The Child Of A Maid
Chapter 5
On a bright sunny day, Rilia played with her duckling in the backyard alone, Rilia played with a small knife to cut the grass as a cooking ingredient that afternoon.
Rilia was so focused on her toys and the duckling was also near Rilia even sleeping on Rilia's feet, actually Rilia felt so amused because of that, but she ignored him and still resumed cooking her dishes.
Accidentally his hand scratched by the knife to the point of spitting out a lot of blood, Rilia was so panicked when she saw her hand that was full of blood at the moment, she did not know what to do, she did not know, pain began to cover the wound.
Suddenly the duckling immediately sucked his blood and ate the blood dripping on the ground, Rilia who saw it could only stand still but even so her hands also felt so sick.
"Eh why Titi ate that! it's blood". Panic Rilia saw her duckling began to drain the blood on the ground.
Rilia had never seen a duckling eating blood, much less it was her own blood, but after that the wound began to bleed no more.
Rilia could see that the incision was so deep in her index finger, she complained about what she had experienced to her mother, and at that moment her mother immediately looked for a handsaplas to bandage the wound in Rilia's hand.
The pain in his index finger was so painful due to the incision is quite deep, he was almost able to see his own bone because of the deep horn of the wound.
The wound symbolizes his life, how hard to treat it, it will heal but not with the scar, it will be very difficult to treat the scar rather than treat the wound.
Rilia cried when her hands were treated by her mother, because of the pain she felt, after which Rilia was completely unwilling to move her left hand because her injured finger was so deep.
*****
A few days later Rilia had a high fever, her mother was so confused because the fever experienced by Rilia continued to increase over time, her body temperature was getting hotter.
Rilia felt so cold but her body felt so hot, her head was also so dizzy and she felt her head was very heavy to lift.
Even when he was sick, his parents were still fighting, Rilia who heard the quarrel between her parents could only cry in silence, a sense of tightness enveloped her chest, and she was still in pain, even in pain, he cried without a sound.
"Why are Mom and Dad fighting again? are they not dear to Rilia, Rilia's father is sick but why do you still want to hurt Rilia too? Rilia's mother is sad do you still want to continue your quarrel?". Guman Rilia slowly carried her pillow and blanket.
Several times he wiped away the dripping tears, even in a state of pain, the wounds he felt were much more painful than what he was currently experiencing.
"Dad, Mother, until when are you going to continue like this every night? are you guys going to keep this up until Rilia dies though?".
Although Rilia was still 9 years old, but Rilia was so hated when she saw her parents fighting especially in front of her, she did not feel at all what family happiness was, what is family affection, and even he did not know it at all.
Indeed it looks like normal, but for children who have experienced such things since childhood will be the biggest trauma for him, especially when he sees his parents playing violence.
Because his sobs made Rilia cough up a cough that was so painful, as a result Rilia vomited up so that the pain got worse, all her stomach came out just like that because of the vomit.
"Rilia why are you, son?". His mother immediately ran towards Rilia who was so limp after vomiting.
Rilia was unable to answer her mother's words because her body was so limp, even to let out a voice so difficult for her, her mother immediately embraced Rilia's body whose heat exceeded normal limits.
Rilia's head was so dizzy as if the entire contents of her room floated in her head, Rilia felt comfortable in her mother's arms, felt warm and the distinctive smell of her mother's body could calm her heart and mind.
Rilia was unconscious in the arms of her mother, whether it was fainting or sleeping both equally made Rilia unconscious, and even her mother's call was no longer able to be heard by her.
With the land of his mother put Rilia back to sleep while giving eucalyptus oil to warm the body of his son who was closing his eyes.
*****
the next morning Rilia woke up from her sleep, but her body felt a chill that was so deep as if cold air had penetrated her body to penetrate her bone.
His breath felt so hot at every gust that came out of his nose, Rilia was so limp with both of her eyes that I sucked as if she would endure extreme pain.
This time the pain was not only because of the fever he experienced, but because his family quarrels were getting hotter than before as if the house had lost its peace for so long.
His eyes seemed to be hot if it continued to open, so Rilia decided to keep her eyes closed until the pain she felt was slightly less than before.
But out of expectations, his mother immediately took Rilia to the nearest packing station to check, because her father was busy working so her mother painstakingly carried Rilia to look for public transportation.
The distance between Rilia's house and the highway is approximately 1 kilometer, because 9-year-old Rilia makes her mother so difficult to carry her, but his mother never gave up on bringing her son to the pack to get help.
Even though his mother's body felt so exhausted, his mother did not complain at all because of that, for the sake of a child anything would be done by his Mother, he said, however, the bond between the child and the mother is much stronger than the bond between the child and the father.
"Mother, Rilia, do you care? let Rilia walk, Rilia is still able to do so". Said Rilia on her mother's back.
"No papa, I'm still strong, Rilia is still sick".
"But Rilia can't see Mom keep going like this, put Rilia down, Rilia is still able to walk Mom".
"Mother ngak papa Nak, Rilia just sleep carried by Mother, soon we will reach the highway kok".
Rilia put her chin to her mother's shoulder, her mother could feel the heat released by the body of the little girl who was carrying it, the air was so stinging accompanied by the morning sun was so bright.
To reach the highway, both of them had to pass the river first, his mother walked so slowly afraid of slipping anyway Rilia was still in her hand at this time, with great effort his mother was able to pass through the river despite the thorns that stuck in his legs so that he let out fresh blood.
"Mother put Rilia down now". Rilia tested her tears soaked her mother's shoulders, she could not bear to see the blood of her mother dripping down the rice field streets.
Although Rilia was unable to see her mother's face, but Rilia was sure that her mother was involved in so much pain, even without saying Rilia could feel sweat seeping out on her face and neck.
The sweat slowly soaked Rilia's hands, Rilia who felt the sweat droplets trying to strengthen herself even though she was still in a state that was so weak.
Suddenly his body temperature began to decline and sweat along the journey, not long before the two finally reached the edge of the highway, but his mother did not see any public transportation that passed there.
His mother dropped Rilia on the side of the road and leaned against the village gate, after which her mother walked to the edge of the highway to find public transportation that would take them to the puskemas.
"I have to be strong for my mother".
Rilia clasped her hands tightly, she did not want to see her mother in distress anymore just to take her to the nearest pusket from that place, because at that time the village is still rare people who have a motorcycle so that the majority of the village is mostly on foot, ontel bikes, and public transportation.
After waiting for quite a long time finally there was a red public transport passing in front of the village gate, Ms. Rilia immediately rushed to stop it. Seeing his mother who tried to stop the transportation, Rilia also tried to get up from her seat and walked towards her mother was.
Rilia felt that the land around her seemed to be swaying so fast, foothold for the sake of the footing Rilia did for the sake of getting closer to the Mother, even in these circumstances though, it is not an obstacle for Rilia to keep trying and trying.
Seeing the public transport stop, making his mother immediately turn to where Rilia was before, he was so surprised when he saw his son was already in a few steps from him.
Her mother unceremoniously carried Rilia and put her in the angkot, after both of them were already on public transport, Rilia immediately leaned her head against her mother's chest which was so comfortable for Rilia to rest.
"To pack sir!!". Said Rilia's mother to the angkot driver and was replied by a nod.
Rilia felt dizzy and felt that made Rilia feel that she was swaying around, as if an earthquake was going to happen for her.
Not long after they finally arrived at the puskesmas, his mother immediately helped Rilia to sit in the queue seat while his mother immediately rushed to the counter to queue, because the length of the journey made the blood on his feet his mother had dried up.
"I'm proud to have a Mother like you, I don't care what anyone says, My mother is the best Mother I have, she's the only treasure I've ever had, now and forever". Guman Rilia who saw his mother was waiting in line in the distance.
Just for the sake of taking him to the health center, his mother was willing to do anything so that his son was healed quickly even though he had to drip blood because of it, the wound he had on his leg was not at all a barrier for him so that his son was healthy again.
His mother felt sad when the child who was always cheerful every day and always made himself angry angry suddenly became weak because of pain, he wanted his son to return cheerful as before.
My mother is my God-sent to me, only for me, to take care of me and I am a little angel whom God sends to make her happy, no more glorious sacrifice than a mother willing to give birth, breastfeeding, and raising her daughter's son.
Although in a state of tired, sick, and sad though, Mother did not want her child to know about it, actually her mother also did not want to fight in front of Rilia, Rilia, but because their house was so simple that it was easy to hear by Rilia from outside the house though.
Not long later it was finally the release turn to be checked, because Rilia's body temperature had started to fall so that Rilia did not need to be hospitalized, the doctor gave several prescription drugs to Rilia.
Actually Rilia was nervous because of the many drugs given by the doctor, Rilia was unable to take medicine other than being mashed, so Rilia had to feel the bitterness of the medicine.
After coming out of the puskesmas, Rilia felt that the ground she was incandescent had begun to slightly decrease in vibration, so that she was able to walk longer than before.
"Mom, Rilia can walk on her own right?". Rilia said with pleasure.
"Rilia is healed?".
"Have Ma'am, the ground was no longer shaking as before".
"Alhamdulillah, Rilia finally recovered".
His mother was so happy to see Rilia who was walking beside him despite the slow land, before a long time later there was finally public transportation that passed in front of them, Rilia and her mother immediately entered the angkot to their home.
Mom after arriving home, make Rilia a cake yes Mom, Rilia arrived to eat the green cake". Said Rilia in the street while imagining how good the cake was.
"Yes, son, later I make Special Rilia, Rilia do not get sick again yes, later Mommy is sad".
"Yes Mom, thank you Mom".
On the way Rilia continued to lean her head on her mother's chest while continuing to tell about the delicious cake that she imagined, inexplicably arrived Rilia felt like she wanted to eat the cake immediately.
The cake made by Ibuuny is the most delicious according to Rilia, Rilia does not want to buy a cake, precisely what Rilia wants is a cake made by her mother that is always made by her mother when Rilia wants to eat cake.
Not long after they finally arrived in front of the gate of his village, Rilia immediately came down from the angkot with help from the mother.
"Rilia doesn't want to be carried anymore, Rilia can still walk by herself Mom".
"Surely you want to walk alone?".
"Yes Ma'am, Rilia is a strong child, Rilia has also grown up".
"Yes, Mother's son is the strongest, and most dear Mother".
Rilia was so happy when she was praised by the Mother, however Rilia did not want to see her mother cape'an again to carry her, besides the road they would take was also quite far.
Rilia tried to be okay in front of her mother, she did not want to make her mother have to carry her again, not only because she was afraid that her mother was tired, but Rilia also did not have the heart because her mother's legs were injured because of the thorns in the river.
