Only I Love
Chapter 54

Everything seems to be turning back. "Yes, Allah ... Dizziness," the ringisnya.

"Assalamualaik." Sound from outside the house.

But Ala was powerless to rise. His stomach became very nauseous. He tried to crawl into the bathroom, but ...

"Huweek, huweek, huweeekk ...." All went out without even getting to the bathroom splattered on the floor.

Outside, Ummi and his younger siblings paced back and forth because they did not hear an answer.

"Is your Union not home?" ask Ummi.

"So, Apak said that Uni has not been to Pondok for a few days. I'm afraid the Union is sick alone here" said Aulia the youngest.

"Ummi is also worried about your Union. He said from yesterday it was okay. But, Ummi knows how the wife feels if the husband stumbles into trouble. Moreover, he looks tired lately."

Ryzki, Alya's husband, tries to pull the door handle. "Ummi, not the key," he cheered in surprise.

Then they all flocked into the house.

"Allahuakbar," Ummi screeched as she looked at her daughter leaning against the wall, her face turning pale, and the abundance of fluids that made Alya, who was pregnant, feel nauseous.

Ala felt extremely weak and helpless as her sisters and Ummi approached her with obvious worry emanating on their faces.

"Oh Allah, Ala. What the hell happened to you?" Ummi asked in a trembling voice, trying to calm Ala down.

Ala was only able to shake her head in a lethargic manner. "I feel so bad, Ummi. My head was so dizzy, my body was limp and I was so nauseous. I don't know what's going on."

Ryzki, Alya's husband, takes immediate action. "We need to get her to the hospital right now. His condition may require immediate medical treatment." Ryzki tries to lift the skinny body of the sister-in-law.

In a hurry, they help Ala get in the car and get to the nearest hospital. Anxiety and worry filled their hearts throughout the journey.

Upon arrival at the hospital, Ala was immediately examined by a medical team who were ready to handle her condition. Ummi, Ryzki, and Ala's two sisters wait anxiously in the waiting room.

Time seemed to run very slowly, and every second felt like hours for those who were waiting for news of Ala's state. They prayed in their hearts, begging Ala to get the help she needed.

Finally, the doctor came out of the examination room and approached Ala's worried family.

"Doctor, how's my son doing?" ask Ummi in a worried tone.

"She is undergoing further tests, but she seems to be severely dehydrated. We will provide intravenous fluid therapy to help hydrate his body. In addition, we will also conduct some tests to find out the cause of his severe nausea," explained the doctor attentively.

Ummi breathed a sigh of relief at the news, but worry remained in his heart. He looked at his son-in-law and children expectantly.

"We must remain strong, be patient, and support Ala in this difficult time. She must be stressed over the case that befell her husband" Ummi said in a firm voice. "We must support each other and pray that everything will go well."

All the people who were there nodded, showing their readiness towards the Ala family who were plagued with quite a heavy problem.

Rafatar sits inside a detention cell with his unrelenting memory of his wife constantly drifting at him. Her heart was full of worry and guilt for not being able to protect and accompany Ala in these difficult times.

"In this cell, I feel confined and helpless" whispered Rafatar, holding onto memories with Ala. "Darling, you're okay, right? Do you know how much I miss you and your presence here? I keep thinking about you and I endlessly pray that you and our baby stay strong."

"In this darkness, I hope your light stays shining" Rafatar continued in a soft voice. "I promise to fight for the truth, for our family. Let our loyalty and love be the strength that leads me through this difficult time."

After being examined by the medical team and getting the necessary treatment, Ala is accompanied by Ummi and her sisters sitting in the living room. His face was still pale and weak, yet there was strength within his eyes that exuded the determination to remain strong.

Ummi sat down beside Ala, gently rubbing her back. "She, how are you feeling now?" asked Ummi with concern.

Ala took a deep breath, trying to gather her strength. "Ummi, I'm fine. Just a little surprised by what happened. Ummi don't worry too much" he said in a soft voice.

"It turns out you're pregnant, why didn't you tell us?" Ummi.

Ala smiled faintly at Ummi's words. "I just haven't been able to deliver it yet, Ummi. Suddenly, a series of other problems hit us, making me not have time to tell everything. Dan, here it is. It all just happened."

"You're patient, aren't you? Behind all of this, there's gonna be a silver lining." Umm rubbed Ala's hand which looks only as a bone wrapped in skin.

"Ala, for a while, you just stayed with us, huh? So that you are not alone. Ummi was afraid, the same thing happened back, and if no one saw you, how? So, until your husband is free, you better stay with us" Ummi said.

"But, Ummi?"

"There's no buts! Anyway you should stay with us until your husband is free. Then, for a while, Pondok Pesantrennya taken care of Apak first. Later Aulia will send Ummi to check the cottage if she returns from the campus quickly.

"But, can Aulia, Mi?" ask Ala doubtfully.

"Yes, if forced and desperate, it can. Then light duty first. If it's heavy and he can't handle it, he's busy too, he can report to you. There's also Ustadz Candra, right? He must have been light-handed to help Aulia," Ummi explained.

However, the look on Ala's face still looked doubtful. He looked at the youngest brother who was still in the third level on his campus, who was deliberately majoring in Islamic Psychology, at a State Islamic University campus. Because of her psychological science, Aulia also understood the elder sister, seeming to doubt her.

"No worries, I won't destroy the cottage. God willing ... Uni can trust me," said Aulia confidently.

Hearing the sister is quite confident with what she will do, making Ala can be a little confident. "alright. Later, if you have obstacles, you can convey them to Uni. The Union will recover soon."

"This is not to worry. Right said Ummi. If all are already in a state of pinched like this, everything will be required to be able and able. But if I'm really confused, then I'll ask the same Uni," said Aulia again.

Ala smiled with relief. "Thank you yes. The Union will immediately restore conditions, the Union," he said.

The next day, Ala was allowed to go home. Ala who is still quite weak, now uses a wheelchair, waiting for administrative payments made by Ummi and his sister.

"Abi! Look, there was a Aunt who at that time made Abi cry ..."

There was the sound of a small child quite tight pulling the hand of a man whose face was covered thoroughly by a bandage.

"Yumira?"
