Santri Famiglia's

Eye Check

Sanubari was hysterical. Zunta who was waiting for him was surprised until accidentally his lollipop was thrown and landed on Sanubari's forehead.

"Abuel!"

(Grandfather!)

Zunta ran while screaming. His small steps led him to the kitchen. There, Zunta pulls the Canda T-shirt that is cooking paela.

"¡Abuelo, esta despierto, abuelo! ¡Ven a ver! Esta gritando."

(Grandfather, he's sober, Cake! He's conscious! Come look, Cake! She screams.)

Hearing that, Canda turned off the stove. In a hurry he went to Sanubari's room with Zunta. A few steps later, they reached where Sanubari was laid.

Sanubari fell, the hose of the infusion was released. He was still clamoring for the people closest to him, crying for help. Canda hugged Sanubari who was now sitting on the floor. He assured the boy that he was now safe.

After being quiet enough, Canda raises Sanubari to the bed again. He examined Sanubari's wounds. Nothing is open. The glass puncture wound has dried and browned. Just waiting to peel off by itself.

"Zunta, this kid seems to be from Indonesia. Talk or joke in Indonesian! Grandpa wants to continue cooking first," Canda's message responded with a nod by Zunta.

Canda left the two children. Zunta gets into bed. He sat next to the leaning Sanubari. The little girl wiped Sanubari's tears.

"Don't cry!" said.

However, Sanubari fell silent. He is confused in his own feelings. Previous events were like nightmares turning into reality.

Sanubari repeatedly suffered a kidnapping but this time it was the most severe. The trauma reappeared. He tried to stay calm and hoped that soon someone would come to pick him up. Even though he can't see. However, Sanubari still try not to worry about his condition.

Alone, he curbed fear for days in true darkness. His fear was heightened when he heard the noise of the night. The night his body was thrown in all directions, overturned and stabbed by a foreign body before finally losing consciousness. He had felt all the excruciating pain that hurt the body. The incident was carried over to dreamland.

Until now, Sanubari's mind is still burning. Mentally shaken. His body was still shaking from shock.

Zunta seemed confused as to how to start the interaction. However, he remembered that he had not introduced himself.

"Um, hi! My name is Zunta" he said, extending a hand.

However, Sanubari did not welcome him. Zunta was a little annoyed feeling ignored. He put Sanubari's right hand in his left hand and greeted him with his own. Then, he said, "If invited to salaman, dong held! Can't be a cocky kid!"

Sorrowfully, Sanubari replied, "Sorry, I can't see."

"Each of them heads are subdued! Don't look anywhere else! I'm here, loh! Look at me." Without hesitation Zunta held Sanubari's head and pointed at himself.

"Aw, aw, sick," complained Sanubari.

"Ups, sorry! It seems I accidentally touched your wound. I didn't mean to hurt you. I just want you to see me." Zunta let go of his hand.

"I can't see. Even if you sit in front of me right now, I still can't see. My eyes are dark."

"Oh, my gosh, sorry! I don't know. Could it be that a foreign object has entered your eye so as to prevent your vision?" Zunta looked at Sanubari's eyes.

Nothing looks weird. Sanubari's eyes are very clear and refreshing. Zunta even brought her face closer until it was not far away.

"I don't know." Sanubari replied in a flat tone.

"Is it like this you can't see me?" asked Zunta who was staring at Sanubari without blinking.

Sanubari just as not blinking. Sanubari. Unintentionally Sanubari's lips and nose hit something very soft and tender. Soon he apologized.

"Sorry, I think I hit something."

"You hit my cheek." Zunta rolled back her face and sat down.

"Sorry."

"It's okay. By the way, your green eyes are very beautiful. Unclouded. Perfect. Everything looks normal. Worry not! My grandfather was a great doctor. He can definitely make you look back."

"really?" A smile rose on Sanubari's face.

The days of befriending the darkness made him depressed and stressed. He was also frustrated. However, he never showed his feelings with attitude. He tried to hide everything.

To be honest, Sanubari longs for the beautiful colorful world. It can not stand to linger in the limitations of motion. Blindness made him unable to do much.

Zunta hugged Sanubari. "of course. So don't be sad anymore, yeah!"

Zunta let go of the hug and asked again, "Oh, yes! You haven't told me your name yet. You who?"

"Sanubari."

"A unique name."

"You sound so cute. How old are you?"

"Hm, how much, huh? I don't know either. Grandpa said, I am five years old. We just celebrated my birthday last Sunday, on the cake was a five-figure candle" Zunta said, showing five fingers. Although he already knew that Sanubari could not see but he still did. The intonation of his speech when calling the number five sounds very funny.

Sanubari tried to calculate the age difference between the two of them. "Well, you're seven years younger than me, huh?"

*****

Zunta recounted the contents of her conversation with Sanubari to Canda as soon as the man came. Canda immediately did a thorough examination of Sanubari's body. Includes blood tests, eye pressure, pupil sensitivity, eye ronsen and such. He also asked Sanubari a few things.

The three of them were in the room where Sanubari had surgery before. This is where the various medical equipment is stored. Sanubari and Zunta play with swivel chairs. They both go around in circles. Occasionally Zunta glides. However, Canda rebuked him.

Zunta could have accidentally damaged the equipment if it continued to slide. Finally, he just turned the chair.

Meanwhile, Canda tried to read the results of blood tests and eye ronsen. He closely observed the projection of Sanubari's enlarged eyes on the monitor screen. The middle of the mouse he occasionally scrolls, his body he moves and the buttons that he presses. The observation revealed a conclusion.

"Optical Neuritis" muttered Canda who then called two young boys who were playing, "Zunta, bring Sanubari here!"

"Ready, Cake!" Zunta got off her chair. He then pushed Sanubari's chair from behind to his grandfather's desk again. Then, Zunta pulled his own chair closer. He also wanted to hear his grandfather's diagnosis.

Sanubari's heart beats very fast. Ready not ready he must be able to accept the reality he will hear. His heart said that he must accept everything with the air no matter what the outcome. However, his inner heart was not sure that he could accept if he had to get the worst possibility.

He does not want to be blind forever. Maybe Sanubari needs time to accept his fate if it really happens.
