" I love my bed!! Hi, how are you?? Do you miss me?? I miss you so much!! "
" I'm glad my Dona is back" Khalis said as she looked at Dona, who was face down on the bed.
" A month huh?? isn't it Mas, Al's been treated for a month?? "
" Yes, it's been a month since I've been in the hospital. "
" Now rest, then wake up before Maghrib. "
It didn't take long, and Dona fell asleep.
Khalis also enjoyed her delayed lunch in the room while looking at Dona's deeply asleep face.
In the evening, they gather together for dinner.
" When are you going to the hospital again?? " ask Zalfa.
" Will finish dinner tonight. "
" Why a spit?? You're not staying at home?? Dad too?? "
" I'm sorry, I promised Al only till night, I didn't catch up. Next mom home, mommy sleeps at home. "
" Dad didn't stay at the hospital, just nganterin Mom just picked up Aisha's mom. "
" I'm going to the shop tomorrow and the cafe. Father 2 nights sleep at home, " explained Khalis.
" Yeeeeiiii Daddy's home!!! it is very quiet there is no father with Mother. "said Zalfa girang.
" Fa, Al's treatment is long and long, so the same father's mother will often go back to the hospital. But I'm sorry, a month ago mom didn't come home and you couldn't look either. "
" I miss Al, when can Al be taken?? how can Aisha stay there?? " ask Zalfa.
" Aisha's mother's age is more than 17 years, so you can wait for Alta, because her endurance is strong. Al ga can be visited by many people, because of the risk of the virus that will worsen the condition of Al's body now. "
" Let's have a video call. You can also send a card or video to Al, he'll be happy, " Dona continued.
Dona and Khalis take advantage of a three-minute dinner with Zalfa after a month of not meeting.
Zalfa spilled all of his heart during Khalis's death and Dona went to the hospital.
" I apologize father and mother yes Fa, yesterday forgot if you still have Zalfa at home, sorry ya darling, " said Dona while hugging Zalfa.
" And now I'm sorry again, I have to go back to the hospital, because I promised Al. Allah the day after the day I slept at home. "
Zalfa nodded, although he understood the situation at the time, but as a child, he also wanted his parents to always be around him.
Khalis then drove Dona back to the hospital.
Along the way to the hospital, Khalis clasped Dona's hand.
" Which, later Mas tried to talk to Aisha, to take turns to stand guard at the hospital. If we divide by 3, it will be lighter for all of us. "
" So he still works free lance, can set his own time."
" But don't put Aisha on the line."
" Yes, that's why I want to talk from heart to heart "
" The point is, the journey to Al's recovery is still long, we can't do it alone. Do not deceive ourselves which will ultimately damage our health. We must also rest, we must be healthy, " Khalis continued.
Dona's HP was ringing.
" Assalamu'alaikum Bu "congratulations Rafif.
" Already, just arrived at the apartment. Mother where?? "
" Other in the car, go to the hospital. Mom came home for a little rest. "
" Same mother Daddy must take care of the condition, do not be tired, " said Rafif with a worried tone.
" In shay Allah. What's up, Fif ?? "
" I just sent money to my mom's account, to help with Al's medical expenses. "
" Uh what?? you still need it for yourself. In shaa Allah the father and mother are still able to finance Al's treatment. "
" Yes Mom, I know. Dad and mom would have been able, but I can't possibly stay here without doing anything for Al's recovery. I want to go home but I can't yet, I want to share the sadness, the fatigue with my father and mother, but I'm still tied here, "that moment Rafif's cry broke.
" I want to go home Mom, I want to stay in the hospital, I want to be there, but what?? I can't!!! "
Khalis stopped his vehicle, then took Dona's HP.
" If, your job is to help prayer from there. Seriously, you are there near the Temple, take your time to worship in the house of God. You can use your time off for Umrah, help do'a from there. When you can go home, go home. But now I'm asking you to be clear-headed, mature, we're all sad, we're all afraid of losing Al. But don't forget, we have our own duties and obligations. I accept your help, but don't torture yourself with guilt for not being here, don't!! You need to calm down. "
Rafif also realized, because his father's speech was right.
" I'm sorry Dad, Mom. I'm too emotional. "
" No papa, that's natural. I ask you now calm down, you must have just called Aisha so immediately meweek like this. "
Rafif laughed out loud.
" Mewek but not until I'm getting too tight, ma'am. "
" Oouuch which language!! it's dark, why it's dark... "
" It's a dark night!! Acting teruus. "
" I'm sorry, but this is my hidden talent. "
Rafif laughed when he heard his parents joke.
" Thank God I've recharged again, otw fighting never dies!! " continue Dona.
" Fif, you calm down. We fight in our own place, God gives us a test because God loves us. In shaa Allah this test becomes the evildoer of our sins in the hereafter "Khalis added.
" Yowes Fif, I'm driving first. We'll talk again."
Rafif stopped his video call and Khalis continued his journey to the hospital.
Arriving at the hospital, Khalis and Dona see Asih doctor first to find out Al's current condition.
" I'm optimistic Al can get through it all, it seems that with the presence of his brother a little help Al's psychic condition. "
" The plan is, I will take turns with her father and Aisha in the future" Dona said.
" Yes it is better, if there are other family members who can help replace it is also not a problem. But, before that we must ensure his health condition first. "
" Well Doc, later I will make a schedule to accompany Al" Khalis said.
" How long does it usually take, Doc, to make a full recovery?? " ask Dona.
" I cannot be sure, because the physical and psychological condition of each patient is different. Try joining a parent community with a child with leukemia. You will both get moral help from that community. I'll give you the link later. "
" Obviously, leukemia is dangerous, the side effects of chemotherapy are also painful, but until now, this treatment is the most powerful for Al conditions. And keep in mind, we must be ready with all possibilities, complications or spread, of course we all do not expect it to happen. But I as a doctor should not close my eyes to the possibility that happens. "
" 2 weeks away, is the second chemotherapy schedule. We must prepare the physical and psychic Al. The verses of the Qur'an that are heard throughout the day have a positive effect. At least, compared to other patients, Al looks fresher and vomiting is very minimal. Moreover, this afternoon when I visited, Al was memorized by Aisha. I was moved to see it, Al has a strong fighting power. I also had a chance to talk to Aisha, she said that she was sad, she wanted Al to come home soon, healthy as ever, as usual, but all he can do now besides praying is comfort and accompany Al. You both should be grateful to have such tough, strong children."
