Asiyah End Times
Abi is Calm

Almost three years since Abi suffered a stroke, their lives have changed drastically.

Umi and Asiyah were the ones who felt the change in their lives the most. Decades ago, they found and felt the luxury that God gave them through Abi.

While Abi when the fall of their lives may not feel it too much because Abi is struggling with his disease, where maybe Abi is busy with all the luxuries again, already well-given, Abi is very grateful.

Abi treatment is still routinely carried out, but why Abi has not also shown its development.

The doctor said, indeed the disease as experienced by Abi is difficult to recover in a short time. Last time when examined, Abi's heart was also troubled. Abi often short of breath. Not that it's getting better but it's getting worse. Innalil.. It's really hard what Abi experienced. It is also a pity that Abi must remain forced to endure in this state.

Lately Abi wants a lot. If fed a lot of food. Abi's getting more chatty now about food.

Yesterday Umi cooked chicken soup for Abi. Abi would not eat it. Abi threw away his face, not wanting to look at Umi's cooking at all. Umi silence. Tears to see Abi. Why did Abi become like this? What's wrong with the cooking? What is wrong Umi? Is Abi tired of Umi's cooking?

Abi is also more sensitive. As usual Ali really likes to vent his heart if he is angry, happy or sad.

The afternoon after school, Ali just went into Abi's room, Ali said, complaining to Abi.

Ali said that at school his food fell when he was taken, because Ali was hit by a schoolmate who was running, instead of changing his food, his friend just disappeared. Ali's upset.

As usual Ali was a little bit raging when telling stories. But no matter what Abi had in mind about Ali at that time, Abi instead yelled at Ali, “Eeeee.. eeeee..” Abi said in a loud tone. Abi's eyes glared at Ali.

Abi seems to be angry at Ali. Ali was scared. Ali came out of Abi's room. Ali ran to meet Umi in front of the television. Ali told Umi everything. She hugged Ali. Calm the big boy. Ali looked scared. Umi silently listened to all of Ali's stories.

Umi. Umi thought. What happened to Abi. Abi has really changed her attitude a lot lately.

After college tonight, Asiyah brought some ice cream for Ali and Aisyah.

Aisyah ate her ice cream next to Abi.

Abi saw Aisyah, “Mmmm.. mmmm.” call Abi on Aisyah with her sign language.

Aisha saw Abi. “Abi why? Abi want Aisyah ice cream huh?” aisha asked Abi.

“Mmmmm..” replied Abi. Slightly nodded.

Without a second thought, Aisyah immediately fed Abi the ice cream.

Abi ate ice cream with gourmand. Tumben once Abi like this. Ice cream's over.

“Abi want more? Later Aisyah said that Sis Asiyah would buy more for Abi, Aisha asked Abi.

“Mmmmmm..” replied Abi. Nodding.

“Ya already, Abi wait a moment, Aisyah wants to say it first with Kak Asiyah,” said Aisyah.

Aisyah approached Asiyah's sister who was resting in her room. Next to Abi's room.

The house has only two rooms. The plan later if there is more sustenance, in shea Allah will be built again one room in the back, because it is impossible if Ali followed the three sleeps continue with Kak Asiyah and Aisyah.

“Kak, Abi want ice cream kayak Aisyah Kak, buy it again Kak, pity Abi Kak,” said Aisyah to Kak Asiyah.

Asiyah was lying on her bed. So tired. Asiyah was silent for a moment. Thinks. Tumben Abi is like this. Not usually Abi likes to eat ice cream, especially to finish the ice cream Aisyah.

Asiyah nodded. Asiyah immediately went to buy ice cream for Abi at the roadside shop in front of the residential gate.

Returning from the store, Asiyah herself directly gave her ice cream to Abi. Asiyah was feeding Abi. The face of Abi. Abi ate his ice cream. Spilled into his neck. Cleaned by Asiyah's mouth and Abi's neck, wipe it using tissue.

“Tuh kak, Abi really like ice cream,” said Aisyah.

Asiyah remembered how Abi fed her ice cream, fed her and drank, and now Asiyah did everything for Abi. Glassy eyes Asiyah. Asiyah suddenly felt a deep sadness tonight. Remembering Abi's affection for her.

“Abi Already? The ice cream is over,” asked Asiyah to Abi.

Abi nodded.

“Asiyah come out first yes Abi,” said Asiyah to Abi who was lying next to her. Asiyah kissed Abi's forehead then left.

Aisha was still lying next to Abi. Aisyah seems very sleepy. His eyes began to shut, slowly Aisyah fell asleep next to Abi. Aisha hugged Abi.

The night is late.

Umi went into the room, about to sleep. He saw Aisyah sleeping on Abi's left side. The head of Ayesha was wiped, the cheek of the little girl was kissed. Then he saw Abi's old face. Abi is over 60 years old. I don't know why tonight Umi felt so missed Abi. He saw that wrinkled face. Abi is weak on his bed. Abi is sleeping. Not as usual. Abi slept very well

by tonight. Abi looked calm.

“Abi... quickly recover yaa, Umi kangen very same Abi,” whispered Umi. He kissed Abi's forehead, his cheeks left and right. He took Abi's right hand, kissed her.

Umi and Aisyah sleep tonight hugging Abi. Looks very calm.

As usual Umi woke up to perform dawn prayers. After dawn prayers Umi makes breakfast in the kitchen. After finishing making breakfast Umi returned to the room to wake Aisyah up for a bath. Abi is still sleeping, so be it. Later, little news woke up Abi.

Asiyah, Aisyah and Ali had finished their bath and breakfast. They left together using a motorbike, in conjunction with Kak Asiyah's motorbike.

Umi again saw Abi in the room. Abi still hasn't woken up from his sleep. Umi came out again to clean the house. At ten o'clock in the morning, Umi's work was done. Cook, wash, sweep and everything else. Umi's Tired. Umi took a break.

Suddenly Umi remembered Abi again. Usually Abi will call Umi by sounding his voice when he woke up from his sleep. But this time why Abi didn't call him. Umi immediately checked Abi into the room again. Judging from the front door of the room, Abi was still sleeping. Umi. I feel something strange. Nearby Abi. Umi sat right next to Abi. The hand of Abi. Chilly. So weak. Abi's eyes are still closed.

Umi anxious.

Bismillahbornrohmanirrohim.

Umi nervous. Putting her index finger under Abi's nose. Umi checked Abi's breathing. He put his head on Abi's chest. Umi checked Abi's heartbeat.

Umi.

Umi shaking.

Drooping weak body Umi. Umi felt nothing for Abi. Signs of life are disappearing. It's all gone. Abi is gone.

Innalillahi wa inna ilaihi raji’un.

Umi's tears were unstoppable. Umi's cry broke.

“Abbbiiiiiiiiiiii...” says Umi lirih.

Asiyah will be home soon. Permission from his office. Asiyah immediately picked up Ali and Aisyah at her school, permission used to be the same teacher.

As soon as possible Asiyah moved towards her house. Arriving at home, Asiyah saw a view that she did not want to see, her house was crowded with neighbors and relatives. Abi stiffened on the bed.

In the living room, it appears that Abi has been sleeping forever. Asiyah, Ali and Ayesha immediately cried and hugged Abi.

“Abiiiiiiiii.”

Umi was next to Abi from earlier. Continuously unraveling her tears reciting do’a-do’a.

Asiyah who usually seemed calm, was now powerless to hold back her grief. The taste eventually overflowed as well to the surface.

Yaa Asiyah is an ordinary woman who sometimes can not hide her emotions. Ali and Aisyah were still sobbing. They looked devastated by Abi's departure.

They understand. They understood Abi's current state. Abi has been gone forever.
