The Story of the Children of the Juragan
265. Visit opa Atmaja
Opa Atmaja has now been moved to the treatment room. Everyone was waiting for him, while Salman had to go home. His wife and son at home.
"Opa, Salman go home first. Opa gets well soon, so I can play with Maryam again."
"Of course, you don't worry Salman. Go home, surely the baby is memorizing the Qur'an with his mommy." Opa Atmaja smiled.
After kissing the back of opa's hand, Salman returned home. He walked to the elevator. He was shocked to see his two parents-in-law, getting out of the elevator.
"Daddy, mommy." Said Salman, kissing the back of his two-in-law's hands.
"Where's your opa treatment room, Sal?" Ask Daddy Marquez.
"Let me show you, Dad." Salman volunteered, he walked back to his op room in the care.
"What did Wulan tell Daddy and mommy?"
"Yes, Sal. We were very worried, so we came straight here. Because Mr. Atmaja is the same age as grandpa and grandma. So remind Daddy of them."
All of Salman's family turned towards the door, when they heard the sound of the door opening. They smile when they find out who came into the room.
Mommy Melati put a vase of fresh flowers on the nightstand, then she and her husband shook hands and embraced her iron family.
"Salman, aren't you coming home?" Ask mama Laura.
The man drew a smile for a moment, confused to accompany his in-laws or go home.
"Oh, yes. If you want to go home it's okay. Follow Daddy's son and grandson."
"Yes, Dad. Salman had also left them since this morning. Then Salman says yes, dad, mom." Salman kissed the backs of his two-in-law's hands, and returned to shake hands with his family before passing away.
After Salman's departure, Wulan's parents talked about Mr. Atmaja's condition.

Arriving at home, Salman was greeted by his son and wife, who were sitting in the living room. Baby Maryam, who has not been able to sleep, is skating.
The toddler ran towards Salman who was still standing in the doorway. And when he arrived, he cried out in excitement, for his Daddy lifted him high and turned him around.
Both of them really laughed. Wulan who saw him also happy with a smile.
"Be careful, mom. Baby Maryam will fall." Wulan reminded.
Salman dropped the baby Maryam, then took her to sit near her mommy. Still not satisfied with lifting the baby high, Salman took his seat and tickled him. The toddler's laughter broke again.
"Already, mas. Our son's kasian, tired of knowing even though he just laughs. How's opa doing?"
Salman started letting go of the baby Maryam so the little boy came back to play, then he let out a long sigh.
"His blood pressure dropped, so he fainted. Thank God, now opa is conscious. May he recover quickly, and be able to gather with us."
"Aamiin yes rabbal alamin."
"Actually opa also refused to be treated in the hospital. He said if sick, bring baby Maryam closer. His laughter is like a panacea he said." Wulan chuckled at her husband's complaint.
"Later opa if it is healed, let baby Maryam sleep with opa only then." Chirps Wulan.
"Seriously? Then we'll sleep together? More freely dong us if you want to make a sister for him." Salman turned his sitting position into a slant, and looked at Wulan's face.
His wife chuckled at the power of her husband's signal was amazing when it came to bed.
"I was just kidding."
"Well, not funny. I got prank." Salman pretended to be angry and pursed his lips.
"Smiling dong." Wulan pulled both cheeks of her husband, so that his lips that had been pursed, became widened.
Baby Maryam who happened to see that chuckled. So that makes both parents also chuckle.
"Oh yes, you hunted shower gih. Let me tell aunt to prepare her dinner."
"Okay baby, with pleasure." Salman kissed Wulan's cheek, and passed away.
"Let's go. We told auntie to prepare dinner."
Wulan held the baby Maryam and walked towards the kitchen. After telling his aunt, he again invited baby Maryam to tidy up his messy toys.
Wulan always taught her daughter to always tidy up her toys after being used to play, even though at home there is a household assistant.
To train him to take responsibility for what he has done. Because everything must be trained early on, in order to become a good habit.
Wulan who used to be bar-bar and likes to be alone, is now transformed into a patient housewife and always directs her children to do good. Religious values are always instilled from an early age.
Not wrong indeed, Salman told her at home to take care of her baby. So baby Maryam grew up to be a smart, sholihah and very adorable child.
