Mr. Ruslan's request

Mr. Ruslan was placed in intensive care, the families were forced to take turns to see the man who had 3 wives, 2 children and 5 grandchildren. From a distance Zain saw the existence of his mother who was sitting in a wheelchair, accompanied by several other relatives including Agastya.

Huff, Zain breathed a sigh of relief. Although his best friend did not directly accept his brother's apology, Agastya's presence there was already the answer.

Zain's steps closer to Ruslan's room, several pairs of eyes on Zain and Zais.

"Zain, how's your wife?" Ask Mr. Ruslan's sister.

"Alhamdulilah, Mama Alif has given birth, our third child, woman, uncle."

"Alhamdulillah," exclaimed the relatives who were sitting in the waiting room of the patient's family.

"Quick inside, from now on your brother wants to talk to you," said uncle Zain again.

"Ah, so you're conscious, huh? Thank goodness." Zain then approached his brother to the treatment room, followed by several other family members. Apparently they have asked for special permission with the hospital that originally gave the rule only one family can enter the intensive care room.

"Change," said Zain slowly, he approached his brother while pushing his mother's wheelchair.

"How's your wife, son?"

"Alhamdulillah, have given birth, bah. His sister Alif and Amar, women."

"Alhamdulillah, add 1 more grandchild. May you grow up to be a good daughter. Um ... I deliberately asked you to come together. Abah thought it might be imminent," Mr. Ruslan's voice was weak but his words were still clearly heard by the people in the room.

"Ssttt, you can't say that, we are here all in support of recovering quickly" said Zain.

The old man smiled, "Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow, even the next few minutes, son. So while you can still talk, you want to say a few things. First I beg to forgive my mistakes, born and inner both that I intentionally or not, especially to you Siti," he said as he looked at his first wife, Zain's biological mother.

"Thank you for being a good wife to me, as well as a wonderful mother to Zain and Zais who you nurtured since infancy after her mother died" Ruslan continued, who then mentioned the name of everyone who was in the room, without exception Aminah even though he did not see the trunk of his nose.

Mother Siti nodded and replied to her husband with a smile.

"Zain, Zais .. Even though you were born of different mothers, yet I am truly happy to see your intimacy, it remains this way even though you are no longer in this world, yes and do not forget God either in planning something or while living it, also remind your wife, children and grandchildren later to worship."

"Well, please don't talk like that, I'm so sad" Zain pinta stroked his big brother's arm.

"My dear child, please understand .. I am doing this while I can still speak because we do not know God's plan. Thank goodness if healed, but if in the near future you have to go home, you still thank me because it means that your task has been completed in this world. Allah is very good for your life. And about Aminah, even though I married her started because of a mistake but even though she has been with me and takes care of me very well, please do her fair. Give him the part as I write it in the will," said Ruslan, staring at the ceiling.

"We promise to do what you want" Zais said, staring at her brother.

"One more thing, can you call Agastya? Even though he's not our family but you already consider Aga and Aya like older children too."

"Before, bah," Zain went out of the room to Agastya.

"Ga, sorry. Can you meet my brother? Someone wants to be talked about," said Zain, hoping.

"Please ignore your annoyance at me first, I beg you, Ga."

"Yes, Zain," said Aga, he stood up and followed Zain's steps toward Mr. Ruslan's room.

"Assalamualaikum, mr. Rusalan .." said Agastya slowly.

"Moskvallam. Aga, can you call me brother and mother to Zain's mother?"

Agastya nodded, "Well, bah. Mama ..." Agastya turned to the middle-aged woman sitting in a wheelchair by the bed of Mr. Ruslan.

Again, Siti nodded and smiled.

"Thank God, that sounds wonderful, son. Sorry for the mistake, yes. One day the truth will appear and you will know that the morning tasi incident is just a misunderstanding, you also want to give advice .. please pull back your talaq words to Aya. Don't you try to understand in the slightest that what happened between me and Aya is beyond our will."

Agastya bowed with her guilt.

"It is not good to decide something in an emotional state, without involving the guidance of God and thinking carefully before. Don't do things you'll only regret afterwards. Apologize to Aya, before your wife chooses to leave your side, son."

"But I threw him out and was being rude to him, bah."

"That's Ga, the conflict between husband and wife is actually a natural thing but 1 thing that I regret ... Aya is a gentle woman as well he said, you even have the heart to accuse him without investigating first. You forget how painful it must be to be apart for years with Aya as well how do you try to get her by your side again?" That sentence pierced Agastya's heart.

"I-I'm sorry, bah," Agastya while holding back tears that were ready to slide on her cheeks.

"Don't apologize to me, but come on you're gonna have to apologize, son. Get to him immediately."

"But I need time, bah. My heart is sick."

"Then do you think Aya wasn't disappointed to have been treated that way?"

Agastya was silent for a moment, digesting what Mr. Ruslan had said. "Hm, I'm gonna fix our relationship, bah. I'll apologize to her and cancel my divorce with Aya," Aya broke up.

"Alhamdulillah, do not let you regret what you have decided today, son."

"Well, but probably not anytime soon."

"No problem, the important thing is there's intention in that direction, son. Now you have calmed down, everything has been said, so if something happens to you, there is nothing that bothers you anymore. I'm sorry, I want to rest, you can get out of this room, and leave me with Zain's mom" Ruslan said later.

Everyone in the room complied with Mr. Ruslan's request. They say goodbye to Mr. Ruslan and Ms. Siti before leaving the treatment room.

"Change, get well soon, yeah. The spirit!" zain said to his brother.

"Of course, I still want to be with you guys, son," replied Ruslan.
