I'm Fragile, Lord

Sick Mom

"Ibuuuuuuuu, Ibuuu wake up Mom, wake up Mom!! don't leave Ita alone, Mom! Mom !!"

"Tolooong.!! toloong!! Om !! Om Felix." cried Talita, Talita ran to and fro looking for her stepfather.

Talita was left behind by her father this year, her mother remarried. And now his mother's marriage has been going on for 6 months.

His stepfather was good all this time and Talita already considered Om Felix as his father's successor.

Maybe the reason for their finances is helped by the presence of a father figure. But it's been 3 months since Mom got married, mother often quarrel with Om Felix.

Talita looks for Om Felix in the back of her house, but the figure of her mother's husband is missing. Talita, who had just returned from school, was shocked to find her mother lying under the bed helpless. A little blood came out of his mother's forehead.

Without a second thought Talita asked her neighbors for help. Talita's house is a bit far from the surrounding residential area. Talita walks 15 minutes to the house of Mr. Sobri, Talita's neighbor, who is the best. Sometimes Talita washes clothes at Mr. Sobri's house if his wife calls Talita. It is only when in need that Talita can come to wash their clothes.

"Sir Sobri please.please my mother sir, my mother is sick but no one helped me take her to the Hospital, her husband Mother is somewhere," Talita said after meeting Mr. Sobri.

"Come, quick boy!! we're taking your mother to the hospital,"

"Mom, I'm asking for help. If Om Felix comes, tell me my mother took him to Harapan Bangsa Hospital" Talita told Mr. Sobri's wife.

"Yes son, I will convey it," said Mey's mother, his wife Mr. Sobri.

Luckily Talita has a kind neighbor who always helps Talita. I don't know where her mother's husband is. Talita did not bother, the most important thing now is the health of Talita's mother at this time.

Talita also prepared whatever should be taken to the Hospital. Talita only brought 300k, her pocket money had been set aside.

After an hour of travel, we arrived at Harapan Bangsa Hospital. The doctor and nurse immediately checked on Ms. Talita. We were not allowed to enter the room, we could only wait outside the ER room.

Talita waits for her mother outside the room with a troubled heart, worried about her mother's circumstances. What exactly happened?, when Talita went to school her mother was still fine.

Why after Talita came home from school her mother was sick that Talita herself did not know what pain.

Shortly the Doctor came out of the ER room approaching Talita and Mr. Sobri.

"Family patient?"

"Yes Doctor, I'm his son. What is my mother sick, doctor? "

"Your mother_" The doctor looked at Talita with a look of pity.

"Say Doctor, what is my mother sick"

The doctor took a deep breath before continuing.

"Actually your mother had a stroke all over the deck, as a result of hitting her head causing a rupture of blood vessels the risk is now that all her limbs are no longer functioning properly, your mother,"

When Talita's body was helpless, Talita sat down.

"Ibuuuuu, Ibuuuu.__" as soon as Talita's tears trickled down her cheeks, a bitter cry was heard.

"Patience, son. Consider this your life's ordeal"

Mr. Sobri asked Talita to sit in the waiting room. The doctor suggested that Mother immediately in surgery but because Talita had no cost forced Talita to ask her mother in outpatient only.

The nurse approached Talita and handed her a paper.

"Sir, please take care of the payment in the administration,"

"Thank you, sister "

Talita strengthens her heart, she must not be weak, because only she can take care of her mother later. Wanted to expect his stepfather to be impossible. This alone until now there is no news and news of his mother's husband.

Talita put the paper in the basket provided by the Hospital admin.

"Mother Anna Marwah "

"Yes, mom. I am his son "

"All 1.5jt "

"Can I give you DP first mbak, later the rest after we get home from the Hospital,"

"Adek, there is no BPJS card, yes,"

"So your sister can ask for a certificate from the village to relieve your mother's medical expenses,"

"Good, mbak. This is DP 300k,"

"In the meantime, I'll make a receipt. If there is already a letter from the village can pay half the cost"

"Thank you, ma'am,"

Talita waited for the admin to finish making the receipt of the DP payment, after getting Talita's receipt back to the ER room approaching Mr. Sobri.

"How son, how much does it all cost,"

"The word must be 1.5jt but I have to make a certificate of not being able to let there be a waiver to pay the Hospital fee. It only pays 750k. I paid the remaining 300k after Mom left the hospital."

"This Is Little Money, even though only 200k in order to increase the payment" Mr. Sobri handed red card money as much as 2 pieces.

"Thank you sir, may your recovery continue. Aamiin," Talita received the money. Actually he wanted to refuse but now he also needs more money for his mother's care later.

"By the same boy, your stepfather is not yet seen, even though it is almost night,"

"I also don't know Sir, hopefully Om Felix has the money to make up for the medicine and the Hospital payment later."

"Father go first, tomorrow his wife will take care of your mother so you can take care of the letter in the Village later,"

"Okay sir, thank you in advance for helping me a lot,"

"Same - son, you already consider you part of the family father really,"

"Thank God, may the good of your father be repaid by God,"

"Aamiin"

"Assalamu'alaikum,"

"Getishalight."

Mr. Sobri went straight out to the parking lot of his transport car. Mr. Sobri is just an angkot driver. Lucky to have a neighbor like Mr. Sobri who would willingly lend a ride to bring his mother Talita to the Hospital.

During this time, only Mr. Sobri and his wife always helped Talita and his mother after Talita's father died. Mr. Sobri's wife is also very good. Talita sometimes ironing sometimes washing but not every day only if called Mother Mey only. If Mother Mey is busy or not feeling well would invite Talita to work. Understand the income of a driver certainly not how much.

Talita is currently only thinking about Om Felix where it went, until now has not come to the Hospital. To this day, I have not yet returned home.

Talita is sad to think about her life later, must take care of her mother or go to school.

Talita must choose one of them, if she goes to school who will take care of and take care of her mother later. But if he does not go to school, his future is at stake because he only has a junior diploma.

SMP diploma if now can not work in the store can not even be used to apply for jobs in large companies.

Talita doesn't want to drop out of school but what about her mother ??

His stroke attacked his mother's entire body, if only half could walk but this was all his mother's limbs could not be moved.

Talita is increasingly confused about her future and her life with her mother later.

Expecting Om Felix, the husband of his mother will not be possible, especially for 3 months it has been seen Mother and Om Felix often fight every night.

Talita never knew what the cause was, sometimes she just covered her ears with a pillow if she heard their quarrel until she finally fell asleep.

Talita is getting upset, if Om Felix knows that his mother has a stroke. Will Om Felix survive with his mother later??

or immediately ask for separation, and it could add to the sadness of his mother later.

Talita prayed that she and her mother could be steadfast in the days ahead and Om Felix remained responsible for their lives in the future.

"O Allah_give me patience, sincerity in living your days. Yes Rabby... May Om Felix quickly wake up and come to the Hospital, and may I recover and recover as before, Aamiin," Talita sobbed for how many tears had dripped down her cheeks. His eyes were swollen from crying.

Talita fell asleep next to her mother.
