Shanum Smile
Chapter 2
Two weeks have passed, Mr. Yanto is still hospitalized. During his father's hospital stay, Shanum only once visited the father. This is because Shanum is preparing to take a series of graduation exams.
Currently Shanum sits in 6th grade Elementary School, Shanum wants to enter a favorite Junior High School in the district where he lives. Shanum wants to feel the school in the city, where not just anyone can go to school there. Only people with intelligent brain abilities can get in there.
Shanum has a high spirit, he aspires to become a doctor. Unfortunately, his parents were not supportive. The economic conditions as well as the age of both parents made Shanum bury him deeply in his ideals.
"How's testing? Can you do it?" cerca Mutia Shanum's.
That afternoon after a few houses and a shower they both sat in the living room watching TV.
"Easy! That's a little guy!" shanum replied arrogantly.
"Are you sure you can score above average?" search Mutia.
Mutia knew her sister was currently in a state that was not okay. Shanum is more often daydreaming, and appears lethargic.
How Shanum is not sad, Mr. Yanto is not only a father to him but also a friend. Every day he was always with his father because his mother was selling in the market every day without holidays. It was the father who taught him a lot about homework and how to survive when faced with problems.
Not that Shanum was not close to his mother, Shanum was the smallest child in the house. Shanum is very pampered and dear, no wonder at the age of 13 years, Shanum can not do homework. Shanum can only sweep houses and courtyards.
"Shanum can do all the exams, it's just..." Shanum fell silent not continuing his words.
"Shanum, I'm sure Shanum can. Shanum is a pinter's son. Don't think too much about Dad. You are good, tomorrow you can go home" said Mutia comforting her sister.
Shanum nodded at the brother's words.

The next day...
Finally, Mr. Yanto was declared cured and allowed to go home. The children of Mr. Yanto all gathered in the mansion. All of Mr. Yanto's children went home immediately after hearing the news that Mr. Yanto was sick and hospitalized.
Pak Yanto managed to educate his children to be children who are righteous and righteous. Let life be simple but have good morals, that is the principle of Mr. Yanto. We live wearing nothing, carrying nothing, so if one day we have nothing it is natural. It is not easy, because we die will not bring anything.
Mr. Yanto's return from the hospital was welcomed by some of Mr. Yanto's left-right neighbors. This is because Mr. Yanto and his wife are very concerned about the surrounding environment. They always lightly provide assistance to neighbors around him, so it is not surprising that many people visit Mr. Yanto, when he is sick.
Mr. Yanto is known for being friendly, he can also treat sick people. Many come to ask for water to treat toothache, fever and some even ask for help Mr. Yanto to choose a good day. (Javanese people always use the calculation of the day every event.)
Currently, Mr. Yanto and Mr. Lestari are already in his house with neighbors. Mr. Yanto immediately entered the room to rest, while Mr. Lestari accompanied the neighbors.
"What is tha pak Yanto? How to change the goods!" ask one of the neighbors who are waiting for Mr. Yanto's return from the hospital.
(What pain is Mr Yanto? How to open everything!)
"Jare doctor lara karo heart narrowing of the lungs. HB ne low jare doctor, nambah getih nganti a dozen bags of wedi," replied bu Lestari.
Shanum only listened to the conversation between those who were grown up. He did not dare to come along, simply being a listener and recording their every word to his brain. So he can answer if someday asked what his father is sick.

The day changed, Mr. Yanto had recovered as before. Bu Lestari has returned to selling in the market, Shanum's brothers have returned to wander and return to their respective homes. Shanum's exam was finished just waiting for the announcement of the results of the exam, between passing or not.
One hot day, Ms. Lestari complained of not feeling well. He asked Shanum to wash dishes and cookware that were dirty because of lunch. Shanum was also asked to take a nap together in Bu Lestari's room.
Shanum obediently followed her mother's every word. Without Shanum realizing it was the last seconds with his mother. Shanum did not realize that it was one of the signs of the mother's departure.
Ms. Lestari just complained that she was tired, wanting to rest. He also asked all his children to come together. Shanum immediately contacted his brothers to return home at the mother's request.
A week later all the children of Mr. Yanto and bu Lestari gathered, they were all asked by Bu Lestari to read Yassin's letter as well as some other short letters that had been memorized.
After finishing teaching and dinner, all family members gathered in Pak Yanto and bu Lestari's room. Bu Lestari asked for a foot massage. The children alternately massage the legs and hands of Lestari's mother.
As the clock showed at half-ten p.m., Bu Lestari asked Mutia to bring Shanum to sleep in her own room.
"Mut, get your sister to bed! Keloni he let sleep soundly. Don't forget to take her to the doctor tomorrow! Poor him, pain has no cure. You take good care of Shanum, don't hurt him." said Ms. Lestari.
Shanum remained silent without refuting his mother's words.
"Sweety Ma'am!" answer Mutia.
"Come Sha! Sleep don't miss wis, ora don't stay!" mutia said as she pulled Shanum's hand out of her parents' room.
(I sleep with a donkey, I don't stay!)
"Yeah!" answer Shanum.
Shanum did not realize that it was the last time he saw his mother breathing.
Eventually Shanum and Mutia left their parents' room. They headed for Shanum and Mutia's room. All this time they were one room because Shanum was afraid to sleep alone. When Mutia is in Jogja, Shanum asks for the company of his mother.
"Sir, what's the real pain mom? Kok suddenly got sick so, until the hospital was even told to take him home again. Is my mother's pain not dangerous?" shanum asked innocently.
"Whatever it is, we pray that I may be cured. Now we go to sleep so that tomorrow we don't wake up bad, it's night!" mutia.
They sleep facing each other and hugging. Not long after that Shanum fell asleep, while Mutia was still awake.
Mutia's vegetables heard screams from her parents' second room. Mutia ran towards the room. As soon as she reached the room, Mutia found her mother lying stiff in the lap of her third brother.
