My Brother's Friend

Kidney failure

"Aulia" said Bang Reza lirih, I who was responding to a message from Syafa immediately stopped my activities and approached Bang Reza.

"Yes, Bang. Aulia is here" I said, holding tightly to her hand, which now feels a little warm.

Bang Reza began to open his eyes slowly, while occasionally hissing and holding onto his left abdomen. Sweat was also pouring down on her pale face, I felt again scared and also worried.

I then pressed the button that was right on the bed that Bang Reza occupied,

"Don't it hurt?" I went back and Bang Reza nodded,

Not long after, the doctor came and then examined Bang Reza who now still looked in pain.

Ten minutes passed, Bang Reza was now back to calm and the pain he felt had begun to disappear.

"Could you please come into my room for a moment" said a tall, narrow-eyed doctor.

"Yes, Doc!" answer's short. After saying goodbye to Bang Reza, I followed the Doctor into his room.

The doctor's room is just a few meters from Bang Reza's treatment room, a room slightly smaller than Bang Reza's treatment room, it has the same floor and in the room there are medical devices and also some pictures of human organs and explanations.

"Please sit down" I immediately sat on a green chair opposite the doctor's seat.

"Alright, I will explain how Mr. Reza is currently, Mr. Reza must be operated immediately because the disease he suffered has reached a serious stage and if left unchecked it will threaten his life!" Obviously the doctor, although not yet in detail mention the name of Bang Reza disease but I already feel very scared and very worried.

The shadow of the bad things and the most severe possibility was clearly etched in my mind at this moment, I just kept quiet while holding back those tears that were about to fall. All my bones felt like they were coming out of place, making me feel very weak and about to fall.

But fortunately I soon mastered myself and then tried to find a more detailed explanation from the Doctor.

"Actually, what illness did my brother suffer from, Doc?" I continued a little brick, though,

"She had kidney failure, so she often felt cramps in her stomach as she had just experienced!" Obviously the doctor, made me want to cry again

"Then, what kind of treatment should my brother do?"

"The only way is just surgery, because all this time he's been doing treatment and in fact it only inhibits the disease and not cure it"

"How much does it cost to perform the operation?" I said I had enough money to pay for it,

"Usually very expensive, it can reach hundreds of millions!"

Like being struck by lightning in broad daylight, after hearing the word hundreds of millions, I became even more trembling and my body felt like it was about to fall, but swiftly the doctor caught me and helped me to sit back.

"I'm sorry, if my explanation makes Miss like this,"

"It's okay, Doc. Well, thanks for the explanation I'm sorry, I want to go back to my brother's room" The doctor said my words and I immediately went out of his room and returned to Bang Reza's room.

I walked towards Bang Reza's room while holding on to the wall, so that my steps would not fall before I reached my brother's room.

All the doctor's words went back to my mind, from how severe Bang Reza's illness was to how much money I had to spend on surgery.

If only I had the money mentioned by the Doctor, I would have immediately approved the operation right now, but what would it say, let alone the money for the surgery cost, please, the money to pay for school alone I'm still often late to pay.

If only a miracle had come, a kind-hearted person would have lent me money and I could have directly operated on Bang Reza, but that was only if and not real.

Inside Bang Reza's room, there's Mr. J who knows when he got here. He sat right next to Bang Reza who was talking and trying to look good.

"Aulia, you're back" said Bang Reza who turned to me who had just entered the room, Mr. J turned his head and once again he developed his sweet smile.

Bang Reza asked me to sit next to him, and I agreed. I sat next to Mr. J who this afternoon wears a short-sleeved batik shirt and also cloth pants. I can guess if she just got home from her teaching activities. He looks so handsome and handsome too.

"How, Bang. Is it better?" I asked while wiping tears that I did not know since when it began to fall.

"While it's fine, you don't have to be sad like that" Bang Reza replied as she wiped away my tears that were dripping back again and again.

"Sorry, Bang. This kind of brother is because of Aulia, because Aulia who always troubles Bang Reza and also burdens Bang Reza" I cried again, I cried,

" Don't blame yourself like that, you're not troublesome and you're not bothering you either, because you're your only brother's family and you should take care of you!"

I can no longer say anything, I can only cry and cry, for some reason these two days my tears are flowing again when I have never felt this cry before.

Mr. J who was near me, suddenly clasped my hand tightly, I was surprised and turned to him but he only smiled while nodding his head which was somehow meaningless.

Bang Reza knew it, but he was not angry or forbade it.

"Are you getting closer?" bang Reza asked suddenly, saying something that I thought was strange.

Me and Mr. J just look at each other not knowing what to answer.

"We are close, because we are teachers and students. Aye, right?" and I just nodded because I didn't know what to answer.

"Thank God, I'm calmer now because at school there's someone watching you!" again he talked about surveillance, the thing that today feels extinct is now alive again, even in unhealthy circumstances like this could-be Bang Reza is still talking about it.

But let it be, I know Bang Reza did this all because he loved me and wanted to take care of me.

"It turns out you really love your sister, huh?" Mr. J tightened his hand.

"Sure, he's the only family I have right now, I don't want anyone to hurt him in the least" Bang Reza replied and was greeted with laughter by Mr. J

"Aren't you planning on adding another family?" ask Mr. J again while staring at me who is still holding hands with him.

"Ah, why do I have to join hands like this, I don't want to cross" my mind, I don't know why I don't want to let go, the grip of the hand made me forget the sad thing.

"If you want, you can be part of my family!"

Laughter broke out between the two, but not with me, I was getting nervous and sweating because of Mr. J did not let go of his hand.
