Chapter 88

The inpatient room is now crowded by people who visit Aulia. Early in the morning there were Alvan and Gus Fathir. Grandpa Joseph and Grandma Halimah were happy because Aulia was better. The heat has also fallen, Aulia's body temperature was 39.1° celsius. Now it has become 37.8° celsius.

"Aulia, I'm ready, huh?" Alvan was immediately alert when someone delivered food for Aulia.

"Hey, you're not polite" said Gus Fathir preventing Alvan from doing so.

"I just want to help Aulia" said Alvan with an annoyed look at his love rival.

Grandpa Yusuf and Grandma Halimah also intervened. Yusuf's grandfather invites Alvan and Gus Fathir to eat together in the hospital canteen. Meanwhile, Grandma Halimah helped Aulia eat and take medicine.

"Are you sick from thinking too much about the three of them?" grandmother asked Halimah while feeding Aulia.

"No idea, Grandma. It's probable. Aulia kept thinking about which was the best of the three of them," Aulia replied quietly.

"Have you prayed istikharah?" Halimah's grandmother held Aulia's hand and held her gently.

"It has been three days every night always performing prayers istikharah. But, this heart is still not attached to them," I Aulia with a sad tone and a sad look on her face.

"You must not force yourself. Leave everything to God. He is the one who will guide you in deciding the choice of a mate," said Grandma Halimah.

Aulia nodded as well. He knew that the soul mate had been written by God. He just had to try to pick her up. If the time comes, then everything will happen.

Yusuf's grandfather takes Alvan and Gus Fathir to eat in the cafeteria. They bought rice and sweet tea. When it was finished, Grandpa Yusuf wanted to hear the real reason they had skipped work.

"Gus Fathir, why skip work? Gus Fathir should know the responsibility of the work" asked Grandpa Yusuf, looking at the man in casual clothes.

"Sorry, Yusuf Ustadz. Today I am not on holiday, but enter later during the day" replied Gus Fathir with embarrassment.

"I hope Gus Fathir does not neglect his teaching responsibilities. If there is no obstacle that is truly udzur and cannot be represented," said Grandpa Yusuf who struck the heart of this childless widower.

'Hahaha, what a pity this Gus Fathir. Fortunately, I work in my own place. So, no one will protest.' (German)

Feeling that he would not get a word from Grandpa Yusuf, the young man smiled faintly. However, the smile instantly disappeared as the old man stared at him.

"Alvan," called Grandpa Yusuf.

"Yes, Cake," replied Alvan.

"You are a leader. It should set a good example for your employees. How can you bring the company to be better, if the leader alone is not responsible. You two better do what is your responsibility. Let our Aulia take care, for this is our responsibility as Aulia's guardian" said Grandpa Yusuf.

Finally, the two men paid their respects to Aulia with a heavy heart. It was clearly visible on their faces. Moreover, Alvan whose eyes were filled with hope to be left there to take care of him.

"Mr Alvan, pity Mario if you have to handle all the work. Not that today you're going to do a nudge against the employees?" Aulia remembered the man's schedule.

"Yes, this is also about to go," Alvan said unwillingly.

Gus Fathir said a prayer to Aulia. This prayer was read seven times.

“As’alullahal azhima rabbal ‘arsyil ‘azhimi an yassfiyaka."

(That is: “I ask the Great God, the great God of Thrones to heal you).

“Allhummasyfi Aulia. Allhummasyfi Aulia. Allhummasyfi Aulia.”

(That means: “My Lord, heal Aulia. My Lord, heal Aulia. My Lord, heal Aulia).

"Aamiin," replied everyone there.

"Hopefully the afternoon fever has gone down and tomorrow it can go home" said Gus Fathir with a soft voice.

"Aamiinu. Thank you, Gus Fathir, and Mr. Alvan. Already visited me on the sidelines of your busy life," said the woman in a milk coffee veil.

Aulia sleeps and wakes up only when she will pray and eat medicine. His body temperature was normal by midday. This made Grandpa Yusuf and Grandma Halimah feel happy.

When Aulia finished eating the medicine came Rangga with a little girl, named Shafiyah. The little girl felt very happy to see Aulia again.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Mother of Aulia," greeted the little girl with her cute voice and kissed her hand.

"Wa'alaikumsalam, Safiyya." Aulia kissed back and rubbed the head of the two-year-old boy over this.

"Safiyah immediately wanted to see you, once she knew you were sick," said Rangga.

Aulia was happy with Safiyah, the cute and adorable toddler. Had Rangga not adopted the child, he would have taken it from the orphanage.

"Thank you, Safiyah." Aulia hugged the tiny body with a smile continuing to adorn her face.

"Mother of Aulia, every day I pray to God that Mother Aulia and papa can be together forever to old and die later" Safiyah said.

Where will Aulia's heart be anchored? Will Rangga use Safiyah to get the idol? Wait for it to go, yeah!
