Happy Birthday to Me - 47

...🕯️🕯️🕯️...

"Oh nothing," replied Syifa who is now holding a smile trying to tell the figure of Nayla if she is okay even though her heart is honestly chaotic.

Syifa who was downcast sad slowly moved her eyes to look at the figure of Nayla who looks still smiling there as if she does not feel sad about her illness.

"Why can Nayla smile like this?"

"Why indeed?"

"No, it's just that Syifa had heard information and said people that brain cancer would make people sad."

"But Syifa saw that Nayla did not look at all sad, even Nayla was always smiling. Syifa was very impressed with Nayla."

"Don't be amazed by Nayla! Nayla used to even feel that Nayla's world had been completely destroyed.

Nayla paused. He bowed for a moment and looked back at the figure of Syifa who was so serious about hearing his explanation.

"It used to be that when doctors said that if Nayla had brain cancer, it really made Nayla's life feel really ruined, really ruined."

"Even Nayla always blames God for giving her this disease. All in Nayla's feelings always assume that God really does not love Nayla.

"Nayla felt that Nayla was created to feel sadness."

"Nayla initially refused to eat, refused to take medicine and only thought about death, although Nayla did not want to die."

"Nayla felt that Nayla's world had been destroyed. No parent can give Nayla a motive and a word of encouragement."

"Friends have also shunned nayla because they fear that they will also experience Nayla-like illness when Nayla knows that the disease is not contagious."

"However, the views of everything can not be changed.they do not want to meet with Nayla again especially now Nayla is embarrassed because of Nayla's bald head.

"But Nayla was trying to be grateful. Nayla can still use the hijab until the results of chemotherapy can still be covered."

"Now Nayla began to think positively that this life was nothing in vain. All have been given their own measure."

"We can't refuse God to do everything."

Nayla was silent for a moment after speaking at length. His gaze was blank until the shadows of those he cared about sprung up in his memory.

"Oh, I'm sorry Syifa. Nayla talks too much about Nayla's disease."

"It's okay. Syifa was even very happy to hear his explanation. Em, Actually Syifa has friends and friends of the Prophet's just like Nayla."

"He's sick too. He had brain cancer, just like Nayla," she said.

"really?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Oh, so Syifa's goal is to come here to accompany Syifa's best friend?"

"Yes right" Syifa said.

He just didn't want to tell me if the real brain cancer was him.

"Then how did Syifa's best friend respond after hearing that she had cancer?" ask Nayla.

"Of course he was disappointed. He even blames God."

"It's okay to blame God. It was indeed common at the time when he learned of the pain he was suffering."

"Maybe Syifa could tell this to Syifa's friends that God never sleeps. He knows everything."

"Does he still blame God?" Nayla asked again.

Syifa was silent for quite a while. Playing his fingers nervously until not long after he turned to look at Nayla who spoke again.

"If he still blames God, tell him that God is fair. God gave this disease to teach all of us that life is not eternal."

"Nayla doesn't even know if today Nayla can still live or tomorrow even Nayla could have died if God had taken Nayal's life."

"So that's what makes Nayla have to be able to smile and mengikhlaskan everything. Nayla knows God is in Nayla's heart."

"He knows everything. Especially to Grandma. One day Nayla will leave grandma and Nayla decides to give a smile to grandma."

"Nayla wants to use Nayla's last time with a smile and happiness. If Nayla is going to die, Nayla wants to leave this world with a smile."

"Nayla wants to do good. Nayla doesn't want to make the person Nayla left behind happy with Nayla's departure."

"Nayla's just trying to make people love Nayla. So that later when Nayla leaves this world there are those who cry Nayla even though Nayla knows no one will cry over the figure of Nayla if Nayla is picked up by God later."

Syifa tears dripped down her cheeks until it fell on the back of her hand. He did not expect that there was a girl who was so sincere and sincerely accepted her pain to a suffering.

Unlike her who even blamed God for the disease she suffered. Syifa should have seen and imitated Nayla who could still smile like this.

Syifa could see Nayla's sad face, but her smile forced her to put on her face.

"Hey, why are you crying?" tanya Nayla made Syifa quickly wipe away her tears.

"It's okay. Syifa was just sad. Syifa did not expect it to turn out that Nayla was so very sincere and very kind."

Nayla just smiled a little and then she bowed while playing her fingers whose wrists were seen with infusions.

"Oh yeah how about we be friends!" tawar Syifa's.

"Friendly?"

"Yes. Syifa wants to be friends with Nayla. What can?"

Nayla's smile was engraved clearly in Syifa's eyes. He looks so happy.

"Well, Nayla wants to" he said, reaching out to Syifa to quickly return the hand from Nayla's skinny fingers. Is this one of the effects of chemotherapy as well?

"Old granny no?"

The voice of the question was heard accompanied by the sound of the door being closed. Syifa and Nayla turned to look at the figure of the old woman who was putting a bushel on the iron table.

"Not long after, there's Syifa accompanying Nayla here."

"Oh yes thank you, Syifa. You can go home now, maybe you're tired."

"Nature is not tired at all, Grandma," he replied.

He slowly got up from the chair he was sitting in and smiled back at Nayla who also extended a smile to him. For some reason, seeing Nayla smile made Syifa feel very peaceful.

Syifa felt that she was not alone in dealing with this disease

"Oh yeah if Syifa comes here tomorrow, what can it be?"

"It's okay. Just come! Nayla would be happy. Yeah, isn't Nayla?" grandma's words made Nayla nod her head.

"of course. Syifa can come to meet Nayla. Nayla's gonna be happy that Nayla's got a new best friend."

"Nayla was right even Nayla was often lonely because no one was accompanying her here. Especially if every afternoon Grandma had to go home to take food at home so no one was looking after Nayla. Yeah, isn't Nayla?"

Nayla nodded back.

"Yes, Syifa said yes, Grandma, Nayla!"

"Yes be careful" he answered, making Syifa step out of the door of Nayla's room.

Syifa took a deep breath and blew slowly. Now it looks like Syifa has to make a change. Change in her and make Nayla an example in her life by facing everything with a smile.

A smile!
