Seeking Ustazah

"Sip! Smart son of Papah, the spirit continues to pay, Sal." Dani hugged Salwa.

"Yes, Pa. Salwa wants to be hafizh qur'an like mother. What do you say, Mbah? Fidhoh?"

Dani laughs. "Not fidhoh, Sal. Khafidhoh aka hafizah. Aamiin, may Allah grant your wish, Nduk. Dear me, Nduk."

"Salwa is the same, Papah." Salwa hugged Dani tightly.

"Well, are we ready to pray Maghrib, yuk?"

Salwa nodded immediately. Running away from Dani alone towards the ablution place near the loundry room. The widower smiled happily to see his obedient son worship. That's what his parents implanted in him.

"Same father ora iso nyangoni bondo, isone nyangoni sains." (Same Dad can not equip treasure, usually equip with knowledge). Dani remembered her father's words.

Dani followed Salwa to take ablution. Same with Mamah Yuli and Aidha. After everything was ready, Dani took the front row to lead the prayer. They are so solemn' to perform Maghrib prayer. Thought and Doeth, and raise your hands to the Almighty.

Dinner is ready to go waiting. Dani and her children were sitting neatly in their seats. Mamah Yuli filled their plates patiently and lovingly. They ate the food deliciously, without any chatter.

The knock on the door rang out to Dani's ear. He who had finished his meal, immediately approached the door when his ART was about to open the door.

"Let me, Mother. Rumiyin's farm." (Let me, Mother. Eat first). Dani told her ART to go back to the spot.

"Excite, sir."

Chequek!

"Assalamu'alaikum" said a couple who were holding the nine-month-old boy.

"Wa'alaikum salam. Uh, good-looking Pakdhe!" Dani took the little boy from his mother's sling.

Farida and Arsya, brother and sister-in-law of Dani. She has been married for two years, and has just had a cute nine-month-old son, Shidqiandra. Commonly called Andra by his brothers. Rida and Arsya greet Dani.

They all went into the house. Rida and Arsya greet Mama Yuli.

"Where's the mold, Te?" ask Aidha.

"Just like Papah, all right!" answer Rida.

Aidha did not continue his words. Just nod and say - oh. Mamah Yuli offered to eat to the two. And with passion they immediately took the plate and sat neatly on the chair.

Mamah Yuli approached Dani who was joking with Andra. Smiling happily at the sight of his eldest son.

"It's still appropriate that you have another child, Dan," said Mamah Yuli. Made Dani stunned by that statement.

Dani remembered the woman who met him earlier, Disa was the person in question. He forgot his thoughts and came back to joking with Andra. The baby boy was happy to see Dani's funny face.

"Find another wife, Dan!" the Order of Mamah Yuli.

"Mamah .., Dani has already said, want to focus on taking care of the kids." Dani joked with Andra.

Mamah Yuli took Andra from Dani's lap. Joking with his granddaughter. Adorable because Andra always laughs even when they don't ask her to joke.

"Who knew that Aidha's anger could vanish with a new mother figure for her" Mamah Yuli said lightly.

Dani took a long breath. "I don't know Mah, Dani still loves the house."

"You need a companion to align and balance your life, Dan. Don't rely on Mom. This old woman could have been taken at any time with God," said Mamah Yuli who continued to focus on playing Andra's hand.

Dani clucked up. I don't like to talk about death. Twice he had felt the meaning of loss due to death. The first was the death of his father, when he had just graduated from High School. His father, who had diabetes, had to leave everything behind.

Glucose levels in his father's body are very high, causing the wound is always wet. Even though it has been treated, it still gnaws at the thumb. Forced to have amputated, but instead new wounds arise in other parts.

The message his father left him was, he had to be a tough guy. A man who can be a guardian to his family. But the truth now? Aidha was still filled with anger towards him. Sometimes, Dani misses the figure of the father. Want to share about the problems that are happening.

The first loss had not yet been completely healed in his heart. Seven years ago, Inaya also left her. While pregnant, Inaya had been warned by her obstetrician that her pregnancy was at high risk. Inaya has a history of high blood pressure, and the condition is getting worse.

Inaya's blood pressure once reached 180/100, which required her to be hospitalized and under close monitoring by an obstetrician. Inaya still wants to maintain her pregnancy. He was sincere if he died for the sake of the fetus in his womb. Dani agreed, they together struggled through difficult times of pregnancy. Always work with an obstetrician.

At 36 weeks pregnant, Inaya developed pre-eclampsia. A disease that occurs during pregnancy with marked high blood pressure, the presence of protein in the urine in high levels, and swelling in the face, hands, and feet. She needed to end her pregnancy immediately. That's when Aidha knew that her mother should not be pregnant anymore, because of self-harm.

With close monitoring from the obstetrician, Inaya finally underwent a caesarean section. That's when she had an amniotic fluid embolism. So that caused him to die.

Amniotic fluid embolism is a condition in which the entry of amniotic fluid, fetal cells, or hair into the maternal bloodstream that passes through the base of the placenta or ari-ari. The largest maternal mortality after bleeding.

The two deaths of his loved ones made Dani really at the saddest point. That is why he always dislikes discussing death. Not that he does not believe, but he cannot afford to lose again and again.

Rida and Arsya are joined by Mamah Yuli and Dani. Aidha came and took Andra from the lap of Mamah Yuli.

"Mbak, come!" Salwa whinek.

As usual, Aidha remained the same as before. Shut up and flinch in response to Salwa. Rida and Arsya who saw it let out a sigh of resignation.

"Mas, Mah, tomorrow teacher njai for Aidha and Salwa comes around three o'clock. She was Sita's foster sister when she was in the cottage. The original people of the city here too, his name is Disa Nur Izzah, commonly called Disa or Izzah," said Rida.

Instantly Dani's body became stiff hearing the name her sister mentioned. Is there a woman who collided with him? Who lost her hijab? Become a teacher of his children? Miracles are really on his side.

"Oo ... Sita's foster sister? Family, Da? Which one the hell? Do you remember, huh?" asked Mamah Yuli while confirming her sitting.

Rida nodded, "Tomorrow Mamah remembered for herself when she saw the person. Not yet, Mah, still single. He was three years different from Rida. Around .., thirty years. Rida yesterday did ask for help with Sita, thank God there are close."

Mama Yuli listened carefully to Rida's explanation. "Where's house?" dani asked trying to make sure of something.

"The house was not taken, Mas!" sahut Arsyan. Make everyone laugh.

"I mean, where's she live?" ask Dani again.

"Bonang" replied Rida. "Later Mamah self-selection how to tell how, if Rida heard from the story of Sita ya Ma, good. He used visuals and hand gestures to make it easy for children to memorize and understand the verse from the letter."

"Oh, huh? Mom is curious! What if Mama also follows the Quran?" mama Yuli asked with her eyebrows raised.

"Related, Mah?" ask everything compact.

"Sure, dong!"

"As for Mama, let's go!" surrender everything. Mama Yuli laughed looking at their expressions.
