Between Love and Corona

Between Love and Corona
Calms Kartika


A 9-year-old kid doesn't know much about everything. However, suddenly he had to separate with both parents at once because the Corona virus certainly makes Kartika so sad and crying.


"If you want to not join the Teacher as long as the Father and Mother are admitted to the Hospital?" take the Moon to his student.


The 9-year-old immediately nodded his head. "When you want to, Mom...."


After that the Moon helped Kartika pack, bring school books and clothes as necessary. The moon does not mind going back and forth to Kartika's house to pick up clothes.


Because Kartika was ready, Moon first asked permission from the residents and Linmas who was still on guard to bring Kartika home. Not to forget, the Moon left an address and phone number to call.


The citizens also gave permission for the Moon to bring Kartika.


"If Mom really is Kartika's teacher, we don't mind. However, Kartika at home is also okay. Later there will be from the Neighborhood who will feed and accompany Kartika even though it cannot be 24 hours" said one representative of the residents.


"Let Kartika be with me Mr. .. at home there are my Father and Mother who can help Kartika. I will also go back and forth to pick up Kartika's clothes, as we only carry as necessary. Well sir, we beg you to say yes sir.." pamit Moon to the residents and Linmas who are in front of the house Kartika.


Carefully, the Moon conjured Kartika with his motorcycle back through the streets of Jogjakarta City and brought her home.


"Come Kartika .. This is the house of the Master. Tika here first yes, as long as you and Mom are treated at the Hospital" said Moon while holding Kartika's hand and taking her into the house.


"Mr ... Mother ..., the Moon came home." exclaimed the Moon as soon as it entered her house.


Not long after, Mr. Hartono and Ms. Sundari also came out.


"Cock till this time of the month? Is this your student?" ask Bu Sundari to the Moon.


"Yes Ma'am ..he was Kartika, his disciple of the Moon. Both of his parents are positive for Covid and are currently being treated at Dr. Hospital. Sardjitos. Tika let in our house first yes Ma'am .. pity Tika no one keeps her at home." said Moon while bringing Tika into his house.


"Yes, you take a shower first. Abis from the outside, so that it is clean and does not bring the virus into the house" said Mrs Sundari.


After bathing and clean, the Moon invites Kartika to lunch. The little boy had not eaten rice in the morning, only had time to eat bread and milk.


"What's your name, son?" ma'am Sundari asked his disciple that month.


"I'm Kartika, commonly called Tika.." she replied gently.


"When at the house of the Master Mother first yes, later if the Father and Mother have recovered Tika can go home again" said Bu Sundari while looking at Tika's face with pity.


The boy nodded his head. "Thank you for helping Tika...."


The moon also caressed the top of his student's head. "Now Tika eat first yes ... eat alone can right?"


Tika nodded her head. "Yes, can you be Master."


They enjoy lunch together, of course the Moon family feel sorry for Kartika. The little boy had to be left alone at home when his parents were picked up in an ambulance.


...🌸🌸🌸...


"You why Tika, why haven't you slept? It's night." said the Moon who also stood beside Kartika.


"When you miss the same Father and Mother, Teacher ... How are you and Mom at the Hospital? Tika was afraid of anything happening to both Father and Mother." a speech that suddenly turned into a cry.


Not everyone will be strong when the ordeal comes, as well as for Kartika, a 9-year-old who had to forcibly separate from her parents. As she remembered and missed her parents, Tika cried.


The moon immediately embraced his disciple. "We pray to God, Tika. May Father and Mother Tika be healed soon. Tika can cry so Tika's heart feels relieved. Don't forget to pray for Mom and Dad. Want Teacher to pray? We pray together yuk, said the Father and Mother in prayer .. May God have mercy to heal the Father and Mother yes."


The moon also guided Tika to carry out their duties as a Muslim namely Salat.


The little girl broke into tears while prostrating on the prayer mat.


Oh my...


Tika comes to you...


Please provide health for Father and Mother...


Recover and provide health...


Tika is afraid at this time, Lord...


It is only God where Tika pleads and hopes...


Sickness may have a miracle of healing from You.


Endow us with Your mercy...


Amens.


That prayer was what Tika said in her heart with tears in her eyes. The moon could not weep seeing Tika praying for God in earnest.


"When you pray to God? Have you brought your Mom and Dad in prayer?" ask Moon while folding the face she previously wore.


Tika nodded her head. "Yes, Master Teacher ... Tika prayed for Father and Mother. Usually sick from Covid being treated how long in the Hospital, Mom?" ask the innocent child.


"At least 14 days Tika .. however, can be more if the examination results are still positive and there are other symptoms. Tika do not be afraid, Tika also do not constantly grieve there is a Master Ma'am here. Ma'am Master will accompany Tika yes.." said Moon solemnly.


"Thank you Master for helping Tika. When Tika was scared there was a Teacher who visited Tika. If there is no Master, tonight Tika will definitely be alone at home without a Father and Mother" said the little boy with a slight smile.


The moon nodded its head. "Sama-sama Tika .. anyone's student Mom in school if they need help as long as Mom can help, surely I will help. It's night, Tika's sleeping. Tomorrow morning wake up, school from the house of Master Ma'am. There are parents of Master Ma'am who will accompany Tika here when Mom to School huh."


Hearing the Moon's attentive and affectionate speech, Tika slept on the Moon's bed. Today can be said to be a hard day for Kartika, grateful there are people who God moves to help her.


The moon still had a sad face looking at Tika who was starting to fall asleep. "Your love is Tika, may you and Mom recover soon and you may regroup yes Tika.." Moon's prayer was earnest for Tika and her family.
