Erika continued to wriggle and shiver in the cold in her thick blanket. His body temperature was extremely hot, even cold sweat started to pour out soaking his face and body.
Bu Upeh has since continued to compress Erika's head, but the heat has not come down as well. And that made Bu Upeh quite worried. The girl Ervan brought looked so weak, but Bu Upeh also did not dare to wake Ervan and Ciko who had entered their respective rooms. Moreover, the day was so late that it was almost morning like this.
Erika began to open her eyes, she looked at Upeh's mother who was still compressing her forehead. Looking at the astonished this unknown old lady of his.
"Where is my mom?" erika asked with a frown and a body that was still shivering.
"Non's at den Ciko's. Ervan brought non here" replied Bu Upeh.
Erika sighed and closed her eyes for a moment.
Fortunately, Ervan did not bring her home. Otherwise, perhaps Ervan would have known if he was already a wasted child by now.
Still with a ringing in her face, Erika moved to sit and lean on the bed. His head was dizzy, his waist was throbbing, and also his shivering body made him really uncomfortable.
"Non don't get up. Sleep, let's not lemes" said Bu Upeh
But Erika shook her head and looked at the room. The clock on the wall showed three o'clock in the morning. And he's making strangers troubled because of him tonight.
"Where is my bag?" erika asked as she raised the blanket to her body. He was cold, but he really did not want to trouble people anymore. As much as possible Erika should be able to endure the pain, do not be spoiled. He must be strong.
"There's no, I put it there" Bu Upeh pointed to Erika's bag which turned out to be on the sofa table.
"May I please bring mom. My medicine is there" said Erika.
Bu Upeh smiled and nodded. He immediately got up and walked up to take Erika's medicine. Erika closed her eyes and leaned back in bed.
"It's non" said Bu Upeh.
"Thank you" said Erika. He quickly took his medicine in the bag. The bag is wet, and of course the goods are also wet in there. But luckily Erika's medicine was in the bottle, until it could be saved.
Bu Upeh immediately handed Erika a glass of water for Erika to take her medicine.
"Thank you, Mom. I can rest now. I'm sorry, I took nicotine" Erika said
Bu Upeh smiled and shook his head.
"What is non. No more fever. Let me just accompany you here" replied Bu Upeh
"Don't Mom, I'm not doing anything. After taking the medicine, I was also cured. Mom rest up. I'm used to it like this. Maybe this is also getting worse because of the rain earlier" said Erika.
"Really non? but non is still pale so Lo" Bu Upeh looks so worried. But Erika shook her head and smiled.
"What is ma'am. I just sleep, rest" said Erika again.
"Yes, but what if anything. Tell mom that non. Later Ervan was angry again his mother stayed" said Bu Upeh looks doubtful.
"What's up. I am very good, Mom" replied Erika
"Yas, if that's the case, mother came out first non" said Bu Upeh.
Erika nodded with a faint smile and let Bu Upeh out of the room. After Bu Upeh came out, Erika was again lying on the bed.
Grimacing and holding back the pain that came back. He really didn't want to trouble others. Ervan's been so kind to bring her here and let her sleep at Ciko's. At least for tonight Erika can rest for a moment. And hopefully tomorrow morning this pain will be less, so he can get out of here.
Erika curled up withstanding the cold and pain. His eyes shed tears again.
This soft and comfortable bed was enough to make him comfortable, but his heart was aching.
When sick like this, want someone to take care, someone pays attention. But from a long time ago, he was always sick alone. Even the one who took care of her was also just a housekeeper. Not mother.
Oh Allah...
Please, don't let him trouble others.
Erika long held back her pain and fever, until almost an hour later, then she could fall back asleep when the medicine she was taking had reacted.
..
Morning time...
The Ciko house dining room. Ervan is already sitting while enjoying her warm coffee with Ciko. Their eyes were still soft and puffy as they had just woken up from sleep.
"So Lo Nemu Erika's on the side of the road?" ask Ciko. Last night he hadn't asked Ervan. The day was already quite late, and they were already similarly exhausted.
Ervan just nodded and ate the bread.
"He's where he is now, he can change like that." asked Ciko again.
"Don't know" replied indifferently.
Ervan just clucked in a breath of hearing her. Although he was also curious about where Erika had been all this time.
Several times to the hospital, Ervan never saw Erika accompany her father who was being treated there. And Ervan even more often saw Erika in the street like last night.
What exactly did that girl do?
Ck...why did he become curious like this.
"Why don't you try to go to her house last night. Even brought here" asked Ciko.
"He fainted, it's hard to bring him a motorcycle" Ervan replied.
"His face was pale again. Moreover, said Bu Upeh he had a fever last night" Ciko.
Ervan looked at Ciko in surprise.
"Fever? how now?" ask Ervan again
"Don't know me" replied Ciko. Nonchalant. Makes Ervan really want to shake his head with this coffee glass.
"Udah ah, I want to see him first" Ervan immediately moved from his chair. Makes Ciko gasp in shock.
"Gettered. very attentive" Ciko's tease. He also immediately moved and followed Ervan to Erika's room.
"If he's why I'm wrong. I'm taking him" Ervan replied, sounding sniffy.
"Yes it's wrong for you to. He hated it, but it was still carried" Ciko said.
"Whisper to you, sister. Yes, the next time I stay, he's on the side of the road. I also still have a heart" Ervan grumbled.
Ciko immediately chuckled at hearing that.
Until their steps came to a halt, when Erika had already come out of her room and looked at them with her face still pale.
"Kirain Lo hasn't woken up Rik" said Ciko.
And Ervan could see, if Erika was smiling thinly and very weakly. He was wearing his wet clothes last night. Even the hijab looks limp and tangled .
"I want to say goodbye. Thank you for letting me stay here" Erika replied.
"Well, gotta. Kan Ervan brought it" said Ciko so firmly.
Erika just smiled bitterly and nodded slowly.
"Van.thank you for helping me last night. I'll go home first" now Erika turns to Ervan.
"Are you sure you want to go home?" ask Ciko.
"Yes. Assalamualaikum" said Erika
He looked at Ervan and Ciko alternately, and after that instantly turned his body around.
"Waalaikumsalam" replied Ciko.
"Well the devil is good, son. It's changing really. Usually, if you are fished by aja directly nyolot. Now even dieman" muttered Ciko.
But Ervan was still silent and looked at Erika's departure.
The girl looked so weak, even her face was still so pale.
Why would he want to go home so soon?
Even just by looking at her, Ervan could tell if Erika was still not okay.
"Woi. yaelah, her ngeliatin is so very" said Ciko who immediately patted Ervan's shoulder.
Ervan gasped and sighed slowly.
"Lo didn't see his face pale like that. If he faints again on the street. In part it is not waiting for healthy even already playing away" grumbled Ervan.
"Where does he want to heal. Flat face is equally cold Lo it has made him afraid" said Ciko.
Ervan just clucked and immediately left Ciko.
"Well, where are you going" asked Ciko.
"Go home" Ervan replied.
"Rome home..it's like jailangkung aja tuh behavior" grumbled Ciko.
