Sky overcast

Two sad news at once

Ah finally I can feel again talking to bi Gina. After a week of not seeing. I sat at the dinner table near the kitchen. Supporting his chin with one hand, saw bi Gina who was busy cooking. While talking, bi Gina also while serving me who spoke. Answer what I asked. You could say I must have disturbed him. I complained about what Adam said yesterday. And bi Gina answered him with just a smile, then stroked my head, then continued cooking again.

"Bi, when you're done, aunty is also coming along for them to eat?" Yes, actually bi Gina cooked for me to bring to the street sisters. I miss them already.

"Yes Nara, I can."

"Yes." Yeah." I was immediately excited. Not just me, of course they were there. Because I promised to bring bi Gina back there.

"Fine change your clothes first." Eh yes, sangking happy when he returned to the apartment there bi Gina, I immediately sat at the kitchen table and had not entered the room at all.

This afternoon was very hot, me and bi Gina who had arrived at the place. But didn't see them there, not one. Heh, I'm sure that they must be busking or looking for used goods. Otherwise they would not be able to eat. Sometimes I'm afraid I'll always leave money for them. I was afraid that someone would do something bad like that. Mending if only the money is taken, if they fight will definitely be beaten. They are too small to fight.

"Their cards are also no bi." I crouched down, holding both my head. Why did I suddenly feel bad. God, don't let them do anything. It was my fault for not coming here for the last week.

"Nara, try to find them in the streets, where they used to busk. Who knows it's there." I nodded, then left in the car. It's pretty far away, in the red light area. I hope they are there.

"But if according to aunt's eyes, they're not there anymore. You see, there's no stuff in there. It looks clean." Deg. Enough bi, don't worry me more.

I pulled my car over at one of the roadside stalls. Just waiting here, it's not far from the red light. My eyes were wild, looking out at the street. I wish I could find just one of them. So you can ask.

"Bi, aunty wait here for a minute." I walked across. Because I saw other street kids. Although not one of them, but I hope that this child sees it.

"I know the place." Thank goodness I stroked my chest. Follow the child's steps that show the way.

"So they ate sis, bought rice." Oh my goodness, they eat. I am grateful to hear it again. Which means they're fine.

The boy pointed to a small hallway, which was in the flank of the building and shophouse. It's just that it's very quiet, even though it's still on the edge of the highway. I clearly saw them eating two packs of rice, and had to be eaten with 10 people. Will it be full? They have not realized my arrival. I am eating and laughing. I looked back again. I want to thank the boy who showed me the way. But he's gone, my goodness.

"Why are you here?" I asked, they turned their heads and their faces immediately sparkled.

"Sir Nara?" They were scrambling to hug me. Miss this they're on me?

"Brothers come to the usual place, but you're not there. My brother brought food." They smiled, but the next second his face turned sad, looking down. What was?

"Why? What was? Tell brother?" They just look at each other. I know, it's an unworthy place to talk. I invited him to sit in the stall where bi Gina was waiting there.

Walking across the highway hand in hand, laughing. I've never felt this way before, having to use hand language so that motorists on the highway can slow down the pace of their vehicles. I feel reborn near them. This unclean face, not enough age. Able to survive even if you have to turn around looking for rupiah. While I, who was nice, even had a maid in the apartment. Money's good, and anytime asking dad will give him.

I asked bi Gina to order drinks according to their numbers. And about the food, we've brought it. Special cook by bi Gina.

"So, how'd it drink 10? We're only 9 people." I looked at their faces one by one. Yes, it is true that I count through the eyes. They were only 9 people, not 10? Who isn't here. Andi's? I'm looking for Andi, he's not there.

"Is Andi left behind? Should it be followed, or just the brother who followed him? You just mention the place, andi's kasian later he's gonna yell at you." They even bowed.

"Nara, let them eat first." I looked towards bi Gina. Looks like something's going on. All right, I'm eating too. They eat looking so good. I was in taste, not disgusted at all. I'm happy, and so is bi Gina. He smiled continuously, then occasionally stroked one of those sitting nearby.

The sound of a motorbike on the side of the road is disheveled. Like being our lunch side dish today. Honestly, I have never eaten in this place. I don't know how much a drink costs and a serving of rice.

"Sorry, this is mostly." I gave him three hundred thousand bills. But the seller returned two pieces of money to me, plus a fraction.

"Lho?" I'm shocked. How much is the drink here? "Hem Ma'am. Just take the change, and I'll sit here for a while, ma'am." I gave him that money again.

"But, but this is too much." His face was confused, his mouth had not closed perfectly.

"His mother's sustenance." I smiled and sat down with them again. It's time I heard, what exactly happened, and where Andi was.

"Sister, Andi's dead." Deg. My body's squeezing. Like there was a lightning bolt that suddenly came in the scorching heat, making me jump in shock. Bi Gina supported my body, I was almost unconscious.

Andi, he's the youngest of them. He's 6 years old. Suffered to live on the streets, due to the divorce of his parents. Just like me, and live only with her grandmother. But after her grandmother died, Andi had to live on the streets with them. Because they no longer have a place to live. Andi is with her grandmother.

"It was raining so hard that night, we were all looking for shade. Andi had complained of stomach pain from the morning. Until we left him busking. And that night, Andi shivered. We don't have blankets. So, you can only hug each other to warm each other. But when we woke up in the morning, Andi's body was stiff and motionless." I cried, I cried hearing their explanation. Oh my God, but Andi should feel the beauty of staying in the house soon. But instead he chose another house.

"Then, why aren't all your boxes there?"

"That's brother, the landowner kicked us out. Because he said he'd build a house there." I shake again.

"And now we sleep moving places."

"I'm sorry, you couldn't help at that time. But I promise you soon you'll have a home."

In fact, I was actually very annoyed to see people who owned land there. Although construction will be carried out. At least let them be there before construction begins. I looked towards bi Gina. She knew from the look in my eyes, I asked her for help this time.

"Aunty's neighbors work as building porters. If you want aunt will talk to him."

"As for bi land, I want them to stay around here." Bi Gina thought of something.

And today, I'm looking for a decent rented house for them to live in for a while. I will no longer let them sleep on the streets. From today, no more. And luckily, in just an hour I found what the contract was. Fits the price.

"You like it?" They simultaneously nodded.

"Yes, starting today, you can no longer pack. Every day you will bring food here. And if you don't have time, someone else will drive you."

"Thank you, brother." I hugged them one by one.

I saw the clock in my hand. It's been 4pm, geez not felt. My head feels heavy, probably because I haven't had a nap.

"Bi?" I called bi Gina who is not among us at the moment. Maybe he was out.

"You like not the bed?"

"Like brother."

"Don't fight if you live in one house. Remember, you are brothers. Love each other. And you, you're the oldest of them. Gotta guide your sisters."

They were still traversing every space, his eyes sparkling like finding a place of waiting all this time. This is a contract that I think is small. I'll build a house for those who are far more luxurious than this. If only I had income, I would have been able to send them to school.

"Nara? Nara?"

"What's wrong?" I ran towards bi Gina.

"Bi, what's wrong?"

"Nara, aunt's husband. Aunt's husband fell over, this was just aunt's neighbor's phone." Oh my goodness, the news is coming again.

"You're not going anywhere." I gave them money. Then go straight out to the car, ready to go to Gina's house. Throughout the journey bi Gina could only cry. I couldn't hold her or calm her down. I was focused on driving.

When he arrived in front of the alley, bi Gina immediately jumped down. Just leave me. I who do not know the location of the house bi Gina tried to ask the surrounding residents.

"Who's looking for de?"

"House bi Gina Bu, whose husband is sick." Then he pointed to the house surrounded by bamboo fences. I nodded, the house was simple but so neat. Already there are some neighbors there, may also have been waiting for the return of bi Gina. I'm getting more and more guilty, if only I hadn't invited bi Gina earlier. Oh my God, I blame myself. If only a thousand and now.

"Nara, Nara?" Bi Gina was still panicking.

"Yes bi, how's aunt's husband doing?" She was crying again.

"Unconscious. Can Nara please help auntie take her to the hospital?" I immediately nodded and ran, uh I turned around and asked. The car can't get in, then how do I get it to the front of the alley?

"Just wait in the car, let auntie's neighbors help pick her up." I nodded again.

All right, I have to do a lot of good. I often don't realize that I'm pregnant, obviously I'm not married either. I ran up to the car, my breath was dull. My stomach, like a patch on the bottom. Touch her. Again I am careless.

"Bi? Aunty go in first." I saw bi Gina has arrived.

Bi Gina looked at her husband who was in the room, his whole body attached to a hose. Even Gina could no longer shed her tears. I was tired of crying. I led him to sit down. Rubbing his arm, that's all I can do.

"Bi? Just pray that aunt's husband can recover." Bi Gina just kept her head down.

"Auntie was expecting that, even though it was impossible. You heard what the doctor said. His recovery is only 50%. But aunt thought about the cost of this hospital. If it's not paid until the afternoon, it won't be done no surgery." Not a small fee, I know that. Although at this time my money is enough to help, but how will the fate of my brothers later if the money I use now. While I promised too.

"Before bi." I walk down the hospital hallway. Looking for a quiet place, in the corner of the hospital hallway. Take out the cell phone, hoping this time I'll help.

"Hallo's? Daddy?"

"Yes Nara?"

"Well, I'd like to ask you a favor." I need to talk as gently as possible, as grievously as possible so that father will help him.

"Say."

"Well, bi Gina's husband went to the hospital. And it has to cost well, otherwise it might somehow be his fate."

"Nara?" Dad cut my words. I haven't finished talking.

"yeah? Kasian bi Gina yah."

"Nara?"

"Well! Just replace it with my monthly pocket money yeah."

"Listen to me first!" I immediately fell silent.

"Do the operation. I'll transfer the money now, but I can't come to see it. I'm out of town." Oh, my God, he's my dad. I'm sure Dad would help him.

When the notification came in with enough money to pay the hospital fee, I went straight to the hospital administration.

"This is a receipt of proof of payment. Please sign here." I nodded, and signed the letter.

"Thank you sister." I can smile now, I'm sure bi Gina is happy to hear that too.

I passed through the hospital hallway, long enough I left bi Gina alone. I see he's still sitting there, in the same position. Even though his eyes seemed empty. Until I sit back next to bi Gina. He just glanced at me.

"Auntie only has her, if she goes aunty doesn't know how aunty's life will be." Deg, is that really what is called true love?

"Although aunt also works, and indeed aunt is the backbone at this time. But without him aunt sure everything must be empty. Auntie's eager to make money for it too." I hugged bi Gina.

"Bi, calm down. The operation will be done in a minute." Bi Gina immediately took off my embrace. Holding my face with both hands.

"Say, did you pay Nara?" I'm shaking.

"Not bi, but my father."

"Nara?" Bi Gina immediately hugged me tightly, saying thanks over and over again.

"Bi, yes. Don't be sad." I pat her shoulders.

"Bi, I'm going home? Later that night I come back here, you bring aunty some food." Bi Gina nodded. Thankfully, two sad tidings I heard today, but had a way out to deal with them. I am thankful that God still wants to hear my prayer.

When I got to the apartment, I cleaned myself up. Really, my bones are sore, my body is also limp. I don't have a daily break. It's not usually like this either, but I'm sure it's also the effect of my pregnancy. I lay down for a while in bed. Waiting for the dark day, I will come back to the hospital as I promised bi Gina. I closed my eyes for a moment.

I opened my eyes again after 10 minutes. Daydreaming and staring at the ceiling of my room. I thought about what Adam said, until when will I live alone like this? What's up to old? And it depends only on my father, even though I don't live in one house with him. Then about the cost of my son's birth later? Although bi Gina has promised to take care of it, but isn't it all using money? If I always asked Dad, wouldn't he be suspicious.

"Ah I'm dizzy!!" No, I need to be in control. Otherwise I will definitely try to harm the child in my womb again. I got up, and looked for my phone.

"Adam, where are you?" I sent a message, hoping that Adam would reply soon. I'll take him to the hospital. With him I feel calmer. I prepared and waited for Adam's reply. But nil, until I walked out of the apartment there was also no answer. Or maybe she's with Elena?

I drove the car, without passion. Not that I had to come there, no. Not that, it's just that my body is hard to move. I was alone in the car, looking at the lights of another vehicle. Who sometimes just casually wear a spotlight far away, so I squinted my eyes. Not to mention the sound of another vehicle horn that is impatient and wants to overtake. Emotions are easy to ride like these days.

I've reached the hospital, made it through my complaints all the way. When I got to the hall I turned to the side, where was the other patient's room. That's it, isn't it? I don't think I'm the only one like this, but other people are too. Every walk surely his eyes will be wild to see here and there.

"Adam?" I stopped my steps, took two steps back. "So I saw Adam wearing a patient's shirt." The room that was not originally closed, ah but during the examination must be closed. A doctor also blocked my view.

"Geez, why do I think about Adam just because he didn't return my message?" I nodded and laughed to myself. Condemn my stupidity, how can I think if it's Adam. Just a quick look at it before. Could have blamed.

"Bi?" I approached bi Gina who was curled up sitting alone. Unfortunately, his clothes have not been changed since morning. Ha's? I forgot something.

"Bi, I forgot to bring food. Just a minute, bi?"

"Nara, don't you?" Bi Gina pulled my arm.

"Why bi? Aunt hasn't eaten yet, has she?"

"It is not necessary. Aunty's not hungry?" I sat down and smiled, stroking his arm. Bi Gina's face was very cute, her eyes were swollen from crying. If you and your mom were not divorced, would you be like this when you see your dad sick? And if they don't get divorced, I'll never meet bi Gina.

"Awaits bi. If auntie's sick too, then who's gonna take care of aunt's husband?" Bi Gina wants to listen to me. She nodded, which meant agreeing with me to buy food.

"For a while, bi. I'll search around the hospital." Bi Gina finally collapsed.

I'm sure, around the hospital there will still be people selling food. Especially the rice packs. Because they will still sell at any hour. Hospital environment, not just patients who want to fill the stomach. But the people who look after him too.

"Adam Hallo?" Adam called me when I bought food and walked into the hospital.

"Where did you ask me? What's up?"

"No, uh means yes. I'm in the hospital. Bi Gina's husband is sick." Adam was silent.

"So I also like to see you there's a patient room, funny huh. Just because you didn't return my message." Adam laughed when he heard it.

"I happen to be outside now. I'll be there, wait a minute."

"Yes, you be careful on the road." I hung up. Getting excited, not because of meeting Adam. But I didn't feel lonely, so I also had a chatting friend. Bi Gina is currently not okay. So, to be invited to talk anything is still impossible. It was hard for him to respond to what I said.

"Bi, auntie eat ya." I opened the rice and gave it to bi Gina. He opened his mouth and put food in it. And the second bribe, he gave it to me.

"You haven't eaten either, have you?" I'm nodding. Then accept the bribe that bi Gina gave.

"It's bi, aunty's eating." I don't know why I feel like what goes into my mouth feels weird. Not bad, but I don't know maybe it's just my tongue that can't stimulate the taste of food right now.

"Nara?" I looked up when I finished sipping mineral water.

"Adam, have you arrived? That fast?" Adam smiled, before sitting down he took the time to greet bi Gina.

"Nara, you go home. Tomorrow you also have to get up early, school." Why did bi Gina throw me out?

"Bi, Adam just arrived." Bi Gina even stroked my arm. Whatdoes thatmean?

"Aibi alone. I'm sorry if I can't come to the apartment tomorrow? You can ask your friend for help first, sorry?" I hugged her.

"Yes bi. It's okay." Adam who had just sat down immediately stood up, extending his hand to me. Then I clasped my hand as I received his hand.

"Bi, we go first." Bi Gina nodded and resumed eating.

Seriate..
