The Struggle Towards Halal
Chapter 18 Ayu's condition is still weak

The next day Ayu woke up from her sleep again she was able to wake up after a long dream she had about more than two weeks into a coma, Ayu opened her eyes slowly the scene she first saw upon awakening was the roof of the ICU room and the first one she heard was the sound of a heart rate monitor connected to her body.

Ayu was very grateful because he was still given a second chance to open his eyes and look at the world, in his heart he regretted his actions that almost took his life, it seemed Ica next to him was sitting while asleep, and she was still sleeping, Ica is a very loyal friend accompanying Ayu.

He then moved Ica's hand to wake her up

"Ica,," shook Ica's hand

"Ca,,,"try again to wake Ica

Ica then regained consciousness from her sleep

"Well, why Mom?"said Ica who just woke up

"I'm thirsty Ca" Ayu said with breath still panting.

Ica was confused whether Ayu could have been given a drink or not, she then went out for a while to ask the doctor

"Before Mom I asked the doctor first" said Ica then went out to see a doctor

Moments later the doctor entered Ayu's room and checked her condition again.

"The patient's condition has improved the patient can be given a drink but in small amounts" said the doctor

"I will also prescribe some pills for patients" he added

"Well doc thanks for the explanation" Ica said.

Moments later Bu Lastri arrived at the hospital and went straight into Ayu's room, he returned early this morning to his house to clean himself up, he then saw Ica was aware that his heart was very happy because his soul mate was able to pass through critical times, Bu Lastri grasped Ica's hand and kissed her.

"You recover quickly well son so that he can return to the way he was" Bu Lastri told his son.

Moments later the nurse entered the room and gave some kind of drug pills for Ayu to take, it was done because Ayu's condition had improved before he was only given drugs through injection, it was done, Ayu who was still lying weak had not been able to sit down he was then given some medicinal pills to take although Ayu still had difficulty taking the medicine but he was able to take all types of drugs given by the doctor.

That morning as usual Setya was still teaching at the School where he taught, he taught some things to his students about how to be grateful, trying, and trying, as well as being able to accept the fate that the god had set, the disciples who were taught by Setya easily understood the explanation from Mr. Setya.

"Good kids today's clock is done thanks for the time and attention"after that then head to the teacher's room to rest.

"Kring,,, cring,, cring,,"the bell goes home

Setya then prepared to go home, he did not go straight home but he headed south and headed to the hospital, before going to the hospital he first stopped at a store to buy snacks, after finishing shopping he continued his journey to the hospital, in the middle of the trip he felt something was wrong from his motorbike, after he checked it turned out the front tire of his motorbike was deflated due to a piercing nail attached to the tire of his motorcycle.

"Duh,, why are you deflating again where the workshop is far away again"Setya muttered

A few moments later Setya arrived at the hospital, the clock in his hand had shown at 02:00 because he had problems on the way so it took a very long time until he finally arrived at the hospital.

Setya then goes into the room where Ayu is treated inside there is Bu Lastri his father Ayu and Ica.

"Assalamualaikum,, excuse me" said Setya as he opened the door of the room

"Waalaikumsalam," answered those in the room

Ayu who saw the arrival of Setya seemed to smile she felt very happy with the presence of Setya at that time,

"This Mr. Ma'am's mission is to bring some snacks and some fruit" Setya said

Ayu's father then told Setya to put her food on the table.

"Sorry Mr. Bu if I can talk to Ayu for a while"Setya then asked Ayu's parents for permission

"Yeah can please" Ayu's father said as he called his wife to come out first giving time so Setya can chat with Ayu, it seems that Bu Lastri has not been fully able to accept Setya's presence he still shows a jutek expression in front of Setya.

"Assalamualaikum Yu, I'm afraid you've realized how you feel now?"Setya started talking to Ayu

"Waalaikumsalam Ta, I am still limp and my legs cannot be moved" Ayu replied in a slow tone

"You are as good as Yu, you can certainly recover hopefully with this disaster can be the remover of all sins whether you intentionally or unintentionally"Setya gave words of encouragement to Ayu

"Yes, Ta thanks Ta" said Ayu

"Yes, Yu yah you have rested first well you need a lot of rest until your condition can recover, I say back home yah Yu you have to spirit like Ayu I have known before"Setya then decided to go home.

"Yes, Ta you be careful well bring the vehicle do not speed my kayak" Ayu told Setya.

"Yes, Ayu"

Setya finally arrives at his home and passes on the latest news about Ayu's current condition to his mother.

"Bu Ayu's condition has begun to improve, Tata was able to chat with Ayu Bu" said Setya

"Alhamdulillah well Ta, finally the good boy can be realized again, we can not repay his services in terms of material or money but we can retaliate by doing good to him as we can"said Ms. Fatimah.

Fatimah's mother had indeed educated Setya very well from childhood to become a teacher Setya is a very obedient child with her mother never came out a sentence of rebuttal from her mouth, he was able to form the character of Setya to become a good person today.

On the other hand Ayu still felt very devastated when she experienced paralysis but she was sure she could still recover and return to normal as before the tragic event that almost took her life, he said, I don't know how long he will experience this condition even he doesn't know, doctors can only explain that Ayu's paralysis can still be cured but do not explain in detail how long Ayu will experience this condition.
