"*You are strong, son, now we pray first. You haven't prayed since dzuhur until now it's maghrib son. Don't forget your duty, son. If you find out, he'll come to you. Now you clean, and pray. Go to daddy's room on the top floor" said daddy

"Yes dad. Adam up first" Pamit adam

After Adam left, daddy bram and father marvel headed for the hospital mushola. They prayed there, and asked the Creator a miracle*.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

While in the room daddy bram, adam took a bath and immediately performed prayers.

" O Allah show your wonders to the son and wife of the servant. Do not separate us, O God. The servant loves her very much, and will do anything for the sake of the servant's wife. Yes Rabb please the servant's wife can get through her critical period. The servant is not strong to see all kinds of medical equipment attached to his body. I ask You, O Rabb. Only on Mu the servant asks, and only on Mu the servant complains. Amen" Adam's prayer in the heart

Finish shalat adam directly tidied up the prayer mat. And down to the ICU room, he saw there was another family there. They cried to see his wife inside. All the families are gathered at the behest of daddy and marvel's father but adam doesn't know.

"Dad why is everyone here?" adam was confused

"Father gathers to make a joint prayer event. We will pray together in the orphanage behind the hospital. Orphanage used to go to your wife first son" explained daddy bram

"Good dad, but we should wait for the arrival of pomegranate mama and papa surya. After all, they've been raised by them." Adam said

"All right, we'll wait for them. Now you go buy some groceries to take to the parlor. And prepare food for tomorrow we bring. Daddy hope you all help mommy and auntie rita" Pinta daddy bram

"Good dad" Luna and Lina answered

The other nodded his head. After they had discussed, the doctor exited the room.

"Alhamdulillah sir, buk dinda made it through the critical period. But we'll monitor buk dinda's situation. And will do another check after the buk dinda siuman." Doctorate

"Alhamdulillah" they said simultaneously

"I'm sorry sir" said the doctor

They looked inside, there were two doctors and a couple of sisters who brought and tidied up the tools. After that they went out and paid a farewell to the wijaya and wilson families.

Mommy and the others went home, Adam was alone in the hospital. Because Adam wanted to when his wife woke up he was the first to be seen.

Adam went inside and touched his wife's hand. Caressing his wife's head, smelling her hand.

"It's a shame that you know you're so happy because you're going through your critical period. I hope we can take care of our children until they grow up, baby. I want to be happy with you and with our children" Adam said

The door sounds open

Turns out that the baby's husband didn't come home, he went to the hospital cafeteria to buy dinner for him and for adam.

"Adam eat first deck, this is uda mas buy dinner. If you're sick, you can't take care of your dinda" said the baby

"Yes" adam answered

Adam walked over to the sofa, and opened the food. Bayu eats the food he buys, but Adam has no taste.

"Dam don't keep stirring, eat. You have to be strong, not gini. Dinda wouldn't be happy to see you like this either" she said

"Yes mas, sorry mas" said adam lirih

Adam ate the food with no taste. After eating, the baby cleaned the table. Throw their food wrappers into the trash cans outside the room. Adam chose to go to the toilet to take ablution because it was Isha.

Bayu did not return because he went straight to the hospital mosque. Adam prayed in his wife's room. After the prayer, Adam taught next to his wife.

Because adam remembered that his wife really liked adam to teach beside him. Bayu finished praying and saw the scenery that made him amazed.

He was proud to have a sister-in-law like Adam, knowing what his sister wanted. Bayu chose to sit on the sofa while playing his cellphone. He doesn't bother adam.

Adam placed the Quran in a drawer next to the patient's bed. Adam looked at his wife's face and kissed her. Adam turned to the sofa, apparently his brother-in-law was asleep.

She was slowly sleepy, and fell asleep sitting next to his wife.
