A World Without Seams

"Jiiiimmm!"

"Hul...!"

"Rachel...!"

The voices are mutually exclusive. At first the sound was felt far away then the longer it got stronger and someone slapped his cheek. Rachel blinked her eyes and saw Bram squatting in front of her with Noey with an anxious face. Rachel sat down and rubbed her eyes.

"You why? Sleep on the terrace!"

"Aps... I'm on the porch?" Rachel twirled her body and rightly she fell asleep on the porch. Does he dream while walking?

The wind in the morning made him shudder. But no, her clothes were wet and the umbrella she wore last night was there, leaning on the patio chair and the floor around the end of the umbrella was still wet. This is not a dream!

Rachel ran to the gate and looked around. Who knows if there's Jim, but nothing. The streets contain only workers and school children who will go to their respective destinations. There are also some sellers who sell merchandise. There's nothing she knows.

"Why you?" tanya Bram also bent his head over the fence.

"It's okay,"

"Sound! Why did you sleep on that porch? Why-why what?"

"When do you care?" hatch Rachel.

"Either wrong? So it was, too,"

"Oh yeah? Then where's your boyfriend? Don't whack! He misunderstood me!" Rachel pushes Bram's body making the man hit the porch pole of the house.

"Aarrrgh! Bar-bar chick!" bram's Oath.

"Belgium!" Rachel snarled and went into the house. His half-dry clothes made his body uncomfortable. Rachel grabbed a towel and went into the bathroom. While taking off his clothes, there was a piece of paper falling out of his shirt pocket. The hospital address!

That means last night was true. Rachel meets Jim. Jim was in pain but how did the young man bring Rachel home? Rachel immediately remembered her promise, so she rushed to take a shower and prepared to go to the hospital. As per Jim's message, he will help the young man to meet his mother.

However, in front of Bram's room door blocked him.

"Where are you going?"

"It's none of your business!" Rachel walks away from Bram, but the man immediately blocks Rachel's hand.

"You're not going anywhere today!"

"Don't try to get in my way!" threaten Rachel.

"The temperature of your body is hot! You fever! Can't it be finicky? Rest up! Take medicine! After that it's up to you!"

"But I have an appointment!"

"Died calling!"

"I don't have the number!" Rachel almost desperately said it.

"Udah, you have a fever. Ngigau ni, get in the room!" Bram's orders.

"No! I'm going!"

"Lake in!" snapped Bram. Rachel instantly widened her eyes in disbelief. Bram. Rachel looked at Bram fiercely then turned to her room. He threw the door behind his back. Bram sucks!

With annoyed and slightly grumbling Rachel climbed onto the bed, she pulled the blanket over. He felt a little cold, cheerful. It might catch the wind but he was worried about Jim keeping his promise.

Noey soon delivers breakfast and medicine to Rachel.

"Sister, let's have breakfast first" Noey flicked up Rachel's blanket.

"Youngpong..."

"Relax, they go to work. Breakfast first, take medicine. I'll take my sister to the hospital" Noey said.

"Your job?"

"I'm off, replaced by cement," Noey gave me a bowl of warm soup. Tastes refreshing. Rachel finished a bowl and took her medicine.

"Tumben you cook it well" said Rachel handing Noey her bowl of soup.

"Uhm... It's not me who's cooking" Noey said scratching his head.

"Sister Cecil, that eeeh..."

"It's easy Noey," Rachel smiled.

"I thought you guys fought and..."

"No, I don't think anything's wrong. He's the only one avoiding me. Relax Noey," Rachel said quickly overcame Noey's bad taste.

"Pantesan, he'll bring the soup brother. But I was confused and she told me that" Noey said.

"Hmmm... That is, I'll say thank you to her, "Rachel smiled. Noey held out both thumbs.

"And I was assigned Bram to keep brother until he recovered, but I helped brother escape to the hospital," Noey smiled.

"Thanks Noey, actually wanted to go this morning but my body also felt sick to all," said Rachel.

"The weird part is, girls sleep on the porch. Where's the rain again,"

"I don't think I slept there last night, I left... Huahaadhmmm... I'm sleepy, I'll tell you later" Rachel lay down because she couldn't stand the sleepiness from taking the medicine.

During the day Rachel wakes up and realizes that it is too late. Rachel walked out of the room with a fairly light head but not with her nose. Looks like it's the flu.

Rachel came out of the room and saw Noey eating something fruitful in a bowl.

"Sister! Did you eat?" ask Noey.

"No, I'm going to the hospital right now,"

"But..."

"There's no time, no more,"

"Let's wait a minute, I'm anterin!" noey said as he stood up and placed his bowl into the kitchen. Both of them rushed to the hospital in question.

Arriving there, Rachel rushed towards the room inscribed on the paper given by Jim. In front of the room was Jim's mother staring blankly.

"Excuse me..."

"Yes?" the woman realized from her daydream, her forehead wrinkled at the sight of an unknown person.

"I'm Rachel, and I want to meet Jim and Auntie. Is aunt Jim's mother?" Rachel ascertained. The woman nodded.

"Are you Jim's friend? I've never seen you,"

"Yes, but we haven't known him for a long time. Just the last few months,"

"meaning?"

"Yes we know only about 3-4 months. And last night he told me to come here to see my aunt, where is Jim?" ask Rachel.

"You're not wrong? How could it be.." The woman who turned out to be Jim's mother clenched her mouth and the tears came back.

"Aunty is okay? What's up?" Rachel sat down next to him followed by Noey.

Jim's father came from the room shortly. He saw his wife and hugged her.

"Who are you?" tanyakanya.

"I'm Rachel and this is Noey. I'm a friend of Jim's" Elena replied.

"We wanted to meet Jim" Noey said.

"You're friends?" ask father. His mother was crying and shaking her head while crying. Then his mother went limp and fainted. Her husband held the wife's body.

Noey immediately called the doctor and Jim's mother was examined. He has low blood pressure and he never sleeps well plus eating at irregular hours makes his body drop.

They accompanied Jim's mother until she came to her senses with an infusion tube in her hand. She was still crying and Rachel and Noey were confused.

"Jim.." he whispered softly.

"Jim's? What happened to Jim aunt? Did something happen?" rachel asked with her head throbbing because she wasn't so healthy.

"Jim...."
