I WASN'T...

Pubescent

Eat well in front of me. He purposely came to my inpatient ward just to eat in front of me. His cheeks puffed up because so much he put food in his mouth.

"Drink first, son!" Mother thrust a glass full of water at Gilang. Instead of reaching for the glass, Gilang immediately sipped it from Mom's hand.

"Well," whispered the henchman Satya sitting next to me. "Why did he go to lo's hospital room?"

"Since yesterday," I sizzled. If I'm a snake, I've got this crazy guy!

So, the story is like this. I had to be hospitalized for recovery of the condition, at least three days. Then, Gilang who was treated next to me also asked for hospitalization. He whined at the guard doctor who finally collapsed. The kind of rich people who don't know the money want to be flanked.

During the hospitalization, Gilang always came to my inpatient room. She chatted with Mom, as if she were her own mother. He brought a lot of food, but did not want to eat it all by himself. Mother always gets good food while accompanying me in the hospital, as well as Sister Dika.

"Gue wants to rest here, but he always comes," I still whisper to Satya. The clock was eight o'clock at night, but Satya stopped going home. We were talking casually about the school life I missed for two days, before Gilang ngerecokin.

"Satya and Rena can also follow!" He shouted suddenly.

Satya and I exchanged a glance. We were so excited to curse Gilang in our hearts that we did not hear what Gilang was talking about. "What link?" ask Satya.

"Baked in my house. About materials and tools, let me buy."

"What do you know, what to buy?" search me.

"The same grill of meat, right?" answer me lightly, as always. It seemed like his brain was not designed to think of anything other than making up stories.

Gua and Satya sighed simultaneously. "Let me who nemenin you buy materials later," I volunteered. "Wait for my good health first."

"Gue will also nemenin lo," continued Satya.

"Daughter of Bavel must also ask to come if you go, right?"

I shrugged my shoulders. Rena will definitely come. He'll stick with me.

"Before that, you should be completely healthy again!" Mother warned.

Brother Dika emerged from the door of my inpatient room, carrying his large backpack. I just remembered, today he will go again to Depok to continue his education. "Sik, you have to take good care of yourself, yes!" Brother Dika is bending me tightly. "Finished education, I'll find a job near home, or we buy a house in Depok, yes?"

"Is it that easy to move house?" i laugh. "So, it's calm. Debi will often relapse, but Debi has a goal to finish high school. Debi can't possibly give up that easily."

Brother Dika kissed my forehead full of affection. From the look in his eyes, I know how he feels heavy hearted going after me who is still in the hospital. "Makasi has survived, brother!"

"When," Mother thrust a brown envelope at Sister Dika. "Elect for you. If less, just say it to Mom, yes!"

"Good, Mom! Salaried during the internship! Don't have to buy all pocket money! Dika is still a boy!?"

Mother still forces Kak Dika to receive the envelope that I gave her. "You're Mom's son and you deserve the same thing that Debi got."

Dika hugged Mom longer. The atmosphere in the room became sad because of Kak Dika's behavior. "Mom, Dika had a phone call with Dad. Dad said, can't go home this month because of a lot of work."

Actually I'm a little upset to hear Mom say that. Mom is not a relaxed person. Mother also works, plus I have to take care of the sickly. Then why do you have to work in such a way, until you can not go home?

I bowed with a frown. All this time, we've been living. There was no drastic improvement in our lives, but Dad was always busy with his work. What are you chasing? The department? The dreams?

We took off the trip, Dika. After that, Gilang again excited with the story of his life journey. "Gil, stop! I need a break!" I throw a pillow at Gilang. "Here you go, play with me!"

"Lo also needs a break, Deb!" Satya reminded. "Auntie rest, let me nemenin Gilang in his room." Satya got up from her seat, then immediately dragged Gilang out of my room. Of course Gilang did not immediately want to come. He asked to be released. However, Satya's energy is always doing sports, greater than Gilang's energy. Satya easily managed to take him away.

My room was quiet. Mom laughed as soon as I threw myself in bed. "It's a lot, huh?" My mother put herself on the sofa near my bed. "It's never been this crowded during your junior high. Is this because you're in puberty?"

"What's the connection, Mom?"

"Because you're surrounded by men."

I shook my head loudly, not agreeing with Mom's opinion. "I think Mom misunderstood their behavior" I explained. "Satya is Rena's idea. I realize, right, how does Rena look every time there is Satya? Debi can't possibly snatch his best friend's ass."

"Then Gilang?"

"Good, Mom! Which girl would like a stone brain guy like Gilang? Debi keki is amazing every time he talks to Gilang! His self-esteem and confidence were too high!"

My mother even listened to my answer. Her tears came out so hard Mom laughed. "Mom had a good feeling about those two people. They make you more active than usual."

Good that? I was more active than ever, but the more I went to the hospital. I'm weakened, but my dream is soaring.

I smiled sadly. I look like a father full of ambition. I focus too much on what I want, until sometimes I forget the maximum limit of my body.

"Son.. I will not forbid anything you want to do. You are free, as long as you know your limits. Befriend a lot of good people like them. They'll take care of you."

"Except Disappear!" my toilet is upset. "Mommy doesn't know how she lives, does she? He can't even go home shopping at the supermarket in front of the complex!"

"Oh, huh?"

"Debi brought him home that day!" I was excited, considering how strange he was at the time. I still bete if you remember him nagging behind my ears. "When Debi went to school, too, she didn't know the way home! Gilang insisted on waiting for Debi until the time to go home from school. He knows, he's making a scene and spreading charm at Debi's school!"

"Good, right? So many."

"What?" I shuddered like a cold person. "The plant is a type of species that is almost extinct on the face of the earth, but Debi doesn't mind that he is extinct!" I laughed to myself.

"Then, Satya is the type you like?"

I returned Mom's gaze with a confused face. The satya? Of course he's a good-natured man every girl's dream.
