My Prayer is Different from Yours

Chapter 31

Along the way Mila's mother never stopped crying, she hugged her daughter so tightly.

"Wake up son!" Mila's mother said in her heart, she could not bear to see Mitha who was helpless plus her fever that did not go down and down.

"Don't cry mah, we'll be there soon." Mr. Haris tried to calm his wife who had been crying all the way.

arriving at the health center, Mitha was immediately treated by a doctor and taken to the ER room to get treatment. Mr. Haris and Mila's mother could only wait outside and occasionally look inside Mitha's room in the care. Mitha who was unconscious made her parents so worried.

"Sir.ibu.kid mother after we checked it was exposed to typhoid. So, must be treated incentive at the puskesmas." Mila's mother limp in hearing that Mitha was convicted of typhoid.

"How is my son doc. She's okay, right?" Ask Mr. Haris who is just as worried about his wife.

"Thank God he is conscious. It's just that we have to wait for the next result." Mr. Haris and Mila's mother could breathe a sigh of relief hearing that Mitha was fine.

Meanwhile Andra was seen standing in front of the gate. It was as if he was waiting for someone.

"Mitha where the hell is!" He said while looking at his watch which had shown at 07:30 but Mitha was not visible from the children who had arrived from earlier.

"You haven't come in yet." Dirga.

"You go to class first. I have a little business." Andra looked left and right. But, Mitha was still invisible.

"Frost..kring.kring.." The sound of the school bell, Andra was increasingly worried because it was not usual Mitha would be late to come to school.

"Come on Andra, we'll be testing soon." Said Dirga while pulling Andra's hand. He can't do anything about it because the first day of the exam for his graduation in High School.

Every now and then Andra looked back and thought Mitha would appear from behind the gate. His mind was muddled, he became afraid that something might happen to Mitha. Andra this time could not do anything, if it was not the first day of the exam maybe he had missed school.

During the test Andra seemed unfocused, although he tried hard to remove Mitha from his mind but still his mind was fixed on Mitha. Andra only hoped that Mitha would be in her class.

****************

Rial also seemed to still think with Mitha, all night he thought of Mitha. He hoped that Mitha would not be treated badly by Andra who was notoriously naughty at her old school.

"Our dial is ready." Erna suddenly appeared behind the door of her room. Erna seems to be getting closer to Rial after Rial one school with her.

"Why are you here?" Ask here, although Rial is increasingly showing his dislike for Erna. But, Erna did not care at all. Erna hoped that one day Rial would definitely be nice to her.

"We why the hell, it's always weird. What's my fault?" Erna asked but Rial did not care at all. He passed away from Erna and immediately said goodbye to his parents.

"You're leaving already." Say Nia's mom while tidying up Rial's tie. He was very happy when Rial had already lived with him now.

"Yes Aunt." Erna smiled sweetly. Erna's smile makes Rial sick.

"Be careful on the road. We're leaving with Rial, right?" Ask Nia's mother. It feels like Rial refused but his intention was stifled when his father was nearby. Rial was so afraid of Mr. Arif who was very firm in his stance.

"You're leaving now." Said Mr. Arif, he was the most excited to match Rial with Erna.

Erna and Rial also leave together to school, Erna who every day picks up Rial at her home hoping that Rial will be devastated by her struggle. Along the way to school Rial never stopped thinking about Mitha, he did not care about Erna who was sitting next to him. Her cold attitude made Erna upset.

Andra ran out of the classroom when the bell rang, she hurried to Mitha's class. He wanted to make sure if Mitha went to school knew not. Andra looked around the classroom but she did not see the figure she was looking for

Andra tried to ask Mitha's classmates but, none of them knew Mitha's whereabouts or why she didn't go to school.

"I don't know brother. There was no submission from Mitha." Andra was getting more worried, wanting to feel like she was looking for Mitha but still remaining the test she had to take.

"Well, tomorrow we go to Mitha's school. Just tell his teacher about Mitha's current condition." Said Mila's mother. This time Mr. Haris agreed with his wife, he also did not want to leave his mother alone with Mitha alone.

"It must have been because of yesterday's rain." Said Mila's mother who was also upset with Andra.

"Yes mah. I hope Mitha isn't okay." Said Mr. Haris expectantly. He was actually already impatient to meet Andra but he had to hold on for a moment.

"Papah to Siti's mother's stall just to pick up Mitha's motorbike." Mila's mother said to remind Mr. Haris from earlier emotions

"Yes mah, if Mitha had realized the papah stone went away. Not far from here anyway." Said Mr. Haris

Mitha tried to open her eyes, she saw both her parents beside her. His body was still sick and still hot, his head was dizzy yet he tried to get out of bed. Mitha did not want to make both her parents worry more about her.

"We're awake, son!" Mila's mother smiled, she could already smile seeing Mitha open her eyes.

"Yes mah. You don't have to worry, Mitha is fine!" Holding his head which still hurts.

"Good then, you lie down. Can't move too much first." While helping Mitha to lie down again.

"Well, come out for a second, boy!" Sir should hold Mitha's hand that was still shaking and kiss her daughter's forehead. Mitha who looked limp tried to smile at her father.

"I went to Siti's mother's shop, who knows Siti's mother knows what happened here." Andra's guman in the heart.

Andra was immediately to the shop of Siti's mother as well as Mr. Haris to take the Mitha motorbike he mortgaged yesterday because he had to pay for food Andra and also his friends.

"Excuse me ma'am, I'd like to ask if yesterday there was a motorcycle that my son mortgaged." Said sir hariis approaching Siti's mother who looks to be serving buyers.

ibu Siti immediately took the key of the motorcycle hanging from the pole and gave it to Mr. Haris.

"This is me to redeem." Said Mr. Haris while giving a hundred thousand dollars.

suddenly Andra approached Siti's mother, she did not know that the man next to her was Mitha's father.

"what's the matter andra.what do you want?" Ask Siti's mother Haris who had left them stopped when she heard Andra's name in her ear.

mr. Haris Lali pulled Andra's hand out of Siti's mother's stall.

"Whose father?" Ask Andra.

"You are Andra. Because of you my son is sick and must be treated at the puskesmas." Said Mr. Haris who made Andra shocked not play.

He knew Mitha was sick because of her.

"Mitha's sick what?" Asked Andra who looked so worried.

"Mitha has a high fever and this is all because of you. He had to pawn his bike to pay for our food yesterday so he had to walk home in the rain." Mr. Haris left Andra alone and took Mitha's motorbike.

Andra was still silent, she did not realize that Mr. Haris had left earlier.

LOOK FORWARD TO NEXT
