"Marhaban ya Ramadan, the blessed holy month has arrived. It is time to get closer to Him, stay away from evil, increase worship. With all humility, apologize born and inner. Marhaban in Ramadhan. Happy fasting.”
The speech was heard in the hospital operator, where Lala was being treated. Mila, Eva and Danu are grateful to be able to meet the month of Ramadan.
For Mila and Danu, this is their first year through Ramadan with a new status, namely husband and wife. They added that they were blessed with seeds embedded in Mila's womb.
For Danu, he was grateful that he still lived a long life. Passing Ramadan for the rest of his life, Danu knows that his time is only one year. When he was a child, he did not understand that death could greet him. He only knows that often
sickly. But as he got older Danu tried to live a healthy life, stay away from cigarettes, and the like. He even limited his meetings. Danu only hangs out with a few friends, average yes alumni parlors.
But it was Vishnu who often with him reminded him of the value of health. Support each other even though they are not. After Vishnu's mother died, Danu chose to go home. Vishnu had detained the adoptive brother to live with him. It's just that, for Danu half his life was already in the orphanage. He also did not feel at home to the lonely house of Vishnu.
And now he's at number 3 for his age. A number that should sharpen his sensitivity for himself and those he loves. The number to which he should rewind his life time in the world.
"Darling, you don't fast tomorrow" Danu said.
"Why, Mas? I want to fast, it feels like a loss to leave fasting just because it is two-bodied," replied Mila.
"If you're still morning sick, it's better not to. Or I do not fast so I can accompany you. Besides I also have to take the medicine that Vishnu gave me, just as Lala also could fast tomorrow, so there is a friend," said Danu.
Eva hears Danu has to finish the medicine, feeling astonished. Isn't Danu just a fever because his immunity is down. Why should I take the medication at the dose? the question was just that he was silent in his heart. To ask a lot, he felt disinclined.
He had wanted to ask both of them for a long time. Not wanting to know about Mila's family business. But if there is something urgent who knows they can help.
Eva also expressed her curiosity to Mila and Danu.
"Actually I want to ask you guys something? especially you, Danu? what exactly happened to you? is it pain or just ordinary pain?
Not that I want to know your business. But this is for Mila's sake, if you're hiding something behind Mila, tell her the truth. Don't make Mila sad anymore," Eva continued to scold without giving a pause for Danu to speak.
"Nothing, Va. There's nothing he's hiding from me, Va," Mila replied.
"Surely absent, he twice fainted in a nosebleed state. Don't you suspect he has another illness? Don't-don't he leu ...."
"Va, I told you. There is nothing he is hiding from me. From the heavy to the small he is always open. So your thoughts are exaggerated" Mila continued to interrupt Eva's words.
He's not lying. Nothing was hidden from her husband. Including about leukemia in the idap Danu. But to be open to others even though brothers still feels taboo for Mila.
"Mila, I'll go home first, change the same bone Boro guard Lala. Uh, but Boro's bones back in Medan want to talk about the wedding," Eva said.
"Well, God willing I came back here. And you have to go home. Look at your face is so pale. And you Danu, accompany Mila, for there is no one in the house. You must be on standby near Mila" said Eva.
Danu. Eva finally paid a farewell to Mila, Danu and Bu Nurmala.
"Oh my God, I forgot. Later in the home there is an event. Sorry, Danu, Mila, I have to go home too, where the show is done. Although it has been prepared by the mother of Muhammadiyah members, but we still have to ontime,"
"Yes, Mom, it's okay. Thank you for bringing me here. Sorry we couldn't attend the show there. My sister is still unconscious,"
"You're patient, Mila. This is a test from God. The test is given so that humanity never forgets him" said Bu Nurmala.
In the end only the two of them stayed in Lala's nursery. Danu said a moment, before long he also brought back mucena and prayer mats of two pieces.
"Mas, tomorrow we consult with the doctor only. Who knows there are vitamins for fetal boosters. In order to endure the fast, it felt like a loss left the fast," Mila suddenly ran to the bathroom. His stomach was nauseous, his vision was twitching.
Danu immediately swiftly guided Mila to a seat near Lala's gurney. The burly hand pinched his wife's neck, though she eventually ran back to the bathroom.
"Mas, I don't smell the hospital. Don't know why? but I'll try to hold on, it's impossible to leave Lala alone here, Eva's home, too,"
"If you're not strong, let's go home. You rest at home let me take care of Lala. I'll call my friend to accompany me here,
Eva is alone at home. So have Eva accompany you,"
"I pray first, yes. If you are not strong, just sit on a mat. I have a lot of acquaintances here because I have paid a year. So it doesn't matter if I borrow some tools here,"
"I also pray, Mas," Mila walked gontai towards the bathroom.
"The door's open, honey," Danu called.
He was afraid something might happen to Mila. Moreover, his wife had just pulled out her stomach.
"Yes, Mas,"
Mila and Danu started the Maghrib prayer in Lala's nursery. Unbeknownst to them Lala slightly opened her eyes. The shady look with what he saw made his tears drip.
*****
Anjas returned home after calming down at the mosque. Not going home with Sarah. Instead of going back to his house in rawamakmur. It looks like Melani's mother and other residents are busy cleaning up the remaining water that enters the house.
"You're home, son," Melani's mother welcomed her eldest son.
"Yes,Ma. Looks like I didn't make it in time" Anjas felt.
"Who said? this is your house, son. You were born and raised here. So it's natural to come back here,"
Rudi who heard her stepmother's words, only took a deep breath. Wanna envy? in fact, he and his father were the ones who hitchhiked here. Anjas is loved by Melani's father and mother. Besides being handsome, the man also worked on building his own business. Unlike Rudi who is still asking for money with his father.
"Mama, make tea for you, yes, son," Ms. Melani is still excited about Anjas' return.
"Let me make her tea, mama rest. From earlier, my mother did not stop working" said Rudi.
A few moments later Rudi came back to Anjas who was sitting in the living room.
"Bang, here's the tea" Rudi said as he sat in front of his half-brother.
"Thank you,"
"Abang is not the same Lala, did you tell me to bring Lala,"
"Lala left the house, I don't know what made the boy suddenly leave the house. It's all Sarah's fault, she's gone too far. I don't know how to direct Sarah anymore,"
"Abang salat and istikharah. Ask God for guidance from the almighty. Who knew that praying could open Sarah's heart.
Sorry, Bang. I'm not interfering. As long as I knew Sarah at Junior High, until before you were married. I know that Sarah has a good side, though,
Only one weakness, if jealous he will hate that person. There used to be Esta who was familiar with me, probably because I wanted Sarah to learn a lot about Esta, making her look as possessive as I was. Let alone Esta, who is related to Esta like her friend or someone close to her enemies as well.
And so is Mila's sister. I know that you want Sarah like Mila, from her attitude or in taking care of the household. But try to invite her to cook together, wash dishes together. Or help him with his duties. I think slowly he'll understand,"
...****...
Sarah woke up from her sleep, the sound of Adhan also sounded very melodious. His sight turned around him. Her husband has not yet returned. The lights in the house look dark.
As he remembered, he had already turned on the lights after the Maghrib prayer. But after eating Lala's cooking she felt full and sleepy. She was going to Mila's house to see Lala. But in fact, drowsiness can not be compromised. Until finally falling asleep again.
"Bang Anjas hasn't come home yet? is he still angry with me. It's curfew. God seems to be dead, I have to check out" Sarah got out of bed.
But what makes him surprised is not the kepalang feel the water pooled just below the knee of his foot. Sarah is certainly terrified, where she herself is at home and lights out. He abandoned his intention to leave the room. Cowering alone in bed.
"Bu, mother ... Sarah's scared," she said.
Sarah's gonna take her phone. Only then did he remember that his phone was left in the kitchen. Now he was just lamenting everything he experienced.
