LIVING FOR THE SECOND TIME

6. looking for a cure for the mother

"iya buk, nisa plans to plant chillies or other vegetable crops. Than later the land is idle, mending nisa take advantage.” replied nisa, without taking her eyes off her notebook. Nita's mother chuckled at her words, she could not believe, her little daughter would have such an initiative.

“why mom laughs, is nisa saying something wrong bu..?” Nisa asked in astonishment.

“no.. I did not expect, if this mother's little daughter will have such an initiative.” said buk nita. Nisa smile.

“ya, ngak papa lah ma'am, count filling free time. Oh yes mom, mom there is no chilli seedlings.?” Nisa asked enthusiastically.

Nita thought for a moment. Nita's mother did not know at all, that this child had received bad treatment from her schoolmates until she finally fainted.

“mm mom is there, but it is not a superior seed, but rather a chili seed that you buy in the market just son. I thought about planting chilies in the fields too, but I haven't had time. That's why I kept it. If nisa wants to wear can also.” said buk nita with full affection.

while the father, chose to sleep first because he was tired. It still shows at half-time 8pm. Nita mother went into the kitchen and took the chili seeds that she stored.

“ini, just plant...” Buk nita pasrah. Even though he was not sure of his daughter's words, but he still chose to believe it, counting, he learned how difficult it is to scavenge the land for rupiah, and hope his son can succeed by studying more.

“thank buk..” said nisa.

“sama-sama.”

“oh ya buk, mmm tomorrow nisa already has no pocket money, do you have money.?” Nisa asked shyly.

He never thought he would tell his mother that. He is an adult who can support himself. But how else, he must be more active, so as not to ask for money again to his father and mother.

“of course mom has. But as always, maybe not much nak..” said mother nita. Nita's mother was actually a little surprised, hearing nisa asking for money with a timid look on her face. But he immediately brushed off that thought.

Nita's mother went into the room and took 5 k. because that's all there is. After that, my mother came out.

“ this snack for tomorrow. “ said ib nita while giving it to nisa.

“thank you buk..” said nisa. actually she wants to cry to see how sad her life is now, but want how else, just accept what is. Later if you already have a cellphone or electro media, he will withdraw his money back from his claim.

soon, nisa's job is done. He and his mother also chose to immediately rest, following the father who had been graceful in the dreamland. After her mother entered the room. Nisa chose to soak the seedlings first with water. After that, he returned to his room and fell asleep.

Not felt, two weeks already playing the role of Nisa, and she began to get used to her daily life. This afternoon after returning home, he returned to see his garden, and very impressively, his cabbages grew well, nisa gave him compost or homemade fertilizer, he said, to support the growth and development of the chili plant.

he chose to plant 20 red chili and cebe rawit 8 stems, he formed the arrangement in such a way, to be attractive in the eyes. It seems, he also mastered the way of farming well.

He also, not only takes care of his plants, while caring for him, he also returns to clean other yards beside his house so that it can be planted with other plants. The nisa plan will grow a variety of vegetables that can be grown in this hot climate.

In addition to farming, nisa also began to hone her concocting skills so as not to lose her memory. He began to think of concocting fish catchers, so that he did not always eat vegetables and sugar. He began to collect herbal ingredients that he found one by one.

That afternoon, many mothers passed by after returning from their fields, coincidentally nisa's house was not in the middle of the village, her house was on the outskirts of the village, although on the outskirts, but not deserted, his house is still in the village environment.the mothers, began to greet nisa who was making patterns to plant the plants later. Some praised, some scorned.

“aduh.. diligent once son. This hot day should not be forced to work, it will hurt.” Said one of the mothers passing by his entourage. Nisa responded with a smile.

“iya buk..” is just that response. Not long after, mother nita also came home after being wild. However, her mother returned early. Nisa was quite surprised to see that, usually her father and mother will go home when the sun has set.

Nisa saw nita's mother curled up pressing on her stomach area. Meanwhile, buk nita has not taken off the basket hanging on his back. Nisa walked over, and took off the basket, and then she clashed.

“ibu why ? stomachache. ?” Nisa asked and was nodding her head back by her mother. This sick mother is unable to get her voice out. Nita's mother also asked nisa for help to be delivered to the bathroom.

“nis..please deliver mother to the bathroom nak...” the voice of nita's mother asks nisa for help.

nisa quickly helps her mother to the bathroom, until she does not leave it. It began to sound from his mother's mouth groaning in pain as a result of enduring the tremendous pain.

While nisa, from the look on her mother's face, nisa already knows what pain her mother is experiencing. After that, Nisa helped clean her mother's body and changed her clothes, and also spread the carpet in the living room for her mother's resting place.

After helping her mother rest, Nisa slightly held her mother's wrist checking her pulse. And yes, his mother was sick with dysentery.

This dysentery is a pain caused by bacteria or parasites, causing dampening and infection of the intestine, which can cause diarrhea that contains blood or mucus when defecating.

“buk, the mother had a bowel movement there is blood or mucus-mucus that ngak buk.?” Nisa asked her mother.

“iya son..ada..” replied nita's mother softly because she did not have energy, not yet she was holding pain in her stomach area.

“mmm. Mom, look for a cure for mom first. No papa nisa leave buk.?” Ask nisa.

his mother shook her head as she did not mind living alone. But still, a child's heart is not willing to leave his mother alone, what else is in this sick condition. But what can be done, he must find a cure in the forest that is not far from the residential area.

Nisa provides drinking and other things beside her mother, so that her mother does not have to walk far to take it. Before he left, there happened to be a cousin of his coming home, namely, menti.

“coincidentally men you here. I'll leave mom for a minute, yeah, I want to go find a cure for mom, mom is sick.” Nisa. menti was surprised.

“apa..!! mom's sick. What pain does sis.?” Tanya menti went straight in to see her aunt.

“moms are sick with dysentry, so have to look for herbal remedies in the forest. Brother will find first, menti please take care of mom for a while yes.” he said again.

“yah sis, brother go let me take care of aunt.” he said. nisa also went straight to the forest. He got some herbal ingredients he was looking for. After that, he immediately returned home. Arriving at home, menti is no longer alone. There was a father accompanying him.

Flas back's.

“assalammualaikum.” says pak juna.

“waalaikum salam pak” said menti from inside the house, who always stroked his aunt's stomach to reduce the pain.

“ibu why son..? where's your sister..?”” Juna asked quite surprised and panicked.

“aunti is sick sir, and sister is in a forest looking for a cure for mom. Said aunt got dysentery.” Say menti with hands that are still faithfully stroking his aunt's stomach.
