Sebatang Kara's...

Slender... Part. 2

I turned my body around and saw who was calling my name and I saw my old daughter half-run towards where I was standing.

" Daughter...?", I asked to confirm, because she looks more beautiful and more mature now.

" Yes Ni, I am the Princess, her cousin Azam, long time no see Ni, so you forget me?", he replied.

" It's not Put, I'm just making sure, afraid of wrong people, because you are now very different from what you used to be" I said with a smile at him.

" You can Ni, what are you doing here?", he asked me.

" I'm here to see him my brother is being treated at this hospital, and I'm asking this hospital attendant the ward on behalf of my brother Khadijah ", I said as I hugged my daughter who was getting impatient, maybe she was skipping all day.

" Ooh.. It looks like your daughter is doing some sauces, let's sit down for a while in my office, it's on this first floor as well, it's not far from here, I'll take you to your brother's nursery, after being informed the patient information of this hospital ", he said.

Because I feel cape too, I obey his desire to go to his office.

" How are you now Ni, is your household okay, because I see your body getting thinner, compared to the last time we met before" he said while walking with my luggage.

" I and my household are fine, and maybe I look thin like this, because I'm on a diet, so it's easier to move, work and take care of my daughter ", I said while smiling at him.

I saw the gaze of his eyes full of sorrow and wounds, I know you lied Ni, said the Princess in her heart.

" Thank God, then Ni, may you always be happy, and bang Azam also happy with his marriage, ooh.yes I forgot to tell you, three months ago, so I forgot to tell you about it, three months ago, we betrothed bang Azam to my father's friend's daughter, and now they live in the city of Jakarta, because bang Azam is still under contract with the middleman ship company where he worked first, he said, and they meet three times a year, if bang Azam takes his leave ", he explained.

" Thank God Azam is married, and may he always be happy with his wife" I sincerely pray for him.

" Ooh ya Ni, what's your daughter's name, you put your daughter on the bed next to my desk?", he said with a smile to me and sat on the sofa near the entrance.

" His name is Syakira", I said as I lay down the tired-looking body of my daughter on the bed indicated by the Princess.

"What do you do here Put?", I asked.

" I work as an administrator at this hospital, and this is my office" he explained.

" Are you married?", I asked.

" Thank God it was Ni, a year ago I was married, and I have no children" she said, smiling at me.

" Patience Put, maybe it is not time to be loved by Allah SWT, later you try to continue so that you can quickly get a baby" I teased him.

" Yes Ni, we are every day, trying to continue, maybe God does not believe in us to have offspring" he said, smiling at me.

I remember my phone, stupid me, I did not think to call bang Raka or kak Khadijah if I Uda nyampe here.

" Wait ya Put, I called bang Raka with my brother first yes, from now on how did I not think yes?", I said while holding my head that did not itch.

" Because you think your husband keeps going, then it's not like to call them" he said teasing me.

I just pretended not to hear it, for fear of being discovered what I was hiding in close quarters.

" Assalamualaikum bang Raka" I said after bang Raka received my phone call.

" Wa alaikum greetings deck, where are you now?, your sister will soon be in Caesarean section, because from this morning, there is no opening of the birth canal said the doctor, said, so to avoid things that are not desirable, it must be at Caesar ", he explained.

" I'm sorry, bang, I just thought about calling Brother, I've been in this hospital, you guys in which room, so we're going there soon" said worried about my brother's condition.

" We've been in the operation preparation room on the second floor, come here aja yes, brother can not pick up adek again, your brother no one nemanin" he explained.

" Yes bang, we'll be there soon" I said, ending the call.

" Daughter, can you accompany me to the surgery prep room?, because my brother will be in the Caesarean section ", I said briefly.

" Yes, let me take you there" he said as he moved from his seat.

We rushed to the operation preparation room to meet Khadija, while my bag, we left it in the Princess's study.

We use the elevator to make it faster in the preparation room.

A few minutes later, we arrived in front of the room. I saw Bang Raka walking back and forth while clenching her hands.

" Bang Raka, what is the condition of Kak Khadijah", I was curious.

" You do not have to worry, Khadijah will be fine, Allah SWT will always protect good people like Khadijah", I comforted him.

" Yes sir, the doctors at this hospital are all experienced, Inshaa Allah, the wife of the father will be fine, we pray that the operation goes smoothly" said Putri added.

" Yes Ma'am, thank you for the prayer" said bang Raka with a smile.

" Ooh ya bang Raka, know this my friend Putri, work in this hospital as well", said I introduced Putri to bang Raka.

" Greetings know ya ", said bang Raka briefly, probably because he was still worried about the condition of Khadijah's brother.

Two hours passed, Caesar's operation was completed, Alhamdulillah, the operation went smoothly, I said in my heart.

We saw a nurse carrying a baby in a crate from the operating room.

" How are the sisters in my wife's situation?", asked bang Raka impatiently.

" Thank God the situation of the father's wife is fine, and this is the father's baby, congratulations sir, the father's baby boy, handsome like his father" said the nurse while smiling at us.

" Thank God, congratulations bang, may long life, healthy always and much provision" I said while stroking the baby's head.

" Thank you deck, for the prayer ", said bang Raka moved.

Minutes later, Khadijah was taken out of the operating room using a gurney driven by two sisters.

" Ani", call Khadijah's brother.

" Yes brother, congratulations sister, baby brother, surely bang Raka more and more love Brother", I said happily while smiling at him.

Khadijah smiled at my words.

A few minutes later, we arrived in front of Khadijah's hospital room.

VIP class, which has two patient beds and a sofa and television.

The room is clean and fragrant. Surely patients will feel at home in this hospital, I said in my heart.

" Ni, later your bag, Sister who sent to this room yes, because I still have work" he said to me.

" Yes, it's nothing Put, thank you very much yes, already want to keep me" I said with a smile on her face.

" Yes, both Ni" he said as he passed away leaving us in this room.

I lay the body of my sleeping daughter on my empty patient bed.

I immediately held the baby brother Khadijah and kissed him softly.

" Your baby is very handsome brother, and very cute", I said while kissing him again.

" Yes, handsome like his father" said Khadijah while smiling at the Raka bang.

I saw bang Raka pretending not to hear, and I knew that she was very happy with the birth of her son.

" Mommy, the baby every less than two hours should be given to drink milk yes, let him be healthier and stronger, but if the breast milk has come out, it is better to be given directly to the baby, the baby, colostrum Asi is very good for the health of the baby yes ma'am", said Sister explained and passed away leaving us.

A few minutes later, a nurse came to our room with my bag. I thanked him.

" Izal where is Ni?", asked Khadijah.

" He's busy working, he can't come, he said their schedule is crowded" said I explained.

" Patience Deck, hopefully Izal will be back to what he was, brother is sad to see the look of your eyes that are full of wounds, may God immediately realize Izal will be wrong" said Khadijah.

" May my brother, before it is too late for me, if all the limits of patience have passed, he will regret all his deeds to me sis" I said, holding back my tears.

" Don't say it like that deck, Izal will definitely change, keep praying and be patient, Brother is sure, your relationship will return to what it used to be" he said comforting me.

May Allah grant me strength and patience in this trial, I said in my heart.
