Dreams of a Poor Girl

#IGYM Season 2

In the VIP ward, Dirga unceasingly kissed the wife's hand. After doctors declared that Zulfa had died, a nurse came out of the ICU and said that Zulfa's heartbeat had returned to normal.

"Thank you for fighting and surviving for our little family" Dirga said.

"All the blessings of prayer from you too, Mas. I am so grateful, still given the opportunity to see and care for our daughter" Zulfa replied.

"Yes, she must also want to gather with her mother. Who do you want to give our daughter a name?"

"Em, I'll name him, Assyifa. If you have another name, that's okay."

"A beautiful name, we name her Assyifa Putri Difa Fernandez" Dirga said with a smile.

"Hopefully he can be a medicine for our little family, Mas. Whatever, the problems and obstacles we face, he will always be there as an antidote to wounds."

"Yes, Honey. She'll be a strong, tough kid like you."

Tok tok tok tok

"Lake in!" dirga Sahut.

Zulfa's outpatient door opened and Zahra, Amir, Iwan, and Anis entered.

"Dad!" call Zahra and go to Zulfa.

"Finally, you're back. You are not ready to lose you so quickly.

Why, we are not honest with your condition? Have you not considered the presence of Brother?"

"No, Brother. I just don't want to see Brother sad, it's been enough so far Brother bear the heavy burden of having to meet all my needs, including school fees.

I want to see Brother continue to smile and be happy, with nothing to disturb Brother's mind."

"Why are you talking like that? It has become the responsibility of Brother as a substitute for our parents.

Brother sincerely went through it all, it's because you are the source of spirit for Brother. So, Brother please be with you, no more secrets between us! Whatever problems you face, you will always share with Brother."

"Yes, Brother. Thank you for everything" Zulfa said, hugging her sister.

................

In the afternoon, after Zahra and the others came home, Zulfa was sitting pensively in his bed. Dirga who had just come from the bathroom immediately approached the wife.

"You why? I noticed just now how daydreaming continues, is there something stuck in your mind?" dirga asked as she hugged Zulfa from the side.

Zulfa leaned his head against the chest of the husband's field.

"I want to see mom, I want to invite mom to meet together again like before" said Zulfa.

"If you may know, where did you go? Why do you suddenly want to see Mom?"

"I don't know where my mother is. I just want to fulfill my father's request to bring my mother back together with us."

"Father's request?" dirga asked confusedly.

"Yes, Mas. Actually-"

Under his consciousness, Zulfa was in confusion to find his way home. He walked in no direction, and came back in the same place the first time he stepped foot.

"I'm where? Why is there no way out? Why am I back in the same place?" mumbling Zulfa.

Tired, Zulfa decided to sit on a bench by the lake.

"Fafa!"

Zulfa was stunned when he heard a familiar voice calling his name.

"Mr!" call Zulfa.

From the front, Zulfa appeared in white clothes. He smiled at Zulfa and spread out his hands.

Without waiting for long, Zulfa ran to his father and hugged him.

"Mr! Fafa misses, Father," said Zulfa who is now in his father's arms.

"Mother misses us too, son."

"Fafa wants to come with me! Fafa's tired, sir!" lamented Zulfa who had cried a sigh.

"Really, Sir?" asked Zulfa while raising her head

"Yes, but not now. There will be times when you can come with the Father, there are still important things you have to do."

"What's important, sir?"

"Your husband and daughter need your presence the most, and bring your mother back together like she used to.

Your mother is lost, lead her down the real road. I miss you so much when you get together" said Mr. Zulfa and broke his embrace.

"Back off! Many people are waiting for you, especially your husband and your little daughter" Zulfa continued, slowly walking away.

"Mr! Where's daddy going? The father!" shout Zulfa.

Until not long ago, there was a light that dazzled the eyes. Slowly Zulfa's feet stepped closer to that spot of light.

And in the end, Zulfa, who was declared dead, is now back to life again.

"Oh, so. You take it easy, I'll ask someone to look for mom's whereabouts. Now don't be sad anymore, you have to heal quickly so we can get together."

"Yes, Mas. Thank you." Thank you."

"No need to thank you, it's my responsibility to always make you happy."

The next morning, Dirga was cleaning Zulfa's equipment during treatment. This morning Zulfa has been allowed to go home, but with a note should not do activities that are too heavy.

"Good morning!" greet the doctor who handles Zulfa.

"Morning too, Doc," replied Dirga and Zulfa.

"is better? Or any other complaints?" ask doctor.

"Thank God, it's been better, Doc. And no complaints whatsoever" replied Zulfa.

"Well, before I go home let me check his blood pressure first" said the doctor and immediately check Zulfa's blood pressure.

"His blood pressure is normal, keep your diet to recover quickly.

Oh yes, for the final examination results have come out and the results are quite unexpected, Mrs Zulfa has been declared completely cured of leukemia."

Haru, happy. That is what Dirga and Zulfa are feeling right now. The miracle of the Lord they had been waiting for, a struggle that bore fruit.

"Thank God, thank God" thank you Zulfa.

While feeling the joy of Zulfa's recovery, a pediatrician entered Zulfa's room.

"Excuse me! Sorry to interrupt."

"No, Doc. Please, in!" said Dirga.

"How is it, Mrs Zulfa?"

"Alhamdulillah, it's good, Doc," replied Zulfa.

"Thank God, today you're allowed to go home, huh? I would like to inform you, if the baby can be brought home.

Due to the monitoring results, his body weight and system are normal."

"Really, Doc?" ask Zulfa enthusiastically.

"Yes, Madam. You can start giving breast milk exclusively to babies, if there is a problem with breast milk, can be helped by lactation massage."

"Good, Doc. Thank you for the information" said Dirga.

"Together, Sir. Then if you'll excuse me, there will be a nurse who will bring the baby here."

After the pediatrician was out, the doctor who handled Zulfa's disease also said goodbye. Dirga and Zulfa were in the room.

"I'm so happy, Mom. Finally, my prayer was granted by God. And also we can get together with our daughter" said Zulfa who is now in her husband's arms.

"Yes, Honey. It's all thanks to your effort and patience so far, hopefully we will always be together until the end that separates us."

"Aamiin's."
