A week after the incident, Arista will check the content today. He was already impatient to see his son who might have just been a bean.
Arista registers himself for a gynecological examination, while waiting for Arista's queue to walk his way around the hospital. He stopped at the park west of the hospital, the park looked beautiful and very well maintained, there looked small children were running around. The hospital clothes they use are not an obstacle for them to play. Seeing their innocent laughter made Arista impatiently wait for the presence of his baby.
Sometimes Arista laughed at the children's behavior, but before long his smile faded as his eyes caught the sight that was quite heartbreaking. There was a child sitting in his wheelchair staring at his peers who could play as much as possible. Seeing her hair that was barely there anymore made Arista understand what had happened to the boy. He decided to approach the boy.
"Hi little sister.." Sapa Arista while smiling broadly at the boy.
"bidadali's word.." The little boy exclaimed with excitement at the sight of Arsita's beautiful face and wide smile.
"What are you doing here, sweet sister?" Arista gently rubbed the child's head, his eyes glazed over the pain the child felt this small.
"Alan bocen dikamal telus gada nang nemenin." The boy nodded while pursing his lips.
(Alan bosen in the room continues, no one nemenin.)
"Alan, what a name. It fits well with this handsome boy."
"Butan Alan tata bidadali, fire alan." The boy's words left Arista puzzled.
(Not Alan kaka but Arlan.)
The sister who had accompanied Arlan smiled and said, "Name Arlan miss."
Arista chuckled briefly and went back to talking to Arlan, no matter what they were talking about. They chatted as if they were old friends exchanging stories, occasionally a crisp laugh came out between the two. Sister Meli - Sister Arlan-smiles seeing her patients look happy.
"Takit's bidadali order?"
(So, you sick angel?)
"No Arlan.."
"Why tata to takit's house? tata au temenu tata?"
(Why did Kaka go to the hospital? Do you want to meet Kaka?)
Hearing Arlan's question, Arsita just remembered she should have been waiting for a queue in front of the gynecologist. Too cool to joke with Arlan makes him forget the time, why when he saw Arlan there was a sense of comfort and affection suddenly penetrated his heart.
"Oiya, Kaka forgot. Kaka here to see baby's sister."
"Wahh, Tata was a baby sister? Alan au loam.." Arlan exclaimed in excitement while clapping his hands but soon his expression changed.
"sorry tata, tata asti nda boyehin Alan look at the baby huh? adi takit aya Alan."
(Sorry kaka, Kaka definitely can't Arlan take a baby? Afraid of getting sick rich Arlan."
Arista was surprised why Arlan could talk like that, he looked at Meli asking for an explanation.
"There are no patients here like Arlan. This hospital does make special regulations for people with cancer, HIV and other severe diseases. Patients will be transferred to a special building so that they are comfortable and not disturbed. Sometimes there are nosy visitors who stare at them with disgust, some even denounce and say fear of contracting." Meli Obviously.
"Well on a patient as small as Arlan? Then why is Arlan here?"
"Yes miss. Arlan had been suffering from blood cancer since he was two years old. During this one year Arlan's medical expenses in the responsibility of community organizations in the social field, but already about six months Arlan's treatment stopped because the organization no longer channeled medical funds to Arlan. Arlan's condition worsens every day and the hospital decides to take care of Arlan but without treatment as before and move her back here."
Arista was silent, he had not expected that there would still be such a person. Is cancer not a disease that is easily transmitted from one person to another? Do they not want to see children as small and sweet as Arlan must bear trials that are not even able to experience adults.
"If you can tell where Arlan's parents are? Then, what does Arlan mean here if he doesn't get a handle on it?"
"Arlan, the orphanage child of miss, there used to leave Arlan with a state of body that is still red in the orphanage of Kasih Bunda. Arlan grows up to be handsome, intelligent and responsive, but at the age of 1 year Arlan begins to get sick. At the age of 2 years later Arlan was known to suffer from leukemia which may be derived from his mother. At that time there were ormas who were willing to finance Arlan's treatment so that the mother of the orphanage immediately agreed to it."
"Awhaa?" Arista closed his mouth in disbelief.
"Miss don't you want to see the baby? Did you just give birth to Miss?" Meli tried to divert the conversation, she could not bear to see the beautiful lady in front of her crying as much as that.
"Ah yes, I want to check my actual content. Can I take Arlan there?" Ask Arista.
"Certainly miss, let me take Miss."
"Arlann, come with brother first.." Invite Arista who was immediately welcomed by Arista. Since she was in the hospital no one accompanied her other than Sister Meli and the orphanage Mother.
They walk towards the poly womb together, the nurse meli still push Arlan. He forbids Arista from doing so for fear of endangering Arista's young content.
"Meli, have you been looking after Arlan?"
"Yes Miss, I'm just like Arlan. We are from the same place - Mother's Love-Fanties, so I know how Arlan is."
Hearing Meli's reply, Arista nodded in response. Why does his brain make a plan that might be considered stupid by others, given Arsita's current state.
"Mel, after checking my contents. I want to talk to you about something." Arista said steadily, he was sure of what he would do.
Since walking in the corridor was indeed some visitors there were bright brightly staring disdainfully and avoiding them. Arista alone feels claustrophobic especially Arlan.
Since the Arista queue number has been missed so Arista took a new queue which fortunately only waited two people.
"What kind of handsome bayina? or talik?" Arlan said with a big smile imagining the face of the baby sister he would see.
Arista smiled, he crouched down in front of Arlan as he gently rubbed the child's head.
"The baby's sister is still in the belly of the sister, Arlan had to wait approximately 9 months to be able to see the baby's sister.
The smile on Arlan's lips faded away as he stared at Arista's slightly protruding belly.
"Arlan why?"
"Alan inin iat dede baby, fire tayana Alan already in tulga."
(Arlan wanted to see dede bati, but Arlan's wealth was in heaven.)
"Eh apitan, Alan macih ica iat dede ali tulga yaa"
(eh, Arlan can still see a baby from heaven.)
Not only Arista, Meli was also shocked by Arlan's words. They stared in disbelief at Arlan, seemingly once the two young women could not hold back their tears.
"Arlan can't talk like that, I'm sure Arlan will be cured. Trusting the brother. Arlan would like to be treated rich first? Arlan will see the baby brother's grandpa, but Arlan must be eager to heal." Said Arista with all her might holding back her cries.
Meli stared in disbelief at Arista, she certainly knew where Arista was talking.
