Love Frame For Sarmila
CHAPTER 72

Allhumma rabban nasi, adzhibil ba’sa. Ishefis. Antas. La syafiya illa anta syifa’an la yughadiru saqaman.That is,

“My Lord, God of men, eliminate disease. Give healing because you are a healer. No one can cure the disease except You with a healing that leaves no pain,” (See Imam An-Nawawi, Al-Adzkar, [Damascus: Darul Mallah, 1971 M/1391 H], page 113).

Danu woke up in a third of the night. His eyes can not be closed, no dizziness or symptoms of his body limp. Sitting next to his wife who is still lulled with the dream world. He did not wake Mila. Because his wife is still a red cross. As a husband he should appreciate his wife's current condition.

The man got up from his night fight. Walk towards the bathroom. Time has shown at half-four in the morning. He will perform tahajud prayers to relieve his anxiety.

"Assynnnya ... Assalamualaikum .." greeting greetings as the closing of the evening prayer.

Danu looked towards the wife who was still asleep. A shady face that made her fall in love. Added to the attitude of Mila who is sometimes possessive if she is slow to come home from work.

"I'm sorry if I haven't been able to tell you about my current situation. About my sickness which separates us from time to time.

Not because I don't want to be honest with you. But I don't want my circumstances to add to the burden of your mind. I want to be the one to give you happiness all my life. If I go away only good memories can I give you.

Let me make a love frame for you, Sarmila. Let me give you one gift before I leave that's a child. You won't be lonely." Danu approached Mila about to kiss her forehead. But not yet arrived on his wife's forehead the sound of the dawn adhan was reverberating.

Danu stood back on the prayer mat. Performing circumcision prayers he rakaat. Before it is continued with the dawn prayer.

"Mas," Mila's voice was heard after Danu's morning prayers.

"Honey, if you still want to rest is okay to continue." Danu restrained Mila as she was about to get out of bed.

"You are, Mas. I think I'm just sick. I'd like to wash my face and prepare breakfast for you and Lala. Vishnu Lala said he could go to school today.

Oh yeah, Mas what about the results to school last night?"

Danu lowered her head. He feels bad if it turns out that the victim of Puput is Lala. That's what he got when one of Puput's playmates was forced to explain the truth.

The flashback

Danu arrived at the school where Puput studied. The man swung his legs into the courtyard of the famous favorite junior high school in the city of Bengkulu. Welcomed the friendly homeroom teacher who Mr. Aris Sunandar. Danu knew Aris as her high school friend first.

"So you're the guardian, Puput? I just found out that you're the father of Fogs."

"No. That's my sister's pup. I have two sisters who go to school here. Puput and Sahila."

"Crazy? Lala you mean?" Danu nodded.

"To know I Lala was her sister. Where's my brother from, Danu?"

"My wife's sister. His older brother." Danu and Aris were still engrossed in talking amidst the scorching sunlight. They stand on the edge of the basketball court.

Aris invites Danu to speak in the teacher's room. About a complaint from one of the students who brought Lala to the UKS. Aris asked the student to come to the teacher's room related to the case in Puput.

"Here's called Carla. He's the one who took one of the students who passed out after eating the food that Puput shared. Strangely we were friends who were okay. Only one fainted. We thought Lala was just unwell. However, Carla admitted last night that she had included shrimp-flavored nuggets. That's what he said to Puput."

Danu could only shake her head at her sister's behavior. He was shocked because his sister made Lala go to the hospital.

Flashback off

"I'm sorry for what my sister did to Lala. The one who made Lala drop was my little sister's puput."

"Reason?" Still in a patient tone she waited for her husband's story.

"Lala was elected the head of the basketball and volleyball team at her school. The pupil seemed to feel rivaled. He used to love to make trouble. Mom gets overwhelmed sometimes."

"It looks like the Frog is looking for attention so he is. Try to speak from heart to heart."

Danu recalled that all this time they had been in the orphanage to give the best attention to Puput. During this time Danu yearsya his mother is still patient to face Puput who is quite stubborn.

There are times when attention-seeking behavior performed by children is still relatively normal and can be controlled. However, there are also times where the attention seeking behavior of this child is classified as negative and difficult to calm again.

Like for example Create a tantrum or bring up drama at home or in public places. It can also cause harm to others.

"And a child like Puput needs to be approached with a cool head. Just like Sarah first, when she was in Junior High she ever skipped because she wanted to watch pension at UNIB campus. Mom gets overwhelmed, grandma defends Sarah, Dan ..." Mila had not yet been able to continue her words. Danu interrupted immediately.

"And that's what makes Sarah so big-headed as she is now" Danu added.

"I'm sorry for Sarah's attitude last night. Sometimes it's my responsibility as a sister. So impressed to spoil him."

"And I ask you not to cook for Sarah again. Let her learn to serve her husband. I'm not sincere that Anjas is spoiled with your cooking."

"You're jealous of Anjas?"

"Honestly yes, after I found out he was your ex. When he was in this house the most unfortunate with the characteristics of your cuisine. You used to make him a lot of times." Mila nodded.

"She often eats here after work. Wait for me and my mom to cook in the kitchen. Anjas is just like you, Mas. He was patient. Never been angry. And ..."

"And what?" Danu put his hands on his wife's waist.

"And there's no need to talk about that anymore. It's over and now you're my future." The two throw smiles at each other.

Danu's fingers also looked at the hair of his wife. Landed a small kiss on his wife's ripe lips.
