Teapot Water
S2: Sun Abah...
Abah looked up at Taca sitting at the window. Taca with her sweet smile, was posing with her sweetness. Taca's face really reminded Abah of his wife. The woman he loved.
He took his wallet from his pants pocket, he stared at a photo of a sweet woman using white kebaya staring at him. His smile really always melted Abah's heart. Abah misses the girl, Abah misses the girl, misses the mother of her children, misses her first and last love.
Abah's mind instantly floated, drifting into that fateful day. The day Abah lost his sun. The day the sun left Abah and left two small suns for Abah to guard. The day Ambu left her.
“Change, that was when Rozak was overturned. Tega you mah,” cried Ambu with a perfectly rounded stomach.
The body is very, very heavy, containing 9 months of age and twins, really makes Ambu overwhelmed. Plus the behavior of his two children Rozak and Riki who are in a time of great need of attention.
“Change, Ih. How if Rozak's head leaks you tea,” said Ambu while beating her husband's shoulder upset.
“Ambu, Abah is educating Rozak to be a strong soul,” joked Abah while reversing Rozak's body back to his rightful position.
“The strong soul from which Abah, how if the Rozak became a bodo because, turned back to the same rich Abah that,” screamed Ambu while hitting Abah's shoulder upset.
“Lah, the Rozakya even laugh this,” said Abah while scrambling the hair of her second child with love.
“Mana ngerti anak sebede coriander seeds that means danger, Abah. Udah ah, Ambu want to go first, sugar equal garem abis. Keep all willing to pay arisan,” said Ambu while justifying the strap of his bag.
“You sure? That's you nine months,” Abah said while lowering Rozak from his lap.
“Ngak papa, said his birth midwife is still long, later tonight do not forget,” said Ambu while timidly meong staring at Abah.
Abah immediately smiled happily at the tempting gaze of Ambu, “Iya oruh, later on Abah would jengukkin Abah.”
Abah held up his two thumbs while sharpening his mullet like a catfish. Suddenly, it made Ambu laugh off seeing her husband's behavior.
“Udah ah, Ambu go first,” said Ambu while leaving Abah and Rozak.
Abah immediately gave a distant kiss to his wife who somehow from day to day just more beautiful.
“Who wants to shower?” abah asked while holding Rozak inside the house.
“Rozakkkk...!!” rozak shouted while smiling at Abah.

Abah had gone back and forth in front of his yard, many times he asked the mothers who came home from the market. What makes Ambu until this moment has not come home from the market.
Abah glanced at the watch in his hand, it was 4 pm, Abah's heart was beating fast again, jeez what happened to his wife.
“Which, where's Ambu? Riki is hungry,” said Riki while tugging at Abah's clothes.
Abah rubbed Riki's head, actually he also wanted to ask where his wife was, but he was confused to ask who?
“Before you go home well, son,” Abah told Riki.
“Change... Abah..”.
Abah immediately looked at the person who came calling him. “Apo? What's up?”
Apo ran up to Abah, his breathing hunting fast. Abah was confused to see his friend running towards him like being chased by a demon.
“Why, Po?” asked Abah confused.
“Your wife, your wife,” Apo said as she patted Abah on the shoulder.
“Ambu why? My wife why?” ask Abah. Abah's feeling immediately bad, what's wrong with his wife?
“Your wife was hurt, her husband crashed. Now again in the hospital,” Apo said as he looked at Abah with a look of condolence.
Suddenly Abah felt a thunder grabbing him. In a moment how his wife could have an accident. “Gosh Apo, you don't joke, my wife's time is bad. Ngaco you, Ambu this morning is still there, still healthy during the accident?” ask Abah to panic.
“You go to the hospital now, let me take care of Riki and Rozak,” Apo said as he pushed Abah's body.
“Riki follow Abah, Riki follow,” pinta Riki while tugging Abah shirt.
“Iya, come. Apo, please take care of Rozak, Rozak sleeps on the floor,” Abah said as he held Riki and ran like a fidelity, out of his yard.
Trying to run, running after Ambu, Ambu his wife. His lover.

“My wife, is there my wife?” asked Abah for a moment to get to the reception desk of hospital guests.
“Which wife is yah?” ask the sister while looking at Abah.
“My wife who was injured, who was in a big pregnancy,” said Abah while tapping the table in front of her.
The nurse immediately remembered the patient who had just entered, a mother who was pregnant with twins. The mother was in an accident and is currently struggling to give birth to her twins.
“Yes, it's in the emergency room, sir. But, you better meet with Doctor Alvy, I briefly call,” said the Sister while moving from her seat.
Abah followed the nun while holding Riki. Abah's face was completely panicked this second, his breathing was hunting and his heart was beating very, very hard. Abah's prayer line is his heart and mind. God save his wife's son, save his sun.

“Pak, Sorry I have to ask you to sign the operation approval letter. But, I cannot determine who will be saved,” said Doctor Alvy while handing over the files that Abah had to sign.
“Means?”
“The bleeding is too severe, sir. I have to see who needs to be saved, I cannot give any guarantees, ” said Dr. Alvy.
After Abah signed the letter, Abah looked at the doctor in front of him. Suddenly Abah's legs like no bones, Abah rested on Doctor Alvy's feet, Riki fell slowly on the floor.
“Change,” whispered Riki slowly, confused why his brother can rest on someone's feet.
“Pak...”.
“I beg you, I beg you to save them Doc, I beg you. I'd rather die than lose them, I beg you very much, Doc. Save my sun, save my wife Dok,” the tears of Abah broke, the tears from Abah's eyes vying out of her eyes.
Abah is fragile, his sun will leave him. When the sun is taken, who will warm it? Who will enlighten him, guide him, and love him?
Abah was unable to breathe, his breathing was tight. It felt like he wanted to put himself on the hospital floor and scream blasphemy against God. What's wrong with God? whahuh?
Is he lacking in faith? Is he not close to you, God? Whahuh? What harm? What's wrong until Abah is given this goddamn ordeal?
“Which, where's Ambu? Dede why? Abah, Riki was afraid,” Isak Riki while approaching Abah and hugging him. Little Riki had absolutely no idea what was happening. All he knew right now was that Abah was crying and Ambu wasn't there.
“Pak, I will try my hardest,” replied Doctor Alvy while patting Abah on the shoulder and leaving Abah with Riki.
Abah could only pray, Pray for the salvation of his Eye. His soul...
