"Come, wipe away your tears. Eliminate all sadness. We both try as much as we can to heal Mr. Nana." Mr. David ignited our spirits. Randi and I clenched our right hands, and our two heads clashed,
"Tos! The spirit!" Our compact voices the same word. Mother Nita and Mr. David smiled, there was no more sadness on the faces of the two. Dian clenched both of her hands. Then he put his two hands on each other. Grandma was still busy wiping her tears, but there was already a smile on her lips.

Sunday morning, Randi and I began to get busy preparing everything related to school. Uniform clothes that we have to prepare for one week, also bags and school books. The lesson schedule for the even semester is already shared in the class group. Usually, on the first day of school, we learn effectively.
"Ran, tomorrow for Mr. Nana's visit to the hospital how? Who's taking us, we're going to school." Randi asked. I haven't talked about this anymore.
"No idea, Ran. I'll let you do it, don't go to school tomorrow?" All I thought about was that. I don't have any other ideas.
"Keep to schedule your next visit, change it up, I'll leave school, okay?" Randi connected my idea. Clop. We agreed. I took my HP. I'll call my helper by phone, ask for permission to not go to school tomorrow.
Just now that my helicopter mother's number was about to click, Nita's mother suddenly said,
"Already, for tomorrow let the same mother who drove Mr. Nana to the hospital. You all go to school tomorrow. The first day of school entry is allowed not to enter?" Me and Randi just looked at each other.
"Later for the next visit, the mother wants to ask the registration officer at the hospital, there is an afternoon visitation schedule or not. If there is, you'll be the ones to deliver."
"Yes, Mom." Almost compact me and Randi replied.

Monday after dawn. Randi and I are getting ready for school.The blue white uniforms we've prepared. For dawn this time, I saw grandma join me as a morning warrior team. Grandma helps mom cook. They're a great team, don't sound like the slightest complaint. In fact, I heard grandma and mom talking very loudly, I don't know what they're talking about. I secretly peeked into Grandma's room. There's a longing to see Mr. Nana. I peeked through the door that opened a little. I see Mr. Nana still sleeping soundly.
"Come, breakfast first." Someone patted my shoulder slowly. Grandma smile. Grandma peeked into her room for a while, then returned to the kitchen. Apparently the grandmother also monitored Mr. Nana still asleep or was awake.
At 06.30. Randi and I had breakfast, we were ready to go to school. We say goodbye to Nita's mother, Mr. David, to my grandmother as well. Mr. Nana looked at us as we kissed Grandma's hand.
"Will. Greetings to Mr. Yuk." Randi nudged my arm. Randi and I approached the father, about to kiss his hand. Nana pulled his hand. Heads shake. As Randi understood, Mr. Nana did not want our hands kissed. But what I do understand is that Mr. Nana doesn't want us to go to school, leave him. I don't know what's right.
"We went to school, sir." We were finally just saying goodbye.
"Dian come, brother?" Dian looked at us expectantly.
"If not now. Later sometime yes, Dian sister invited to look around school sister." Dian nodded. Little disappointed.
"Now Dian also has her own school, right?" Randi tried to cheer up.
"O yes, Brother. Dian is also in school. Just like big brother, dashing. Wear a big bag." Dian demonstrated with his hands. We all laughed.

In school, there are many students present. They mostly are telling this story. I went through a few classes to get to my class. The children in my class were mostly sitting in groups, chatting or just laughing cheerfully. I'm heading for my seat. Rian the friend sitting next to me is also already there.
"Hey, healthy?" I said hello to Rian.
"Alhamdulillah. You?"
"Health is also good."
"Where is the holiday fun? If I'm at home, my mom's sick." Deg, this spontaneous heart beats faster hearing Rian's words. Poor Rian, he must have experienced confusion and worry like I had when Mother Aisyah was sick first.
"What pain?" I'm trying to figure it out.
"No idea."
"The name of the disease does not know. Anyway, my mother often got dizzy, sometimes to the point of dizziness. Two days ago I threw up."
"Well, to the doctor?"
"Yet. My mother is anti-doctor, afraid she said if taken to the doctor. Afraid to get caught sick this and that, even though it feels just dizzy."
"O that's it." I understand Rian's mother's reason. For some people, checking with a doctor is indeed the thing that makes the guts shrivel. The reason could be fear of being found to have a severe disease. So that later, you must continue to take medication, must take a certain medication routine, or other follow-up that is equally dizzy because it has to incur additional costs.
"Then, what kind of medicine does your mother take?"
"Regular, drug stalls. He will heal too, he said."
The doorbell rings. We sat on each other's benches. My guardian, Ms. Min, is coming.
"Assalamu'alaikum children."
"Wa'alaikum Greetings, Ma'am."
"Today we started learning. Do not ask for extended holidays. For the current semester you must be more active in studying, because at the end of this semester you will face the School Exam." That's right said Ms. Min. I need to study more. So that in time, I can graduate from this school with good results.
"Well, now's mom's lesson schedule. Before you start learning, I want to know first about your ideals." We're all quiet. Start thinking about our goals. Not really connected, Ms. Min teaches mathematics, but this time it's about ideals, strange right?
"Among you, anyone aspires to be an entrepreneur?" Five people held hands.
"Okay, great ideals. Tomorrow the day after tomorrow, be an honest businessman. Entrepreneurs who help the little people a lot."
"Then, does anyone want to be a teacher like you?" Two of my friends, Mila and Nanda, raised their hands.
"Alhamdulillah. God willing, being a teacher is a good and noble job. As long as we try to be sincere and responsible for carrying out his duties that are quite heavy."
"Anybody want to be a doctor?" Amir raised his hand.
"Only Amir?" Ms. Min looked at all corners of the class. All the students looked at each other, I could not yet set my goals, because there were still many choices of ideals in my head.
"Come, who else wants to be a doctor?" I don't know what force made my hand rise, I held my hand up. Hearing the word doctor called again by Bu Min, my mind spontaneously remembered to Mr. Nana, to Dian. They are important people in my life who currently need the assistance of a doctor. I also remember the children of the sun. If tomorrow I become a doctor, I hope the children of the sun will be more encouraged to strive hard to achieve their goals. I want my sun brothers to be successful.
"doctor Amir and doctor Wil. I pray you will be a trustworthy doctor, a doctor who is always ready and sincere to help others."
