THE FORMER BLIND COLLECTION HOUSE IJO
Chapter 45 Ikhlas

In the two days that Mamah's stomach was enlarged like nine months pregnant, Papah brought Mamah to the Clinic, from the Clinic stated that he could not be taken to the Hospital.

Mamah was taken immediately when he also used the Ambulance to Hasan Sadikin Hospital, Teh Eli immediately called my Grandfather who was in Bogor, telling him that Mamah was sick, and that he was, and tell me the beginning of why Mamah was sick.

Grandfather, and Aunt Ana after hearing their sick Mamah went straight to Bandung to our house, out of worry, and, the baby's sister who was born for two weeks no adult took care of just Eli Tea, because my eldest brother was in Tasikmalaya with her husband.

Me, Teh Eli, and Julian That time as much as possible kept our fussy baby sister crying as possible because it was not unusual to drink milk from a pacifier, or somehow our baby sister was so fussy.

Ordinary if there is a baby sister Mamah sleeping, not fussy like this, even we who like to disturb the baby sister to wake up, and Mamah said a month-old baby can not be played with his work to sleep suckling sleep again, even when defecating, or in a diaper change even baby sister sleep, sleep, we just hope Aunt Ana and Grandpa come quickly.

We had four Me, Julian, and Teh Eli holding our baby sister gathered in the living room, we saw a wall clock at 4 p.m.

Grandpa last called at one o'clock in the afternoon Grandpa said around 2 o'clock Grandpa departed from Bogor, so the possibility of Grandpa arrived around 8 pm to Bandung, Bandung, because the journey from Bogor to Bandung about 5-6 hours.

But suddenly someone knocked on the door of the living room, we knew it wasn't Grandpa, and Aunt Ana we were scared but when we heard the person knocking on the door greeting, her voice was like her we know, it was Aunt Papah's villa maid who used to work.

"Asalamualaik... Tea Eli.. Iiya.. Julian... "

We were so happy that there was finally an adult accompanying us, we immediately rushed to the main room to open the door, and well, indeed Auntie occasionally likes to play at home, chatting with Mamah

"Alhamdulillah..."

Said the three of us, when we opened the door, which was in front of us people we already knew.

"WA aleikum greetings, please Bi. enter"

Said Teh Eli with a happy heart.

"Yes, the Papah you called, said Mamah at the hospital, Papah you are worried that his baby sister has no adults to take care of, so Auntie cepet here".

We nodded, Papah called Bibi to the villa, and asked Aunt for help because of her one-on-one neighbor, Papah asked Bibi to come with us, until Grandpa, and Aunt Ana came.

"Yes Bi. sorry to bother"

Tea Eli said, Aunt smiled.

"What's the name of the neighbor too, here let his baby sister Aunt carry".

Said Bibi then asked Teh Eli to give our baby sister to her, Teh Eli gave the crying baby sister to Auntie, Aunt holding our baby sister, thank God a few moments later the baby's sister did not cry anymore and fell asleep in Aunt's arms.

Around nine o'clock in the evening Grandpa, and Aunt Ana reached our house, we hugged Grandpa and Aunt Ana, we cried, we told Grandpa, we told, and Aunt Ana how Mamah was in pain because her stomach was enlarged, we were worried about Mamah, we were sad when we were afraid that Mamah would die.

"Your friends will be fine, already do not cry later tonight we pray tahajud yes, we pray with God so that your Mama will be healed".

Said Grandfather to calm us down, although in fact Grandpa was worried, and very sad to hear his firstborn get such a catastrophe.

"have you eaten yet?, your baby's sister dimna?"

Grandfather asked, we shook our heads, we felt no hunger, no appetite to eat.

Aunt Ana came up to us with her baby sister in her sling, when we were talking to Grandpa, Aunt Ana saw Bibi holding her baby sister while making milk pacifiers in the kitchen.

"Thank you Bi. for taking care of my grandchildren"

Grandpa thanked Aunt who had been kind enough to look after her grandchildren, Aunt smiled and nodded.

" Yes, sir, it's okay to be, if once I want to leave first, it's night".

Aunty says goodbye, Grandpa sees the wall clock showing nine more nights.

"Oh yes Bi, again thank you, maap well I can not anterin, his house where let Ana and Eli Anterin Aunty".

Said Grandpa, because Bibi is almost the same age as Grandpa is not good if you have to be among Grandpa who is not his muhrim.

" Don't have me used to come home from the Villa also like this hour, deket ko Pak my house, behind the villa there is my home village there".

Said Bibi refused to be delivered, then Bibi went home.

"Ana try to see in the kitchen there is no food, the child has not eaten, you cook with Eli, let the baby father is fat".

Aunt Ana nodded, and gave the baby sister to Grandpa and then Aunt Ana went to the kitchen with Teh Eli, Incidentally in the kitchen the food supply is still full, Aunt Ana cooks at the Teh Eli, help her, then we ate even though we were not tasteful, after that we gathered in the living room while Grandpa went into my room, Grandpa said not to be disturbed, we heard grandfather chanting the holy verses of the Quran, the voice of the grandfather who was teaching made our hearts calm, we fell asleep in the family room with Aunt Ana.

At midnight, Grandpa built me and Eli Tea to pray tahajud with Grandpa.

"Liya. banguun Eli.bangun..bantuin Grandpa yah"

Said Grandpa, I don't understand, help what Grandpa Means.

" Help what cake?"

Ask me, and Grandpa smiles.

"Bantuin Grandpa do'ain Mamah you, we pray tahajud, the three of us, let Aunt Ana keep Julian the same baby sister, you are the same Teh Eli pray tahajud help you Grandpa pray for Mamah,".

We nodded, agreed to Grandfather's request, then went to the bathroom to fetch water, and we prayed, prayed and read the holy verses of the Quran until dawn.

In the morning, Grandpa followed Papah to Hasan Sadikin Hospital, until a week Mamah was treated at the Hospital and then returned home, actually Mamah was not allowed to go home, and the hospital suggested that Mamah be in surgery, because there was a tumor in Mamah's stomach, but the tumor was a flat tumor, and not large, but why is Mamah's stomach so big as nine months pregnant, while the results of USG there is a tumor but not large may be as big as a plate of pisin, cup mats, and the shape of the flattened.

Mamah did not want to be in surgery, the doctor also gave him a drug that he said could reduce the tumor in the stomach of Mamah, and again his tumor is a type of benign tumor that will not grow, which will not grow, the results of the analysis of doctors of Mamah disease are not too dangerous but why the state of Mamah is so alarming

Finally Mamah was brought home from the hospital, almost a year Mama was sick, at home Mamah just lay Aunt Ana who takes care of the house and baby sister in my aid, and Eli tea, Eli, for almost a year Aunt Ana did not return to Bogor, while Grandpa returned to Bogor only once a month came to visit.

If the recurrence of his stomach pain Mamah cried in pain, we were very sad to see the state of Mamah, in addition to medical treatment we also gave Mamah water-water prayer, from kiyai or ustadz, from the, and we also pray tahajud every night, recite the holy verses into a glass of water after prayer, and give it to Mamah, to drink and rub it into his stomach.

With patience, and to the sincerity of Mamah receiving immediate trials from Allah, with the permission and power of Allah, Alhamdulillah Mama healed.
