BAYU: Where the Wind Brings Misses

Breathing Leggily

Bayu and Darman arrive in front of the examination room.

"Raka how's Buk.?" Ask her mother who is sitting sad.

"Still inside, still checked Doctor Yu." Answer Mother.

Then Bayu sat down beside Mom, while Darman walked a little away just to get some fresh air.

Shortly thereafter, Father came.

"Raka how's Buk, then,? Raka why is it.?" Ask me a little panic.

But Bayu answered the Father, because Mother was still shaken and a little worried. "The doctor said Raka was suspected to have dengue fever sir, but this is still waiting for further examination."

Then he sat down beside Bayu.

"Father went to the cooperative but the office was closed, I forgot it was Saturday." He said with a blank look.

"How do we pay for Raka's medical expenses.?" Imbuh Father.

"Way there is money saving sir, maybe enough for the cost of treatment Raka. Don't worry too much about the cost." Bayu says.

"Yes sir, if I have less. What matters is Raka's recovery first." Darman added while standing next to the father.

Not how long.

The doctor came out of the examination room.

Bayu, Father, Mother spontaneously moved from her seat.

"My son how is Doc.?" Ask Mom.

"Lucky Mother took her child to the hospital early, until the disease dengue fever is not too severe, and the patient's condition has stabilized" said Doctor.

"But the patient must be hospitalized first, about two or three days, if the patient's condition continues to improve can return home or outpatient." added Doctor.

"Thank you Doctor." Mommy said while crying and breathing a sigh of relief.

"After this there will be a Sister who takes patients to the ward, you can go to the administration first and then take drugs for patients" said the Doctor.

"May his son be healed soon Buk, Father." Imbuh Doctor.

"Yes Doctor, thank you." Answer Father

The doctor just nodded with a smile then walked by.

Then Raka came out still on the street mattress with an infusion hanging beside her.

"Hugely..." Raka said with a soft word

"Yes, I'm here" replied Mom.

Then Mother, Raka and Sister headed for the hospital room.

"Then I go home first sir, I will try to come here again tonight."

Said Darman while kissing the hand of Mr. Bayu.

"Thank you, Darman." He said as he slipped the envelope into Darman's hand.

"Udah Pak did not need to, sorry can not accept it" said Darman in a pocket of money.

"So yes, Darman. I feel bad if you don't take it" Mr. forced Darman.

"Take ae wes Dar. Don't be rejected." Bayu says.

"Yes, I accept yes sir" said Darman.

"Mother wants to follow me first." Father said.

My father left them two.

"Yu, I'm the bad one if I get this from your father." Darman said to the baby.

"Wes gakpapa, consider that our thanks Dar," replied Bayu.

"Yawes I go home first yes, later tonight I come here nemenin you take care of Raka, Who knows the Father of your Mother will go home later" said Darman.

"Yes, ati ati on the road, thanks once again Dar.?" Bayu said to darman.

Then Darman left. While Bayu immediately to the place of administration and pharmacy.

In Bayu's heart he felt relieved his sister was helped, but it is undeniable in Bayu's mind to feel sadness as well. Because the savings that he should use to go to Surabaya to meet Laras is now used for Raka's treatment.

After Bayu finished taking the medicine, Bayu immediately went to the hospital room.

Spacious room with skat only from the curtains. In one room filled 8 patients including Raka.

Bayu entered the hall and sought the whereabouts of his family.

Lucky Mom didn't close the curtains so Bayu could find where Raka was being treated.

"Oh, this is Raka's medicine." Bayu said sambi put the medicine on a small table next to Raka's mattress.

"Still feeling your body ache Raka."? Bayu asked Raka.

"Udah is quite good mas." replied Raka while lying down.

"Yawes sleeps, let the spit be healed." Said Bayu while putting his palm onto Raka's forehead.

"Wood. Mother same Father went home first, want to take a change of clothes for Raka. You took care of your brother here first, huh.?" Mother said as she got up from her seat.

But you are waiting outside the room.

"Yes Buk." Answer Bayu briefly.

"Rest yes Le, I'm going home for a bit." Said Mother while rubbing Raka's forehead.

"Yes Buk." Answer Raka briefly.

"Assalamualaik." Mother gave her regards.

"Waalalukumsalam." The two handsome sons of Mother answered him.

Moments after Mom and Dad left.

"excuse me, this is food for Raka's patients." There was the voice of the Sister behind the curtains.

"Yes, Mother." Bayu answered him and immediately took a ration of food written Raka's name on it.

"thank you Ma'am" Bayu said.

"yes, come." replied the Sister as she passed to the patient next door.

then Bayu brought in the food.

"Eating Dek first, the abis took medicine" Bayu said.

Raka tried to get up from the fall. And leaning on a pillow supported by iron on the edge of his mattress.

Raka food is very simple, only rice that looks soft, clear vegetables spinach and carrots, boiled eggs and steamed tofu, along with sliced bananas.

"Eating by yourself, huh.?" Bayu opened and put the dish on Raka's lap.

Just one spoon of Raka ate it he was no longer willing to eat.

"Eat the Deck, let the spit heal." Say Bayu while preparing the medicine that will be taken by Raka.

"It's not good." Answer Raka.

"Yes because you are sick so not good, the original is also delicious" replied Bayu while tasting Raka food.

After Bayu tasting clear vegetables and eggs. Bayu's expression changed instantly.

"Why is it good, right.?" Ask Raka.

"Hemhemhemehmmm, yes there is no taste" Bayu replied with a slight smile.

"I told you so." Raka says.

"Is this really hospital food.?" Bayu in the heart.

Actually, the hospital cuisine does not use much salt or flavoring and is more dependent on the natural taste of the food. The nutritional value is calculated according to the needs of the patient.

But it is only this time Bayu stayed at the hospital and enjoyed the patient's dishes.

"Yawes at this meal first, tomorrow if it's cured Mas buyin roasted chicken." Bayu said to Raka, and promised her that she would eat and take medicine.

"Yes, yes, Mama.?" Ask Raka.

"Yes suwer." Answer Bayu.

in the midst of his longing for Laras, Bayu realizes that there is a family that calms his mind.how relieved Bayu when knowing Raka is fine, and sees that Mother does not grieve anymore.mayu, maybe for Bayu, how good it is, this is the process of self-maturation.
