TEMPUS 24: Caught

This morning, I was so lazy to get out of bed. I turned off the alarm clock fifteen minutes ago. Even now the wall clock still shows six o'clock in the morning past fifteen minutes.

My body really felt sore, tired, weak, and my head was dizzy. Sometimes I feel a little nauseous, but not to the point of vomiting. All the symptoms I held while still lying down, closing my eyes, and hugging the bolster.

I better not go to college today. I'll send permission not to go to the lecturer.

Where is my phone? I was really limp to get up and look for the whereabouts of my phone. It feels very weak, not powerful. But I think it's still good, my body is not carefree or feverish. Just aching and still limp, then dizzy. Maybe because it's still in recovery condition where I should have to rest for a while.

TOK TOK!!

I immediately snorted at the knocking of the louder door.

“LOVAAA!! WAKE SON!! ALREADY AWAKE YET??”

Nah, kan. It's a natural alarm, the voice of my mother, the first lady in this house. “I didn't go to college first Buuuu!!” I cried with a voice I couldn't force to get any firmer.

Clamps!

I heard my door was open, I wasn't locked from the inside since last night. The sound of footsteps approached me. And before long, I felt the surface of my forehead being touched by my mother's palm.

“You sick?” Ask Mom.

I opened my eyes in a limp condition. I also nodded. “Cuman just doesn't feel well. But I don't have a fever, ma'am.”

“Yes you do not have a fever, but anyep very. Surely you will be cold dry. Already permission lecturer not?”

“Not yet, please get my phone dong Bu.” My love.

“Where?” Ask Mom who I saw she was looking for my cell phone.

I also shook my head. “Please find Yes Ma. My head's dizzy. It might be in the bag.” L'm limp.

A few minutes searching, Mom finally found my phone that was still in the bag. But it was in the box pocket to the right of the bag, so Mom could find my phone a few minutes later.

“Nih..” Mom said by giving my phone to me.

I received it and immediately sent a short message containing the permission sentence not to enter politely, to my lecturer. All of you also advised Sera, to help my permission who cannot enter today.

“Ke doctor only yuk. Let's ask for a certificate not to enter as well, so you can not go to college for three days first. If indeed your body needs rest, yes it has rest first, do not be forced.” Said Mother.

“How is the doctor here? I really, really am lemes, not wanting to go outside. Dizziness. If you are carried with you brothers, embarrassed. It's been a big time to go to his doctor carried.” Whiney.

I saw Mom laughing softly, then she nodded. “Yes already, I'm calling Airin's doctor here. But don't know what time Airin's here. I'll send a message to you if Airin's doctor wants to come here.”

I just nodded, glad to hear that Mom agreed that only the doctor was here. Dr. Airin is our family doctor. Dr. Airin has often come home to check our health if there is someone who is sick but can not come to the practice or to the hospital.

“Mother is busy?” I asked, because I saw my mother wearing a young gray apron.

My mother nodded and stroked my head slowly. “Iya, and later at nine o'clock in the morning mom should go outside first huh. Want anther pesenan in the form of snacks for that shipment. Mom went with Johan, got in her car. And I think the mother is a bit long gone, because this customer is located in Bogor city. After this mother anterin you food yes, later I put it on the folding table so you can eat at any time. Your brothers must also be busy working and attending college. You okay a few hours at home alone?”

Mom smiled, but I could tell that her gaze now looked very sad looking at me. Maybe her feelings as a mother actually did not have the heart to leave me who was sick, but what power if it had already promised the customer that it would deliver the order and meet in person. I certainly don't want to disappoint my customers.

And when Mom came out of my room, I closed my eyes again. I can only sleep and sleep for now.

At half-eleven in the afternoon, Dr. Airin actually came to the house. He knocked on my door, and I had just finished my breakfast which should have been this morning.

The porridge that Mother made this morning, I did eat gradually. It's okay to be cold, which definitely tastes good to eat and lucky my tongue does not taste bitter.

“Haloo... morning to noon, Bellova.” Greet Doctor Airin as soon as he enters my room.

I smiled too. “Hai Dok.. sorry yes, I can't get there directly.” I'm familiar with Dr. Airin.

The beautiful doctor smiled sweetly and began to sit on the edge of my ranjanng. He also kindly set up a folding table containing a bowl of porridge that I had spent and a glass of melamine that was empty. He moved the folding table to the floor to be safe.

“Just relax Lova, I am used to coming here. You seem to be exhausted.”

I nodded as Doctor Airin began to attach the tension device to my right arm. “Iya Doc. And now it feels weak, dizzy, sometimes nauseous, and achy.” I clearly.

Dr. Airin nodded, pressing the tension balloon. Ah, I don't know what it's called, I call it the balloon part because it is pressed and sounds like a slow gust of wind being pumped. So that I can make that tension device show my blood pressure.

“Hmm, your blood pressure is also low huh. Now it is at ninety-sixty. What's been going on lately? Have you ever experienced anything? Usually your blood pressure will remain normal even though you are sick.” Said Dr. Airin.

I was grinning thinly, then about to answer, but it turns out that someone answered Dr. Airin's question first.

“He's wandering Doc, recalcitrant. And yesterday she had a nosebleed, and then she was infused in the hospital. But when he came home, he didn't want to tell a story. That's the effect of a child lying, isn't Dok?”

Both my eyes are round. Since when did Brother Eagle stand in the doorway with both hands crossed over his chest? To the point that I immediately sat up straight from the shock of seeing it.

“Call it. Why didn't you tell me that it was a nosebleed?” Ask Dr. Airin while pointing a stethoscope at my upper chest and abdomen. He told me to take a regular breath.

After that, I responded directly to Brother Eagle. “Kak!! What the hell!!” My protest. She knows where yesterday's events happened to me?

I heard Dr. Airin chuckle. “Already, you're okay. Your body is tired and needs enough rest. Drink plenty of water, do not eat late, eat regularly and get enough sleep. I will prescribe some medications and vitamins. The vitamin is taken for one week yes, the medicine I give to drink only four days.” Clearly gently and began to write down the prescription of the drug on the paper note that he always carried.

Of course, the official paper notes that have a logo name where the practice is. So later it can be redeemed at the pharmacy smoothly.

I still frowned looking at Brother Eagle whose attitude seemed very proud after saying like that.

“Lain times, lie a little sinteran yes, Lova. Let your brother not know and you are not caught.” Said Brother Eagle with a cynical look at me.

Argh, sucks. Why is that man at home at this hour? But come to think of it, who else would have opened the door for Doctor Airin if not Brother Eagle. My mother's catering employees were no longer at home because they were busy going to deliver orders and the rest delivered catering supplies to the company office.
