My boyfriend's a Vampire
Episode 115: Can Walk Back
Ryan opened the drawers inside his 3-meter-long large closet and towered up to the ceiling of the room, looking for something. Mas Andi, the male nurse sat on the floor while folding and tidying up Ryan's clothes.
“Master find what? Can I help you?”
“Find airplane toys that use remote control. Mas Andi definitely will not know.”
“Tok..Tok..Tok.
The sound of knocking on the door made the two turn towards the direction the sound came from.
“Try to open,Mas.”
“Kreek..”.
The sound of the door opening, Mas Andi let out his head and looked left and right, not a single person passing by the door. Mas Pri's fur was goosebumps, his knees were trembling, the large room in front of the room was very quiet, the arts lived in the back of the house which was very far away and bounded by the yard.
“Who is it?”
“Nobody,Master.”
Papa's house is very spacious and many trees do look spooky at nightfall because the art prefers to gather at the back of the house rather than in the yard.
“It's still morning. Horror time,”gumam Ryan who increasingly curious.
“Mas just this time you live in this big house,” said Mas Budi while continuing his work tidying up clothes and putting them back in the closet.
Ryan watched as the nurse stuffed her stack of clothes into the closet. He was grateful to get a nurse who was diligent and willing to help him tidy up clothes that should not be his obligation.
“Mas..Help push wheelchair into backyard yuk!”pinta Ryan when he saw Mas Budi had finished his work.
The nurse stood up, closed the closet and obeyed her master's wishes. The nurse pushed the wheelchair through every corner of the room that seemed uninhabited. Om Robert usually runs around the morning yard of his spacious house, while the art is busy with their respective activities, and Pak Ujang must be busy cleaning the car in the garage. The driver of the family has served Ryan's parents for decades, he occupies a rented house in a residential area located behind Om Robert's house so that it can be called at any time. Pak Ujang is quite on foot to reach his employer's house even though he now has a livable house and a motorcycle. Three of his children can taste the best education even his eldest son has studied at a state college and majored in education to realize his goals as an educator.
“Where are we,Master?”
“Ke page. Ryan wants to breathe morning air.”
“Alright,Master.”
They walked down a hallway connecting the house with the outside facing a large garden filled with rocks and a waterfall accompanied by an elongated fish pond, there was a small bridge on top. One of Ryan's favorite places as a child is to play around the park with his caregiver to feed the koi fish that are large and in the tens. Around the park are a variety of rather large trees whose leaves are formed by various animals so that they resemble a playground. In the backyard is a tennis court and basketball court where Ryan often spent time there when he started as a teenager. No wonder Ryan eventually grew up to be a good basketball captain. In the backyard there is also a private swimming pool whose water is always clear where he used to release fatigue there. Sometimes some of his close friends as a child invited to swim together and make a barbeque event after that.
“Ah...Many memories Ryan in this house,” his mummy while looking at the area around the pool where they used to joke with each other and laugh loosely without the burden of life.
Mas Andi pushed the wheelchair even further, onto a vast expanse of meadow with 18 holes, a golf course owned by papa overlooking an artificial lake. This is where the nanny often brought him here with some of his art when little Ryan had trouble eating. They would bring a stroller and put little Ryan sitting there and bribe him in turn. Understand little Ryan is a boy who was bored, when his mood was happy to eat his appetite was increased, and vice versa. So some of the art must make a kind of game that makes little Ryan laugh happily and want to open his mouth. Ryan laughed reminiscing about it because the father often made it as a daily trick, especially when he was a teenager.
“That's no Sir,”seru Mas Andi while pointing at Om Robert who ran from a distance.
Ryan called his papa who then came over and took him around. Mas Andi tried to get Ryan up from his wheelchair, the man lifted his legs that still felt weak. The movement of both legs to walk, still feels a little pain in the legs when the leg muscles must support the body load.
“But you have to keep practicing. Let your leg muscles back strong.”
“Do not wear footwear. Let your feet be trained when stepping on small rocks,”saran Mas Andi while holding both arms of Ryan from behind so as not to fall.
“Try to let him walk alone,”pinta papa while encouraging his beloved son.
As Andi slowly let go of his hand, Ryan learned to walk exactly as he did at the age of 1.
“Ups..”
The guy makes a balance so as not to fall on the grass, his body slightly shrewd when both feet tread to walk.
“Ya...good! Keep walking here,” said the father encouragingly.
“Yey! I can finally walk again, ”, Ryan cheered.
The handsome guy was very happy when he could walk back, his eyes were teary because they were so moved. Although both legs feel unbalanced, as if one leg feels shorter than the other. For this reason, he had to undergo physiotherapy so that both legs returned as usual.
“Well..Let's not be too tired. You can use your wheelchair again, ” papa said with a laugh.
Following Ryan's back, the middle-aged man pushed him back to his room on the first floor.
When going to the front yard, Ryan's gaze was glued to a handyman who was reflecting on the wall bordering his room.
“What is it,Pa?’
“Oh..It's a handyman to paint the front of our house,”sahut papa.
“The message was there was a sound like people knocking on the door. But when it opened there was no one at all, ” said Ryan who was greeted with the laughter of the father and his nurse.
“So you guys think this house is haunted?”ask the papa who stopped pushing.
Now the three stopped right behind the handyman who was busy working.
“Old paint must be exfoliated first so it must be cut,”, papa said.
Mas Andi took a deep breath, his lips turned to a smile. The nurse seemed to feel calm after getting the truth about the origin of the sound like a knock on the door. Understand Om Robert's house is very large and consists of many rooms, making the new nurse had to think hard to memorize it.
“Oh yes..Papa has got a new house for you in Solo and Jogja,”, papa said while pushing a wheelchair into the house area.
“Oh yes? There are photos of his house,Pa?”
“There..Later papa show you.You can choose between Jogja or Solo.”
“Hmm choose where yes?”ryan was confused.
