“Assalamu’alaikum, good morning, Ms. Dita. How is he doing?” greet doctor Lita when she comes to check on Dita.
“Wa’alaikumsalam, morning, Doc. I was cold yesterday. The feet also feel bad. The former seam now also feels hot and sore.” Dita reveals what she feels.
Doctor Lita smiled. “If the cold is due to the effect of the operation, ma'am. Because the operating room is very cold while the mother only wears thin clothes for surgery, then the mother is moved to room temperature, can cause such a reaction.”
“If the legs feel sore, because the effect of the anesthesia is lost. For former surgery later given drugs for pain relief yes, Mom. Later the mother will also be infused with antibiotic fluid. Maybe it will feel a bit painful when inserted with antibitotic fluid, but only briefly.” Doctor Lita gave an explanation to Dita.
“Good, Doc.”
“Mom started trying to sleep tilted to the left and right yes, just slow down. Later if it is smoothly tilted, start learning to sit. Slowly too, if when he wakes up his head dizzy later to sleep for a while, then start sitting again. If you can sit down, start learning to walk. Slow down first.”
“Good, Doc. When is the catheter removed, Doc?”
“Later after Mom can sit, will we off.”
“What if I can walk home, Doc?” ask Dita.
“If the treatment process is complete and the condition of the mother is good, you can go home. Postoperative medicine about 3 days, Bu.”
“I think the road can go home, Doc.”
“Propay yes, Mom. Already miss home, Mom?”
Dita just smiled in response to Doctor Lita's question.
“Is anyone asked again, Bu?” ask Lita's doctor before leaving Dita's hospital room.
“No more, Doc. Thank you,” replied Dita with a smile.
“Then excuse me, check with other patients. If there's anything you can call the nurse. Assalamu’alaikum.” Doctor Lita came out of the room followed by a nurse behind her.
"Wa'alaikumsalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh."
“Honey, want to try sleeping on your side?” asked Rendra who was standing beside Dita's bed, listening to the explanation of Doctor Lita.
“Iya, Mas,” Reply Dita.
“Slow down yes, do not force.” Rendra prepared to help Dita who was ready to tilt her body.
"Bismillah." He tried to move his body to the side. Slowly, he was finally able to sleep on his side.
"Goodle. Smart my wife," praised Rendra while stroking Dita's head.
"I want to do this first, Mom."
"Okay" Rendra sat down to face Dita. He looked at his wife's face with love.
"Mas, why smile for yourself?" Dita was astonished to see her smiling husband continue while looking at her.
"I'm happy again."
"Happy why? Is there something on my face?" Dita frowned.
Rendra smile. He answered while singing the song lyrics.
There's another one, in your smile
which makes my tongue
nervous not moving
There's a rainbow, in your eyeballs
And force yourself, to say
I love you
(Rainbow in your eyes - Jamrud)
Dita blushed after hearing Rendra sing. Her husband could always make her blush.
"Gemes if you see that you're blushing." Rendra looked at his wife's face with anxiety.
"What the hell, Mas." Dita covered her face with her palm.
"Why cover his face. Open dong, honey," whine Rendra.
"No, I'd love to tease me again."
"From now on I'm not a godain. I'm expressing my heart, honey."
"Gombal." Dita still covered her face.
"Do you want to open it or kiss it?"
Dita finally showed her face. Do not let Rendra desperate to kiss him, there is a mother and father there.
"Mas sleep first. Last night was just a little sleep."
"When you sleep, I just go to sleep, honey."
"I slept a lot yesterday. Lack of sleep. Do not let Mas participate in the name also because of the fatigue ngurusin me. Who will take care of me while I'm still like this."
Rendra shakes. "Later if I sleep I'll sleep, baby. Now I want to be with you."
Rendra smiled, he grabbed Dita's hand that was stroking him earlier and then kissed Dita's back. "Thank you for being such a strong and wonderful woman. Because of your love, I can still stand up."
"Mas, that made me strong. I don't know what happened if Mas wasn't there next to me. Maybe I'll just keep crying and can't accept the truth." Dita's eyes are already glazed.
"Ssttt .. don't cry anymore. Although we are sad but cannot continue to dissolve in sadness. Akhtar must also be sad if we are sad. Remember dear, Akhtar will always be the brightest star in our hearts." Rendra stroked Dita's cheek.
"I miss Akhtar, Mas. Usually he's been kidding, especially if Mas's talking to him." Dita's face turned sad.
"I also miss Akhtar. We pray for him now."
Dita nodded then Rendra began to lead prayers for her son.
"Mas, tomorrow after I can get home from here, can I not while I'm at dad?" ask Dita after they finish praying.
"May," replied Rendra with a smile.
"Really, Mas?" tanya Dita enthusiastic.
Rendra nodded. "Yes, right. As long as it makes you happy, I'll allow it."
"Thank you, Mom."
"Dear, have you told me mommy?"
Dita shaking. "Not yet, I'm permissioned to be the same. If you give me a new permit, I'll say you're the same mother."
"Yes, I'll tell you the same mother."
"But then there's nothing in my mom, I'm in my dad?"
"Who do I want in my mom's house. I go wherever you go, baby. I'll stay at dad's house, too."
"Well, do you want to stay at Daddy?"
"Yes, it's only temporary."
🎶 Your heart is my refuge
The evil of shah watku
My God approved that
Made you my wife
You are your heavenly angel 🎶
Gawai Rendra rings. She sees Candra's name on the screen, immediately she shifts the green button to receive. Taken silent listening as Rendra spoke on the phone.
"Darling, these are the cafe kids looking at you. How's it?" ask Rendra to Dita.
"Don't, tomorrow if I can sit down or if I go home" replied Dita.
"Okay, I told the kids first that you wanted to." Rendra spoke to Candra on the phone.
"Strick, Mas. I'm gonna go back to sleep." Dita started moving her body slowly.
"I'm sleepy, I'm sleeping too."
"Yes, Honey. Later when you're asleep, I'll go straight to sleep."
Tita closed her eyes. One hand of Rendra stroked Dita's forehead, while the other held his wife's hand. He sat with his head on his bed. He soon fell asleep too.
Pak Wijaya and Bu Hasna who were also in the room, from earlier only saw the interaction of their youngest daughter and daughter-in-law. They are very happy to see Dita and Rendra loving and strengthening each other.
"Bun, that Nak Rendra was told to move his sleep must be uncomfortable sitting while sleeping," said Mr. Wijaya.
"Let's just be it, Dad. Later if builtin he even did not go to sleep continue to chat with Dad. Poor Nak Rendra, must be tired and lack of sleep. Last night he took his foot off Dita, didn't want to be replaced."
"What time do you sleep?"
"Maybe at 12, at 3 he woke up to Tahajud prayers, continued to read the Qur'an until dawn. Earlier after dawn had slept for a while and continued to wake up after being bathed by nurses."
"We don't complain much, do we, Bun?"
"No, he sleeps more. Most recently fitting the former stitches felt sore, he complained. But, Dita ya still Dita, stay spoiled. Although the effect is now the same her husband is not the same mother anymore. Nak Rendra also seems to be having fun with Dita." Hasna's mother smiled.
"Dad's coming home in the afternoon, Bun. Just got a lot of work in the office. Today's agenda is all postponement. If Mommy wants to be here first until Dita comes home, nothing."
"Yes, Dad. Mommy also pity that Nak Rendra must take care of Dita himself. If Dad is lazy to cook, buy vegetables. Or you call Mbok Darmi to cook for Dad, and help clean the house while you're here."
"Dad only ate at home the same morning. You can have breakfast with fried rice or fried eggs yourself. Dinner was easy. Mbok Darmi was asked to help clean the house. Tell Mbok Darmi if the house keys, morning delivery father, then I'll take it right home from the office."
"Yes, Dad. Mother phone her son Mbok Darmi first."
Today Dita can already sleep on her side and also sit. Although when he first learned to sit, his head feels spinning great. But after Rendra patiently and painstakingly helped Dita sit down, she was finally able to sit on her own even slowly.
The next day Dita had learned to walk and could go to the bathroom, so the catheter could be removed. Because a few days just lying down, Dita walked slowly around the room accompanied by Rendra or her mother to overcome saturation.
The cafe employees and college friends Dita alternately came to visit at the hospital. They chatted and joked to make the atmosphere of the room become cheerful, although sometimes Dita was in pain from laughing out loud at their jokes. At least it can make him feel not alone, there are people around him who will always cheer him up.
