Chapter 12 Himself



Regina stared sadly at Algi's slumbering face on the hospital bed, an infusion hose attached to her right hand after two failed attempts. Andra has not returned from the administration room.


"Old kok, Yang." asked Regina when Andra had appeared before her.


"So the tour used to find a copy photo for the registration file, Yang." said Andra.


Andra handed me a packet of rice, "Nih, eat first. You haven't eaten from morning."


Regina accepted and placed the package over a small cupboard beside the bed. "Later, I'm not hungry."


"Eat a little, and you will be sick. If you're sick who helps me take care of Algi." Andra said.


Regina was silent for a moment, then she took the package and ate it.


At five o'clock in the afternoon the patient visit was open, one by one guests began to arrive to visit the other two patients in the room. Until nightfall guests continue to turn to visit.


Regina daydreams sadly beside the sleeping Algi. He was sad at a time like this, he was alone without a single brother accompanying him and encouraging him.


"Where are you from, Dek?" A patient's mother greeted Regina.


"I'm from the lower village, ma'am." replied Regina.


"Oh ... the original village or what?" ask the mother again.


"I'm from Tenggarong, Mom. Just a husband working there." replied Regina.


The two engage in a conversation and are stopped when Regina's phone rings.


"Hello, Re. How's Algi." Katarina's voice sounded worried.


"Sound, Mom. Now he can sleep well" said Regina.


"Thank God, Re. Who are you there?" ask Katarina.


"Two Andra, only Andra again out of the same food Algi milk?" answer Regina.


"You didn't join your nemanin?" ask again.


"No, Ma. My mother-in-law is also no longer feeling well, pity if she is brought with her fear until here the pain is even worse." Lying Regina.


"Oh yeah, Re. Poor him, send a greeting to your in-laws. Sorry, Re. I can't look at you and help you take care of Algi, if you're near mom has departed from earlier." Regret Catherine.


"No papa, Mom. I'm calling Gini Regina is happy, thanks Mom." said Regina.


"Yes, Son. Even though how you are not satisfied if you have not seen your grandson directly, you are careful there. Don't let you not eat ntar you follow the pain and the patient there, Re. I understand how you feel now, do not be sad even if you are alone there but we always support you in prayer." said Katarina.


"Thank you, ma'am." said Regina, holding back tears.


"Yes, I hung up the phone. Remember, take care of your health. Titip kiss for Mom's granddaughter."


Katarina hung up the phone along with Andra's appearance, after Andra arrived Regina immediately walked out leaving Andra confused to see his wife come out while shedding tears.


Andra caught up with Regina and sat next to her on the terrace of the inpatient room.


"You're why, Yang. How come that's it?'' ask Andra.


"No papa, Yang. I'm sad that we're alone in a place like this, there's not a single relative we know here" he said.


"No papa, Yang. It's time for Algi to get sick, it's not your fault" Regina said.


"Sorry, Yang. We go in, Yang, pity Algi alone inside." Andra asked.


"You go first, Yang. I want to get some fresh air first, I'm bored all day inside." replied Regina.


Andra went inside leaving Regina still sitting on the porch. Regina's tears trickled down as she was moved by her mother's undivided care and concern for her while her mother was away from her.


While Marisda who was nearby did not care about her ailing granddaughter, do not call to ask her granddaughter. When Algi was still at home, for a second there was no presence in his father-in-law to visit Algi until Algi would be brought he did not visit.


After five days of treatment, Algi was finally allowed to go home. When they arrived at the house of the boarding mothers and their neighbors-in-law were waiting in front of their house.


"I'm sorry, Re. We can't take Algi there."


Said Ms. Ani followed by apologies and prayers from other mothers when they were in Regina's house.


"No papa, Mom. I know, the place is far away. Thank you mothers for their prayers." said Regina.


"It's Re for Algi, accept ya."


Sinta's mother gave a package of cookies and envelopes to Regina and was followed by the other mother while saying goodbye. Their armpits were already at the door they crossed with Marisda.


"Wah Marisda's mother. Look at the granddaughter, Mom, it's nice to see Algi has a caring grandmother. Lots of cake Algi lucky deh, Gi .. if not run out to share to Aunt Ani next to ya." said Bu Ani.


"Yes, Mom. His name is also a grandson that must be taken by the side." said Marisda as it passed.


"Ndra, I need to be with you for a while" Marisda told Andra.


"Yes ma'am, what's the matter." Andra said.


"Mom wants to go home next Sunday, you add the money" said Marisda.


"There's no money, ma'am. Moreover, Algi just got out of the hospital." replied Andra.


"Not the cost of the hospital is already in the responsibility of the company, you do not have to lie to me" said Marisda upset.


"In corporate responsibility, ma'am. But the needs while there are not the responsibility of the company, the cost of food, the cost of loundry, and other costs during the hospital." explained Andra.


"You are, Ndra. Follow the manjain children like Regina, children catch wind a little while playing the hospital even though it is given coconut oil just as the onion has gone down the heat. I don't want to know anyway you have to prepare three million for Mom to go home."


Marisda said as she stood up and stepped out without turning her head towards Algi who was on Regina's lap. Regina's heart ached to hear Marisda's words but she did not want to show her sadness in front of Andra.


Marisda breezed past the mothers who were still sitting in front of the boarding house without greeting or greeting them.


"Lha the cake is brought again, not in stay for Algi. Kirain for his grandson earlier." said Bu Ani


"Lho Ms ... Ms. ... I don't know Ms. Marisda" replied Ms. Sinta.


"What's the matter with Ms. Marisda" asked Bu Ani curiously.


"Mrs Marisda is ...."


Mothers who sat in front of the boarding house immediately held a gibah event with the theme of Mother Marisda
