METAPHOR OF YOUNG LEGISLATOR LOVE

Are You Ready, Sir?

Daniel tried to ignore the anxiety for the sake of the anxiety that was in his heart, although for a moment, Daniel chose to be silent in his own heartbeat, which was getting smolder, the longer it was, then it overflowed until it was able to shake the vibration of the taste within his chest.

Yes, one answer would be do'a and his repentance of past mistakes he would get today. Will God have mercy? Or allow himself to bear the karma of a sin he believes in?

Daniel's mind continued to dance, anxiety and turmoil now flying with a beam of light that had long disappeared from view. And now, will God hear the earnestness of the taste that has always been reflected in the strands of the do'a of Daniel and Naja? Whatever it is, His scenario must be more beautiful than just the hope of mankind.

"All right, Mr. Daniel. Are you ready?" the doctor asked, confirming Daniel's readiness before the bandage wrapped his eyes was removed.

"Yes, Doc. I'm already ready. Are you really ready, honey?" Daniel threw the doctor's question to Naja, clasping her hand tightly.

"We are ready, Doctor," said Naja with complete confidence in his heart.

"good. Please sit down, sir," said one doctor politely.

After Daniel took a sitting position, a doctor approached Daniel, and began to open a plaster that glued one part of gauze to another gauze bandaged his eyes around his head. As soon as the plaster was removed, the doctor painstakingly opened the bandage that was coiled around Daniel's head in a circular motion.

One round, two rounds, three rounds, the faces of everyone present stiffened even more. Four rounds, five rounds, Daniel clenched his hand, as did Aghata and the others. Even now Rani closed her eyes and hugged Ryan tightly, as well as Lena. She turned her body and hid behind the chest of her husband's field, for it was so tense to witness the moments that determined the fate of her brother's life. Six rounds, seven rounds, eight rounds, until the ninth round which is the end of the bandage tip was successfully released.

"Okay, Mr. Daniel. There are only two pieces of gauze that close your eyes. Listen carefully to my words! Whatever you see later, stay calm, because not all success in an eye surgery is as normal as ever. There are those whose vision immediately returns to normal, some are returning slowly gradually. So remember, whatever you see later, you need to stay calm. Okay?" hearing the doctor's words, their hearts were racing.

"Okay, Doctor," in a trembling voice, Daniel confirmed the doctor's words.

"By, Rani's really excited, By. Rani was afraid," whispered Rani softly, tightening her arms in her husband's arms.

"Help do'a, honey. Hubby's sure, our do'a-do'a is what Daniel needs now" Ryan half-whispered.

"OKAY. Keep your eyes closed, Mr. Daniel. Don't open it before I ask you and give you a cue" the doctor said once again.

"All right, Doc," replied Daniel, taking a deep breath, then slowly taking it out again.

Slowly, the doctor began to open one gauze starting from the right eye of Daniel, then switch to take the gauze that covers his left eye. After handing the rest of the gauze, bandages and other tools to a nurse, the doctor began to let out a long sigh. Yes, the doctor also felt tense, considering the success and failure of every action he took, determining whether or not the profession was worth it.

"Okay, now listen to me again, sir. You can open your eyes slowly. Remember, slowly, sir," the successful doctor said, making everyone tremble.

With his heart beating ten times faster than usual, Daniel opened his eyes slowly. A second later, he blinked his eyes, and what appeared was not a dark black color anymore, but a gray light. He blinked his eyes once more, a dazzling bright white color was now coming in, forcing him to close his eyes again.

"What's up, sir? What do you feel?" ask the doctor while frowning his forehead.

Naja, Aghata and all those who were there started to tense up and guess. Even now that Naja's tears had melted away, it could not be imagined if the operation had really failed as he feared.

"Give your help, O Lord. Restore my husband's vision. Please, Lord Rabb. Servant please," do'a Naja in heart.

"Ssttts. Still in process, honey. Daniel's eyes are still in adjustment. It takes time to get back to normal like before" replied Arsen.

"You see all black? Or is there another color you caught, Mister?" the doctor asked again.

"Not black, Doctor. The first time I opened my eyes, it was like a thick gray fog. When I blinked again, a white light suddenly came in, and my eyes couldn't catch the light, Doc. The white light was absolutely dazzling," Daniel replied calmly.

"Okay, now let's try it again! Are you ready, Sir? Open it slowly. Okay?" the doctor said curious.

This time Daniel opened his eyes more slowly than before. Even so softly, he narrowed his eyes first, worried that the white light was back in and unable to accept it like a few minutes ago. Slowly, Daniel widened his eyes and flickered for a while. The shadow of thick fog came back again, this time accompanied by a black shadow. He blinked his eyes again, over time the fog faded, faded, and continued to fade, until the shadow of some people in front of him was able to capture perfectly.

"How, Master?" the doctor was getting curious.

"Dok, I can see everything, Doc. I can really see all of you. Mom, Dad, honey, everyone, I can see you again" Daniel exclaimed in excitement. Aghata immediately scatters and hugs him, as well as his father Arsen. Naja who was beside Daniel could only cry happily while smothering his mouth, as well as the others. Rani hugs Ryan happily, as well as Lena and Arya. Nina and Davina who witnessed the heartwarming moment from the balcony of the room also embraced each other with joy. Even Johan and Rudi who was famous for being cold and flat, at that time was not ashamed to take out the clear grain from the end of his eyes.

"Honey," as soon as Aghata and Arsen let go of his embrace, Daniel was so impatient to see the pretty face of Naja that he had missed so much.

"Close!" Daniel stretched out his hand, realizing that Naja was just crying in her place. She returned her husband's hand and sat down beside him.

"Do you know what I'd like to see first if God restored my vision?" Naja shook his head slowly. The clear thread from his eyes still flowed profusely without being able to bear it.

"I want to see a beautiful girl who has convinced me many times that she will be my eyes and make my world full of color. I would love to see my faithful wife who is even willing to be my feet and hands, which will make me feel like I have the world. And I really want to see my woman who says that love is in my heart and your heart. Love not only grows in my eyes and eyes, but also my birth and your birth. Love is the language of the soul that cannot be replaced by millions of words in the world, even blinding physical perfection. Do you know who that girl is? He's you" Daniel couldn't hold back his tears. He immediately pulled Naja's body and held it tightly, as if he was unwilling if he had to take it off.

Everyone who watched the drama was shocked. Their chests were so crowded, witnessing two loves that remained one like any troubling ordeal.

"We are happy, sir. But you still have to control your eyes regularly, so that if there is a problem, we can take action as soon as possible" said the doctor with a happy smile.

"Well, Doc," Daniel replied as he let go of his embrace.

"One more, Sir. There are still some drugs and antibiotics that we have to give, therefore, tomorrow morning you are only allowed to go home" said the doctor again.

"Good, Doctor. Thank you for your help" said Daniel with his sweetest smile.

The doctor left and left them all.

"Thank you, Doc," everyone in Daniel's room thanked him at the same time.
