My Father Illness

 On Sunday, 15 February 2026, three days before Ramadan at 6 pm, my parents went to the Malioboro. They went there by car. My father drove the car. Suddenly, my father felt short of breath when he arrived at Bantul. He brought to PKU Muhammadiyah Bantul hospital and he was hospitalized here at 2 am.

In the morning, on Monday, I got a news that my father was hospitalized at 6 am from my mother. She asked me to keep my father at hospital because she would check up to Panembahan Senopati hospital at 8 am. When I arrived at the hospital, I asked my father about the illness. My father explained that he had a kidney illness. I was shocked when I heard that. On Wednesday, my father was moved from Al Fath 3 to Al Kautsar 9 ward on the third floor. But, at the new ward, I felt it was uncomfortable. There was no sofa to sleep while kept the patient. There was only a folding chair. I decided to sleep at the desk near Emergency Unit Room (IGD). At 3.10 am on Thursday, my alarm on my handphone was ringing. I woke up to sahur because it was the first day of Ramadan. I did sahur at the Padang food stall.

I stayed at the hospital till the next day. When the sun was down, I drank a bottle of mineral water before I ate the rice and fried chicken. When I heard the sound of adzan at 7 pm, I went to the mosque at the fourth floor. I joined the Tarawih pray there till 8.20 am. After it, I slept beside my father and I woke up again at 3.15 am to went out and eat sahur at the Padang food stall.

In the morning at 9 am, I went home because I had a promise with someone to teach her son an English language at 1 pm after Friday pray. After taught him, the rain was falling heavily. I was waiting for several times. Several minutes later, I went home and the rain wet my clothes. After I went home, I put my clothes to the washing machine. At 5 am, I and my cousin picked up my father at the hospital because he may to go home. And today, we can celebrate the Ramadan together at home.
