My girlfriend, my daughter-in-law (Mantu becomes sister-in-law)

27. Penalty Testing

After taking Ina to campus, Rangga drove Kania to the hospital. Kania complains these few days every morning of her body like pain to the bone. If you move a little it hurts a lot.

"Hmm .. It could be the age factor." Guess Rangga was greeted with Kania's hardness.

"You think aunt is old. Aunt is 45, ga. Not 50 or 10 years above your age. Papa you once told me he married your mama when your mama just finished high school so her son is already this big." Say Kania while shuffling her stepson's hair.

"Ohhh, I think aunty the same age as my eyes, 53."

"No, Ga. I was born 75 while your mom wasn't 69 or 70. Papa and mama you're way above me."

"Ga"

"Yes, aunt."

"If one day, auntie goes first, auntie tipped Ina, yes. Aunt just believes in you, Ga. Auntie knows how you feel about Ina. Aunty is sure you could be a big sister or maybe a good husband for Ina."

The atmosphere in the waiting room of Mitra Keluarga hospital was silent. Kania's speech was successful in fostering hope for Rangga. The hope that he had long piled since he started college hope first in a girl who was still in elementary school at that time. Funny indeed, when that love grew on the little girl who was then 11 years old. The age range is 20 years.

"Aunty by the way, anyway? Aunty has no intention of meeting Ina with her father's family."

Kania shakes. She was sure her late husband's family would not accept Ina's presence. He was rejected by the family, let alone Ina. Kania does not want to add to Ina's suffering, she wants her daughter to be happy. For him Rangga is the right figure for his daughter.

"Mother Kania..." The nurse's voice called.

Currently Kania checked himself into internal medicine. The complaints he had been feeling lately were really torturing him. But as much as possible he closed his health problems to those closest to him.

Kania went into the office of Dr. Candra.

"What complaints, ma'am?"

"Gini, doc. Lately my body has been hurting. Keep on me like the flu and vomit blood."

"Hmmm, let me check first."

Doctor Candra examines Kania closely.

Sometimes his head shook his head when he saw the note on his desk.

"Mom likes to smoke, huh?"

Kania's face immediately flushed. He used to be a smoker. But it has stopped for months.

"Why, doc?"

"Mother's lungs are damaged. Usually this is damaged by smoking. So I asked if my mom smoked"

Kania nodded, the doctor again shook his head. He said that there are women who smoke.

"How old is your mother?"

"45 years"

"Have married?"

"I'm a widow, doc."

"Already, sir. My son is 19 years old."

"Mother is young. At this age of the mother, the mother should be a role model for the mother's child. Seeing it successful in the future, but with the condition of the mother like this, Mother even broke the spirit of her child. I'm sorry if I talk a lot, I'm not just having lung problems. But there are organs of the mother's body that seem to be problematic as well. Letter of introduction for Mom to do a blood test."

The doctor pulled out a piece of paper to take it to another room. Kania walked slowly to the room to do a blood test. All the way to the room Kania cried. The doctor's words really pierced his heart, realizing that regret always happens at the end.

"I'm sorry, mom, Ina. Forgive me, God."

Arriving at the Lab, Kania is examined. Blood samples were also taken.

"Mom came here again at four o'clock in the afternoon to get her lab results."

Kania left the poly room and sat back in the waiting room. There's no way he's asking her to catch up. Kania believes Rangga is currently preoccupied with his work.

"What's your mom sick?" Ask one of the women sitting next to him.

"Said the doctor my lungs are damaged, ma'am."

"Inalillahi wa innalillahi rojiun." Said the woman.

"Mom, I'm alive, lo."

"Mom, I know. But the speech is not just to be alive, but every little disaster that happens in our lives. That word we need to say."

"Shoolat, mom. Bring it closer to almighty."

"I haven't prayed in a long time, ma'am. Maybe it's a punishment from God. Even if I pray it will no longer be accepted."

"Who said, ma'am? Allah is forgiving to his servant. Even if you pray at the end of your life, you're forgiven by God."

Kania moved from the waiting room to. The witness came to the Istiqlal mosque, Kania asked one of the mosque staff about the Istiqlal library. In the end the staff escorted Kania to a room full of books lined up on the shelves.

"Mom, can anyone help you?" Ask a library visitor.

"I'm looking for a book about prayer. I want to learn to pray, sir."

"Subhanallah, ma'am. May Istiqomah yes, ma'am."

The father took Kania to a shelf containing several books. Then the father took a small book and gave it to Kania "If you want to learn the basic reading this just first"

"Thank you, sir." Kania wanted to greet the Father, but the father only used distant greetings.

Kania sat down to read the book. He took a long time to read that reading. So engrossed in reading, Kania forgot to enter Zuhur.

"Mother, it's Azan, pray first, ma'am. The library will close first."

"Ah, yes." Kania moved from the library.

Kania chose not to pray, she was embarrassed to enter the mosque because she could not pray. In the end Kania walked towards Monas.

O Allah, it is still worthy of prayer. While your servant is a dirty figure. The servant wants to repent. Is there a way to repent?

Forgive me, God.
