My Beginning and My End

Ani's ferocity

Ani has been in the queue of oncologists since this morning. He turned back the queue paper which was clearly written no 5.

"Assalamualaikum ma'am, "vote in front of him.

Ani raised her head and looked at Reyhan smiling in front of her.

"Eh you Reyhan, haven't come see the doctor? " ask Ani.

"Had come but was still talking to another doctor after this definitely here. How is Ms Ani? " Reyhan asked the situation of his teacher who was now getting thinner.

"Alhamdulilah ya like this is still strong, "Ani replied with a smile.

"Thank God ma'am, then I go in first yes prepare patient data for Doctor Hendry, " said Reyhan.

"Oh yes please, "Ani replied while nodding her head.

Finally, after waiting for Ani's turn came.

Ani entered a room that was very familiar to her now.

"To my mother, "greet Dr. Hendry.

"For the doctor, "Ani answered while sitting down.

"How is this, what is now being felt? " ask doctor Hendry.

Ani explained all the complaints felt so far. And Ani has also explained that she did the recommended thing and left the discouraged.

"Alright, " replied Dr. Hendry understood.

"About when Ms. Ani is ready for surgery. Next sunday? " tanya dojter Hendry chimed in on Ani's wishes.

"I'm ready doctor," replied Ani excitedly.

"Then I will schedule the operation of Ms. Ani next week on Wednesday. Sobu Ani should rest on Tuesday . Weekly permit for surgery because after surgery bu Ani must be hospitalized a few days here". Dr. Hendry explained the complete surgical procedure to Ms. Ani.

The consultation session is over. Ani pamit go home.

On the road to school Ani thought of all the doctor's words.

Ani looks happy because her cancer cells will be removed, but she also looks anxious because this is the first time she has surgery.

***

It's afternoon. Ani tidied up all her things and went home.

When crossed by the public relations room he saw Bambang mas alone in front of the table with a lot of paper.

Ani suddenly wants to stop and say hello to Mas Bambang.

"Not yet to go home," asked Ani who had entered the room.

Mas Bambang invited Ani to sit down.

"Tumben nih bu Ani stopped by the publicist? " tanya mas Bambang.

"Yes mas, I want to ask if can ngajuin long leave, so that I have never been on leave for more than 2 days?" ask Ani.

"Where are you going on sabbatical? " tanya mas Bambang.

Finally in this quiet and calm afternoon Ani told her condition to mas Bambang.

After hearing Ani's story, she was shocked.

He did not expect that behind his stern attitude he shouldered a heavy test and that he went through well.

"Well I understand, Later Ani ma'am just give a doctor letter ma'am. But I also do not promise that Ani's disease will be kept secret. Because the letter I will give to the chairman of the foundation for permission because the mother's permission is more than a week so written by the doctor there must be details about the pain, " said mas Bambang.

"Well, if you are a manti, I will ask for a letter of permission to my doctor. Please help, " said Ani.

"Ready ma'am, "Bambang nods his head.

After a long conversation that took time until Maghrib finally they decided to go home with each other.

Ani really did not expect that she would tell others about her situation today.

But sooner or later it must all be revealed, he thought.

***

Once at home Ani chatted with her mother's father about the operation plan.

They strongly agreed with the operating decision Ani made. With the surgical removal of cancer suffered by Ani at least the cancer did not spread more severe.

But Ani did not explain the details to her parents that doctors also explained by surgery sometimes cancer cells can grow again.

Even if they smile, there seems to be some concern for him.

After all was planned carefully and the family agreed Ani was willing to sleep to rest.

***

The morning looked bright and calm. Ani rides her beat bike casually towards school.

Arriving at the school Ani went straight to the teacher's room. Ani wants to meet with Erna immediately and tell her about the operation plan next week.

Yesterday, Ani called Erna just to say that there is something to tell her at school tomorrow.

Ani arrived first in the teacher's room. There are only a few teachers. Erna hasn't appeared yet.

Ani waited while sitting in her place and corrected the three student assignments that she had not completed yesterday.

A few moments later, Erna was seen.

"Assalamualaikum everyone, "great greeting Erna to all the teachers in the room.

"Walaikumsalam bu Erna is beautiful, " replied teacher Agustin one of the teachers in Smk added slwith many smiles other teachers who say hello to Erna.

Erna who saw her brother headed straight for Ani.

And Ani took her to the cafeteria.

The cafeteria was still quiet because merchants usually arrived around 8 a.m.

But that was the mood Ani was looking for. Quiet and nice place to make a story.

Ani finally told Erna the plan of the operation.

And happily Erna also agreed with the decision of the operation chosen by Ani.

Their conversation ended with a smile on both of their faces.

***

A week has passed.

Today Monday Ani came to the hospital to take a doctor's letter to be given to mas Bambang.

After leaving the hospital, Anildam rushed to the school.

Ani is still teaching today. But on Tuesday Ani has permission not to teach at the school because tomorrow Ani wants to rest and prepare for Wednesday's operation.

Ani taught as usual. However he saw some teachers looking at him and smiling at him differently.

The license from Reyhan's doctor is very complete with an explanation of the cancer verdict in Ani's suffering.

And the news has spread in various circles.

Many teachers are saddened by the state of Ani now even students also feel the same way.

Even if they know they are pretending as usual.

Bambang who already knew earlier than the others is also still sad with the state of Ani.

Bambang also felt guilty because not a day this news had spread. But how else. Many work and they cannot be guaranteed to keep a secret after reading the doctor's letter from Ani.

Erna was shocked when there were some teachers praying that Ani's operation would run smoothly.

Erna was curious to ask how they knew.

The teachers said that they knew from the foundation people because Ani applied for a week off and that there had to be a reason. So the foundation asked for a doctor's letter written with the state of Ani in order to get a sabbatical.

The teacher's explanation to Erna did not make Erna's worries disappear. Erna went straight to the library to meet with Ani.

But when he got there, Erna saw Ani dililimgi some teachers and they chatted with a smile.

Erna came in and came to them.

Ani held Erna's hand as if saying.

"I'm doing fine".

Erna who was relieved by it was visible from her face and Ani smiled at him and they continued chatting with the other teachers.

Many teachers and coworkers gave support and prayers to Ani sincerely.

Ani felt even more excited for her operation because of the many prayers she received.

It turns out that opening up is better.
