LAILA TO KANG ROHIM
EPISODE 43 The Sadness of Abah Ucup.

Day change day. It does not feel the age of Laila's womb has entered nine months. The village midwife where she often checks on the condition of her fetus says that in these weeks she will give birth.

That morning, Laila was cooking rice in the kitchen. He uses an oil stove. Rohim has gone to the field. As he was about to lift his rice pot down from the stove. He listened to the sound of a motorcycle. She quickly took the veil she had hung behind the door.

It was Abah Ucup who came. The father of Laila looked happy and slightly ran towards Laila's house. The man brought a newspaper. He picked up the newspaper and went into Laila's house, greeting her.

"You Passed Nduk. You Passed Nduk!" Shouted Abah Ucup at Laila who was still confused.

Laila opened the newspaper that Abah Ucup had handed to her. He read in the passage that Abah Ucup pointed to. His name is in that newspaper. In fact he entered in the top ten of the highest value of one county. Laila said hamdalah and tasbih after reading the announcement.

"That means you're PNS Nduk?" Abah Ucup asked excitedly.

"But Bah. There are still some processes. Interviews and files if Bah passes." Answer Laila.

"So I'll go home first. Abah wants to tell your mother." Abah Ucup immediately went out and headed for the bike.

But when he was about to start his bike. Laila who quickly followed Abah Ucup said if he would legalize his SD, Junior High School and diploma. He did not know if his diploma had been burned by Waroh.

Abah Ucup was silent for a moment. His facial expression changed quite a bit. But he still remained calm.

"Let's let Abah interven. You just rest. Rohim said you are waiting for the day of birth." Abah Ucup said quickly.

Laila nodded slowly. Abah Ucup came home very slowly. He rode his bike very slowly. His mind is not bad. He was confused as to what to say to Laila. If honest now, he does not want to give bad news when happy news comes. Laila was also still waiting for the birth of her baby.

When you get home. Abah Ucup quickly took a shower and immediately changed clothes with clothes that were quite neat. He's going to the old elementary school where Laila went to school. He wants to ask questions and ask for solutions to the problems he is facing. At home there are no photocopies of Laila's diploma.

Ms. Salamah was confused because that morning, Abah Ucup was very neat.

"Where are you going Bah?" Tanya Bu Salamah was curious.

"You go to SD." Abah answered while sipping his coffee.

He poured his coffee into a small plate so that he could immediately enjoy it because he was in a hurry.

"Ngapain Bah?" back, Salamah asked.

"You can't make a new diploma for Laila." Speak quickly Abah.

"......" Salamah is confused.

"This is Laila passing this stage. Well the next stage he needs his SD-SMA diploma." Abah Ucup said slowly.

Abah Ucup's face looked sad. Salamah was sitting next to Abah Ucup. He also saw a newspaper on the table. Sure enough in the newspaper the name Laila was in fifth place. Of the 300 people who graduated.

Bu Salamah sighed heavily.

"Hhhhh..... How do you like the suffering, Bah?" Said Mrs Salamah slowly.

"Yes, Abah left first. Laila must not know that all her diplomas have been burned. Abah will try to find a solution." Abah Ucup hastily left home.

Abah Ucup went to school. He also said the truth. Then he needs a certificate of loss and report to the district education office for a burning diploma.

But at noon, Abah Ucup was made to shed tears because what he knew.the process of making a change diploma could not be fast. Unless it takes time. He saw in the newspaper that the end of the month when the requested file was sent back to the recruitment committee of the PNS.

"Oh Allah..What will I say to Laila?" Tears were dripping down those no longer-toned cheeks.

Abah Ucup is desperate. He already feels sad because to take care of the SD diploma just so. let alone the Junior High School diploma and its youngest. He also thought about the condition of Laila who is now busy preparing for the birth of her baby.

That afternoon Abah Ucup came home feeling sad. When sitting in the front room. Mrs Salamah had prepared the coffee and gave it to Abah Ucup.

"Drink first Bah." Said Mrs Salamah slowly.

Abah Ucup's wife already knew the results of her husband's efforts. Because the moody face of Abah Ucup is clearly visible even a cup of coffee was not able to make Abah Ucup glance or sip Abah Ucup's favorite drink.

"Doubt it, bah?" Ask Bu Salamah.

Abah Ucup was silent. He took off his shirt. Shortly heard the sound of the Waroh motorbike. Abah Ucup's eldest daughter just came home from a sewing exam. He will get a certificate of sewing course and will get the capital to open a sewing business from BLK.

Abah Ucup who saw his eldest daughter coming home. Back ignited the emotions of the father of two children

"It's all because of you! Try if you didn't burn your sister's diploma. Maybe your sister will become an officer!" Bentak Abah Ucup.

Waroh who just came home and just stepped foot into the house, immediately turned to look towards Abah Ucup. He could hear what Abah Ucup was saying.

"Always Laila! Laila! Laila and Laila!" Waroh was full of emotion too.

Waroh went into his room. He slammed the door of his room.

"Braaaka!"

"Hiks... Hix... Abah outrageous."

Waroh put down a plastic bag containing a man's batik shirt. He sewed clothes for Abah Ucup. During the exam, he accidentally took the size of Abah Ucup's shirt. He wanted to show Abah Ucup that he also had intelligence or expertise.

But he had not had time to show the results of his sewing or his first work on Abah Ucup. The man had already scolded her and returned the name Laila which made Waroh's heart hot. It was always Laila that Abah Ucup noticed and thought about. Waroh is feeling hurt. He felt disappointed. Though he has started to feel a little good with Laila because the sister continues to treat herself kindly and lovingly.

Even his sister often sends him a voucher for his cell phone. So that he can send a message with his lover named Firman.

Waroh was still crying by slapping his face on both knees. At the Laila residence, a woman who had just returned from the mosque, had to try to calm her heart. Because there's a lot of fluid coming out.

"Astaghfirullah's... Mommy...." Laila's voice was slow.

The new Rohim wants to change his clothes with a shirt. He quickly went to the kitchen. And he saw that there was a lot of fluid at the wife's feet.

"You want to give birth?" Rohim asked in a bit of panic.
