I Love My Uncle

Chapter 10 (It turns out I've Had Meningitis).

"said papa' mama until frightened when seeing the condition of my body that I want to lose life, em.... how to say yes' eto.. said papa? I seemed to have a temporary shortness of breath but suddenly stopped like there was no movement from my body.."

Grandma Yanni sat on this bed, with her right palm busy stroking my hair.

"same papa mom went back and forth to the hospital in the village but in fact there was no change at all in me, until I was transferred to a rather luxurious hospital there' but I had to be treated in an incubator for a few days.Yes, you know, a premature baby, when the doctor there checked my condition' he said..."

"said?..."

"this child's disease, there is a problem in the nerves in the brain' maybe like a sensitive viral disease that will cause the pressure of his brain to weaken, yes! the point could be that this kid doesn't remember too much"

"yes that's how he said. he..he.but it's okay' said papa I've been cured even though the fact I often forget, maybe this is still the effect aja..."

I saw the doctor give me a paper, when I read the contents of the writing here' it turns out my disease is Meningitis.

"Meningitis is an inflammatory disease of the membrane that covers the brain and spinal cord, which is unitary called meninges. This inflammation can be caused by a viral, bacterial, or other microorganism infection"

Membranes, meninges, microorganisms' serious illness like that there are? I don't feel pain, but I just feel forgetful haha.

"means Membrane, Meningen, and ea... Mi... What microorganism is doc?..."

"A "membrane is a membrane, thin skin, or sheet of thin material, which serves as a selective separator. microorganisms or microbes are living organisms that are very small and can only be observed with the help of a microscope. Some say this disease is difficult to treat and there can also be treated, em.... whether in the hospital there used to be a stock of drugs?..."

What the doctor said earlier I was just a strike' yes why I do not understand what the meaning of my disease, free also he explained at length.

"maybe there's a time, I never asked papa about the drug' so I don't know..."

I gave him this paper but he told me to go over it, a sign of proof that I have the name Meningitis.

"oh he.. I remind you not to think much about what else is dizzy ya' okay..."

"i'm sorry I forgot to love you Anna, are you afraid of something' you know..why you are unconscious, there may be other causes' for example things you do not like..."

I don't like it, I'm afraid, I mean the same as hate.

"em.. might be' my nenek in the village.."

Last night I was really in the habit of fear because I remember the events of many years while still in Primary School, yap... for the first time my fear became great because grandma novilah made me like this' she locked me in the bathroom.

(**grandmother...please open the door).

(can't you understand, I'm not in the mood with your homemade tea just now' Your physical mala is weak' easily dizzy, tired be.. ha spoiled ame yes? I'm warning you not to look out for your parents' you understand.).

In this bathroom' very cold and humid, the aura is not so pleasant' please open the door, I don't like the behavior of my assessment, papa please go home... grandma novi doesn't love me she always blames her past, yep she always turns on uncle roby? as if uncle roby was bad luck to grandma novi! please papa go home, I don't understand' why..why with grandma novi, what's wrong with her! to be honest what is the problem with BRAHMANNA** family***.

"ANNA... ANNA..."

I immediately realized when my name was called by the Iranian om earlier, when my eyes were facing towards him that I saw his tears begin to sag, but immediately on his wipe suddenly as if he did not want uncle roby to see it.

"what's the matter?..."

"your body was trembling with fear, and your gaze was blank..."

Really it? which confused me Grandma yanni mala hugged my body, while the doctor looked at me without esfresi and his mouth said.

"Anna. I think you're traumatized..."
