Until the End of Breath
51
After the adzan maghrib, Fardhan just got home. He rushed into the study and returned to the living room to clean up. This morning Fardhan brought some of his usual clothes to the guest room. After bathing and changing clothes, Fardhan rested for a while in his room to unwind. It was only after the Fardhan isha adzan had his own dinner, because bi Titin and mang Jajang had eaten earlier by Fardhan.
Fardhan looked at the chair beside him, usually Maira would sit down and eat together in one plate. Recalling the moment, Fardhan could only sigh violently while closing his eyes. He remembered if Maira had eaten anything yet ? But again the ego and persuasion of the devil blinds the heart and mind of Fardhan. After eating, Fardhan chose to take a break.
The ringing of Maira's phone rang loudly, he saw the call from his mother.
📞 " hello assalamualaikum ma" said Maira
📞 "waalaikumsalaam darling, how are you doing ?" ask mama
📞 "alhamdulillah well ma, mom equally papa how is it ?" ask Maira
📞 "thank God we are also healthy dear, but papa remembers continuously from yesterday. He said he wanted to see you " said mom
deg..
" do you think you have any feelings about what happened to me ?"
inner Maira
📞 "insya Allah later Mai there ma, the plan is Mai will be there tomorrow or the day after ma. But do not know the same mas Fardhan or alone, because the Fardhan mas is very busy managing work in the office "said Maira cover the real situation
📞 " oh that's it, mommy is equally papa wait ya. Later if you want to come here, you tell mama first let mama buy your favorite food" said mama
📞 "yes ma, later Mai tell first so what is not" said Maira
📞 "yes already then mama closed first phone ya ! say hello to your husband from your mother and papa. assalamualaikum" said mom and disconnected her phone connection
" the waalaikumsalaam "
Maira was silent for a moment considering her plan to go to Sumedang would most likely be void. Maira intends to go alone to Sumedang, then she takes care of the clothes she will bring later in a small suitcase.
After getting her clothes done, Maira lay down on the bed. He felt less well, maybe too long soaking earlier when maghrib arrived. Maira tried to close her eyes until she fell asleep.

At home, Azka still plays with Silmi even though it is night. But the little boy kept asking him to play. Nisa sees Azka who is tired, Nisa tries to persuade Silmi to sleep.
" honey, we're bobo yuk ! it's already night, tomorrow Silmi invite papa to play as much as possible. We're bobo while mimi wants to ?" tawar Nisa's
" mimi's granddaughter ? I want you to "answer Silmi with enthusiasm
" mas, I slept in Silmi first ya "said Nisa
" yes, dear " replied Azka
Nisa takes Silmi to her room next to her and Azka. After Silmi sleeps, Nisa goes to the room and sees her husband sitting down while playing his smartphone.
" m " said Nisa
" yes, what's up ?" ask Azka
" what else ? seriously very !" said Nisa
" nothing, eh yeah. Maira was afraid you didn't ?" ask Azka
" ngabarin what mas, call aja not ! do not know why, usually not a video call a day just as Silmi was very curious about him. But from yesterday there was no contact mas, try mas phone " said Nisa
" mas has also been on the phone many times, but not in the lift. Maybe sleep !" azka
" yes too, not good at night gini phone ! tomorrow I'll try again mas, uh but what's the matter when Maira arrives ?" ask Nisa
" earlier papa and mama said he said he wanted to go to Sumedang, either with Fardhan or alone. He said Fardhan was very busy at the office, so most likely could not accompany Mai there" said Azka
" Mai want to go to Sumedang why not say the same to us huh mas ? I usually like to say that I want to go !" nisa said astonished
" i don't know, maybe he forgot about us !" azka
" yeah, we slept. Tired I feel like all day Silmi does not want to stop playing, walking continues to " complained Nisa
" patience dear, may you be tired of being Lillah" Azka said and then kissed Nisa's forehead
" don't forget to pray, baby ! good night " said Azka and hugged Nisa
" yes, good night to my husband" Nisa said as she returned Azka's embrace
Both of them slept because they were tired. Fortunately, Silmi was not fussy tonight and fell asleep, usually Silmi will cry for milk at midnight.
In the morning, Fardhan woke up first and took a shower. Then she prepared her own clothes. As for Maira, she woke up and immediately cleaned herself up despite staggering. His body feels less fit, to walk alone feels weak.
Breakfast time arrived, just like yesterday Fardhan sat three at the dinner table without Maira. Fardhan never asked how Maira was doing, whether she had eaten or not in the Titin bi. After breakfast Fardhan went to his office, and bi Titin for the second time knocked on Maira's room door.
tock.tok..
" neng breakfast first, or will aunt bring here breakfast ?" tanya bi Titin's
maira opened the door of her room
" Mai can you ask for help not like auntie ?" ask Maira
" may neng, ask for help what ?" bi Titin
" please buy the porridge of the Ujang mang at the crossroads of the road ya bi" said Maira while giving money
" how to eat porridge neng ? auntie's cooking downstairs. Or is she sick again ? " tanya bi Titin
" no bi, Mai is fine" Maira replied with a smile
" yeah already, bibibibibibibibibibilikan ya " said bi Titin then went to buy porridge
Maira rubbed her chest feeling relieved, fortunately just had time to apply a thin lip cream on her lips so not too pale when someone looked at her.
Fifteen minutes later, Titin returned with a porch of porridge ordered by Maira.
tock.tok..
" neng, this is the porridge" said bi Titin
maira opened the door of her room
" well, thank you bi" said Maira
" why not at the dinner table ?" ask aunt
" Mai again males down bi " replied Maira
" yeah already, aunty kept it in order" said aunt
" yes bi, again thank you" said Maira
Bi Titin went back downstairs to clean up the dining table and kitchen. Maira ate her porridge in the room.
