episode 15

...

The sun this week just showed itself. Great weather to exercise or just take a walk in the park. But not for Dara, the girl is in the hospital right now. Just as he was making breakfast he suddenly saw his father coming out of the room with a pale face. And when Dara tried to get to him. The father suddenly fell, he fainted. Dara immediately took her to the hospital, she was afraid of anything happening with her father.

"Hutomo's family?" the voice of the doctor who had just come out of the IGD room resuscitated Dara

"Yes, I'm his daughter, doc"

"Your father's condition is quite alarming. Before I would like to ask, does he routinely take his medicine?"

"Medicine? What medicine, doc?"

"Don't you know if your dad has a problem with his kidneys?"

"Kidneys? My dad's condition has been good, doc"

"Maybe he didn't tell this to the family. But you need to know, your father has been suffering from this disease for 2 years. And his condition continues to decline. That's why he had to take his medication regularly"

"That bad, doc?"

"Yes, yes even if only 1 kidney is damaged. But still living with 1 kidney is a tough thing for patients"

"Then what should I do, doc?"

"We need to find a kidney donor immediately"

...

The doctor's words were like lightning striking above his head. Dara never thought if her father had a serious illness like this. Father who always looks healthy despite his age is not young, never shows pain. Or indeed Dara alone is insensitive to the situation of the father.

Although the relationship with the father is not good, but he should be able to pay more attention to his father. Hah Dara felt sorry he could not be a good child.

Plus, he is confused now how to find a kidney donor for his father. Amidst the confusion, he walked out of the father's nursery. The doctor said his father had to be hospitalized for several nights to check more about his illness.

His footsteps took him to the hospital garden. Before turning towards the park. From the direction standing not far in front of him was someone he knew. That someone is Dika, but what is that man doing here. Dika is not alone, but there is a girl with him. The girl with the brown jacket looked cute with a ribbon-shaped pink bandana on her head.

They were both seen sitting in the waiting room in front of the ophthalmologist's room. Dara just stayed in place and watched them from a distance not too far from the two people who were joking.

"Is that his sister who he's been telling?"

Before long they both entered the eye doctor's room after the nurse asked them to enter. Dara doesn't know what's going on in there.

But what Dara noticed earlier, the girl's gaze was just straight ahead. And also he walked with a cane and a fist with Dika. Is there a problem with the girl's eyes?

...

Dara undoes her intention to go to the hospital park. He wanted to find out what Dika was doing in this hospital. Soon she saw Dika coming out of the doctor's room and the man again led the girl to sit in the waiting room seat. With the distance now quite close because Dara who also sat in one of the waiting room chairs with a book that he tried to use to cover his face. He can hear what they are saying.

"Yes mas"

Dara peeked a little from behind her book. He saw how Dika who loved the girl so much. Even before it was left by Dika to call the medicine in the pharmacy the man was haphazardly stroking the head of the girl. How loving Dika is, it's one of the traits that Dara knows from Dika today.

"It's the cure"

"How much medicine?"

"A little bit"

"Why do I have to take medicine?"

"You heard what the doctor said. If you have to keep taking medicine as long as we have not found a donor that is suitable for your eyes"

"I'm making it hard to keep going"

"Hey, no one's making it hard. Anything will work for you to be happy. And for the sake of healing my beloved sister this mas"

"Mas, but if I don't get a donor, I'm fine"

"We're working first"

"I think it's important that I stay the same Dika. I only have Dika mas now, so I better not be able to see but still can continue the same Dika mas"

...

Dara returned to her father's nursery just as her father opened his eyes. His father who is in a weak condition it certainly makes Dara could not bear to see it. The father he knew was healthy had a serious illness. Dara also did not expect, the father who had always quarreled with her, now had to lie weak in the hospital.

Oh my God, what a test is this

He just kept silent to see Dara entering the ward. There was no conversation between father and son. Finally Dara walked to the room kamdi in the corner of the nursery. He took ablution for prayer, because the clock has shown the time of dzuhur prayer. Sajadah that he's a title not far from his father's nursery bed.

After finishing the prayer, Dara did not immediately wake up from his position. The girl was still praying for her sick father. Just when Dara was about to start her prayer, she saw the father who closed his eyes again. So now the girl dared to pray with a little voice.

"O Allah, the Most Merciful and the Most Merciful. I apologize for all my sins. I know, I'm not your good servant. But I beg God, take away my father's illness. Forgive all his deeds, forgive all his sins. O God, it is not enough for you to test me. Why did you give my father such a hard test. God, you are a good parent, and I love you. Please keep him out of all trouble, and lift up all his pain. I love dad"

The prayer made the father shed tears in his silence. He closed his eyes when he saw Dara coming out of the bathroom and held a prayer mat not far from his bed. He just kept quiet, no sound. With her eyes closed, she knew that Dara was praying. He also knows enough if his son is indeed among those who are diligent in worship.

He did not intend to sleep, but he only intended to rest his tired eyes. But suddenly he was surprised by the string of prayers that his daughter said after praying. Although with a small voice even barely audible that he was still able to hear clearly the word per he said.

There was a feeling of sadness that he felt. Even involuntarily her tears dripped from both corners of her eyes. The prayer strand felt very sincere from a child to its creator for a father. Yes, even if he realized, if he was not a good father all this time. The ego that keeps him going with feelings of resentment. Until he closed his eyes how sincere Dara felt to him.

...

"I've been outrageous all this time"
