CONFINEMENT

CH 55 - RETURN TO COASTAL LAND PART III

Before long Muhibbin and his family arrived at an open building that read 'Balai Banjar Gelumpang', They also rested in the building.

It is seen that Muhibbin held a sacrificial cloth that is always wrapped around his neck and let the mother lie on it, and let her lie on it,

"Bak Yu, your mother's body is so hot!" exclaimed the young man to the Light of the brother. Suratmi, who was still lying on a tile with Muhibbin's turban, began to cough again.

The light brought the back of her palm close to the forehead of her mother Suratmi.

"True Bin, mom's body is very hot,"

"How's this, Le?" the woman asked, looking anxiety on Light's face.

"About where you are, Bin?" ask the woman back.

"Far away, Ma'am yu."

"If the journey is normal, we are still half a day away to Manguntur, Ms. Yu."

The face of Light increasingly anxious to look towards Muhibbin, while the Holy Kingdom was seen to massage the feet of the grandmother who was lying on her luggage bag.

"Sir Lik, Mbah uti looks cold and his body shivers, Mr. Lik!" exclaim Raya to her uncle who was discussing with his aunt.

"Where is this, Bin?" the Light returned.

"Mbak Yu and you Raya, wait here first! I'll find a healer or an Alchemist nearby." said the young man.

Light and Raya just nodded her head to hear the words of Muhibbin while enveloping the body of the old Suratmi with a rag she took from the bag.

"Don't be long, Bin! kasian mama." concluded Light.

"Yes Mbak yu, please also give herbs made mbah kyai to mother, hopefully can reduce mother's fatigue!" muhibbin said to his brother.

The young man rushed to leave the three looking for help, along the way, Muhibbin always asked the people he met.

While the Light and Kingdom are still waiting at Banjar Gelumpang Hall, "Raya, you wait here for a while huh, Nduk! Bu Lik wants to take water to compress the Mbah uti." exclaimed Light at the Holy Kingdom.

Light rushed to the side of Banjar Hall building not far from the place. The water that is in the barrel next to the well uses a rice bushel that has been cleaned.

The woman immediately returned to Suratmi and Raya with the water she brought.

"Where is Nduk, Mbah uti what is still shivering?" ask the light of his nephew.

"Still Ms. Lik, only her body is still hot" replied the little girl.

"Yes, you lie down first while waiting for your Pak Lik to come, let Bu Lik compress Mbah uti first." concluded Cahaya told her nephew to lie next to her mother Suratmi.

He took the handkerchief behind the bag and then the cloth was dipped in the water he was carrying earlier.

No matter how long, Muhibbin came with an old man with a bundle of cloth on his shoulders.

"Where is Ma'am Yu, what is the state of mother still no change? muhibbin asked his brother.

" It's getting hot, Bin." replied Light as he lifted the handkerchief on Suratmi's forehead and wet it back with water.

"Master Balian! this is my mother, brother and nephew." Muhibbin told the old man who came with him.

The old man nodded his head at the Light and he turned his head back to Muhibbin.

"Let me first check on your mother, Good boy!" said the old man.

No matter how long the old man began to check on Suratmi, he took his equipment in a bundle of cloth he carried.

"Your mother's fever and fatigue, Nak Mas!"

"I think you should stay a while here until your mother's condition recovers" the old Balian told Muhibbin and Light.

"I'm fine, Le!" suddenly Suratmi opened her eyes, her voice softened and occasionally coughed.

"I want to see my son-in-law soon! returned say.

The look in the old woman's eyes held back fatigue. Muhibbin and Light could only look at each other to see the state of his mother.

"You'd better come to my house first, until your mother's condition improves!" said the old Balian.

"Open air like here is not good for the condition of your mother" concluded the old man while staring at Muhibbin.

"You don't have to worry, Son Mas!"

"It's only natural that we help each other, let alone that your mother's condition is very weak and Banjar Manguntur is still a long way from here."

"After your mother's condition improves, you can continue the journey back." said the old Balian.

"Where, Le? tanya Light asked her sister's opinion.

"I don't think we have any other choice with my mother's current condition, Ms Yu."

"And there's no harm in us accepting Mr. Balian's offer." concluded the young man.

"My house is not far from here, let's follow me." said the old Balian as he rose from his seat after giving treatment to Suratmi.

"Come Raya, help Miss Lik! let your Pak Lik carry Mbah uti." exclaimed the Light on the Kingdom beside him. The little girl tidied up the pedestal her grandmother was wearing lying down.

They followed the steps of old Balian down the streets of Banjar Gelumpang which was seen starting to be crowded in the morning.

***

While at Villa Sandat that morning,

"Hoooo!"

"Hoooo!"

The sound of people vomiting sounded from inside the bathroom, mek Iluh who was cooking in the kitchen not far from the place with a feeling of anxiety approached the bathroom door and began to knock it.

"Mistress!"

"Ni Mas, is it okay?" asked the middle-aged woman while continuing to knock on the bathroom door. Occasionally I heard water gurgling from inside.

"I'm fine, Mek!" answer someone from the bathroom. The sound of water rustling back against the bathroom tiles, no matter how long the door was open and a girl came out from inside.

"Is Ni Mas sick?"

"Is Ni Mas really okay?" ask mek Iluh to the girl who is none other than Sariwati. Her ayu oval face looked deathly pale and her body felt helpless.

"I'm okay, Mek! sariwati.

"Please make me some warm tea and take me to my room, Mek!" pinta Sariwati on her maid. The girl stepped away leaving Iluh's mek which was still full of question marks.

Sariwati laid her body on the mattress, occasionally her fingers sewn at her temple. His eyes were forced closed to reduce the dizziness and nausea in nature.

Mek Iluh walked into Sariwati's room with a glass of warm fresh tea in her hand.

"It's better to drink the tea first, Ni Mas!"

"After that, Ni Mas just rest," Iluh told Sariwati.

"If Ni Mas needs anything, just call me!" exclaim mek Iluh back to his master.

"Thank you, Mek!"

"Later if I need something, Iluh mek I call again" concluded Sariwati.

The middle-aged woman nodded then resigned herself and left her master alone in the room.

Sariwati's mind was raging with what she was in nature at the moment. Feelings of nausea and want to vomit again experienced, immediately in the insertion of warm tea made by the servant earlier.

As an Alchemy he can guess and know what symptoms in nature this.

It has been almost a month since the incident that night with Muhibbin, his monthly guests have not come. Worry tousled his mind even though on the other hand there was a feeling of happiness that he felt.

"Is my guess wrong?"

"Am I pregnant?"

"Ibbbins! when are you coming, Bin? He murmured in his heart.
