Waiting for the Love of the Country
S2 | Oma's Advice

The warm atmosphere is now very felt in the residence of Oma Syifa, they have just performed the morning prayers. The tears of Oma Syifa were unstoppable, her heart was very happy. The dream of all parents is to educate their children to obey the Creator.

"God, thank you for giving me the opportunity to educate my children, my son-in-law and my grandchildren. It will then be only the do'a of them that will light up my grave, "inner Oma Syifa.

Mother Gisya, Ummi and Mama Febri immediately prepare breakfast for their extended family. Joking laughter they prepared breakfast and again Oma Syifa shed tears of joy.

"Nad, Ris, Lia, Rini.. You guys saw it, right? Our children are all happy" said Oma Syifa.

"Oma! Don't be sad anymore dong, we're all here for Oma," Elmira hugged the tubub Oma Syifa and held it tightly.

"Sister, don't forget to always pray Oma, yes! Oma happy, very happy! Even if God took Oma's life today, Oma was sincere," of course Oma Syifa's words made Elmira cry bitterly.

Hearing Elmira's cry, all those outside rushed into the house. Their hearts beat like a marathon.

"What's up, brother?! Why are you crying like that?" frantic Father Fahri.

"Oma, by the way, Dad! Brother doesn't want Oma to stay," isak Elmira hugged the father. They all surrounded Oma Syifa who was seated in a wheelchair.

"Basin' bad boy! Look, Oma is rich enough to be a suspect!" chirps Oma Syifa.

They were all no one to answer, just staring at Oma Syifa with a sad look.

"Don't be sad! Oma is still this breath, Oma just said that Oma is happy very happy! Oma is sincere if Allah will call Oma, and Oma reminds you all! If Oma has to go, please... May cry, but do not linger! This oma is old, and Oma misses your Opa," with a smile Oma Syifa said that.

Unspeakable, all were silent thousands of languages and only a sobbing sound was heard.

"Quick cook! This oma laper, not we will also be Mitim," said Oma Syifa.

"Oh my God, Family time! Mitim mah what the hell is that, playing horses?" chirps Alan while wiping the tears that accidentally fell.

"Yes yes, that's it! Ah, what the hell on a cry like that! Pantesan is overcast, wong here all black clouds," Oma Syifa pointed outwards.

All back to their respective activities, the granddaughters all joined forces to accompany the Oma.

"All of you must always get along and unite, continue this brotherly relationship until your grandchildren will be. Our brotherhood is not based on blood relations, but the friendship of Oma and Grandma your Grandfather strengthens everything even beyond blood relations. You have to take care of each other, don't hurt each other. If something goes wrong, remind me! If anyone turns, straighten it! That's what we always do first, and Oma hopes you will plant it all until later" advises Oma Syifa.

Their hearts ached at the advice of Oma Syifa, as if Oma would abandon them.

"Oma! Look what Maul made Oma," Alan came while carrying strawberries from the back garden he had just picked.

"Ck! Now if you want to be called Maul," Oma Syifa whipped while eating strawberry from Alan.

"Hehehe, how's Oma? Sweet no?" ask Alan who is curious.

"Sugary! Try it yourself, "Oma Syifa put two strawberries in Alan's mouth.

Really, it felt so overwhelming to Alan. With great difficulty he swallowed the strawberry.

"Where? Sweet right?" asked Oma Syifa blinked one eye.

"Sweet Oma," Alan replied with a stiff smile.

"Maauuuulll.........! Want your Baba's poisonin?! Wry strawberry rich ketek you so! Did you kill Baba?!" annoyed Baba Jafran who came with a murmur.

"Bhahahahaha," they all laughed at the behavior of Baba Jafran and Alan who played chases like children.

The weather had started to clear, they took Oma for a walk around the tea garden. Oma sits in a wheelchair and Fahri's father pushes her.

"Tickers over there are good, Ri!" point Oma Syifa at a hill not far from where they are today.

"Okay Bun, we're whirling.....!" Fahri's father excitedly pushed on the wheelchair of Oma Syifa and shouted loudly.

"Yesdreamy...! The Queen wants to roll out a mat under the hilly shady tree," cried Father Fahri to the young people who each carry food.

"Okay you," they answered in unison except for Baba Jafran.

"Ckat! It should be Baba who became his uncle," upset Baba Jafran for losing the suit to push the wheelchair Oma Syifa.

"No pantes you be your majesty, Ba! Where there are on his stomach distended rich people bunting," chirped Ummi Ulil make Baba Jafran yells upset.

"Wahaii tenacious shoots, let me squirt but you still like it that is under the mountains of my stomach," upset Baba Jafran.

Oma Syifa hit Baba Jafran's arm not far from her.

"Eating diet! The diet! The diet! Makanin the Ulil muluk anyway," teased Oma Syifa.

"Abis if he eats it he's not full, Bun! Beuh let alone the milk factory, really mantep! Kaga there's a sluggish term," Baba Jafran smiles at herself.

"Lil, isn't Jafran weaned?!" ledek Oma Syifa when he saw Ummi Ulil his face had met red.

"Snakes are weaned! Itumah signed a contract for life, Bun! Noh the same brother Idan is also sure it has not been weaned," said Baba Jafran

Blushes

Their faces all met with red, Oma Syifa shook Jafran's head with the umbrella she was holding.

"Basic gesrek! Inget age, later also that signal los not as fast as it used to be!" oma's chirps made them gawk in disbelief.

Young people deftly roll out mats, the behavior of Sweta and Ibam become the center of their attention. Joking with laughter and cheerful glee, that's what they're doing right now.

"Mirda, here son!" Oma Syifa asked Mirda to come closer.

"Yes Oma, what's wrong?" Mirda welcomed the hand of Oma Syifa and held it.

"Yes horror! The brother was his son crybaby, kept thinking a lot. But Oma knew her attitude from childhood, she was a strong girl. He is a precious diamond, so Oma begs you to take good care of him. Oma always hoped that all of your families would be happy, "again Oma Syifa advised everyone.

Sweta approached Oma Syifa, she sat on the lap of the Eyang Uti.

"That's it, the show's which are kids!" kiss landed on Oma Syifa's cheek.

"MashaAllah Yangti's great-grandson, Sweta must be a smart and intelligent child! Sweta must take care of Bubu, keep Adek Ibam if Baba again duty. Can't be whiny, can't fuss!" Oma Syifa stroked Sweta's head which was always wrapped in a headscarf.

"Otey Yangti," Sweta enthusiastically hugged his Grandfather.

They enjoy every wind that blows, laughter does not escape their activities today. Until it does not feel the time has entered the time of dzuhur.

"Alan, Oma want you to be the Imam! Soon you will be a priest for your family" said Oma Syifa.

Indira who was carrying out KKN in Sukabumi just came, coinciding with Uncle Syauqi and his family. They immediately came after getting a message from Mother Gisya, who said that if Oma continued to advise them as if Oma was going to leave.

Oma Syifa hugged her youngest child, daughter-in-law and grandchildren.

"You're all new, now come in! Rest first. A! Have lunch for them" said Oma Syifa.

"Oma, Dira had eaten earlier in the street. Dira just want nemenin Oma," said Indira.

"Where's Athaya? Who is this?" ask Oma Syifa.

"Hai Oma is beautiful, I am Dirga Shafa's friend," Dirga kissed Oma Syifa's hand.

"MashaAllah, there is a wind what Oma's grandson this one. He said anti-soldiers, but they were soldiers, "god Oma Syifa.

"Omaaa.." whined Indira whose cheeks were already flushed with embarrassment.

Indira approached Mother Gisya who was preparing a snack for all of them. Oma Syifa patted Dirga on the shoulder, making Dirga gasp in shock.

"Please call the bucin General!" the Oma Syifa.

"Well, Oma," Dirga got up and approached Fahri's father.

"Dad, it's called Oma!" whispered Dirga in Fahri.

The two of them came back to Oma Syifa who was smiling towards them.

"What's up, Bun? Mommy needs something, hm?" ask Father Fahri gently.

"Don't repeat Mother's mistake in the past, fight for your daughter's happiness. Like Mommy fighting for Caca's happiness first," said Oma Syifa.

"Yes, Mother! Brother will strive for the happiness of the children Brother, without Mother asking for it surely Brother will do it," stressed Father Fahri.

"That's it, get Dira out of Athaya! He's tormented with his inner being, Bang! Consider this your last request!" Oma Syifa looked at Father Fahri with a sharp look.

"And you! Be prepared, you must be a priest when prayers come!" the Oma Syifa.

"Okay Oma" replied Dirga.

Fahri and Dirga's father were both pensive, Fahri's father thought carefully about the words of the in-laws. While Dirga is currently thinking deeply about Indira's feelings.

"Why did you bring Dira here?" ask Fahri's father.

"Athaya couldn't be contacted since morning, Dad! Dira had rejected the time I invited, but finally he wanted because he was worried about the condition of Oma," replied Dirga.

"Oh, rest first! Surely you cape drive, and do not forget to prepare for prayer later," Father Fahri patted Dirga on the shoulder.

Dirga chose to join Indira and his brothers, they also easily mingled with Dirga. And did not feel the time of prayer maghrib had arrived, Husayn who became the Imam during the prayer maghrib. They continued it with the tadarus together while waiting for the Isya prayer to arrive.

Adhan Isya reverberated, Dirga was ready to stand in front to become an Imam. Indira again shed his tears, this time Dirga managed to make him fall in love again. Dirga's voice when chanting the holy verse of the Qur'an can more calm his heart.

After the prayer, they continued with dinner together. Dirga was stunned to see the length of the dining table in front of him.

"Ga, here sits Deket Aa," Alan told Dirga.

"Eitt'S.... Nope! Here Ga, sit down Brother!" Husain called Dirga.

"Here, here ain't my deket!" kekeh Alan's.

"Don't! Here's my deck, "Husain pulled Dirga and Alan's hands together.

"Stoooooo!!! That if Mas Yoga's hand is how long?! Do you want responsibility?! Sit here, Mum! Dad's Deket same Bang Mirda aja to be safe," suddenly Indira's speech made a smile on everyone's face.

"Cieeee.." compact them all.

Oma Syifa gave an eye gesture and nod to Father Fahri and Mother Gisya.

"Mother's request, we will definitely grant," Inner Father Fahri and Mother Gisya as their two hands hold tight.

The time has shown at ten o'clock in the evening, they held a mat in the middle room. They will sleep together, just as Oma Syifa wishes.

"Ca, wipe the forehead Mother dong! While sholawatan yes," pinta Oma Syifa.

"Yes Mother" they all held back crying when they heard Oma Syifa say.

Allahumma sholli `ala Sayyidina Muhammadin thibbil qulubi wa dawa-iha.. Wa `afiyatil abdani wa syifa-iha wa nuril abshori wa dhiya-iha wa `ala alihi wa shohbihi wa sallim..

Sholawat Mother Gisya made Oma Syifa's eyes begin to shut little by little, Fahri's father approached the in-law and whispered a sentence.

"Laa ilaha illallah." whispered Father Fahri as he stroked Oma Syifa's forehead.

"Laa.. Ilha.. Illallah....." Oma Syifa had already breathed her last.

"Innalillahi wa inna ili rojiun....." Fahri's father kissed his in-law's forehead and then rushed to hug the wife who had been crying roaring.

"Omaaaa.....!!" yell at them at the same time.

"Dear patience, please Oma," Mirda clutched her body tightly.

"The strong guy! InshaAllah Oma was happy," Alana also clutched tightly the body of the husband who had now begun to relax.

"Oma! Don't stay with Dira, Oma! Dira is not happyin Oma yet," Indira continues to cry kissing Oma Syifa's legs.

"Shafa, relax! Ikhlaskan, Oma is happy. Look, Oma's face is very radiant and fragrant. Sincerely yes," Dirga stroked Indira's head and Indira turned to hug Dirga's body. He needs a backrest, his heart is very fragile. She had completely lost Oma Syifa, because Oma Syifa was indeed close to all her grandchildren.

"Omma.. Dirga will take care of Oma's favorite granddaughter, "inner Dirga.
