My Office Boy's
49. Must Have Patient Stock

That night, Mr. Ati and Mr. Asep visited the residence of Mama Rani to see the condition of her daughter-in-law who had just returned from the hospital. Mama Rani welcomes both of her besi with joy, although it is undeniable that these two Surya parents know exactly what Mama Rani feels.

" Well, ma'am, Kalia still doesn't want to talk. Shut up and moody keep going. I also offered to eat from earlier. I become worried if this continues." said Mama Rani while glazed over.

" The neng was hit hard like that, Ms. Rani. When I saw it, I did not respond too much to my words. He spoke as necessary, smiling as if forced. Maybe we should give Lia more time to be able to accept her condition. I'm afraid Lia is traumatized, especially the way they lost Humaira to a very sad event." Bu Ati's tears began to brim.

" Don't say that, Mah. All we can do is pray. May Lia and Surya be more sincere in accepting all of this as a divine destiny that God has laid out in their lives." Mr. Asep tried to calm his wife and his besieging. Bu Rani could only nod while wiping her tears.

" Sorry, Mom. Where is Surya?" ask Mr. Asep again when he finds out that his son is not in the room.

" There, Sir. In the guest room, I think we're taking a break. I also can't see Surya. Looks like very tired. So I asked to go to sleep first. Understandably, in the hospital must be lack of sleep because it takes care of Lia. No one is replacing me." explained Ms. Rani.

" Oh yes, Miss Rani. Don'twake. Let it rest." said Mr. Asep.

" I also actually had other concerns after seeing them come home from the hospital. Somehow Lia was like avoiding Surya. Even Surya had told me that while in the hospital Lia did not want to talk at all. It was also time to arrive, instead telling Surya to get out of the room and not want to be disturbed. I am confused, what's wrong with the two of them." complains Bu Rani again.

Mr. Asep and Bu Ati fell silent. Feeling as confused as Bu Rani.

Until 4 pm, Bu Rani tried to wake her son-in-law for Ashar prayers. Surya still looks sleepy, his body aches and his eyes are very heavy to open. But he forced to wake up because he had not prayed ashar.

When he came out of the room, he saw that his parents were sitting in the living room. Surya hugged them.

" mom..Sir.naha teu ngagugahkeun ujang mun tos dongkap?" (why not wake up if it comes?) said Surya while hugging his parents alternately.

" A keun we, ujang na cape. Must be less rest in the hospital mah. Kade ujang ge must take care of health. But I'm sick, the car's with Lia." (Ah.nothing, pity his cape. Must be less rest in the hospital. Watch out for testing also must take care of health, if you try to be sick, pity neng Lianya) said Bu Ati while stroking his son's back

" Ujang wants to pray ashar first then. Later we continue talking." said Surya, Bu Ati nodded.

After the Ashar prayer, Surya returned to meet his parents.

" Same mom I met Lia?" surya asked as he sat himself on the sofa, joining his parents.

" Had seen you for a moment. But Lia is like a cape once, so do not talk for long" explained Mr. Asep.

Surya breathed a heavy sigh.

" Lia had indeed become quiet after finding out Humaira had died. Ujang also got confused about this tea. Not even the same thing that you don't want to touch." Surya scratched his forehead, feeling dizzy with Kalia's behavior now.

" Cing patient, kudu jembar hate ujang na. Lia was still grieving, let alone Lia the double pain. His surgery sick, sick oge because your son died. Not to mention injuries from accidents. Must be kayang wae jang. Meureun teu geugeubegan atuh, trauma. Urang oge geuning mun tina motor, sakitu soak na. Komo ieu, his cilaka, his kaleungitan Humaira oge. The work of the father of mah ngabayangkeun na ge." said Mr. Asep at length

(The patient, should be heartened. Lia was still grieving, moreover Lia was double sick. Sick from surgery, sick also because your son died. Not to mention injuries from accidents. It must be so dear Jang. It could be trauma. We also when we fall from the bike, it likes its own shock. Moreover, this, the accident yes, the loss of Humaira as well yes. Poor Father also imagined it.)

Surya pensive for a long time, Mr. Asep's words are very true. Kalia's injuries were not just the result of Humaira's loss. But more than that. He feels guilty for wanting Kalia to understand his condition that Surya is just as sad as losing their child.

" Ujang will give his full support to Lia. Will always be beside Lia in order to get through this difficult time, sir." said Surya steady, he must immediately rise from his sadness, so that Kalia soon recover and can cheer again.

Mr. Asep patted his son's back.

" Yes, jang. Be a good priest to neng Lia. Accompany continues, encourage, so as not to drag on. I'm very sure, ujang will be able to do that" said Mr. Asep haru.

Surya was finally able to smile with relief after these few days like forgetting how to smile. His father was very wise. Luckily, he had parents who supported him. Indeed, telling God and asking for advice to parents is the best solution in dealing with all problems. Because the true affection of parents to their children is always as wide as the ocean.

That afternoon, Mama Rani and Bu Ati collaborated to cook good food for everyone. They tell a lot of stories. Indeed, as long as Surya and Kalia were married for approximately 5 months, they rarely met. After the marriage contract first, all immediately returned to their respective homes and never again told a lot. It was the right moment to strengthen the two families.

Sometimes it is in an event, always tucked away wisdom that we never thought.

Almost entered maghrib, dishes are already available on the dining table. But because of the time spent with adhan maghrib who soon reverberated, be all agreed to eat after the Maghrib prayer only.

This time they prayed together with Mr. Asep as a priest. Ms. Rani was very happy, for a long time she had never prayed together because she was more often alone at home, both when Kalia was not married and after marrying Surya.

He is grateful for that at this time, even though God is giving him painful trials of life, but Surya knew that God was looking at him and would give him the happiness of having a child for him and Kalia at the right time. Hopefully it can happen soon.

After the prayer, they had dinner together. The family atmosphere is getting warmer. Surya quickly finished his meal despite not being too full. He wants to feed Kalia in order to taste the good food cooked with love by Bu Rani and Bu Ati.

" Dear, I'm going in." Slowly, Surya opened his wife's room door. He saw Kalia still curled up, like not changing position.

" Eat first baby." persuaded Surya while putting a tray of rice and side dishes on the nightstand.

Kalia opened her eyes for a moment, then closed them again.

" Let the wound heal quickly operation, let it be healthy as well." Surya is still trying.

Kalia's not budging.

" This is the cuisine of the duo mama you know dear, Lia used to eat it greedy once when we played to the house of mama. Mama Rani and Mama Ati. It's really delicious. Seriously akang mah."

Kalia looked at him with a sharp look.

" I'm not hungry, I don't have to force it" Kalia said.

" But this is seriously delicious.sok tried to sedikiiit alone." persuaded Surya again still not want to give up.

" I said I don't want to eat, I want a good cake, I don't want to cake, I still don't want to. It's better to come out now." Kalia's voice raised to make Surya stunned.

Kalia immediately immersed herself in the blanket. Surya sighed heavily, it seems Surya's struggle to restore Kalia's joy takes a short time.

" Yes already.akang lives his food here. If Lia is hungry, then stay at the meal. Because you have to take medicine, dear." said Surya softly, then rushed away leaving Kalia who was crying behind her blanket.

Surya came out of Kalia's room with a sad face. Mama Rani instantly knew what her daughter-in-law was going through.

" Kalia won't eat, will she? Let mama talk later. Surya befriends mamah sama aja tuh in the TV room." said Mama Rani while stroking Surya's back lovingly.

At around 8 p.m., Surya's parents came home. They say goodbye to Kalia and then together out of the house to ride the online car that Surya has ordered for both parents.

" Remember the message of the Father, must have a lot of patient stock.do not easily broken spirit. I'm sure Kalia will be well soon. Will be happy again first. The important thing is not to forget to ask for the same that is heart-pushing." advice Mr. Asep. Surya nodded haru.

It's true, it looks like Surya has to have a lot of patience to deal with Kalia in its current condition. It is not easy to cure a person's psychological trauma. But it is not impossible either, for indeed Allah is the One who turns back the hearts of men. Surya believed that.
