The Child Of A Maid

Chapter 7

Rilia woke up from her deep sleep this morning, she felt something familiar, when Rilia saw that a compress had been approved, Rilia immediately took it and removed it from her forehead.

Rilia then rose from her sleep, her throat felt so hot and Rilia wanted to drink water in the morning, after Rilia stood up Rilia felt that the earth was shaking so that it made Rilia fall back in her bed.

"There's an earthquake!". Said Rilia while looking at the surroundings.

Hearing Rilia's words made her mother immediately examine her and enter Rilia's room, her mother was surprised when she saw Rilia was already lying on the floor of her room.

"What's Rilia? why sleep on the floor? let's get up, sleep in my bed, kid".

"There was an earthquake ma'am".

"No earthquake, son, let's get up, don't sleep on the floor like that".

"I feel the world sway Mom, Rilia is scared".

"Maybe you're dizzy, son, here there's no earthquake, let's get up don't sleep on the floor later the more severe the pain".

Rili immediately got up from her sleep by holding her mother's hand tightly, Rilia could feel that the entire contents of her canal were spinning around her head, after she could no longer stand up, Rilia dropped her body in her bedroom.

"Mother take a meal first, after that take the medicine son".

"I don't want the cure Mom, is Rilia cured why should I take the medicine again?".

"Your body was so hot last night, son, ngigau call me Mom".

"really? what did I say, Mom?".

"You said, 'Mom don't go, Mom don't go, ' so son, when I see in your room, you have a very hot body already like a stove".

"Rilia is fine, ma'am, maybe yesterday was just a nightmare".

"What dream is it, son?".

"Rilia forgot Mom".

"Yes, I've prepared a meal first, let's have another nightmare, I'm very worried son if you get hot again".

"Yes Mom".

His mother then left Rilia's room to get him to eat, while Rilia who remained in the room was only a hunch to keep quiet while remembering the nightmare she had tonight, but he did not remember it at all, after waking up all the memories of his dream instantly disappeared and disappeared.

Not long after his mother entered his room while bringing food for Rilia, Rilia immediately ate it despite the slight nausea but it did not prevent her throat to heal.

After eating Rilia immediately drank the sugar and went back to sleep without taking her medicine, when her mother went into her room she was surprised because the medicine was not taken by Rilia at all.

His mother immediately woke Rilia, but there was no response from him long enough, after a long time to wake her finally Rilia woke up also from her sleep.

"What's wrong, ma'am?". Asked Rilia who was a little hoarse from waking up from her sleep.

"Why are you, son? Why do you wake up as you normally do? Let's go to the pack again mumpung still morning". Said his mother worriedly.

"Rilia does not papa kok Bu, just sleepy, the proof is that Rilia can still breathe?". Rilia asked her mother.

His mother immediately hugged Rilia's body, while Rilia immediately threw herself into the embrace, the embrace was so warm for Rilia, Rilia felt very comfortable in the embrace.

"I'm sorry Mom, I can't afford to be a good parent to Rilia, don't ever say anything like that again that makes Mom feel sad, son".

"Rilia will never leave Mother, Mother is the only person who has always been kind to Rilia".

Rilia turned to her mother's face and saw a tear in her mother's eyes, Rilia immediately wiped her mother's tears that almost fell on her cheeks.

"Mother do not cry, sorry Rilia, said Mr. Ustadz if I cry because of Rilia, later Rilia sinned for making Mother cry, sorry Rilia, Rilia was ready to receive punishment from Mother, later Rilia sinned for making Mother cry, but Rilia begs me not to cry". Said Rilia while hugging her Mother tightly.

"Rilia is a good boy, I love Rilia very much".

Her mother immediately wiped her own tears so that Rilia did not become sad because of it, Rilia immediately took the medicine that had been mashed and provided by her mother before without any coercion from the mother.

It made her mother smile back, although so actually Rilia was very disgusted with the taste of the medicine, the bitterness inflicted by the medicine made her slightly nauseous because the bitterness would last so long when coming into contact with the tongue.

After taking her medicine, Rilia went back to sleep to relieve the nausea she felt as a result of the drug, it could only be understood by her mother, after Rilia had fallen asleep very fast, Her mother immediately left the room to let Rilia rest.

Rilia woke up from her sleep when she felt someone touching her feet while being massaged by the person, when Rilia woke up the first figure she saw was a middle-aged woman figure that Rilia recognized as a traveling masseuse.

Rilia had never before felt her name being massaged now began to feel it, when she was massaged Rilia continued to scream in pain because of the massage, not just her legs, but her legs, but throughout his body also massaged by the masseur.

For about an hour, Rilia continued to endure the pain of the massage by closing her mouth to not scream anymore, and holding back her tears from falling, she said, but there were still tears in his eyes.

Not long ago Rilia finally closed her eyes to reduce the pain caused by the massage, but she was still able to hear the conversation between her mother and the middle-aged woman.

"Where's Mbah? Is there a sprain or something else?". Ask Ms. Rilia to the middle-aged woman.

"There's nothing wrong with the veins, everything is fine kok Nak, if you see this child is experiencing inner pressure Nak, preferably for the next few days let him calm down first".

"Inner pressure?".

"Yes, my son, it does not hurt his physical, but his mind is injured, preferably for a while avoid something that will hurt his mind, such as family quarrels, problems with his peers, etc, or whatever it is best avoided first".

"Yes Mbah, I will try to do my best for Rilia".

"So Mbah pamit first, there are still many patients who want to massage".

"Let's Mbah, I'll take you forward".

His mother immediately delivered the middle-aged woman to his house, Rilia began to open her eyes again, she did not understand what the two men were saying.

"What is inner pressure". Guman Rilia.

Rilia closed her eyes again to rest her body in pain so as soon as possible to recover, she did not want to make her mother continue to worry about her condition like this.

(Author: whatever I do, if my mother is happy)

"Well, is it because my husband and I fight so much that our son is like that?". Ask Rilia's mother.

"It could be that, son, I feel that something is hidden by your son, it might be his little wish that you guys don't fight anymore".

The middle-aged woman was not an ordinary person, she was able to read anyone's mind, let alone to read the minds of a little child like Rilia, it was an easy thing for him because the little ones liked toys very much but not by snapping and so on.

"But me, I can't promise that, Mbah, while my husband doesn't care about my feelings as his wife at all".

"But if you keep going like this, it's also not good for your own child, are you more concerned with your ego than your own child? Do you want to destroy your own mental child?".

"No Mbah, I will try my best for Rilia".

"If it's like that, never fight in front of your child, it can cause his mental weakness, and lead to loss of life if long like that, he said, because for him life is no longer meaningful if you have to see his parents fight continuously".

"Yes Mbah".

The middle-aged woman immediately said goodbye from Rilia's house, her mother pensive herself in front of her door because of the words thrown by the middle-aged woman to her.

If you think again, it is true also thought Rilia's mother, she does not want to lose her child, let alone the condition of Rilia getting worse and worse by the day according to her.

*****

In the afternoon Rilia woke up from her sleep, she felt her body was so light than before, Rilia immediately got up from her sleep and walked over to look for her mother.

"Mom!". Call Rilia but there is no word from her mother.

Rilia walked around her house looking for her mother but she did not see the slightest sign of her mother in the house, Rilia immediately sat in the guest room of her house to wait for her mother to come.

"Where is mom? Why aren't you home? I'm bored".

Rilia slept in the chair while looking at the clock of the wall that continues to spin in the wall of her house, the house was so quiet that the sound of the detikan wall clock could be heard so loud in the ear of Rilia.

Not long after her mother came with a bag of plastic in her right hand, Rilia immediately woke up from her sleep and welcomed her mother who came.

"Where's mom from?". Rilia asked enthusiastically.

"It's Rilia's favorite chocolate-flavored bakpao, right?". Said his mother while thrusting the bakpao.

"Thank Ma'am". Rilia immediately received the pouch and took out its contents.

The Bakpao still feels so hot because it just came out of the seller's pot, it looks so good for Rilia, without the stale alkali Rilia immediately enjoy the delicious still hot bakpao.

"Where is Rilia?".

"Rilia is cured Mom, tomorrow Rilia wants to go to school, Rilia wants to play with friends, Rilia is bored just sleeping at home".

Rilia is an active child in playing, it is very difficult to stop her from stepping, so sleeping at home is a boring thing for Rilia, Rilia wanted to play with her friends and do things that would make people angry with her.

Rilia misses the screams of the other residents because of her mischief, let alone someone who chases after her and wants to beat her up to her home.

"Kalo Rilia is really healed, Rilia can really go to school again".

"Yes ma'am, how are you friends, have not seen them for a long time".

"Sony came here, wanted to invite you to play, but Mom said you were still sick".

"Sony here? Why didn't you wake me?".

"No, you're still sick, how about he if you keep playing, now Rilia has a lot of rest do not play mulu".

"Step, pity him, he wants to fuck me".

"Rilia must heal first can play, must obey Mom!".

"Yes yes Mother, Rilia will obey Mom, but if Rilia has healed Rilia can be naughty again?".

"Rilia can't be a bad boy".

"Rilia wants to play with friends downstairs again, fishing in the river, taking mangoes in the trees of others, and more".

"Rilia must heal first, a lot of rest so she can play with her friends again".

Rilia nodded her head in agreement with that, Rilia also wanted to recover as soon as possible so that she could play again with her friend downstairs.

Tonight Rilia went through with her peace because there was no longer a family quarrel in her home so that made Rilia feel happy, because her happiness made Rilia recover quickly.

Rilia actually did not know what was going on in her house this time, as if this had never happened by itself without a request from her, but this time was different, but this time it was different, because Rilia's thinking was still childish so she did not pay attention to it in more detail.

The peace that he dreamed of finally happened, it made Rilia recover from her illness quickly, so that she was able to go back to school and play with her friends again.

*****

Days later Rilia was at home, after she recovered from her illness, Rilia again behaved mischievously and liked to make her neighbors do not hesitate to scold her like this time.

One of Rilia's closest neighbors came to her house feeling so angry with Rilia, Rilia was only able to hide behind her mother's back because she was frightened by the anger.

"Sir, please yes the child is said, because the child of the Cockfighters I died all!!". Shouted that person while scolding Rilia.

"Rilia is not wrong Auntie!". Denied Rilia who was angry like that.

"Who's fault? Can the chicks hang themselves on a tree? If it wasn't for you tying it up! Just hatched already you kill it, you think asserting chicks is easy!". Said the person while gritting his teeth to Rilia.

This morning Rilia did the thing that either made people laugh or angry the two were able to combine into one, laughing because only Rilia was able to do that to the chicks of her neighbors, which belonged to her, and angry that many of the chicks died tragically, their necks hanging from trees without mercy.

No one was able to do that except for Rilia who dared to catch a chicken belonging to her neighbor and hang it in front of her house, her mother was not able to say anything else to defend Rilia, because in this case Rilia was also wrong.

Indeed the tree is not too high, but Rilia was able to climb it because she really likes to climb trees.
