Branching Love

Hot Soup

"Ish Father. Surprised me" lamented Risda. "You wash your face first" lifted the blanket and stood up.

Phomes. Risda fell down. Risda's left leg seemed numb, could not be moved at all even the color of Risda's legs had turned blue because the blood flow was stopped due to the jellies and clothes Star who was still tied to Risda's legs.

Zay immediately put the rice bowl in the special storage area provided there and immediately lifted Risda and sat Risda in the patient's gurney. "Sir" called Risda "Am I paralyzed" teary eyes.

Zay did not answer because he did not know what to answer. "Jawab sir" urged Risda. Risda saw Zay's eyes looking for answers from there and Risda saw Zay's eyes that were confused to answer his question and Risda immediately sentenced him to be paralyzed and "tiiiiiidakkkkkkkkkk" Risda shouted as loudly as possible.

The star who had just fallen asleep, hearing Risda's screams immediately opened wide again his eyes were shocked by Risda's unmitigated voice when he shouted earlier. "Why?" ask the Star who was sitting on the gurney of Risda patient while hugging Risda.

Zay glared at the surprised eyes of the action of the Star who hugged Risda directly in front of him but strangely Zay was even fixated not knowing what to do.

"I lumpuuhhh. HUaaaa" crying hysterically herself.

"Cannot be. Don't be afraid I'll always be next to you Risda" still hugging Risda who was crying hysterically.

Moments later after Risda was calmed by Bintang, Zay immediately took off their arms and stared intently at Bintang while saying to Bintang "get permission from where you hug my son".

A star can only rub the nape of its neck not knowing what to answer other than the word "sorry".

Meanwhile, Adi and Nur have returned home since Bintang and Risda were transferred to the hospital room. When Adi and Nur got home, they both saw Irsyad sitting crying at the door.

Irsyad saw the arrival of his mother with Adi staring annoyed at Adi who punished himself mercilessly yesterday while wiping tears and turning his face stepped away into the house again. Adi also did not want to lose staring at Irsyad flat while Nur could only take a deep breath and also entered the house also followed by Adi behind him.

"Assalamualaikum" said Nur in the house.

"Walaikumsalam" answered Irsyad while swaying spoiled at Nur. "Where did mom go?. You are also not at home, my beautiful brother who has a flat face as the wall also does not know where to disappear. I'm afraid ma, alone at home. Don't leave me ma" eyes condensed ready to cry again.

"August accident".

"What accident, that's the guy behind us, who's pretentious to it" glanced back at Adi who was tailing behind following Nur.

"Star".

"oo. Brother wall. So brother also has RS ya ma".

"Yes. Why not school?. Shower already?".

"Emmm. Ma took a bath first" released Nur's arm while running into her own room.

"Basar bocil" shook his head in wonder, boys behave spoiled like girls while girls behave like boys.

"Adi" called Nur while looking at the invulnerability where Adi was still walking after him and Nur saw Adi who was frowning like someone was thinking hard. "What are you thinking. Please help me cook, will you?. Mama's gonna take a shower for a second".

"Ready, mama" nodded and turned towards the kitchen.

Adi deftly mix whatever spices it needs. Almost an hour passed now the menu cuisine cooked Adi is ready along with the arrival of Nur and Irsyad.

"Waw chicken porridge complete special" cried Irsyad saw the menu that had Adi prepared in the bushel but Adi had not closed it because it was still hot so Adi let it open first for a while until the porridge is not hot anymore.

"Eps, the porridge is not for you" clapped Irsyad's hand which almost scooped the porridge.

"Maaaa, brother peliiiiit" cried Irsyad.

"Don't scream deck, mama's still here."

"Waws. It's better" take the soup out of Adi's hand.

"Hot. Heart-haaa" Adi has not finished her words but Irsyad has already shouted "paaaanaaaaassssss".

"Udah remembered carefully. Ouch" breathed a long breath.

"Wash your hands there" told Nur to Irsyad because the hot soup had slightly hit Irsyad's hand.

Irsyad stepped away towards the sink, washed his hands and returned to the dining table to eat Adi's cooking. Only then did Irsyad want to feed a spoonful of gravy in his mouth but Nur the mama instead said "add more rice" while putting rice in a bowl of soup. Irsyad saw the face of Nur resigned while Adi who had since noticed Irsyad boasted a smile holding back laughter.

Breakfast is still carried out even though a little late from the usual day and plus less complete family members. Good cuisine does not feel too good because there is a heart space that feels empty because family members are incomplete.

Not long after, breakfast was over. Nur has been ready since then to go to the hospital again. But Nur had to wait for Adi to be ready to shower first, while waiting for Adi to be ready, Nur cleaned the rest of the dishes, glasses and other dirty cookware. While Irsyad sat pretty watching his mother want to come to the hospital, did not dare to sit alone at home.

Ting Tong's. Ting Tong's. The beacon of the house bell sign that there are guests who are visiting.

"Adek please see, who came" Nur shouted still with his cleaning activities in the kitchen.

"Ready, commander's mother". Irsyad set foot on the main door of the house to welcome guests who come. Irsyad opened the door and saw a handsome young man coming to meet with a friendly smile carrying a flower arrangement in his hand and asked "is this Risda Zay Akli's house".

"Yes. Why."

"May I meet Risda".

"Sister wasn't home. Brother in the RS".

Rajif was silent fixated on the door not knowing what to say, with the sound of Irsyad's cry finally Rajif realized "it's a flower for brother" pointed at the flower with the chin.

"Yes" nods rajif once.

"Sister doesn't like flowers. Brother prefers samsak boxing" Irsyad said without being asked.

"Daddy, if you can tell, who's sick?" ask Rajif.

"Abang and brother".

With a little confusion Rajif again asked "the sick brother or sister?"

"Both".

"They were treated at the hospital where".

"Don't know" Irsyad replied. Soon after, Adi and Nur approached Irsyad and Rajif. "Who's looking?" ask Adi directly the to point.

"Risda" greeted Nur and Adi.

"Who is Risda" asked Nur.

"Risda's future husband, ma'am".

"Preeet" Irsyad replied without being asked.

SERIATE...
