The departure of Father


The loss of a loved one contains the deepest expression of grief. Everyone has felt the loss of someone, whether parents, friends, girlfriends, or friends


Experiencing loss is not easy. Feelings of sadness must be felt when you lose someone you love.


The presence of those you love means a lot. It is natural that sadness strikes when a loved one suddenly leaves.


But, as time goes by, you must rise up and must not drag on in grief. Loss can be heartbreaking, even unforgettable throughout life.


However, life goes on and you can only pray that he remains happy. You also have to be sure that your happiness is what he wants.

The month of Fasting has arrived, all Muslims increase their Worship. School is also closed. Every day Mr. Joseph always controls the worship of his favorite daughter. Although almost fifteen years old, Mr. Yusuf still pampering Indah.


Whatever Beautiful wants, Mr. Joseph will obey. Even with Mr. Sri Pak Yusuf's wife, he always took care of, cared for and loved Indah sincerely.



On the twelfth day of Ramadan,


Lovely to watch her favorite show on TV. Beautiful to shrink his voice, even only heard by himself alone because he knew that at the same time his father was reciting in the room while waiting for Ashar to arrive.



Arrived – arrived, the prayer beads used by Mr. Yusuf were cut off and his manic – beads scattered out of the room about Indah who was watching TV.



Beautiful pick up the bead – the bead. I don't know why Beautiful heart became restless. Bad feelings haunt him.



“Dad!” Lovely collect the bead – such bead by holding back her tears.



After collecting the bead –, Indah opened the curtain of her father's room door and handed the bead to Mr. Joseph's hand. “Beautiful who hooked him up again, Daddy!” Beautiful Saying.



“Do not, Son! I still have another one!” Replied Mr. Yusuf then stood up and walked away leaving the prayer mat still lying in his room.



Mr. Yusuf keeps his bead – beads in a glass that is in a glass cabinet.



“Again?” Tanya Indah because she saw the netra of the father was puffy and flushed. It is impossible if Mr. Joseph had wept.



“It's okay, kid! Dad just a regular fever!” The answer.



“Rest, Dad!” Lovely cuddling.



“Iya, baby! Wake Dad up if Ashar time passes, son!” Mr. Yusuf Reminds Beautiful.



“Good, Dad!” Beautiful assented while folding prayer rugs owned by his father. Afterwards, Lovely put a blanket on her father's body.



Although her father was very disciplined, Indah was very respectful and affectionate towards him. Maybe that's how Mr. Joseph educated his son. Hard but non-violent.



Where is Ms Sri? He was resting in the Beautiful room because he did not want to disturb the worship of Mr. Joseph during the day.



When Mr. Yusuf rested, Indah took back the bead – bead in the glass was about to shake it back, but the plan failed because the number was incomplete. Only ninety-two.



“Dad..!” Lovely crying in heart so as not to be heard by his father. Only her tears were unable to be contained and flowed away. It is undeniable that he is afraid of losing the figure of a father who loves him so much.



Ashar time arrived, but Beautiful did not have the heart to wake the father.



Indah decided to take Wudhu and then perform Ashar Prayer in the back room.



After the prayer, Indah prayed to calm herself and pray for the father to be given health. But he was surprised by the step of the father who walked through the room with papah by his mother.




“Back, Son! I'm going to the bathroom!” The orders of Mr. Yusuf. Beautiful obeyed.



Mr. Yusuf who used a long blue sleeve shirt was returned by Ms. Sri to the room so that the Wudhunya was not canceled.



In the room, Mr. Joseph performed the Ashar Prayer in a sitting position. Mother asked the father not to continue his fast but the father refused and completed the fast that day until the break.



Like any other family, they break their fast together.There is no talk between them. There was a large stone in Indah's throat that made it difficult for her to swallow food as she noticed the movements of the Father who was holding back her pain.



"It's not usually like this. Dad always looked tough and never looked sick. Is your pain this time so bad?" Inner conflict occurs in the heart Beautiful.



“Why not eat? Is the food bad? Or do you not like the food?” Mr. Yusuf accidentally saw Indah lose his appetite and stuffed it with three questions.



“Eh, No Dad! Mom's cooking is great and I love it. Maybe I'm full because before I eat I drink too much water!” Beautifully covered the mess of her mind on the Father.



“Then, save your food first! You can eat it later after the Taraweh Prayer. If at that time you still feel full, then eat at curfew you usually eat!” Advice from Mr. Yusuf.



“Alright, Dad!” Then Lovely keep her food in the food closet.



For a moment they unwinded, Taraweh Prayer Time arrived, Indah rushed to take Wudhu and said goodbye to two parents who loved her very much.



“Beautiful Kasian! Please buy him his favorite food so that the child can eat right!” Pinta Pak Yusuf to his wife.



"All right!" Answer Ms. Sri. At that time Bu Sri preferred to stay at home to take care of her husband rather than join the Taraweh prayer in the Mosque.



“Do you not what – do I stay alone at home?” Ask Bu Sri worried.



“I am not a sick child and cannot stay alone at home. Go!” Refuse Mr. Joseph and tell the wife to go buy favorite food Beautiful.


The next day, Ms. Sri called the doctor home to check on Dad.


“How's my Dad doing, Doc?” Tanya Beautiful panicked.


“It's okay, the stomach acid is up! Maybe it's because it's Fasting Month and your dad's been suffering from acid reflux for the last two years. Stop the fast for a while!” Obviously the doctor. “This is a drug that must be redeemed to Pharmacy!” he continued while giving the recipe to Indah. Lovely gave it to Bu Sri who was sitting next to him.


Two, Three, Four, Five. It was the fifth day that Mr. Joseph was sick. Mr. RT came to see. “Yeah, your hands look yellow. Netramu. Do I need you to call a doctor?” Said Mr. RT after meeting Mr. Yusuf.


“Let my wife call the doctor!” Yusuf answered, Hiding his panic.


“What's up?” Ask Bu Sri who just came from the bathroom and heard my wife's words from her husband.


“Come with Mas Yusuf to the doctor, Ma'am!” Said Mr. RT to Ms. Sri. Then Mr. RT went home.


“Can my hand turn yellow like what Mr RT said?” Ask Mom.


“Ga coking!” Bu Sri calmed Mr. Yusuf.


“But says... “ Sentence Mr. Yusuf cut.


“Perhaps because Pak RT just came from under the blazing sun that began to rise! So your hands and face look yellow!” Resist Bu Sri even though she is also worried about her husband's situation.


True said Mr. RT, the face and hands of Mr. Yusuf yellowed. Same with his eyelids.


Mom moved away to the back of the house to contact her brother. “Assalamualaikum, Ira!” Ms. Sri spoke immediately when she knew her call was connected.


“Waalaikum greetings, what's up Mbak?” Tanyanya panicked because she heard Bu Sri's voice that showed confusion.


Seriate.....
