" This is our beautiful class star." Praise Arum while embracing me and I blush because of my best friend's praise.
After a few days ago we were preoccupied with a repeat of the class increase finally today we received the result of our hard work, I am grateful that I can still maintain my ranking, I am grateful that I am still able to maintain my rank, it's just that today there is no sister Ega who shares my likes, nor is there a mother who took a report for me, fortunately Mama Arum can come to school and I trouble her to be my guardian.
" Happy Ndi, you are the best, Rasain Naura lost again to you." Imbuh Dita who now embraces me too.
" Thank You for that."
" But I'm worried."
" Why?" Arum took his hand off my shoulder and now turned to look at me.
" What if Naura still thinks Brother Zean is cheating?"
" It's quiet Ndi, our classmates also know that if you are smart, you don't have to worry, what can Naura do?" Said Arum trying to calm me down.
" Yes Ndi, he's just jealous of you, just let the dog bark." Imbuh Dita's.
" Guk Guk Guk."
I chuckled at the sound of my two friends mimicking the sound of dogs. True what the two of them said, I don't need to worry too much, I'm sure Brother Zean didn't do anything cheating, I got number one on the basis of my hard work all along.
"Where are we going today?" Take Dita with her spirit.
" I can't, you know my grades are down and you're mad at me, I have to go home." Said Arum while drowning .
" I also have to go to the hospital, I want to see Brother Ega."
I clasped Arum's shoulders just to give him some spirit.
" So, Ega hasn't come home yet?"
" Not Dit."
" God, it means sister Ega loves that woman so much that she has to work hard to forget that woman, I'm sure sister Ega makes work an excuse, actually, he just wanted to keep himself busy in order to forget the woman."
" Actually who the mad woman is, I wonder, which foolish woman tried to resist Ega's sister, was handsome, doctor, kind too." Imbuh Dita ends his long kutbah.
" I don't know either." Answer weak. I can't possibly tell you that I'm that stupid woman.
It was also my fault for not telling them what really happened, I just told them that sister Ega had been busy for 5 months and did not come home, the reason is because he was rejected by the women in his tribe, so now I have to accept hearing the swearing from my friends, because they don't know I'm the woman.

" Basic cheating." Naura whispered in my ear then she deliberately bumped into my shoulder as she passed me.
" You don't have eyes, glasses on you to see if anyone's standing here." Shouted Arum did not accept Naura's treatment of me.
Naura turned her head and just idling the tip of her lips created a sly smile, her innocent face was no longer visible, there was only a look of hatred on her face now.
" It's Rum, let it go. Let's go home." I broke up Arum who started to get hooked, I don't want my friends to get affected because of my problems and Naura
When Arum calmed down we finally went home, we split up in front of the school. I decided to go to the hospital again, who knows I can meet with sister Ega now.
The taxi I was riding stopped right in the hospital lobby, I immediately went in and headed for the reception desk.
" Want to see Dr Kevin?" Guess one of the staff who was at the reception desk, he might have memorized it with my face because several times saw me looking for sister Ega.
" Yes, yeah."
" It just so happens that Kevin's doctor didn't have surgery today, he was in his practice room, but he didn't receive any visits other than patients."
" I just happened to want to see Dr. Kevin."
" Have you had any previous complaints?" Ask the female staff kindly.
" Lately my stomach hurts a lot, I read on Google most likely symptoms of appendicitis, eat it I'm here and want to consult." Forgive me Lord, may You not give me a disease, I just want to see Brother Ega and this is the only way, I have to lie.
" May I borrow his ID or Family Card for registration."
I took out the Family Card from my bag, fortunately I had prepared all this before, because I did not have a ID card I only attached a photocopy of my mother's ID card instead.
" Is there no family present?"
" My sister and mother are working together."
" So this is Dr Kevin's sister?"
Adek, since when did he call me adek, I was very uncomfortable with the call, but I nodded in agreement to the question.
" This is his registration card, Adek can go straight to Kevin's doctor's office right now." Said the staff with a big smile, then he gave me the registration card.
I bowed my head politely and then rushed towards Ega's room. In front of his room there were still some patient queues, I sat down and waited for my turn to be called.
After almost an hour, a nurse called me and let me in, inside Ega's sister was busy tidying up some documents.
There was relief in my heart when I saw my sister was fine, the longing that had been held back for a few months was already being treated.
" Please sit down." Said the nurse, then she helped me pull the chair so I was more free to sit down.
" Something is bi....." Sister Ega stopped her sentence as she realized I was in front of her as a patient.
" What are you doing here?" Ask Ega half-whispering.
" I'd like a doc's consultation, lately my stomach hurts." I answered as if I were a patient who needed the help of a doctor.
" Which part of the stomach hurts? Does it hurt like hell? why not tell my sister that it hurts." Ask Mr. Ega, he seems to be starting to worry.
" I think doctor Kevin is very busy, so I don't want to bother." I replied politely, actually I just wanted to show my anger.
" Lay down first, let brother check." Brother Ega's orders regardless of my words, he might know I'm angry, but he prefers to check on me first.
" No need, I'm not sick." Ketus.
" Sus, how many more patients are there today?"
" She's the last patient of the doc."
" You may rest first, let me examine this patient.
" But doc."
" No papa."
" Okay doc, then I'll excuse you."
After the nurse left, Ega's sister moved her chair and approached me. He sat down and looked at me.
" Why come here?" Ask soft sister Ega.
" Want to see if Kevin's doctor is still alive." I answered ketus, although relieved to see sister Ega is fine, but the annoyance in my heart is still passionate, it feels like I want to yell at sister Ega.
" Why do you talk to me like a sister?"
" I think Kevin's doctor forgot he had a sister."
" I'm sorry." He said softly, he grabbed my hand and held it.
" For?"
" Everything. Brother is really busy, sister did not even have time to go home, sister has also apologized to mother, so you hope you understand and forgive brother."
" Sister used to be busy, but still had time to go home, today the report division and none of you came to school, I feel like I have no family." My complaint to sister Ega until without me noticing my eyes began to glaze.
" I'm sorry, I thought Zean would represent her."
I just shook weakly.
" When will you be home, half a year is enough to calm down?"
" I don't know, you're not sure yet, you've got a lot of work to do."
" Sister just avoids me, right?"
" Then this will be our last meeting, big brother will not have to bother avoiding me anymore. I'm sorry." I took off Ega's hand and left her.
" Indhi." Call Brother Ega loudly when I'm out of his room, I don't heed Ega's call. I ran out of Ega's room, feeling so claustrophobic when someone meaningful in your life suddenly avoided you.
...Seriate.....
