The Regrets of the Child and Husband
PAS 38

..._MY LOVELY HUSBAND BIRTHDAY _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________...

Amar's eyes were wide. He thought the ring was an incoming call or incoming message, but it turned out that the sound was a reminder alarm sound on Aliyah's phone. What makes him more crowded is that even though he often ignores Aliyah, but the woman never forgets him. Even his birthday is always remembered. To prevent forgetting, Aliyah even made a reminder on her phone. Aliyah, he always remembers and pays attention to his needs to the smallest thing.

Amar was sitting limp in a large enough room but blocked between patients with one another. The room was not occupied by his own wife, but there were other patients who also needed extra supervision.

Amar crying sobbing. Remembering his birthday in the last two years. Two years ago, Aliyah prepared a surprise birthday for her. As usual, Aliyah does often prepare birthday surprises for him. Not fancy. There was only a steamed brownie cake she made. He likes to make brownies. Amar and the kids loved the steamed brownies made by Aliyah. With simple decoration that is sprinkling chocolate messages and grated cheese already feels good on their tongues.

But two years ago, Amar actually rebuked Aliyah who could only do that. Although that day Aliyah also gave him a gift, a tie, but Amar instead of thanking him, he actually insulted the gift of Aliyah which he considered tacky. Amar still remembered Aliyah's expression of sadness back then. Remembering it, made Amar's chest sore. How could he be so happy with Aliyah. Even though he himself has not given Aliyah a gift or gift that could please his wife. Let alone giving a gift, a congratulation or prayer he never gave again. But among his limitations, Aliyah still always try to please him. Even he was willing to become a washing worker to give good food to him and his children. But he is a jerkkkk man, not grateful because the wife still remembers his special day, but he actually rebukes him with spicy and harsh words.

His birthday last year passed through his mind. How he prefers to spend time with his friends. He treats them all. He even invited Nafisa to dinner at a restaurant that was quite luxurious. Something he never did to Aliyah. Let alone the restaurant, eating meatballs outside together has not been done for a long time. He always said children are young. Bustle. Riva. Being left out is also impossible. So Amar prefers to eat alone. Totally alone. Even Amar did not buy it for Aliyah. She remembered Aliyah's disappointed expression when she saw her husband coming home to eat meatballs with his bare hands. Without asking, he understood, Amar did not buy him meatballs. Amar only cares about his own stomach.

Amar came home from dinner with Nafisa after a fairly late day. It seemed that night was so quiet. Amar did not know that Aliyah and the children had been waiting for his return since, but because there was no sign of Amar's return, Aliyah decided to cut the cake to share with her children. Moreover, his children were impatient to eat the cake made by his mother. Her mother rarely made cookies. All because of limited finances. So Aliyah could not make cakes often. To buy him Aliyah needs a lot of thought.

Amar doesn't know. He forgot that his wife always prepared a surprise for him. He only found out when he opened the refrigerator and there was a plate of cake that had been cut into pieces. But instead of feeling happy because his wife still remembers his birthday, Amar was indifferent. As if nothing ever happened.

Amar was stunned in the quiet room. He smothered his mouth so as not to disturb the patient in the next room. Amar only realized that he had been so jerkkkk all this time.

"You're a jerk, Mar. Absolutely a jerkkkk," he meant to himself.

Two days later, the operation was finally carried out. It seems Amar and both parents Aliyah waited for news of the results of the operation with a feeling of anxiety. Seconds change minutes, then minutes change hours. It's been almost 5 hours, but the lights signs of the operation are in progress yet to be extinguished. This means that the operation is still ongoing. When it will be finished, there is no certainty.

Amar understood, it must not be easy to perform the operation this time. Even the doctors involved were not few. This is due to Aliyah disease which is not just one. The operation that was done was not that simple. It takes extra effort and concentration. Amar, Aliyah's parents, Naima's mother, even Nana who was also waiting for news at home was ceaselessly praying. Apply for smooth operation and healing of Aliyah.

A few hours later, the lights went out. With his heart pounding, Amar rushed to his feet, waiting for the door of the operating room to open. Looking forward to the news from the doctor about Aliyah's condition.

"Doctor, how's my wife doing? Is the operation going well?" cecar Amar as the doctor exited the operating room.

Completed the operation, Aliyah was still nowhere to be found. Aliyah still had to undergo observation so it could not be found first. Patiently waiting for the latest news.

Both of Aliyah's parents were initially very angry and hateful to Amar, but saw how Amar's struggle for healing Aliyah managed to knock on the door of both hearts. They know that every human being has mistakes. Nothing escapes wrong and wrong. Allah is forgiving, how arrogant they are if they cannot forgive the wrongs of those who have truly repented.

"So, have you entered Ashar, want to go to mushola together?" amar asked his father-in-law.

Abah Ahmad nodded, "Emak want to be with him or pray later?"

"Change with Amar first. Let mommy be here. What if the doctor suddenly looks for us and we don't have anything different here."

Abah Ahmad agreed with the words of the wife, "yes already, Abah same Amar to the mosque first yes."

Laila's mother nodded. He sat back in his place. But suddenly there was a commotion from inside the room that not long ago his son was in surgery in there. Suddenly, Laila's mother stood tense with her heart racing.

"What's wrong? What's going on?" ask Laila's mom worried.

"Aliyah's mother suddenly had convulsions. Sorry, we have to call the doctor immediately first" said one of the nurses in charge of guarding Aliyah during the post-surgery.

Laila's mother was sitting limp, "Aliyah, mother please, hold on. If not for your mother, Abah, or husband, at least for your children. Fight, sweetie."
