"What's up?"
Aluna spurred her pace to get into the crowd. There he immediately saw a mother who was crying hysterically like she was demanding in her tone. While in front of him was a doctor in glasses who was bowed guilty.
"Give me back my son! Lying, he's lying! My son is still alive. Doctor...!!" The mother clutched the Doctor's collar in front of her. "Where is the promise to save my son? Where is the promise to bring my son back to recovery?!!"
"Astaghfirullahal adzim." Aluna stepped closer. He also helped people who tried to calm the middle-aged mother.
"Istighfar ma'am, istighfar.... Astaghfirullahal adzim." Aluna's whisper stroked the mother's arm.
"My son!! Docs...Please check again my son, definitely not dead.certainly still alive." Her crying is breaking. She clasped Aluna's hand tightly, asking for a plea to make sure her son was alive.
Aluna turned her head, looking at the doctor who had bowed. Doctor Firman immediately shook his head slowly.
Without a cue, the girl hugged the mother in front of her. Slip his back with gentleness. "Mother must know that the heavens and the earth belong to Allah. So whenever God takes it, you have to be ready."
Mother was shaking. "My son..." It was as if he had yet to accept the fate that had just happened.
"My mother please let her child go yes.let the mother's child go quietly. I must be sincere, give the best prayer. I am sure the mother's child there In Shaa Allah has gained more happiness as long as the mother is sincere."
"We are doctors, just trying to do our best. Destiny is not in our hands. Nor can we determine the life and death of a patient. We're just regular humans ma'am, all patients are responsible and for sure we'll do our best. But you need to know, destiny still belongs to the Almighty." Aluna. "Please, please," he whispered.
The next second Aluna released a hug. His eyes were fixed on the face of the mother, clearly visible in his eyes a sense of sadness, distrust and unreality mixed in one. Aluna helped some people to help the mother sit down.
"Help who has drinking water?!" Aluna asked with a glance. A young woman immediately pulled out a small mineral bottle in her bag, thrusting it to Aluna.
Aluna accepted and opened the bottle. "Drink first, ma'am..."
With a limp and trembling hand the mother accepted and drank only a mouthful. Then he handed it back to Aluna. "I want to see my son." He muttered, preparing to stand up.
People help their mother. Because it knows the body of the mother who is still so limp. Aluna returned the mineral bottle, thanking her.
Before long, the people dispersed. The young doctor's eyes looked at the Word doctor who was walking unsteadily closer. His eyes were also red, but he gave a smile.
"Thank you doc..." Her speech.
"The same."

19.05
"Hello Assalamualaikum..." Greet Aluna by entering a patient's room. A 10-year-old boy smiled.
"Waalaikum salam." The answer was with a young woman. The one who had been sitting on the sofa, immediately stood closer.
A nurse who participated in Aluna immediately checked and replaced the infusion fluid.
After checking the situation with the stethoscope, Aluna asked. "Rifky how is he? Still getting sick?"
"Yes the doctor. Now it's just itching itches on."
Aluna squinted her eyes. "Let's look at his neck first." The girl started to hold and check Rifky's neck. There's a lump on his neck.
"Is this the lump sick?"
Rifky shook his head in response.
Aluna sighed slowly. He saw a woman who was still faithful waiting.
"This is her brother?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Pretty. Ma'am, can you come out to talk for a minute?"
"Nice doc."
They both came out.
"So how's doc?"
"For a few days Rifky was treated here, I've noticed the symptoms he's been experiencing. And I recommend the mbak x-ray test. To find out more about Rifky disease. The sooner the better, so that we can also immediately prevent something that is not desired later." Aluna.
"Okay doc, do whatever it takes. What matters is my sister's healed."
Aluna smiled with a nod. He re-enters in with Rifky's brother walking in the back.
"Rifky, it's been a long time.doctor said goodbye. You do not forget to rest, before that later let the sisters eat food. You eat yes, let the spit heal."
Rifky nodded. "Dok." Call her.
"Yes?!"
"I'm bosen here. Wanted home..." Whimpering.
"Yes can go home, but wait to get well. Rifky's food from now on must be arranged huh? If asked to eat.ya eat do not get late, if told to sleep yes sleep. I want to go home, right?"
"But the food here ain't good." His sister who was only in reply to a small ruckus from Aluna.
"Yes already gini, tomorrow if the doctor comes here again, the doctor brought toys? Let Rifky be bosen. How's it?"
"Well..." The little boy's eyes sparkled. "Can I request doc??"
"Sst Rifky.." Her brother rebuked her by giving a look as if saying "don't". It made Rifky pout.
"Yes, what do you want to request?"
"Don't do it." Sela. "Let me buy it. Don't bother, thank you."
"Yes, that's it." Aluna smiled again. "I'll say yes. Excuse me."
"Yes doc, thank you."
Aluna gave a small nod and left with the sister. Sayup sayup when he reached the doorway, he heard Rifky whining.
"So, I really want to have a robot toy that can turn into a car!!"
"Oh yeah sus, then go straight to Rifky's room between meals. Don't eat late." Aluna's Word.
"Nice doc."
Aluna continued to step, until when passing through the park her steps stopped. His eyes looked at a man sitting on a park bench alone.
Aluna walked closer. "Assalamualaik."
Doctor Firman looked over, he smiled a little. "Waalaikum salam."
"Please."
Aluna sat her body, keeping her distance. The two were silent to each other, Aluna's bright brown eyeballs catching the guilt still painted on the doctor's face beside her. "Still thinking about what happened, Doc?"
Doctor Firman turned his head, then looked up at the night sky. His head was small.
"The doctor has done his best, there is nothing to regret." Aluna.
The doctor said a long sigh, then said. "This is the first time that my surgery failed, and it resulted in the lives of patients who were lost."
He paused his sentence for a moment by massaging the temple slowly. "I feel like I failed in my duties and obligations today." Further.
Aluna mangosteen. His eyes looked at the green grass below. "Yes, I understand the disappointment the doctor felt. Our priority is patient life. But we can't fight Doc's destiny either."
"I also know very well what it's like to lose the one we love." Continue with shrewd.
Now Doctor Firman saw Aluna clingy. "Therefore doc, I can also feel how someone feels about losing their loved ones. It's like I took him from his family."
"Hhhhh. No, stop blaming yourself, Doc." Cut Aluna.
"I don't blame myself, but that guilt keeps coming." He answered by shaking his head slowly.
The mood went quiet after that. The two are again made to dwell by their respective minds. "Oh yeah.."
"Do you know where to buy a good robot?" Aluna asked after a moment of silence.
Doctor Firman smiled widely. "What do you want to do?"
"Yes to buy. A robot that can turn into a car. Where did you buy it?"
"Toy's new shop there are a lot of toys. Try to find there, must be a lot of toy robots like that."
"Where is doc?"
"Oh ain't far from Grand City Mall, would I drop off?"
"That's okay, thank you. But let me go alone." Answer Aluna.
•••••
The clock has now shown ten o'clock more. Aluna turned off the bike after reaching the garage. He walked towards the house and opened the door.
"Assalamualaik."
"WAALAIKUM SALAM."
Aluna was a little surprised when her greeting was answered simultaneously.
He was fixated for a few seconds, his eyes still pointing to the men sitting on the large carpet. It is estimated that there may be 7 people plus his father and sister who joined together.
Aluna nodded, she nodded her head. "Excuse me..." He walked back a little bowing in honor. There is also his father there.
Not directly to the room, Aluna chose to go to the kitchen. Usually, his stomach is always hungry after returning home from work. There, it turns out that there is a group of people who are busy making drinks.
"Assalamualaikum, what else is bun doing?" Ask Aluna.
"Teh angel. Want to make it too?"
"Not to get bun." Answer Aluna by taking the banana that was on the dinner table. Then devour.
"That's outside whose guests are bun?"
"Your sister."
"Oh, how come the mallards met?"
"Yes, tonight they're on a nginep here." Aluna looked completely at her mother.
"What event is it?"
"Tomorrow your sister will climb the mountain, eat her friends in the gathering. Tomorrow go together."
"Mother with permission?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Yeah..." Lirih Aluna's.
"Why brother?"
Disappointed, Aluna replied. "Pengen join the bun.but can't."
The middle-aged woman laughed. "When if there is a holiday schedule, besides if you also do not feel good. It's all men." Her speech. "Sister, could you please anterin drink ahead?"
Aluna nodded and stood up. "Can." His hands stretched out to receive a tray of drinks. He slowly walked towards the living room. Serving warm tea to them while still subjecting the inner gaze.
"Thank you Lun.." Iqbal.
"Yes." Yeah." Only that was the answer that came out, when many men like this Aluna did not dare to talk much. Immediately, he stood up straight and walked.
Almost in the kitchen, I sayup he heard his father say a little loudly. From his tone there was shock and happiness. "Wow! Your brother was his friend!! Oh my God, I found his son here."
Aluna took a step back, she looked back. His father was embracing the shoulder of a man sitting behind him. "So you're Raka's friend?"
"Yes, um."
"What's dad's friend?" Muttering Aluna, a few seconds speechless she chose to be indifferent with all that and continued her steps towards the kitchen. He put the tray on the kitchen pantry.
"Udah?" Ask Mommy.
"Yes. Then I'm going to go to Bun's room."
"Hm, go straight to bed rest, baby."
"Yeah..."
Aluna picked up her white coat and bag that she had put on the dining table chair. Then he went upstairs to the room. As usual, Aluna went straight into the bathroom to clean herself and change clothes to sleep. Neutralize his achy body.
After that, he grabbed the bag. Taking her cell phone is about to charge her. But the ringing of the phone made his eyes catch the unfamiliar number stamped on his HP screen.
Without hesitation Aluna replied. "Hello, who?"
