Half of My Husband's life

Getting worse

One week has passed, but Ara's condition has not improved.

From that day on, Nur accompanied Hafizah more often in the hospital. Besides Hafizah is in need of money he also needs a place to share the burden.

"I have to see the Doctor, please take care of Ara for a while" said Hafizah in the afternoon, not only tired of the body, but his heart was almost desperate with Ara's state of weakness.

"Alright Brother." answered Nur then went inside in place of Hafizah.

With a worried heart, of course he should not give up just like that, if the drug is not able to restore Ara, then there must be another effort so that Ara can escape from the deterioration.

Yeah, he's losing.

Hafizah walked while wiping away the tears, Azzam's departure made him truly lose half his soul.

"Why hasn't my daughter recovered? Is there anything else you can do to get Ara to heal?" ask Hafizah after being in the pediatrician's room.

With a heavy sigh, the female doctor removed her glasses. "Madam, actually Ara has no disease."

Hafizah was struck by the doctor's expression.

"He was feeling a situation he never wanted, and as a child he couldn't express that his heart was very sad. That's also the reason we only give vitamins and mild drugs such as tranquilizers. He's not sick."

"Then I have to how Doc?" his sobs were heard echoing with a heavy breath filling the doctor's room.

"Mum prayed a lot, comfort Ara by presenting many people who might make her forget to lose her father."

"I'm afraid Doc, Ara loves her father too much and_" she can't continue her words anymore.

"We're asking a child psychologist to come here, hopefully after this Ara will be better."

"Yes Doc, I'll do anything for Ara to recover."

A little hope, Hafizah came out of the room with eyes that were still wet, he opened his phone to contact Ahmad. Just intend to give news, and ask for prayer for the recovery of Ara, because to ask him to go home, of course Ahmad will not be able to.

"Assalamualaikum Sis." Ahmad's voice was heard across the street.

"Wa'alaikum greetings Ahmad, sorry brother interfered." Hafizah thought again to tell Ara's news to her.

"What's up, brother?" tanya Ahmad seemed to know Hafizah was thinking.

"Ah, Brother only..."

"Sister?" ahmad's voice again.

Hafizah chose to turn off her phone, not until her heart told her about Ara. As a new military member of course Ahmad was a lot of activities, where maybe Hafizah to the heart add to the burden of his younger brother's mind.

"Sister!!"

Nur's call heard screaming made Hafizah surprised to drop her phone.

"Ara tight, brother, hurry." Nur pulled Hafizah's hand to immediately enter the nursery of his son.

"Ara" said Hafizah shaking, running in to see the state of his son.

A doctor and two sisters surround Ara, trying to help and calm Ara down.

"Ara, Honey..." Hafizah cried as she grabbed Ara's cold hand.

"Grand....Ahh.." Ara's voice huffled, her chest rising and falling with her own eyes looking up at the hospital ceiling.

"Itaa..." Hafizah was crying.

"Mother calm down." one of the sisters persuaded, but ignored Hafizah.

His mind was completely confused, Ara's deteriorating condition made Hafizah seem to be in the days a few weeks ago, where the departure of Azzam was so sudden.

Slowly, it turned out that Ara was still listening to the doctor speak. His little chest was starting to normal, no longer going up and down so quickly.

"Alhamdulillah." The nurse wearing the same hijab as Hafizah smiled with relief.

"Dear Gracious, look at Mother Son. Mom loves you very much. Mum loves you. I only have Ara." Hafizah again sobbed.

But it did not get a response from the little girl, even Hafizah's embrace was not in taste.

"Ara." slowly Hafizah grew more worried.

Ara stared at one point unblinkingly. His breathing was regular, but he cried without a sound. Her tears came down slowly without anyone moving her entire small limb.

"Mom..."

Silence, as everyone waited for the reaction of the little girl who lay weak, pale and increasingly sunken her two eyes.

He blinked, but was still focused at one point that made everyone turn their heads.

"Ara" said the man who took the call that Hafizah had mentioned several times.

"Dad..."

Ara replied weakly, but the words mentioned were truly unexpected.

"Son." really with a tight chest Hafizah tried to explain.

"Dad.." call him again.

Not only Hafizah, but everyone looked at each other with what Ara mentioned, and his eyes remained fixed on the man standing at the end of the bed.

And it was unexpected that the man approached Ara, right beside Hafizah he stood up and grabbed Ara's small hand.

"Pregnant?" call the man very close, their two eyeballs clashing.

"Dad...!" ara's tears broke out echoing, out of nowhere she got the energy to be able to scream the call of the father to a man she did not know.

And so heartwarming as the two strangers hugged.

The crying had just happened from some people including the doctor who witnessed how Ara was blowing a longing cry to the man.

"Calm down dear." he said, it really makes Ara more unwilling to let go of the hug on the sturdy shoulder of the foreign man.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after a few minutes then there was progress on Ara, suddenly she wanted to drink milk. Indeed, God is miraculous in the prayer that a mother prays all the time and with tears.

"Thank you." Hafizah bowed before the man who had again given him help. "Even your money hasn't been returned, but now I owe you again."

He looked at the lowered Hafizah. "I'm Andra. You don't need to feel constantly in debt, because a meeting isn't just a coincidence."

"Ma...you mean?"

"Yes, perhaps God wants me to be the consoler of Ara's lost heart" he replied softly, his pitch-black eyes staring at Hafizah's face.

"Where do you know Ara's losing?" a little dislike the words of loss, even if it is true.

"If his father existed, he wouldn't call me father." He smiled then moved his hand back to Ara. "Or do I deserve to be a father?"

So the words surprised at the same time make Hafizah uncomfortable.

Suddenly he behaved strangely, plus his smile which Hafizah said was a little disturbing.

"I was just kidding." while peeping Ara's small hand that started to close her eyes, and one hand gave Hafizah's phone that fell off.
