Alvan came out to see the two splinters sitting side by side on a stainless bench along the hospital corridor. Alvan breathed a sigh of relief seeing that his two children were not making trouble. Actually Alfan believes that his two children will not make him more dizzy. Both of the wise children.
Alvan lightened his steps to approach his two children who were talking. Alvan not want to know the conversation of the two children but want to approach Afisa so they can be more familiar. Alvan wants to build up Afisa's trust in him.
Alvan sat next to Afisa while stroking her daughter's shoulders. Alfan's movements were so gentle as to show that he loved Afisa as well. Afisa glanced at Alvan's hand that was on his shoulder with the tail of an eye. Avisa's eyes imply that she doesn't like Alvan's touch. Afisa Alvan is a stranger.
"When is Singapore's plan back?" Alvan started the chat asking Afisa activity schedule.
"Maybe the day after tomorrow. I have to practice before the game. We have to adjust to a new place. Get to know the arena." Afisa told me without a cynical tone. Azzam looked intently at Afisa, watching his sister's way of speaking to Alvan. Afisa glanced at Azzam with great horror in fear of emotional release.
"Oh that's it! Papi will take you back to Singapore. Papi will accompany you while in Singapore."
"No need. Papi just focus on the same health Oma. I'm used to walking alone. We athletes have been trained from small to independent." Afisa refused subtly. Alvan shook his head trying to get to know his son this one. It is harder than Azzam. I don't like to be criticized, but I'm stubborn. How his coach takes care of a kid this hard. Must like to argue.
"The fire has long wanted to visit you. This is an opportunity to know each other, papi must use this good opportunity. You should know papi and vice versa."
"I've known papi through Koko. Koko told me a lot about papi. Only Cece doesn't like the way Oma did our thing. If we are wrong we can be rebuked. We're not stupid kids." The real Afisa began to show off. Afisa wanted to raise a conscience. But Azzam has advised not to do it first. Alvan is still in a sad mood.
"I'm sorry Oma! Oma just incited others. Oma is basically good but since returning from Kalimantan turned out to be strange. Papi also doesn't understand why Oma changed completely."
Afisa catches the desperate tone of her papi. Afisa's not his name if quickly touched. Afisa has been hard forged by her adoptive parents. This little boy was told to see the world from reality. Not from if to if. In Afisa's dictionary there is no wish.
"As an old man Oma must be wise. If we want to be appreciated, we have to respect people first. We can't climb up by stepping on someone else's head."
"Bape knows, boy! Sometimes we have to use others as stepping stones to cross the river. Papi wants to be close to you, but we're still strangers. So papi must use your mami as a stepping stone to achieve papi's intention. Not everyone is bad, kid!"
"But we are still wrong to use others to achieve goals."
"You're right, son! Not every stepping stone is wrong. Depends where we wear it. The purpose of papi kan net want to recognize the children papi. Papi has fostered a lot of guilt in your mother. There are many obstacles looking for you. Now we have met. Should this wonderful meeting end up in disarray?" Alvan re-touches Afisa's body hoping her girl doesn't resist every touch of papi herself.
Afisa's frown is trying to digest the meaning of the word Alvan. Afisa thought long to understand.
"But don't worry. We will support papi through the obstacles. Don't think too much! Focus on Oma and company. We'll be fine." Azzam had a chat to help Afisa answer Alvan's questions. Afisa is not flexible as a child. Afisa fixated on the system of education as an athlete. Discipline in time.
"Bapi is proud to have you! Papi's sorry why didn't you meet soon. Our time is wasted. Papi has been rewarded for papi's mistake. Y'all see? The company's money is stolen people, Oma is dying. This is the result of doing wrong to the family. Papi does not want to repeat the same mistake" said Alvan with teary eyes regretting having abandoned the wife's child.
Silence came for a moment. No one wants to argue about Alvan's fault with the wife's child. Ten times his story has not changed. Alvan forgot his own family.
"Who stole the company's money?" glide also questions from the tiny lips of Afisa. Stealing company money is not an easy job without access. That person must have complete company data just know how much money is stored in the company.
"Vice papi. Now in jail. He has returned some of our money. But the law goes on."
"Must be a girl.." guess Afisa ogled Azzam permission to talk according to the heart.
"Why do you know?"
"That's it! Only a pretty girl can fool a bad boss. Tempted dikit directly klepek-plepek in love. Forgot the way home!"
"No, son! He's a vice papi, has a stake in the company though a little. Papi had nothing to do with the bad woman. Papi was once guilty of you but your papi is not a depraved man. Will you forgive papi?" Alvan demeans prestige in order to reach out to sympathetic Afisa.
A mountain treasure is meaningless if it does not have a strong backrest. The solid backrest has a family pole. Unite us firmly, divorce we collapse. An example of a lid is easy to break once combined several sticks of lid is difficult to break. In short, the word cohesiveness is the unifier of everything. Good in family, friends and even state.
"Don't repeat the old story of Pi! We open a new page together. No one can beat the good." said Azzam did not have Alvan down for the child. Alvan is still their parents.
"Thank you. Can papi hug you?" Alvan looked at his two children alternately. Only Azzam nodded allowing Alvan to do his duty as a papi to be proud of.
Alvan coiled both his long hands to the shoulders of Azzam and Afisa left right. Alvan pulled the small bodies of his two children docked to his body. How wonderful to have heaven in the family.
"Thank you.now the papi kids sleep in the opa room huh! Or ask the nurse to open a room for you."
"Not bother. We're resting in opa's room!" sahut Azzam did not want to add to Alvan's confusion. They were supposed to lighten Alvan's load, not pile on new ones.
"All right! Promise not to go anywhere! Papi should meet my brother. It's not good to let them wait outside." Alvan still embraces his two unsatisfied children have a radiance of warmth from the body created from his part.
"But leave! We'll be sweet here!" push away the delicate Afisa. Did not like to be close to Alvan or indeed sincerely help Alvan become a good host.
"All right! Papi trusts you. Go inside and take care of your sister."
"Yes Pi." - Azzam and Afisa.
Alvan got up leaving his two children to head downstairs. Azzam quite pity see Alvan's condition. If the bad luck has come new fruit out of the stem immediately fall without having a chance of fruit completely.
"But he's been dumping us for years. Don't you see our mother's suffering?"
"But didn't know that mom was pregnant with us. He incited a woman named Karin. Now the woman is dying. The woman had defended her mother in public. Maybe he repented."
"Cece has not been able to accept papi sincerely."
"Not what.do not know then not dear. You will love when you know Papi. Let's see Amei! I fell off the couch."
Afisa chuckled little remembering their innocent sister. Afifa was happy in her uncomplicated world. Always positive thinking. It is not a problem like Azzam and Afisa. I like to think at length about one problem.
"Yok ko!" Afisa took Azzam's arm and took him into the ward of Mr. Jono. This is the example of the child of understanding. Obey the parents' orders.
Downstairs Alvan meets the Mighty family who are still faithful waiting for the results of the operation. Alvan is not happy to trouble Citra's relatives. Their intention was sincerely to give strength to Alvan for this disaster. The bet of the Goddess is huge. Fighting with death on the operating table.
Mighty Family is still faithfully waiting in the hospital lobby. They sat in groups along the bench. Someone is talking. Some play mobile phones and some just wash their eyes see the activities of the medical.
Alvan approached his wife's family grateful added a good-natured brother. They gave Alvan support to be strong.
"Sorry.it has caused you all great distress" said Alvan in front of all the citizens of Mighty Power.
"Don't say that! We are a family. Where are the kids?" Heru seeks the shadow of Alvan's third son.
"Kids break above. There's opa they're being treated. You better all go home rest! It's already night time. I'll let you know when the operation's over."
"But Van .." argue Heru is not happy to leave Alvan when he needs support.
"I'm fine! The kids stay here. I'll take them if they ask to go home."
Heru rolled his eyes around asking for an opinion. Everyone agrees to go home. Even in the hospital they can't help. It's just troublesome Alvan by swarming in the wrong place.
" Okay.If that's why we're sorry! Let us know if there is good news. We will pick up the children if they want to go home" said Heru Galant.
"Bring it home! Little kids can't stay in the hospital long." Mrs Sobirin wants her great-granddaughter to join the night. They're just little kids need a good time to sleep.
"My mom was right Van! Let the kids come home with us! We'll take care of them!" heru said he agreed to take Azzam and his sister home. Agree with everyone that small children are avoided from the gathering place of millions of viruses of various types. In addition, the emergence of the Covid virus 19 which ruled the entire world in this period.
"Ok..I'll bring the kids here! I say a thousand thanks for taking care of my little family."
"What's that by the way? Are the kids and the kids not our family? We are a big family, there is no difference in caring for children. The important thing is that children live healthy and happy lives." said Ms. Sobirin did not like Alvan to be too shy in responding to the existence of Citra in their family.
"Thank you Oma..."
Bu Sobirin laughed crisply hearing Alvan call him Oma. Who is not proud to have grandchildren at a relatively young age. Bu Sobirin is not too old to be an Oma. His grandson is old enough. There's even a friend of Bu Sobirin's for gini grandchildren whose babies just don't exist. Mrs Sobirin has even had a great-grandchild who has grown into a teenager.
Alvan was forced to return to pick up the children to go home with the Mighty family. The good cause of the Mighty family is impossible to resist by Alvan. They also think about the health of their children.
Fortunately Azzam and Afisa did not bother asking to stay. Alvan suspects they have been sleepy to need a comfortable place to lay down their small bodies. Afifa had indeed sailed around the world in her dream.
Alvan carries Afifa to be handed over to the Mighty. Alvan is grateful to meet a good family willing to help bear some of the burden.
Alvan gave Afifa to Heru. The little girl did not want to wake up from her dream. He sleeps well no matter the world wants an apocalypse. The important thing is to dream beautiful.
"Kutitip kids yes!" Alvan handed over the responsibilities of his son to Heru. Alvan is sure Heru and his family will definitely take good care of his son. Alvan's son is a mighty descendant as well.
"Kid's son getting pinned? Helmet play pinned. Ok then! Excuse me! Don't call if you need help! Let's get our kids home!" Heru carried Afifa in his arms. Azzam and Afisa were joined by Oma Uyut.
One by one Alvan guests leave the hospital. The surroundings that had been crowded turned silent. Medical activities have also shrunk as the night has run away. The patient was almost none other than the officer cleaning up the rest of the crowd earlier.
Alvan closed his eyes it was not like to wake up face so much confusion. Kemelut came and went as if he was beating Alvan for sins in the past. Abandoned wife is pregnant and also a baby child.
How much more does Alvan owe to his wife's son? Hasn't Alvan paid yet? The question was alternately played in Alvan's mind. If only time could be repeated Alvan wanted to go back to ten years ago. Being a faithful husband for the image. Won't bring Karin the chicken to jump in her life.
Dear thousand darling it's just an empty wishful thinking of stressed people. The time that has passed is irreplaceable.
"Woi...think new gacoan huh?" one loud pat landed on Alvan's back.
No need to guess Alvan already knows who the people are lacking in work.
MAY GOD ALWAYS GRANT US ALL THE SUSTENANCE AND HEALTH TO BE IN THIS MOMENT. SORRY TO BE BORN AND TO THE MIND. HAPPY HEYDAY OF AIDUL ADHA 2022.
