I Choose You!
#132 Courage
“Everything looks good,” uncle check x-ray results, “Hest at home is not a problem.”
“Iya, can just go home. But do not do heavy work first,” other doctors agree, “If you need, can I prepare paracetamol so that the pain does not interfere.”
“This is sure? No need hospitalization one or two days?” mom still can't believe it.
“If his bones are broken, he can't laugh now,” uncle explained it is always unique yes.
“Rizki has faced this experience, if you do not believe that, want to believe who?” dad was confused too.
“Take it easy, mom. Mother's son strong. It's just bruises on the right back and arms. Mother's son just needs to rest. Diligently compressed warm water two to three times a day for ten minutes,” the doctor had written something.
“The wound is so red...,” mom is still scared.
“No papa ma'am. Bruises are like that. There was broken blood inside and it finally looked red. About a week later the color will disappear. I recommend this medicine ointment. Adjust it by how you wear it. Two three weeks God willing healed completely.”
Mom take paper from doctor, “If not healed?”
“Doctor Wirandi has given me ice packs, right?”
“Already,” uncle just answer.
“Then I don't have to worry. Treat it first with the routine of the wound, make efforts first. God willing healed bu.”
Tonight is getting late. If this continues, you will not want to leave the hospital. I'm just worried because I screamed sick in the car. That's also because the road is not good.
Uncle so there is no option to ask his acquaintances to open the IGD line and immediately check the x-ray. I know my uncle also realized that my injuries weren't that bad.
I can still sit. Sick just a little papa. What's important is that you can be calmer.
“Mom, don't papa if we go home now. Fares... tired.”.
“How are you, baby?”
“Doctors say I do not papa,” try me smile, “Fares also do not like to stay in the hospital.”
“I sebat luka son mother. Can immediately drink also paracetamol so that the return does not hurt. As soon as possible mending his son immediately rest, ma'am,” doctor like to bandage my wound.
Mother still hasn't been convinced. Always worried.
“Gini deh,” uncle have an idea, “Here will be close to my house, Fares just stay at my house. I can monitor it, right? Not much different from hospitalization.”
Uncle always has a solution that's out of his head. If I stay, I can make you calmer.
It is not much different from hospitalization, but uncle does not monitor that tight as well. Maybe one or two days, I'll be allowed to go to college again. It was also common to stay at uncle's house. So it's delicious.
“If Fares wants,” uncle asks while looking here.
Aa. It must be about me still awkward with Rasyi.
But....
“Mother doesn't papa if I stay at uncle's house?”
“No papa, right?” I asked mom.
Still seems obviously worried, “Ya already. But, Riz, don't let Fares go anywhere.”
“She, I'm in jail at home.”
I know uncle didn't really say that.
It's clock. It still took me an hour and two to get to uncle's house. It's been too late. Lucky uncle's connection is good, so we don't have to wait long.
True as well, Rasyi and the others were still waiting outside. Rasyi is also hot. Taking medication alone will not be enough.
“Thank you doctor,” mom still can't let me walk alone.
We finally got out.
“Loh, Rasyi,” mom is also shocked.
Rasyi stood right in the doorway.
“Where?” Rasyi is not calm either?
“Rasyi,” I smile to him.
“Yes?!”
“Rasyi road stop loh.”
“Aa! Yes!” he's backtracking.
“Something broke, bone?” Saga can still joke.
“Hush! Don't be like that!” I don't see that as a joke.
Vian nyenggol Saga, “Sorry, auntie. His brain dissolves into the stomach due to hunger.”
“You're the hungry time!”
“Ye, whose stomach sounds from earlier?”
“Your ears times that go into the stomach itself.”
“Kak Sari want to buy ointment medicine right? In front of the road there is the same pharmacy minimarket,” uncle suddenly spoke, “You all come there.”
Aa, uncle just doesn't like the storm.
“Can while going home later right?” dad seems worried.
“No, no. I just walk straight there so hurry. Fares the road slowly, yes?” mom already brought the paper earlier, “Please pick it up there later.”
You can't say no. I usually prefer to walk everywhere. It must be because I'm still worried.
How else would you like?
“Rasyi follow.”
“All the children come, there,” uncle already can not stand yes?
Mom laughs, “Come everyone comes along. Aunty buy food at minimarket. On hungry, right?”
They left eventually too. Uncle will be more angry if Saga same Vian noisier again.
It's time we left too. I can still walk, but if not slowly the pain feels.
Baby, some days it's nothing. This week there seems to be no choice but to miss it.
“Mending directly to the car,” dad want to go first, “Hand here.”
I hold onto Dad's shoulder. Start the road slowly. Same uncle dad's way in front of me.
“No problem to get one child at home?” dad's not shy, huh?
“Truly Fares is your son?” uncle follow too.
Dad replied again, “Hey, hey, don't talk weird.”
“See who started and see who stopped.”
“Aaa...,” I'm so confused.
Sometimes they like to argue like that. Pretty weird too.
Uncle said again, “Well, if Fares does not stay at home too, I will often be called there.”
Dad laughed ridiculously, “Your smarts are useful too when the situation is like this.”
“Thank you for your child who is free-falling into the sea.”
Uncle's sarcasm toward me again, “Sorry.”
Replied uncle again, “What are you doing to jump from the port? So far into the middle of the sea can be washed away., if you do not know.”
“Oh it,” said it should be slow so it sounds not to blame anyone, “I'm the same Rasyi had a little debate, kept me missteps so even fell.”
“Hmm... depleted driven Rasyi?”
Uncle was always so sensitive.
“Not pushed kok,” blahin but do not blame people is quite difficult if uncle is too sensitive.
“Means retracted.”
Increasingly sensitive.
“Drawn? How?” dad talked too?
Uncle replied also, “Lest pull the mine, continue Rasyi even loose. You think?”
“Sorry,” I'm so bad.
“You're the one who should be sorry,” muscular father to uncle?
“I beg pardon my son with all your kindness,” uncle wants to mock again huh?
Amazingly uncle can always run the conversation he wants. I am not a person who likes to be controlled either. So, as a result, they seemed like they wanted to continue arguing.
Uncle look this way, “Oh, and, if you're smart, don't throw away the chance.”
Opportunities....
“You still want to keep your distance from Rasyi? Could be next time it will fall from the abyss.”
“I'll be more careful,” I don't know uncle takes very seriously.
“Why keep the distance?” if dad knew....
“Whose child has? Ask yourself,” uncle again.
“No papa, uncle. I've decided to stop it so.”
Uncle's right, nothing will be right if I avoid continuing. If I want to be her sister, I have to be her brother. If you don't want to be a sister....
Aa, I don't want to be a sister anymore.
Please don't be angry, Riza.
