Centil Mas Adi's
Crying Together

Caca kissed Joseph's chubby cheek guiltily, fearing that he would even ignore his little baby.

“Force Mother yes dear, Mother does not mean to ignore Joseph. Yusuf drinks milk yes,” said Caca breastfeeding her baby.

Caca breastfed her baby quietly and it didn't take long for Joseph to fall asleep.

Caca tried to remain calm while looking outwards while continuing to ask for protection from Allah SWT.

“Honey, chew this gum. This gum can slightly reduce stress,” said Mama Ismia while giving candy strawberry flavor.

Mother Puspita's phone rang and hurriedly Mother of Adi read the message.

“What's up, Ma'am?” mama Ismia asked curiously when she saw the surprised expression of her besi.

“Nothing, Ma'am,” replied Ms. Puspita while refraining from crying.

The message Puspita's mother had just read was a message from her husband telling her Adi's critical condition. In fact, most likely his biological son did not survive because of the loss of a lot of blood and suffered fractures in both hands and left leg.

Puspita's mother deliberately did not tell Adi's true condition to them. Better, they know it when they get to the hospital.

“Mother is okay?” ask Caca curiously.

“It's okay, son Caca. You do not need to worry,” replied Ibu Puspita while smiling.

****

Hospitals.

Papa Rio, Mama Ismia, Ibu Puspita and Caca have arrived in front of the ICU room.

“What is this? Why the ICU? What really happened to Mas Adi!” Caca screamed hysterically after just learning that her husband was being treated in the ICU room.

At that time Joseph was in the arms of his beloved Grandmother and not in the arms of Caca.

“Mas, what is this really? Why was Adi treated in the ICU? Isn't this room caring for critical patients?” papa Rio asked Faizal's father.

Mr. Fattah who was among them chose to go home. After all, everyone had gathered to wait for the next news from Adi.

“Sorry everyone, I have to excuse you. Everyone, please be patient. Me and my family at home will pray'akan Mas Adi so that they can recover soon,” said Mr. Fattah.

Mr. Fattah also said his greetings before leaving and rushed away from the hospital.

“Mas, don't hide about Adi. We also need to know!” pa Faizal's Pinta.

Slowly Faizal's father's tears rolled down his cheeks and was sitting limp in the hospital seat.

Seeing her father-in-law crying, Caca suddenly thought negatively about her husband's condition.

“Dad, what's wrong with Mas Adi?” ask Caca.

“Adi, now his condition is very critical. Both of his hands were broken and his left leg was broken. In addition, Adi lost a lot of blood as a result of the accident,” Faizal's father said.

Caca who stood up, immediately drooped limp. Mama Ismia quickly grabbed the body of her biological daughter and hugged her tightly.

“Mas, please tell me the chronology of the incident. Does Mas know?” asked Papa Rio curiously. Of course with a sad heart.

“I do not know the exact chronology, because Mr. Fattah also only heard from one of the witnesses who saw the incident. In essence, Adi was hit by a speeding truck and the truck driver just ran away,” Faizal's father replied.

With the power that Papa Rio had, of course he could use his acquaintances to catch the truck driver. Papa Rio will of course give a fair reward for what the truck driver has done.

“Mas Faizal doesn't need to think about that irresponsible truck driver. Tonight also the driver will be caught and can not escape,” stressed Papa Rio while removing his cellphone to contact the police.

Papa Rio shifted away and clearly was talking about the accident problem experienced by his favorite son-in-law.

“Mama, Mas Adi in there is fine, right?” ask Caca confusedly.

“See Mama now! Caca, quickly see Mama now!” mama Ismia orders Caca to look at her.

With a hiccup Caca looked straight at Mama Ismia.

“Caca who knows Adi better. Is Caca's husband a weak man? Sports teachers must be strong and must not be weak. If Caca continues like this, what about Adi and Yusuf?” mama Ismia asked loudly.

Caca regained her composure and was quite certain that her husband was a strong man.

“Before Maghrib, let's find a mosque!” bring Papa Rio.

Caca who is coming the month, can only follow where the parents go.

Upon arrival at the mosque, there is a room that says specifically Mother and child.

“Caca dear, you wait in that room yes. We want to pray maghrib first,” said Mama Ismia.

Slowly Caca entered the room and it turned out there were several pregnant women and small children.

Caca decided to lean on the edge of the wall while breastfeeding Joseph's baby.

Caca suddenly thought of her husband's situation, she cried while continuing to breastfeed Joseph.

“Mbak, here I have a tissue,” said a woman while giving a packet of medium-sized tissue.

“Thank you, Ma'am.” Caca thanked him while smiling faintly.

The woman who gave the tissue agreed and went back to where it was, without wanting to ask the reason why Caca was crying.

A Few Moments Later.

Parents perform maghrib prayers and also prayers in the mosque. They certainly don't want wara-wiri to remember Caca who had a baby.

After performing the Islamic prayer, Mama Ismia picked up Caca in the Mother and child's room.

“Cac dear,” said Mama Ismia when she saw Caca who was crying in the corner of the wall.

Mama Ismia ran small to immediately hug her beloved daughter.

“Mama, why is it so heavy to look calm? Joseph was very small, Ma. Caca was afraid that God would love Mas Adi more and take Mas Adi away. How is our fate, Ma?” ask Caca sniffling.

Mama Ismia finally joined in crying, bodo' with the gaze of the people in the room. The mother and son cried together because of Adi's very critical condition.

Mother Puspita followed the two because they did not come out of the room Mother and Son.

“Dad, Mas Rio. Excuse me to follow Mbak Ismia and also Caca,” said Ibu Puspita following besan and also his son-in-law.

When Mother Puspita opened the door, her heart was very sliced to see how besan and her daughter-in-law cried together and hugged each other.

Puspita's mother paused her steps to approach the two and instead cried at the door.

Puspita's mother cried sitting right at the door, she cried bitterly and hoped Adi could get well soon.

About 30 minutes later, Caca and Mama Ismia walked out of the room.

“Mbak Puspita, why sit here?” asked Mama Ismia who was holding her first grandchild.

The three of them looked at each other with eyes swollen side effects from crying.

Papa Rio and Father Faizal from a distance had previously seen that Mother Puspita was crying on the doorstep. But they pretend to look okay. In their hearts there was a deep sadness.

“Sorry, we came a long time,” said Ms. Puspita.

“It's okay, let's go to the hospital again,” Faizal's father said.

Mama Ismia and Mama Puspita walk between Caca. They try to strengthen each other to face the test that really drains the tears and the mind.

“Dok, how about my daughter-in-law?” asked Papa Rio who had just arrived in front of the ICU room and happened to be a male Doctor coming out of the room.

“Sorry, we have not been able to confirm Mr. Adi's condition. However, for now Mr. Adi is still in a critical condition. We also lack blood stock, is there any family blood type B?” ask a doctor named Jefry.

“My blood type B, Doc. My class and Adi are the same,” said Ibu Puspita.

“Then, Mom come with me right now!” doctor Jeffery's Pinta.

Puspita's mother with big steps walked following the Doctor to do a medical examination first.

“Papa going to where?” ask Mama Ismia.

“Papa's blood is also B, maybe Papa can help,” replied Papa Rio and ran small chasing Doctor Jefry and Ibu Puspita.

Caca did not say much, his strength was completely drained and could no longer stand up from his seat.

Faizal's father got up from his seat and excused him to buy food. Because they had not eaten anything in the afternoon.

Caca certainly should not be selfish, even though he is not hungry. However, Joseph's baby needed breast milk so Caca had to fill his stomach with food.

“Dad, please buy Caca food,” said Caca in a very soft voice.

“Iya Caca, Dad will buy food for all of us,” Father Faizal replied.

Both Caca and Mama Ismia thanked Faizal's father. Faizal's father agreed and rushed to find food to fill their stomachs.

“Caca is now sitting quietly, earlier when we were all praying. We ask Allah that Adi be given the opportunity to live. God willing Caca's husband is healed. Man jadda wajada,” concluded Mama Ismia.

“That who means it, surely he will get it. And may God grant our do'a earnestness for the healing of Mas Adi,” Caca said.

“Aamiin Allahumma aamiin,” Reply Mama Ismia.
