Last Ramadan for Nayla
Nayla Sick
The next morning Nayla was suddenly hot, her body was also shivering with cold, from outside the room Tina kept calling telling her to open the door.
"Nay, open the door Nay!" tina from the outside.
"What's up, brother?" nayla asked, she has not gotten out of bed.
"Breakfast first yuk!" take Tina.
"Later on, I'll have breakfast first!" nayla said, he could not get up and walk open the door because his head was also dizzy.
"When that's the food, I bring it here!" Tina asked for her consent.
"No need, I can take it myself later," replied Nayla, her voice so raucous as it spoke out loud in order to be heard by Tina who was outside her room.
Nayla again picked up the blanket and covered her increasingly cold body, her lips trembling as well. By then she had not heard her sister's voice anymore, perhaps Tina had already left and resumed her breakfast.
"He's up Tin?" ask Sinta.
"It's my mother, but she says she doesn't want breakfast yet" replied Tina. Ms. Amel who heard their conversation immediately answered her cynically. "Here, at the turn of the caper, let alone ara if it is hungry he will also come alone to beg for food here." Said Amel's mom.
Sinta did not like to hear the words of Amel, wanting to reprimand the woman was clearly impossible, so she could only be quiet.
In contrast to Tina she did not like to harbor her sense of regret, so she directly commented on her mother's speech.
"Mama, if you talk it should also be considered good for bad ma, nayla is a child mama where there is a word to beg for food, it is the obligation of mama and papa to support their children." Tina said, she then saw the face of her mother who turned out there was no response at all, thankfully there was no papa because the papa had gone first.
"Tina said too much, look, I've even finished breakfast before." David who had just been silent now spoke up.
"the hunt! It's almost seven o'clock we're late!" David told her to finish breakfast immediately.
"You go with the same mom, you also want to nganterin mother Sinta," said Amel.

Nayla opened the window of her room so that the air from outside could enter easily, Nayla was sitting limp on her bed, she looked at her hand as she said "What can I do with such small hands?" the boy then cried again, if he said strong yes he was very strong, especially for a child his age, he did everything himself.
The house is just a place to shelter not a place to seek warmth from a family, family is just a word without meaning in his life, he is very lonely and longs for the affection of his mother.
Although her body was very weak at that time, but Nayla still had to get up and get out of her room, she was already hungry, it was already noon.
No more food, only rice that was not eaten by his family was left, without thinking Nayla took a plate that still had leftovers and then ate it. There was no more disgust, he had gotten used to it during his stay with his parents.

SINTA RESIDENCE
"Sir, can I ask you something?" ask Sinta to Amel's mom.
"What about?" amel's mom is back.
"It's about Nayla mbak." He replied carefully, he was afraid of making Amel's mother offended again.
"Ask me." Ms. Amel still looks relaxed while continuing to flip through the pages of the book she reads.
"If Nayla stays with me can't I.?"
Degs....
"Did I hear this wrong?" she asked, unsure of what she had heard.
"Can't Nayla stay with me?" Sinta repeated her question.
"Your mouth is a ngaco!"
"I'm serious mbak, take it the same mas Arman does not want to send him to school, so let Nayla stay with me and I who will bear all the costs of his life," said Sinta seriously.
"You express your own desires the same as Arman, you see he will agree or not" said Amel.
"I'm the same mbak, I'm asking him to mas Arman?" said Sinta annoyed.
"If I agree with myself, there is no harm, right? But you have to accept freely if later mas Arman will rarely come back here." Said Amel.
"Whatever happens I will still bring Nayla to stay here!" sinta stressed, the woman did not care if her husband would rarely visit her and Rio, or even did not want to set foot in the house again, she did not care.
"As far as you are, don't just remind me," he concluded later.
\*\*\*\*\*
"He has a fever" said Tina, looking worried.
"The body is so hot Tin, the face is also getting pale." David was no less worried.
Nayla was aware of the panic of her two brothers, but she was speechless, her body was really weak, it felt stiff hard to move.
"Have you eaten this morning?" ask Tina.
"Eat," answered Nayla briefly, her voice rattling. Tina immediately went to the kitchen she wanted to see if her mother left food for Nayla or not.
"No more food," muttered Tina, she then looked at the small trash bin placed beside the kitchen entrance, and it turned out that she had thrown all the food there this morning,all that was left was the food on the dirty dishes.
"Is it possible that Nayla ate the food here?" inner Tina, she immediately returned to her sister's room.
"No more food in the kitchen, all have been thrown away mama, which is just leftovers in dirty dishes what is that food that you eat?" tina asked she was sad and angry at that moment.
"Yes" answered Nayla honestly, it was too difficult to find the right words to be able to lie to her brother.
Hearing Nayla's reply made David and Tina unable to stem her tears, they cried because they felt they had forgotten her sister.
"Have not cried anymore, Nayla is not eating stale food, just eat your leftovers this morning, why should we cry? Nor will Nayla die instantly by eating that food." Said Nayla, she did not want to make her two brothers sad because of her.
"I'm sorry we are Nay, we are negligent in taking care of you" David said regretfully.
"I'm not okay, sister."
"Later after we buy the medicine, I'll buy you whatever food you want" Tina promised.
"You call my mother Tin, if you call my mother and tell her to take Nayla to the hospital, of course you won't." David said, without being told twice Tina directly called Sinta to ask for help from the woman to take Nayla to the hospital.
Nayla felt very happy because she received sincere attention from her brothers, just try if her mother also cares for her she will definitely be happier again.
