The Sacrifice of Nayra

Travelling by Aisha (Part 2)

Time keeps rolling. Rama was still standing staring at the still wet mound of earth in front of him. Her brain turned back to recall the moment Aisha took her last breath.

That night only Rama and Bu Aini were waiting for Aisha in her ward. They can't sleep all night because Aisha's condition suddenly worsens. She developed complications from preeclampsia leading to HELPP Syndrome, a serious complication of high blood pressure during pregnancy.

HELLP syndrome is :

H \= hemolysis (red blood cell breakdown).

EL \= elevated liver enzymes (decreased liver function).

LP \= low platelets counts (low platelets).

HELLP syndrome usually develops before the 37th week of pregnancy, but can occur soon after delivery. Many women have been diagnosed with preeclampsia before. Symptoms include nausea, headache, abdominal pain, and swelling.

At seven o'clock in the morning, the nurse entered Aisha's nursery while holding the baby.

"Sir, Mom, this is your baby. We've washed it. Please breastfeed immediately, Mom!" The nurse put the baby into a baby box.

"Thank you, Sister" said Rama and Aisha. The sister smiled, then left.

"Papa's son is beautiful." Rama carried the baby, and then kissed both of her puffed cheeks. Aisha smiled happily to see Rama who was gently holding her daughter.

"Mas Rama, please name our baby Kyara yes, Mas! I love that name," said Aisha.

"Yes, Honey. I like that name too" said Rama.

"Kyara .. Papa's son, drink milk first yes, dear yes!" Rama puts her baby next to Aisha for breast-feeding. With the pain in her stomach, Aisha tilted her body to breastfeed her baby.

Baby Kyara suckles strongly. Her taste bursts into Aisha's heart when she first breastfeeds her baby. Her tears melted instantly.

Maybe this is the first time at once *the last time Mama breastfed you, S*ayang, murmured Aisha in heart, then kissed her daughter's forehead.

After breastfeeding, Aisha kissed her baby's face gently. It was as if he would never see her again. "Honey, may you grow up to be a beautiful, beautiful and pinter child."

"Aamiin" said Rama.

"Mas, please put Kyara back in her baby box!" aisha pinta. Rama also complied with his wife's request.

"Mas Rama, here's Mas!" Aisha grabbed her husband's hand, then clasped it tightly.

"I'm sorry, Mas, if all this time I have the same Mas Rama. I'm Kyara's, Mas. Please take good care of her!" said Aisha getir.

Rama shook his head many times. Her tears were flowing down both of her cheeks.

"I beg you not to cry, Mom! You look really ugly when you cry." said Aisha while forcing her smile.

"Don't go Aisha, don't leave me alone! I need you so much" said Rama, shaking his head with tears still streaming down.

Rama hugged Aisha's body tightly. Aisha could not hold back her tears anymore. Her tears broke in her husband's arms. But as fast as lightning he wiped it.

You can't cry! Smile Aisha! You must go happily! he murmured in the heart.

"Mas please call Mom!" pinta Aisha later. Rama let go of his embrace, then wiped his tears.

"Yes, I'll call you. Waita minute!" Rama rushed out to call his mother-in-law.

Aisha knew her age would not be long. He tried to keep smiling in his last moments, to strengthen all members of his family. In her heart, Aisha is very sad because she cannot care for and raise her baby daughter. She was also sad to have to leave her beloved husband. But Aisha is not in power against God's destiny.

"Aisha!" exclaimed Bu Aini, then hugged his eldest daughter with tears that broke. "How are you doing, son? You're doing okay, right? You're not going to leave me, are you, son?"

"Don't cry Mom! Aisha is not pa-pa. You have to be strong! Where's Nayra Bu?"

Aini ma'am divorced her embrace. "Nayra hasn't arrived yet. Maybe in a minute. I called her earlier."

"Mom, Aisha apologizes to Mom if Aisha has been wrong all this time. I'm sorry that Aisha hasn't been able to make her happy."

"What are you saying, son? Don't talk like that! You're a good boy. All this time you've always tried to make Mom happy."

I could feel, as though the angel of death was drawing near and preparing to uproot my life. I don't have much time left, Aisha thought.

"Mr Aisha!" nayra shouted after opening the door. Her nap gasped for breath as she ran from the parking lot to her sister's nursery.

Aisha and Ms. Aini turned towards the door. Nayra immediately approached her brother. Followed by Rama, Alina and their parents.

"Mr Aisha is fine, isn't she, Ma'am? I was so scared when Mom called me. Mother said condition Aisha Ngedrop and Ma'am Aisha wants to meet me. What's up, Ma'am? Please don't scare me!" nayra nodded in panic.

"Nay, Ma'am Aisha apologizes yes, if you have been wrong with Nay," said Aisha Lirih.

Aisha stared at the rest of her family one by one.

"Mom, Papa, Alina ... Aisha is sorry, if all this time Aisha has been wrong with you. Sorry if all this time Aisha has not been able to be a good daughter-in-law for Mama and Papa."

"Don't talk like that, brother! Aisha's sister has no fault with Alin. Alin is sure that Aisha's sister will be fine" Alina said with teary eyes.

"Yes Aisha, fight for your baby" said Ms. Maya, holding her granddaughter.

"Yes Aisha, Papa is sure that you will be fine" said Mr. Syamsul.

Aisha simply forced her smile in response to the words of Alina and her two in-laws.

"Nayra," hiss Aisha.

"Yes, Ma'am" said Nayra.

"Mbak Aisha is Kyara, Nay. Please take care of him and raise him! Think of him as your own son! I'm sure you're the one who's the most suitable mother for Kyara. I don't want anyone else to be her mother. I just want you to be Nay."

Everyone in the room was shocked to hear Aisha say.

"Aisha's mom, what did you just say?" ask Nayra.

"So please Nay, marry Mas Rama after Aisha's mother is gone."

"Aisha! What are you talking about? Please take back your words, Aisha!" exclaim Rama.

"Mas, Aisha please, marry Nayra for the sake of our son Mas!"

"No Aisha, I don't want to!" rama said while shaking his head.

"Aisha please Mas, fulfill Aisha's last request! Let Aisha go quietly," urged Aisha as she explained her pale face. "Nay, Ma'am Aisha please, full of last wishes Ma'am, yes!"

"Religion ..." Aisha took a deep breath after which she breathed her last. Both of his eyes were closed forever. Everyone was screaming hysterically.

"Aisha ... Don't leave me, Aisha!" Rama clenched his wife's body tightly.

"Mbak Aishaaa .. don't go Ma'am!" nayra exclaimed while shaking her brother's legs.

"Aishaupt ... Aishaup!" exclaims Bu Aini. Suddenly, his whole vision went dark.

"Mother!" Nayra screeched as she saw her mother pass out.

"Alina, call the doctor!" exclaim Mr. Syamsul. Alina immediately went to call the doctor.

Shortly after, the doctor came and examined Aisha's condition. While the sisters provide first aid to Ms. Aini.

"Sorry sir, Mom, the patient is dead" said Mr. Doctor.

"Innalillahi wa innailaihi roji'un" said everyone as they shed tears.

"Suster, please take note of the time of his death!" tell Mr. Doctor.

"Well, Doc," said the nurse.

"Patience to you, sir, Mom. Excuse me first." The doctor left the room. While the nurse took off all the wires and hoses connected to Aisha's body, then pulled the blanket to cover her entire body.
