Husband's Regret: Betrayed for Not Getting Pregnant
Bitter Reality
"Dearly. Son, why are you quiet? Papa's condition, how? Is he okay?" lena with a variety of questions. Raihan did not answer his question, making the middle-aged woman curious.
Just speechless, Raihan daubed a wry smile on his face. He really didn't know what to say because he felt like this was all a dream. A nightmare he never expected before.
"Son, quickly tell me, how is your Papa doing? Is she okay?" Lena reached out her hand forward, touching Raihan's wrist. Increasingly curious about the condition of her husband.
Highlight eyes full of hope makes Raihan can not stand. Want to hide the secret about the departure of Firdaus, but as smart as keeping the carcass then smelled too. Although he kept the harsh reality a day Lena would know if the papa had died.
Take a deep breath, then exhale slowly. Raihan linked his fingers with Lena's fingers, looked at the woman's brown iris with clinging and not forgetting, he gave a special smile to his mother.
"Mom don't worry, Papa also survived the fire incident." It was clear that the hue of happiness was painted on Lena's face when she heard the news about her beloved husband. However, that happiness did not last long when a bitter reality had to be accepted.
"However, dear ... Papa's unstable condition causes all of us to sincerely release Papa's departure for good," said Raihan Lirih like a whirlwind in the autumn, fly dry leaves from tree branches.
Instantly the body of Raihan's biological mother limp. Head shakes quickly. Staring at the handsome figure with eyes of disbelief. "Cannot be. Your father couldn't have left Mama. He must be asleep in the next room. Yeah, right? Tell Mama that everything you say is not true!" he screamed with a crying explosion.
"I hope so too. But what I said was the truth. Papa died this morning and just got buried an hour ago."
Lena kept shaking her head and calling out the name of the husband. "You must be lying! Firdaus cannot die! Your father couldn't have left Mama alone. She ... loves Mama very much, Rai. Your papa loves Mama so much!" He brushed the child's hand violently. The woman's fingers flicked the hospital blanket. However, the sight before his eyes made the woman look perfect.
"This .. is impossible!" lena said softly while staring at her two legs which became the rage of the red jago. "Why did that fire take away the beauty of my crippled feet? Wh why? Was God not content to give me the test of life until the fire struck me and made my legs an easy target?"
Lena's tears kept flowing between the cheeks. The longer the more swift to wet the bed sheet of the hospital. Unable to withstand the grief that befalls. Losing a man who has lived together for decades is a nightmare for the woman. With Firdaus, there have been many twists and turns of the life he lived. The bitter sweetness of the household has been felt when she holds the status as the wife of the former hospital director siri.
Seeing Lena cry makes Raihan can't take it anymore. The man's heart was also broken to pieces when he witnessed for himself how his beloved mother cried in front of him. Truly, he could not see the grief that was afflicting the woman.
Bending a little body. Raihan hugged Lena tightly. Bringing the mother's head in the deck. He rubbed the top of the woman's head while saying, "Sst! It's not good to talk that way, Ma. God only wants to know the extent of your patience in the face of the trials He gave. He wanted to know if Mama was strong through this or not, before lifting Mama's degree."
"But when will God give the test to you? When, son? Until the angel of death took my life, did it?" lena's jolt in Raihan's arms. "Mama is no longer able to accept this ordeal. Mama .. can no longer. Better Mama die, come with your Papa!"
With a quick movement Raihan caught the body of an old Lena who almost fell to the floor. Next to the hand look for the emergency button next to the bed. After that, he pressed the button asking the medics to come into the room.
Raihan is unable to calm Lena alone, because for now he himself needs someone to comfort himself. The departure of Firdaus left a deep sadness for everyone.

After the doctor gave a sedative injection through an infusion hose, Lena's body finally weakened. The woman's eyes were increasingly faint and the gaze became blank.
Lena is conscious. His eyes looked at the hospital sky with a blank look. Tears still fell soaking the face up to the hospital pillow. Raihan stroked the remaining crystal circle using his index finger.
"Don't cry anymore, Ma. I beg you to stop" whispered Raihan. "If Mama cried, Papa up there must be sad to see Mama mourn her loss." Firdaus' youngest son was so loyal to be next to Lena. Although he was devastated by the departure of the papa, but trying to toughen up even though his heart was like being sliced by a sharp knife when he saw with his own eyes the tears continued to flow in the corner of the middle-aged woman's eyes.
"If Mama catches up with Papa, then what about me? Will you let me live alone on this earth? I ... don't want to live a day." Raihan shed tears, unable to hold the crystal details to not fall apart.
The Imam doctor patted Raihan on the shoulder, asking the young lecturer to follow him. "Pak Raihan, currently the psychic Bu Lena is being shaken at the departure of Mr. Firdaus. I ask for cooperation from my father to be able to entertain him. Family support is needed in this situation. Hopefully, Ms. Lena can sincerely accept this reality" said the senior doctor.
The sound of rough breathing comes from Raihan. His chest felt tight when he heard the speech from the Imam doctor related to Lena's current condition. She answered, "Okay, Doctor. I'll try to cheer up Mama. Thank you for your help."
The Priest Doctor smiled faintly. "It's my duty as a doctor." Then, he patted Raihan on the shoulder and said, "Patience, sincerity and trust. Begging God to let it all pass."
