8 To 4: The Mayor's Contract Wife

Pox

Not only focus on education, because Ajeng, Wira is very keen to build a desalination system or distillation of water that can turn seawater into fresh water. Although it had failed many times due to the limitations of tools and resources, it was unwilling to give up because fresh water became a very serious problem on the small island. Moreover, because he did not want Ajeng tired of pacing home to the clinic just to take a shower.

That day, he again managed to create a simple distillation system that he had dreamed of all along. But the resulting water discharge is very little so that the Hero feels the need to renew. Even so, the residents who helped Wira for several months were very happy to see there was fresh water dripping from their refining equipment. So that afternoon, the residents held a meal together to celebrate their success.

“Kids on where, Sir?” ask the hero when they do not see the child of the owner of the house where they hold a meal together, wandering outside as usual.

“Sick, Mr. Wira. Already two days of high fever and appear red bumps on his hands and feet.”

“What?”

“True Mr. Wira. Our son also has a fever and spots appear on his hands.” The other parents.

“My son too. Even my wife today also started to have a fever.” The other one.

Feeling suspicious, Wira immediately went in and checked the condition of the homeowner's child and it turned out to be true. The child's body was filled with watery reddish patches all over the body including his face.

The hero then goes to another resident's house and finds the same thing. He rushed to the clinic and it turned out that it was full of patients with the same complaints.

“Dok, what happened?” ask Wira to doctor Husein and Sister Dara who is busy treating her patients who are booming.

“Pox outbreak.”

“What?!” The hero was stunned for a moment. “How is the condition?”

“This is bad, Wir. Our drug supplies are running low while the number of victims continues to grow. We have sent a letter to the nearest Health Service asking for additional drugs. But to this day has not received a response.”

“This outbreak will continue to grow if we do not isolate the victim as the transmission becomes faster.”

“Good, I understand.”

With the help of residents, Wira went to all the houses whose family members had complaints of fever and spotting. He identified the patients according to the doctor's recommendation and took them all to the clinic to be isolated. While the residents are still healthy and survive, tasked with keeping the logistics supply of the hospital safe.

The hospital gate was already closed when Ajeng heard the news of the outbreak.he frantically searched for the whereabouts of Wira and it turns out that the man was already inside the hospital helping dr. Husein and Dara are overwhelmed and in need of medical help.

“Mas!”

Wira approached Ajeng who was panicking in front of the clinic gate.

 “Jeng, for a while I will stay here helping dr. Husein and Dara treated the patient. Anyway I also have to quarantine because I might also be exposed to smallpox virus.”

“Then, what should I do, Mas?”

“Go to the dock. About five hundred meters towards the city, there was a small grocery store owned by Boni. He's my man, you can stay and ask him for help until the ship comes back to pick you up. Most importantly, when successfully getting a signal, immediately contact Abdi and ask him to send drugs and all the needs that have been dr. Husein write here!”

Ajeng nodded in understanding.

“After the boat will leave. You better hurry.”
