On a clear morning, the sound of an alarm woke up a man who was still asleep. The man was 27 years old and not married.
His hands ran rampant looking for the whereabouts of the alarm clock on his bedside table. The man wanted to turn off the sound that had made his eardrum noise. The long fingers touch the off button with the eyes still closed.
Clik.
After turning off the alarm on the alarm clock, the man went back to sleep hugging his beloved bolster. Roll it since childhood, which can not be separated until now. Even though the color has faded, the contents have deflated. But he could never escape because the roll was a gift from his late mother.
A elderly man walked into his room. His hand carried a glass of water, then he poured it just right on the face of the man who was still asleep.
Byur
"www! " shouted the man, who was none other than Jeno.
"Wake up! It's this afternoon," said the old man who is the grandfather of Jeno.
Jeno immediately sat down and saw the alarm clock on the nightstand and then put his position back to standing.
"Still this morning cake, it's still eight o'clock. Yaudah Jeno took a shower first" said Jeno, who rushed to the bathroom.
In the bathroom, as usual, Jeno brushed her teeth first, then she heard a loud noise coming from the television, which turned on her grandfather.
His elderly grandfather could not hear clearly if the volume of his voice was small. Jeno faintly heard the voice of the news anchor, if there had been a disaster that caused the Tsunami in Aceh. He came out of the bathroom still wearing his clothes.
Arriving in the middle room Jeno watched the news on television, while continuing to brush her teeth.
"Astaghfirullah," he said when he saw the conditions that destroyed the city of Aceh.
Before long her phone rang, Jeno immediately grabbed her phone and picked up her phone.
Apparently a call from his friend who reported that several doctors were assigned to Aceh to help Tsunami victims, including Jeno
Jeno who was still rubbing her toothbrush did not immediately answer, she was reluctant to leave the city of Jakarta at that time because she only lived alone with her grandfather who was Sepuh.
"I can't, what is my grandfather? Who's taking care of him. After all, there must be many doctors close to Aceh, surely they helped him," replied Jeno
"Come on, we'll send help and food there. We're on a plane, all covered by the hospital. About your grandfather, you can leave it in the next door neighbor" said Marten
Finally Jeno agreed, even with a heavy heart. But his heart as a doctor was called as well, he did not want to see the victims of the earthquake and tsunami that hit the city of Aceh.
Long story short, after bathing, dressing and packing his things. Jeno asks her neighbors to take care of her grandfather temporarily when he is not home. Jeno also gave the key and some money for his grandfather's needs later.
Luckily, he has a kind neighbor and accepts Jeno's wishes.
The Jakarta to Aceh trip takes 2 hours 50 minutes. Arriving there, Jeno and three fellow doctors, took a helicopter ride with medical supplies they carried along with basic groceries, blankets, and blankets, tents and so on were sent representatives from the hospital and his coworkers.
Jeno wept bitterly in his heart to see the state of Banda Aceh, which was still inundated with water. It was feared that the aftershocks would happen again. SAR teams continue to search for victims trapped in the rubble, as well as the flood.
Not long after they arrived at the evacuation post. Jeno carried a sack of rice and walked slowly bringing it into the tent of the post one.
Looked a beautiful woman who is pregnant, looks panicked when talking to one about who helped the search for victims. After conversing with the soldier, he left the army and walked quickly to his pregnant condition. Until it hit Jeno who was carrying rice.
"Ah.. sorry," said the woman.
"It's okay, be careful ma'am, the road is slippery," said Jeno with a smile while in the depths of his heart. His heart continues to beat fast. The woman replied with a nod of her head and left Jeno
Duh why. Cook yes I fell in love with the mothers, not old anyway he's like the same age with me, inner Jeno
Jeno continued her steps and brought her into the post tent one. He checked the condition of the victim there. Many people cry because they lost their families. Their faces were sad, sad and some were even daydreaming. But there are also some small children who laugh cheerfully with friends and run small barefoot.
Before long there was a village chief who entered the tent, he invited Jeno to speak and also some colleagues joined in the post one. Then the village chief introduced Doctor Jeno, Doctor Merten and Doctor Haris to the displaced residents.
Not long after a resident came to the tent of the post one.
"Please sir, anu." a young man paused for a moment to catch his breath.
"What anu?" ask the village chief
"Say there's an obstetrician here, he's not here. There are mothers who seem to want to give birth" said the young man
"Oh yes, this is Doctor Jeno Alvaro" the village chief said
"Yes I'm Jeno, Obstetrician. Well then I will prepare the medical equipment, ", said Jeno
"I'm helping you with your things" Marten said
"I think you need a towel with cloth, I take a towel first in my suitcase" Haris said
"Thank you" Jeno said
Haris and Marten are not obstetricians, Haris is a general practitioner while Marten is an orthopedic doctor.
Arriving at tent three which was a bit far to the west. A woman is already lying weak and in pain. His face was already covered in sweat because of enduring the pain in the lower area.
"Excuse me, I'm Jeno, the obstetrician. I will help the mother's delivery process" said Jeno
The woman flashed a sign she was in revolt,
"I don't want a male doctor. Please find a midwife or a female doctor," the woman asked with a gasp of breath
"But Marisa ma'am, there are no midwives let alone female doctors" said one of the mothers
"There is a female doctor in the area but far away and that's also she can not handle the process of giving birth because of inexperience" said another mother.
"I don't want to! I will be seen again. Don't want, yes don't want!.ahh sick," said Marisa who later complained of pain
"I'm a gynecologist who has been sworn not to harass. There's no intention to see that or anything. Here's what if you don't want to be seen. Let this mother help you see. I'll help pull his head. I promise I won't peek" Jeno said
Marisa also had to. There was no other way because he was already in half-dead pain.
Jeno took a little oxygen and put it on Marisa's nose. The woman looks stressed and needs oxygen just in case. After all the equipment is prepared, the cloth is stretched and the lower back is given a high pillow. Marten and Haris are asked to sit on the left and right side to help Marisa push.
Jeno slowly inserts her fingers without looking, while a mother becomes her eyes.
"Here his head has entered the pelvis. Don't make it up until I give it a cue. Arrange the breath yes ma'am," said Jeno
While Marisa is watching. He really is like a dream. One of his extended family is missing and has not received any news. He continues to look at the news and monitor the progress of the search for victims but he has not received any news.
"Come, ma'am, ngeden ya one. two.. three.., "Jeno's orders.
"Hmppphh," Marisa took a deep breath and held him back to push her baby. He made no sound while pushing. Unlike soap operas yes because if there is a sound then it will not be maximal.
Marisa's eyes twitched like her eyes were dark for a moment. Jeno quietly peeked a little, he picked up the scissors and tore off a little so that the exit path was a little easier.
Then Jeno's second warning ordered to push again. And out came a big, big, white-skinned baby who was healthy and crying very strongly after he got out of his way.
Marisa cries at the sound of her baby crying. But besides that she was very sad because her husband did not accompany her there
After the baby is cleaned, then the baby is placed on the chest of Marisa to establish closeness between mother and child.
Jeno apologized for cutting out a little way out. Forced because the baby is big.
"Hmm it's okay doc, if it's the best. Thank you for helping me deliver,"
"Yes, but. "Jeno's speech was interrupted.
After she cuts a little she needs to sew her.
Duh crazy beautiful smile, Jeno inner who has fallen in love at first sight on Marisa. But his feelings are wrong.
"Of course after cutting it, I need to sew it" Jeno said
The look on Marisa's face became tense, she was silent for a moment. Then throw a rough breath before answering.
"Alright do it, but remember not to mess around" said Marisa who was very scared and uncomfortable
Oh, my God, gini is so, so Jeno's inner obstetrician
After getting Jeno's approval then sewed it quickly.
At night, Marisa is increasingly worried that she is constantly asking the rescue team. At that time Jeno came in to check on the condition of the baby. He also gave Marisa a small mosquito net for the baby, so his attention to Marisa and the baby.
Jeno also advises Marisa to focus on her baby first. She knows Marisa is still looking for news from her husband but the most important thing right now is the baby. After giving advice, Jeno left Marisa.
"Doctor. wait, wait," call Marisa stop Jeno's steps.
"Yes..." Jeno turned and came closer
"Please my daughter, my husband has not been found" said Marisa bitterly. Bitter and bitter because it should be her husband who prosecutes his daughter
Jeno did not mind, he then chanted the adhan in the left and right ears of his daughter Marisa who has not been given a name.
Masha Allah the chanting of his Adhan made my heart shudder in Marisa who shed tears of happiness and sadness at the same time.

Three days after the tsunami tragedy in Aceh on December 26, 2004, the flood has receded, which appears only as rubble debris. Where there are some buildings that are clean and flat with the ground and in the middle still stands a large mosque.
Marisa gets the news if one by one her family is found dead. But she still has no news of her husband. Marisa continues to be overwhelmed with sadness. And it affects its ASI which only comes out a little.
The government has sought a decent place for victims of natural disasters that are certainly better than the temporary tent post. The place is in the manufacturing stage and the plan will be free for them to live.
Jeno has not left Aceh, he and his friends helped check the condition of the survivors. Marisa hopes her husband is one of the survivors.
Day by day passed. Neighboring countries helped Indonesia to find the whereabouts of victims. It's not easy to find victims and then match up with the DNA they have.
Four days later, Ahmad's husband Marisa is found in a terrible condition. One leg is not intact, in the estimated time he was drifting away and hit by something.
After her husband was buried, Marisa was more silent while sitting holding her daughter who until then had not been named.
"Ehemm.." said Jeno when entering approached Marisa who was in tent one.
Marisa turned to look at Jeno who brought food for her.
"It's late, I see Marisa's mother hasn't eaten. This is to eat so that there is nutritional intake for the little one," said Jeno while giving a tray of rice, tofu tempeh and a glass of water.
Marisa just smiled then put her baby on a thin foam and then covered her. He receives a tray of Jeno's food.
"Thank you Doctor, you're so considerate,"
"I just can't bear to see the condition of the little one if his mother continues to daydream like that" said Jeno
"I haven't even given her a name, I'm too focused to." Marisa fell silent, a puddle of tears in her eyes and began to flow.
Jeno touched Marisa's shoulder
"Mother Marisa must be strong, must be strong for the sake of her baby," said Jeno who only realized if she touched Marisa's shoulder, she was afraid if she had exceeded the limit. He immediately pulled his hand back
Marisa heard Jeno's words, she wiped her tears. Take a deep breath and throw it away.
"Doctor Jeno is right, I have to be strong, have to be tough,"
"The meaning of Marisa's name is the Ocean. Therefore be strong as the sea that stretches wide. Resistant to the boisterous impact of the waves,"
Marisa is getting comfortable with her conversation with Jeno. Then he asked Jeno to give a name to his son.
"What name would be suitable for my daughter" asked Marisa
Jeno glanced at the sleeping baby. Then smile.
"She's cute, adorable and beautiful like the moon how about Luna. Haha that's it if Marisa's mom agrees, I just suggested..."
"That name is good too, Luna. Hi beautiful your name is Luna," said Marisa while looking at her daughter and as if to talk to her baby. Marisa then smiled, looking a radiance of cheer from her face even though only a little.
Jeno looked at her without a blink, then Marisa turned her head and caught Jeno's gaze that kept looking at her. Jeno also became the wrong behavior made.
"Hemm sorry, then I'm sorry," said Jeno who immediately left Marisa with an erratic heartbeat.
Two weeks later, Marisa began to get used to herself and mingle with the refugees in the post tent, while the search for missing victims continued to increase. More and more victims' names are being found. Although some names are missing.
Jeno continued to approach Marisa, approached her, invited her to chat until she began to vent. Jeno will propose to Marisa before she leaves Aceh.
The next day Jeno invites Marisa to walk near the evacuation post in search of a nice morning air for the baby (The term is sun dried).
"This is enough to get morning sunlight.good for the baby's breathing. If the tent continues it will not be good Ms. Marisa," said Jeno
"Yes, the doctor was right. Thank you for bringing me here" said Marisa while opening a little baby clothes to make the baby's skin that began to peel get the morning sun.
"Hemm Bu-Bu Marisa,"
"Yes?"
"I'm sorry before if this isn't the right time. But I fell in love with Marisa's mother the first time we met. When Marisa's mother accidentally hit me. That's not the point I want to talk about. But I want to marry Marisa's mother and become a parent for the mother's daughter" Jeno said gently
Marisa was surprised by what Jeno said. Indeed, he is not ready if he has to marry again because it has just been abandoned and there has not even been a month. And again he does not have any feelings for Jeno, but his daughter needs to have the figure of Papa.
"Don't answer now, I'll wait until Ms. Marisa's ready and accepts me" Jeno said
Marisa chuckled slightly, "That's the same as the Doctor not accepting the word rejection,"
"Haha mom-not that." said Jeno who was starting to get nervous.
"I accept the doctor's goodwill, but I need time if I have to marry a doctor,"
"Huh..that means Marisa's mother accepted my proposal?" ask Jeno to make sure
"It seems so," Marisa smiled, "Just call Marisa, I'm younger than the doctor,"
Jeno was delighted, and that was the initial stage of their introduction becoming closer.
After a week of habitable flats, Marisa and other refugees left the Posko tent and stayed there. Jeno returns to Jakarta and intends to marry Marisa as soon as possible. After his idiom is over.
Long story short, Jeno marries Marisa and takes her to live in Jakarta. Marisa has no other family. She has only her daughter and Jeno. What makes Marisa accept Jeno is Jeno's attitude that is very affectionate towards her daughter.
"This is the warm tea" said Marisa giving a glass of tea at the dinner table.
"Thank you baby" said Jeno as she kissed Marisa's cheek, "Luna is still sleeping?" ask Jeno
"Yes, he ate and dede, he slept. Later do not go home late at night, Mas" said Marisa
"Yes, Mas there is a practice schedule at 9 to three, after which Mas came home quickly. But if there is a cesarean or someone gives birth, Mas had to overtime,"
"No, no nights, no rain at night, I'm afraid hehe" said Marisa
There was a sense of trauma when he heard the rumbling sound of rain as if the memories of the past were coming back.
"Dear baby, try to go home quickly" Jeno rubbed Marisa's cheek gently.
After finishing her bread and warm tea, Jeno left for work. Don't forget he kissed Marisa's forehead with love.
"Please take care of your grandfather too, dear" pinta Jeno who still has dependents takes care of her grandfather. Despite his age, his grandfather was still healthy and strong walking without a cane
"Yes, be careful on the road?" marisa said to take Jeno's departure to the front of the house.
After Jeno leaves, Marisa enters the house. Then his head was dizzy and felt spinning. Marisa recalled that when she was hit by the Tsunami, her head was hit by a large cupboard. Since then he has often felt dizzy but has never been examined.
My head hurts, Marisa sat up and lay down for a while on the living room couch. After a few minutes, his head no longer hurt.
Marisa then went to the kitchen and made a warm tea without sugar for her grandfather Jeno who was sitting watching television.
"Your head is often dizzy, why not just check it," said the grandfather who secretly noticed Marisa's behavior.
"Yes Kek, later if Mas Jeno comes home, Marisa check" said Marisa
Then came the cry of Luna, who seemed to be asking for milk, Marisa then went to the room to take care of her daughter.
In the afternoon, Jeno came home on time as Marisa had asked. But when Marisa opens the door for Jeno, Marisa returns dizzy and faints.
Jeno immediately took Marisa to the hospital. And at the same time ask the grandfather to come along to hold Luna. There was no way Luna would be left behind.
Arriving at the hospital, her grandfather tells Jeno that Marisa often has headaches. Jeno wants a full checkup.
"Pak Jeno, the father's wife has cancer, which is why she often has dizziness. One way is surgery,"
Jeno was surprised by the results of her examination. After a detailed conversation, Jeno decided to take surgery. But once Marisa realized she rejected him. Finally Jeno relented, but Marisa had to take medication regularly and take drugs.
.
.
As time goes on, Marisa begins to lose her hair, but she hides it from Jeno. Honestly hearing the word operation he was already very afraid and continued to imagine things that were not. Marisa also fainted, and the baby's cries always woke her up. Marisa keeps hiding her increasingly severe physical condition.
One day, while lifting a clothesline. Marisa fainted again for the umpteenth time. Neighbors who happened to see her immediately helped Marisa and contacted Marisa's husband. Jeno asks her neighbor to take Marisa to the hospital.
Her physical condition is getting worse, making Jeno forced to make her own decision to perform surgery.
During the operation, Jeno returns home and asks one of her neighbors to take care of her daughter temporarily. He could not take the baby Luna too often to the hospital.
After leaving Luna to her neighbors, Jeno returned to the hospital. The operation was successful, and Marisa had entered the treatment room.
Marisa's head was forced to be bald, because the technology at that time was not sophisticated, unlike abroad, which all operations can be done with lasers.
When Marisa wakes up, she sees Jeno sitting next to her bed.
"I where is mas?" ask Marisa lirih
"Gracefully you've come to your senses, how are you doing hemm? I was forced to take surgery, because your condition continues to deteriorate. I'm sorry," said Jeno
Marisa touched her head which was a little sore from the surgery. But he felt a little bit easier than before.
"It's happened to say what Mas, honestly I'm still upset with you," said Marisa who then smiled a little, "My head still hurts but seems to be better than before. Where's luna?" ask Marisa
"Thank God if your condition is much better, I leave Luna with Ms. Indro, the next door neighbor," said Jeno
"Owh I think he was brought here,"
"At that time Luna had been taken to the hospital when you fainted, so Mas reckon if you bring her again will not be good with her condition is still a baby. The air in this hospital isn't so good, baby,"
"Mas, you love Luna very much yes, I am lucky to have you become Papa. If I were no longer in this world. Please always love him and take care of him, yes,"
"Sure Mas will always love her, Mas already consider her as a real princess, but never say like that as if you were going to leave, do not repeat again yes, Mas will be sad to hear it,"
"Yes, I'm sorry, ma'am" said Marisa.
Marisa's words like giving a message to Jeno and it's true. The next morning, Marisa did not wake up. He sleeps forever.
Jeno cried so much, he had to lose the woman he loved even though he had just been married for two months, but it felt like he had known Marisa for a long time.
.
.
.
Marisa's last message she'll remember forever.
"I will always love Luna, your daughter whom I consider my own daughter. Be calm in nature there Marisa. I love you" Jeno said as she carried Marisa's body to the grave.
