The Heart (Nadira)

episode 11

Auntie Dwi also felt very lost. Aunt Dwi and Mother Nadira never disagree, even though their status is only in-law.

" Dira, don't be like this, son. Don't make Dira's parents sad there."

The words of Aunt Dwi made Nadira look at him. Nadira slowly rose from her sleep. Auntie Dwi approached, then hugged her.

" Aunty, Dira really doesn't have anyone anymore. Dira alone Tant. Dira..Thira..."

Nadira could not continue his words. His cry broke again, while hugging Auntie Dwi. Mama and Papa Alby who witnessed the grief of his daughter-in-law was only able to shed tears. Mama Ratna approached, stroking Dira's back gently.

" Dira still has Mama, Papa, and the others. There's Alby too. Dira don't be like this, son."

Mom tried to calm Dira down. Dira is still crying in Auntie Dwi's arms. After a little quiet, they left Nadira and Alby both in this room. The exhausted Nadira finally fell asleep with the rest of the tears still attached to her cheeks. Alby still faithfully accompanied Nadira. Alby is a human who has compassion.

Alby sat on the couch, staring at Dira. His face looked pale, with eyes puffy from crying too much. Alby still remembered every word that his father-in-law said.

The last message from her father-in-law was to take care of Dira. And this makes it a dilemma. At this moment in his heart there was only Syifa. Not one bit of Nadira's name there. Alby is still loyal to his own mind. Alby is still contemplating the fate of his marriage. How could he let go of Nadira.

When Alby was still loyal to all the raging thoughts. Nadira suddenly called out the name of her parents. Getting Alby close. Alby looked at Nadira's forehead which was sweating. When I will wake Nadira. Alby put Nadira's hand through. It turns out Nadira's hands are warm beyond normal temperature. Alby checked Nadira's forehead. Fever. Alby went out of the room and called his mom and dad.

Om Hendra who heard it immediately approached.

" Nadira has a high fever, Om. "

Mama, papa, and om Hendra who heard directly stepped towards the room. Sure enough, Nadira still delirious to call both parents. Auntie Dwi who just came out of the room, followed them. And immediately rushed to the kitchen to pick up the bowl and fill it with water. Auntie Dwi compresses Nadira's forehead with a small towel that has been wetted. Aunty Dwi replaced it repeatedly. Papa patted Alby's shoulder slowly.

" You have to strengthen Nadira. He's at the best point of his life."

Alby just looked at the father.

" You better rest too. Don't let you get sick."

This time Auntie Dwi said. Alby sat back on the couch. While Auntie Dwi and Mama, alternately check Nadira's body temperature. Exhausted, Alby falls asleep on the couch. I don't know how long Alby slept, when he realized, he saw the Mother and Aunt Dwi who fell asleep on the side of the bed. Auntie Dwi fell asleep on the chair with her hands as a cushion. While Mama fell asleep on the side of Nadira, and with a sitting state as well.

Alby wakes Mama up by calling her slow, and holds her mother's shoulder. Mama Ratna wakes up and sees Alby. Alby immediately placed his index finger in front of his lips, signalling that his mother would not make a sound.

" Mom better move into the room. Let Alby take care, Ma."

Mama nodded while yawning, and as Mama got out of bed, Alby asked her Mama to wake Auntie Dwi. Mama who understands, immediately woke Auntie Dwi slowly. Very clearly visible, all faces tired and sorrowful. Auntie Dwi who was spoken to by Mama also moved to her room. Alby has replaced Auntie Dwi. To take care of Nadira.
