Flowers from Heaven II

Eps. 9

I have been receiving treatment on IGD for a long time. After some time, Aba was moved to the outpatient room. With a state that is still unconscious.

Nisa, Umma, Salma and Farhan, Salma's husband, immediately approached the doctor to receive an explanation.

"The patient had a pretty violent impact on the size of the elderly like him, behind his head. This causes the patient is not yet conscious, and is likely to also have a mild stroke" said the doctor explained at length

"Allah." said Umma so shocked.

"Astagfirullah." said Salma in disbelief

"Innalilahi, god, then we must how the doctor.." said Nisa simultaneously.

"Help the doctor, give the best treatment to my Aba." said Farhan very pleading

"God willing, all will be given the best. Just pray a lot..

After this we wait to realize first, then we know which part of the stroke, yaaaa." replied the Doctor, while giving direction

Everyone nodded in understanding. No one is allowed into Aba's room, all just looking behind the window. This is the first time Aba was treated in the hospital, because before Aba never wanted to be treated at the Hospital.

"Umma, rest first." said Farhan so attentive to the mother-in-law, holding her to sit in the waiting chair

Umma just followed the orders of his son-in-law, his body that grew weaker after getting news from the doctor earlier.

Nisa is still contacting all the other members of her family.

"Nis, you go home first. With the kids, it's the kids." Farhan and Salma told Nisa

"Yes Nis, I ask you to take care of Ara with you, too" said Salma who left her daughter

"Yes Ma'am, Mas.. Later if there is anything quickly tell Nisa yes Mbak, Mas.. Umma how?" nisa replied while worrying about Umma

"Umma let me be here first, who knows Aba is aware and looking for Umma." replied Farhan slowly

Nisa nodded in understanding. Actually he did not want to go home, because he wanted to wait for Aba. But he also has to take over Aba and Umma's job for the school, not to mention the kids who have to go to school.

2 days later, Aba was conscious of his coma. Now he is sentenced to a mild stroke, his mouth can no longer speak normally as usual, his legs can not be moved. Aba sincerely accepted it. No complaints from his mouth.

Umma patiently took care of Aba, the distant children had gathered since yesterday. Take care of Aba.

Nisa, who is now relied upon to handle Aba's work in the pesantren for a while, is assisted by her brother Fatir.

********

It is Friday morning, Aba has been treated for a few days. As Aba's habit, Friday morning he did self-cleaning, cutting nails and others.

All Umma do without complaining, although Aba's body that contains makes Umma sometimes overwhelmed.

Aba has been wet-dressed by Umma, changed clothes, and is being cut by Umma.

"Umma. thank you very much for the service of Umma to Aba.." said Aba who actually spoke like this only very long, confused.

"Sama-sama Aba.. Aba yaa zeal to heal, we go home, does Aba not miss ponpes?" answer Umma while focusing on Aba's nails

"Aba was very happy to have a wife from heaven, who never left Aba." said Aba with great difficulty he tried

Umma smiled, immediately turned to Aba as if teasing him. Coincidentally now in the nursery there are no children who come, what else grandchildren who come.

"Aba is very happy Umma.. Sorry if Aba can no longer accompany Umma until later see our great-grandchildren.." continued Aba with tears that began to flow

Umma finished cutting Aba's nails, he rushed to clean everything up.

"Ummas.. Aba wanted to ablude, wanted to pray dhuha.." Aba said suddenly

Dhuha prayer is the actual Aba routine, as long as the sick Aba still perform the 5-time Prayer. Wudhu with Tayamum.

Umma rushed to help Aba to stay. Then let Aba pray.

Umma's feeling suddenly not good, he immediately contacted his children who still live in his house.

"Fatir, come quickly.. Umma was afraid" said Umma quietly for fear of being heard by Aba

Fatir and Nisa who was in ponpes because they had started to return to school activities, immediately drove Nisa's car to the Hospital.

Arriving at the Hospital, Nisa and Fatir run to the elevator to go straight to Aba's nursery. Arriving there, Umma was watching Aba who was praying on his bed while lying down. Nisa and Fatir entered slowly.

Nisa approached Umma, then hugged her by embracing her from behind her shoulder.

As Fatir approaches Aba, Nisa invites Umma to come closer to Aba. Umma still shed tears. Nisa doesn't really understand.

Aba is praying, his mouth is like pronouncing prayers with difficulty.

Suddenly, Aba was like a breathless person. His chest was raised slowly, his mouth was still reading his prayers.

Fatir, Salma and Umma were shocked. Umma hugged Aba.

"Abaaaa.." cried Umma with tears in her eyes.

The unfinished prayer was suddenly heard from the mouth of Aba who was reading the shahadah with great difficulty.

Fatir quickly helped, whispering in Aba's ear. Before long, those eyes were closed. Nisa quickly calls the doctor to check on Aba.

"Sorry Sir, Ma'am.. The patient just breathed his last.. The patient is dead." said the doctor with a heavy heart

Nisa and Umma immediately cried, breaking the cry. Fatir also cried and hugged his father's body.

Aba's body was buried in the town's public cemetery near Ponpes. The many servants who delivered Aba to his resting place, many of the Ulamas who attended were also some important guests of Aba.

******

Day turns night, grief still envelops Nisa's house. The bitter reality had to be swallowed whole by Nisa. The man who was close to his son, who was already considered as a substitute for his father figure.

The house is still crowded by relatives who stay.

Nisa, and her four sisters also Umma sat together to negotiate in the family room. All the children, namely all the grandchildren of Umma and Aba, have fallen asleep in the living room.

"This is the second time Nisa feels the deepest sorrow." Nisa said with tears flowing unstoppably

Salma immediately hugged Nisa, she understood her sister's feelings. Left the same way, both enter IGD.

Fatir is the biggest brother, here he must be able to replace the figure of Aba. He was thinking of becoming a mediator in his family.

"We agreed not to divide any inheritance first, because Umma still exists, and this is the house of Aba's legacy as well as this ponpes. We have to manage together, and become a common property" Fatir told all

Everyone understands and agrees with the decision.

"For funds obtained from Ponpes' income or other businesses, it will be divided into 2 for Umma and orphaned foundations to keep flowing for Aba." said Nisa added
