As already said this morning, this afternoon Zafira ushered his mother to seek treatment for some reason his heart was always pounding when it came to his mother.

''can not Ra, if not let the anter mas'' asked mas puji

''let usher mas praise Ra, you are home'' said Ms Nisa

''yeah ma'am, be careful''

After Bu Nisa and mas puji already invisible Zafira entered and saw the phone that he had cueki from yesterday, of course many messages and spam from his friends

Zafira replied to a chat asking Why he did not go to school yesterday and others, in fact he was determined not to leave his mother when he was sick even if only for a few hours.

He remembered how his mother took care of him when he was sick, even though his mother did not leave him if it was not urgent.

While still there, Zafira will keep him not regret later on because it neglects his duty to serve parents, especially a mother.

.

Already several times to seek treatment Bu Nisa has not returned fit he still often complains of dizziness and so forth, a few days ago bulek bint visit after being told by mas puji.

Now every night I praise to sleep at Zafira's house, today Ms. Nisa has gone from the previous day because she has been sick for almost 10 days.

This morning Bu Nisa was also visited by Bu Retno and Bude Sri, was offered what to bring by Bude Sri if tomorrow he came again and Bu Nisa replied to buy soy milk.

It is with pleasure of course bude Sri welcomed it because it is rare and Bu Nisa does not like soy milk.

In the afternoon Ms. Nisa was checked by Zafir's friend to make sure her sugar and blood were stable or not.

Shortly after magrib mbak Lika resigned, after checking Bu Nisa only her high tension so it is advisable not to think about heavy things.

''do you have an old coconut to make you want to? just buy the same bread fried peanuts'' bargain Zafira

''no need, mother will make Energen only tomorrow if you want to make papa''

''yes, I want to eat kah buk''

''still full nduk''

Before long Bude Warsi, mas Iyan, mas ridho and husband bude Warsi have been home Zafira, they are like family

''Did you eat mbak?'' ask pakde Masran

''already kang'' (kang can also be interpreted as mas ya)

''holiday''

''you usually have no day without learning, Ndak kakah kakanganmu maless'' said mas Ridho as insinuation to the Iyan

''halahh mas emang innate'' joked Zafira

Canda laughter filled the house of Zafira plus the presence of mas Puji be a complete joke that was thrown.

Mas yes decided to invite Zafira out to buy snacks because yes laper he said his turn was told to eat would not.

After the exit of the choice they fell into the slumbers martabak, and so they ordered two packs considering the many people at home.

Because the day is getting night bude Warsi and his family say goodbye, In the heart of fact bude Warsi really want to sleep here accompany Bu Nisa and Zafira but what power pakde Masran is coughing up a cold.

After the return of the Warsi bude, Bu Nisa was also asked by Zafira and praised mas to immediately sleep, before he asked to be made by Energen.

Zafira and mas puji are both not asleep yet somehow Zafira feels strange to him.

''i why yes mas, from yesterday-yesterday if you want to sleep or ninggalin ibitu like afraid, was-was innan when yes had been a prayer as well'' confided Zafira, p, hearing that, I immediately thought the same thing when her mother was about to leave two years ago. Exactly the same as Zafira feels today, but because he does not want his nephew to think he prefers to entertain him only.

''you don't have to think, at most you are often overtinging that, really it's overtinging his name''

''But my feelings are really not good mas''

''shutt teng gadah Allah's plan sits on you'' (who has God's plan not yours)

Zafira did not sleep last night as well as praise, where maybe he fell asleep while Zafira did not close his eyes at all.

At half-time 3 am Ms. Nisa woke up again and asked Energen back, in Zafira's mind maybe Bu Nisa was hungry because indeed from the afternoon only ate a little.

"bobok o ra, ibuk let me praise you" said Bu Nisa

"praise you also haven't slept buk let you sleep first"

"no ra, you're Ndang sleeping there"

Inevitably Zafira sleeps because his eyes are already sleepy, he sleeps next to his mother but is still a distance away. Seeing Zafira who had closed Bu Nisa's eyes also closed her eyes.

Soon without realizing it, he said the shahadah and the new praises realized when Bu Nisa finished reading the shahadah in the state of his closed eyes.

An unpleasant feeling arose instantly, immediately the praise came closer and took hold of the hand of Miss Nisa, leading her to recite God.

"Allah bulek, god is like that" Continue to praise Bu Nisa, Zafira who listened faintly to the voice of the laudation opened her eyes even though her life had not been fully collected.

"Ra callno pakde Marsan tell me to come here" Zafira said and was not afraid of anything because he had just woken up, but he walked a little hastily because the praise said earlier in a vibrating voice.

"bude, bude war open bude" mas Iyan who opened the door immediately followed by mas Ridho

"why why Ra"

"be told to praise the house of the same bude" Without ba-bi-bu mas ridho immediately ran and Iyan woke up his mother and father.

Zafira's mind was still not connected, he followed behind Mas Ridho after reaching home and went straight to the room shortly followed by Masran pakde who immediately approached.

Zafira stood watching everything in front of the door, Mr. Masran checked Bu Nisa's pulse until he said

"nisa's mother is no more"
