AZMIA
In accordance with its nickname as the City of Rain, almost every day spilled water from the sky pours down Bogor, watering all of God's creatures that need water. However, right now I have to curl up in the hospital due to dehydration. All food is always vomited, making the body weak. This is the second time to be treated. Previously, he was rushed to the hospital because he fainted while picking up Mahira at school – the incident happened two months ago.
The food that enters the body does not match the nutritional needs of pregnant women, doctors are worried that something bad will happen to the fetus. Doctor Agus, who practices at Permata Bunda Hospital in Bogor – a place to check the womb since the beginning of pregnancy – decided that I should be treated. Plus a headache that does not go away, will be observed.
"Mia, I'm going to the office. I'll be back here in the afternoon," said Bram farewell.
"Don't forget to pick up Mahira, bring her school uniform. Tomorrow morning just leave from here, "I said softly, reminding him.
Bram nodded and left me alone. Despite forcing sleep, these eyes can't be closed. The pain in the head trumps all sleepiness. While grimacing in pain, Dr. Agus and a group of nurses entered the room that afternoon.
“Mia, I have something to say. It's still an early prediction, not final yet."
The words spoken by dr. Agus tensed up, he continued his explanation.
“I'm afraid you have a tumor on your head, Mia. To be sure, tomorrow we will do an MRI examination. But, you have to be referred to the PON Jakarta Hospital because the equipment is only there."
"What do you need, Doc?" I asked taking a deep breath trying to calm down, even though my heart was restless and scared.
"Agreement and signature from Bram for MRI examination," answered dr. Agus.
I was silent, while the nurse and Dr. Agus continued the examination, checking my heart and blood pressure. Suddenly my memory runs backwards remembering the events of last month. While checking the womb, met Mytha – a high school friend. At that time, Mytha was with her mother. They do a pap smear, they do it regularly once a year. It turns out that Dr. Agus is Mytha's cousin. Once you know, I'm Mytha's friend, Dr. Agus just calls "Mia" without the frills "mother" he said to make it more familiar.
The second coincidence, Dr. Agus is a friend of the owner of the Bogor Tunas Jaya Cooperative, the office where Bram works, since seven years ago. The third coincidence was that Dr. Agus turned out to be Bram's classmate at SMU 5 Bogor. My guess was right, when I first saw Dr. Agus, he was only two years older than Bram. Furthermore, Dr. Agus only called the name without the title "father" to Bram.
Since then we have become more familiar with Dr. Agus, he also paid special attention to the condition of my pregnancy and health.
"Mia ..." reprimanded Dr. Agus.
"Hmmm ... yes, sorry I was daydreaming yes," I replied in surprise while massaging my forehead.
I returned to focus on the words of Dr. Agus. God, that's how bad my health condition is. A bunch of questions raced through my brain, then...
“I… I… I want this baby to be delivered safely, Doc,” I stammered. A little bit of this tongue expresses a desire.
"Doc, whatever the result, I beg you, don't let Bram know," I said.
"As your husband, Bram must know your condition, Mia," said dr. Agus, "we need a signature, Bram."
Dr Agus refused my request. A long debate ensued and finally, with a heavy heart, dr. Agus agreed.
After more than a week of “vacation” in the hospital, they are allowed to go home with a bag of souvenirs – medicines for the mandatory “snack”. The MRI results stated that I was positive for an early-stage brain tumor. Even so, Dr. Agus asked that I really take care of my health for the sake of the baby and myself.
Bram did not know this disease that resided in the brain. He only knew his wife was tired, had to rest a lot and eat a lot. I didn't want to spoil the joy of Bram and our children.
Mahira can't wait for the birth of her baby sister, she is so cheerful and excited every time she comes home from school to talk to her baby sister. Brother Ihsan, our first child who is staying at the Sukabumi Islamic boarding school, always asks how the baby is in his mother's womb when he calls.
No... I don't want to spoil all their fun. After all, said Dr. Agus, it is still in the early stages, there is a high chance of recovery. Trying to reassure yourself that everything will be fine. Instill positive thinking, because it will provide good stimulation for the baby and the mother. Even so, you still have to maintain health, for the sake of the baby in the stomach - gently rubbing the stomach invites him to chat.
AZMIATime keeps moving forward, never stopping, forcing everyone to move forward. Three months have passed, but Desy's departure still leaves sorrow for everyone. The baby brother named Satria Desyana Hamdani, can already roll over. Mrs. Halimah herself takes care of Satria and Dina, she loves Dina and Satria very much like her own children.I, Mytha, Riska, and Wulan come to visit Mrs. Halimah's house almost every week. Seeing the joy on Dina and Satria's faces feels calm, Desy must be happy because her children are well cared for by Mrs. Halimah and Mr. Hamdan.The last memory with Desy, lunch at Botani Square crossed my mind, both eyes closed remembering how beautiful Desy was wearing a knee-length sky blue blouse combined with white trousers, wearing a white hijab with a small blue flower pattern. Imagining the jokes and happy laughter at that time, it turned out to be the last meeting. That's why Desy hugged us one by one, as if saying goodbye.“The destiny of life...”Sighing t
According to the estimate or better known as HPL - Estimated Date of Birth, Desy will give birth in one week. Assisted by Azmia and Mytha, she tidies up the room, preparing various necessities for birth preparation.They arrange the room that will be occupied by the little baby who will soon see the world. Not only are they excited to welcome the arrival of the baby, Mahira and Dina are allowed to help put the baby's clothes in the closet. Dina is very happy, soon she will be able to hold the baby.After tidying up the room, Desy invites them to have lunch at Botani Square. Riska and Wulan are waiting for them at the food court, they both have ordered food for everyone. Arriving there, not long after the food arrives and is ready to be eaten together.Dina and Mahira finish eating and say goodbye to go downstairs, they want to look at books at Gramedia. The mothers continue chatting as usual, while enjoying dessert."Des, did you have a normal birth?" asked Riska while sipping lemon s
After being in a coma for five days, Azmia woke up from her long sleep. She saw Bram sitting beside the bed, fast asleep, his face very pale and wrinkled. With a weak voice, she called..."Braamm..." Azmia called weakly.There was no response, apparently Bram was very tired after several nights of not sleeping waiting, hoping, and praying non-stop for Azmia to wake up soon. Once again Azmia called his name, even though it was difficult - her body felt weak and powerless. She tried a little louder to be heard."Braamm...!" Azmia called a little louder.While shaking her hands, trying to wake Bram up. After a few moments, Bram finally woke up and couldn't believe what he saw. He blinked, wondering if it was a dream or real, Azmia came to and rubbed his hands gently."Mia...?!" Bram shoutedAzmia smiled weakly at him, wanting to hug the man, but what could she do, her body condition did not agree with her wishes."Sister...!!!" Bram shouted while pressing the bell beside the bed.“Mia, f
BRAM“Beep... beep... beep...”The sound of an incoming message, so noisy as if reminding me of office tasks that must be completed. Sipping hot milk coffee while opening the cellphone screen, checking incoming messages. From the office - a frowning facial expression. A message from the guardian of the student Kakang, he asked to be picked up. Even though he had only been home to his boarding school for one day. It cannot be denied, Mia's condition now is not normal, it is natural that Kakang and Mahira want to always be near their mother.Desy has just come to visit Mia, she looks happy with her new family. If Mia was aware, she would be happy to hear the news that her best friend - Desy - will have a baby. Never thought Bi Mun would have a very positive influence, not only for Mia and our family, but also for Desy. Lips curved into a smile, imagining that Mia must be happy to see her best friend happy.Imagining Baren with Mia, his left hand massaging his forehead. I don't know what
“Hi, Bram, it’s been a long time since I wrote a letter to you, like when we first met. Do you still remember, Bram?‘A special man for Mother’, that’s what Mother called you. It turned out to be true, you are so special, even though you are not a perfect man. You hurt and disappoint me so often, but you are the best for me, for our children. I can finally understand the unconditional love you have.Did you know, Bram, Bi Mun invited me to the Grand Mosque, to attend the weekly study that she regularly attends. Ibu Fahri, who was giving the sermon at that time, discussed Surah Al-Ashr, the 103rd chapter of Juz 30, a short letter that was revealed in the city of Mecca. The letter was very short, but its contents were very deep:‘By time. Indeed, mankind is in loss, except for those who believe and do good deeds and advise each other to truth and advise each other to patience.’Life in this world is short, Bram. I don’t know how much longer I will be given. No, I don’t want to waste it
AZMIADon't know what to do, my life is like a puzzle piece that is scattered, scattered without shape. Missing Mica makes my health decline. Yesterday, accompanied by Bi Mun, I met Dr. Martin.The result, I have to do a series of tests next month."The tumor has started to spread to the brain stem. Surgery is one of the treatment methods to prevent cancer from spreading everywhere."Dr. Martin's words sounded so light to my ears, I no longer care what is eating away at my head, I am already immune to the pain. I just want to live day by day with the people I love, who knows until when.Desy, she keeps pressing, asking me to teach her. What should be done to help her? Mmh ... Bi Mun, it seems, she is the right person. Yes, ask Bi Mun to help Desy.Baren, if only I could accept her love, but in my heart there is already one name that I can't erase since she made her promise. Bram, that name that I have long wanted to erase but never could. Although it hurts but the love continues to gro
