Linda's Condition

In the hospital.

Linda's condition has improved. His bruises and wounds were no longer visible.

But, during her time in the hospital, Linda never wanted to say anything. He did not complain about his fate to his mother.

Maybe he felt that his mother could do nothing to help him.

Linda just spoke as necessary. Or when asking about her son, Erli.

His mother, who always waited for Linda, did not ask much. He did not want to add to the burden of his son's mind. With all the answers that must be given, to answer the questions from him.

While Ferry police came to this hospital, to accompany him, if his mother was coming home or indeed he was not working.

Besides, it was practically just her mother who was waiting for Linda.

The doctor came to check on Linda's condition this morning. She checked her blood pressure, eyes and also asked Linda, with what her patient was complaining about.

"Is anyone feeling sick, ma'am?" ask the doctor, who came with the nurse.

Linda shook her head, then asked the doctor who examined her. "There is no Doctor. Nothing hurts anymore. Can I go home, Doctor?"

The doctor requested a paper report made by the nurse. He researched for a while, then said, "We wait until noon huh. This is the infusion liquid let it run out first. If you want to run out, do not forget the report of the guard nurse pads. Let it go."

Linda nodded in agreement to the words spoken by the doctor.

So did her mother Linda, who was very happy, because in the end, Linda was able to go home.

"Alhamdulillah. Thank goodness then Doc. Thank you," said Linda's mother, as the doctor said he would continue his duties.

"Thank you Doc" Linda said, smiling.

"Together Mum."

The doctor nodded his head, then walked towards the door. He came out with the nurse who followed him.

"Mom. Linda just wanted to go home" Linda told her mother.

"Certainly go home. Where do you want to go home?" Linda's mother, confused by her son's request.

"Mom. I mean Linda, Linda wants to go home, Mom. Not to Ferry's house," Linda replied, explaining to her mother.

"Yes-yes. I understand," said Linda's mother, nodding to Linda's request.

Of course his mother will also feel calmer, if taking care of Linda in her own home.

She did not have to bother to go home to her daughter-in-law, because she could not possibly take good care of her child, if she had to go home by herself.

He will also feel sad, because the house is the home of the Ferry police.

"Erli how's Mom?" ask Linda again, asking about the situation of her son, Erli.

During this time, Erli was never invited to the hospital. Linda's son was at home with his father and sister.

If his sister is in college, only his father will take care of Erli. And by taking care of her granddaughter, her father Linda looks more healthy.

Maybe because her father Linda felt sorry for, and also worried about, the future of her children and grandchildren.

Hearing the story about her son, Linda cried in silence. He felt very confused with Erli.

"Did she never look for Linda Ma?" linda asked, who asked her mother.

Linda's eyes are getting watery. He couldn't help himself, not to cry.

He, who had never been separated from Erli, was forced to stay away, because he was in the hospital.

"Already Lin. Later in the afternoon, we go home. You can meet Erli again yes," said Linda's mother, trying to calm her son's heart.

"Hiks hyks... Linda pityes Mom for Erli," Linda said, unable to hold back her own cries.

"Yes-yes. I know Lin. But, how else. It was also impossible to take Erli to the hospital. It must not be good for him either" said his mother again, because it remembered the message from his son-in-law.

Ferry police, once said that, children, especially toddlers, do not need to be invited to the hospital. Moreover, the child is in good health.

In the hospital, not everyone is healthy. Viruses and bacteria may soon hit the child.

Linda let out a long sigh, upon hearing the explanation from her mother. He also knew that if children were encouraged to stay at home.

In fact, many hospitals make rules if, children under the age of 10 years, are prohibited from visiting people who are sick.

"You rest. Later, if the infusion fluid is ready to run out, the mother will report to the care nurse. Let it go."

Linda nodded in agreement with her mother's words. Now, he was trying to fall asleep again, because the medicine he had to take this morning had also been taken.

"Mom. If Mas Fery comes, say yes, if Linda is going to come home to Mom," Linda said.

"Yes. I'll tell your husband later" replied Linda's mother, with a flat face.

Actually, Linda's mother has no sympathy anymore, to the Ferry police. He felt very sorry, for having asked Linda to accept the police.

'Just in case, I didn't ask Linda to marry Ferry police. Linda would definitely not experience anything like this.'

His mother Linda said inwardly, turning her head in the other direction.

She wouldn't want to if, Linda knew that, she was holding back her tears. Despite the corner of his eyes, it already appeared that his tears were almost dripping.

*****

At home, her father Linda is looking after her grandson, Erli.

"Well, Erli. In the care of Mbah kung continue huh?" greet the neighbors who pass in front of the house.

"Yes this is Budhe. His mother was sick" replied his father Linda, who called her neighbor Budhe.

This Budhe, meant to be a name for Erli, was on that person.

"Still in the hospital? What pain does Kang the Linda have? I can't see people" asked the person, who knew Linda was in treatment.

But, for the neighbors in his father's house, his mother Linda made a story if, Linda is sick that can not be found by others.

Fearfully contracted.

Because of that, his neighbors no one came to visit, as long as Linda was hospitalized.

They all certainly feel afraid if, they will be infected, with the disease suffered by Linda at this time.

"Not knowing either. But, maybe tomorrow or today he will come home" his father Linda replied, telling him.

"Well, is it really healing? Maybe they will spread the disease in this village. What if it happens?"

The neighbor, even felt afraid if he would contract the same disease as Linda suffered today.
