curtains. Faisal recognized the figure of the man who was standing facing the glass behind him, it was Mas Rendi, beside him a hijab woman, Faisal was sure it must be Kharisa.

"Miss....Mas Rendi's....." Faisal greeted them, who felt called his name immediately turned his head.

"A Isal......." Kharisa reflexively hunted Faisal and hugged him.

"Racha A....Rakha was still unconscious.." so on, he buried his face in Faisal's chest, making Faisal stunned, shocked by Kharisa's treatment as well, as long as they know and are close to Kharisa they have never been in physical contact except when their graduation shakes hands, it is also because of the euphoria of their success as an expression of congratulations and thanking each other for helping each other, support each other until they both achieve graduation with proud results. Moreover, Faisal is very careful not to come into contact with those who are not mahrams. And now, unexpectedly, Kharisa embraced him, apparently without realizing it, surely because of the weight of the burden he was carrying at this time, felt Faisal as a person who was always there when he was difficult, who always helped and supported him. Kharisa spilled his grief on the men who helped raise and educate Rakha, but Faisal was just unmoved, not returning the arms of the woman who some time ago asked him to be a father to Rakha

"Why does God keep testing me? I feel that God is unjust, what are my sins so many that God continues to test me?" he said while sobbing with a puddle of tears to wet Faisal's clothes. Faisal was still still stunned, but his chest was rumbling, wanting to feel like he was embracing the body of a strong woman but now looks weak, but he could not do.

"eu...Neng...." Faisal looked confused, what should he do to release Kharisa's embrace. Finally he held onto Kharisa's shoulder, pushing him carefully, until he saw a puffy face and wet cheeks.

"Eh...oh.sorry A, sorry.I reflect earlier." Kharisa only realized that when he hugged Faisal, his cheeks were reddened, mixed with shame, he took a few steps back from Faisal.

"It's okay Neng." Faisal also looked wrong. Rendi who was behind them pretended not to see, but smiling at the behavior of his brother who was bland, he knew Faisal the man who had the principle of not coming into contact with the non-mahram.

"Propay Neng, this is a test from Allah, Allah wants Neng to be closer to Him, Allah wants Neng to make Him the only place to depend, a place to ask for help. A Isal sure Neng can get through this, the important thing is we keep striving, oh yes,....A Isal wants to see Rakha, can you?"

"In there is Mama and Mama Lisna, after mama out A Isal can enter." Kharisa wiped his wet cheeks, it felt like his eyes were sore from crying, also because of lack of sleep last night.

Not long after, mama and mama Lisna came out. Rafael greeted mama and mama continued Kharisa, only to those considered parents he wanted to shake hands. Faisal entered the patient's treatment room accompanied by Kharisa. How painful his heart was to see his orphanage lying weakly with medical devices attached to his body.

"Assalamualaikum Raka...." He stroked Rakha's hair.

O Allah prolong his age, he is the source of our happiness. He murmured in his heart. He raised both hands, praying specifically for Rakha's recovery.

"Allahumma rabban naas mudzhibal ba’si isyfi antasy-syaafi laa syafiya illaa anta syifa’ laa yughaadiru saqoman."

"O Allah, O Lord of all men, take away his sickness. Only You can heal it, there is no healing but healing from You, a healing that leaves no pain." He rubbed Rakha's head again.

"Rakha, this is Om Isal coming to see Rakha, wake up dear." Kharisa said with a vibrating voice, he was on the side next to him, holding a hand attached to the infusion. But apparently Rakha still did not want to open his eyes, still feel at home in the realm of his dreams.

The chanting of the holy verse that came out of Faisal's mouth, he chanted Ar Rahman's letter on Rakha's side in a soft voice, so as not to disturb other patients, but he was sure Rakha could hear it, he said, and hope Rakha Sefera opens her eyes. Behind the glass wall where visitors look Rafael stands to notice the togetherness of Faisal with Kharisa and Rakha, I don't know what is in his mind.

"Sarah....?"

"Liss...." Mami Rafael stood with a stunned face to see the familiar face, although there have been many changes but he still regretted who the woman in front of him was. Likewise with mama Lisna he still remembers well who the woman in front of him is. They shake hands and embrace. They know each other, they seem to have been close.

"When not seen, how are you?" Ask mama Lisna.

"I'm good, how are you?" Of course Mami Rafael can guess that the woman in front of him is not okay, his body looks thinner, his hair looks thinner.

"You can see for yourself, I'm on Cancer therapy." Mama Lisna replied, she was not shy anymore her illness is known to others. Mami Rafael nods her head, she already knows it, even knowing that Lisna is being pitted, and her honey is the mother of the woman who is the mother of her granddaughter. But wait, Lisna just came out of the patient room with her honey, joined hands with each other, and Lisna meant that she had just looked at Rakha. Means Lisna's relationship with her honey is fine?

"What are you doing here? Your son's?" Ask mama Lisna.

"This is my second son." Richan who was sitting immediately stood up, smiled, then greeted Lisna's mother.

"My granddaughter was treated inside, she's still unconscious."

"Kok can be the same, my grandson is also still unconscious."

"My granddaughter Rakha, exposed to DHF, two days ago had aspirations that left her breathless and unconscious."

"Rakha...? So....?" Mama Lisna knows what the story of her daughter is like, not accepted by the father's family of her son.

Two women who turned out to be old friends are in a hospital cafeteria. It turns out they were friends since college until they both worked at the same company. More than seven years of friendship between them until they separated after Rafael's mother married because they were betrothed.

"The Godhead never betrayed you, he left you for your good, he only pretended to be in a relationship with Vienna so you hated him and you didn't feel hard to turn away from him. Your father asked the Lord to leave you because he had betrothed you to your husband. So if you want to repay your heartache to Mas Dewa through Kharisa, it is wrong. Kharisa doesn't know anything and has nothing to do with your past stories with Mas Dewa."

"And your guess is that Mas Dewa has hurt me by having another wife is wrong too. Mas Dewa did share his love, but it was because of my love, I asked Mas Dewa to marry again, even his wife Dewi it was me who chose him, I asked him, the relationship of the three of us is also good, the relationship of the three of us is also good, Kharisa also I consider as my daughter, as well as my children, Dewi considers as her son."

"Now we are old, how many years we have left in the world, and now it is time to make our children happy, to make them happy.

"I did reject Kharisa because of heartache with Mas Dewa, hate also on his mother because I think Mas Dewa also hurt you Lis. I'm not willing to give God his love to other women, I'm sincere God with you, only you, who deserve God's mas."

"That has happened let it happen, now we have to fix it. I'm sure Kharisa will forgive you, he's a good boy, only you have to be patient, he's a little stubborn."

"I'm glad to see you again, and we have the same grandchild."
