Boyfriend Or Friend

Chapter 73

“Ma, stay with me. I can compress myself,”

“No, Mama wants to be here. Where might Mama biarin you take care of yourself who is sick like gini,” said Reta.

“You can sleep so Mama can ya,”

Zeline nodded her head. He closed his eyes to sleep. Indeed that's what he wanted since then actually but because his head hurts so hard to sleep.

An hour later, Zeline fell asleep. Reta smiled seeing that Zeline's eyes had been tightly closed and the roar of her anapa was also regular sign that her son was actually sleeping soundly.

“Healthy yes, son,” muttered Reta while pecking his son's pointed nose. A moment later, Reta heard a cell phone ringing from inside her son's bag. He immediately took Zeline's phone and there was a call coming from his girlfriend. When I got the call, it was unfortunately over. Finally Reta put her son's phone on the nightstand. Not long after he sat down and put down the phone, Vindra again contacted Zeline.

Reta immediately received a Vindra call which she guessed wanted to ask about Zeline's situation.

“Halo Assalamualaikum, Vindra,”

“Waalaikumsalam, Aunt. Zeline's sleeping? Sorry I disturbed you. I just want to know how Zeline is, Auntie,”

“Zeline again sleeping, this again Aunt compress, Vin,”

“Udah take medicine yes, Aunt?”

“Udah, Vin,”

“I have medicine in the car earlier, fever medicine is as dizzy I told Zeline to drink immediately after I knew Zeline was sick but Zeline said she wanted to take medicine at home aja,”

“Iya indeed he has a drug that is usually potent in him. Maybe he meant to drink it. Other brands like the old heal. Medicine if in Zeline is a match-match,”

“Iya, Aunt. Hope Zeline gets well soon,”

“Aamiin, thanks for the prayer yes, Vin,”

“I hung up, Aunty. Assalamualaikum,”

“Waalaikumsalam,”

The phone connection ended and Reta immediately put her son's phone on the nightstand. He again observed Zeline while changing the compress and occasionally he would change the water.

“Where? Zeline is okay ‘kan? You are calm, that's why,”

After buying cartons and other tools, Anin invites Vindra to eat ramen that He likes.

Along with Anin, Vindra could not calm down thinking about Zeline while occasionally looking at her own phone. Anin also realizes that Vindra is not calm.

“She has taken medicine, is sleeping her mother said,”

“Oh that's good deh,”

“I think I'll go to his house tonight,”

“Ngapain?”

“Yes look at him, Nin. I usually like that,”

“Oh so, can I come?”

“No need, I'm alone. You don't have to come,”

“Emang why the hell? How can I not come?”

“Oh that's it already, I look at tomorrow aja,”

“Ngak nguk also nothing important prayer only. In part if metatengin his friend a lot also Zeline can not rest,”

“You banned me for taking Zeline?”

“Ya that's not it, it's up to you if you want to look. But tonight I'm just fine,”

Anin nodded. Vindra just wanted to come alone because he knew Zeline was sulking because he told her to take medicine in the car earlier. Zeline's mood has not improved. So it's better he comes alone, and he needs time to have a one-on-one talk with Zeline.

I'll come to your house later

Zeline rotated her eyeballs while reading the message sent by her lover. Instead of replying, Zeline decided to quit the whatsapp app.

Then Zeline closed her eyes while massaging her two temples with her two hands. Dizziness is still there, but the fever is starting to drop. Her mother had just come out of the room, since she came home from school in her room continues to diligently compress her.

This time he was out of his room to prepare dinner with his aunt. I will also bring food for him.

Zeline rushed to the bathroom because she wanted to pee. Because He went to the bathroom, so He knew that He had just arrived a monthly guest to coincide with He urinated. Her stomach has been painful since this afternoon. But luckily it does not interfere because the pain will be complete. Already fever, headache, toothache, abdominal pain due to menstruation as well. Don't get it, Zeline just imagined it was already sore.

As soon as He came out of the bathroom, his father knocked on the door of his room and after He let him in, the father opened the door of the child's room.

“Nak, pray,”

“Newly hitch, Pa,”

“Oh so yes already eat later yes if Mama has already delivered food,”

“Iya, Pa,”

“What do you need now? Mama again in abwah let Papa help,”

Richie approached Zeline and rubbed the top of Zeline's head. He uses the back of his hand, to feel whether his child's body temperature is still high or even getting down.

“Eh has dropped yes,”

“Iya is over, Pa. Before Mama got off Mama check first,”

“Alhamdulillah if so. Yes have a lot of rest yes,” said Richie while peeping his son's forehead.

“Don't hurt dong, ah no exclamation nih you,”

“I don't want to be sick either, Pa. All of a sudden this pain was not invited,”

“His stomach hurts too lest it come months?”

“So afternoon a little bit of pain but not now, if the pain is also, jeez complete deh aching me, Pa. My head is still heavy like this, teeth are still quite painful, fever that has been very light,”

“Yes have been patient, God willing soon healed,”

“Aamiin,”

“Emang she cares?”

“Eh, how are you talking? Studdy huh?“
