The Part 99
"What if the person I love is loved more by God? Should I ask for it or take it back?"
When Novia tried to dialogue with her mother through touch, a drop of clear bulir dripped on Bu Ratih's cheek. Although his body was helpless but his soul could sense Novia's presence.
Instantly Novia froze, so aware of the response of her mother's body
"Well, don't be sad, I promise I won't leave you alone. Mama has to be strong through this" Novia said
"If you're tired, go to bed and rest" he continued.
Novia pondered while gently rubbing her mother's head, the woman then remembered something. In his bag was a Mushaf he had brought from home.
"Better I najai, maybe mama will hear it" said Novia
Novia got up from the chair and stepped out to pick up the bag she had placed on Randi, when outside with Randi, Novia only realized that Riska had not been there.
"Sister, where is Riska?" ask Novia.
"Since Brother is here, Riska hasn't come yet" replied Randi.
"Oh," said Novia briefly
"Oh, yeah, where's my bag brother? Inside is the Mushaf I brought from home."
"It." Randi thrusts the bag at her sister and is greeted by Novia.
"I go in again, sister, later we change," said Novia and passed back into the room
Novia entered the room again and returned to her original position, sitting beside her mother while reciting the holy verses of the Koran until she did not feel her tears dripping.
Novia finds peace as she chants prayers for her mother's recovery, the only way she can do it right now.
Novia could not close her eyes overnight, until she heard the sound of a new dawn prayer she moved and prepared for worship.
Novia comes out, wakes up Randi who is sleeping in the front waiting chair of the ICU room and asks him to come in to accompany his mother.
"Sister, get up, I'm going to mushollah. Brother went in first accompany mama inside," said Novia
Randi woke up, rubbed his eyes and gathered consciousness. Then she went into her mother's room in the care.
After the prayer, Novia walks around the hospital looking for food vendors for breakfast.
After getting what she was looking for, Novia returned to her mother's room and told her sister to have breakfast.
"Vi, from last night you have not slept, you should go home and rest at home so that brother here accompanies mom. Riska is also coming soon" said Randi while the two were enjoying a meal.
"Yes, this morning I went home first, at noon I came here again change with brother," replied Novia.
Novia immediately finished her meal, then went in to say goodbye to her mother.
Although Mrs Ratih has not been conscious, Novia always invites her mother to communicate.
"Well, this morning I want to go home to take care of the kids at home, I'm here again at noon" Novia said as she stroked her mother's feet.
Novia felt a small movement, for a moment she was stunned and closely watched her mother's body then a second later Novia's smile expanded when she knew her mother was starting to wake up from her coma.
"Well, can you hear me?" novia said excitedly
Madam Ratih slowly opened her eyes and said, "where is your mom?"
"Alhamdulillah!" cheer Novia.
"Mama's in the hospital, two days mama's unconscious,"
Novia rushed to the guard nurse, telling her the state of her conscious mother.
"Sus, my mother's conscious from the coma!" exclaims
"What's it, ma'am?" ask the nurse reassuringly
"Yes, just now. Come on, see my mother" said Novia as she walked quickly to her mother's bed
"Oh, yes, brother Randi!"
Novia rushed out again, hastily Novia opened the door of the room and quickly walked over to her brother
"Sister, mama's dead!" exclaims
"Alhamdulillah," said Randi immediately stood up to welcome his sister
"Come, brother, let's go inside!"
Novia pulled her brother's hand in, both of them immediately approached her mother who was undergoing an examination
"How's sus?" Irwan asked the nurse who was handling his mother
"Thankfully, he has passed through a critical period and is still in our sights for a while" the nurse replied
An hour later, Novia said goodbye to her mother to come home because there are other responsibilities that she also has to work on.
"Well, I go home first yes, in the afternoon I come again mama well here there is brother Randi who will accompany mama," said the saying and was embraced by Bu Ratih.
This day, Novia was so exhausted from coming to the hospital several times and returning home.
Riska is already in the hospital, replacing Randi who also has to go home to rest.
"Vi, you just go home, let brother here wait for brother Randi to come," said Riska
"But brother ...."
Riska immediately cut off Novia's words and resolutely said, "your eyes have already appeared sweet, you should rest do not argue!"
Novia finally resigned and obeyed her brother's orders, tonight she must return home and rest.
Almost ten o'clock in the evening Novia arrived home, her children were asleep only Irwan was still awake and sitting on the terrace enjoying cigarettes and a cup of coffee.
Novia came over to her husband, sat down and leaned on the empty chair next to Irwan.
"It's late this way, you're still desperate to go home Vi."
"Sir Riska told me to, saying my eyes had become so sweet and tired, did they?" Novia turned to Irwan to show her face
"Yes, right said sister Riska, your eyes have been glued your face also looks pale due to lack of sleep."
Irwan confirmed the words of his brother-in-law, Novia's face was already pale and looked tired so she had to rest.
The two entered, Irwan locked the doors and windows and followed his wife into the room.
Novia cleans up, changes her clothes and lies on the bed. Just now he was about to close the eyes of the front door on a hard knock.
Novia and Irwan were aghast, the two looked at each other until they heard the next knock and Irwan got up.
"Who's coming in these nights?" sulk Irwan while walking out.
When I opened the door Irwan was surprised to see Randi standing in front of him, the man turned his gaze inside the house as if looking for something.
"Where's Novia?"
"In my room, what's up?" Irwan asked back
"Come, we're going to the hospital now mama's critical again!"
Without waiting for long Irwan rushed into the room, curious Novia immediately approached her husband
"Who's out there?"
"Have, don't ask Vi much, we go to the hospital," said Irwan who immediately carried Adiba.
"Why Wan? Don't make me panic!" novia was still confused
"Wake up Camillah and carry Emir, I'll tell you in the car."
Irwan swiftly brought his daughter into the car, then took the Emir from Novia's sling and put him to sleep near Adiba.
"Good Vi, I'll lock the door."
Novia climbed into the mobi, a moment later she realized the situation was going on.
"Astaghfirullah mamaah" he muttered as he covered his mouth with trembling hands.
Irwan got in the car, sat in the back and started the engine. The car broke down the road to the hospital.
