Longing Curtain
Episode 24
"I was so busy thinking about it that I forgot the person who was always there when I needed it"
.
My alarm rang, sunlight coming into my window. But I was still faithful in my blanket, somehow I was lazy to wake up.
My alarm rings back, I still lie down faithfully. Never looked at the clock. My head feels heavy making me reluctant to move.
"Dad! Why not wake up? It will be late"
The voice immediately echoed but I was still in a position without moving in the slightest. I felt cold for a long time. There was a vibration in the bed that meant Fahmi was near me.
"Deck "
Calling him again, he flicked my blanket, yet I still faithfully curled up and held my hand. Slowly the hand touched my forehead.
"Oh Allah, deck, your body is hot, we go to the doctor? "ask.
"I'm not papa, just dizzy,"
I said, taking a sitting position and stepping into the bathroom.
I walked aimlessly, the pain in my head controlling me. Damn it I tripped my own feet making me fall to the floor. Soon, Fahmi helped me get back to bed.
"Dek if you are sick, mending do not need to go to campus first let the brother who ngijinin," said brother Fahmi enveloped me.
"I'm not papa sis, I'm not sick "I'm shaking.
"The evidence almost fell if there was anything? "said Brother Fahmi.
"Rest at home, get well. Brother left first, "he said and left me.
I also continued sleeping on my bed.
***
The sun begins to rise, adding to the heat that reaches the earth. I was still lying on the bed curled up under the blanket. Earlier in the morning the mother has given a heat-lowering drug although until now it has not come down as well.
A wash of sweat soaked my clothes, sticky all over my body. But I can't take a shower first, afraid it'll get hotter. So I just washed my face and stayed in the shade of my thick blanket.
Tok tok tok tok
The sound of someone knocking on the door bothered me a little. I want to open the door but my feet can't compromise.
"Honey there is your friend, " said my mother
"Tell me in, Bund, "I replied in a hoarse voice.
Slowly the door opened but I refused to open my eyes. There was a vibration there must be someone sitting next to me.
"Zahra how are you? " that distinctive voice was like I had ever known her, I opened my eyes.
"Siska? Do you know where I'm sick? " many
"From Fahmi's sister earlier, "I just nodded my ass, while her outstretched hand touched my forehead.
"Hot Ra, have you taken your medicine? Have eaten? " tanyanya
"Well, "I smiled
"I didn't think Fahmi's brother was your brother, it's good, cool, pinter well, dream deh, " said Siska.
"Tumben said what's wrong with Fahmi?" my many.
"So he bought me a meal, "siska said.
"You likey? "tanyaku.
"But heart, big brother Fahmi playboy," I said half a whisper. Siska rounded her eyes.
"What the hell is the deck, do not be horrified said Zahra ya Sis, ngaco him"
That voice made me and Siska look over. His face looks sour. With a tray of drinks and porridge slowly approaching, just look at it I've been nauseous let alone eat it.
"Eat first gih, the cold hunt of the porridge," said brother Fahmi holding the porridge.
"I don't want you, I want to feel nauseous when I see that" I said pointing to the porridge.
"You have to eat if not how to be healthy, " said Brother Fahmi.
"I don't want my brother, "disput me.
"You are not a child anymore, you should not be told to eat and eat! Rich behavior son tk, "he said snapping at me, I don't want to lose using Siska for bait material.
"Siska look at big brother, you said big brother but earlier he yelled at me, I'm afraid," I said whining like a child. Fahmi's sister just kept quiet, probably afraid that I'd throw it at Siska.
"And he snapped it also for your good ra, he snapped does not mean no dear, but he cares about you. Now eat yes, mama bribe, "said Siska. Why even defend Fahmi anyway? Ah, failed my efforts and there brother Fahmi smiled happily because in bela Siska. I was wrong target.
Siska took a bowl of porridge from Fahmi's hands. Seen Fahmi's hands vibrate, must be tense adjacent to Siska. Ah, brother is still embarrassed!
"The plane is going to slide aa ... " He floated a spoon like an airplane and pointed it at me.
"I'm not a child anymore sis, don't need to be called times, "I said.
He was even more reckless.I see Fahmi brother from earlier saw the face of Siska ayu, this is a chance I will work on it.
As the spoon began to approach I immediately held Siska's hand with a quick movement I pointed to Fahmi's mouth, spontaneously he opened his mouth. I laughed at my plan to succeed that porridge had gone into Fahmi's mouth they just stared unblinkingly maybe nervous about the incident just now.
"Enak kak porridge? "ujarku tease.
They were just as averted, Siska's red cheeks must be ashamed of her. And Fahmi's sister looked at me sharply, but she was very happy.
"What should you eat, why even a sister? "said.
"Sorry, brother, it was wrong to bribe it should be Zahra who ate, and even the sister who ate, "siska said embarrassed.
"No papa, I happen to be hungry too" said Fahmi.
"Alah said that twilight would be bribed with pujaa- "my words were cut because suddenly he smothered my mouth.
"No need to stop talking, now eat! "ordain.
"No, my brother, baby, "my mouth is soft.
"You eat Ra, let the spit be healed" said Siska who impressed forced a child who has difficulty eating.
"Not want Siska beautiful, "I said.
"Do I need to call Brother Sharif to eat? " siska's words startled me, out of nowhere Siska knew that name when I only told one person, Laila.
I changed my sitting position to lie down and covered my body with a blanket, which was nothing but I just remembered what he said the other day.
"Zahra why are you? Am I wrong? "ask Siska. I'm just shaking.
I felt the vibration was missing the sound of footsteps and the door squeaks proved that the two men had left the room. I'm just shaking.
It was nothing that I remembered the incident when Siska mentioned that name. Accidents, insults, sent messages are still hard to lose from my memory. Moreover, I rarely go to the study now, and sometimes meet with Bela's sister.
Although I covered my body with a blanket, but these eyes were still not closed. I force you to forget everything.
Until this moment Hamzah has not visited me do not know or do not want to know? Why expect the mercy of people.
