"If mommy doesn't want to see Chiro again, Chiro doesn't get angry, Uncle. What matters is that mommy's healed. If mommy sleeps, then Chiro huddles to see mommy. Chiro wants nothing, Uncle, just mommy. He said that the prayers of the children of righteousness would be granted, so Chiro wanted to be a righteous child. Chiro will obey all mommy's words."
Chiro wiped his snot.
"Chiro will be diligent school as mommy would. If mommy wants Chiro to become a doctor, Chiro will become a doctor. If mommy wants Chiro to be an engineer, Chiro will be an engineer. Chiro will be whatever mommy wants, the important thing is mommy healed. Hmmm, but Uncle, if mommy wants Chiro to be angry and hate mommy, Chiro can't, Uncle. Chiro can't pretend to be angry and hate mommy. Does that mean Chiro hasn't been a godson yet?"
Ikmal could no longer hold back her tears. He never cried again since he was first grade in SD, whether it was because he fell off his bike, snoring because of playing ball, or anything.
But now, when he was an adult, a little boy made him cry. The son of his friends. Children whose life journey is still long but at this small age have borne a heavy test.
The door to Naya's room opened, Erlang went outside with a red face. Ikmal embraced his best friend, trying to give strength even though he knew the pain felt very painful. Chiro's in Monic's lap. The girl's head rested on Ikmal's shoulders. The three adults sat in line.
Their formation was almost complete, just like a dozen years ago when they were still in Singapore.

"Mommy, Chiro wants mommy operated on ..." said Chiro quietly beside Naya's gurney. His little hand rubbed gently on Naya's forehead.
"Chiro dear mommy."
Chiro continued to say her request slowly. Not wanting to make Naya wake up, because if Naya wakes up, Chiro will run outside so Naya doesn't see her crying.
In his sleep, Naya continued to hear Chiro's request, slowly opening her eyes.
"Yes, mommy wants to be operated on for Chiro."
"Mos ... Mommy ...."
"Chiro don't cry anymore. Mommy promised me surgery."
"I'm sorry Chiro, Mommy."
"No. Mommy apologizes for making Chiro cry. Forgive this naughty mommy, don't beat up daddy, okay?" Naya chuckled softly.
Right now in the room, everything is gathering. Erlang approached Naya and Chiro, hugged the two and kissed Chiro and Naya on the forehead.

After the family and doctors discussed, they decided that the surgery would be carried out tomorrow morning. The team in charge was chosen the best in their respective fields.
Tonight they were all gathered inside Naya's room.
A mantri came, while carrying a stroller on top of the scissors.
"Are you ready, Doctor Naya?"
Naya nodded.
The mantri then took the scissors and approached Naya.
"Wait, would you like to be flanked by mommy Chiro?"
"Mommy's hair should be dibotakin, Chiro," explained Naya.
"In ... dibotakin?" tanya Chiro shook.
Naya nodded with a smile.
"Just chiro!"
Chiro immediately took out a glass box that contained a paper plane that she had made, which was actually the longing letters she had written to her mommy when they had not met before.
The planes were taken out, then cleaned the glass box with wipes and cleaners, then sprayed with perfume.
Chiro sat down behind Naya. She combed Naya's long hair carefully. Naya's hair from behind. Those little fingers rubbed Naya's hair.
After being satisfied combing from head to head, Chiro then took the scissors.
Sret
A handful of hair has Chiro scissors. The long, black and fine hair was detached from the owner. Chiro grasped the haircut, kissed it tenderly, then imitated it in a glass box.
Chiro's tears trickled down, as did Erlang and the others. Even the mantri that still exists in dibsana oun, can not resist this novelty.
Sret
Again, he took a handful of Naya's hair, then did the same thing, kissed her.
If he could, Chiro wanted to smell the strands after strands of detached hair.
Chiro bit her lips, even smothered her mouth, so that there was no sobbing to the outside, a cry that her mommy did not want to hear.
After the third cut, Chiro put down the scissors. Hugging Naya from behind, dipping Naya's head which was partially bald.
Nuna hugged Ikmal, drowning her face in the chest of the man's field.
Nania did the same thing to Marcell.
Kirei on Marva.
Mom on papa
Anya and Vanya are hugging
Mommy on daddy
Oma on opa
Grandpa on grandma
Jasmine on Evan
Only Erlang held him back alone. His hands clenched, resisting the indescribable roar.
"Now daddy, Chiro."
Chiro shifted, her head now laid in Naya's lap.
"Don't cry, Mommy!"
Erlang's hand shook as he held the scissors.
O God, give the opportunity for this beautiful hair can be extended again.
The first cut that Erlang did, was recorded as deep as possible in his memory. Inhaled her deep scent of hair that she really likes. She brushed Naya's hair with her fingers.
“Tahu rich like this, from the first I should model my hair all kinds, huh? Braided, bun, clamped.”
Naya pursed her lips, as a diversion of her grief. Not sad because his hair was cut to balding, but because he had to see his loved ones holding back tears, covering their grief, so as not to make him sadder. Of course he knew they were crying. Even he could feel the tears of Chiro and Erlang wetting his head and back.
Naya's hand rubbed the head of Chiro who was still sleeping in her lap. The child's face was facing Naya's stomach, drowning her face as much as possible and biting her lips deeply, lest her body tremble.
Erlang kept Naya's haircut regularly in the box.
Nuna and the others asked for rations. After all of Naya's hair was cut, Erlang took a shaver.
“Wah, I look rich Tuyul, yes?” Naya giggles.
Chiro immediately woke up from Naya's lap. He closed the glass box full of Naya's hair and carefully stored it on the table.
“Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!”
“Ya, Chiro?”
“Chiro also wants to be dibotakin like mommy. Come fast Daddy, fast botakin head Chiro!”
“Oke.”
“Where is Daddy's handkerchief?”
Erlang took out his handkerchief from inside his pants pocket.
“This keeps Chiro's hair,” said the boy.
Erlang then started to smack Chiro's head, and it didn't take long.
“Yeeyy, now the head of Chiro is equally rich mommy. Mommy, Mommy!”
“Ya?”
“Chiro Rich Tuyul not, Mom?”
“No dong, Chiro is always handsome, willing as any appearance Chiro.”
“Mommy too, for Chiro Mommy is always as beautiful as any Mommy looks. Long, short, bald. Mommy is the best mother. I love you, Mommy!”
Naya immediately hugged Chiro and gave a kiss on the entire area of the child's face.
Anyone knows, that the child's affection is limitless. A child who loved her mommy.
“Daddy also want dong, Chiro, cut daddy.” hair
Chiro immediately prancing pleasure.
Erlang's head is now bald, but still looks handsome. Fortunately, the shape of his head is good, so it does not look strange after being dibotakin like that.
As a form of solidarity, others also cut their hair. If the man is dibotakin, the woman is dibondolin, which will later be smoothed in the salon.
”Ah, it's a pity that I have signed a contract for shampoo advertising. After filming the commercial later, I will also cut my hair. Long hair also often makes sultry, especially if you have to shoot outdoors,” said Anya, her brother Naya and Vanya.
Naya felt overwhelmed by their care. His eyes looked at the glass box that contained his hair. Chiro treated the thing as if it was a treasure chest.
“Mommy, Chiro promises, as long as Mommy's hair hasn't grown, Chiro will also always be bald.”
Naya's tears came back. He never expected, the child he had left when he was a few months old, was very fond of him.
Let the hairs be witnesses and proofs of my son's sincerity. If I am still given a chance to live, then my hair that will lengthen will also bear witness to my new story. I will live my new life, no more burden. Yes, if I were still given a chance to stay alive ....
