The awaited day arrived, the school grounds boisterous with impatient students who want to immediately leave for the destination of tourist works. Everyone was so excited about the annual event. Bian, Febi and Yoga frown at seeing the presence of Emi who never arrived while they will leave in thirty minutes.
"Are you sure Emi's on the road?" ask Febi to Bian who doesn't stop calling Emi's phone.
"Yes, but I don't know why the phone is suddenly off."
The chairman of the committee through a loudspeaker instructed all participants to take the bus that had been provided and sit according to the sequence number that has been given.
"Bian, how is it? Emi hasn't come yet."
"I'm confused too, Feb. Mending you go in there, Emi's just gotta be nyampe."
"Bian, you are called the chairman of the committee" said Yoga.
"Yes, you go in there."
As one of the organizers, Bian is also a little busy because he is one of the three sections of the event during the activity. While hearing the direction of the chairman of the committee, Bian's eyes also occasionally looked at every student who had just arrived and went straight into the bus.
How long, Mi?
"Bian, did you hear what you just said?" the committee chairman.
"Listen, sir."
"Yes, now help your friends there. Just a tourist work but the inn has been like wanting to heal to the mountain for a week," said the committee chairman to Bian and two friends.
"Good, sir."
..........
In her room Emi was locking herself while continuing to sob. In his heart he cursed Bima all out.
"Sir Bima, I'm sorry to hear Emi is still crying from earlier. You can, sir."
Mother Sri who had never seen and heard Emi cry all this time was so compassionate and unbearable to Emi who had not stopped crying in her room.
"If you're tired, you'll stop."
"But sir-"
"Mother Sri better get back to work!" bima said full of emphasis.
For the first time Sri's mother felt that Bima was very cruel. If you do not remember if Bima is his master, it is very desirable for Sri's mother to nag him and even hit him with a broom.
Usually Bima is already in the office at this time but not for today. Bima had been dressed in office since two hours ago but now the clothes were messy because of her quarrel with Emi.
The longer Emi's cry was not heard anymore, it made Bima feel relieved as well as worried.
Earlier...
Early morning Emi suddenly had a high fever in her room. Using her mobile phone, Emi contacted Sri's mother who was sleeping. Emi is not strong enough to get out of bed let alone step.
Luckily Sri's mother immediately heard the call on her phone and ran to Emi's room when there was no reply from Emi when Sri's mother answered the call.
The door of the room that is only closed without being locked makes Sri's mother easily enter the room Emi. How surprised the woman when she found Emi curled up with a pale face because previously Emi was fine.
"Emi why? How can a fever be like this?" shocked Sri's mother.
There was no response from Emi, she was lazy and had no strength to speak.
"Wait a minute."
Ibu Sri went straight to the second floor and knocked on the door of Bima's room. He must inform Emi of the current state.
"Pak Bima, this is Sri's mother" he called as he knocked on the door.
It took several calls until Bima finally opened the door of her room. The distinctive tangled face of sleeping people is clearly painted on the face of Bima who is holding back her sleepiness.
"Gosh, God!"
Mother Sri was shocked to see Bima who only wore knee-length shorts while the upper part of her body was plain without cloth.
"It's midnight, what's up?"
"Sorry, sir. That, Emi fever, sir."
Bima went down and headed for Emi's room followed by Sri's mother behind her.
From the direction of the door Bima saw Emi curled up in a blanket. Without asking Bima opened the blanket and climbed on top of Emi's bed. Bima placed her palms on Emi's forehead, cheeks and neck, she frantically felt Emi's body temperature so high.
"Warm water," said Bima.
Sri's mother ran into the kitchen and soon returned to Emi's room with a glass of warm water.
Bima helps Emi to sit up and hold her limp body from falling down. Bima could feel Emi's body temperature as the girl's face stuck to her chest that was not wearing clothes.
Panicked, Bima hugged Emi worriedly. This is also the first time Bima saw Emi sick. Never heard Emi was sick during her stay with Mila's mother.
"Please get my clothes and wallet, ma'am."
After saying so, Bima lifted Emi up and carried her out of the room. Bima had a little difficulty when reaching for the car key from the top of the nightstand.
"Mother's at home."
"Yes, sir. Here's the shirt and the wallet, sir."
Before long Bima drove his car to the nearest clinic. Along the way Bima clasped Emi's hand with worry.
Ten minutes it took Bima to arrive at the nearest clinic. After parking the car, Bima carried Emi into the clinic for a check-up. The medical personnel who were on guard led Bima directly to a room, where Bima placed Emi on a small bed.
"What's the big brother, sir?" ask the young man in the medical uniform.
"He suddenly had a fever and he was not my sister" Bima replied.
"Niece?"
"Not really."
The medics glanced at Bima and Emi alternately. Although curious but the man chose to do his profession well. Immediately Emi checked with Bima unmoved from beside the girl.
"He's exhausted and lacking rest, the physicality that looks strong on the outside is not necessarily the real thing. Could be a high fever maybe he's raining."
"But he has nothing to rain," Bima said.
"Maybe he's been swimming or playing in the water for too long."
Bima briefly remembered when he came home from the office and found Emi playing with water where his entire body was soaked.
"The weather is not good right now either. I'm sure he's rarely sick but when it's going to be like this, it's sudden and high."
In his heart Bima confirmed what the medics said. He noticed when Emi would be put on the infusion.
"Sorry-" said Bima Hanging want to call the officer with what designation.
"Randy. I'm Randy's doctor" the man told me his name.
"Does he have to be infused?" ask Bima.
"Yes, his condition is very weak and he has to rest. I'll give you fever-lowering drugs and vitamins. Later after the infusion runs out, you can take it home. Or if you still want, later you can add one more bottle of infusion," explained Dr. Randy.
"No," said Emi.
Emi pulls her hand when she sees Randy's doctor holding an infusion needle.
Doctor Randy chuckles at Emi's fearful response to the infusion needle she's holding.
"Hey... It's not as painful as you imagine."
Doctor Randy grabbed Emi's hand and grasped it, it made Bima frown dislike.
"Aren't I pretty good-looking, hem?" seductress Randy tries to distract Emi from the infusion needle. "Hey... My face is here" said Randy, pointing to his own face with a smile.
"Do you have a boyfriend? Um... If I can guess it doesn't seem like it yet but I'm sure someone's into you."
While talking Randy slowly directs the infusion needle until Emi slightly jerks when the needle is successfully entered and deftly Randy holds Emi's hand until the infusion is well attached.
"Goody! Smart girl," praise Randy wink at Emi. "Rest, if there's a need I'm ahead."
Randy tidied up his medical devices and left Emi with Bima.
Just a few minutes later Randy was back.
"Medicine."
Randy put two pills in Emi's mouth and handed her a glass of warm water.
"Not only is it sweet, you're not fussy about taking medicine either. I like girls like you. Sleep now."
"Thank you" Emi said with a smile.
Randy finally really went so that Emi could rest at least until the infusion fluid that was attached ran out.
Bima pulled a chair near Emi's bed. Bima felt his existence since then like invisible.
"He is just doing his job so don't put what he says into your heart. He did it to all the patients, not just you. Sleep on."
"Am I going to be left alone here?"
"I'm here, I'm not going anywhere" Bima said reassuringly.
"Where possible, Bima om must have gone when I was asleep."
"Shut up and sleep."
Bima grabbed and grasped Emi's hand that was not infused. Emi feels the attention of Bima this time is so different especially now her head is being rubbed by Bima.
"Wait a minute, close your eyes and sleep."
Emi nodded and according to what Bima said.
