Mama, I Love You!

The Long Night

Ifah is still waiting for the nurse who will move the father to the ICU room, he still does not talk much, the woman just stood up while holding a plastic bag containing fruit and her bag.

"Come sir, we move to the ICU room, please follow me to know the room" said a nurse

Ifah followed the three sisters who pushed the iron mattress that the father slept on, their footsteps were so fast, making Ifah pant after him.

"Ma, mama." call dad

Ifah did not dismiss the call, he continued to follow the father who was being encouraged by the sisters. He still thought that he only remembered his mother.

*why did you keep quiet from that?* thought the father, it turns out that what is in the eyes of the father is true, it is the figure of the mother who had taken care of her transfer, but was not realized by Ifah.

Arriving in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU)

Ifah approached the nurse who was preparing a prescription medication.

"Suster, can I talk to you for a second?"

"Yes please, ma'am! What's the need?"

"Look, my mother is also in the ER room, she passed out in the bathroom and now gets special care, while the father does not know, I am afraid if I tell you, he's having a heart attack"

"Lho, his mother is newly treated or has been sick for a long time?"

"Ummm, new sus"

"Yes, you should not be told first, because it will endanger the father, fearing he can not accept this"

"Oh that's it, yeah, that's it, thanks!"

Ifah came back to my father.

"Sir, Ifah is back again yes, pity Nina alone"

"Fah, please massage your head yes, your head feels sore"

*it turns out you're aware that this is me, not mama*

Ifah massages the head of the father, while daydreaming.

"Well, is mom asleep?" the voice of the father broke his daydream

"I. yeah, maybe mama's soy sauce"

"Worthy from earlier mama malu mulu mulu malu chat"

"When sir?"

"So it's coming here"

*astagfirullah, it turns out that you really think I am a mother, why could it be like this? Or maybe the figure of the mother really exists and accompany the father when going to move the room*

At 2:00 a.m., Nina and Ifah fell asleep together in the waiting room, their backs to each other, because they were not really asleep. Heavy tears still wet their faces, can not be denied. Nina thought she would sleep together with her mom tonight, but in fact she slept in a cold room that had to be filled with medicine hoses, without blankets and clothes that she liked, but mama can not do anything, just imagine it makes Nina's heart feel more crowded.

Nina's sobs made Ifah look back, and pat Nina on the back.

"Nin, you have to sleep, mom and dad are fine, we must always think positive!"

"Hiks. hicks.." Nina tried to stay still and did not make her crying voice, although she said she was going to sleep, but her mind still could not fall asleep, she just tried to cover it from Ifah. Not long those who are awake also sleep, until the tears on the cheeks dry up.

The night to the morning was so cold, the wind blew fiercely entered the sidelines of the room, piercing the human skin that was there, the more cold it felt to the heart.

Ifah woke up, the sound of the adhan from the hospital mosque reverberated with his merdunya woke the woman, in addition to feeling a very cold. He immediately took ablution water for prayer, in his prayer, his tears flowed profusely, the groan of do'a and dhikr uttered from his mouth.

The sounds of the patient's mattress wheel that was pushed by the nurses were so clear in his hearing, many people were still awake, some were due to duty, some were because they could not comfort there.

Ifah awakens Nina for early morning prayers.

The morning is getting brighter, sunlight highlights between the ventilation of the room and the windows on the glass reflect the light. Ifah who had just bought breakfast approached Nina and opened a rice box. Suddenly came some people he knew, he was Nova, Rara, Abimana and aunt Ratna. They came with pale faces and a little puffiness in their eyes.

Nina's heart felt better because of their arrival, and ate up the breakfast her brother gave her. After feeling better, Nina told Ifah "Sister, I haven't told you about this incident, I'm afraid of you....."

Nina has not finished her words, Ifah immediately cut "Iya Nin, sister has also talked this with sister, she said do not tell first, so we pray that mama today realized yes"

"Oh yeah, how's mom? What's going on?" the question that haunted her mind since night finally came out as well, she actually wanted to ask, but did not want to make Nina cry even more.

"Mama.mama has a concussion because of his blood pressure is so high, the blood vessels in his brain rupture, now mama needs our do'a and spirit because his level of consciousness is only 5, because his level of consciousness is only 5, after reaching 7, the new doctor dared to perform the operation" said Nina

Everyone who heard it bowed, their tears gushing, disappointment and guilt flashed through their respective minds.

Aunt Ratna held onto Nina's clenched hand and squeezed her own clothes "Nin, the other aunt wants to see your mama's current state, please show her where the room is!" said aunt Ratna

"Yes aunt, come with me"

Aunty Ratna, Nova, Rara and Abimana rose from their seats leaving Ifah in the waiting room.

Arrived in front of the mama's room "You can only enter one by one yes, not both because this is the hospital rule"

"Yes already, let the aunt who entered first yes"

aunt Ratna entered the room, she could not hold back her tears, she stroked my face, and recited a do'a, her hands reached her and as if holding her pulse, she said, the sobs of the middle-aged woman were growing, unbearable.

"Tante, can you replace it? I wanted to hug my mom" Nova appeared behind Ratna, and she left the room.

"Ma, I'm sorry ma, I should still be looking after mama, I shouldn't have left mama yesterday, huhuhu, hiks" Nova regretted that she had left her mama alone, although it was not actually his fault.

Abimana and Rara entered one by one, alternately, sadness and tears continued to flow in their eyes. It felt so crowded for Abimana, because she could only meet her mama once a month.
