Restu who was still sleeping at dawn suddenly his body was shaken by several children. He just moved and changed his sleeping position. But the children were increasingly violently shaking his body while calling the name Restu.
" Bang, Bang Restu wake up bang. Bang wake!"
" Bang Restu wake up, mom bang. Mom fainted bang!"
" Baaang banggguuun!"
" Astagfirullaah."
Restu immediately woke up, he momentarily rubbed his eyes to eliminate the blurry feeling when looking. He looked at the boys next to him.
" What's wrong with mom?"
" Aisyah's mother fainted. He fell on the floor, just as we were about to wake up his mother he was already on the floor."
A child starts to sob. Restu immediately got up and ran towards the room of the woman called Aisyah's mother. It appears that two slightly larger teenagers were trying to wake Mother Aisyah up but it didn't seem to work. Teenagers the age of Junior High and High School children were seen crying towards Restu.
" Bang, mom bang. Aisyah's mother doesn't wake up."
" Nia, Nisa, lift mom up to my back I'll take mom to the hospital."
The teenager named Nia and Nisa nodded in understanding. With a little effort both of them lifted Mother Aisyah's body onto Restu's back. Restu then ran towards the car and put the middle-aged woman into the car.
" You two take care of the sisters, let it be the brother who took mom to the hospital."
" But bang,"
" No use but, calm the sisters. They're scared. Keep their needs ready.all still have to be school. Understood!"
Nia and Nita nodded obediently. Nia was the 11th grade High School teenager who became responsible now she and then with Nita the 9th grade Junior High School brought her 7th number of siblings back into the house according to Restu's orders.
Inside his car Restu repeatedly glanced towards the middle-aged woman who was beside him. Restu's tears immediately fell, he would not be able to if anything happened to the woman who had treated him.
" Mommy, I hope you're okay. Don't leave me mom. Don't leave us. We always need a mother in our lives."
Restu increased the speed of his car. Luckily it is still dawn so the streets in the capital are not crowded. Restu can travel to the hospital for only about 30 minutes.
" Doctor please!"
Restu shouted as he carried Mother Aisyah into the IGD room. Some medical personnel swiftly took the gurney and asked Restu to put Aisyah's mother there.
" You wait here, sir. We'll check on your mother first."
" Good doctor."
Restu was really worried, he forgot to have not carried out his 2 rakaat obligations. Restu then ran to find a mosque and carried out the pending obligations.
" Yes Allaah, I hope you're okay. Give healing to the mother, lift all her diseases. Aamiin's."
" Are you a patient's family?"
" Yes my doctor. How's Aisyah's mom doing?"
" This ... "

Restu bowed lethargic even he was already crying. He now sat next to the middle-aged woman with his wide hijab. The face that was usually smiling brightly now looked so pale. But Aisyah's mother can still give her best smile to Restu.
" Why didn't mom say. Why do you stay still. Why is mom sick all this time but never talk to Restu."
" I'm sorry mom son. I don't want you to get any harder. You've worked hard for your brothers. I don't want to add to your burden anymore with this mother's illness."
Restu shook his head quickly. He held the middle-aged woman's hand. Although he knew that the woman who was lying weak was not his birth mother but Restu's affection for her was certainly not in doubt. To her Mother Aisha was the angel and angel whom God sent to her.
" Mom, I want to have surgery."
" No need to, the cost is expensive. Where we no longer have health insurance. You're gonna get tired of working."
Restu was silent for a moment. He certainly knows that. But his job this time he is sure to get more money. And Restu is also sure to be able to meet the needs of his younger siblings in the orphanage "Mirari Dusk".
The doctor explained that Aisyah had peritonitis. Peritonitis is inflammation of the membrane that lines the abdominal wall and covers the abdominal organs. Peritonitis requires surgery, It is caused by a leak or hole in the intestine, such as from a ruptured appendix. It is fitting that Aisyah Mother often experiences nausea, vomiting, stomach stiffness and pain. Sometimes he has a fever.*
Aisyah's mother had to undergo an exploratory laparotomy, which is a general surgical operation in which the abdomen is opened and abdominal organs examined. After that will be done surgical drainage measures that is a tube used to remove pus, blood, or other fluids from wounds, body cavities, or organs.*

" No ma'am, Restu didn't feel burdened. Mom is fine here huh. I need to have an operation immediately. Oh yes Restu came home bentar ya want to take mother's clothes. Just tell the sisters not to worry."
" Be careful, son."
Restu nodded, after kissing Mother Aisyah's hand he came out of the room. Aisyah's mother cried for a moment. I can no longer hold back my tears now. Restu Adi, the name he gave when he found the boy 20 years ago. Losing her hard-sick baby and finding a little child made Aisyah's heart warm.
Restu is like a solace. Betrayed by her husband and left behind by the princess, Aisyah's world seemed to collapse at that time. When his heart ached a little boy was lying on the bank of the river when Aisyah was in his parents' second hometown. Young Aisyah took the little boy and decided to take care of him until he was as big as he is now. Growing up to be a good looking young man.
After losing her baby and finding Restu, she then decides to take care of some children and set up an orphanage. He who was a civil servant dedicated all his salary to the children he cared for.
Even so apparently his salary can not meet all the needs of his orphanage. Until Aisyah part-time work to make cakes to be deposited in the market. Where it can add to spending money and daily necessities. Even in the market he also already has a subscription to shopping his basic needs. Not infrequently Aisyah will take a new first after receiving a pension will be paid. Luckily the owner of the stall was very good at allowing Aisyah to pay at a later date.
