“Iya, if it comes. If not, how? You want to stay here?” Ardy tease. Despite the doubts, the girl finally complied. A moment later the luxury car had already left the school gate. Highways are never empty of various vehicles. A hot afternoon with a roasting heat, making some pedestrians prefer bus stops and groves of trees to just shelter. But there are still many who do not care so much about the weather conditions so rare, such as beggars who are willing to sun themselves while begging on the side of the road hoping for mercy from users of the sidewalk that passes through it. It is not a strange sight anymore that can be seen in a big city like Jakarta. Most of those who choose the profession of being a beggar as a livelihood are urbanites who come from far away with reckless souls. Without skills first.
That's Jakarta. A dream place for those who hope to dredge wealth from the glittering world of the capital. But sometimes reality is not as beautiful as a dream.
The vehicle stopped. Traffic light is on. The hawkers scatter over to the vehicles while offering merchandise.
Rezky started fussing because of the heat. The boy was busy fanning the textbooks to just get a breath of fresh air. Sweat was pouring down from the boy's forehead. “Gedein AC, Mang!” sahut Ardy on Mang Sapri.
“It's full, Den.”
Ardy felt the air in the vehicle was cold. But why was his sister suddenly such a heat? Ardy felt sorry and accidentally opened the window of the vehicle. Notably, there was a lot of air blowing mixed with the heat of the hot paved streets that were roasted by the sun.
Suddenly from the open car window, a creepy-faced man with a muddy outfit challenged the unpleasant scent. The figure noticed Rezky with a strange look in his eyes. Ardy just gawked in shock and was amazed by the appearance of the slum and the smell of the man.
“Bag the kid! He'll be made into a fucking demon! Watch him!” exclaimed the man while pointing at Rezky.
The youngest child screamed in fear. Sapri tried to calm down.
It's strange!
It seemed that no one on the buttocks and also the other vehicle users who were stopping there, turned to look at the seedy man.
“Get him from the devil to mislead it!” yelled the slum guy again.
The entire vehicle was astonished and frightened. Ardy came out of the car window and pushed the man's body backwards. “Go, Don't bother, my sister! Go there! You crazy man!” yell Ardy hard.
Coinciding with that, the traffic light had already turned green. Mang Sapri immediately hit the gas until the vehicle tires screamed loudly leaving a black stain on the asphalt. The luxury car quickly left the place.
The man ran to the side of the road and kept screaming.
Ardy glanced at Rezky, then turned back to the man standing. But the figure was no longer in its original place.
Ardy. Though he only briefly switched glances between Rezky and the slum man earlier. The figure is no longer visible.
It's strange!
Ardy immediately moved closer to Rezky and hugged his sister tightly. The child's body felt cold with a paled face. Perhaps because of the overwhelming fear he felt.
“Quiet, yes, Honey! There's a Brother here!” said Ardy quietly while tightening his embrace on Rezky's body. Sarah and Nola were both terrified. Nola tightens her body against Sarah's side. While Mang Sapri accelerates the speed of the vehicle to quickly arrive at home.
Arriving in front of the house, Ardy immediately holds his sister's weakened body. “Please tell Mama!” exclaim Ardy panicked at Mang Sapri.
“Mrs! Nya... Mistress!” sahut Mang Sapri's.
No response from the room. A few times, the results remain the same. The door was not open and there was no answer from inside.
Nola came to open the door to her mother's room. Mang Sapri looked inside for a moment. Looks like Mrs Amanda is lying down like she's in a deep sleep.
“Mama! Wake up, Ma!” nola shouted as she patted her mother's arm. Mistress Amanda's eyes slowly opened, staring blankly at the ceiling of the room.
“Yes, God! What happened to me?” madam Amanda's murmuring is trying to restore consciousness.
“Ma ... “ call Nola next to it. Lady Amanda looked over. “Nola, what's up, Honey?” lady Amanda asked, astonished to see her daughter crying.
“Rezky, Mom! Rezky!”
“What's with Rezky?”
“Rezky fainted.”
“Yes, Lord!” Madam Amanda was shocked and immediately rushed down from her bed. Just a few steps away, Madam Amanda's body immediately staggered and fell to the floor.
“Yes, God! Madam,“ exclaimed Mang Sapri rushed to his female employer.
“Mama!” nola screams while roaring in tears at her mother.
Lady Amanda tried to get up, but was powerless to stand up. “Please, help me stand up, Mang!” madam Amanda's voice on Mang Sapri. The young man was holding his master's body. But because of this request to be made, Mang Sapri could not refuse.
With all his might, Mang Sapri helped Madame Amanda up and walked slowly towards Rezky's room, followed by Nola while still crying.
There were loud noises coming from the front room, Mbok Inah and Mang Kurdi who were in the kitchen, immediately running over. They saw Rezky lying on the bed unconscious.
“Rezky, my son, darling!”exclaim Mrs Amanda is weak.
Ardy turned his head and was surprised to see his mother who staggered on Mang Sapri's boat. “Mama why?” asked Ardy surprised.
Lady Amanda did not care about the question of her eldest son, because his attention was only on the figure of Rezky who was lying with a pale face. The middle-aged woman immediately hugged Rezky's body and cried bitterly. Wrap the boy's hair lovingly. “Quick, call the doctor! Call Papa to get home quickly!” ms. Amanda panicked.
Ardy immediately ran into the living room. Precisely to call his family doctor and also Mr. Karyadi, his papa.
Mbok Inah came with cold water to compress Rezky's forehead. The whole body of the boy was cold.
“Doctor's coming soon, Ma. Papa has also been told,” said Ardy as soon as he appeared at the door of the room.
Miss Amanda's still crying.
