ARETTAS

EXECUTE A PLAN

These days, I've been visiting Aretta more and more. For various reasons, ranging from delivering Aretta's favorite food, buying clothes, to taking Aretta to go for a walk.

That morning was not as usual Aretta had not woken up from her sleep. The clock shows at six in the morning.

"Aretta, wake up ! It's noon." Said the mother a little screamed when she found out her daughter had not yet moved out of bed.

But the one with the name has not yet revealed the trunk of his nose.

Mother rushed into Aretta's room, and how surprised the mother when she found out her son was still covered in thick sheets.

"Aretta !" Mother said to get closer to Aretta's body and hold her forehead up to Aretta's neck.

I also panicked when I found out that Aretta's body temperature was very hot. He immediately took warm water and a small towel which then compressed Aretta's forehead.

Mom panicked when she found out Aretta's body temperature was not going down. Soon he ran to the neighbors and asked to call Aretta's father. Because no matter how severe Aretta's pain, it will heal quickly if there is a father beside her. I don't know what kind of theory that is.

Mom still panicked to the point of not caring about the buyers coming to her stall. Until Tati comes as usual to take Aretta to school together.

"Attt. . ." Tati called out with a typical child voice.

"Die, here !" Said mother calling Tati to come closer.

"Why, ma'am ?" Ask Tati.

"Mother nitip letter, yes. Aretta can't go to school. The body's hot from this morning." Said Mom giving a letter to Tati.

"Oh, yeah no pa-pa, ma'am. Later Tati convey to the teacher." Said Tati who immediately took the letter Aretta's mother gave her.

Tati also left Aretta's mother, of course after saying goodbye to mother.

Not long after, I came in a hurry.

Mom immediately ran towards the front door as soon as she heard the sound of the motor stopping, and wished it was dad.

Sure enough, the one who had been waiting for him had now come.

"Aretta's hot, yeah. I'm compressing, but the heat won't come down." Mom said as she approached dad.

"When, ma'am ?" Ask me who's headed to Aretta's room.

"Mother just found out this morning." Answer mother.

"Udah given the medicine yet, ma'am ?" Ask me when I get to Aretta's room.

"Not yet, yeah." Said the mother who was panicking.

"We're taking it to the clinic, ma'am ?" Dad said he was still holding Aretta's forehead and neck.

"Yes, yeah. I'll change clothes for a minute." Mother's words immediately passed towards her private room.

"Are, wake. I'm already here." He whispered in his son's ear.

"Cold, yaaahh." Said Aretta with a shivering body.

Dad took off Aretta's blanket. But how surprised father, if he did not find any object that makes Aretta's body temperature becomes hot.

At the roast chicken shop yesterday

"How about Are pretending to be sick ? Later Are just to say, if the father is with the mother together again, Are will be healed." Aretta whispered to her father's ear.

"Are sure ?" Ask dad.

"Yes. That mother is the kind of person who doesn't. Especially if Are already sick, surely all that Are wants, will be followed." Aretta said sure.

"But how is it ?" Ask dad.

"Easy, yeah. Are only the contents of the bottle with hot water, later pressed on Are's body. Guaranteed, it works !"

" Yes, set it up with Are. I'm following you." Said the father who obeyed his son's will.

In Aretta's room

The father who had just been calm, now turned into a panic.

"Mom, a piece of ma'am !" Dad rushed Aretta to his bike.

Mother followed, and sat behind Aretta. They also went to a clinic not so far from home, using my father's motorcycle. With a seat flanking Aretta. Dad's driving and mom's in the back, while Aretta's in the middle.

Realizing that both her parents are very compact, her smile begins to develop on Aretta's tiny lips. Although his current body could not feel anything, except the intense cold.

Motor has stopped at a clinic. After waiting for a long enough queue, it was finally Aretta's turn to be checked.

Back to the house

"Feed first, yeah. I made porridge. That abis, Are taking the medicine." Mommy said hurry to the kitchen and make some porridge for Aretta.

Meanwhile, Aretta did not answer. He was lying limp on his bed. Aretta did not want to, when the doctor suggested to be treated.

"Are, I'm sorry, huh ? Because of dad, Are to rich gini." Said Dad holding his son's hand.

"No, yeah. It's not all dad's fault. Maybe this is God's plan, to simplify our plan. So you don't have to pretend." Aretta replied in a soft voice.

"But still, I feel guilty." Said dad looking down.

"No, yeah. . . Nothing wrong, though."

Before long, she came to bring a bowl of porridge that she had made herself.

"Are eating, huh ? Here let me bribe you !" Mommy said as she approached sitting next to Aretta.

"Yes, ma'am." Aretta said according to.

"Open her mouth, aaaa !" Said my mother while opening her mouth.

Aretta just complies and eats mother-made porridge.

"Mom, Are can you ask for something, ma'am ?" Said Aretta whose voice was still soft, almost inaudible.

"What do you want ? I'll do everything I can." Said the mother while feeding her child.

"Are only asking for one thing, ma'am. But I promise you yes, you must obey Are's wishes."

The mother who was confused by the request of her son was not as usual.

"What exactly will Aretta ask ?" Mother said in heart.

"Yes, I promise !" Without thinking long, I agree Aretta's request.

"Are wants, mom and dad are back again. Are wants rich friends Are, who have a whole family." Aretta explained.

Deg !

Mom's heart beats when she learns of Aretta's request.

"If it is not granted, I promise. But if granted, I'm still not sure !" Mother impales.

"If it's about that, I can't decide yet. It's very hard for mom." Mother said her tears.

The treatment of the father to the mother all this time, flashed back in the mind of the mother. The feeling of pain that is now almost forgotten, is now remembered.

"Dad promise, ma'am. I will not hurt my mother anymore. I'm gonna change, mom. For the sake of our son !" Said dad trying to persuade mom.

"Mom promised, didn't you ?" Aretta.

The words of two children and the father made the mother's mind can not think clearly. Unknowingly, she nodded her head. Assented Aretta's request.

Like mother, this is like eating simalakama fruit, all wrong. But not for Aretta and Dad, who couldn't cover up her happy look.
