A Tale of Ary

8. Look at Ary

It's been five hours since Ary was taken to a first-class inpatient room. Ary still remains asleep unconscious. Both of Ary's parents are very worried about Ary's condition, although doctors have said that Ary is fine because he has passed the critical period.

"Assynnya!" greet someone who enters jasmine room 10.

"Wa'alaikum salam.." replied the father and mother together.

"Bun, how are things? It's okay, right? No serious injuries, right?" Karin, Ary's brother, asked questions.

"So good, but still not aware because the doctor gave sleeping pills. So that he can rest and not move much." clearly mother tried hard to face this test.

"You rest first, must be tired of traveling long distances" said father.

"Wis manganese? Keep working piye?" ask mother.

(Eating yet? How do you keep doing?)

"Sampoon (already)! Karin took a week off, you don't have to worry." replied Karina while sitting next to the mother.

Suddenly Ary's hand moved. Father, mother, and Karin move closer to Ary's bed.

"Mi-Minnum." - Ary's voice.

"Have woken up, bun" said Karin as she approached the nightstand to fetch Ary's water. Then Karin starts giving Ary a drink with a spoon.

"You're lying down, let's not get dizzy" Karin said as she continued to scoop water into Ary's mouth.

Ary raised his hand as a sign, he had enough to drink. Ary can't use head pads yet. Because the position of the head higher than the body will reduce blood flow to the brain.

Ary closed his eyes again while holding his head, the pain in his head suddenly attacked.

"Ary, why are you nduk?" ask mom worried.

"Ary's head is sick, bun."

"Sleep again, don't move much. Let it heal quickly!" said mbak Karin. Ary started sleeping again.

"Father just sleep, let Karin take care of you." Karin asks her father to sleep because it is late.

Father and mother sleep on a foam mattress that is carpeted on the floor. The room facilities available are just that. Karin sleeps in the chair next to Ary's bed.

Tok...tok..!!!

The sound of Ary's nursery door being knocked on by someone.

"Assalamualaikum.." there was a greeting from the front door and the door was opened. Appeared some people in white-gray clothes. They're Ary's classmates. There are four people, namely Enno, Candra, Alex and Anton. They were allowed to picket teachers to visit Ary during the first break.

"Wa'alaikum salam.." replied the mother. "Ee, there's Enno. Here in!"

Enno and her friends shook hands with mother and mother Karin, father came home for a while to check the state of the stall. Ary is currently still sleeping, due to the influence of the drug this morning. Enno placed the fruit parcel she carried on the nightstand.

"This is all Ary's classmates?" ask mother.

"Yes, bun. What's Ary doing, bun?" enno. "Kok Ary is a pelletos, bun?" Enno.

"Ary had to have surgery on his head, so he was shaved until smooth to facilitate the operation." explained the mother.

"Worse yes tan, why have all surgery" asked Alex worriedly.

Alex was so worried about Ary when he was told this morning Enno, that Ary had an accident yesterday afternoon. He immediately invites Enno and Anton to visit Ary at the hospital.

Ary woke up because he had been asleep for a long time and also felt there were voices of people chatting.

"Mbak, drink!" Ary asked his brother for a drink.

"Yes, wait a minute! Don't move and don't get up!!!" mbak Karin's orders. Karin said so because it had been ordered by the doctor who handled Ary. Ary hasn't been able to move much, let alone raise his head.

Ma'am Karin started scooping drinking water, and feeding Ary a drink with a spoon. Madam Karin is very painstaking caring for Ary, because Ary is her only child so Karin loves Ary very much.

"Bak Karin when is nyampe?" ask Enno. Enno has known Karin for a long time, because she was friends with Ary since the 5th grade. At that time Enno and his family had just moved from out of town, because his father retired.

"Last night En, I went home as soon as I called my dad." Carin.

"What happened tan, how did it get into an accident?" ask Alex to be curious.

"Aunty's side doesn't know. Said the person who saw the incident, there was a small child who had just learned to ride a fast motorbike from the right side. Because it can not control the motor he was riding, so hit Ary who was passing at the same crossroads." explained mother.

Ary just kept quiet, it happened so suddenly. All he remembered was when he was hit and bounced. When he woke up, he was already in the hospital with his head bandaged.

"Who is that bun and how is he now?" asked Ary suddenly because of the curiosity entrenched in his head.

"Si Dio, son of Agus - Minah. He's okay, just a little scuff. Wes ra legitimately thought. The important thing is to be healthy!" Mother.

"You Maxi bun, where is he? It's not broken, is it?"Ary asked more and more.

"Mboh, ra knows!(I don't know) It's chatty! Take it easy, the important thing is that you are healthy first!" the word mother is full of emphasis because of anxiety with Ary's question.

Ary loved Maxi, his favorite motorcycle, his graduation gift at Junior High from his older brother, Handika.

Ary just silently scolded mother, actually he is still curious about the state of his favorite motorbike. If he still wants to know the state of the Maxi, then the mother will be more angry. He does not want to be a child for denying the talk of his mother.

It did not feel like an hour Enno and his friends visited Ary. They must immediately return to school, or they will be punished by picket teachers and miss lessons. Alex is reluctant to go back to school, but he doesn't want to be punished. With a heavy heart, he stepped out of the hospital.

While in front of the school gate, Enno and Candra cross paths with Bayu. Bayu, who has not seen Ary since morning, asks Enno about Ary.

"En... Enno!!!" call Bayu.

"Yes, brother?" Enno came to Bayu. "What's up, brother? Tumben nyari Enno beautiful and beautiful." Enno begins to be narcissistic and wants to exist.

The people who heard it immediately laughed, laughing. At that time there were Candra, Bayu and Bayu's friends.

"Hmppfft.. hahaha..."

"Just want to ask, why Ary from the morning does not look at the trunk of his nose? Where are you?" tanya Bayu does not want to lose her brother with Enno.

"Indeed, Ary kite, can fly to the wind continues to be stuck on what tree in the PLN cable?" ask Candra sewot.

"Ary is now in the hospital. Yesterday I hit a kid who was just learning to ride a motorcycle. That's why he didn't go to school. Cook kak Bayu do not know, whereas kak Bayu again near ma Ary!?" Cerocos the Enno.

"Near school! At home, Ary is closer to you! Which hospital was he treated at?" ask Bayu, he wants to see Ary.

"Private hospital in front of Bayu's house, jasmine room 10. It clear? I'm going to class first!" Enno wanted to quickly enter the class because there would be a repeat.

"Thank you, for the info!" answer Bayu.

"Later in the afternoon I look at Ary, the quiet fit of the buyer." muttered Bayu in heart.

Every day, after school Bayu always helps his mother keep the restaurant relics of his father. The restaurant is across the street from the hospital where Ary is being treated.
