Alhamdulillah, my soleh boy Ody has recovered
Assalamu’alaikum wr. wb.
My dear soleh boy Ody, your Auntie sent me this mail a week ago. I could not resist to imagine how you already grown up now, learn to talk your first word, do your daily activities, and so on. But what makes me relief the most is that you are in a good health condition after your operation process. You also already be able again to eat all food you like, not only milk like the doctor suggest in order to make sure that your tongue being well post the operation.
“Ternyata hasil patologi Odi, dia bukan kena hemangioma tapi fibroma yaitu tumor jinak jaringan ikat. tidak ditemukan tanda tanda ganas kok. Odi dah bebas kontrol dan dah makan normal lagi. O ya, semalam keluarga Sengkang telepon tanya kabar Odi & bapaknya Odi. Gw bilang smua baik-baik.
Odi tingkahnya lucu-lucu deh. Kalo lagi teriak2/nyeletuk ngomong suaranya dalam and agak2 nge-bas. Nyeletuknya bisa ngomong “kagak lagi”, “ada lagi”, (bagog, bijah, and macem-macem lagi yang gak ketangkap ngomong apa). Kalo lg jalan2 ngocehnya juga gitu, ntar sama tetangga ditanya Odi ngomong apa, lagi belajar ngomong ya. Kalo lagi jalan-jalan digandeng suka gak mau, maunya jalan sendiri & tangannya di kebelakangin persis kaya kakek-kakek mau inspeksi.
Kalo ada mobil mau keluar/masuk garasi gak peduli mobil siapa Odi bakalan heboh gayanya kaya mo bantuin parkir, mana tangannya ikut gerak-gerak juga lagi pokoknya lucu deh. Tempo hari waktu cuma minum susu doang, kita tanya Odi mau pisang gak, mau roti gak, mau ayam gak, biskuit gak? Semuanya dijawab “kagak” , tapi begitu kita bilang kalo gitu Odi mnm susu aja ya, Odi ngangguk-angguk sampai badannya juga njot2an. Waktu cuma minum susu kalo pagi bangun tidur dia gak sabaran banget nunggu Ria buat susu, Odi teriak2 & nggrieng apalagi ditambah digodain ibu wah makin heboh deh.
Ngocehnya Odi kalo lagi dicebokin lebih heboh lg, dia seneng sambil mainan air & gayung. Kadang2 suka sandaran di bak kamar mandi sambil senyum/ketawa gayanya manis banget.”
I really miss your daddy here, I still remember how my 12 days here become very different when he was around. I still think that he’s there in our room, waiting for me comeback from campus and knock the door. It’s a really sad thing because the reality says that your father has already left no longer being here around me.
Despite all the sadness I feel when your daddy left, I really think that this is another new episode for me and your dad as well, since once again we have to be separate for a temporary moment. This is for our own good I believe. The time will come when we as one whole family shall re-unite again. I just have to remember a piece word by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), to make sholat and sabar as our saviour in hardship. InsyaAllah, I will try to be patient here. One thing I really grateful on is to find out that you are in a good condition after the operation. You already be able again to eat normal food like usual, and you are active as well. This is only one little example of nikmat Allah which is being given to our family. There are a lot more which I believe we could not count or even realize. Alhamdulillah….
Be a good boy my dear son, give my sincere gratitude to Eyang and your daddy.
Wassalamu’alaikum wr. wb.
