Papa's Little Daughter

Dizziness Once

"Yesterday said that teacher Shan was able to enter Kindergarten again. B-but how can Shan still not walk right now."

Chandra's eyes suddenly felt hot. Chandra did not dare to stare at the pair of neutrals of his little princess. He is incapable.

Chandra touched Shan's two legs. Nurturing, caressing. Chandra occasionally blows it as if reciting a spell for healing Shan's body parts.

"Papa, Shan's gonna be on his birthday soon?"

Chandra looked up. "Oh yes!" yells.

How could Chandra forget the special day of his baby. Chandra is so bad.

Chandra then quickly counted using his fingers. "Two months, baby."

"Yeayyy in two months. Shan is impatient!" pekik Shan with a very cheerful expression.

Behind the pantry walls, Rosa heard everything. Rosa found out about Shan's birthday. His feelings are mixed now. His heart whimpered, it turned out that little baby was born from his womb.... The little baby she never wanted would soon be getting older. Rosa's tears just flowed...

The afternoon is approaching. After Shan fell asleep Chandra left Shan and went out of the room to meet someone. Yes, Shan now often falls asleep not knowing the time. Instead of calling it an advantage because with Shan asleep then Chandra has a gap to go for a while. But Chandra does have a very urgent need right now.

"I'll drop Shan first. Want to get out" he said when he met Rosa in the doorway.

This time Rosa did not ask. He has no courage. His trauma prevented him. Trauma will be snapped by Chandra like yesterday-yesterday when he asked a lot of questions.

Rosa just fell silent after seeing Chandra's back slowly disappear.

Chandra finally got to where it was headed. Pawn place again.

Not to stuff anymore but to take care of something.

Chandra waved at a man in uniform that place. He's an officer who a few days ago served his car pawn transaction.

"Excuse me, I'm back here because there's something."

The officer was curious.

"My son's unicorn doll missed in the car. I'm gonna take it."

The officer is still silent.

"Can you sir? Please take me to—emm—maybe the warehouse or place nyimpen his car? Just for a second, just to get the doll."

"Alright sir the problem is that the car has been brought the same one that bought. Just this morning."

Chandra slapped his own eel. He cursed in his heart, the article was one of Shan's favorite dolls. Last night Shan asked. Shan remembers that the pink-horned unicorn doll he put in the car. And if the doll doesn't return to his hands, it reveals Chandra's secret that has mortgaged his car.

"Please Shan don't know about this..."

Rosa's POV

"Ummmgg... Hicks..."

I was shocked when Shania suddenly whined in her sleep. He called out to his father while his eyes were still closed.

I woke him up immediately. It seems like the little boy was having a bad dream.

"Wake Shania. Shania why hey? Shania? Shanias. Let's get up, what's up, Shania?"

"Prince.papa..."

"Shanias? Awake baby. Hey this is Elsa's sister. Let's wake up Shania."

"Hiks papa's... Hiks... It hurts..."

Deg.

I was scared not playing. Shania why? What's that hurt? Which part of it hurts? What do I have to do now?

I hugged her body, hugged her shook her. I'm still trying to wake him up, but the boy won't open his eyelids.

Luckily doctor Hans came from the doorway. Doctor Hans immediately intervened.

"Shan's? Hey Shan get up. Wake up Shan." Doctor Hans patted both cheeks of the boy. It was seen that sweat was overwhelmingly flooding the entire surface of Shania's face.

And finally Shania wants to open her eyes. Shania immediately cried sobbing in my arms.

Me and Dr. Hans could only stare at each other.

Why is Shania?

Shania really made us both very scared.

The door suddenly opened, revealing Chandra who had finally returned home. Chandra's reaction was very surprised, the man immediately rushed over, taking over Shania from my body.

"Why? Why cry, dear? What's going on??"

Chandra is now asking me and Dr. Hans. "My shan why?"

We can't give you an answer. Just silence. We don't know Chandra either...

"Shan what are you rasain now?" ask doctor.

"Dizziness. So dizzy."

Shania's reply instantly made us all worry. Is that why Shania had chosen to close her eyes? Because if you open your eyes will feel the dizziness of seven circumference.

"Dok help my son give me medicine." pinta Chandra.

"I'll be prescribing medicine soon."

"OTHER AGAIN???" Chandra's voice is now rising.

Chandra can't wait. Chandra was in a hurry. That must be because Chandra could not bear to see Shania whimpering continuously.

Chandra jaws harden. The man is like a bomb whose time is only a matter of seconds.

I don't want Chandra's emotions to explode.

"Prophetically Chan, let Dr. Hans finish his examination first with Shania" I said. After that I could hear the long breath he was breathing.

Time passed and finally Dr. Hans was done. Doctor Hans gives Shania some medicine. Shania's medicine is now increasing greatly. I didn't memorize all the drugs. Chandra and I tricked him by putting the drugs in small transparent plastic bottles that are very large in number and then we write the names of the drugs and their drinking hours.

I really could not bear to see Shania who at all times had to be prescribed so many drugs. I alone who was this old still could not if I had to swallow a pill, let alone such a small child.

"Ohuk... uhukk..." Shania coughed as her last medicinal pill managed to swallow.

Chandra shut the boy's mouth.

"Chandra don't!" my prevent.

I know Chandra's point is for Shania not to spit out the cure, but it's wrong.

Currrr.

And now it's true that I guess, finally Shania took it out through the nose. Only water comes out, but it still hurts. It must be hard and uncomfortable.

Shania finally cried.

Chandra apologizes repeatedly to Shania. I could only be silent where I saw them. Oh my God, why is this so heartbreaking...

...***...

Tok tok...

At nightfall, exactly after the adhan maghrib roared I visited the room of Dr. Hans.

Not without intention, I was here asked by Chandra. The man wanted me to ask Dr. Hans to be prescribed a fever-lowering drug. Shania has a fever.

"Please come in."

I entered the room of Dr. Hans. The cold room with a modern but simple accent immediately welcomed me. The room that I think very clearly illustrates how the impression of the doctor sir.

But I won't talk about the room any further. Remember, I came here because there was a purpose.

"Rose? What brings you here? How about a tumben?"

"Dok please prescribe a fever-lowering drug, immediately. Shania's body temperature is high now."

Doctor Hans was surprised. He seemed to have not expected that such a thing would happen to Shania.

"So Shan's been eating, right?" ask doctor. Doctor Hans was not silent, his hands were busy concocting some medicine, grinding it into powder and wrapping it.

"It's Doc, but a little. Shania has a hard time eating again." I replied.

"Did she just cry again?"

I'm shaking. "No doc, it's just a little fussy now. It may be due to the effects of fever and... I think Shania's still dizzy."

Doctor Hans glanced at me and continued his activities. It even tends to speed up the movement of his hands.

Until finally what Dr. Hans did was done. All the drugs are done. Doctor Hans is now following me back to the room where Shania is. But before that...

"Please give it to Shan. It's hers, right?"

I saw a unicorn doll in the hands of Dr. Hans. Unicorn doll with pink horns.

I didn't know if it was Shania's doll or not, but I just accepted it.

We both move quickly down the corridor. The faster and faster to get to the destination room.

The door of my room opened and we were immediately greeted with a heartbreaking cry coming out of the owner of the tall body. Chandras...

Chandra cried, while clutching tightly onto Shania's lunglai body which turned out to be her clothes were full of blood stains.

Me and Doctor Hans were instantly speechless. We're in total shock...
