METAPHOR OF YOUNG LEGISLATOR LOVE

The Day of the Waiting

Up there, now millions of stars flash captivatingly. The black cotton blob that was marching suddenly disappeared, even though some time ago it was still raining. Perhaps this is a sign that nature is showing happiness. So also with the air blowing between the singing night birds. His slow movements, as if praising the greatness of God Almighty Creates. Especially when the moon finally came, the earth satellite

coming soon replaces the darkness, making its charm so soothing. Such are also the feelings of souls who are now actually being stricken with anxiety?

"Ahh," Daniel sighed softly. He took a deep breath and then took it back out slowly.

"What if the transplant fails?" daniel asked as he fumbled around his bed, looking for Naja's hand. Surat anxiety was completely visible from Daniel's face at that moment.

Naja immediately grabbed her husband's hand and held it tightly.

"Maximize effort and strengthen with do'a, dear. Prejudice be kind to God, for He will give according to what we expect of Him" said Naja.

A little while later, Aghata, Arsen, Arya, Lena, Johan as well as Nina walked into the room. While Ryan and Rani with Rudi who will attend the funeral of Mr. Atmaja, finally joined also considering the funeral will finally be held the next morning.

“Give God,” said Ryan while patting Daniel on the shoulder with affection.

"Yes, I must leave everything to Him" Daniel seemed to force his smile, though anxiety remained unable to hide.

Ten minutes later, a nurse came in and told him Daniel had to get ready. Shortly thereafter, the nurse carefully injected three liquids into an infusion hose pre-installed in Daniel's right hand.

Yes, the day they had been waiting for finally came. Daniel will have surgery that night, too. Before the nurse took Daniel to the operating room, an elderly man came and led do’a. Daniel, Naja and all those who came to wait for Daniel to undergo the transplant gathered in silence. They all lowered their heads, closed their eyes and began to agree do’a for the sake of do’a that the old man spelled to ask the Creator. And for the first time, Daniel felt that do’a was able to tear down pride and prick his heart. Tears suddenly broke, not only from the eyes of Daniel, but also all the eyes that were now dissolved in the strand of do'a they asked for.

After the joint do’a was finished, two nurses pushed Daniel's bed, followed by his entire family behind. Naja who tried to follow the nurse's quick steps still walked beside Daniel lying, while continuing to hold her husband's hand. They passed through room after room and long hallways, before finally arriving at the operating room that had been waiting for him.

“Sorry, family please wait here,” said a nurse before opening the operating room door.

“Honey, we are waiting here, yes. We all’a for you. Remember, God will give something according to the prejudices of His servants. Passion for me, okay? I love you,” said Naja as she kissed and stroked the tip of her husband's head.

“Iya, Darling. I can't wait to see my wife's beautiful face again. I love you too,” said Daniel while taking off his wife's hand.

Second by second it was running. Naja was seen walking back and forth in front of the operating room, as if time would spin faster than usual.

“Relax, Naja. We ber’a together hopefully everything goes according to plan,” said Aghata, to calm his daughter-in-law.

“Huh,” Naja looks to throw a rough breath, as if so her anxiety will disappear.

Until it was not felt, two hours passed just like that. The light above the operating room door goes out, indicating the operation has been completed. And true, a doctor came out and met them with a sparkling expression.

“How is the operation, Doc?” Ryan immediately moved and approached the doctor with curiosity.

“Alhamdulillah the operation went very smoothly. We'll move Mr. Daniel to the treatment room soon. He must remain in the hospital until the bandage can be removed and we find out if Mr. Daniel's vision is functioning normally,” explained the doctor with a smile that continues to curl on his lips.

“About how long until the bandage can be opened, Doc?” ask Naja impatiently.

“It will take at least eight days, Miss,” he replied, then go back inside the room.

Before long, the door of the operating room opened. Daniel, with his eyes wrapped in bandages, was being led by two nurses to the hospital room where Daniel was treated after falling down the stairs.

Bagitu arrived and the nurse came out, the atmosphere of silence was inevitable. All dissolved with each other's thoughts, while waiting for Daniel to wake up and the effects of the drug disappeared. Naja who continued to be beside Daniel's bed unceasingly recited do’a, while tightly grasping her husband's hand. Aghata who chose to sit on the sofa, continued to lean on the shoulder of Arsen who was now sitting next to him. Arya and Lena who had been sitting next to Aghata, were also just silent looking at Daniel who was still unconscious. Rani and Ryan were sitting on another sofa in front of them. While continuing to stroke his wife's stomach, Ryan unceasingly kissed the head of Rani who always spoiled without shame wherever they were.

Unlike everyone who chose in the room, Johan and Nina instead waited for Daniel on the balcony of the treatment room. Nina, who was standing looking at the night lights in the city, hugged her husband from behind. Yeah, it's out of Johan's way. Usually Johan will only be sweet to Nina while in the room, it was very rare. Of course because Johan was always cold and very concerned about work. But ever since Nina vented her emotions that afternoon, Johan finally realized how much she was afraid of losing.

“Never leave me,” whispered Johan in Nina's ear.

“Never, dear,” Nina looked at Johan, then continued to lean on the chest of her husband's field which was now docked, until there was no longer any distance between the two of them.

Until a voice from the inside, shocked everyone.

“Darling, have you realized?” great-granddaughter Naja.

Hearing Naja say that out loud, everyone rushed up to Daniel and took a circular position around the bed, where he lay and tried to regain his consciousness slowly.
