Complex Child Love

CHAPTER 13 - Sudden Fever

Time has shown at four in the morning. Last night, Cefi and Baron came home raining. Baron happened to not bring a raincoat and he also did not wear a jacket for him to give to Cefi because last night he went straight away when both of Cefi's parents came to his house and said if Cefi hasn't come home yet.

It felt so cold that it pierced into the bone. Cefi continued to be under the covers covering his body from foot to head. Although already wearing a blanket but Cefi still felt cold.

"Darling, wake up. Take a bath first abis salat, breakfast, and then we leave." Said Mother Larasasti who was well dressed after dawn prayers.

Cefi did not want to wake up, nor did he want to speak. Cefi was crying under the blanket because it hurt so bad.

"Son?" Larasati's mother immediately tried to open her child's blanket when she heard a sob from inside the blanket.

Cefi's tears are already dripping. Cefi's mother checked her son's body temperature by holding Cefi's forehead, "Astaghfirullah, son. You feverish? Papaaa! Paaah!" Ibu Larasati.

Ibu Larasati was forced to scream in panic.

"What's up, Ma?" Ask Mr. Wijaja who went straight to Cefi's room.

"Xaviera's sick, Pa... We have to get him to the hospital." Said Ibu Larasati.

"Astaghfirullah al-adzim!" Without thinking for a long time, Mr. Wijaja immediately lifted his son's body. Larasati's panicked mother immediately followed her husband.

"Mama will open the fence."

Ibu Larasati also opened the gate. While Cefi's father sat Cefi in the middle bench. Lucky Ibu Larasati and Pak Wijaja were well dressed so there was no need to prepare first.

After the gate opened, Cefi's father took out his car and stopped the car in front of the fence of the house Cefi, he just had to wait for Ibu Larasati who was locking the fence of his house.

Anes' mother who happened to want to see Ibu Larasati also saw Ibu Larasati who panicked and immediately walked quickly to him. "What's up, Ma'am?" Ask Anes' mother.

"Xaviera is hot, Ma'am. We have to go to the hospital." Said Ms. Larasati with teary eyes because she was worried about her child.

"Hospital far away, ma'am, pity if left shivering in the street. Better to take her to my house. I saw his condition first. If I can handle it, I'll handle it first." Said Anes' Mother. "Baron also has a fever, it looks like they had a fever from last night's rain." Sahut Ibu Anes's.

Anes' mother was a former doctor. Ibu Larasati almost forgot about it so much she panicked.

Larasati's mother nodded in agreement, then told her husband. Shortly after, Mr. Wijaja brought Cefi to the house of Mother Anes. This time he laid Cefi in the guest room on the lower floor according to the direction of Mother Anes. Although only a guest room but the room is very clean.

After Cefi was laid, Mother Anes also checked the state of Cefi and it is true that Cefi indeed seemed to be just an ordinary fever just like Baron. Then, Mother Anes immediately gave the same medicine as the money he gave to his son to Cefi. Then ask Cefi to drink it and rest. Cefi also according.

"You don't have to panic, Mom. God willing, if you have rest and take Xaviera medicine will improve." Said Anes' Mother.

"Amen. Thank you, Miss Anes. Sorry to bother." Said Ibu Larasati.

"Yes, Mother. You're welcome." Sahut Ibu Anes's.

Anes' mother made drinks for Bu Larasati and Pak Wijaja then returned to the living room carrying warm tea and pastries.

Anes and Ibu Larasati's mother also listened to Pak Pradana and Pak Wijaja who were talking.

"I'm really confused, Mas. On one side my son is sick. On the other hand I have to go to Singapore." Said Mr. Wijaja.

"I understand Mas Wijaja's position. And all the decisions are in the hands of Mas Wijaja. If my advice, if you can postpone the departure first. But if it is very urgent let Xaviera in my house first. It will come when it is healed." Said Pak Pradana.

"Yes, Mas, it seems better that my wife and I cancel the departure. There's nothing more important than our son." Said Mr. Wijaja.

Mr. Pradana nodded his head approving of what Mr. Wijaja said. If Pak Pradana became Pak Wijaja, he would do the same.

Shortly afterwards the Baron went downstairs to hear a noise and also wanted to drink. The mineral water in his room was gone and he couldn't possibly scream for a drink from his room on the second floor.

Baron's head was still dizzy and his body was still warm but not as bad as it was a few hours ago before his mother gave him the medicine. Baron and Cefi are different. The Baron was much stronger than Cefi.

"Son, how'd it go down?" Asked Anes' mother who hurriedly chased after his son.

"You drink, Ma." Answer Baron.

"Jaudah mom take it. You sit down first." Mother Anes said. The baron nodded his head just like that.

Baron's lips look pale, seeing there are two parents Cefi made Baron curious about what happened, "Om, Auntie? Not leaving?" The Baron asked Cephi's parents.

"No, Son. This is Xaviera fever. You have a fever too, right? I'm sorry, because last night looking for Xaviera you got sick too." Said Mr. Wijaja.

Mr. Wijaja nodded his head. He was very grateful to the Baron who helped find his daughter last night.

Time has shown at half six. Luckily both of Cefi's parents had already prayed at dawn before awakening Cefi.

Cefi's mother also paid to go to the guest room to meet her son. It turned out that in the room, Cefi was awake.

"Mama?" Call the weak cefi.

"Yes, honey? You slept again, right? Mama and Papa have decided to cancel our departure. We can't let you get sick alone." Said Ibu Larasati.

Cefi immediately shook his head, "Don't, Ma. Mom and Dad left first. Let me be here first. I'll start later if it's healed." Cefi.

However, Cefi feels guilty to both of his parents. Last night he made a lot of noise and disappointed both of his parents, so now he won't let his parents down again.

"Son, we're fine if we don't go. Papa will ask papa's secretary to cancel." Mr. Wijaja said.

Cefi shook his head just like that. "Negkapa. Papa and mama leave, right? I'll be here for a while. Aunt Anes, Auntie, would you mind if I repotin' Aunt here?" Ask Cefi to Anes's mother.

"Obviously dong, honey. You already consider Auntie as a child Aunty, so Auntie does not mind at all if you live in the house Aunty. Aunt is even a smirk." Answer Anes' mother.

Ibu Larasati and Pak Wijaja initially refused, but Cefi who was shrouded in guilt continued to convince both parents to go first to Singapore. Cefi will follow if healed. Because Cefi continued to muster eventually both parents Cefi also agreed to Cefi's request.

"Jude, then. But you have to take medicine and treat Om Pradana and Aunt Anes as long as there is no Papa and Mama, son?" Said Mr. Wijaja.

"Yes, Pa. I promise I'll meet Aunt Anes and Om Pradana. Already there, you want to be 6 later you can miss the plane." Cefi.

Cefi is eager to deliver both parents up front but should not be by both parents because of Cefi's condition is less likely.

"Mom, Papa. I'm sorry because last night I made mom and dad worried." Cefi lamented what happened.

Larasati's mother hugged her son, "Yes, honey. Mom and Dad have forgiven you. Forgive us, too, son, if we're wrong with you."

"Don't apologize, Ma. Mama is equally papa there's nothing wrong with me." Cefi shook his head.

"Son, as human beings we must have done something wrong." Said Ibu Larasati.

After saying goodbye to his mother, Cefi's father hugged his daughter, "Take care of yourself, son. The same goes for Om Pradana and Aunt Anes." he said the same thing as before.

"Yes, Pa. Papa and Mama be careful on the road." Cefi.

Mr. Wijaja rubbed his son's back and kissed the tubers of Cefi which was still hot.

"Mas Pradana, Ms. Anes, we have our son. Sorry we've been a hassle." Said Mr. Wijaja.

"Don't say that, Mas Wijaja. We don't feel bothered at all." Speak Pak Pradana. "Let me take you to the airport, Mas. If you ride an online vehicle at this time of day fear it can be long."

"MasyaAllah, you are so kind, thank you so much, Mas Pradana." Her father Cefi said.

"Yes alike. I'm getting the car ready." Said Pak Pradana.

"Our car happened to be in front because it did not take Cefi to the hospital, if you want, use our car, Mas" said Mr. Wijaja.

"Oh, okay, Mas." replied Mr. Pradana.

Mr. Wijaja looked at the Baron. His eyes hinted at many things to the Baron. However, Baron does not know what is in the mind of his father Cephi.

"Son Baron, we have Xaviera." Said Mr. Wijaja.

"Yes, Om. Be careful on the road yeah, Om and Auntie." Baron.

Then, after saying goodbye, both parents Cefi came out of the Baron House and entered the car Kijang Innova owned by the family Cefi while the suitcase had been in the back of the trunk since last night.

Cefi looked at the car his parents were riding in from the window. Why his heart seemed sad to see the passing of his parents. Cefi thinks that his sadness comes from him who must be willing to be left behind by his two families.

There is a feeling of unwillingness for both parents to leave. However, because he did not want to make both parents sad again so that Cefi also felt he had to give up the departure of both parents to Singapore.
