My Beginning and My End

A surprising verdict

The next day arrived. Ani looks well in her uniform.

"Son what you should not permit first. I'm afraid there's nothing later when you teach. "

Ani who was tidying up her cradle looked at her mother and replied.

"It's okay mom, it's healthy. Yesterday was just exhausted, "Ani replied trying to calm her mother down.

"Yes already then. Be careful, son. This mother has prepared provisions for you later at school. "

"It's off buk, assalamualaikum. "

"Getishalight." Ibuk replied while looking at Ani's departure.

I don't know why Ani's feelings today are erratic. A sudden feeling of wanting to cry without knowing why.

He also spoke in his own heart.

"Is there anything big today?

Why do I feel so sad when nothing happens.

May my mother at home be well, "inner Ani.

Once at school Ani was busy with her activities in the library.

In addition to being a weekly journalist at javapost and Indonesian teacher at SMK he also became a library teacher responsible for a fairly large library. Because this school is an SMK and D3 school that become one, so the students here are quite a lot.

And of course, Ani was also quite busy.

"Mbak has eaten, if not let's go to the cafeteria to eat meatballs with me."

Erna surprised Ani who was again focused on checking the results of the exam.

"Already dik, earlier brought the same provisions mother. It's a lot of work. Just go first."

Erna nodded in understanding and came out of the library.

Today the temperature felt so cold for Ani. Pale face and body feels cold.

Ani looked at the clock in her hand.

still showing at 13:00.

"It's still a long time to go home, why does my body feel tired huh? " Ani muttered to herself.

"Good thing today is only teaching 1 class. "

As Ani stood up to put the books on the shelf she was pinning.

A student shouted for help.

Ani is taken to the hospital by the school.

**

An open eye. He looks around.

Ani is already human. He didn't expect to end up in the ER.

Erna saw her brother immediately stormed with many questions.

"How's brother, still dizzy? What's that hurt? Brother hasn't had a chance to eat? Why did you get to Pinsan? "

Ani smiled faintly at her sister's question with a distinctive worried look.

"Mbak it's okay just suddenly dizzy, when open your eyes eh already here. Don't tell your parents they're afraid. "

Erna nodded in agreement and sat down beside Ani while stroking Ani's hand sincerely.

"Who is Ani's mother's guardian?" a doctor walked towards Erna.

"I'm a doctor" Erna replied as she moved from her seat.

"Let my mother come to my room, "give me a doctor.

Erna saw Ani who was asleep and followed the doctor.

"This buk is not good news" the doctor gave the opening words.

"How did the dock result," asked Erna curious about her brother's condition.

"Ani's mother had breast cancer. His condition is now severe. We entered stage 3. But inshallah can still be healed. "

The doctor looks very careful in delivering the results.

Erna who did not expect to hear this was just daydreaming with a lot of thoughts in her head.

"How can I pass this on to Ani's mother and father? How will they feel when they hear this? What am I supposed to do now?" erna in the heart.

The doctor who saw Erna's uneasiness gave her hope.

"Many patients at his age experience something like this even have stage 4. But with the spirit of life, they were finally able to recover. Yes, of course, with regular treatment efforts ibuk. Mother, don't be agitated. This will make the patient think more negatively. Keep encouraging and supporting them so they can live this lightly. We at the hospital will help as much as possible so that patients can recover. For now Ani's mom can go downstairs. I will give you a prescription and a control schedule. Later I try to slowly talk when I get home about his condition."

Erna nodded in understanding.

"Let's know what the cause is, doc, " asked Erna curiously. Why suddenly my brother who only works writing and learning can get cancer.

"We still don't know the exact cause. But usually breast cancer can occur due to genetic factors, heredity, can also be due to an unhealthy lifestyle and can also be due to age. "

"Okay, doctor thank you. Please help me for my brother's recovery. "

Erna walked absent-mindedly towards ugd.

His body feels weak. He's sitting in the hospital chair taking out his phone.

Viewing a photo gallery with Ani. The more sad his heart.

The ringing of the hp reads "husband". That's Joko's husband from Erna. Erna picked up the phone.

"Hallo mas, " answered Erna lesuh

"How did the result go? " ask Joko.

Not even a single sentence Erna cried.

Joko who heard from across the phone became worried with the attitude of his wife who suddenly cried like that.

He knows Erna's character. Erna is a jolly. She's a strong woman who won't show her sadness let alone in a public place.

"Something must have gone wrong, " thought Joko.

Finally, after being satisfied, Erna cried and told her about her brother's condition to Joko.

Joko who heard that was also shocked and sad.

He knows exactly how Ani is. He always acted strong. Even until now Ani also did not want to get married. Even when he was the scorn of shirk people he still smiled as if there was no problem.

How Ani would receive this news. No one will accept the curse. He won't complain. All he did was smile and say he was okay.

This is what makes Erna, Joko and Ani's parents more handsome to Ani.

Pretending to be strong in front of a lot of people. And now there's another test.

***

It's getting late. The clock is 16:00.

"Not felt in the hospital for 3 hours, "inner Erna.

In the taxi Erna just silent and occasionally see Ani.

Ani smiled lightly and asked, "why is dikadi seein mbak? "

"It's okay mbak, " replied Erna with a smile.

"Ohya, you were in a hurry to take me home until I couldn't ask what the doctor said". Ani was also curious about the results.

"Later home" answered Erna, stroking her brother's hand.

Arriving at the house Erna leads Ani into the house.

Erna and Ani were a little shocked upon entering the house.

He saw Doni and Dita (both sons of Erna) watching tv and father mom sitting at the middle room table with mas Joko.

They didn't think everyone was here. It makes Erna nervous because she doesn't know what to say right now.

"Assalamualikum," Erna gave a greeting.

"Greetings Walaikum" the three replied in unison.

Ibuk immediately helped Ani to go straight into her room.

"It's hard to make warm tea, son. You rest first," while leaving Ani's room.

It was seen that she signaled to Erna to leave Ani's room.

Erna nodded her head and followed behind.

Erna sat next to Joko. Joko seemed to signal that the father and mother already knew the condition of Ani.

Joko initiative tell father and mother. Because he knew very well his wife could not do it.

Erna saw the mother who entered Ani's room carrying tea and bread out a few minutes later.

"Here is the buk sitting next to the father, "the father said as he patted the empty seat next to him.

"Well, what is the name of the test, do not make the burden of the mind for this family. Be lived, acted and grateful". They started talking to the four of them.

"Erna, your husband told you all about what happened today in the hospital and about your mother's health. Let me talk to your mother later if you can't".

You look strong at 70 years old.

The mother next to him was seen crying in silence.

Tears fell without sound.

How can a mother calmly hear the condition of her child like that. Even the 68-year-old has never been sick like that.

Erna who saw her mother like that also could not bear to see her. She was seen crying in Joko's arms.

Only the father looked strong at the time.

Everyone knows that his heart is crying too.

Currently the usual warm and carefree house instantly became cloudy and cold.

They want to feel sadness.
