Nun: Just Missing
Mr. Sick

That afternoon, the sky was gray. The sky is trailing the natural panorama. Where are you on your feet?

Honestly, Arina was lazy to step foot into Ruslan's house. Worried that his ears will be hot with a lecture that never recedes.

A few weeks ago, I had said I wanted to stay or rest at Ruslan's house.

"Why did you choose tetirah at Ruslan's mas house sir?" Ask Arina at the time.

"The place is strategic, easily affordable with your other mas. You too, are you closer to that than you are to my father's house?"

"But it...." Arina's voice was cut off as the father snatched her talk.

" Yes, that's it. Father has decided. Yes, you guys take it."

Arina could not dispute what was already the father's decision. Because he knows, whatever reason he proposes will not be able to change the father's stance.

Arina starts ordering ojol after getting permission from the force to go to Ruslan's house.

Grandpa's house has not been sold. Ruslan occupies a house measuring 90x100m2.

Dull wall paint, looks some peeling paint. The door and window frames are fragile. Yeah, that house is old.

If it rains, the roof leaks fine at some point. It seeps its water and forms a map of the island there.

"Assalamu'alaikum "greetings Arina after arriving at Ruslan's house.

"Wa'alaikum salam" answered some people in the mini living room, with an old sofa and a sturdy teak table.

You can see him in the corner of the room with a single mattress as the base.

"Oh, Joseph has arrived. What time is it? Arina asked while kissing Joseph's hand.

"30 minutes ago" Joseph replied with a friendly smile.

Arina handed a bag of oranges to the goddess.

"Where's mom?" Arina asked because she didn't see her mother there.

"Mother to the shop, she said she wanted to buy snacks and milk." Answer mba Dewi while gliding to the kitchen.

"Well, can't you tell Tika or Bagas? How's mom going?" Arina Protest.

"The mother wants to, she says it's not good in the house constantly."

Arina wanted to answer again but arrested the code of the Netra Yusuf to be silent.

"Yes leave Rin alone, let it be while exercising." The Goddess again.

'Sports kok to the stall, it's almost Maghrib anyway.' Rukuk Arina in the heart.

Arina just kept quiet and took a deep breath.

He saw the Father sleeping.

Joseph seemed to be calmly reciting some verses of the Qur'an while his hand was holding the mushaf.

Arina approached the father and massaged his weak hands. He stared at the weak and old body.

"Oh my God, sir, what are you thinking until you get sick like this?" ask Arina in my heart.

Arina took the mushaf and began to recite some holy verses and pray for the father to be lifted up by the Almighty. There was a tremor in Arina's hand that made her stop her reading.

"Astaghfirullah." Arina murmured still in her heart.

"So the X-ray yesterday how about mba?" Asked Arina with eyes still on the father.

"There is a blockage in his head, his heart has also been soaked.' mba Dewi explained.

"Astghfirullah" cried Arina softly.

"What drug is it?" Ask Joseph at last.

"That's no.' said the Goddess by pointing towards the glass cupboard.

"But then let's first use herbs. Ruslan's going to mix the leaves for the father." The Goddess explained.

"So the doctor's medicine isn't taken?" Yusuf.

"Yes not papa. In Shaa Allah the father healed by drinking leaves. I'll make it up later." The sound of Ruslan was heard. Apparently he's been in the toilet since.

"But we don't know how much? What content is in it? Effective or not?" Arina Cecar.

"I know. Bagas used to drink it was instantly healed. Thank goodness." Ruslan.

Arina quiet. Even in his mind dialogue.

'For children, automatically his stamina will help the healing process. Father is old. It's starting to weaken.'

"Doctor's medicine should be taken by Rus. Later during the control, the doctor will observe and re-evaluate." Yusuf.

"Most people take doctor's medicine and it's a danger, it's a poison." Ruslan.

Arina and Joseph took a deep breath together.

"Sorry mas, this is a sick father.don't try as you please.if at all how?" Arina was still not satisfied with Ruslan's answer.

"do you doubt my abilities?" ask Ruslan fiercely.

"we need people who are really experts, can not be careless.' Arina is trying to make sure that you can handle it well.

"Assalamu'alaikum" the mother's voice from the outside door.

'wa'alaikum greetings, mother." Arina replied as she walked towards the mother and kissed the mother's hand.

"You have been a long time?"

"It was 10 minutes ago."

"Where's mom from?"

"From the stall, trus met his mother's friend there. So talk first."

'don't you tell Tika or Bagas, ma'am?"

"They were busy helping your mother in the kitchen. Preparing the trade.'

Dewi is selling fried foods. Every day in the market, in the shop or school. Thank God it is always over. Even if it does not run out, he always shares it with the neighbors.

"Later one month, I try X-rays again. Let's let you know the development of the father after drinking my homemade concoction." Ruslan half shouted from his room.

"Yes, let's see it first." Yusuf Sahut.

Arina was anxious to see Joseph following what Ruslan said.

"Yes can't do dong mas, the herb is more about prevention rather than cure. Even if it can take a long time." Arina whispered to Joseph.

"If you are seriously ill, this must be with a doctor's prescription. Need action according to the doctor's instructions, don't know." Arina's anger can still be contained.

"Udah, no papa, we see the development of this one month.if until there is no new progress we take medical action." Joseph calmed.

"Udah, yes in aja" said the mother softly as she blinked her eyes.

'Why does everyone have to follow what he says. Indeed he is a doctor.' Inner Arina is back in revolt.

Still lying helpless, Joseph looked at him as he continued reading his Qur'an. Mom walked towards the kitchen.

"Yusuf and Arina haven't been made to drink huh wi?" ask the mother to the Goddess who is sitting on the porch while feeding her little cat.

"Tina used to make her own drink, Mom, if Joseph's mas was just asking for water."

"when the water, he usually drinks coffee. Arina, I let the sweet tea warm, son." cried the mother from the kitchen.

Arina walked following mom towards the kitchen.

"mommy, let Arina do it herself."

The sound of the Maghrib echoed, a sign of activity must be stopped for a moment.

All problems must be faced with a cool head, a sincere heart and a smile. Should the world cry to you?
