Deepest Wound

CHAT GROUP

...Happy reading...

I stopped first to the house of Kak Laras to give a martabak box that I bought just then I went home.

Since the trip, I actually felt something was wrong with my vision. My view looks blurry and unclear. I think it might be the effects of sleepiness and soy alone. But until morning it continued and I could barely see the buttons on my phone screen.

I'm really freaked out. My mind is getting messy imagining I'm going blind. I stared at the screen of my phone which sometimes looks clear and a moment later looks blurry. I tried to contact Kak Laras and luckily it worked.

“What's up!?” Sis Laras panicked when she came to my house.

“Kak! Something's wrong with my eyes. I'm hard to see!” My panic.

“How difficult?” Brother Laras looked into my eyes.

“A...I I am less clear when looking, my vision is blurry!”

“Yet your eyes why? Did something come in, animal or what?”

“Ngak, Sis. This is from last night. Kirain the influence of soy sauce aja, but until the morning is still like this.”

“Ya already, we go to the ophthalmologist only now.“ Take Brother Laras. “You can still get ready yourself, right?” I also nodded.

Kak Laras went home to get ready and say goodbye to Kak Agil who was about to leave for the office. While Rifqy joined Kak Agil all in between to school.

We were in a taxi car to the Ophthalmologist clinic. It just happened to be a bit quiet so we didn't wait too long.

I was surprised to see the eye doctor. I don't know why to see the white-clothed man standing in front of me that reminds me of Brother Ardi. Without feeling my body tremble a little. Fear spread throughout my body.

“Anita, come on,” Brother Laras pulled my arm making me jerk in surprise.

“E i yes,” sahutku stammered. “Company,” I whispered while holding on to Kak Laras' arm.

“Iya, already know,” said Kak Laras while holding my arm and bringing me in.

The doctor examined me and as long as the Doctor was near me my body trembled exactly the same time when I was terrified in front of Kak Ardi at that time.

After finishing the check I again sat in the patient seat still accompanied by Kak Laras who sat in the chair next to me.

The doctor asked me a few questions about the drugs I've been taking lately and how often I play gadgets. I replied and explained that the last few months I did take some kind of medicine for my recovery and that was also on the prescription of the Doctor. If for the gadget I think it can not be counted how often, because today who is not dependent on it.

Since the last year exactly when I no longer work in the company I can only be busy with that thing. And I often felt my eyes ache when I played it but I ignored all of that without thinking about the impact.

On the advice of the Doctor I should not play gadgets too often and also have to wear special glasses for several months. And one more thing, I haven't been able to linger in the sun. That means for the next few months I have a holiday first to the plantation.

For health's sake I don't want to follow that advice. I sat down when I got home. Just now I'm getting excited to get back to work now I have to take another day off for a few months.

My phone rang even to clink a few times. I checked it to see the incoming message. I frowned for a moment after then I smiled to see the group chat that Santi made. Five people joined, including myself.

I put my phone back down and reassembled the harvest report this month and sent it to Erik as soon as possible. I've been working from home for a month while I've been helped by Om Wandy to monitor the state of the plantation. I'm also used to Om Wandy's glasses and teasers that call me Teacher lately.

After the night before going to bed I went back to see the group chat created by Santi. I was surprised to see the members who were originally 5 people, now increased to 22 people. Just a few I know, the rest I don't know or maybe I forgot. Chat was running, I only occasionally pay attention because I have not been able to look at the phone screen for a long time.

Not long ago there was a new group created by Santi and it seems like the members are almost the same. I also contacted him directly.

“Iya, An?” Santi and it seemed like he was chewing sounded from his voice.

“You made two groups of people that-that's it?”

“Iya, but the one that just made ciwi-ciwi aka mother-emak. Haha..., let us be more open talking,” explained Santi by still chewing.

“This request dedek inside the stomach.”

“25% may have a point, the rest of it must be of your own volition. Very kasian tuh the baby in slander as his mother.” Just heard the sound of Santi's laughter. Then I turned off my phone.

The next month my eye health was much better. Now I am also helped with herbal medicines so that I am not too dependent on chemical drugs that have side effects.

Like it has become a necessity every waking up I immediately check my phone. I say hello for a moment just appreciate Santi as a group maker.

Some workers don't have accounts yet and I have to intervene to help them. Actually this is outside of my work, but I can't bear to ignore this given the workers lack of knowledge. So today I will help and guide them to get out of the faith.

After I was done with all my business, I went home and decided to rest. Because my head already feels a little heavy in addition to the weather that was quite hot that day.

I saw the door was open, and surely Kak Laras was at home I thought.

“Assalamu'alaikum,” my word from outside.

“Wa'alaikumsalaam.

I was shocked almost in disbelief and seemed to dream of seeing the person sitting in the living room at that time.

There's Mama and Aunt Niar's sister. Even though I hadn't seen her for a long time, I could still recognize her face.

Laras looked at me with a difficult look. While I immediately approached Mama and Aunt Niar to experience it.

I realized that I was abandoned without anyone to take care of me other than Father and Mother. But my position as a child requires me to remain respectful and obedient to the parents who gave birth to me.

“Mama when is it coming? Where have you been, why haven't you been home for so long?” I asked without pause because I felt natural, because for years Mama had no news.

“Mama has almost two hours waiting for you. Now Mama wants to rush home. Oiya, Mama wants to ask for money from the plantation. Where?”

I was stunned to hear Mama's words. For years he had disappeared, and now came only to ask for plantation produce.

“Mbak realized no. The Mbak has no right to ask Anita anything even though Mbak is her mother.” Kak Laras said it started to fire.

“This is the business of Mbak with Anita, you have no right to interfere! You are only a cousin, while Mbak is the one who gave birth to him!”

“It's true Mbak gave birth, but where have you been all this time? I also don't know what Anita has been through all this time. No child would ask to be born into this world if not for the actions of his parents! I'm just a cousin, but Anita knows what I did more than the man who gave birth to her. Not meant to bring up, because I'm sincerely doing it. And I'm not willing to do something like this to Anita.”

I still can't say anything because I still can't believe what I hear and see. Soon my mind began to open I went to my room.

I took the cash that happened to still be in my closet and went back to see Mama and gave her the money.

“Yes so it should be, do not be disobedient with parents. Lagian Oma kanu bestowed the plantation because you are the son of Mama, if born from the womb of others where you may get it.” As they move on and leave the living room after putting the money to give into the bag.
