The Regrets of the Child and Husband
PASS 42

Days changed, not one Sunday had passed since the day Aliyah finally regained consciousness. But from that day on, Aliyah kept silent when she met Amar. Even every Amar wanted to talk to her, Aliyah turned her face away. It was as if she was so allergic to seeing her husband.

"Al, it's lunch time. You eat first. This is me buying you beef bone soup. He said the bone marrow of cows is good for bone health because it supports joint function," said Amar while putting a tray containing rice, beef bone soup, and fried tofu as a side dish. Not to forget he brought bottled water for Aliyah.

Just now Amar wanted to raise a little bed so that Aliyah could eat easily, but just now Amar was about to press the lever, Aliyah first prevented.

"No need. Just get the nurse here," she said, coldly making Amar almost freeze. There was no longer a meek, friendly, warm Aliyah. All there was now was a completely cold Aliyah. They hardly ever talk to each other. Even if Aliyah made a sound, just a word or a few words. Really irrit talk. Not just for her, but for Nana. Aliyah would only smile at her mother and her two in-laws as well as her two sons.

Amar could not blame Aliyah. There is no smoke without fire. Everything happens from his own actions. This is the consequence of all his actions that have been very outrageous.

"Al, I'm your husband. What's wrong with you accepting my help?" ask Amar lirih.

Instead of answering, Aliyah just silenced and chose to turn her face.

Amar could only sigh. He called a nurse to help his wife eat.

By late afternoon, Amar and his parents had gathered at the hospital to pick up Aliyah. He was allowed to go home today. But he still has to do therapy 2 times a week. First therapy for the cure of brain cancer to prevent it from coming back again. It is common knowledge, cancer is a disease that is difficult to really cure. Patients should do regular treatment so that cancer cells do not grow back and spread more widely to other organs. Aliyah also had to do therapy for the healing of her legs. The waist was still in pain, but Aliyah's leg was completely numb. He couldn't move it at all.

Truly, Amar deeply regretted his negligent actions to pay attention to the health of his wife. Amar promised, will accompany Aliyah until she is completely healed as a form of atonement for her mistakes. No matter Aliyah ignored her existence or ignored her. He will continue to try to get closer and do whatever he can to restore his old Aliyah.

Aliyah who could not walk was forced to sit in a wheelchair. Abah Ahmad who pushed the wheelchair and Laila's mother walked beside Aliyah. Amar was seen carrying Aliyah's belongings, such as a bag containing Aliyah's clothes and equipment.

Upon arrival in front of the car, Amar also rushed to open the trunk and enter the goods. Afterwards, he opened the front door for Aliyah. Amar reached out to carry Aliyah into the car, but she refused.

"Well, Aliyah wants to sit behind me. Can Abah please .. carry Aliyah into the car," pinta Aliyah who is actually embarrassed to bother her parents. But what power, his legs can not be moved at all makes him forced to trouble parents who should rest in his old age.

"Son, you're in front of Amar. Let the same father mother in the back. After all, my hands are not strong lifting heavy. Sorry, son. Not not unwilling," said Abah Ahmad who actually wanted to provide an opportunity for Amar to get back close to the princess.

"But Bah ... "

"Al, Abah is right. Yes, Amar, please carry Aliyah well! You're willing, right? Or have you lost your energy to carry your child?" seloroh Emak Laila tries to break the awkwardness. Seeing the changes of Amar, as parents, they are also powerless to constantly judge. As parents, they can only pray for the best for their daughter-in-law.

"Amar is still ready, Mom. Even if you want Amar to carry up to the house, Amar can," replied Amar while chuckling.

"Yes, willing. But until home your feet on laying eggs if not yes dislodged," said Abah Ahmad.

"No problem. For the sake of my mother and Abah's son whom I love the most, I will" Amar said shamelessly before his two in-laws.

Amar glanced at Aliyah's face, no expression there. There was only a flat and cold face.

'Does this feel ignored? It turned out really sad. I'm sorry, Aliyah, you must have felt very tortured at that time because of my attitude.'

Abah Ahmad patted Amar on the shoulder to strengthen his daughter-in-law. He was disappointed in Amar, but seeing how Amar's regrets and struggles for the recovery of the princess, making slowly the anger and disappointment receded by itself. Although the struggle has not been comparable to what Aliyah felt so far, but at least Amar continues to try to improve.

Abah Ahmad and Laila's mother then got into the back of the car, while Amar carefully lifted Aliyah and sat her in the front seat beside the steering wheel. When touched, Aliyah's body stiffened. Even his hands were still on his lap. He acted as if he was reluctant to come into contact with Amar. Even her face was turned in the other direction so as not to meet her husband.

...***...

The car split the street in the afternoon. A tinge of twilight dotted the sky that began to form the orange spectrum.

Aliyah turned her face to the side. For a long time he had not enjoyed the beauty of the twilight sky like this. For a long time he did not enjoy the beauty of the road like this.

Aliyah lowered the glass window. The wind blew against Aliyah's face. A flash of memory of how Amar ignored him again made his heart ache. There was actually a reluctance for Aliyah to set foot in her house again. The pain that Amar inflicted actually made him almost numb.

It felt like he wanted to go far away or return to his hometown, but seeing his flawed state made Aliyah feel frustrated. Returning to the village is the same as back to trouble both parents. Where could he have done that. Both of his parents are old. It is not worth returning to the trouble. He may have troubled his parents.

A drop of tears dripped from both corners of his eyes. He regretted, why in his old age, not that he gave happiness to both parents, but quite the opposite. It makes them nervous and nervous again.

'Oh my God, why don't you just take my life away instead of living it but bothering others.'

Not until 30 minutes later, Amar's car entered his yard. The cheers of Nana and her siblings were heard welcoming Aliyah's return.

"Mother ... "

"Abang Gaffi, Amri ... "

Once in a wheelchair, Aliyah greeted Gaffi and Amri with a smile. But as Nana approached, the smile instantly receded. Aliyah's disappointment in the princess made her lose her smile. Nana's eyes are heating up. He immediately prostrated himself at Aliyah's feet while crying.

"Mother, sorry Nana. Sorry for Nana's mistake. Nana's sorry, Mom. Sorry for the mistake, Nana. Nana please. Nana please, Mom."

Aliyah was silent. His mouth was tightly closed like it was locked.

"Na, wake up, son. I still have to rest. Later Nana can talk to mother again yes," Mother Naima persuaded the grandson.

"But eyang ... "

"What did you say was true, Na. Later Nini help Nana talk to mom. But not just for now, yeah. You have to rest a lot in order to recover quickly," persuaded Laila's mother.

"Yes, Nana, Abang Gaffi, same Amri playing with Aki first yes," asked Abah Ahmad.

With tears breaking, Nana followed Abah Ahmad who had walked first while holding Gaffi and holding Amri.

Meanwhile, Amar pushes Aliyah's wheelchair towards their room. But just now that the wheelchair was in front of their room door, Aliyah had already interrupted.

"I don't want to sleep here."

"What's? Ah, I mean why? This is our room, Al. Why don't you sleep here?"

"I want to sleep in Gaffi's room" Aliyah broke off who immediately pushed her wheelchair towards Gaffi and Amri's room.

Amar could only stare at Aliyah nanar who was very obvious about to stay away from her.

But Amar, who was determined to fight for Aliyah again, will never despair. Whether Aliyah wanted to refuse or stay away from him, she would never give up.

Amar immediately restrained the wheelchair and turned it back to the room.

"Al, don't forget, you can't walk right now. If we separate rooms, who wants to help you to WC if you suddenly want to pee or want to pup? Or would you like to wear a paper like Amri, would you?" goda Amar while raising his eyebrows.

Aliyah's eyes suddenly swelled, where she wanted to wear a diaper like Amri. What is a baby?

With a sullen face, Aliyah finally could only resign as Amar pushed his wheelchair into their room with a triumphant smile.

From a distance, Mother Laila and Mother Naima looked at the two couples with their smiles.

"May Amar really change and try to correct his mistake yes, Naima."

"Yes, La. I wish it was like that too. May the struggle of Amar bear sweet fruit."

"But what if Amar repeats his mistake?" Laila's mother was actually still worried that Amar would repeat his mistake.

"You take it easy, I guarantee Amar will never repeat his mistake again. Even if that happens, I promise, I will punish him with my own hands. If necessary, I will not consider him a child again," said Mother firmly.
