The boy looked pale and lethargic. There is no spirit as usual. It seemed like he was indeed exhausted after a long day of playing and also school.
"Sister, are you okay?" asked Ailee to her brother who had been silent since then. Aiden looked different that night.
"I'm fine. I'll go to bed early tonight" replied Aiden weakly. He then left his study table and headed to the bed.
"Are you sick?" Ailee again asked and followed her brother who first lay on their bed.
"Just be quiet don't bother me!"
"Okay..."
Ailee went to lie down next to her brother and tried to fall asleep. I don't know how long he's been lying down but his eyes haven't been closed. While his brother had slept, but continued to whimper.
"Sister? Why is your face so pale?" Ailee screeched as she accidentally saw Aiden's paled face. He touched his twin brother's forehead just as his mother or father did when he was sick.
"You're sick!"
Aiden who had not fully fallen asleep was silent. His body shivered withstanding the pain.
"I'll call Papa and Mama, wait a minute."
The boy ran to Papa and his mother's room. Shortly after, he returned to the room with his mother and father. Aza immediately panicked to see her pale child as if there was no blood flow in her body.
"Aiden..."
"Mah..." Aiden gave a weak sweep, he still shivered.
"I will take compresses and fever-lowering drugs" Aksa said before leaving the room. Run as fast as possible because of an emergency.
"Honey, your body temperature is very high," said Aza when he saw the thermometer he had just used to measure Aiden's body temperature. High beyond normal limits. Aza was very scared, he put his hand on Aiden's chest so that the heat seeped into his body.
"This, Za! Quick stick!" exclaim Aksa offers a sheet of heat-lowering plaster for children not to forget about medicine and drinking water.
Aiden's forehead had been plastered with heat-descending plaster, half an hour passed but did not go down as well. Aiden is getting hot and pale. He also kept whimpering holding his dizzy head.
"Hubby, let's go to the hospital." asked Aza, he could not help himself anymore. The crying broke, the body temperature of the child was getting higher. He was afraid of anything if he kept quiet.
"Take Aiden, I'll get the car ready soon."
"Well, don't worry. Aiden's sister will be fine." said Ailee who was awake, but Aza ignored him he was really afraid.
And they went to the hospital and forgot to take Ailee.

"The temperature is very high, lucky he did not have a seizure" said the doctor who handled Aiden.
"Yes, Doc. Is he okay now? There's nothing to worry about anymore, is there?" ask Aksa.
"No, children his age do often experience high heat, headaches, nausea, and vomiting. No need to worry, he was just exhausted" replied the Doctor.
"Thank God then..." Aksa can breathe a sigh of relief but not with Aza. The woman was still sad to see her son lying with an infusion hose in his hand.
"Heat like this can last up to a week, but hopefully Aiden's body temperature will soon improve in the next two or three days. Excuse me first." said the doctor then left the treatment room with his assistant.
Aza sat beside Aiden's gurney, her hands constantly stroking her son's pale face. Her heart was sliced at seeing her fruit like that. He could not see her lying weak. If the pain can move, then he chooses for himself who feels pain, not his son.
"Cepet healed dear." said Aza while landing a kiss on his son's forehead.
"Astaughfirefullah! We're leaving Ailee!" peekik Aksa's. He realizes that Ailee is not with them.
Aksa immediately opened her phone and told Mama and her Papa to look after Ailee. Ah, she really didn't expect to forget Ailee just like that. The child must be sad because it has been neglected.
*****
The morning was different, he did not find his twin brother. There were only Oma Aira and Opa Keno accompanying him since last night. My mom and dad did not return from the hospital.
"Come here, honey, Oma will tie your hair," said Aira told her granddaughter to sit on her lap so that she could more easily tie Ailee's hair.
"Oma, haven't Papa and Mama come home from last night? Is Aiden okay?" ask Ailee grimly. This is the first time he is not with Papa, Mama, and his brother.
"Not yet darling. Aiden's sister had to be hospitalized, so Papa and Mama accompanied him there."
"And they forgot me, Oma."
"Not forgetting. So look, in the hospital it's a lot of germs that Ailee to get there can be a rich sick follow Aiden. Well, therefore Papa and Mama do not reach out to you," said Aira at length reassured his grandson.
"Hm..."
"Later to go home Oma who picked up, baby, don't go anywhere if Oma hasn't arrived."
"Ready, Oma."
Talking about his speech had a point, but he was still sad and still not excited.
*****
The smell of the hospital was strong. Aksa and Aza just woke up, they fell asleep an hour ago. Aiden's body temperature has not dropped, Aza back sad.
"Hello, Boy! Get better soon, Papa will be home for a while. I will see you again" said Aksa. He dipped his limp child in the gurney before leaving the treatment room.
"Heart on the road, Pah.." said Aiden weakly. His head hurt a lot, his throat was stuck. His face was still pale, there had been no change from last night.
"Now eat first yes, later take medicine from Uncle Doctor." Aza took the food that was available, and then fed it to Aiden.
"Not good." complained Aiden, he immediately asked for water.
"His son, let's take some more bribes" persuaded Aza.
Aiden shook his head weakly, he covered his mouth with his hands blocking the food that his mother was about to feed.
"Then just drink the milk let your stomach fill?"
Aiden continued to force himself so that he could gulp down a glass of milk. Somehow he felt full even though only a quarter of a glass.
Hoekk...
"Aiden!" Aza panicked because Aiden was vomiting. He let Aiden vomit on the blanket, not having time to take the container first.
The boy immediately poured down his body after the dirty blanket was moved by his mother. His body's getting limp.
"What before vomiting has taken the medicine?" ask the doctor to enter the treatment room. He was about to check on Aiden's condition that morning.
"Just finished eating, hasn't taken her medicine but she's vomiting, Doc."
"It's okay, this is natural because his body is in a bad state. May today come down even if it's just a little."
"Hopefully, Doc."
