Rainbow for Aqila

Rainbow for Aqila
Hospital


"Mother!" Aqila immediately spread her arms smiling as her children ran towards her


Aqila smiled as her children ran into her room, still in their school uniform. He tried to wake up from his sleep, with a swift Naufal who had just entered immediately helped arrange a pillow behind his wife's head


"How was school, son?" Aqila stroked their heads gently


"Well, Ilal got good grades from the teacher"


"Ila too"


"Great" Aqila smiled, her children were now able to pronounce the letter 'R' correctly


It has been almost three months since he was declared famous glioblastoma, now his body is very tired, not even have any energy at all. His long black hair slowly fell out due to chemotherapy, his body was getting thin, moans of pain sometimes sounded painful when his head felt excruciating pain. In front of his children, he will be fine


"Fastly recover mother, let us get a vacation together" Aqila nodded rubbing her daughter's hair


"Mother must be healed" her voice choked, her pale lips quivered, this cancer made her feel excruciating pain


"Where are you going on vacation?"


"Previous mom said we were going to Lombok right? The beach is good said Ilal's friend who had been there"


"really? Then Ila would too"


"We'll go there when you're healed" Naufal could only try to smile


"Now change clothes first huh?, after that lunch, grandma has brought food earlier" Aqila so sometimes feel bad to Mama Intan or Umm Sarah who often bring them food


"I will accompany them first" Aqila nodded as Naufal got up from next to him, after the man's departure, she could not help but shed her tears


"Akkhhh" a headache from brain cancer makes her cry sometimes, but more than that her little heart cries for their little family


"I can definitely heal? I'm sure I'll be cured"


Glioblastoma, a malignant cancer with a rapid spread in his brain makes him sometimes choose to give up, but the voice of his children who asked him to be cured, Naufal's voice that gives encouragement, held himself to leave. Although the body is no longer able, but the heart does not give up so quickly


"Lord, if I'm right to go, please take care and make sure they're always happy"


He cried when he sometimes forgot Naufal, forgot his children, this cancer really affects his memory memory


"Mother is sick because it is not inget" Naufal said as his children asked why he was at that time, inexplicable because the child would not understand, later in adulthood they would understand


"Mother headache, headache until he forgets everything" a sentence that can be digested by a child who is almost five years old


.


"Naufal" Darren approached Naufal who had just got out of the car carrying his wife


The nurses had set up a gurney in front, and Naufal contacted Darren as his wife fainted


"This cancer has spread to other parts of the brain, chemotherapy and radiation therapy done is indeed a little able to control them, he said, the condition of the body due to fainting is a natural form due to excessive pain experienced by patients"


Naufal opened his wife's room after doctors told her how Aqila was weak, pale, sometimes having trouble speaking and forgetting


"Who are you?" The question came out the first time Naufal had just opened the door


"your husband"


"My husband?" The woman scrunched her eyebrows slightly, then raised her left hand stuck in an infusion tube, saw her ring finger that coiled a gold ring, she turned her head in another direction, before long a sobbing sounded from there


"Sorry Brother Naufal, I've always been a hassle"


"Don't talk like that again, you're never a hassle"


Aqila looked at her husband, she held the man's hand


"Take them well"


"We'll keep it together"


"Be a strong hero to them"


"We're gonna be heroes together"


"Be the resting place that is always there for them, be a teacher to those who teach kindness, be everything"


"We will do that together" Aqila nodded and closed her eyes


"Don't go"


"I just rested for a while, my head hurts" Aqila chuckled a little and Naufal just looked at her, he put his finger in front of his wife's nose making sure the woman who broke into the fabric of his world didn't leave


"I haven't really let you go" the man dropped his head on the side of the gurney


After school, Naufal picked up the children and brought them home. There was no welcome at the door as usual, they ran up the stairs to their parents' room, because usually their mother was waiting with a smile there


Naufal who saw the sight shed tears, he had not told the children, their mother was in the hospital. He planned to leave it to his in-laws, and then he would bring it later tonight. If he comes now, his son won't go home and the hospital isn't a good place for kids like them


"Mother is in the hospital, you go to the house of your grandparents first huh?, play with Kak Yusuf and Kak Zara there" Ilal and Ila just nodded, the two boys knew that hospitals were always something that was never good
