MU'ADZ
FIFTY SIX

Happy Reading

This morning Mu'adz helped run Abi's dairy farm. This time he was ready to milk. There are many people who come to buy fresh milk, some are buying literature or even some are buying in some jerry cans. Fresh milk produced from the farm, not only for sale, but some are given to all students every morning and evening.

While his hands were reddened, from the direction of the entrance gate there was one of the santri kang who ran up to him. Mu'adz turned his head while frowning looking at the expression of the santri kang who seemed to be in a hurry.

"As-assalamualaikum G-gus," greeted Kang santri with chattering.

Take off the gloves, then move to face the santri Kang. "Waalaikumsalam Kang's. Enten nopo Kang?"

"An-u Gus anu," said Kang santri still in nonsense.

"Gang Riyen took it," his orders were followed by Kang. "Well, pripun?" tanyakanya.

"NingKiyaGussaknikitengUGD," said the santri Kang without pause.

Mua'dz immediately gasped in shock. "Huh? alon-alon Kang's. Ning Kiya pripun?" ask him again, because he did not really hear the words of Kang santri.

"Ning Kiya Gus accident, sak niki teng ER."

Hearing the news, he immediately ran towards ndalem. No matter the people who looked with curious gazes. The goal this time is only Ameera and her future baby.

Indeed, before he left for the farm, his wife asked permission to go with Nduk Shahla, to the daily market located near the intersection of the pesantren here. It was also taken by foot, not until five minutes have arrived.

Arriving at ndalem Abi, he headed straight to the garage to pick up his bike in a hurry. "Le, Mu'adz. Alon-alon, God willing to do well" said Abah Shiddiq.

"Well, pandungane mawon" he said with teary eyes. He plugged his gas after saying goodbye.

So scared, he unknowingly carried the motor at maximum speed. His mind has gone everywhere. Especially when the sentence was spoken in his wife's lips. Astagfirullah...

Arrive at the nearest hospital parking lot. With a very chaotic situation, barefoot, even the sarong he was wearing was far from neat. Mu'adz ran down the ridge to the ER. When his neutrality captures the existence of Mommy, he accelerates the pace of his run.

"Bun-nda Ameera pripun Nda," he said shaking to look at Mother.

"Mas Mu'adz, calm riyen ngggeh. Longitudinal. Nduk Kiya tasek handled," Mother ordered her to sit down. "Istighfar Mase," added Mother.

By exhaling, he repeatedly exhaled. The elusan of Mother's hand makes her look at Mother with teary eyes. "Ameera kaleh adek will sae-sae mawon right Nda? Mboten ninggale Mas Mu'adz right Nda?" Mother immediately hugged him, he immediately tightened the hug. Crying in the arms of Mother.

"Istighfar Mas, Istighfar," said Mother calming. "Katah dungo nggeh, nyuwun teng gusti Allah."

Hearing that, he increasingly cried sobbing in the arms of Mother. Shortly after, we heard footsteps approaching. He took off Mother's embrace, then his hand wiped away the trace of tears on his cheek.

"Nduk Piye?"

"Nembe handled tasikan Mi," replied Mother to Umi Rumanah who had patted her back.

"Kejadise pripun to Mi?" ask Mommy. Even in his silence, he still heard the conversation around.

"Critane arek-arek mau, jrene enek pickup brake e blong keep tepak Kiya karo Shahla ape nyebrang," Umi Rumanah story.

"Innaillai wa innaillahi rajiun" said Mother.

No. gabe. Oh, God, don't.

Decitan the door, make it look up. Removing the rough tears, he quickly approached the woman's doctor.

"My wife and daughter are perfect Doc?" tanyanya is impatient.

With a regretful look, the Doctor shook his head making himself limp for a moment. His world collapsed instantly. If it is not captured Mother, he has fallen on the floor. No matter people saw him as weak now. He is at the lowest point in his life right now. His wife and future son left him. In Mother's arms, she cried as much as she could.

"Innaillahi wa innaillahi rajiun."

"Sorry Doctor Luna, we've tried our best. The mother and baby were not saved, due to a hard impact on the abdomen and head of the patient. So that the baby candidate died in the womb. We all offer our deepest condolences. Then excuse me first."

"Niki real mboten right Nda, Ameera kaleh adek mboten ninggalne Mase right?" ask Mommy with reddened eyes that continue to shed tears.

Seeing Mommy crying too, he shook his head even more. "Mother?"

"Mother believes Mas Mu'adz is strong. Mas Mu'adz must be sincere," said Mother while she still shook her head. All of this was still not accepted by his mind and heart.

Earlier this morning, he was still interacting with two people he loved very much. Still joking free. But now?

No? it's just a dream. Yes, it's a dream. Oh my God, if this is a dream please wake up. This is really painful.

With a hasty step, he opened the ER door rudely. Seen the body that has been stretched stiff, covered with white cloth. His cries grew even more broken, seeing his wife's face so deathly pale.

His slow steps drew closer to his wife's body. "Mas, geez netes iluh e," Mother's remembrance which she immediately removed rough.

Getting closer, he could see a little two corners of his wife's lips lifted. His body shook violently. Then it fell to the floor near the ward where his wife's body was. With a sigh, he cried so much.

"Nd-nduk e kok ninggalne Mase. Nduk e mboten seneng tah dadi istrine Mase," racaunya pilu. "Adek, mboten want to meet baba to?"

"Sampun's case."

"Nduk e sampun seneng, sak niki talkane Nduk e lapanon. Mase mireng Nduk e kaleh Abah kaleh Umi. But lek kangen mboten ngeten niki, ninggalne Mase. Kan tasek saget ndungakne Nduk e."

"Mase suayang teng Nduk e kaleh adek," the pill is accompanied by a whim.
