Restore Your Smile

Don't Arrest!

Celine has been living with the Wijaya family for almost a week. His face was not very pale, although his cheeks still looked thin. For that, James called Mbok Yani to find out Celine's favorite food, Celine's hobby, etc.

Mama Ratna also painstakingly took care of Celine and noticed her nutritional balance. He also noticed what kind of food made Celine spend more food, or vice versa, what type he left the most.

As usual on Thursday, Mama Ratna has a schedule of teaching private English lessons from 10:00 - 16:00. Therefore, from 09:30, Mama Ratna was ready to leave the house.

"Titip Celine yeah, James. Mama's lunch is on the dinner table. If you want, stay hot again. Mama went well ...." Such was the message of his mother, as before.

That day was cloudy. James and Celine stayed home alone. They spend time watching TV in the living room. Because the show is boring, plus James lack of sleep last night because playing games until dawn, making James feel sleepy. Not to mention the cool air is increasingly tempting to immediately move to the dream world.

The new clock shows at 11:00. Then, he saw Celine. It turned out that Celine also felt the same way, her eyes were already half-closed and her head was already nodding like a kneeling bird. The weather is good for sleeping, James thought.

James turned off the TV, led Celine to her room, and then she went back to her own room. It didn't take long, James had fallen asleep.

A rumbling stomach wakes James up. What time is it now ? he said in his heart. Then he saw his watch. The time is 14:20. Quick, it's past lunch.

James immediately exited the room, then headed for Celine's room. He knocked on the door of the room.

"Cin .... Still asleep? Bang James entered well.." said James used to be polite, although he did not expect Celine's answer.

James opened the door to Celine's room slowly, fearing that the occupants were still sleeping. And sure enough, he saw Celine still lying on the bed in a curled position. But how shocked James was when he saw Celine's face pale and grimacing in pain.

"Celine's sick? Where's that sick?" James hurriedly drew closer to Celine and instantly reflexively stuck a hand to his forehead.

James immediately went out of the room and looked for an ulcer medicine in the medicine box. Then go back to the room with the medicine and a glass of warm water.

"Drink first, Lin .." she said as she helped Celine sit down and directed the medicine and warm water into Celine's mouth.

After placing a pillow on Celine's back to allow Celine to comfortably sit on her back, James went back out of the room. He took a large plastic bag, then filled it with warm water to compress Celine's stomach.

After putting the compress bag over Celine's stomach, James sat down next to Celine and watched her condition with anxiety. About 10-15 minutes later, Celine's condition slowly improved. His grimacing face began to return to his usual flat expression.

Seeing that, James was relieved. But along with his relief, another emotion he had been holding back from earlier burst out. Reflexively, he cupped his hands together on Celine's cheeks, brought his face closer to Celine's and stared straight at Celine's eyeballs.

"Other times, if you are sick or hungry, don't hold back! Call Bang James! Or if you can't call, find Bang James! Shouts can too! Anything! Don't just shut up! Understand ??!!" he said with a high tone.

Celine remained silent with a flat expression. There was no change in the look on his face, although James himself could see the reflection of his face in Celine's eyeballs. A blank look of eyes that sliced through his heart.

He knew it wasn't Celine's fault. This happened because of his own carelessness that skipped meals until it resulted in Celine's stomach ache. He knew Celine's condition had not reached the stage of being able to worry about herself. But he instead vented his frustration at Celine! How cruel!

"I'm sorry Bang James well, Lin .... Sorry yeah." said James, clutching Celine's head, then hugging the little girl.

This is the last one! There will be no such thing again! Brother will be more careful again .... Brother's promise, Lin .... James promised in his heart.
