7. Hospitalized

Aida put Maira to bed for the patient. The baby sleeps so soundly that it does not wake up when it is moved to bed. Firas approached Aida.

“I go to the cafeteria first, want to find lunch for us,” said Firas.

“Not necessary, Sir. Let me buy it myself,” said Aida.

“You can't leave Maira. Poor Maira no one is looking after,” Firas said.

“Let me buy it,” Firas said.

“But Mr. Firas is going to the office,” said Aida.

“I'll go to his office later when I have lunch,” Firas replied.

“I go to the canteen first,” say goodbye Firas.

Firaspun came out of the room. After Firas left Aida sighed.

“Pak Firas cannot be denied at all,” Aida said to herself.

“Maybe all bosses are like that all. Not to be denied,” Aida said to herself.

Aida took her phone and called Ida's mother.

“Assalamualaikum, Mrs Ida,” says Aida.

“Waalaikumsalam,” replied Ibu Ida.

“How are the results of Maira's laboratory?” ask Mother Ida.

“Maira has dengue fever, Mom,” Aida replied.

“So have to be hospitalized,” said Aida.

“Any hospital?” ask Mother Ida.

“At Pertalite hospital,” Aida replied.

“Aduh Aida, it's an expensive hospital. How do you pay the cost?” ask Mother Ida worriedly.

Then Aida told Ida's mother everything.

“Ya already, if it must be so,” said Ibu Ida.

“Bu, please prepare all the needs of Maira and my change of clothes. Get the base motorcycle between his things here. Later Aida who paid the fare,” said Aida.

“Iya, later I prepare,” replied Ibu Ida.

“Thank you, Mom. Assalamualaikum,” said Aida.

“Waalaikumsalam,” replied Ibu Ida.

Aida hung up.

Soon after, Firas came with a large amount of plastic shopping bags. Aida approached Firas and helped bring him.

“A lot of his groceries,” said Aida.

“Create supplies here lest you not starve and thirst,” replied Firas.

Aida keeps all the groceries on the table.

“I am not breastfeeding, so there is no need to eat a lot,” Aida said.

“But if you wait for patients to eat a lot so as not to hurt,” said Firas.

“Iya, Sir,” Aida replied.

“Let's eat first, mumpung Maira is still sleeping,’ said Firas.

Aida and Firaspun had lunch together.

“Susu Maira what's the brand, huh? Last time I wanted to buy afraid of being wrong,” said Firas after finishing eating.

“No need to buy, Sir. Later there will also come to deliver goods needs Maira,” replied Aida.

Firas turned to Aida.

“Who?’ ask Firas.

“Ojek drivers used to hang out in front of the road. Aida called Ida's mother to send Maira's goods here,” replied Aida.

Suddenly a voice heard someone say hello.

“Assalamualaikum.”

“Waalaikumsalam,” replied Aida while opening the room door.

“Eh, Bang Nasir,” says Aida.

“I was told by Mother Ida to deliver this,” said Nasir while giving a bag.

“Thank you, Bang. What is the cost, Bang?” ask Aida.

“Thirty thousand, Neng,” replied Bang Nasir.

“Wait a minute, Bang. I take the money first,” said Aida.

Aida was about to take the wallet, but Firas immediately gave the money of fifty thousand to Nasir.

“This money. The return just take it for Brother,” said Fira.

“Thank you, Sir. Then excuse me first,” said Nasir.

“Iya,” Firas replied.

“Neng, I'm sorry. Assalamualaikum,” said Nasir.

“Waalaikumsalam,” Aida replied.

Nasirpun left the room.

Aida breathed.

“Why are you paying again?” aida asked in annoyance.

“It's okay. Once in a while,” Firas replied.

“This is not once in a while but it has been often,” said Aida.

Suddenly there was the sound of Maira crying.

“Eeeeeekkkkkk Ma-Ma,” Maira said while crying.

Aida approached Maira and carried her.

“Honey, why are you crying?” Aida rubbed Maira's hair.

Maira sleeps on Aida's shoulder.

“Why? Is anyone sick?” firas asked as he rubbed Maira's head.

Maira replied while shaking her head.

Suddenly the nurse came into the room.

“Medicine for Maira, Mom,” nurse gives medicine to Aida.

“The meal is coming soon,” said the nurse.

“Thank you, Sister,” said Aida.

The sisters left Maira's room.

“You grandson,” says Maira.

“Eat first new drink milk,” said Aida.

Suddenly, a catering officer brought lunch to Maira.

“Lunch for Maira,” says catering officer.

“Thank you,” said Aida.

Aida showed her food to Maira.

“The food has arrived. Mommy's a bribe, huh?” said Aida.

Maira replied with a nod.

Aida feeds Maira. Maira wants to eat even a little at a time.

“Ah, smart eat it,” praise Firas.

“Om go to the office first, yes. Maira is here with Mamah,” said Firas.

Maira replied with a nod.

“If Mr cape doesn't have to come here,” says Aida.

“Nothing,” Firas said.

“Assalamualaikum,” says Firas.

“Waalaikumsalam,” Aida replied.

“Om, beyum calam,” Maira said as she extended her hand.

Firas smiled and walked over to Maira. Firas greets Maira's little hands. Maira immediately kissed Firas' palm.

“Mua,” Maira's mouth sounds when kissing Firas' hand.

Firas smiled as he rubbed Maira's head.

“Container Maira,” Firas said as he waved his hand.

“Face, Om,” Maira replied to a wave of Firas's hand.

Firas came out of Maira's room. Aida continued to feed Maira.

In the afternoon, Aida accompanied Maira to her favorite movie. Suddenly someone opened the door.

“Assalamualaikum,” Ibu Ida enter the room.

“Waalaikumsalam,” Aida replied.

Mother Ida came accompanied by her husband. Mother Ida and Mr. Aan approached Maira's bed.

“How is Maira doing?” ask Mother Ida.

“Alhamdullilah the heat has gone down. Hopefully not going up again,” replied Aida.

“Hopefully recover quickly and can go home quickly,” said Ibu Ida.

“Aamiin yes rabbal alamin,” replied Aida.

“At home quiet if there is no Maira,” said Mr. Aan.

Mother Ida and Mr. Aan are alone. His three children are married and have their own house in the suburbs of Jakarta. They often feel lonely. But ever since Aida moved in next door, they've never been lonely again. After returning home to teach, Mr. Aan often invited Maira to play. Mr. Aan treated Maira like his own grandson.

Mother Ida and Mr. Aan have been in Maira's room for a long time. They invited Maira to play. Until the sound of the adhan magrib, they also say back home.

Maira was sleeping while talking, while being caressed by her Mom. Suddenly someone entered the room while saying a greeting.

“Assalamualaikum,” said Firas when he entered the room.

“Waalaikumsalam,” Aida replied.

Firas had changed clothes. Firas no longer wears a work shirt, he uses a tshirt and jeans. Firas brought a lot of plastic shopping and he put it on the table. Firas approaches Maira's bed.

“How is Maira doing?” firas asked while holding Maira's forehead.

“Alhamdullilah, the heat has gone down,” replied Aida.

“He wants to eat?” ask Firas.

“Mau, although not much,” replied Aida.

“Thank God,” says Firas.

Maira watched Mamahnya and Om Firas who were talking while hitting the dot.

“You've eaten, not yet?” ask Firas.

“Not yet, but it's already eaten cake,’ replied Aida.

“I brought rice uduk with chicken for you,” Firas said.

“Thank you. I am so troublesome Mr.” said Aida.

“I don't feel bothered, kok,” Firas said.

“Come, we'll eat first. I haven't eaten either,” invite Firas.

“Maira, Mamah eat first. Maira drinks her own milk,” Aida said.

Maira replied with a nod of her head. Aida sat next to Firas. Firas gave Aida a packet of rice and a packet of side dishes.

“Eat a lot. Let it not hurt,” Firas said.

“Ya, Sir,” Aida replied.

Aida and Firas eat together. Maira finished miring straight up, she looked towards Mamahnya and Om Firas who were eating.

“Mama mam what?” ask Maira.

“Mamah eat fried chicken,” replied Aida.

“Mala want chicken goleng,” said Maira.

Aida stopped eating and approached Maira.

“Doctor said, Maira can't eat fried chicken first. Maira is sick again,” Aida said meekly.

“Kalo uda healed, boyeh?” ask Maira.

“Iya, can. Now Maira just eat cake, yes?” said Aida.

“Iya, Mama,” replied Maira.

Aida gives a piece of cake to Maira. The child is happy when given a cake, then eats it slowly. Firas notices the interaction between Aida and Maira. Maira is not Aida's biological child, but Aida treats Maira affectionately.

Aida continued eating until she was finished. After finishing eating Aida cleaned the table until clean again.

“Mr want cake?” ask Aida.

“What's cake?” ask Firas.

“Cocoa sponge cake. Last afternoon Ibu Ida came here and brought Maira's favorite chocolate sponge,” replied Aida.

“Bby, but a little. I am still full,” Firas replied.

Aida took the cake box from the cupboard and put it on the table.

“Father take it yourself,” says Aida.

Aida put a tissue on the table. Firas took out a piece of cake using a tissue and tasted it.

“Enak,” praise Firas.

“Maira likes this cake?” ask Firas to Maira.

Maira answered him with a nod. Her mouth was full of cake.

Eight o'clock at night Firas came home because it was night. Maira and Aida also had to rest.

“Tomorrow you want to bring breakfast what?” ask Firas before you go home.

“Not necessary, Sir. Let me buy it myself,” replied Aida.

“Before I go to the office, I stop by here first. Bring breakfast for you. You will have to take care of Maira, can not go anywhere,” said Firas.

Aida breathed.

“Serah Pak Firas. I am not picky food,” said Aida.

“Yes, up to me? Whatever I buy you have to eat until it runs out!” exclaim Firas.

“Iya, Sir,” Aida replied.

“Then I go home first,” says Firas.

“Maira, Om go home first yes. Tomorrow morning Om come here again,” said Firas.

“Calam duyu,” said Maira while sticking out her hand.

Firas gives his hand to Maira, then Maira kisses Firas' palm.

“Muah,” Maira's mouth sounds when kissing Firas' hand.

Firas smiled as he rubbed Maira's head.

“Assalamualaikum,” says Firas.

“Waalaikumsalam,” Aida replied.

Firaspun left Maira's room.
