Choosing to stay at home, accompany the mother who looked weak that morning. While Rizon went to the cage and dad had already left for the office.
"Mother, eat first ya.." said me while carrying a tray containing my Manado porridge. Porridge complete with fragrant lemongrass leaf-scented vegetables.
"The smell is good" the mother replied as she rose to change her sleeping position to lean. I helped her by adding a pillow on her back.
"Mom try yes." while pointing a spoon filled with food to his mouth.
"Dear boy.."the praise makes me happy.
"Too good means it has to run out yeah." My God smiled at him
I smiled at the bowl that only had a few spoons left. Which means I eat a lot.
"Several times making mom food never disappoints. The food you make includes the first new food you eat. This example of porridge, I don't think that the taste is amazing if added spices and others" The woman didn't stop praising me.
"Mother must recover quickly so that the meaning is not limited."
"Now taking Yaghh's medicine" I continued, taking my mother's medicines on the table.
***
I slowly walked out of my mother's room. Minimizing the sound that can make him wake up.
I was really surprised by Rizon's presence at the door.
"Okay ghost just know, make a shock" I said in shock
"When will she arrive??? I'm asleep, don't be noisy" while pulling Rizon's hand away from the room.
Dining table is available food. Mbok Inah has arranged it neatly.
"Have you eaten?"
"Not yet" I replied as I sat facing him flipping the plate in front of me
"Sister, when are we going home?" I asked a little doubt. Instantly he stopped his bribe.
"Are you bored?"
"It's not that..."
"Trus what dong?" The next thing needs an explanation
"Yes, I ate it first" I diverted by scooping the rice onto the plate.
He looked at me without continuing to eat.
"So, I haven't answered my sister's question."
"Just think, if we go home how with mom"
"Tomorrow big brother came home" he replied a little anger.
I who do not like the answer to that recounted the intention to eat. My appetite was gone. Feeling sinful I threw away the food on my side, washed it, leaving it still on the table.
"People really think it's weird. Adek was really worried that there was no meaning to anything.." I was annoyed to enter the room.
Without hindering me Rizon just kept quiet. I don't know what he's thinking right now.
***
Until I heard the sound of my father's car parked in a garage that indicated it was late afternoon. Rizon didn't come to see me, either. Something strange and unusual. I went out of the room and took a glass of water and immediately gulped it down.
From the front door looks Rizon with a medium-sized paper bag in her hand.
Unknowingly and looking at me he headed for my mother's room. And I was in the room too. But there are doubts about going into that room. I chose to go back to Caca's room but my mind is still in my mother's room.
"So." a warm touch grasping my hand made me open my eyes. Closing eyes but not sleeping.
"Eat first well, from earlier adek have not eaten. It'll hurt again" Rizon kept her tone very much.
"So, you're not hungry, brother.later if you're hungry, you'll have to eat by yourself." Refuse me subtly
"Adek is still angry with brother?"
My silence was enough to make him understand that I was still upset with him.
"Sorry sister. ahir-ahir this brother can not hold back. brother confused deck. adek see for yourself the condition of the mother is getting weaker and brother thought his request is very difficult for brother to grant."
"More in the near future something is not possible" he continued, staring at the white floor.
"What request would make a sister like this???"
The tall man took a very long breath, a sign that it was difficult to express.
"Mother wants sister to get married, that's her last request" slowly but clearly enough in my ear.
Quietly, that's all I can do. What I heard was not wrong.
"Why the journey can be this complicated" I wrote in my heart.
"Dankkkk.." I shouted quite loudly.
"Prepare the car, we're at the hospital" he appeared to sweat while holding his unmoved mother.
I took the bag held by Mbok Inah is none other than mother's bag.
Without saying much, the car drove away from home to the nearest hospital. While on the way dad contacted the doctor who used to handle the mother.
Some nurses with push mattresses were waiting in the hospital lobby. Lagsung's mother was brought in an IGD chamber to perform an examination.
Dad seems to have been used to dealing with this kind of thing. But Rizon though has often still looked frightened on his face.
"Mother will be fine, brother.." I persuaded him.
Her red eyes could not hide her sadness. His grasp so tightly showed his fear over the state of motherhood.
***
The night before, the condition of the mother has not made any progress.
"You are now coming home. Tomorrow I can change. Kasian Nina dank.." said father slowly.
"Kabarin if mom's dead"
"Yeah.dad will tell the development of the mother."
With the weight of our hearts we carry
Feet to the parking lot. Still in silence.
"Why you should look at this situation. Ngajak adek home want to be able to enjoy the holidays, brain negerefresh. Instead it became like a gini" he said regretfully
"Don't say that, brother"
"Think about your mother's situation. Adek ga papa. Don't feel guilty about it"
***
Tired of thinking always has a headache. While massaging myself in my eyes quite reduces the pain. Rizon without knocking on the door of the unlocked room. Sit next to me and grab my head. Slowly he pinched, laying my head on his lap.
"Are you tired of yah?"
"Lumayan kak.." I answered honestly
"Let's get tired of this" he said, making me not understand.
"Communication brother???" I wait for clarity
"Married to my sister"
Immediately I rose from my bed. Staring at him was still unsure of what I heard.
"Yeah deck. Married to my sister." she assured me.
"A.a.a...akuu..."
"I don't know if I can"
Never dreamed of marrying young, never married at the age of not even two heads.
My college, my dreams, my family especially.
"The problem is a lot of brothers, we are still together in college. There is still a lot to achieve. How to tell old man adek. I'm sure it'll be weird."
"Did you believe in big brother???" Speech approaching me. Tidying up my messy hair on my face. He led me to sit on the edge of the bed.
So far I've been following him.
"For college, we will be normal college as usual, will not change anything.adek free career achieve every dream adek want.kak will not limit anything that becomes ade activities."
"Old man, big brother will set out to explain to them"
"The last, adek freely choose to stay with his brother or still choose the cost after the wedding."
"Sister promises there will be no husband and wife relationship, let alone planning to have children until we are really ready to do it."
His face looked relieved after revealing everything. Half the burden is gone. And all that she did was for mom.
"Truly great sacrifice" my inner self
"So wait for a quick answer. The effect is selfish brother deck, but trust me this is all sister does for mom. I don't know how long you can survive, and you just want to make her happy for the rest of her life"
Without waiting for me to talk, the house calls forced her to leave me.
