Best Teacher And Me
Grieved

Ever since she was taken to the hospital, Kila has always slept in the hospital to look after her grandmother. He only came home to pick up a new change of clothes when his dirty clothes were in the laundry. He also went home to compile some books to take to school, usually he will go home after ashar or on holidays he will go after zuhr. Last night his heart felt like a roller coaster on the move. I hope today I can feel calm.

Grandma today looked so calm, she had not even woken up in the hour she usually woke up. Kila let grandma rest, after which Kila went to the cafeteria to buy something for lunch.

"Grandma, wake up, why sleep, anyway?" Kila woke up grandma after she finished eating her lunch.

"Sir, let's get up" said Kila again as she patted the grandmother's arm.

"Miss? Grandmother...?" Kila screamed, but Grandma didn't wake up.

"Grandmother...!" Kila's shout grew louder even his voice could be heard up the hospital hallway.

Kila started crying while yelling at her grandmother. The doctor who happened to pass by, entered the grandmother's room. He kept Kila away from grandma to check on Grandma. Kila still continues to cry over the state of grandmother. He didn't want what he was most afraid of to happen.

"Dik, Innalilahi wa innailaihi Raji'un, this mother is no longer breathing" said the doctor. Instantly that piece of sentence knocked down Kila's defenses. She was crying hysterically and did not accept the situation.

"Mr... Grandma's up, Grandma. Grandma said she wouldn't leave Kila, right? Grandma, why did you leave Kila to be gone forever? It's too sudden, Grandma. Grandma, replied Kila, Grandma. Grandma woke up, dong," said Kila while shaking the body of the grandmother. He hit the pillow that became the back of the grandmother's sleep while continuing to shed tears.

"Sik, please be sincere so that he calmly leaves what he left behind" said a nurse who also followed the doctor earlier.

"You better contact your family about this sad news. If sister pleases, I can help you get in touch with your cell phone." The nurse offered. Kila reached into the bag and handed over her phone.

The nurse did not expect, the contact that Kila kept was only a little with a total of six people. And they are; Mama, Papa, Grandma, Ira, Risa and Mr. Irsyad. The nurse concluded that Kila's contact was the closest person to Kila, so she contacted the six of them with the same text message.

While Kila, he has not been able to accept the reality and still shook grandma to wake up. He said sorry for all the things Kila made that hurt her. She also quoted grandmother's words about the last messages before she died. And because of that message that Grandma said, she's really gone now.

The first person to come to the hospital was Irsyad. He was very surprised to read a message from Kila. He went to the hospital after reading it. Kila looks so bad and she still shakes the body of grandma and occasionally hugs him.

Irsyad approached Kila, and pulled her in a deck. Kila becomes increasingly hysterical because she has to stop waking her grandmother.

"Please, Sir. I want to wake up grandma. Grandma hasn't left yet, grandma's just sleeping for a while," said Kila rebelled as she tried to take off the crib. While Irsyad will not lose and get closer to Kila's body.

"Kila, you take a deep breath first. Istighfar and try sincerely. Your grandmother will not be at ease leaving you if you do not accept her departure sincerely. Grandma has been called first with God, which means God loves your grandmother, Kil. You have to give up the departure of grandma sincerely if you love grandma. Already, don't shake Grandma's body again, let the nurse take care of the corpse to be buried immediately." Irsyad uttered a sentence that he hoped would calm Kila down and stop rebelling.

The sentence was powerful, but Kila replaced it by crying hysterically in the arms of Irsyad. Seeing Kila like this, Irsyad's hand by itself rubbed Kila's head to calm her down. Kila leaned her head on Irsyad's shoulder. Irsyad's strokes had started to loose with her hands trying to calm Kila down by rubbing the back of her body in the other hand. Irsyad continued to do that until Kila was completely calm.

The suffering has been over for two weeks. At that time my mother, papa and two friends went straight to Kila's house because the body was already there. Tahlil studies for grandmothers have also been conducted on the third and seventh days. However, at the time of the study, his mother and father could not attend because they had to go back out of town again to finish their work. Kila no longer wanted to fuss about her busy parents, because she wanted to fulfill her grandmother's message to her to be familiar with her parents.

Two weeks have ended, meaning the odd semester break is over. Kila returned to school by eliminating his habit before leaving for school, namely saying goodbye to grandma by kissing her hands and peeping both cheeks of grandma. If you forget that your grandmother is gone, she waits at the dinner table because she usually prepares breakfast for her. Kila was not used to the departure of grandma, even she could not accept it completely. The habit he did with grandma was so inherent that grandma had not yet Kila was still waiting for a grandmother who was not there to fulfill the habit. Kila had gotten used to the presence of grandma, and now she was not used to her departure.

By the time she got to class, her two best friends were waiting at Kila's desk. They wanted to comfort Kila or at least distract Kila from the grief. Just like that, they had prepared bread and drinking water for Kila's breakfast. Not wanting to make his two best friends continue to worry about him, Kila immediately ate their gifts. Before long, smiles on their lips because Kila immediately wanted to eat it. They immediately embraced Kila to share the positive energy they had. Kila also smiled even though it was just a thin smile that she made. "Thank you very much for your support and you are always there for me, you are very good friends" Kila said, replying to their embrace.

Kila waited for Irsyad in the hallway near the musholla. He had not met Irsyad since the seven-day study of her grandmother's death. There are things that Kila has not been able to convey to Irsyad, so he waited for Irsyad to be revealed immediately.

Before long, Irsyad leads to the hallway of the musholla after finishing his work as a teacher. He had previously been asked directly by Kila to go down the aisle near the musholla as he taught in Kila's class.

"Sir, thank you very much for your kindness so far. Thank you also for strengthening me at that time by holding me. Thank you for being the first person who came to hear about my grandmother's death. Thank you for winning me at that time. I don't know what would happen if you didn't come at that time. I would like to thank you for all the good you have done for me so far. Again, thank you very much, sir." Kila reveals everything, then goes running away leaving Irsyad.

Irsyad was delighted by the expression. It is not evasive about the crib he did to Kila. Because, his body just moved when he saw Kila was very bad at that time.
