A Tale of Ary

10. Return from the Hospital

Ary's been hospitalized for a week. Today Karin will return to work because the leave she took is up. The day before Karin's departure to Surabaya, Aditya's family came to her parents' house to propose. At that time, Karin explained her heart why she did not want to accept Adit's love. Karin has no feelings for Adit, other than to regard Adit as a best friend.

Every day during Ary's treatment, Bayu always visit even at different hours. Because Bayu often visited Ary, Ary always lectured his family. They do not want Ary dating first, Ary is still a unstable teenager who has much to learn to recognize someone personally. They don't want Ary's feelings to be hurt by dating.

"Mbak, pammit. You don't be reckless, obey your father! Don't install again!" karin's message to Ary.

"Yes mad! Be careful on the road! Come home later bring the husband yes." said Ary while greeting Karin's hand.

"Bring husband? Looking for an easy husband?! Wes gek ndang healthy ben ra nyusahin daddy mom!"

(Udah healthy spit so as not to bother your father)

"Where do you take the bus? From the front, don't go to the terminal. If there is a direct bus ride until aja, Eka or Sumber Kencono. Let's not go back and forth on the bus." father's message.

"Express well. Karin took the bus from the front of the hospital, so don't bother." Carin

(Yes yeah)

Karin shook hands with her father and mother, to return to Surabaya. The city where it has been all this time.

"Be careful yo, nduk!" said mother.

"Yes, Bun. Assalamualaikum" Karin left the room. Karin was not escorted by father, because the hospital was on the side of an inter-provincial highway. So it's easy to get the bus out of town.

Fifteen days into treatment, Ary's condition has improved and the doctor has allowed Ary to go home. Today Ary's mother finished packing her things. After being examined by the doctor and the father cleared the hospital administration, Ary was allowed to go home.

"Aahhhhhhhhhh... Glad my heart lost the heat of my fever..." Ary hummed a little, he was very happy that he was about to leave the hospital that smelled of medicine.

"Some of the mother's child." Mother stopped Ary's humming.

"Hehehe... 😁. Ary's really cool, bun."

"Don't install it first. Lackey, Jo kakehan polah? (not much movement). You still have a lot of rest, said the doctor, you can not go to school for four weeks. This means you still have to undergo recovery treatment for the next week." mother explained the message from the doctor earlier.

After the father finished taking care of the administration, they went home. Dad riding a black Innova antelope. The car of my father's hard work during his time as an SD teacher.

Arriving at home, Ary greeted residents around his home. They not only visited Ary when in the hospital, once Ary came home from the hospital they welcomed Ary home with joy. They love Ary, because of Ary's good temperament all this time.

"Where is Ary healthy? Don't move much first. Take Ary to Wid's room, let her rest" said one of Ary's neighbors as she gently stroked Ary's head.

"Wes gek break kono, we just chat here."((It's a quick break there) said the other mother.

"Ary, excuse me, want to enter the room." said Ary to the mothers who surrounded him earlier, he salami one by one.

Ary also left the parents earlier, he walked to the room assisted by mother.

"You rest first, mother wants to treat the mothers sik. I'm going to the stall again" said the mother.

"Express, bun." replied Ary.

Mother also came out to meet the guests had welcomed Ary's return.

Morning at Ary's school.

"En, do you know when Ary came home from the hospital?" ask Alex to Enno. They are currently eating in the cafeteria.

"Ary wasn't bothered? He's gonna be sick again, he needs rest" Alex said.

"Keep me who ma who, dodol! If not SMS or call Ary, I don't know. You see, yesterday I did not go look at him." replied Enno then put a spoonful of meatballs into his mouth.

"Why don't you look at him? Vaaahh... Not loyal, buddy! You're pacing up and down, you know loe!" anton said as he threw the pea shell towards Enno. The pea peel hit Enno's cheek, then fell into Enno's meatball bowl.

"Haseeemm! So slob my meatballs, where am I still lager again! Replace the new one, this one's for loe. Scrap!!! Laper me, want to loe the one I bit?" Enno was angry that the pea skin went into her meat bowl.

"Yeah, I'm pesenin again. But where's the money?" answer Anton. Actually, he was lazy to order meatballs again, but because he did not want to get rampaged by a lioness. He finally left too.

"Honey, you pay! It's Loe who makes the slob, the responsibility is little! Enno.

"Yes, I paid! But use money loe." said Anton while grinning to show his teeth.

"Basic kampret loe!" sumpat Enno while offering a piece of blue paper money.

"Hey Lex, he said loe love ma Ary. Dear ma do'i, how come you don't look at him anymore! Which evidence?" enno said to Alex while raising her finger to form the letter O.

"Not love, Ndir! I'm all my parents, I also see his brother's face. It's grumpy!" alex said as he spread his shoulders. (Alex calls Enno Mandir more often).

"Look easy! Ary's parents are all good, but if it's really fierce." said Enno. "Mbak Karin same mother beti, different thin. Relax his father. Understandably, the mother is a math teacher so it must be fierce."

"Yes, right. Mother of math teacher, so Ary can be a champion of the Olympic math." said Anton suddenly while carrying a bowl of meatballs for Enno, and a plate of fries.

"Well, how do you know Ary's a math teacher?" alex asked as he plucked the freshly placed fries on the table.

"Gue knew hearing from Ary's own mouth. When Junior High won the Provincial maths Olympiad" Anton replied.

"Well, don't you have my own story?" Alex.

"Loe is not!" Anton continued to eat hot fried potatoes.

"She said love but did not know, always missed the news about the adoration of his heart. Hadev...😔" Enno taunts Alex.

"Ary was at his house, just entered the room. So don't you nenggokin Ary at his house? Don't miss the news again!" enno said after getting an SMS reply from Ary.

"Where was Candra, by the way, when wasn't she here?" ask Anton.

"Well, did you know me?" ask Candra who suddenly came while hitting Anton's shoulder.

Candra sat down then grabbed Enno's glass, and immediately ran out of it.

"aaa... Drink me!!!" shout Enno.

"Not to be lebay! Peels are so people! I'll buy you a bottle of tea" Candra said as she stuffed a piece of fries into Enno's mouth. Candra was anxious with Enno's mouth, so she stuffed Enno's mouth with fries.

"Come on, get to class. You guys talk till you don't hear the bell ringing." continued Candra. He stood up to buy a bottled drink.

The four of them walked to class. Once in front of the class, the teacher was already standing at the door waiting for them.

"Because of the punishment again." said Enno lethargic.
