Centil Mas Adi's
Joseph Has a Bloody Fever

After performing the ashar salat, Caca decided to cook. Caca believes the cuisine can be delicious, as good as mother-in-law's cooking.

While Adi was at Pak Lurah's house because there was a gathering between the heads of the family. While waiting for her husband to come home, Caca hurriedly prepared the ingredients she used for cooking.

Caca's focus on cooking was quite disturbed because at that time Joseph was quite fussy. Maybe because of the condition of Joseph's body that is not healthy.

“Dear baby, Yusuf want to sleep? Want to drink milk? Just be brave, baby. Mother cut this corn first,” said Caca.

Just one lump of corn that Caca finished separating, suddenly Joseph cried quite loudly. At that time Caca left her job and carried her baby to the room with her baby Joseph.

“Yusuf darling, get well quickly son! If Joseph is still sick mother and father will take Joseph to the doctor,”ucap Caca on his baby.

Jampir 1 hour Caca breastfeeding her baby. But her baby did not go to sleep as well and was even more fussy because worried about the condition of Joseph, Caca also contacted her husband and asked her husband to go home immediately.

After Adi arrived, Caca ordered a car online. To drive them to the hospital, Adi and Caca hope that Joseph's illness is just a fever and does not last long.

“Mas why yes Yusuf is still fussy even though Caca has breastfed Yusuf properly,” said Caca who was holding Yusuf on the porch seat of the house while waiting for the car to come pick them up.

Patience Yes Darling God willing Yusuf is fine,” Adi said trying to calm his wife, although in fact Adi is also equally worried.

The car Caca ordered finally came. Adi and Caca got into the car.

On the way to the hospital, Joseph continued to cry incessantly. Even Joseph seemed to rebel did not want to be touched by anyone including his own mother.

Caca tried to keep Joseph from weeping and when Caca broke the prayer, Joseph kept quiet.

“Allahumma sholli ala sayyidina muhammad wa ala ali sayyidina muhammad.”

Joseph finally fell asleep hearing that his parents were together.

Hospitals.

Arriving at the hospital, Yusuf was immediately treated by Pediatrician.

“ Doc, please heal our son, Doc. I beg you to heal baby kam!” caca Pinta.

“Mbak calm yes I will try to cure baby Mbak and Mas,” replied Doctor named Maya.

A few moments later.

The doctor came out of the special room of the child and after doing a DHF test, it was confirmed that Baby Yusuf was exposed to DHF disease caused by a virus from the Aedes aegypti mosquito.

“Yes Allah Mas, how is this? Because Caca who had fallen on Joseph became sick like this. Caca feels very guilty and Caca is not at all good at being a mother,” said Caca blamed himself for what had happened to their baby.

“Caca dear istighfar a lot. This isn't all your fault. Caca has done his best and Mas does not want Caca to blame himself Caca because Joseph is sick like this, we should just pray a lot for help from God,” said Adi at length.

Caca bowed quietly and expanded the istighfar so that his heart became calm. Caca could not bear if a baby as small as Joseph was sick.

“Caca dear, let's go to the Mosque. It's time to pray!” take Adi who looks very calm.

“Mas! Our baby is sick, why does Mas look so calm? Not worried about Yusuf?” asked Caca who was astonished by her husband's calm demeanor.

“Do you have to act like a madman? Joseph is sick, dear Caca. As a parent, of course I'm worried. However, we should not worry too much either. Come on, it would be better if we go to Masjid!”

Adi embraces his small wife's waist while walking towards the mosque which is located approximately 200 AD from the hospital.

“Mas, do I need Mom, Papa and Kaka told?” ask Caca.

“For the moment we don't tell them yes dear. We pray that Joseph will soon be healed,” replied Caca.

“Iya Mas's. Thank you for being patient with Caca's attitude that is still unstable. And Caca also apologizes for Caca's remarks that might upset Mas Adi,” Caca said.

“Even if Mas never feel annoyed with Caca. So, Caca don't think no. Okay!!”

They did not feel like they were in front of the mosque. Caca runs south and Adi runs north.

After the prayer, they re-assembled in front of the Mosque and walked in tandem to the Hospital.

The two of them walked by holding hands and quite a number of people were watching the couple.

“Mas, does Mas feel that we are currently paying attention?” ask Caca.

Adi gave a small laugh and agreed.

“Mas even realized it when he got out of the hospital earlier,” Adi replied casually.

“About what's wrong with us huh Mas? Caca was quite uneasy with their gaze,” bright Caca.

“Already. Don't think about it anymore. Let them see us in their own eyes. Most importantly, we love each other,” concluded Adi.

They finally arrive at the little boy's room and Caca asks the Doctor to move Joseph to the VIP room. A room where there were no other children, except Joseph.

The doctor granted and rushed Joseph to the VIP room.

“Caca darling, Caca better accompany Yusuf here. Mas will go home to take the needs of both of you,” said Adi.

“Mas be careful yes, Caca will wait for Mas in sibu,” reply Caca.

At 01.35 WIB.

For the umpteenth time, Joseph woke up again from his sleep and was also very fussy. Caca could not even sleep because of Joseph who was so fussy. Even so, Caca tried to remain patient to face his baby.

Seeing his wife who continues to be busy, makes Adi feel sorry and asks his wife to sit quietly and let Adi take care of their baby.

“Mas has not healed completely. Mas better rest and let Caca take care of Joseph,” said Caca who does not want to make her husband hassles.

“Alright, Caca will sit here,” concluded Caca and sit on the mat that her husband had previously brought from home.

Adi slowly approached Joseph who was still fussy and sholawat near Joseph's ear.

Joseph calmed down again and went back to sleep with a needle stuck in the back of his tiny hand.

Adi continued to pray so that Joseph could sleep well so that the wife did not think much because of the thought of Joseph who continued to fuss.

Caca breathed a little because Joseph could sleep soundly with the help of his beloved husband.

then Caca lay on the mat and finally fell asleep exhausted. Seeing the wife sleeping in a state of anxiety makes Adi sad. Adi is very sorry for his little wife because the exam just keeps coming and going.

“Good sleep my wife, ”ucap Adi and give a soft kiss on the forehead of her sleeping little wife.

After that Adi sat on the sofa, while continuing to watch his baby who was asleep in the hospital bed.

“Yes Allah please make Joseph and his wife sleep soundly tonight amen o Allah,” muttered Adi pray to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

Adi then tries to close his eyes and hopes he can sleep even if only briefly.

When Adi just fell asleep Caca woke up and moved to the sofa.

“Sweetie why wake up?”ask Adi who apparently has not fully slept.

“Caca woke up wanting to move and could sleep in Mas Adi's arms answered Caca while hugging her husband.

Caca asked her husband to go to teach. Caca did not want her husband labeled as a teacher who likes permission not to go to school. Although Caca actually understands that Adi wants to always be on the side of their baby, but Caca and Adi should not be selfish. Adi must remain responsible with his profession as a teacher.

“Caca dear, if Mas went to school today what about Caca and Yusuf?” tanya Adi is worried about being very heavy if she has to leave two people who are very meaningful in her life.

“Mas calm down, didn't Mas often say that to Caca? However, we must remain calm, therefore, today Mas must go to school. Caca did not want Mas labeled as an irresponsible teacher,” Caca replied while hugging her husband.

“Good Mas will soon be home to change clothes and after returning from school Mas will be here soon, accompanying you both. Whatever Happened Caca must not panic. Joseph. Our baby, will definitely be cured Caca believe right?” asked Adi with a attentive look.

“Iya Mas Caca believes it is better now Mas go home. Caca dear and love Mas Adi. Whatever it is, we can certainly go through this all thanks for being a husband and father who is understanding and affectionate to us,” explained Caca.

“It is precisely mas who is very lucky to have you both. Thanks to you guys I feel that life is really special. You are the most beautiful gift that God gave to us. Thank you Caca, sorry your husband has a lot of shortcomings,” concluded Adi and softly kissed Caca's forehead.

Caca could not hide his sadness, at that moment also tightened his embrace and thanked his First Love.

“I love you...”ucap Caca lirih.

“I love you too my wife,” reply Adi.

Adi also asked his wife to order an ojek online and after successfully ordering the ojek online, Adi pampit went and waited for his invitation in front of the hospital.

2 Hours later.

In school there is a lot of daydreaming about the state of his little baby who is only 7 months old. Adi felt that time was spinning very slowly even Adi felt that time in the world seemed to stop.

“Pak Adi why did I notice from earlier Pak Adi dream a lot? Like daydreaming something very heavy” asked Kevin curious.

“My baby is sick Mr. Kevin. Now that Yusuf is being treated in hospital for dengue fever,” Adi replied with teary eyes.

Kevin suggested that Adi go home early. Adi actually wanted to, but he could not do it he had to be professional and hoped Joseph would improve soon.

“Pak Adi who is patient, Insha Allah Joseph will soon be healed. Remember Mr. Adi also had a very fatal accident,” said Kevin while patting Adi's back.

“Yes Mr Kevin. Thank God God still gives me the opportunity to get together again with my small family and I believe that Joseph can recover from the dengue fever,” Adi replied with confidence.

Kevin smiled and left because he had to finish his job. Adi agreed and refocused on examining the answers of his students.

Afternoon.

“Assalamualaikum,” said Adi while walking in to Caca who was crying while tightly grasping the tiny hands of their little baby.

“Waalaikumsalam,” replied Caca Lirih who sounded helpless.

“Caca has eaten yet This Mas bring food for Caca Caca should eat even though only a few spoons,” Adi said.

“Caca has absolutely no lust. Caca does not want to eat, just leave it like this,” reply Caca who refused to eat.

“How about Caca get sick? Who will strengthen you? We need to strengthen each other, baby. Come now eat if Caca does not want to eat Mas will not eat,” stressed Adi forced his little wife to eat.
