Red Hooded Girl

Mimin Into the Hospital

"Tea... Strangest... Wake Tea!" Abah, Mami and Opi try to wake Mimin who fell unconscious.

Slowly Mimin opened his eyes but he felt all over his body limp as if not boned, especially in the legs.

"Come on Tea, stand up" said Mami.

Mimin tried to stand up, but he felt his legs were really weak like a paralytic, his legs unable to stand. "Te-teteh can not stand," he said weakly and stammered.

After stopping at the mosque of the village of Cibening to perform the prayers of Isya, the God went to the house of Sol. Had stopped by his contract, but because he realized the key to the contract was held by Sol, he rushed to Sol's house.

To Sol, he told her the whole problem.

"So you want to run where's your brother going?" ask Sol.

"I'm going to Bali, Sol. I only have two days left, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to find Bang Deka."

"Wa, I would have told you that I've met your brother in indoapril here. So, if I think anyway, your brother is in this city," said Sol.

"Cowok my brother's model that it feels impossible if you run to this city, will not feel at home. Besides, to my knowledge, he doesn't have any friends in this town" said Dewa.

"When do you want to go to Bali?"

"Morrow's plan. I want to talk to Mina first, tell her my problem. But even the situation becomes more complicated because of my bokap," complained God.

"Bokap you really are, I wonder. If Mina's problem, I think you meet Abah Haji and talk to him first. I think he is a wise man and will definitely want to dread you. In fact, maybe, Abah just doesn't believe the same bokap lo talk."

"Yes Sol. I'm going to see Mina again tomorrow. This matter should be clear before I leave for Bali for my brother's nyari."

"When you get home, there's no communication with Mina."

"My phone is gone, hape Jejed too, so until Jakarta we got snapped Sol," explained Dewa.

"When you return to Jakarta, Mina was already restless just waiting for news from lo, Wa. Continued plus bokap lo talk could be Mina think of the various about lo."

"Oh Allah, may Mina believe in me and not think of me as much" God said.

"Hopefully. If Mina loves you, she should believe you."

"Amen. I hope so."

"Propay for Wa." Sol patted his best friend's shoulder.

"If in Bali, you can't find your brother as well, what about Wa?" ask Sol.

"Gue doesn't know Sol," said the god.

"Do you want to be so obedient to your wishes and accept Clara's threats?"

The god took a long breath. "Gue doesn't know Sol," he said, holding his head that felt like it was going to explode.

While in the emergency room of a hospital, Abah and Mami were staring anxiously at her daughter who was limp helplessly over the gurney with an intravenous needle stuck in her hand. Mimin stared at the nanar of the infusion bottle filled with liquid that dripped rhythmically through the hose and into his veins.

A female doctor was examining Mimin intensely. When just up to now, doctors have also done a blood check as a first step to detect the patient's disease and check the patient's overall health condition.

"So how's Doc doing with my daughter?" ask Abah worriedly.

"Does the patient have vomiting or diarrhea?" The doctor asked Abah and Mami.

"No, Doc. No vomiting or diarrhea. Indeed, some days my daughter looks weak and weak, I think because she misses her husband" explained Mami.

"Does the patient have a history of the disease, sir, Mom?" The doctor asked again.

"Emmm, no Doc. Most often just stomach ulcers. It is often not regular eating," explained Mami.

"So the diet of patients is often irregular, ma'am?"

"It's right, Doc."

"So after the blood check, these lab results were out. If according to our analysis, the patient has hypokalemia," said the doctor.

"What is Doc? Is dangerous?" asked Abah and Mami worriedly.

Abah and Mami looked at each other with faces anxious to hear the doctor's explanation.

"Is it dangerous Doc? Does it include severe illness?" ask Mami to worry.

"Hipokalemia or potassium deficiency can be experienced by anyone. It usually occurs in patients who have diarrhea or vomiting. Treatment of hypokalemia needs to be done immediately to prevent serious complications. In cases of severe hypokalemia can make the heart pounding, the body weak even paralysis." The doctor explains at length about the diagnosis of the patient.

"Crippling? Does that mean our daughter's paralyzed, Doc? Because our daughter was weak and couldn't even stand."

"Mom's father is calm, it's only temporary paralysis. But, if the potassium in the body continues to decline to touch the zero is very dangerous can even cause death."

"Oh Allah, Abah," said Mami hysterically as she hugged her husband.

"It's okay, ma'am. Indeed, the results of the patient's lab examination include severe hypokalemia category because the level of potassium in the blood is very low, which is less than 2.5 mmol/L so that the patient felt weak like a paralytic. But Father and Mother do not need to worry, patients only need hospitalization and increase potassium intake so that potassium levels can increase and touch normal limits. Must eat a lot of bananas, avocados, oranges, fish and many more types of foods that contain potassium."

"So my daughter has to be taken care of huh, Doc?"

"Yes Mom. Should be treated later we will also provide potassium intake through potassium chloride infusion liquid to help increase potassium levels in the blood."

"Well, Doc if that's best for my daughter."

"For further explanation about the nursery, Mr. Mother can ask the Nurse or to the administration."

"Good, Doc. Thanks for the explanation."

The morning sun greeted him with warmth. Sol prepares to start her activities, leaving for her father's hijab shop. While Dewa prepares to go to Mimin's house, to straighten out the chaos caused by his father.

"Exit from the house Mina lo want to go directly to Bali, Wa?" ask Sol while preparing the motor by heating it.

"Yes Sol. The cave must be able to find my brother" replied the God who was already sitting on the motorbike, preparing to depart.

"Gue pray that the affairs of Lo Wa will be facilitated" said Sol.

"Yes Sol, pray for me. Usually the prayer lo makbul, Sol." The god smiled considering when two months ago set foot in this city and asked for prayers by Sol to meet the angel and at that time he met a red hooded girl who was as beautiful as an angel and now has become his wife.

"Yes, I pray for it. May this day my friend meet his brother. And may my best friend be given the ease to explain the problem to his wife. And may his father-in-law receive this friend of mine with all his soul. Amen."

The god smiled as he patted Sol on the shoulder standing right beside his motorbike. "Thank you, Soleh Munawar. I'll go first. Assalamualaikum."

"Waalaikum greetings," Sol replied to the sound of the roar of the God's motor that began to accelerate.

A few minutes later, God arrived at Mimin's courtyard.

Opi had just locked the door of the house when God came and greeted her.

"Assalamualaikum, Opi," said God.

Opi glanced at her sister-in-law for a moment. "Waalaikum salam," answered the lazy Opi in a slightly slender tone. He then resumed his activities to make sure the door was locked because no one was home.

The god glanced at the big bag that Opi was carrying. "The base is so big Pi, where do you want Pi to go?" ask God.

Opi did not pierce the question thrown by God, he swung a careless step towards his motorbike and put the big bag on the motorbike.

"Lo want to run away, Pi?" ask the gods again.

Opi then turned her gaze to the God then looked at him sharply. "Gue didn't expect you to be that asshole!" tukas Open.

The god breathed a heavy sigh. "Opi, do you believe that I'm that asshole, huh?!"

Opi was unmoved, in his heart he felt doubtful. If the percentage may be the fifty fifty value between believing and not with the speech of his father God.

“Lo has to believe that I'm not that jerk!” resolute God.

“Me now I came here to explain everything to Mina, Abah and Mami,”.

“At home no one,” clear Opi.

“Loh, Mina where is Pi?”

Opi was silent because of the doubt between telling the condition of her sister to God or not. Because she remembered Mommy's message.

“Don't tell me the state of Tetu as that jerk guy!!”
