I WASN'T...

Sick (2)

I opened up some chemical package books on the table that were supposed to be where the food the hospital was sharing. That day, I was very bored. The sky outside was cloudy, gray clouds were hanging low.

"Deb, rest!" Ms. Feli, one of my responsible nurses during her treatment at the HCU warned. "You are, every day learning continues. What is the intention of relaxing a little?"

"It's relaxing, ma'am, '" I replied with a grin.

"Great, yes! It's worth it with the textbooks."

"Mbak Feli is calm! I'm already better. Later if I feel tired, I immediately fall."

Mama Feli sighed, giving up. "Promise, yes! If there's anything, push the bell to call!"

I held up the bell that was lying next to my ass. The bell was deliberately placed close to my reach in order to be able to ask for help quickly.

Feli's mother finally allowed me to fill my time by studying. Besides maths, I also love chemistry. Physics too. History is okay too. Sociology I like too. Ah, physics too. Anyway, I like to study. I love the time my brain works. Because it's the only organ in my body that works normally.

If there's a book in front of my nose, I'm not paying attention around. I was immersed in my own world. Enjoyed every number that caught my eye.

"Lo learn?"

I looked up quickly, shocked by the voice of the man who suddenly sounded from the end of my bed. "Lho's? Is Satya here?"

"Gue's coming for a cry."

I looked towards the wall clock. It's four o'clock. It turns out it's afternoon.

"Gue waited an hour ago," continued Satya. "Gue didn't know the visiting hours could be that tight in the HCU room."

"Satya's brother knows where I've been treated here?"

Satya lifted the chair closer so she could sit right next to me. "Temen lo one is a frenzy not a play. Not only me, like one school knows you're sick."

"Rena?"

"Who else." Satya folded her hands over my bed. "But I don't clearly know. What exactly does it hurt?"

I threw a smile at him. "Sick stomach. Want pup!"

"You want a pup, you get into HCU? It's so rich!"

"That's what?" I salfok the same as Satya brought.

Satya tidied the books on my desk first, after which took out a pudding box from inside the bag she was carrying. "Pudding doesn't cause diarrhea, does it?"

"God! I love the pudding!" without shame, I open the lid of the box and gobble up Satya's pudding. "Make me all, right?"

"For, dong!"

"Healthy people don't need good food!" refuse I don't know thank you. As long as I enjoyed Satya's pudding, she kept quiet. Noiseless. I am going towards him. "Satya really wants to?" ask me, I feel bad.

Satya laughed softly. "Eat aja. I just love to see you eat so greedy."

"Satya's sister looks like Rena."

"Like?" reset Satya. "Where's the part?"

"Part of seeing me eat." I bribed Satya's pudding again without mercy. "Rena always told me to eat. No matter what food I ask for, he is always full. I go to her house often to ask for food."

"He's the one cooking?"

"Dear child like Rena, never allowed to hold a knife."

"Somewhere?" Satya propped up her chin with one hand. "It's like you know Rena so well, huh?"

"Satya's brother has never spoken to Rena?" I'm back with him. "At that time, I gave Rena her number, right? Haven't you called yet?"

Satya shrugged her shoulders. "Gue doesn't need to be with her."

I turned my head, not knowing the same answer. Why is Satya confusing, huh?

"Lo feel good after eating the pudding?"

"Not good anymore, I'm healthy!"

Satya suddenly closed the pudding box. Then he put the rest of the pudding into the fridge.

"Eight," corrections. "Don't eat at once! Make it another night."

"But I'm still maaaauuu.."

Satya sat down again in her chair, not heeding my request. "When can you go home?"

"Maybe two or three more days?" i'm terka. I've been here three days. My doctor in charge has done a lot of tests. My condition has improved too.

"Over, huh?"

"Tomorrow plans to move into a regular room."

"That means the clock is free, dong?"

"Satya's sister wants to come again?"

Satya nodded. "What do I want to bring tomorrow?"

I'm silent for a moment. Maybe because we were just friends, Satya wanted to bother me in the hospital. When I was in junior high school, many friends came to see me when I had to hospitalize. But so often I go to the hospital, slowly they do not come again. Only Rena remained with him.

Shaking my smartphone made me aware of daydreams. Rena called. "Start, yeah, brother! Rena called," I got Satya's permission.

"Yes, just pick it up."

"Hello?" my greeting.

"Debi! Who, in the hell, inside!? I want to come in but he says there are visitors! I waited thirty minutes outside! Not exactly you, right? You see, I was breathing the same nyokap lo on the first floor."

"Oh, yeah, not knocking me."

"Keep who!? Ms. Feli said, she had never seen him. Your classmate? Or our school?"

"Ren, say it slowly," I asked. My ears almost budge because he uses gas. "Gue ama Satya's sister."

"Satya's sister?"

"Yes, Brother Satya here looks at me," I explained. Rena was on the other side of the phone. I went to Satya, she asked what was without a sound. "Lo want to nemenin Satya's sister chat outside for a while?"

Satya was startled and whispered, "lha? How me?"

"Gue is not good to ask Satya to go home immediately. You have a conversation as a cover, huh?" ask me to Rena. "Gue's tired, want to rest."

Rena cleared her throat. "Okay, if that's what you want."

"Wait a minute, yeah!" I disconnected the phone.

"Why did I become a victim?" ask Satya.

"Not a collision, brother! I'm just trying to save my life."

"You mean?"

"Rena can't go in for a peek because Satya's sister is here. He's angry for waiting a long time." I'm stopped. I can't say that I asked Satya to talk to Rena to improve the mood of Rena, because Satya is special for Rena. "If Rena is angry, I can't eat well anymore at her house."

"If so, let me give you a good meal every day."

"What is my pet!?" I protested annoyed. "Damn! Take Rena to talk for a minute. There is no harm in being friends with him. Rena is a fun person, so Kak Satya will not be bosen chatting with Rena."

Satya scratched her head. "Yes, if that's what you want" Satya replied in the end.

As he got up from his seat, I hurriedly added. "Sister, be careful going home. I think it's gonna rain."

"Yes," Satya replied with a smile. Well, Rena would melt if you look at this. "Tomorrow I'll come again. Before I come here, I'll chat you for the room number and you want to bring what."

"Not bother, brother."

"Tomorrow, fast response, yes!" satya did not hear my answer. Then he passed from my room.

Well.. It's nothing, deh! Satya eventually disappeared too like my other friends. I'm not angry, I understand. They have their own lives to live. They don't have time for people to die like me.

"Tomorrow what to bring, huh?" mutter me while falling.
