SPIRIT AND DEATH

FRIENDS (1 Day Later)

My body had started to firm and not wither anymore like a half-dry foliage. But there is something that provokes my curiosity, which is about taste especially when alone.

For some reason it seemed like something was paying attention and looking at me sharply from various directions. My mind is spinning like my heart. Everything was full of question marks and incredible curiosity.

Who Them? What them? What does this have to do with me and why do they seem to want to swallow me alive? I kept asking in my heart while waiting for the visiting doctor to come over to check on me. But I didn't tell anyone what I felt like, Dad included.

The time rolling today does not feel long because by noon, I have a special guest that is my friends one class who usually do not care about others.

Here there are Kenzie, Mia, Putra, Kasih, Zoya and also Sila and some other friends. They bring lots of fruits and light snacks. But strangely those who carry all of it as souvenirs, but they were also the ones who ate it all out until I only bit a few pieces of crispy potatoes wrapped neatly in yellow with a sprinkling of roasted beef seasoning.

Even so, I did not feel annoyed that they did not mean anything bad, but rather felt so close that there was no more awkwardness and stiffness between us. Who would have thought that incident after incident could neatly wrap the hearts of my classmates.

For my father, this was the first time he saw my friends who were so crowded and seemed so concerned. Many times Dad looked at them one by one who was teasing me, then Dad smiled.

When the friends left me with their jokes, Dad approached me and whispered, "You did Sarah. The first time you were in this city, you had absolutely no friends. But now, take a look! You have everything. You're a great kid, Sarah," Dad said, rubbing my head gently and it made me smile and almost shed tears because Dad was right.

This is like the reciprocity God gave me. Yeah .. They're like gifts in my dark life. If you remember it is impossible for something like this to happen and the most beautiful gift in my life is Feli, Rian and Rio.

"Om, if Om wants to take a break, just take a break. Let Mia, Sila and friends take care of Sarah before Feli and Rian come here."

"Alright .. I understand. Then, um say yes to go home."

"Okay Om, just leave Sarah to us. We will not leave him and will always look after him before Feli and Rian come" Kenzie said in his song style.

"Ha ha ha ha." He laughed and looked very happy. From a distance not too far away, I kept looking at Father's brilliant eyes with his face flushed red. Maybe you're the same as me who didn't think something like this would happen.

Dad sat back in his wheelchair. Assisted by Mr. Anto, Dad moved to leave the treatment room. But when Dad just arrived at the door, suddenly many middle-aged men and women greeted Dad and asked permission to visit me.

"Sorry, is this really Sarah's nursery?"

"He's right and I'm Sarah's father."

"What a coincidence, then we meet here. Can we go see Sarah, sir?" ask one of the senior lecturers kindly and politely.

Dad looked at all, about 10 people lined up about to enter my treatment room as if they wanted to attack me. But it was impossible because their faces were so friendly. Father said in his heart.

Shortly, from the back. Ms. Marisa followed to the front row and greeted Dad very familiarly. "Do you remember me?" ma'am Marisa asked as she extended her hand to Dad (to shake hands).

"You, Miss Marisa?" ask Dad. "Yes, of course I remember. All right, then I'll come in. Let me take you to Sarah's place" Dad said kindly as he walked back to the treatment room.

Actually, this room is quite spacious. But if coupled with the number of friends and senior lecturers, it certainly makes a tightness in my chest. Therefore, the friends decided to get out of the room and let the senior lecturers to visit me.

"Sarah, we wait outside huh. If there is anything, do not forget to shout," said Kenzi who seemed to suspect a group of lecturers who had never come down directly to visit his students who were sick.

This is because there are other friends who also see the events that occur on campus and it makes them anxious with the presence of the lecturers.

Father who did not come home and continued to accompany me with Mr. Anto tried to understand the situation well. I read every sentence from them, from the moment the senior lecturer thanked me and told Dad about the events from the first time the campus was founded to the painful tragedy of last night.

The senior lecturer also apologized to Dad because I was also one of the victims last night. In addition, for the help and cooperation of Sarah and her friends, the campus will give awards in the form of scholarships and also waivers for tuition fees until the end. Not just me, but Feli, Rian and brother Rio as well.

In addition, they will also bear the cost of my Hospital until I am completely healed and he told Dad that he was very grateful and helped by my efforts and friends.

Then they also said that they are very proud to have brave student students and have useful knowledge like me and other friends.

The meeting ended with a smile. About 1 hour in my treatment room, finally the lecturers asked for permission to go home, except Ms. Marisa and at that time Ms. Marisa said that she still wanted to stay in this room.

The other lecturer watched Ms. Marisa's words carefully. Maybe they can see a pretty meaningful closeness between me and Ms. Marisa.

"I want to talk to Sarah about our business at the orphanage because we have started fundraising and providing assistance to these children for the last 1 year or so," ma'am Marisa said to the white-headed senior lecturer and they understood it.

"Pak Ardi, if you want to go home, go ahead. Let me be here to keep Sarah in light discussions" Ms. Marisa said with a charming smile.

"Well then and if there's anything please contact me immediately!"

"Well Mr. Ardi, of course."

"Sarah, I'm going home first."

"Yes Dad, Mr. Antok, be careful."

Father and Mr. Antok immediately left the room. Shortly after, the other friends entered the treatment room and they were quite surprised to see the face of Ms. Marisa who usually sangar now looks very loving.

"Mrs Marisa?" greeting Kenzi who since last month always pay attention to Ms. Marisa who according to him changed completely. It was because of the change in appearance of Ms. Marisa, which is from a very scary appearance until now like an angel

"It's kids, please come in! You can join us, right?" ma'am Marisa asked with a friendly-looking expression and it made the other friends feel comfortable and they all smiled.

Ms. Marisa is chatting with Mia and other friends. While Kenzie and 2 other friends immediately approached me and asked about Ms. Marisa who changed her attitude and appearance.

I told them that what they saw right now was the real Ms. Marisa. While the previous one, has to do with the deceit of the jinn.

They began to understand me and the words I said. If there were usually a lot of bad prejudices, as well as negative thoughts to me, but not anymore. Even my friends seem to think I'm special.

It made me feel like they were no longer making me a mockery or months. I hope that in the future, things will get better and this relationship can be maintained.

"Mom, I also want to participate in the orphanage business. Can you, Mom?" ask Kenzi and the rest of the friends as they approach Ms. Marisa.

"of course. The more the better. So the work is getting lighter."

"Take it."

The clock has shown at 12:30 WIB (half day). I told my friends and Miss Marisa to fill their stomachs so they wouldn't empty and hurt. But they were very hesitant to leave me because they promised Dad. But I told them all, that it doesn't matter if you guys don't take too long.

Ms. Marisa told friends that we should have lunch here only and quite a few of us went out to order rice packs. So we can have lunch together while looking after Sarah.

All of Ms. Marisa's words sounded logical so some friends decided to buy some packaged rice and enjoy it together in this room. So they don't have to leave me alone.

5 Hours passed after friends and Ms. Marisa ate their lunch. Not only them, but me and Ms. Marisa did not hesitate to give me a bribe from the food she ordered, until the time Feli and Rian came to the hospital to take turns looking after me.

Right now in the room there is only me, Feli and also Rian. Rian said that Brother Rio will come to see me later tonight with Papa and also his mother, if they are not idle and it makes me happy.

Maghrib prayer time has arrived. Feli and Rian took turns to take ablution, shortly as Feli took ablution, which was, a nurse came into the room and said that there was an important prescription to be taken because it had to be injected immediately tonight into my infusion bottle.

Rian said yes and he would go to the picket room immediately after the Maghrib prayer and it was approved by the nurse who came into my room.

Finished the maghrib prayer, Rian went straight to the nursing room to pick up the prescription injectable medicine that will be used tonight. While Feli was preparing warm tea for me.

Five minutes passed, Feli was still turning on the gallon water to get hot. But for some reason, the longer I felt Feli's body getting further away from my body. But I couldn't call or say Feli's name so he quickly ran towards me. It was as if my mouth was locked and my body was stiff.

Before long, I heard a voice like someone was cutting a cloth on the right side of a pillow on my bed. I glanced at him because I couldn't look.

At that moment, I saw my hands with their sharp, wiggly nails, marching into my right eye, as if to pierce, gouge and pull them out.

Allahu Akbar .. said me in my heart because I am very confident in what I see, even if only in the form of eye glances. I really can't move and I can only move.

Not long, just seconds. Suddenly the hand that looked scary with the burn was right above my eyes in a grasping position. It seemed like he could no longer bear to destroy both of my eyes. But just as he was about to lower his grip, suddenly from the left, Datuk dagang landed his hand forcefully until his body was like a tumble back through my care bed.

A huge roar rang out very clearly in my ears, greeted with a hysterical cry that seemed to be in a lot of pain. But I couldn't see who was actually screaming in pain. I just hope Datuk Belang is doing well.

Cold sweat poured out from above my forehead and I could feel it well. That means I am not in a state of fantasy or hallucination, let alone dreaming.

Before long, Feli touched my left shoulder and said that the warm tea was ready and I sat down, then looked at the white hospital floor. But when I saw it, there was a black spot like the rest of the old side oil from the motor matic.

Feli was confused and asked what was going on, but I did not answer him and just managed to stumble my breath. I'm so worried because I can't see the dappled Datuk at the moment.

But when I turned to the left (to the left corner of the room), it turned out Datuk was already there with his upright body and sharp eyes, sharp, like watching and watching the whole room where I rested.

"Feli, where's the tea?" my question was trying to distract the eyes of Feli who was fixed on me.

"This. Sarah, are you sure it's okay?" asked Feli once again who was suspicious of me and I just nodded my head while sipping warm tea made by Feli. "Don't hide anything from me. Remember that!"

"Yes, Feli."
