Aziz included Fattan and Fadila in one of the PAUD (Early childhood education) schools in the city of Makassar. Both Fadila and Fattan were very happy when they heard the happy news. They can finally study at school.
Aziz has also returned to his usual activities. The man had not been at work for a long time. He was resigned if later fired but in fact not. The man was still accepted to work at the hospital where he worked first.
Housing Hertasning number A19
Aziz and his two children were in the twin's room. While Ma'am Ima was busy in the kitchen preparing supplies for Aziz, Fadila and also Fattan.
"Papa, can I be friends with other people at school?" ask Fadila. The little boy sat on the bed letting his father comb his hair.
"By Honey. But you can't be naughty at school" Aziz replied. After combing her daughter's hair, Aziz took the hijab and helped her daughter wear a headscarf that fits perfectly on her daughter's head.
"Now it's Brother Fattan's turn" said Aziz moving and standing in front of his son. Aziz combed his son's hair and did not forget to rub a little baby powder on his face and on his son's neck.
"It's over. It's time for us to go to school!" aziz cheers to make her son happy.
"Papa. I'm lazy to go to school" Fattan said pouting.
"Don't be lazy, Mama will be sad in heaven. It's not like my mom always asks me to learn. That's a sign Mama wants us to be diligent" explained Fadila reminded her brother.
Aziz was stunned to hear his daughter's sentence. It seems Fadila is wiser than Aziz and Fattan. "Why do I feel like I'm being scolded by Amrita" Aziz said.
"Yes, big brother's coming to school" said Fattan, carving a smile. Fattan got off the sofa walking towards the table where there was a picture frame. "Mama, we go to school first. Fine in heaven yes" he continued and kissed a photo of his mother.
Fadila and Aziz approached Fattan. The three of them smiled at the photo of the late Amrita. Then out of the room to the first floor. On the first floor, Ma'am Ima has finished preparing provisions for Azi and his two children.
"Fadila, Fattan, salim used to be with Grandma Ma'am" Aziz said. Now the call to Mbak Ima is Grandma Mbak. It's not polite if Fattan and Fadila call him Ma'am Ima.
Fadila and Fattan grabbed onto Mom's hand and kissed her. "Grandmother Ma'am. We went to school first" said Fadila.
Mom smiled. "Yes Dear. Who studied it. Don't be naughty at school. Grandma Ma'am is ready for you" said Mbak Ima.
Aziz took Fattan and Fadila's tupperware and put it in Fadila and Fattan's small bag. And don't forget to take tupperware for him. "Sir, we go first. Assalamualaikum" pamit Aziz.
On the way to PAUD school, Fadila sings Mother's love song. The song he sang every morning. Fattan was silent. The little boy thought of something he did not dare to reveal.
"Fattan, why you, honey?" asked Aziz looking at his son through the rearview mirror of the car.
Fadila looked at her lowered older brother. "Big brother why?" ask Fadila.
"Papa, sometime we go to Mama's grave huh. Mama must have missed us" Pinta Fattan without looking at her Papa.
Aziz carved a smile. "Yes Dear. On Friday we will go to Mama's grave" Aziz said.
Fattan looked up smiling. "Thank you" he said, carving a big smile.
Paud School
Aziz opened the car door and led his two children down from the car. In front of the school building, stood a young teacher. Her name is Nafida, a woman who has a familial relationship with Mahdania. Mahdania asks Nafida to look after Fadila and Fattan during the two children's stay at school. Nafida agrees because she also lives in the residential area of Hertasning.
"Nafida, I'm taking my kids. There's an Ima at home. You can drive them straight home" Aziz said. Aziz pays Nafida to always drive Fattan and Fadila home. Because the man came home from work at five in the afternoon.
"Well, Mas" Nafida replied smiling.
Hospital
Aziz inhaled a deep breath of air and exhaled it slowly. Then get off the car walking towards the hospital entrance. From a distance, it was seen that Mr. Berti drew a smile staring at Aziz who was walking towards him.
"Assalamualaikum" said Aziz.
"Vaalaikumsalam. Dok spirit, do not give up" said Pak Berti cheering.
Aziz drew a smile. "Yes, Sir. Thank you" he replied as he patted Pak Berti's right shoulder. "I work first" he continued, then entered the hospital to his room.
After taking his medical device, Aziz went to the ER room to perform his duties. The patient is not the only one who needs to be treated. Fortunately, there were some doctors who were also in the morning. And there are some young doctors who are just working.
"You've been here a long time?" ask Aher who just arrived in the ER.
"Not long. I'm sorry, I didn't call you because I had to take Fadila and Fattan to school" Aziz said.
"Why don't you ask Nafida to come to your house to pick them up?" ask Aher. The man wants to match Nafida with Aziz.
"I don't want any other woman to come into my house other than my family and those closest to me" Aziz replied.
Aher can guess. His wife was no longer interested in marriage. It seemed like Amrita was a woman who had space entirely in Aziz's heart. "Yes already" said Aher giving up.
...ΩΩΩ...
At 17:21 PM
Aziz had just arrived home after a few hours in the hospital. The man got out of the car and went into the house. "Assalamualaikum" Aziz said after opening the door.
"Waalaikumsalam" replied Aunt Eka, Pak Sofyan and Mbak Ima who were temporarily in the family room.
"From earlier Mom?" tanya Aziz took her place in front of her parents.
"Lumayan" replied Aunt Eka.
Aziz circulated his gaze looking for the whereabouts of his daughter and son. "Where is Manhattan and Fadila?" ask Aziz.
"They're in the room" replied Ms. Ima.
Aziz nodded. "I'm upstairs first. After the new bath I met you guys" Aziz said. Then move on from his seat.
After bathing and wearing clothes, Aziz met his family in the living room on the first floor. On the first floor is Fattan and Fadila. The two children sat cross-legged on the rug.
"Aziz, I have something to talk to you about" said Aunt Eka.
Aziz who had just sat down his butt looked seriously at his parents. "What's wrong?" ask Aziz.
"Aren't you planning on getting married again. Fattan and Fadila still need the affection of a mother" explained Aunt Eka.
"Can't you all give him that affection? What should be from another woman?" ask Aziz with a few questions. The man knew what his parents meant.
"I don't need another woman to serve me. It is my duty now to pray for my wife that God will meet me with her in the hereafter" he said seriously.
