The Head of the New Central Surgical Installation

"Kreek.." I heard the door open. Ardi, who had just returned from the hospital, was shocked to find his wife crying alone in the room.

"Babe... You why? Kok nangis ..hmm," asked Ardi who immediately sat beside Najma and hugged her. Najma's cry became more and more.

Ardi thought for a moment, maybe this is called baby blues syndrome.

Ardi let Najma cry until satisfied, he stroked Najma's hair and patted her on the shoulder. After a bit of calm, Najma started telling stories. He poured out everything in his mind to Ardi. Ardi listened patiently, he had prepared to face these days.

"Babe.ga need to think about their words, they do not know your greatness, you are a successful businessman, you are also a Hafidzah, a memorizer of the Qur'an, we both know the weight of the memorization process, and we both know the weight of the process, and most importantly you gave birth to my son" said Ardi persuading Najma.

"But look at my body Mas, my stomach is distended, Mas must be ..." Najma hasn't finished talking, Ardi stopped him.

"Have babe, don't think about it, for me you're still the most beautiful woman in the world, just think now how to breastfeed baby Icha, she really needs you, she needs you, later if baby Icha can eat, I accompany you to exercise," said Ardi.

"God entrusts the sustenance of baby Icha to you, through your breast, look at the spills," Ardi pointed to Najma's chest that was wet because the breast had very much come out by itself.

"Ah.iya, baby Icha," said Najma.

"I brought her in, yeah, she must have been dying to suckle her umma,"

"Yes Mas, I change clothes first" Najma said after his mind calmed down.

Ardi comes out of the room and picks up the baby Icha in the pram, which turns out that Hamida's mom has been waiting for Ardi to leave the room.

"Where's Ar?" hamida asked half-whispered asking about her daughter-in-law's situation.

"Already Ma, it's calm, baby Icha I brought in yes," said Ardi.

"Yes, Ar, is very thirsty this child," said Hamida.

Ardi held the little baby and put him to sleep in the lap of Najma who had changed clothes. Najma smiled back. Ardi folded his sleeves and began to clean the room, picking up old tissue strewn on the floor, wiping the table and arranging pillows on the sofa.

"Mas, let me just clean up later," said Najma.

"Ga pa pa babe, you've had a hard day today" Ardi said.

"You if I don't exist, you can tell Mama, don't hold it alone, don't tell it to mama, you're experienced too" Ardi continued.

"Yes Mas" said Najma.

"I take a shower, yes, soon Maghrib," said Ardi.

"Hmm yes" said Najma.

Ardi has disappeared behind the bathroom door. Baby Icha is asleep, and Najma puts her to bed in the cradle.

Najma takes a change of clothes for Ardi. He knocked on the bathroom door.

"Tok..but.tok..."

"Mas...Mas Ardi," call Najma, but there's no word from the bathroom. Najma opened the door, and sure enough the husband was flushing his body under the shower, so as not to hear Najma's call.

"Hmm.ma shea the sexy God of my husband.." - cf. Najma. He put a change of clothes on the sink table, then returned to the room.

Shortly after, Ardi came out of the bathroom wearing the clothes that Najma had prepared for him.

"We go down yuk, before the Maghrib, I want to go to the mosque" Ardi asked.

Najma smiles and nods, then holds baby Icha and follows Ardi downstairs.

In the middle room, the padlock Akbar leapt with joy towards Najma and Ardi. The little boy loved both.

"Umma Baba... Baba Umma.." said Akbar.

Najma hands baby Icha to mama Hamida. And hugged and kissed Akbar in Ardi's arms. He did not want Akbar lacking affection since his sister was born.

The Maghrib prayer rang, Ardi and Akbar went to the mosque for congregational prayer.

The morning after breakfast, Ardi went to the hospital to work. Today there is a medical committee meeting at the general hospital.

"Assalamualaikum Doc" said a man who walked behind Ardi as he got out of his car.

"Waalaikumussalam," said Ardi while looking back. And how shocked it turned out that the one who called him was his junior doctor Akbar when he was in medical school first.

"Doctor Akbar?" ask Ardi to make sure he gets back.

"Yes, it's me Bang" said Dr. Akbar.

"Hey...how are you? How come it's here? Eh lest you're the new doctor who wants to be introduced at the medical committee meeting later?" Ardi asked various questions that came to his mind.

"One-on-one dong tanyanya," said Dr. Akbar.

"I'm sorry," Ardi chuckled.

"I'm good news Bang, don't you know if I call you brother again?"

"Ga pa pa Akbar, we are also old friends right,"

"And yes, I am the new doctor who will help Bang Ardi, I am now a neurosurgeon who has just been assigned to this hospital" said Dr. Akbar.

"Well Allah, Alhamdulillah, you also know Sabrina, eh you're from the same age, right?"

"Yes Bang, we're one class, but I took the specialists not one campus with you," said Dr. Akbar, and they both entered the hospital together.

"Yes, you have no resting place, right, in my room only, there is still one empty table,"

"By Bang, besides I don't know anyone at this hospital, yet" said Dr. Akbar.

"Alhamdulillah, I'm happy to finally find another friend, all this time I was alone, now there are friends so not as heavy as before," said Ardi.

"The money is also divided Bang, hahaha," joked Dr Akbar.

"Hahaha yes, but the name of sustenance has been rooted and never changed" said Ardi.

The two finally reached the meeting room, all the doctors who were not on duty at the polyclinic and IGD gathered there.

And in that meeting, Dr. Akbar introduced himself. In addition, in the meeting the doctor Thamrin always the director of the hospital also said goodbye, because from tomorrow he has retired. All the committee members were shocked, because there was no word on who would replace the position of director of the hospital.

There was also a rolling of several installation heads, including Ardi also got a new duty letter.

Doctor Akbar, who was only working that day, was assigned to be the head of the central surgical installation to replace Ardi's position so far.

"Don't this really make me head of the central surgical installation?" doctor Akbar whispered to Ardi who was sitting next to him and handed him a new job letter given by the chief of staff.

Ardi received a letter of duty from doctor Akbar and was surprised because his position had been transferred to doctor Akbar. Then his duty letter..what is it? Will be moved where he is...Ardi is still confused and has not opened his duty...
