WAITING FOR LOVE BETWEEN THEIR LOVE

Chapter 3: Critical...

"Going away from a place for good is often heavy. Especially if the place holds a lot of memories. Not to mention, if the departure also separates us from the closest people. When you have to experience it, your heart will feel deep sadness." Husna surprised Alvino.

" Husna, you haven't slept?"

" How can I sleep if my own husband can't sleep because he's sad."

Alvino instantly averted his gaze and regretted the tears left in the corner of his eyes.

"The proverb says there is nothing more bitter than the bitterness of separation. The words goodbye seems real experienced by many people. Every meeting ends with a farewell."

"Happiness is always accompanied by sadness that will come and go. Every day one can meet new people and part with old people. Sometimes not all meetings can give togetherness. Some even end up with painful partings."

Alvino.

"To be together needs extraordinary determination than before. So don't make your farewell the end of any kind of voyage, but make it the beginning of a new story more beautiful than ever." Husna's words made Alvino take a quick look in his direction before turning his gaze in the other direction.

" Husna, I don't want to hurt you because of this marriage. I'm sorry that I may not be able to accept the fact that you're my wife right now but I promise to be a good husband to you."

"Man will not be able to feel the love that will be present if he has not been able to release all forms of suffering from the previous story.."

Alvino.

" It's night, you should go in and rest because it's not good too long exposed to the night wind. If the heart and mind are still unable to calm down then prayer and prostration is the right place to get calm."

After saying that, Husna went inside and was already in her sleeping position when Alvino closed the balcony door and walked towards the bathroom.

Husna smiled as she watched Alvino hold a prayer mat and drift in two rakaats that she did.

Her morning...

The atmosphere of the house suddenly became panicked when papa's health declined drastically.

Husna immediately decided to take Papa to the hospital.

Husna, who was previously an assistant doctor, decided to go into the ICU room to see exactly what was the cause of the decline in Mr. Winata's condition.

Mr. Winata himself has been suffering from complications in recent years, only the disease has become very severe in the last 2 years.

Husna became a nurse who always helped Mr. Winata to wash blood during outpatient care until then Mr. Winata personally asked Husna to take care of him at home when Mr. Winata could no longer take care the walk.

Since then, Husna decided to stop working in the hospital and devote himself to Mr. Winata's family. It can be said Husna became a nurse Mr. Winata as well as family doctor Mr. Winata.

Husna was grateful for her decision to stop working in the hospital because staying at Mr. Winata's house made Husna feel a family warmth that Husna had never felt before.

And now seeing Mr. Winata lying weakly helplessly made Husna unable to hold back her cries.

Mr. Winata was declared critical.

All the families were now gathered and were at Mr. Winata's side while Husna was nowhere to be seen.

" Alvino, try to find where Husna is." Say Mama.

Alvino only nodded his head before he finally came out of Mr. Winata's room to look for Husna.

Alvino immediately stepped foot into the mosque in the hospital and it was true that Husna was there.

" Assalamualaikum Husna."

Alvino stopped his approach to Husna when a doctor approached and greeted Husna.

" Walaikumsalam Doctor Ciko."

" I heard that the patient you personally treated at his home is critical."

" Yes, please pray for his health because the doctor has raised his hands on his condition." Husna said while bowing his head.

"The world is only a place of rest or lodging to wait for the Hereafter. No one knows of death, including the Messenger of Allah, nor does he know it."

" Maybe he is asking for sincerity from all members of his family."

Husna fell silent without Doctor Ciko knowing, Husna's tears had dripped and wet the veil she was wearing.

" Husna..." Alvino finally approached Husna.

" Assalamualaikum." Alvino.

" Walaikumsalam, you....." Ask Doctor Ciko.

" I'm Alvino. Husna's husband."

Ciko glanced at Husna who was still bowing her head before finally receiving a handshake from Alvino.

After Ciko and Alvino made small talk, Alvino invited Husna to return to Mr. Winata's room.

Along the way, Husna continued to think about what Ciko said about Mr. Winata who might be waiting for the sincerity of his entire family.

Arriving in Mr. Winata's room.

" What does the doctor mean by saying that Mr. Winata can no longer if it is not installed various hoses in his body?" Mama said with tears.

" I'm sorry ma'am, we doctors have tried but Mr. Winata's illness has been very spread throughout his body so to keep Mr. Winata survive we must not remove the hose in his body. Let's just say, Mr. Winata is now back to experiencing, he said,. Only the difference now is that only a miracle from God can awaken it."

" Hiks. You must have misdiagnosed my husband because a few days ago my husband was healthy even my own husband was the witness to the marriage of my second son."

The doctor chose to be quiet and lowered his head because he really did not have the heart to tell the wife of Mr. Winata that Mr. Winata's condition in medicine can no longer be helped.

Husna who saw it immediately calmed Mama who is now her mother-in-law.

One week passed, Mr. Winata's condition was truly concerning.

The doctor asked the sincerity of the family to remove the breathing tube installed on Mr. Winata considering the life expectancy of Mr. Winata is only 10%.

Husna never absent recited the holy verses of the Koran near Mr. Winata.

" Assalamualaikum Father..." Husna said when he saw Mr. Winata's hand move as if it would touch his head.

Husna put Mr. Winata's hand over his head and a smile on Mr. Winata's lips.

Husna approached when he saw Mr. Winata's mouth as if he wanted to say something.

" In... ma.... na.... yes..ng la...in?"

" Maybe it's outside, Husna will call him."

Mr. Winata blinked his eyes as a nod to the head.

Husna immediately called the whole family to gather because Mr. Winata was aware.

Everyone but Alvino, Husna immediately searches for Alvino.

" Where do you think Alvino is?"
