Dara Manisku
Forgive your son mama

Already a week Axel in hospital, “ Doctors say what? When can I go home?” Axel asked Ihsan.

“I can't wait to meet Dara, please invite her to work at the cafe again like I used to”. Axel said while putting his clothes in the bag.

Ihsan fell silent while sitting down to see Axel busy cleaning his clothes .

“Mas Ihsan...! why shut up, What did the doctor say?” Axel asked back to Ihsan.

“Alhamdulillah you can go home tomorrow, according to Doctor there is nothing to worry about”. Ihsan finally answered.

“Nah..... thank goodness...finally!” I'm already here!” Axel then sat down next to Ihsan.

“Why was not answered if you already know?” “what's up?” is everything OK?” Axel was curious to see Ihsan's attitude.

“Have you talked to Dara?”Ihsan asked Axel.

“ Today not yet, what is it?” Axel was getting curious about Ihsan.

“According to the results of the police investigation, the Boss of the Tiger Gang or the Boss of the nightclub where Dara used to work has not been caught!” Ihsan explained to Axel.

“ What.... indeed there are still other Bosses?” “wait..tadi mas Ihsan said Dara had worked in a nightclub?” Axel was shocked to hear that.

“Astaghfirullah !” Ihsan feels guilty because she has released Dara's past to Axel.

“Yes ..God... look Axel, the important Dara now, do not ask again about his past yes, I beg?” Ihsan asks Axel to forget who and how Dara used to be.

Ihsan wants Axel to think more about Dara's safety alone, “We must focus on keeping Dara, because danger still lurks Dara at any time!”

“And the possibility of Dara will not return to Jakarta first, this is all for his security, the police have also cooperated with the Surabaya police".

Ihsan wanted Axel to understand Dara's situation which was not yet safe to live nearby.

Axel sighed fretfully, while looking at the ceiling of the hospital room, “so complicated Dara's life, I did not expect to have to be far from Dara like this".

“Sabarlah..jodoh Not going anywhere, hehehe “. Ihsan tried to comfort Axel.

“there is aja mas Ihsan, that's not what I mean, I just want Dara to be able to work again in my cafe, that's all !”. Axel tried to find an excuse.

That afternoon in Surabaya, Dara had not returned home six years ago where she was born.

“Still the same as before, mom..buy her almond crispy cheese yes two packs!” Dara stopped at a hawker shop where she used to hang out every time she went home from school with her friends.

Dara sat pensively in the food store while waiting for the time to break. Then Dara looked across the street, a lot of people crowding.

Dara was curious then walked to the crowd “What's the matter?”

“ Innalillahi wa innalillahi rojiun.it seems like there was an accident!” dara said in surprise.

Dara saw among the crowd there was someone lying“, God,. There's casualties!”

 Dara went straight into the crowd “excuse me...excuse me..!” and holding a woman who was lying unconscious.

“Pak...bu....quick...quick tel ambulance....yes Allah..!” “bu..bu..ibu ..is okay? Bu!”

Dara screamed for people to help the victim, then Dara tried to see his condition, behind the bodies of the mothers of the victims of the accident.

“Astaghfirullah's....Mama....? mom...!”

It turns out that the victim of the accident that lay was Dara's mother.

Soon Dara took her mother to a nearby hospital, all the way inside the Dara Ambulance holding her mother's hand.

“Mama...mama..wake up mama...wake up.yes Allah please mama ..mamaaaa!” Dara was crying.

Mama Dara went straight into the ER room and the emergency department doctor ran over to check on Dara.

“ Doctor...doctor ..please my mama..he..he..do not wake up doctor...from that I called no response!” what's up Doc? what's with my mama!”

“Mba...Mba please calm down!” Sister!” Sister please take this mba !” The doctor asked the nurse to take Dara away from the emergency room.

“But Doc..I want to be with my mama.dok!” Dara refused to stay away from her mother,

“Mba.. Mba..sit there first yes...Doctors are trying to help patients, you should be calm..if this Mba will interfere with the work of Doctors!” Sister tried to give understanding to Dara at that time.

Finally Dara said, Dara came out of the emergency room and sat waiting for news about her mother.

Dara's phone rang, kept ringing, but Dara did not want to know and did not want to lift her, her mind just focused waiting for news of her mother's condition.

“Hmmm...why not lift, Dara why ya?” it turns out that the one who called Dara was Axel.

“What's up?” Ihsan asked while driving his car.

 “ini ..I called Dara, but..not appointed,why?” I just wanted to let you know that I'm out of the hospital". Axel looked anxious as he stared out the car window.

“ just calm, at the most he is salary, Dara activities there are many, maybe he no longer holds hp". Ihsan responded to Axel's anxiety to be kind to Dara.

“Oya..bener is also “, Axel heaved a sigh of relief.

Then in the ER, Dara looks very anxious, he ******-***** his finger while continuing to beristighfar, “Astaghfirullahal'adziim...Abaghfirullahal’adzim..!”.

Shortly after that the doctor came out of the emergency room . Dara who saw it immediately ran to the doctor, “How is my mama Dok?” dara asked while stopping the doctor's steps.

“Mama you...must be immediately taken surgery, briefly I have to talk first with a surgeon ..severa ya!”

Suddenly the guard doctor stopped his conversation with Dara.

“Doctor Hadi !” The guard doctor called while holding the hand of the specialist who happened to pass by beside him.

“iya ..what is it?” ask Doctor Hadi. “maaf Doc, this is there an emergency patient I need to consult with you Doc". The ER doctor explained the condition of the patient, namely his mother Dara.

“Mba wait here yes..your mother is being handled by us, so just wait for the next news, pray!” The ER doctor asked Dara to calm down while praying.

Dr. Hadi also entered with the doctor to the emergency room.

“Good Doc!” Answer Dara.

Dara had been waiting for hours in the waiting room of the ER, but the emergency department doctor was not visible.

“Alhamdulillah...I'm home..!” axel entered his apartment. Ihsan smiled seeing Axel happy.

“Thank you so much Ihsan, because I have taken you home”, said Axel while putting his bag on the sofa. “please Sit down mas!”

“Iya..!” Ihsan answered and sat down while looking around Axel's apartment.

Axel went to the kitchen offering Ihsan a drink, “O..iya ..want to drink what? There is sofdrink or want tea, coffee maybe?” Axel looked through the contents of his empty refrigerator with no food.

“Sa relax... enough cold water, I have dates, you want to try?” Ihsan took out the package from her bag.  

“Boleh too, just enough to odd stomach, hehehe..forget not buy food for us to open!” axel said a little embarrassed because there was no food in his refrigerator.

“ Can I ask you something?” Axel started to approach Ihsan wanting to know something.

“ Why are you helping Dara mas?, I mean how close are you to Dara until Ihsan wants to intervene that far?” Axel asks the marketing wants to pry the story behind Ihsan and Dara.

“ The story is long, but usually there is no special”, explained Ihsan briefly.

“Masa..?” I'm sure there's another connection between Ihsan and Dara, if not...How can anyone help like that if you don't know!” Axel felt that Ihsan was hiding something from him.

“Begin... I'll story ..this is because you asked , rather than you think a no-no".

Ihsan started telling stories, too,

In the village where Dara contracted with Varel, there is a mosque that is very dirty and rarely seen in use for prayer.

Stand a young man who looks sad towards the mosque is magnificent but not maintained.

Then voluntarily the young man began to clean the mosque, and everyone who passed by the mosque was astonished, but many did not care.

“Excuse me..This child who is it?” ask a man of green sacrifice.

“oh ..iya..introduce my name Ihsan Al ghifary, I am a student of Islam” University, The young man put a broom and shook the man's hand and began to introduce his name.

“Ooo.I am the head of the neighborhood here, people used to call me Pak Haji, even though I have never had Hajj , hehehe". Replied the gentlemen kindly welcoming Ihsan.

“Alhamdulillah then sir Haji”. Ihsan responded to Pak Haji's hospitality with a joke.

“ well this is the state of this mosque, magnificent but quiet", said Mr. Haji with a sad face.

“Why sir, are there no Muslims here?” Tanya Ihsan.

“Not so, which is Islam here Many children, but who pray here Only me and my son just”. Pak Haji explained.

“Astaghfirullah “, Ihsan was concerned to hear Pak Haji's explanation.

Pak Haji recounted that in this area there are gangs that are very powerful and exert bad influence on the citizens, so the citizens are far from religion.

At the end of the road stands a place where residents often gather to gamble, drink while singing dancing.

That's where Dara works as a nightclub singer.

In short, Ihsan often cross paths with Dara who often returns home at dawn. Often heard the stories of residents around about the glimpse of Dara's household life who often quarrel with her husband Varel.

“While Dara himself just got to know me when the incident in pasar”. Reveal Ihsan who was telling his story to Axel who was carefully listening.

“ what happened to Ihsan?” Ask Axel. “ So I was accused of Dara stealing her wallet and I was in Dara's slap, hahaha!” Ihsan felt funny at that moment.

“Since that time Dara knew my name but every time she met on the street she never greeted, weird right? Heheh". Ihsan told how Dara had behaved to Ihsan at that time.

“At that time in the village, I began to investigate and collect some evidence, to be able to close the place of the crime!”

“Alhamdulillah.Police responded to my report, although I had to fight in court against some police officers who became the protectors of the Nightclub!”

“Sunday before the new year's night, the raid happened, I tried to find Dara but did not meet, some Tiger gang members were arrested, the club was on the police seal, and the police were not there, but still the nightclub boss wasn't caught!”

“then what happened to Dara?” axel asked increasingly curious about Ihsan's story.

Ihsan again said, “ when it was raining, I was buying fried food, that's when I saw Dara, raining, while groping her suitcase”.

“Where is he going?” ask Axel

“I also don't know”, replied Ihsan, then returned to tell,

 “I followed Dara from behind, then when on the side of the highway Dara splashed water from a passing car then he shouted , I could not bear to see it at that time, I could not bear to see it, Dara looks shabby and sad".  

“At that time I gave him my umbrella, and left him just like that". Reveal Ihsan with a face full of regret.

“Loh why Ihsan did not nolongin Dara?” axel asked a little annoyed.

“You know Axel, I've been in a coma for a year trying to help others, and I promised my foster parents not to interfere in other people's affairs again".

 “Yes at that time I knew Dara's condition but I also knew the Tiger gang was no ordinary plotter, I was very cowardly.I was selfish.I only remembered my promise to my adoptive parents, I don't want to make them worry anymore, but... I'm really sorry.”.

“Then why now Ihsan wants to help Dara?” Axel questions Ihsan's reason for helping Dara.

“Remember when you and Dara came to my apartment first?” tanya Ihsan recalled the first time Ihsan met Axel.

“Iya ..I Remember..remember I mas Ihsan did not recognize Dara at that time, how can I?” Axel was astonished.

“Of course I do not recognize him, it has been five or six years, it has been a long time I have never met Dara and Dara's appearance is very much different from his previous appearance, he used to always dress ...what yes...too open.yes that's how it is, and her makeup is thick once”. Ihsan explained timidly because she had to remember how Dara used to dress sexy.

“But after meeting again at your cafe, I started to realize that she was Dara, and I felt ...God gave me a chance to pay for my mistakes first.Mistakes when I ignore Dara, when she was in need of help”.

“ Well..That's how Axel, nothing special, I help Dara because of humanity and because of my obligation to help my fellow semi-civilians, that's all".

 Ihsan explained to Axel about His true intention to help Dara.  

“aaahhh... weird too!” said Axel spontaneously, “meaning?” tanya Ihsan was confused.

“Iya...time Dara forgot memory..why does he remember only you mas, whereas if from the story earlier, Dara never greeted Ihsan, Yes?” Axel was astonished.

“If I don't understand that either". Ihsan answered Axel while drinking a glass of cold water.

“What ... secretly Dara used to like the same mas Ihsan?” Axel expressed his jealousy towards Ihsan.

Ihsan who was drinking at the time, was shocked then choked and coughed, “ uhuk...astaghfirulloh.... The real thing is Xel, you are!” Ihsan laughed amusedly at Axel's words.

To the next day at the hospital, Dara walked limp to the waiting room of the operating room, her phone rang and rang again.

“Iya hello..?” finally Dara picked him up.

Ustadzah, the leader of the boarding school, Al Ihsan's daughter, called Dara.

“Assalamualaikum Dara, where are you, Ummi worried so much, from yesterday Ummi told you not to answer, what is it about Dara? Why not go home to the cottage?” tanya Ustadzah was attentive.

“ Wa’alaikumsalam Ummi.. forgive me for forgetting to tell “, Dara stopped talking and crying, “Mama Dara ....Mama Dara ..Ummi..!”

“Why son, how crying? Why is your mom?” Ustadzah was worried when he heard Dara crying on the phone.

“My mom is now in the Ummi operating room...Mama yesterday got hit by a motor..!” Dara recounts a hoarse voice while crying.

“Astaghfirullah. innalillahi wa inna ilaihi.....Yes Allah son.. who is patient yaa. which hospital, Ummi will be there with Abi!” Ustadzah

“Iya Ummi ... Syifa hospital...Ummi “'s. Then Dara stopped her conversation with Ustadzah, seeing Sister come out of the operating room.

“ Sister...how is her operation..how is my Mama...what is the operation successful?” dara asked with an anxious face.

Dara's phone has not been turned off, is still connected to the ustadzah, so the ustadzah also listened from there how Dara was so worried about asking the condition of his mother to the sisters.

Dara looked forward to the nurse's answer with tears.

What news did Dara hear from the sisters about the operation of Mama Dara? Was the operation successful?
