The Choice of Parents

Resigning

Andre and Anita sleep in the treatment room. Anita slept in Andre's arms making her very comfortable and fast asleep.

Adzan shubuh sound melodious break the silence. Andre immediately got up and went to his room to take a shower and prepare for prayer.

After finishing the bath and preparing, Andre returned to the treatment room with a prayer mat and prayer mats for the congregation with Anita.

Andre called Anita gently to wake her from her sleep.

" get up baby, it's dawn ! " said Andre

" is shubuh already ?" ask Anita

" yes, get up and quickly worship us congregational prayers !" answer Andre

" yes, brother !" said Anita slowly sat down and started to stand up

" want me to help ?" ask Andre

" no, brother, thank you ! Nita wants to try it for yourself !" anita answered, trying to walk herself to the bathroom

Andre could only pay attention to Anita and follow her footsteps from behind.

a few minutes later Anita came out of the bathroom and began preparing to perform congregational prayers with Andre.

" you should pray while sitting down, baby !" advice Andre

" no brother, God willing Nita is strong !" anita is optimistic

" yes it is !" said Andre

Andre and Anita began their prayers solemnly until they were finished. After finishing the prayer, Anita kissed Andre's hand and Andre kissed Anita's forehead.

After finishing the prayer, Andre and Anita went out together towards the dining table. There Kania, Agung and Ayu were already sitting down preparing for breakfast. Agung and Ayu were astonished to see Andre and Anita come out of the treatment room.

" dear, why did you get out of the treatment room ?" ask Ayu

" anita collapsed last night so much in shock that she heard a very loud lightning sound, making her feel claustrophobic !" answer Andre

" but now you're okay, right ?" ask the Great

" Nita is better, pa ! just calm down !" anita replied relaxed

" thank goodness !" the word Agung and Ayu

" let's eat ! the food will get cold so it's not good !" Kania

Everything was breakfast without anyone speaking a word. Only the sound of the spoon clashing with the plate was heard at that time.

" dear, don't you want to go the way out ?" ask Andre

" the street ? doesn't Brother Andre have to go to the hospital huh ?" ask Anita

" it's Saturday, I'm off today, but tomorrow I have to go in and overtime maybe late at night !" answer Andre

" oh so, yes ! but it feels like Nita wants to stay home, sister, Nita wants to rest !" answer Anita

" oh yes, I ask you to resign from the hospital ! I don't want you to work anymore, I don't want you to be too tired baby !" said Andre

" but sister, Nita can't ! I don't want to stop working ! if Nita stops working what about the treatment of Nita kak ? didn't Nita need a big enough cost for Nita's treatment !" anita replied against Andre's wishes

" please, obey ! the matter of the cost for the treatment let me bear it !" answer Andre

" but brother, if only relying on Andre will not be enough to meet the needs of others ! Nita beg you, brother, don't tell Nita to resign ! Nita please sister !" anita said pleading

Andre did not answer Anita's request, he just wanted the best for Anita. Anita also understood with Andre's desire, it was all he did just for the good of himself. But Anita thought far ahead, if only relying on Andre's income as a doctor it will be exhausted for the cost of treatment alone. While there are still many other needs that Andre must meet.

Anita saw a disappointed look on Andre's face, Anita felt guilty for Andre. But like any Anita has the right to choose.

" pardon Nita sister !but Nita can't quit Nita's job all over !" said Anita

Andre did not respond to Anita's words, he instead went to his own room without saying a word to Anita. Anita tried to catch up with Andre, but her pace could not be as fast as Andre.

Andre was in his room all day. He was busy with some reports he had to prepare for tomorrow.

Not feeling the time is night, Anita is still silent sitting leaning on her bed while holding her sketch book.His eyes are indeed looking at her sketch book, which is hers, his hands also continued he moved to draw sketch book scribbles, but his mind drifted where it went.

forgive Nita brother, Nita does not want to bother Andre ! Nita apologizes, can not obey the same said brother Andre ! Nita knows, Andre's brother is worried about Nita's health. But Nita hope it's not like this sister !

let the rest of Nita's life that is only soon Nita can be a person who is useful to others, not a person who troubles others ! inner Anita

Andre approached and lay down on the bed next to Anita.

" go to sleep ! it's night already !" andre said, turning his back on Anita

Anita can't say anything. He saw Andre sleeping while turning his back made him unable to hold back the tears that wanted to flow from earlier.

Slowly Anita lays herself beside Andre, Anita tries to close her eyes but can't.

the time showed at 00:07 but Anita still could not fall asleep as well.her tears still flowed and she could not stop, no matter what happened to her.

Anita felt bored in the room but felt saturated like this, she slowly stepped her feet out of the room. Anita went to the family room, she watched tv, but only her eyes were looking at the tv while her mind was drifting away somewhere and I don't know what she's thinking right now.
