LIKE I CAN'T SEE

BAG 15 JESSY'S SICK

I bowed and fell silent. Why did that guy put it off again? What's the reason for him? Is it shame to have helped someone like me?

"Don't think of Jo, maybe he has his own reasons for not telling who he is. I hope you can accept and wait patiently" he said.

Because I did not get the information I wanted, I went home. Riding my bike back home.

At exactly half-time two in the afternoon. I parked my bike in front of the house. I looked at the roof of the house that was slightly tilted to the side. Then I took a breath.

Eating everyday is no longer confusing. Because my mom always brought food from Jessy's house. Therefore, the results of my efforts to find tutut now I can save and money to improve the house someday.

Evening day arrived.

As usual, my mom came home from Jessy's house and I came home from looking for a tutelage. "It's Mak's drink! O yes Mak, is there no news about Jessy?", I asked suddenly to remember the little girl.

"No kid, but Mom used to hear Jessy calling her mom".

"Did Jessy forget about me, Mom? Why didn't he tell me?".

"Sorry Jo, it seems you should forget Jessy" said the mother who surprised me.

"Why Mak? What's the reason Mom forbade me from being friends with her again?".

"Not Mom forbid, but anyway she is now the mother's master's child. Do not let papa and his new mama know that you are friends with him", mother reminded like having a hunch.

"Yes Mak. Jovan. Must be because Mom's shy, right?", running outside the house.

"Jo, it's not like that. Mom Mean...".

Jo, forgive Mom. Not because I was ashamed. But Mom's just afraid they'll make it harder for Jessy to come home to visit her mom. Poor Miss Eva...

For several months working at Jessy's house, I heard a lot of complaints about Miss Eva, Jessy's mom. As a mother must feel pain when kept away from her own biological children.

Seeing her son having to live with a stepmother. Although the wife of her ex-husband is his own sister but the affection of a biological mother and stepmother can never be the same.

Moreover, all these decisions were only one-sided from Jessy's father. Not by Jessy's own will. How her mother wouldn't worry and kept thinking about Jessy.

Slowly Mom explained to Jovan her true intentions. The misunderstanding between the two ends. And Jovan wants to understand what her mom means.

"Sorry Mak, Jovan has been thinking and accusing the mother of no-no. Jovan didn't think about Mom Jessy's feelings" Jovan said.

Morning time.

Like the usual days Jovan went to school by pedaling his bike. In the middle of A road he meets Dodi and goes to school together.

"Jo, how are you preparing? You ready, right?", asked Dodi.

Today is a basketball game with class A. That means Jovan's class is up against Bagas' class and his gang.

"Ready, we'll win!".

"But Jo, our opponent is not reckless. Bagas and his gang!".

"Don't be afraid, don't let our mental down first".

"All right, I'll just come with you. Wouldn't the effort not betray the results, would it?", said Dodi.

Jovan smiles. For Jovan losing wins is common. Bagas and his friends will continue to humble him. So it is better to mentally prepare to face them.

Mom's busy here and there sweeping and mopping the floor. Likewise with other ART that works according to their respective parts.

"I saw Miss Eva crying again. Looks like he misses Non Beautiful" said one gardener.

"Some days this too Miss Eva just ate a little. And just eat inside", ART said.

"Yes, of course, his son's mind must be, Non Beautiful is reportedly sick there. And his new mom doesn't necessarily want to take care of him", said another.

They kept gossiping about their employers. Mother as a complement only who always listen faithfully.

In London.

London is the capital of the United Kingdom and the United Kingdom, the largest metropolitan area in the United Kingdom. Located along the River Thames, London has been a major settlement for two millennia since it was founded by the Romans in the 1st century under the name Londinium.

London is winter. Almost all of Europe is decorated with snow. The land feels very cold and frozen. In this season, temperatures can reach below freezing.

It is very different from Indonesia where there is no winter. These weather changes have an impact on Jessy's health. It's been two days that Jessy has a fever.

For two days he could not go to school. This makes his mother increasingly worried about the conditions in his son.

If he had gotten custody of it, he would have been so happy living with Jessy. Things out of his mind the judge's decision turned out to decide custody fell on her ex-husband. Decisions that make it hard but must still accept.

"Uhuk-uhuk", Jessy kept coughing and shivering. Sometimes delirious to call his mother's name.

"Ma, Mama Jessy misses Mama" she said.

Makes her stepmom feel hot ears. "Based on the ungrateful child, it's still a good thing I brought you here to live with us. But whatever I do is always in vain" his grunts.

"What's Jessy's condition?" asked her husband, who had suddenly come from work.

"Darling, you've come home. Jessy was still feverish and kept calling her mother's name. I'm upset. Sit down first to drink tea after that you just look into his room" said stepmom Jessy.

"Try harder. And you will have his heart. Patience is dear" said papa Jessy while stroking her new wife's hair.

"Mas, but I've been taking care of it for months. She doesn't think of me yet" she said spoiled as she clung to her husband's arm.

"Lajar, he's still a kid. Gradually you can definitely win her heart", her husband's reply was encouraging.

Stepmom Jessy smiles happily. Her husband kept encouraging her not to give up. Then she drove her husband to the room to see Jessy lying weakly on the bed.

"Has his body temperature checked?", asked his father while holding his son's forehead.

"Last time 37 Mas".

"Try checking again. It was very hot" her husband said. And he went to get a body temperature gauge.

Her husband took over the measuring device. And put it on his son's armpit. "Jeez, 39.4 degrees centigrade. We need to get Jessy to the hospital".

"But Mas".

"Don't but-but. Prepare car. I'll hold Jessy" he said.

Her father immediately carried Jessy into the car. Take him to the hospital immediately. So Jessy gets help quickly.
