I Love You Beautiful Aunt

Wira Arbitama

"Emak, dedek is here. When did my mom wake up? Mom was late bobo. Not tired what a mouthful sleep?" babble Kay while patting her son's hands on Alya's cheeks that are still asleep.

Still vividly remembered in Kay's memory the exact same incident that his wife is experiencing now.

"I didn't expect everything to happen like this, Beib. You had a brain tumor from our accident. I'm sorry, beib. I'm sorry I couldn't take good care of you. Wake up, so I can make amends and I promise I won't do the same again. Awake, beib. For me and for Dedek."

Kay cried sobbing as she stroked his wife's face.

The baby was lying next to Alya, and he put his head next to his wife.

"I miss you, beib. Open her eyes, so I can see your pretty eyes. Don't you miss me too, beib."

Kay gently kissed Alya's forehead and kissed her entire face. Then he put his head back down next to Alya.

"You know, beib, I'm always waiting for our meeting. I imagine you and Dedek welcome my arrival with joy. Although the reality is not so, but I know you must be glad I'm home and we can be together again. Aren't you, beib?"

Kay's hand held Alya's hand. Kay wants Alya to feel her presence.

Suddenly Alya's finger moved. Kay sat straight up.

"Beib's? You up, beib? Are you conscious? Beib?!!" Kay kept trying to call and get his wife to talk.

Quickly Kay pressed the emergency button to call the doctor.

The doctor came shortly.

The nurse told Kay to wait outside.

Kay took the baby she had put to bed next to Alya, and came out holding her baby.

Kay waited for the doctor who examined Alya restlessly. The baby was in the arms of his grandmother.

"How's my wife doing, doc?" kay asked as soon as the doctor came out.

"Mrs Alya wants to meet her husband."

Kay went straight in after taking her son back from his mother's arms.

"Beib?" call Kay slowly.

A sweet smile, even though it was like enduring pain, Alya showed it in front of her husband. His pale face looked slightly bright.

"Habib..have...gone home?" alya asked in a voice barely audible to Kay.

Kay smiled nodding.

His happiness peaked, watching his wife wake up from her coma.

"Look at our son, beib! Canneries?" Kay showed the baby she was carrying to Alya.

"Bell-looking. Like you!"

Kay nodded, and smiled full of haru.

"But the smile looks just like you, beib."

Alya nodded weakly and smiled.

"Thank you beib, I love you a beautiful baby. Hopefully later he will become a pious, pinter, loving, polite and useful child for the nation, nation and religion."

"Aamiin's."

Kay kissed his wife's forehead gently. The tears on Alya's cheeks. His chest was tight for a moment, until his breath was stinged.

"Beib's? A beib? You why?" Kay panicked.

"Doctor! Doctor! My wife..dok..doctor!!!"

"Sir.please..jaga..ded....dek...Hero." Alya stroked the weak cheek of Kay who kept crying.

"Beib, we'll take care of Dedek together, beib. You must be cured." Kay kissed Alya's hand gently.

Alya's breathing grew stifling.

"Don't stay with me, beib. I beg!"

"I.love...Habib!"

"I love you too, beib!"

Kay guided his wife to say two sentences of shahadah.

"Asyhadu an laa ilaaha illallahu, wa asyhaduanna muhammadar the apostle of Allah!"

Weakly and breathing hard, after saying the two sentences of the creed, Alya breathed his last quietly.

A cry broke out in the room.

Kay rubbed her flowing tears. He kissed her long ago for the last time his wife's face began to cool.

"Innalillahi wa innailaihi raaji'uun. Goodbye beib, wait for us in God's heaven."

Her father-in-law's tight hug tightened Kay's chest. Especially when looking at the child who has become an orphan only a few days old.

He also saw his mother-in-law who fainted, unable to accept the fact that her only favorite child was no longer with them.

Kay took her son in the arms of her mother who was crying.

"Strong grandfather, huh? There's still a grandpa who needs a jack." Karin hugged Kay who was silent while holding her son who was crying because he woke up.

"Let the big brother pick up the deck." Abby tried to take a grandpa.

"Not, bang. I'm not pa-pa, I'm."

"What's patient, deck?"

Kay nodded slowly.

"Beauty father, from now on we should be able to live both lives. We pray that your mother will be calm by his side. And may the charity of worship be accepted by Allah SWT. Aamiin's."

"Aamiin's."

They each said a do'a in their hearts.

Do'a is sincere to their son, daughter-in-law, wife, mother, dear friend.

"May you also live your life in the future, Kay. Do'a we're all the best for you and grandpa."😓😓

The next day when the deliverymen had returned to their homes, Kay was still faithfully sitting next to his wife's navel.

Abby, Egi and Arkan were standing not far from Kay.

Kay's tears continued to flow rapidly even though Kay's voice could not be heard crying. A wooden tombstone stuck on his wife's grave.

"I'm home to you, beib. But why did you leave me? Are you angry that I left you, Beib, until you wanted revenge on me? You have lost me and Dedek. We need you, beib. We want you to stay with us. Please come into our dreams, beib. Don't let us languish. Help, beib!" kay lamented, without sobbing. Her chest is getting tighter.

Kay fell face down on top of Alya's belly button.

"Dad?" call Abby, after a long time Kay was silent with her position as if hugging his wife's navel.

"Daddy?!" call Abby again.

This time in an anxious tone because Kay was still motionless.

Egi took the initiative to look at Kay's face. Kay looked like she was asleep. Then Egi checked Kay's pulse. Weak-headed. Egi turned towards Abby and Arkan.

"Why, Gi?" ask Abby.

"Kay's pulse is weak, bang..."

"Let's take it home."

Arkan immediately raised the body of Kay who turned unconscious, assisted by Abby.

Egi opened the car door and then entered it. Kay's body was laid on Egi's lap.

"Kan, you bring the car. My body is shaking."

The atmosphere of the house that is still crowded with mourners, increasingly tense when seeing Kay's body carried in by Egi, Abby and Arkan.

"God!!" karin cried hysterically at Kay's unconsciousness.

Alma could only cry as she hugged her granddaughter whom she was carrying.

"The strong grandpa, yes. Don't make me sadder. Dedek became a good son, who is good, and can boast of father, grandmother and abok huh?" Alma continues to kiss her only granddaughter Alya left behind for them.

Elsa and Rani who from earlier with Alma also cried to see Alya's child.

Pity arises when you realize that the tiny baby has no mother anymore.

Bella asks Karin to meet Kay in her room.

"Sir. Up, deck. It's mama, baby." Karin patted Kay's cheek.

"Try on the love of wind oil, ma." Bella took the wind oil out of her bag and gave it to her mother-in-law.

Karin also applied wind oil was bent, chest and temple Kay.

"Daddy?!"

Kay seemed to be starting to wake up. Slowly he opened his eyes, weak.

"Akh!"

Kay felt pain in her head.

"Daddy?!"

Kay looked around. It turned out that she had already been in her room with Alya.

"Sure brother, Egi and Arkan brought me home. Were they waiting for me to be buried?!" think Kay.

"You're not pa-pa, are you, deck?" ask Karin worriedly.

"No pa-pa, ma. I was just a little dizzy" replied Kay, slowly.

"Where is it, ma?" tanyanya.

"So carried by your mother-in-law."

Kay got up from her bed.

"Where are you going, deck?" karin asked while helping Kay stand up.

"You take the grandpa. Poor mom, haven't had a break yet. I must be tired" said Kay.

With her steps still limp, Kay walked up to her mother-in-law, and sat down next to her. Kay put her head on her mother-in-law's shoulder weakly.

"Mom, I'm sorry I can't take care of my son. Because of me, Alya left us." said Kay, sad.

"Don't talk like that. It's all fate, we can't refuse it. Alya leaving was already his way. We pray that your wife will be at her side." Alma gently stroked her daughter-in-law's hair.

"If only I didn't go to work and always accompanied Alya for sure..."

"Sst. Already, don't continue. Just ikhlaskan. Alya did not leave. He is always in our hearts."

Kay silence. His hand caressed his son's cheek.

"Remember, Kay. You have to be tough, for the sake of grandpa!" said Alma.

Kay was silent.

"Kay! You have to promise mom. You have to stay strong and act like a true warrior. I want the old Kay. You promise?"

Alma's eyes stared right at the bead of her son-in-law's eyes that looked desperate.

"Kay!!" Alma gripped Kay's shoulder, strong.

"Yes." Yeah." Kay answered slowly.

"Lettu Kay Arbitama!!"

"Ready, mom. I promise!!" replied Kay firmly.

Alma smiling. Everyone there smiled and heard him.

"good. Be a good and strong father to your child. Make him a moral and dignified person. Just like you, mother's favorite daughter-in-law." Alma hugged Kay, full of harrum. His water fell without being able to stand it.

Kay nodded and hugged Alma back, tightly.

*****

Six years later.

"Arbitama Hero! Are you ready?!"

"Ready, dad!"

"good. Let's have breakfast first."

Kay clasped the hand of her son who was ready with a school uniform complete with a bag on his shoulder and already wearing his shoes.

Right now that handsome boy is already sitting on the bench of grade I elementary school.

"Oh, Grandma's granddaughter is handsome. The bath is clean, isn't it?"

"Clean dong, grandma. You're a pinter, you can shower yourself." Hero, pat her chest softly.

"Whose grandchild was it?"

"Abok's grandson, dong!" The hero ran to hug his grandfather whom he called abok.

The Abok hugged his grandson tightly and kissed him, anxious.

"The grandmother's granddaughter. Udah handsome, fragrant, pinter..definitely mother teacher dear yes same Wira?" ask abok.

"Yes dong, bok. Not only the teacher, the girls in the school of Wira also like the same Hero, there are even those who invite Wira to marry."

Uhuk! Uhuk! Uhuk!

Kay chokes at the babbling of her bachelor son.

Alma offered Kay some drinking water while holding back a laugh. While Ramdani chuckles amusedly.

"Have talked. Eat fast, I'll take you." Kay said.

"Yes, dad." without saying much, Wira quickly finished her breakfast.

Since childhood Wira di Dididik Kay to be independent. Bathing, eating, sleeping, waking up and getting dressed, all taught Kay military-style. Everything has to be on time.

Although Kay did not force Wira to obey her wishes, but Wira was able to do well what her father taught her.

Wira grows up to be an independent child and not spoiled, although his two grandmothers, his two aboks, Sandy opa, also his om-om always pamper him.

Since babies, women are rarely fussy. He seemed to understand the situation of his single parent father.

But Wira does not lack the affection of the mother because her aunts, Elsa, Rani and Bella always love her and treat her like their own child.

Kay got off to take the girl down to the school gate.

"Wira studying hard, do not make the teacher angry. Remember?!" kay's advice before his son goes into class.

"Remember, yeah!"

"Printer." Kay rubbed her son's hair, slowly. "Dad go to work first, huh?"

"Ready, commander!" said Wira loudly make Kay smile amused. The hero kissed the back of his father's hand.

Kay got into her car after Wira got into her class.

"Our son is grown, beib. May he be the child we hoped he would be. Aamiin's."
