The Healer of the Sinner

The Healer of the Sinner
Go To The Nursing Home



During these three weeks, Nina's life felt increasingly different. Despite the economic situation his family began to improve with his acceptance as a permanent employee in his place of work. And his father's livestock business that little by little began to bear fruit. And that's enough to just make a daily meal.


While the salary he received from Santuy cafe is quite large, he used it for college and some are also saved. Nina no longer wanted to trouble the Al-Gazali family who had not previously been her future father-in-law who had unbeknownst to her had enrolled herself in the renowned faculty that she had dreamed of so far.


Nina is determined to find her own money to pay for the next semester. Because Bu Zainiyah who had paid the registration money and the first semester money made Nina feel bad.


There has been a lot of help he received and his family from the family who is currently his future father-in-law. Since the beginning, Mr. Alkaf and Mr. Zainiyah had insisted on financing Nina's lecture until it was completed. But, Nina refused subtly.


Nina argues, if the cost of his college is borne all, it makes him not have the fighting power or passion to work to get money as a form of motivation in himself. And Bu Zainiyah really appreciated the reason for the Nina. What a strong-minded girl with a burning spirit. And that made Pak Alkaf and Bu Zainiyah salute Nina even more.


Finally, Ms. Zainyah left all the decisions to Nina on one condition, if she ever needed money or needed help, Ms. Zainiyah insisted that Nina come to her. And Nina simply nodded in agreement to the terms Bu Zainiyah gave her.


The attitude of condolence that he felt from the beginning in the Al-Gazali family was increasingly rampant when the status of the three weeks had turned into his future father-in-law. The bad taste he felt made Nina not confident to say hello freely as before, before that status changed as it is today.


Ms. Zainiyah who exchanged messages every day through her cellphone often contacted Nina. Although only exchanging news or just remind Nina not to forget to eat in order to maintain health, as a form of attitude of attention to the daughter-in-law who is very dear to her own child.


As of now, her future father-in-law has just sent a message that next week she will invite herself to one of her subscription*b*outique for wedding dress fittings to be held next month.


Nina still does not believe, that she will soon become a wife and let go of her bachelor with a man who until now did not know at all what his face was like. The first and last meeting also made him still cause doubt in his heart about the figure of a priest who will soon become the leader in his household.


Nina who was ready in her work uniform stepped out of her room after replying to a message from Bu Zainiyah. Nina approached her parents to leave for work. Nina also did not forget to convey a message from her prospective in-laws if next week she was invited to do a wedding dress fitting.


"Dad, Mom, Nina left for work first huh?" nina said as she took her parents' hands in turn to kiss their hands. The routine that Nina never leaves every time she leaves the house.


"Be careful, son, don't speed with the bike." exclaimed his father who was followed by a nod of the head by Nina. Nina knitted her motor matic with a smile that expands after getting a wave of hands from her parents and lost swallowed in a direction that is getting away from the eye.


Yes, Nina is now able to buy a matic motorbike, even though she got it on credit. But at least Nina was able to manage her finances well even though she had to be patient for a long period of time to pay off the installment.


Indeed, the economic changes that he felt were not separated from the help of the Al-Gazali family, and that was the only reason for Nina to be determined to do her best in her match with the son of the very meritorious man.


The clock time still showed at nine in the morning, and Nina still had an hour to get into the workplace. Nina, who from the beginning intended to visit Grandpa Mukti, took her vehicle to the nursing home that she had not visited for a long time.


Nina who has prepared food supplies that she had brought from home to give to Grandpa Mukti. Nina who had previously told her mother about her intention to visit Grandpa Mukti made Bu Aminah deliberately cook more food for Nina to bring.


Nina standardizes her motor after she turns off the engine and gets to her destination. With a cheerful face Nina entered the home to Grandpa Mukti's room, which she had previously said goodbye and greeted the caretaker mother who had known her.


Nina knocked on Grandpa Mukti's room door and pushed it slowly, as it was seen that the door was not tightly closed with a gap that was slightly open. "Assalamualaikum, Grandfather," said Nina swinging the door wide.


"Waalaikumus' salam, my granddaughter, Nina." said the old voice that sounded raucous in hearing. Nina smiled faintly hearing the Grandfather who knew her instantly just by hearing her voice.


"Grandfather, how do you know if it's Nina?" asked Nina in surprise, but did not dampen her smile because she was relieved. Nina thinks that something has happened that is not good for Grandpa Mukti, because since last night she did not stop thinking about it. For some reason, Nina was also confused. Maybe because he had not visited Grandpa Mukti for a long time which he considered his own grandfather. It turns out Grandpa Mukti is fine.


"Don't make your voice, you just want to come here Grandpa can feel it, Cu." said Grandpa Mukti who at that time rubbed Nina's head with his old hands. Nina who was currently experiencing Grandpa Mukti was very happy to get the attention that was so sincere even with just a mere swipe of hand.


"Nina misses, Grandpa." said Nina while hugging Grandpa Mukti who was sitting on the bed. The grandfather simply patted the girl's back in his arms. "How are you, Cu?" asked Grandpa Mukti after taking off his embrace.


"Good, Cake. Grandpa himself how's he doing?" ask Nina.


"Grandpa's news is good too. Grandpa here is very happy. All of Grandpa's needs were met with everything. Whatever it is. Especially since Nizam became a permanent donor in this orphanage, and he asked the mother of the parlor to treat Grandpa specifically. But Grandpa wouldn't. With all that Nizam gave to this home was more than enough for Grandpa. Really, he's a very kind and wise young man. May he have the perfect soul mate."


Nina had to hear Nizam again. With great difficulty he tried to forget the name, and cast away the shadow that had been so difficult for him to forget.


But now, Grandpa Mukti instead called the name back and made Nina have to go back to the flashbacks in the days where the first time she met with Nizam.
