Look At Me Once
L. A. S. S
Three days Lathifa started her new life with her mother in her new rented house, a simple house with an area of 49 m² is enough for where they live.
It turns out that Bram and Ayu not only pay the rent, they also have filled the house with equipment that is quite complete, such as washing machines, refrigerators, televisions, and so on, wardrobe and other cooking utensils so that Hana and Lathifa are very helpful.
“Bu, do you remember the faces of the mothers who helped us?” lathifa asked that morning as she prepared to go to the hospital to see her children.
“Masih, Thif ... It's just that mother has not been able to find him, even though it has been three days now we are looking for him in all hospitals, but God has not reunited us, ” reply Ibu Hana.
“Hopefully today we can meet him yes, Bu.” Lathifa wished so much that she could express her gratitude directly to her guardian angel.
“Hopefully, Thif, ” said Ibu Hana expectantly, then grabbed her wallet and stood up. “Ayo departing, Thif.”
“Yes, Mom briefly. Lathifa forgot not to close the back door,” said Lathifa then ran to the kitchen.
While waiting for Lathifa, Hana's mother is shocked by Bram's sudden arrival. Bram went into the house with a loud breath.
“Bu, Lathifa where?” ask without saying hello first.
“Assalamualaikum, Bram!” reprimanding Hana's mother while shaking her head slowly looking at Bram's behavior.
Hearing the reprimand, Bram only showed a row of his teeth feeling guilty while adjusting his breath. “Assalamualaikum, Bu.”
“Wa’alaikummussalam,” replied Ms. Hana. “You didn't leave for work?”
“Where is Lathifa, Bu?” tanya Bram ignores Hana's mother's question.
“He's behind, why are you so bored, Bram?”
“There-” Sentence Bram cut off with the arrival of Lathifa from the direction of the kitchen.
“What's looking for me, Mas?” ask Lathifa.
“Come quickly we are hospital now!” bram urged Lathifa and Hana's mother to throw one another's eyes.
“Iya, we also just want to leave, Mas,” replied Lathifa. “Unfortunately Mas Bram did not go to the office?”
continued.
“Let me explain, now we have to go to the hospital immediately!” bram Urge.
Bram urges the two to go to the hospital immediately, Lathifa and Hana's mother do not ask much and follow Bram without suspecting anything.
Arriving at the hospital, Bram immediately directed the two to immediately go to the doctor's room in charge of baby twins.
But Lathifa wanted to see her children first.
Bram also prevented Lathifa who was about to step into the NICU room. “We go to the doctor's office first, Fa. He is waiting for us.”
“I want to see baby-”
“Let's go!” prune Bram quickly managed to make Lathifa wonder and feel uneasy.
Arriving at the doctor's room, the doctor gave an explanation about the condition of one of the baby twins that made Lathifa surprised.
“Constrate your heart, mother Lathifa. We've tried our best, but your baby can't be saved.”
Hearing the doctor's words, Lathifa lost control of her body. Without waiting for a long time he immediately collapsed and was unconscious.
“Astaghfirullah, Thif! Wake, Son!” hana's mother panicked to see the condition of her daughter, she patted Lathifa's cheek gently but was unable to make the woman open her eyes.
Lathifa was immediately taken to the ER, Hana's mother accompanied her daughter. Staying Bram in the room, he represents Lathifa and listens to the doctor's detailed explanation, as Bram is the guardian of a baby twin other than Lathifa.
“As I have explained before about intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Both babies of Lathifa have difficulty breathing due to their immature and perfect respiratory system. It is common for babies born prematurely, although currently many medical devices are able to support the growth of premature babies, there are some cases that can not be saved.”
“Son mother Lathifa a strong baby, overnight she was able to survive and go through her critical times,” explained Doctor.
“Lathifa's maternal daughter has Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), this is related to the condition and readiness of the baby's body that has not been perfect which causes problems in the heart. Its development during the womb does not develop properly so that the body is too small and the organs in the body have not been fully formed can also be one of the causes.”
Bram was silent listening to the explanation from the doctor carefully, not wanting to miss a single bit.
“For 2 days we make observation, and in the 3rd day baby Mother Lathifa can not last longer.”
Bram was speechless, though not his real son, but Bram already considered baby twins as their children and sincerely loved both.
“Good, Doctor. Thanks for everything.”
“Sama-sama, Sir. It's our responsibility to do our best, but sorry, we didn't manage to save your daughter. We can only try, but God is the one who rules over everything.”
Bram walked gontai down the hospital hallway to where the baby twin is, he had to toughen up and take care of the body of the poor little baby. Babies who have not had time to feel the caress of both parents and now have to separate for good.

Elsewhere, in a VIP room. Rayan sat facing Abi Husein discussing work issues. While Umi Hanifa was busy wiping the body of her son who had not yet awakened from lazing.
“Can you handle all the work here alone, Ray?” abi Husein asked with his tired face.
“Insya Allah Raiyan will do his best, Bi. Abi should rest a lot and do not mind too much.” Raiyan looked sadly at the face of the middle-aged man he had already considered like his own father, although Abi Husein looked stern and fine, as well, Raiyan knows very well that Abi Husein is actually not okay.
Raiyan turned his gaze towards his best friend, Alwi who had not yet opened his eyes after 2 weeks had passed. ‘Wake, Al! Get up! Don't you have any pity to see your parents grieving? Until when will you continue like this?’
Raiyan continued to look at his best friend, wanting to feel he forced Alwi to wake up from his long sleep. His heart was sore at the condition of Alwi, without realizing his eyes were teary and aware when he was surprised by Umi Hanifah who suddenly shouted loudly.
“God's Passion! Allahu Akbar! Abi!!” yelling Umi Hanifah made the two men immediately run towards her.
“What's up, Umi?” asked Abi Husein and Raiyan simultaneously.
“A-api ... A-Alwi ..” Umi Hanifah glazed and unable to speak as if her throat was blocked, she was only able to point towards her son and the two men followed the direction of Umi Hanifah's index finger.
“Allah!”
