The Regrets of the Child and Husband
PAS 16

Last night Amar couldn't close his eyes. Especially after getting information from doctors that Aliyah is critical.

Amar was confused and half dead. It was early morning, while Aliyah's situation was still worrying. While he also had to work, but there is no way he left his wife just like that.

Drrrt ...

Since last night, Amar replaced all notifications of his phone with vibrating mode. Seen on the phone screen, it turns out Nana contacted him. Amar immediately raised the call.

"Huh-h"

"Yes ... Mother ... Mfa ... Mother ... Mbu ... "Amar just raised the call of Nana, but the first sound was precisely the shrill cry of Gaffi and Amri.

"Well, dad, how's this? Gaffi same Amri from earlier cry continuously. Nana has tried to be invented, but does not want to be diem either. It's like this, but Nana hasn't had a shower yet. Nana wants to go to school, Dad. How's this?" the sound of a full voice will be frustrated from Nana makes Amar massage the base of his nose. Too focused on Aliyah and work, making Amar forget that at home there are children who need his mother. But at this time the mother of her children alone is not sure of her condition. Although the operation went well, Aliyah's declining health condition made her critical.

"Dad, which mother? Mom woke up, right? Gaffi same Amri call mother continue, Nana should what?" Nana was almost crying. Throughout the night he always thought about the situation of the mother, then this morning he was faced with the cries of his two sisters.

In the past, Nana usually felt annoyed with the cry of the two, but this time the cry actually made her heart goosebumps. What if his mother really left them? How are his and his sisters?

Nana immediately remembered Nafisa. It is not imagined that the woman replaced her mother. If previously Nana so coveted Nafisa to be her mother. In addition to being beautiful, Nafisa is also good and likes to give her pocket money.

But that was before.

Now then?

Nana was disgusted.

What if Nafisa really replaces her mother?

Nana nodded quickly. She did not want her mother replaced by another woman. The other woman is Nafisa. What he saw yesterday really disgusted him.

"Mother ... I have not been conscious" replied Amar Lirih.

Nana shock. Though from yesterday morning his mother was unconscious, then until now his mother has not been conscious.

What if her mother really left.

Nana's afraid. Really scared.

"Yes ... "

"At the end of the day, Dad's home. Please take care of the brothers. Call your teacher, tell him you don't want to go to school" Amar said before the call closed.

Amar scooped his face in frustration. Then he got up and stood in front of the glass that showed Aliyah whose entire body had been plastered with various medical equipment. His heart is like a squeeze.

After a long time indifferent to the development of his children, even Amar did not care at all what his son needed and wanted, but today he was forced to intervene to take care of his children.

Amar then asked permission for the nurse to go home briefly to take care of her children. After that, he went home immediately.

Upon arrival at home, Amar's head suddenly pulsated with pain. All the messy stuff. Even the dirty cup is still on the table. Even his cup yesterday morning was still sprawled on the table. Not to mention, the shrill voice of Gaffi and Amri added to the complexity of his mind.

"Dad" called Nana who was already crying. Seeing her sisters no one wants to be silent makes Nana so cry. Since then, all the sisters have been shouting is mother, mother, and mother. Nana was really confused.

Amar let out a long sigh, then he immediately approached Gaffi and Amar who were tantrums for not finding Aliyah.

"Gaffi, Amri," call Amar.

Hearing Amar's voice, Gaffi dragged. He shuffled out of bed and into the blanket like a freaking freak. His body trembled making Amar stunned.

"Amri, it's Dad, son!" amar said slowly. But Amri continued to rebel as if Amar was a stranger to him.

"Mrs ... Mfa ... Follow Mbu .. " cried Amri while continuing to rebel.

Amar had tried all means to silence Amri, but the 2-year-old still rebelled.

"AMRI, CAN YOU NOT BE? DADDY DOESN'T KNOW! DIZZINESS!" amar shouted loudly until the veins on his neck protruded. Nana and Gaffi who heard Amar's screams gasped.

"Assalamualaikum, astaghfirullah pak Amar, why did you snatch your son like that? No way, sir, "remember Amar's neighbor who just came to see the situation of Aliyah's children.

Amar was surprised to find his neighbor coming to the house.

"I don't mean like that, Mom. But since then Amri did not want to be silent so I was forced to raise my voice," said Amar defended himself.

"But still can't, sir. You know, yelling at small children, especially toddlers, has the potential to damage the brain development of children. So please help you be more patient. Moreover, what Amri did was reasonable. He who was everyday with his mother then suddenly his mother disappeared, obviously he was confused. Children cannot express their anxiety and confusion. They can only cry so please understand your child. You are his parents, you should understand that," explained neighbor Amar trying to calm down. Although in his heart actually he was upset to see Amar's attitude.

Then the middle-aged woman grabbed Amri into her sling. Unexpectedly, Amri immediately hugged the woman's neck while having a little.

"Cup, cup, cup, diem yes handsome boy, good boy. Don't cry anymore, honey. Amri kangen mom, huh?" said the mother while rubbing Amri's back hoping Amri can be calmer.

"Mrs ... Dedek wants mom. Mfa ... Mbu ... follow, Mbu," said Amri as he pleased.

Amar closed his eyes. Amar has not been close to her children. His work was once an excuse. He never used to come home from work to accompany his children either studying or playing. After work, he usually only used to relax while playing mobile phone until his eyes sleepy. Then he went to bed and woke up in the morning to work. Even every weekend, Amar prefers to relax. But unlike the last few weeks, he prefers to meet Nafisa and spend time with her coworkers. He hardly ever had time to get close to his children. For him, his job is only to work and earn a living, while the affairs of home and children are the affairs of Aliyah as a housewife.

Busy pensive with his thoughts, suddenly his phone shook again. This time it was his boss who contacted him.

"Hello ... "

"Amar, what the fuck are you? What time is it, why haven't you been to the office? And where's the report I asked for yesterday? Why isn't it on my desk yet?" emphatically superiors of Amar.

Amar. He almost forgot. So he said he was looking after his wife who was critical. Amar also said that the report that his boss asked for had been completed and was now in his desk drawer.

A few minutes after the call closed, his boss called him back.

"You want to lie to me, huh? There's no report that's your desk drawer."

"But sir, I've really made it and kept it in there."

"Not reason. Didn't I tell you not to make one more mistake? But it turns out you still do. So just be prepared you'll receive the first warning letter."

"But sir ... "

Tut tut tut ...

"Aafr ... " Amar groans in frustration. How did the report disappear? He has already made it hard.

"Dad, Gaffi has a high fever," Nana cried suddenly.

Amar surprised. He immediately approached Gaffi who was still hiding behind a blanket. As their eyes rubbed, Gaffi returned in fear and covered his face with both palms. Amar immediately held Gaffi's forehead and sure enough, Gaffi was having a high fever. Even his body shook violently. Amar's confused. Totally confused. Why do problems come so hard on him like this?
