THE GENIUS MAN

3. Catastrophe

When the sun was up, Barra's mother was busy cooking in the kitchen. The princess who went back and forth to wake her brother has not yet woken up.

"Why bother to wake him, Barra does like to wake up late." reprimanded Barra's mother who saw the Princess go back and forth to Barra's room.

"My brother and I want to go somewhere, ma'am." replied the Princess nervously.

"Where?" ask Barra's mother, even though she knows.

"Mom don't need to know, you'll be angry. Take it easy, ma'am. Barra's daughter and brother will not be long. After my business is done, Barra's brother and I will go straight home and not go anywhere else." said the Princess while hugging her mother to reassure her.

"Alright, be careful on the road. Later when you go home, Barra should not need to accompany the mother selling in the market. He must be tired, so let it rest." ordered Barra's mother.

"Good, mom. The Princess will do it." cried the Princess while saluting her mother.

After finishing preparing and having breakfast, Barra and the Princess left. They each carry a backpack. Princess and Barra chose to take a bus to the city. It took 3 hours to travel until they finally arrived at the hospital.

When you just set foot in the hospital, a state of unrest is happening. Some people are wrapped around a rope by a doctor. Police and soldiers also helped.

"Bang, my girlfriend's room is over there. I went there first, he must have been waiting." said the Princess who did not pay attention to the surroundings and went straight into the nursery of her boyfriend. While Barra was still confused by the situation he saw.

Two scientists came to help, they injected a liquid that could calm the person in the bind. "Everything is safe. But this won't last long. It is better to place them in a certain room and do not come into contact with healthy humans." orders Banda who is sent to deal with problems in this hospital as a representative of novice scientists.

"I recommend that everyone who has been in contact with the patient without using safety, it is better to be quarantined first. Because they will definitely be infected in the next few days." explains Sindi who told all the existing doctors.

"Infection? The patient?" Barra still did not understand and tried to digest the words of the two scientists. Suddenly Barra's eyes were round. He quickly ran to find his sister.

"Never till the Princess comes into contact with him. It can be serious, he will also be infected with this strange disease" said Barra who continued to run while making each room door to find his sister.

And when he managed to find the Princess, he was already in contact with his girlfriend.

"Bang, this is my girlfriend. Well, honey. This is my brother." said the Princess who immediately got up while taking off her boyfriend's hand.

"Hi, Princess' brother!" greet the Princess' boyfriend with a smile.

Barra doesn't know what to do. He had wanted to pull his sister out and not close to his sister's boyfriend, but the Princess had continued to touch. If he pulls his sister's hand too, then he will be sure he is also contaminated.

"No, I can't be infected. I'll heal my sister later." Barra's mum who ran out without saying anything.

"It seems, your brother doesn't like me." said the Princess' boyfriend who saw Barra's behavior.

"That's impossible. My brother is a very nice person, you are not familiar with him yet." replied the Princess back while sitting in her place.

Barra looked for the two scientists to find out more information. While on the stairs, he managed to find Sindi and Banda. "You guys here, I want to talk" said Barra who managed to stop in front of Sindi and Banda.

"Retreat, don't get close to us." Sindi orders that quickly move away from Barra.

"Where do you know that?" asked Sindi who furrowed her brows.

"Have you ever seen me on Tivi? Ah, I didn't expect to be so famous even if I hadn't done anything" Banda said to herself.

"No. I only know through the clothes you're wearing. Your titles are there too. So I get it." said Barra while referring to Sindi's shirt.

"Ah, yes that's true. Then, what do you want to ask?" ask Banda who immediately switched the conversation so that the answer could be forgotten by them.

"The strange disease that appears, why can be transmitted only by touch and how long it takes until the disease is felt by the infected person?" ask Barra to the point.

"So far, we have not confirmed it because many people are contracting faster and some are slow" Banda replied.

"It looks like it matches a person's immunity." Sahut Barra understands. Sindi and Banda became shocked. Barra seemed to know more than they expected.

"You're a doctor, a nutritionist, or a scientist, too?" sindi asked who was paying attention to Barra's appearance.

"Not everything. But why did you tie up the guy. I'm sure the affected patients won't prey on humans, right?" barra asked very carefully.

"You seen him?" tanya Banda continued to pay attention to Barra's movements.

"They don't want to obey us and always want to go out. They eat fast and eat too much. Still laper though. If not given, they will be angry and want to find food outside. Therefore, we are holding him." Sindi explained.

"If you find anyone who has been in contact with the patient, contact us immediately. We provide a special place with them until the cure is found. Don't forget, wear safety equipment such as gloves when in contact with them. Protective clothes can also be if you feel in need." explained Banda.

"Do you have any protective gear and gloves available?" ask Barra.

Sindi then pulled out her bag and pulled out what Barra asked for. Barra took it and immediately went to find her sister. He wears gloves and protective clothing just in case.

"Bang, what are you wearing? Release!" shouted the Princess who thought if Barra was disgusted to meet his girlfriend to wear protective clothing only.

"Let's go home!" call Barra in a firm voice and come out waiting for her sister.

"It looks like your brother thinks that my disease is contracted until he wears protective clothing there. Later you do not need to come here again to visit me." said the Princess boyfriend who felt disappointed.

"I'm sorry to represent my brother. I'll tell him later." said the Princess who came out quickly. The princess then hit her brother while outside his girlfriend's room.

"Basic brother, still likes to demean people. Look at my boyfriend's face that looks sullen. You're embarrassing me." obviously the princess scolded Barra while hitting Barra's arm. Luckily Barra was already wearing protective clothing.

"Daughter, stop. You can make me infected too." said Barra who made his sister glare. He did not understand his brother's words at all.

"Did you?" the Princess said in a slow voice.
