Until the End of Breath
106

Fardhan arrived at his in-laws' house during the day, as he had to stop by the office because there was an important affair and could not be delayed. When he got home, Fardhan smiled to see Maira who was now playing and joking with Silmi in the living room.

" assalamualaikum" said Fardhan

" waalaikumsalaam" answered Maira and Silmi compact

" so exciting as it seems until someone said greetings from earlier not heard" said Fardhan

" i'm sorry, I didn't hear " said Maira

" it's okay, oh yeah, I'll take you back home this afternoon. How ? are you ready ?" ask Fardhan

" is your mom still there ?" ask Maira

" yes, there is still. But you take it easy, I've talked to my mom so as not to bother you anymore" replied Fardhan

" well " said Maira lethargically

Fardhan is now following Maira's steps into his room, he intends to help Maira clean up the clothes she will bring home.

" let me help you" said Fardhan

" thank you, but there's no need to bother helping me. I'll just bring some clothes, the rest I'll keep here. So that when I want to stay here there is no need to bring clothes anymore" said Maira

" well then" said Fardhan resignedly

Finally Fardhan can only watch Maira who tidied some of her clothes into a small suitcase. Actually Maira's clothes are still in the apartment that he had lived with Zahra.

actually, my clothes are almost all in the apartment, but if I take them now Fardhan knows where I'm hiding. Ah yes, I forgot later I asked Zahra for help.

think Maira

After finishing packing her clothes, Maira put her small suitcase near the door of the room to make it easier later when carrying it. Seeing that the wife had finished packing, Fardhan got off the bed and approached Maira.

" we should now discuss this with papa, brother and sister Nisa" Farfhan said

" yes, I also think so " said Maira

Maira and Fardhan walked hand in hand to the living room, the perfect moment to talk apparently. All the families were gathered in the living room while watching Silmi play with Zahra.

" it just so happens that everyone is gathered here" said Fardhan

" what's up with Dhan ?" ask Azka

" yes, what's wrong, son ?" ask papa

" i'm sorry before, maybe the thing that Fardhan was going to talk about is too sudden. But Fardhan wants everyone to understand our condition. Papa, brother, Fardhan today will take Maira back to our house" said Fardhan

" why son ? don't you feel at home here ?" ask papa

" not so pa, but Fardhan wants more time with Maira alone. Fardhan is at home to live here, but we also have our own house pa, brother, Fardhan hope papa and brother can understand" said Fardhan

" is it not too fast Dhan ?" ask Azka

" no bang" replied Fardhan smiling sweetly

" all right, if that's what you want. Brother and father can only wish the best for you, wherever you are may always be in the protection of Allah" said Azka

" if you go home, then I how about Mai ?" asked Zahra in a soft tone

" you take it easy, I told Aisyah. You'll work with him at the cafe, and there's also an empty room. You can stay there with a few other employees" Maira said

" really ? so I can work here ?" zahra asked with happy sparkling eyes

" yes, maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow you will be picked up by him. I'll let you know later if there's any new information" Maira said

Zahra was happy that she was finally able to return to work. To be honest when Maira's mother died, Zahra had thought what work he would do and where ? and he came to this city with Zahra and who bore all the needs and needs of Maira and Zahra was Azka. But at the moment he feels a little relieved. Not without reason she felt a little relieved, it was because Maira was back with her husband plus she had also gotten a new job.

Only one thing is still a burden on his mind at this time, which is about Maira's disease. However, Maira's condition must be immediately known by Fardhan, before it is too late. But Zahra could not do anything, he could only remain silent because Maira did not want her illness to be known to others.

" oh yeah, when are you going back to your house ?" ask papa

" the plan is this afternoon pa" replied Fardhan

" why not tomorrow ?" ask papa

" tomorrow I was busy in the pa's office, the morning there was a meeting with a client from outside and afternoon I also had to meet again with my client who had several times I had missed his schedule, so this time I can't dodge it anymore " replied Fardhan

" oh, I see, I thought you guys were going home tomorrow" said papa

" papa take it easy, later Mai will often play here. We will try to get together here too, so we can still gather" Maira said

No time has passed until now when Fardhan and Maira return home. Fardhan dragged Maira's small suitcase, and put it straight into the trunk of the car. While Maira said goodbye to papa, Azka, Nisa and also Zahra tak luoa the little Silmi who always tacked on Maira.

" pa, Maira said yes ! papa take care of your health here, don't mind much. Later Mai will often ngunjungin papa here " said Maira while greeting her papa's hand.

" yes, son, you also have to take care of your health. Papa, look at you being thin and pale, take care of your health. Don't always blame yourself, just pray for the mama who has calmed down there" said papa

" yes pa, Mai will remember papa's message" said Maira

Now Maira turns to Azka, the older sister who is always there for her.

" bang, Mai's home. Titip papa here, later Mai will try to often come here and nginep. brother same brother Nisa healthy always yes " said Nisa while hugging Azka and turning to Nisa.

" Ra, I'm home. I'll tell you again " said Maira

After saying goodbye to all, Maira left her childhood home with all the beautiful and bitter memories of losing her mother. Maira still could not forget what had happened to her. Losing her figure was the lowest point in her life, her weakness. Now the mother has calmed back to the Owner of Eternal Life. Now he just keep his family that still exists to protect him. Once she fails to look after her mother, this time Maira is determined to get better and become a strong woman to take care of her family.
