45 Days of Terror in the PKL

Episode 9

An hour later Anggi, Jonathan and Alex were gone. They brought back a lot of food and drinks and they saw me sleeping on Irene's thigh.

“Joana why ren??” ask Anggi.

“Gakpapa Anggi, he was just sleepy last night he had an adventure.” Irene replied with a small laugh.

“Oh yes also yes.” Reply Anggi with a smile.

Jonathan who was wearing a shirt suddenly opened his shirt. At first the others did not care but after Jonathan opened his shirt and wrapped Joana in his shirt they all looked at Jonathan at once, Jonathan who was aware of it said.

“Why?? How to see it you guys.” Jonathan.

“Gakpapa bang, wonder just possessed what it is.” Tasya replied as he looked at Jonathan.

“I didn't mean anything huh, Jo girl. Me and Alex the guy he's innocently asleep here not only we're looking but passers-by will also see a bit inappropriate we're here letting him a girl sleep like this because he doesn't wear long clothes.” Jonathan answered, sitting down and opening his drink.

“Iya yes bang, I also don't think anything kok.” Tasya answered and smiled seductively at Jonathan.

Jonathan who saw it just glanced at him and drank the drink he had opened.

“After this we where are we??” ask Alex.

“Today we get here just the activity, tomorrow we make a program today let's just say we observe yes. Before we go home to eat first let's get home straight break how do you think??” ask Ruth.

“Yaudah if so I agree, we get a theme about garbage right??” ask Alex.

“ Yes, we got a theme about garbage. How about tomorrow we observe again to TPA who is here.” Jonathan.

“Good idea is also bang, I actually agree how the others??” ask Anggi.

“I also agree,” replied Ruth the leader of the group.

“I also agree,” Tasya replied.

Irene who held Joana's forehead pensively, she seemed to ignore what her friends were discussing until Ruth interrupted Irene.

“ Ren's.. Ren's.. Irene.” Call Ruth while patting Irene on the shoulder.

“ Hah...what's it?” The shocked Irene replied in confusion.

“Why Ren, don't you focus on that anyway??” asked Ruth with a confused face.

“Sorry, sorry about what?? trashy?? That's our theme, right?” Irene asked to make sure.

“Yes, so focus dong Ren. How about tomorrow we observe to TPA first let you know what program to make next.” Jonathan.

“Oh yes bang, I agree kok.” Irene answered quickly.

Ruth who had not received an answer again asked Irene.

“Ren my question has not been answered, why ?? think about what??” ask Ruth.

“This is my hot hand or something. Joana's forehead is getting hotter and longer yes, this child's trus tumben really do not wake up immediately. Usually he immediately sits down if again rame gini.” Irene was a little worried.

Ruth approached me and checked my forehead with her forehead to check my temperature.

“Eh, Joana is sick yes this is very hot, how dong ni.” Ruth panicked.

Ruth tried to wake me up, calling my name and shaking my body. But my friends said I did not respond and drooped, I fainted. Because they panicked to see me like that, Tasya and Anggi immediately ran spontaneously to the front looking for a rickshaw (public transportation there) or motorcycle taxi that could take us to the nearest public health center. But at that time there was no public transportation passing, public transportation there was not much. 90% of people own a private vehicle.

Because there was not a single public transport through Alex and Jonathan went to the nearest resident's house to borrow a motorcycle to take me to the nearest puskesmas, when they arrived at the house, they immediately knocked on the door of the house.

“Excuse me ma'am, bu.” Call Jonathan and knock at the door that is open.

Shortly after, a girl came out.

“Ya what's wrong bang??” ask the girl.

“Dek can borrow a motorcycle no?? Our friend passed out in the hall of our village there is no vehicle to take him to the village puskesmas.” Jonathan.

“Oh can bang, brother wait there yes I will be there soon.” Answer the girl.

“Oke well deck, thanks yes we wait in the hall yes.” Jonathan said back.

“Iya bang, equally.” Reply to the girl.

Alex and Jonathan walked back to the hall, they reached the hall to see me still unconscious and sleeping on Irene's lap. Soon the girl came and had Alex and Jonathan ride me on a motorcycle.

Not answering and not arguing, Alex and Jonathan put me on a motorcycle.

“Ruth lu aja behind nih holdin Joana ntar we followed ya.” Said Alex.

“Oke bang, we go ya.” Ruth answered while riding and hugging me on the motorcycle.

“OK, be careful yes.” Jonathan.

The others were just speechless and confused as to what to do, especially Irene whose face was instantly pale in fear of seeing my suddenly sick state.

“Yaudah yok we walk, ntar stop to buy food first we yes surely Joana has not eaten tuh so it.” Jonathan.

“OK bang,” Anggi replied.

The five of them walked together without talking all the way and looked down on what they were thinking. They stopped at the rice stall to buy 6 packs of rice for them to eat when they want to get to the health center, because no one had eaten from lunch while the time had shown at 17:39 wib, he said, it's half 6 in the afternoon. After that they stopped by to buy some bread for me. After a 20-minute walk they reached the health center, where they saw Ruth squatting outside and sucking Vape as if thinking.

“Lu smoking Ruth??” alex asked half surprised.

(Electronic cigarette vape)

“Iya bang, if you think again aja.” Answer Ruth.

“Oh, what do you think??” ask Alex to come back.

“Tuh Joana just look inside, already conscious but the glue talking and his face is really pale.” Answer Ruth.

Suddenly one of the puskesmas guards came out and asked.

“Where do you sign??” ask Diana, a midwife who was guarding the puskesmas.

The shocked Ruth stood up and replied.

“At home sir Rojak and bu Rosiana bu.” Answer Ruth.

“It looks like your friend is not a regular sick try to buy rough salt later sow in your room around the room but do not let you know who has a house. Trus try to go to the shop next door to buy lime and cooking oil.” Say mom midwife.

“Let me aja bu.” Said the village girl.

“Sama I yuk let me accompany.” Tasya.

Tasya and the village girl went on foot to buy what was told by the midwife, the distance from the puskesmas to the stall was not too far so they decided to walk. On the way Tasya who kepo asked.

“Whose name are you?? We haven't met you.” Ask Tasya.

“My name is Dessy brother,” replied Dessy with a smile.

“I Tasya, greetings know Dessy.” Said Tasya while patting Dessy on the shoulder.

“ Yes brother.” Smiling at Tasya.

“You're still in school?” ask Tasya.

“No, I have finished High School, I am now 20 years old I have worked at one of the mobile phone counters in the village opposite.” Answer Dessy.

“Oh so.” Connect Tasya.

When they arrived at the stall, they bought everything the midwife told them to do: coarse salt, cooking oil and lime. After that they walked back to the puskesmas, arriving at the Dessy puskesmas directly into the puskesmas and gave all the materials he and Tasya had bought to the midwife.

“Bu, these are all the ingredients.” Say Dessy while thrusting a plastic bag into the midwife's mom.

“Des, please take a small plate gih squeeze the orange mix with the oil yes.” Said the midwife's mother while ordering Dessy to help her.

“Iya bu.” Answer Dessy and go to the kitchen puskesmas.

Inside Irene and Anggi looking after me, they looked at me but with puzzled looks. Because they said that I was conscious but my eyes were empty I just looked at the ceiling of the puskesmas without speaking, Irene who had been holding my cold hand was a little scared but agitated at the thought of what was happening to me.

Outside of Ruth, Tasya, Alex and Jonathan were waiting to eat, the food they had bought.

“After this we enter replacein Irene equal Anggi yes let them eat.” Jonathan.

We all agreed with Jonathan by nodding our heads. That afternoon the village felt very quiet, silent but the atmosphere was gripping for them.

To be continue.
