142. Grieved
Zahra is currently at the airport to pick up her brother who is coming from Egypt with her entire family. Accompanied by several santri, Zahra is now waiting for the arrival of her brother who still does not look visible.
Based on the announcement of the airport there was a delay because there was a problem.The plane had a disruption in its engine so they had to make repairs first at the nearest airport.
Meanwhile, Rashid, who is currently in the Hospital along with Uminya Zahra, seemed to start panicking because it had been several hours since Kyai Hamid entered the ER room. But there is still no news at all from the doctor who handled him.
"May Abi be well lest something bad happen to him!" uminya Zahra's prayer for her husband who is currently struggling to get through his critical period.
"Amin, amen, Umy! Abi is a good man! He will be given the best path by God! The best prayer is always for Abi!" rasyid said in a trembling voice because his heart was very sad at this time with the state of Kyai Hamid, his father-in-law.
Rashid really regretted his inaccuracy back then. Why when he was in the hospital this afternoon, he didn't notice him very well. Otherwise, this might not happen. His health can still be overcome. At that time he was treated immediately.
"I'm sorry Rasyid, Umi! Which is not sensitive to Abi's health. If this afternoon we directly force Abi to be treated maybe Abi's condition will not be this bad!" Rashid was full of regret that was currently in his heart.
"No Rashid, it's not your fault! Abi's health from yesterday has indeed dropped. It's just him hiding it to us. For fear we worry!" Uminya Zahra with tears.
"Last afternoon, the doctor had advised Abi to be treated. But Abi refused. Because he said he didn't want to spend his time in the hospital!" say Umi again with a hiccup.
"Astagfirullah, Umi! Why didn't Umi say the same to Rashid? If Umi had said that, Rashid would have forced Abi to be treated this afternoon. So Abi's situation isn't like this now!" rasyid said with a great tone of regret at this time.
"I'm sorry Umi, Rashid! But Abi told Umi and asked Umy to promise not to tell you about the doctor who told him to stay in the hospital!" said his mother Zahra while looking at Rashid who was currently crying.
"Abi actually knew about her illness 1 month ago. But Abi is trying to hide it to us. Because Abi doesn't want us to worry about his condition!" Uminya Zahra to Rashid.
"What's the pain of Abi, Umi?" Rashid was full of curiosity that was in his heart at this moment.
"Gastric cancer and it's already in stage 4!" Umi then cried.
"Astaghfirullahaladzim, O Allah! Why would Abi hide such a serious illness?" rashid asked with endless curiosity. To his father-in-law who hid such a serious illness to his family.
"So Abi never treated the disease?" ask Rashid.
"Aby, treat! You remind? Once a week. Aby always said she wanted to make a pilgrimage to Cirebon?" ask umy to Rashid.
"That's when Abi came to the hospital and underwent chemotherapy. Abi begged Umi to hide her health condition to you. Aby is worried that you will be sad and also worried about Aby's condition!" now Umi has been crying more and more tears considering the situation of her husband who is fighting death in the room ER.
Rashid then rose from his seat he continued to pacing in front of his mother-in-law who was currently crying.
Some of the students who had followed them to the hospital, now seemed to begin to cry tears of sadness. Because they were sad to know the state of Kyai they who turned out to be very ill.
"Why should Abi hide his illness from us, Umi? If only, we knew from the beginning, we could definitely try to cure him!" kesal Rashid.
"Rashid! Abi has given his will to Umi! If later Abi's age can not be maintained anymore and if Ahmad is not willing to continue the leadership milestone in the boarding school, Abi wants you to be willing to continue the struggle!" said Umi with the latest voice-brick.
Raayid was very surprised when he listened to what his mother-in-law said. That is about the will of Kyai Hamid who wants him to continue the leadership milestone in the boarding school that has been pioneered by his in-laws since he was young.
"Rasyid will not be able to accept it, Umi. Rashid was afraid that Rashid would be unable to continue Abi's extraordinary struggle!" rashid said while bowing his head.
"You must trust Rashid! That Abi really believed you. Hasn't it been this long, if Abi wasn't in the cabin, you'd always take his place?" asked Umi while looking at Rasyid fixedly. There was a great hope there that Rashid could see right now.
"Rashid continues to pray! May brother Ahmad be willing to continue the leadership milestone in the boarding school!" said Rashid steady.
"Rashid! Why aren't you ready to continue?" tanya Umi looked curious and astonished with the determination of Rasyid's heart to refuse the task.
"The boarding school was the struggle of Abi and Umi since he was young. How come? Rashid who has no experience and no share in it, is able to continue that? Rashid is afraid that he will disappoint Abi's trust! Rashid prefers to build his own cottage, rather than continue the boarding school that Abi has painstakingly built!" rasyid said there is almost no doubt at all in his words at this time.
Umynya Zahra took a deep breath. To be honest, there was a sense of disappointment in his heart. When she saw Rashid who was so stupefied to refuse the task that had been given to Rashid by her husband. Who is currently struggling to fight death in the room of the ER.
"Hows it? Has there been any word from Zahra about Ahmad's arrival?" ask Rasyid.
Rashid shook his head.
"Last Zahra contacted Rashid, he said his plane had been delayed. Because there was a problem with the plane. So that they transit first at the airport closest to their position when the plane was damaged!" said Rashid who tried to explain the condition of Ahmad and his family at this time.
"We pray that they reach Indonesia safely and hopefully they can meet Abi!" then Uminya Zahra was crying. Because she was thinking about the worst thing that might happen to her husband at this time.
