Just a Nanny

Go Home to Our House

"You don't love the same news, anyway, Dik, if mom is sick," protested Julia who rushed to the mother's room, the girl to forget the whereabouts of Doctor Arman.

Dika followed the older brother's long steps, entering his mother's room.

"Mother! What's the matter, Mom?" julia's screams, stirring Doctor Arman's consciousness to rush towards Julia's mother's cramped room.

The girl was still trying to resuscitate her mother.

"Mom, wake up, Mom. Bring medicine for me." Teenager's sister from Julia, shaking the body of the mother.

Julia sobbed, when she realized there was no movement from her mother. Her chest did not move at all and the back of the mother's hand that Julia kissed just now, also felt cold.

The girl was just about to touch the mother's nose to make sure of her worries, but Dr. Arman, who was already there and checked the woman's pulse, shook his head slowly.

"Sorry, July. Your mother is no more" Dr. Arman said very carefully.

Julia's cry instantly broke out, along with Dika's roaring cry. The teenager felt very guilty to the sister for following the wishes of the mother who did not allow Dika to contact Julia and say her pain.

Yeah, it's been the last two months that Julia's mother has been feeling pain in her heart. But the woman ignored and only relieved her pain with drugs that are sold freely in pharmacies, drugs without a prescription from a doctor.

Repeatedly Dika persuaded the mother to go to the hospital and tell her brother, but the middle-aged woman who was now stiffened, said, refusing on the grounds of no longer bothering the eldest daughter who has sacrificed a lot.

Dika no longer persuades his mother, the teenager who sat in junior high school can only obey the wishes of the mother. She was always obedient when her mother told her to buy medicine at the pharmacy, like this morning.

"Sorry Dika, Ma'am. Dika did not know that the mother's pain turned out to be severe," said the teenager, in between tears.

Julia was speechless, she just hugged her sister tightly while holding back sobs. Only her tears kept coming out, signaling how devastated the girl's heart was.

Actually she also wanted to scream and cry as much so that the tightness that squeezed the chest a little less, but Julia realized, it would only make Dika become more guilty.

"Already, Sister. It's all happening" Julia comforted in a whisper.

Instead of subsiding, Dika's cries increasingly sounded loud. "If Dika says the same Ma'am July, Ma'am will definitely take mother to the hospital and mother will not die so soon, Ma'am," he regretted. The young man grabbed his own hair violently, after breaking away from the brother's embrace.

Don't be like this, brother," Julia asked sobbing. He clenched his sister's body back and held her tightly.

"It has been the fate of the mother, Dik, we must be sincere," said Julia trying to calm the sister, as well as calm herself.

While Doctor Arman, after confirming the position of his mother Julia, the stern-faced man stood while watching the two brothers with concern.

"Julia, who can I call? Your neighbor or brother?" asked Asa's father, after seeing Julia rather calm.

"Sir RT and Mr. Ustadz whose house is near the musholla, Doc," Julia replied. "But the doctor does not need to bother, let Juli alone there. The doctor please accompany my sister only," she asked later.

The girl immediately moved up, fixed her slightly messy clothes, wiped the tears that kept dripping violently and rushed out of the mother's room.

Shortly after Julia came out, the modest house where the girl and her family lived, began to be crowded with worshipping neighbors.

Mr. RT was assisted by the neighbors, moving the body of his mother Julia to the front room to be taken care of immediately, while Dr. Arman still accompanied Dika who was as unwilling in the room of the mother while holding the pillow that was used by her mother.

"Patience, Dik," said Dr. Arman while sitting beside Dika. No more words spoken by the gynecologist, he just sat down while patting Dika's arm trying to give strength to the teenager the responsibility of Julia's sister.

"Good, Arman. Mama and Asa will be there soon" Ms Ratna said across the phone.

"Yes, Ma." Asa's father immediately closed his call and put the phone back in his pocket.

"Come on, we're out!" take Doctor Arman after seeing Dika a little more calm.

The teenager nodded and then followed the steps of his guest, out of his mother's room.

"When you want to wudhu first, Om," said Dika, stopping Doctor Arman's steps.

The scanty-smiling man nodded, he waited for Dika right in front of the room while staring into the front room.

There, Julia was seen teaching beside the body of the mother who was stretched stiff. The body that has now been forgiven and just waiting is sent to the public cemetery.

Yes, all the residents moved quickly to take care of the body of Julia's mother. Starting from bathing, memorizing and then sholling the body.

"Come, Om. He'd like to accompany Juli."

After taking the ablution water and wearing a sarong and peci, Dika then sat down next to her sister and also read the surah Yasin for her mother.

While Doctor Arman who followed Dika's steps, then sat behind the two and just quietly listened.

Moments later, Mr. RT told Julia.

"Mbak Juli, the tomb is ready. Is his mother leaving now or is there something to look forward to?" ask Mr. RT whispering.

"Now, sir," Julia replied because there was nothing she was waiting for. All the families of his parents, there are outside Java because they are overseas.

Mr. Ustadz then led the funeral procession of the mother of two children. Julia who joined the funeral, holding the hand of the sister who still continues as much as possible along the road to the funeral.

Doctor Arman did not go to the funeral because he was waiting for his mother and daughter.

Just as Ms. Ratna and Asa arrived at the funeral home, Julia and the sister, along with the mourners had returned.

"Prophey yes, Nak July," said Ms Ratna as she hugged Julia.

"Thank you, Mom," Julia replied, briefly. The girl could no longer speak, only tears dripping down her cheeks.

"Mother Uli do not cry, yes," comfort Asa who immediately sat on Julia's lap, when the girl just sat down.

The little girl rubbed Julia's tears with her tiny fingers and then kissed the cheeks of an adult woman, whom she called mother.

"Mother and Om Dika will return to Asa'ja's house, yes. Here 'there is no grandmother," pinta Asa who already knows the family of Julia because every time the caretaker came home, Asa must always accompany the driver.

"Yes, Son July. Just go back there, yes," said Bu Ratna.

"Yes, Julia. Take your sister home to us."
