In Jakarta, Rini is getting restless. It's been a week since her husband, Hamdan, has been unconscious. Many times the police came to observe Hamdan's development. Time and time again, the police officer met Rini. Of course ask about the development of her husband. Of course Rini is sad. Not just thinking about her husband who is still lying and unconscious. I am tired of sleeping in the hospital every day. It was like leaving her husband, to go home, just wanting to lay herself in the room. But worry, in case called by nurses, doctors or the hospital. So, despite being tired and very sad, Rini still strengthened herself to take care of her husband.
At high hour, that morning, the hospital atmosphere was quite crowded by the people who visited, swishing his sick family. And certainly not a few neighbors, friends or friends who also come to visit.
But for the ICU room, not all visitors can enter. Even if you want to swipe, usually only allowed to enter one by one, alternately. Of course, this is done to maintain the comfort of patients in the ICU room. There are even patients who should not be swiped because of certain conditions.
Rini went into the ICU. Of course to see the condition of her husband. Because even though guard, Rini can only enter during the visiting hours. So at that time, Rini was in the ICU room to wait for her husband directly. Not in the waiting room.
On that occasion, Rini can stroke her husband's face, leaving her hair aside, even styling her husband's hands and feet, even though she never moves at all. And the most missed, grasping the fingers of her husband, then squeezing and pressing as hard as possible. Of course at that moment, Rini immediately shed tears. She recalled how her husband had never been angry with her during the marriage. But because of the female actors, the household Rini became disbanded. Everything's changing. Hamdan became grumpy, always blaming his wife. And finally, the rift caused the destruction of the Hamdan family.
Again, Rini cried. Especially if you do not cry over the destruction of your home. And at this moment, her husband was lying helplessly, even already unable to do anything, unconscious for more than a week. It's all because of that wicked woman.
Rini stroked her husband's face with her soft hands. Rini's heart tastes like it's sliced. Sad to see her husband's withered face, overgrown with whiskers and unwelcome bewok. While still working, her husband always looks clean, without a mustache and not a brewokan. Every day must be shaved. Never look rough with whiskers or bewok. Once upon a time when he was young, Hamdan tried to keep a mustache, protested by Rini. Said Rini, if nyium makes sick, rough and unpleasant. Hence, Hamdan kept trying to shave his mustache and beard. Even the hair is never too long. Anyway, her husband's appearance was always neat. That's what Rini likes her husband.
But now, a week unconscious, lying in a hospital bed, Hamdan's good looks seemed to disappear. Lost with appearance. A bad mustache, and a messy beard. And of course, the hair that grows is not the mermuan, the color is already on whitening.
Rini stepped towards the table of the sisters guarding the ICU. Then he said, "Suster, can you ask for help, tomorrow if you clean my husband, please have the same mustache with the beard scraped away" said Rini asked for help to the nurse in the ICU room.
"Yes, Mother .., tomorrow I will pass it on to the one who is on duty." replied the nurse.
"Thank you, Sister" said Rini, who was waiting for her husband.
The drivers entering the ICU room are getting crowded. Exit in turn. At that time, he had already seen Mak Mun, who also saw his employer lying down, from behind the glass wall of the ICU room. Mak Mun's hand slowed down, signaling his arrival. Rini gave up from the crowd. She left her husband.
"Mak Mun has been since?" rini asked as she entered the guard room and met Mak Mun.
"Yes, Mommy .... Together with those who are in the big one." replied Mak Mun.
"Mister Mun wants to see you?" tanya Rini offers Mak Mun.
"Inside, Mother ...? May in?" asked the somewhat doubtful Mak Mun.
"Yes .... Go inside .... Look at you up close." said Rini.
"Yes, Mommy .... Mau .., I want, Mother ..." replied Mak Mun with a happy smile. Sure happy, because for a week; over his employer being treated in the ICU room, Mak Mun has never seen up close. Just watching from behind a glass window in the waiting room.
"Yes there .... Through the side door, the sandal was off, wearing a visiting suit that was like a surgeon's shirt. Then go inside through that door." Said Rini who explained to Mak Mun her maid.
"Yes, Mother ..." said Mak Mun who went straight into the sterilization room, and wore clothes visiting the ICU room.
That's the procedure for visiting the ICU. Of course the goal is to maintain cleanliness in the ICU room. Especially not to disturb the patient. So the number of visitors is limited and required to wear sterile clothes, a kind of practicum suit in the laboratory.
After Mak Mun enters to see his male employer, Rini guides Mak Mun from behind a glass window. Of course, while observing her husband who rolled in silence. Seeing Mak Mun inside the ICU room crying while observing Hamdan, Rini who was in the waiting room, cried. It must be because of deep sadness.
"Who's sick, Mom ...?" suddenly a voice asked Rini. Rini looked over, there was an old man, about seventy years old, wearing a very nice long-sleeved batik shirt. His white hair was covered with black peci. His thick mustache was neatly groomed, but it was all white. Not keeping a beard. Looks smooth, shaved out.
"Eh .., anu .., my husband, sir .... It's been a week in the ICU room not yet conscious." answered Rini while wiping the tears that wet her cheeks.
"Patience, ma'am .." said the old man.
"Life belongs to God .... Death is the power of God .... Everything is destined. Everything has been outlined. We cannot refuse the Suratan of God" said the old man, looking sharply at Rini.
It was as if there was a power that could hypnotize Rini, so she submissive in fear when she saw the old man looking at her. It was even as if the old man's words were extremely powerful piercing through Rini's ears. It was as if around that place no one else was talking. Rini only heard the words from the old man.
"We cannot change what has happened, nor can we outline the certainty of the future. We can't go back in time. Do not mourn fate with regret, for what we cannot change. Life is very short. While our desires are numerous. Therefore, we must look up at the sky, remembering the Power. Do not look on the ground for too long, thinking about worldly things. If you feel that the road is narrower, return to Allah, the All-Knowing of the Unseen. And say thank you for what you feel" said the old man giving advice to Rini.
"Yes, sir ..." replied the resigned Rini.
"So .., don't hold on to something you have to take off. Don't hide, things that must be returned. This world is only temporary. Everything mortal. Nothing is eternal. There are times when we are given, but there are times when ours are asked again. Relieve it. Give it sincerely. Don't hold it tight. Just release. Allah is fair, generous and giving. All we need, all we need, everything will be given." said the old man who still looked firmly at Rini.
"Yes, sir ..." Again, Rini could only say yes.
"If yes .., let go. I must be willing, no one to stand in the way .., sincere and sincere ..." said the man.
Rini was silent. Rini's confused. What is left. What to hide.
"But, Mr ...?!" Rini wanted to ask the Old Man. But when he raised his head, the old man was no longer there. It is gone from before him.
"Mr ...! Mr ...!" Rini tried to call and search, out of the room, but the old man was no longer there.
*******
"The patient's family on behalf of Mr. Hamdan ..., please immediately enter the ICU nurse room ...! Our call is addressed to the patient's family on behalf of Mr. Hamdan .., please enter the ICU nursing room immediately .... Thank you." the sound of the information through the loudspeakers installed in the ICU patient waiting room.
Mak Mun ran from the ICU room straight out, and into the guard room. He looked for Rini, crying.
"Mother ...! Mother ...! Mom ...!" said Mak Mun who directly hit his employer.
"What's up, Mak Mun ...?" ask Rini.
"Mr ..., Mother .... Mr. ..." said Mak Mun who was confused to speak.
Rini was daydreaming, thinking of the words of the old man who had disappeared. So he did not hear the call information broadcast via microfone in the patient's waiting room. So when Mak Mun came like that, Rini was confused.
"Please attention .... Our call is addressed to the patient's family on behalf of Mr. Hamdan .., please enter the ICU nursing room immediately .... Thank you." the sound of information through the loudspeaker installed in the ICU patient's waiting room went off again.
"That, Ma'am ..., there was a call ..." said Mak Mun who told his employer.
Rini was shocked. His heart is beating fast. There was something that deeply disturbed his mind upon hearing the call. Rini rushed to the nurse room in the ICU. Mak Mun came running, trailing Rini.
"Sorry, Mr Hamdan's family mother?" ask the nurse in the nurse's room.
"Yes, I am his wife .." answered Rini.
"That's hard, Mother .... Sorry, we have tried our best to help Mr. Hamdan, but may the will of God be predestined. Sorry, Mommy .... Mr. Hamdan we can't save" said the officer in the nursing room.
"Guard ...." Rini's dazed, her vision darkened. Then fainted.
