My Ustadz My Husband
The Part 77
Mukhlis, Dini and Khadijah can only pray and hope Bilal is fine. While the Doctor handled Bilal in the ER room.
Khadijah was incessantly crying when he saw Bilal's bloodied body.
After several hours of waiting, the doctor finally came out of the operating room.
"Doctor... My sister, how's my sister doing?" mukhlis asked with great worry.
"He had an injury to his head, his body was temporarily paralyzed by shock. In addition, he suffered a broken bone in his left leg. But the good news is that his brain is still functioning and able to respond. I hope you can give him a boost so he will fight and be aware immediately "
"Oh God...." Mukhlis tried to calm his heart.
"Is Zahra here?" Ask the Doctor. "The patient continued to mumble Zahra's name before the operation" he continued.
"Zahra is his wife, Doctor" Khadija replied, wiping her tears "But Zahra is not here at the moment"
"The existence of Zahra could greatly aid his recovery. He can hear you, talk to him, and please bring his wife here. That could be a strong boost to her "
Mukhlis bowed sadly. He didn't even know Asma had left Bilal's house.
"What exactly happened? Why did Asthma leave her husband?" Mukhlis murmured after the Doctor left.
"It was my fault" replied Khadijah.
"You mean?"
Khadijah told her all, she no longer wanted to cover anything, she also told Mukhlis and Dini, before Bilal had their accident quarreled, or rather, Bilal vented her emotions. Bilal must have driven in an emotional state.
Dini and Mukhlis looked very surprised and also disappointed in Khadijah. They did not expect that reality.
"You know your husband really wants children, how can you....." Mukhlis doesn't even know what to say anymore. It seemed very clear in his eyes how disappointed he was with this sister-in-law.
"Yes..." Dini holds her husband's shoulder "This is not the time to talk about it, we should focus on Bilal's election. And we have to pick up Asthma"
"Engga.." answered Mukhlis "I am ashamed to face the Asma family, they have been very kind to hand over their little daughter to Khadijah and Bilal, hoping Asma can bring happiness to Bilal... Asthma is treated unfairly. That girl is a teenager, Din. He doesn't know what." Mukhlis said as he glanced at Khadijah from the tail of his eyes.
"But Bilal needs Asthma right now"
"I don't know what to do, Din. Abi proposed to Uncle Rahman. I feel ashamed of them."
"Ummi and Abi will be home soon, hopefully they can help" Dini said. He was also very disappointed in Khadija. But everything happened, blaming Khadija was no use.

Meanwhile, Asma groans irritably as Adil pulls his blanket and forces her to get out of her bed.
"Back up, Deck." Fair Command
"Fine, Brother. Asthma is still sleepy" murmured Asthma.
"Quick go take a shower, we'll go pick up Lita"
"To pesantren?"
"Yes"
"But it hasn't been a vacation yet, Sister. Now it should be a test right?"
"Yes, today's her last exam. We'll take her home after Lita finishes her exam" Fair opened the Asthma room's hordes and the instant the sunlight burst out and illuminated Asthma's room.
"But why?" ask Asma who was back in the quilt.
"Because..." Just take the Asthma outfit from the closet and it reminds Asma of Bilal who once did the same thing, "Sister Lita is dying, she said, so I'll tell the housekeeper to let Lita go home to accompany her sister. Now hurry up and take a shower and change your clothes"
"Who?" ask Asma was surprised and he immediately sat up straight "Marwah is good, right? Arini, is Arini sick?"
"You" answered Fair as he tapped the temple of Asma with his finger "You are dying, in day time daydreaming, in night crying. Oh, my God, Deck..." Fairly patted cheek Asthma who is getting more and more taper day "Pipi already live bone kayak cheek grandmother grandmother's. Eyes are like panda eyes"
Asma throttled her lips "That word is prayer you know, sister. Brother Adil wants Asma dying"
"Not a big brother who wants to, but try to reflect, Dek. You've been like a living corpse"
Asthma clucked in annoyance, then she got off her bed and rushed to the bathroom.

Fair has arrived at the Lita boarding school, he also takes care of Lita's return, one of the sons of Kiai there is his friend, so it is very easy for Adil to bring Lita home before her time.
Asthma who entered the pesantren area immediately missed her own school and her husband. The atmosphere in the pesantren reminded him of Nora and Imel, and certainly Bilal.
Lita immediately ran and hugged Asthma. There, Yasmin and Fatimah also come to pick up Lita.
"Hem Miss Asma, really ugly really. skinny like a skull. Where's cheeks?. Left in jakarta, right?" chirps Lita who makes Asma frown.
"Again diet, because my clothes are small if fat" replied Asma origin.
After hugging Asthma, Lita kissed Yasmin's chubby cheeks. For months he had been separated from his nephew and he missed him so much. On the one hand Lita is happy to be home sooner, but on the other hand, she is saddened by the circumstances of her cousin, Lita still does not know what really happened, because both Fair and Asthma do not tell. Adil just said Asthma is having problems and needs Lita to accompany him.
After Adil finished taking care of Lita's return, they immediately left the boarding school.
Along the way, Lita continued to deceive telling about her life in the pesantren, Fatimah and Adil also participated in their stories while in their respective pesantren. Yasmin also joined their chat, although sometimes what Yasmin said they did not understand and finally became the material shared.
But poor Asma as if she did not hear anything, at the end of this she continued to think about her husband and often dreamed of him as if her husband was calling himself.
"Abi, Yasmin is hungry" Yasmin exclaimed in her crisp voice.
"Okay, up ahead there is a restaurant, the fried chicken is really good"
"Yasmin loves fried chicken" Chirps Yasmin in joy.
Fair also arrived at the restaurant he meant, Adil immediately parked his car and he invited them down. Asthma sorted it out and she was still with her moody face.
And accidentally, Asma saw a couple who looked happy, and it looks like the woman was pregnant and she ate with greed, Asthma sees the woman's husband cleaning up the leftovers on her lips. It reminded him of Bilal.
How much she missed in her heart to her husband.
"Sir..." Asthma flutter when Adil arrives Adil patted his shoulder. "What do you want to order?" ask Fair.
"Anything" replied Asma and once again she involuntarily shed tears. It turns out that this sick person parted with a loved one. Like being separated from his limbs, sore and sore.
"Tante cried on, his tears would run out" Yasmin said in a loud voice and it caught the attention of those around her, Yasmin wiping away Asthma's tears with her small hands, which actually makes Asma more sad but he tried to reveal the smile of what else people look at him.
"Yes also yes, later if the tears of Aunt run out how dong" cried Asma held back her crying. Lita who saw her best friend was sad really can't bear. He used to see sadness in Asma's eyes when Bilal brought him, but now he saw a much greater sadness because Bilal was not with him.
"Asma. If still sad, I returned again to the boarding school" said Lita, but suddenly Asma laughed a little.
"When the original you are happy because you came home sooner" And Lita was just a whimper, because it is true he was happy to go home earlier than the specified time.
Lita kept trying to tease her sister and just like Adil expected, Lita could definitely bring Asthma's smile back. That's why Adil picked Lita up. Asma needs her best friend right now, a best friend who can understand her feelings as a fellow teenager, and that person is just Lita. Which has always been there for asthma since they were kids.

When Shofia hears that her brother has an accident and Asma has left her, Shofia insists on coming home, she is worried about her brother, and also worried about Asma. what else their age is only a difference of two years makes Shofia can understand the emotions of Asthma and feel there is a bond also with his sister's wife.
And how disappointed Umm Mufar and Abi Khalil when hearing Khadijah's confession that led to the departure of Asma, what else was his quarrel that ended in Bilal's accident.
Ummi Mufar even almost slapped Khadija so disappointed him, but fortunately there was Shofia who prevented it.
As much as her mother-in-law was not disappointed, she loved Khadija as much as she loved Shofia. He even explicitly asked the child of Asma to Bilal to give to Khadijah. But what did Khadijah do to Bilal and Asma?
"The patient's condition is slowly starting to stabilize, but he must be continuously pushed so that he is immediately aware" said the Doctor after examining Bilal.
Bilal's been in a coma for five days, making his mother very sad.
"What else should we do to get my son to wake up, Doc?. We're all here, praying for her and supporting her"
"Don't give up, Madam. Mr. Bilal responds to every drug we give him, he fights for his life. He'll be conscious soon"
Meanwhile, Shofia approached Khadijah who is currently in front of Bilal's room.
"Mbak should go home, Ma'am should also keep the condition, so do not drop too"
"I want to wait for Mas Bilal to realize, I just want to apologize"
"Sister Bilal must have been sorry. So does Asthma"
"But my mistake was so fatal, I couldn't even forgive myself"
"Repent in a mistake it must be, but drown in regret it is not permissible. Everyone deserves a second chance. Bilal loves you a lot too, Ma'am. He may be angry but you may hate the same, Ma'am" Khadija smiled at him for still getting support from Shofia.
"Thank you, Shofia" Khadijah said, hugging Shofia.
Umm Mufar decides to pick Asma up, he will apologize to Asma and his family on behalf of Bilal and Khadijah.
Hearing that, of course Khadijah was very sad and embarrassed.
But Mukhlis and everyone else agreed to the idea.
"That's for Bilal's recovery, I'm sure if Asma is here, Bilal will definitely wake up and recover" Ummi Mufar exclaimed. "
While Shofia, she somehow has a different thought. He looked at his brother.
"Ummi, is it true the doctor said that you can hear us?" ask Shofia.
"Yes, Shofia"
Shofia sat down beside her brother, she brought her face closer to Bilal's face and whispered to check the truth
"Sister, can you hear Shofia?. Shofia just wanted to tell you, Big Brother's face is ugly, there are traces of stitches in the jaw of the sister. Ckckck, if Asma saw sister's face, think she still loves you, brother?"
"What are you saying, Shofia?" ask Ummi she's curious.
"An urge to get this old man to wake up" Shofia exclaimed with an amused smile and upset her Ummi.
"We're all worried about Bilal, you smile. This is not the time to joke around" Ummi scolded her half angrily.
"Look at the monitor, as Shofia spoke, sister responded, her heart rate increased, Ummi"
Umm Mufar certainly did not believe what Shofia said, until a nurse came to give Bilal medicine by injecting him on his infusion.
And when the doctor examined the monitar, he smiled.
"His heart rate is increasing "The Sister's roar. "If this progress continues, then the patient's heart rate will soon stabilize."
Umm Mufar was gaped in disbelief, but he was also pleased.so were Mukhlis, Khadijah and others.
"Shofia, what have you told your sister?" Urge the Mother.
"Secret" Shofia replied lightly. "Now Shofia wants to go home with Khadijah."
Ummi Mufar looked at Shofia full of questioning, his youngest daughter was sometimes a little ignorant, he was afraid Shofia said things that were not not not to Bilal, but the nurse said Bilal's heart rate was rising. Of course that's good news.
"Tomorrow Ummi will pick up Asma" Mufar said.
"But what will Ummi tell Asma and her parents?" Mukhla asked.
"Come,Son. Bilal's been in a coma for almost a week, and Asma didn't know this, she and her family must have been so angry and disappointed that they didn't contact Bilal at all"
.
.
.
Asma moved restlessly in her sleep, cold sweat returned from her forehead. And his lips again and again murmured Bilal's name, until he awoke with a stinging breath.
Asthma rubbed her face. He dreamed of Bilal again.
Until now, he is still waiting for Bilal's phone, what else when Adil says Bilal has found Astma's phone and will deliver her, what's more, Asma did not want Bilal to take her because he still did not want to meet Bilal.
At that time, Adil tried to call Bilal to say that Asma only wanted his phone to be sent. But Bilal's phone is off.
Asthma goes to the bathroom and immediately washes her face.
After that, he looked for his brother.
"Well at school, son. What's up?" tanya Umm Mufar after Asma asked the whereabouts of Adil.
"What's wrong, Asthma to school for a while huh"
Asthma follows Adil to his school, and because he is still in study hours, Adil is busy teaching in one of the classes.
Asthma waits for Fair until she finishes teaching.
"What's up, Asthma?" fair asked because he saw Asma standing since earlier in front of his class.
"Sister, did Bilal call brother?. When is he gonna send my phone?"
"Not yet" answered Fair, he took his phone out of his pocket. "Here, try calling him" But Asma shook her head.
"Not only who called" Adil immediately sought Bilal's contact and called him, but he frowned because again and again Bilal's phone was not active. Fair also calls to Asthma's phone, but is also inactive.
"His phone is not active, your phone is also" cried Adil who made Asthma sigh disappointed. "Would we call someone else, maybe his sister?" fair Suggestion.
"Don't" Asthma replied. Actually, he wondered where Bilal really was. Why did it disappear like it had been swallowed up by the earth.
"Dec, how about.... did something happen to Bilal?. because his phone has been inactive for days"
For a moment, Asma thought the same thing, but then she shook her head.
"If anything happens to him, I should be told, because I'm still his wife" Asma said sadly. "Maybe he...." Asma sighed heavily "He followed what I asked, which is not waiting for me."
