...82...
Three months later…
Nathan's condition is now visible
so thin and his hair has also begun to fall until it has to be shaved off due to one of the effects
chemotherapy has been going on for the past few months. For three
this month Keysa always faithfully accompanied Nathan, even Keysa was very painstaking in
take care of and care of Nathan.
“Pelan-pelan Nat” says
Keysa while helping Nathan lie in his bed after returning from the hospital
undergoing chemotherapy.
Last month, after
consideration made by the doctor finally Nathan allowed to
go home as requested and be treated at home.
After Nathan lay down,
Keysa covers Nathan's body with a blanket, then Keysa
sitting on the edge of the bed holding Nathan's arm.
“Today you want in
what story Nat?” ask Keysa
For the past few months
Keysa has a new habit of storytelling before Nathan falls asleep
it was Nathan's request because he missed the custom
his mother used to be and the main reason Nathan asked for it was because of the voice
Keysa is the most efficacious sleepwalker for her and can be muffling
a little pain he felt.
“No Key, today I
very tired and want to immediately rest” said Nathan weak
“You already know about you
break ya” said Keysa while tidying up Nathan's blanket
But just now Keysa
stepping towards the door of the room, Nathan's voice suddenly sounded
spit something out. Keysa turned around and went straight to Nathan
then help Nathan to sit down so that it can be easier to spit out the contents
her stomach. In addition to experiencing loss due to chemotherapy, Nathan also often times
nausea and even vomiting when finished doing chemo.
Finished vomiting and already
feeling a little relieved Nathan was back lying down weakly. Keysa
directly pick up the wet tissue that has been provided in the bedside bed,
then began to clean up the remaining vomit around Nathan's mouth.
Finished cleaning up the rest of the vomit, Keysa switched with the vomit already
scattered on the floor. Without the slightest disgust Keysa began to rush clean
everything is.
“Sorry I yes Key.I just
can trouble you”
“You're mending a break
yes, do not mind a lot” said Keysa with a smile and rubbed hands
Nathan was soft.
Keysa just doesn't want to
adds to Nathan's burden of thought and wants Nathan to focus only on
his health, after all, he himself did not mind to do either
everything is.
Tok.shock.
Nathan and Keysa switch
looking at the door and then Caca who entered while carrying a tray.
“It’s snack time” says
Caca was excited
“Yeee...snack. Today
what fruit is Ca?” keysa is acting like a child
“Today there is fruit
nathan likes mango, apple and blueberry”
“Waahhh want also dong
kak”
Keysa and Caca
it's been acting like a kid's whim to cheer Nathan up,
but it always managed to make Nathan smile. Nathan is very
I am grateful to have people who care and love you.
“Tenangg... today's sister.
have made a double portion for you two” said Caca while handing over
a plate containing pieces of fruit.
“Yeee.
caca”
“Okey, enjoy
snackya ya” said Caca pamit and went out leaving them both
“You want to eat this first?
Or just take a break?” ask Keysa gently
horrified nagging brother Caca” joked Nathan while smiling weakly.
Nathan intentionally said
it's because he knew that Caca would check if Nathan
had eaten his fruits or not and when Caca found
the fruits are still in the dish so Caca will nag.
“Haha..aku report.
Caca you haha”
Keysa feeds off the pieces
by pieces of fruit into Nathan's mouth, telling stories
funny to cheer Nathan up.
“You and your family
when did you go to grandpa's house?” nathan asked Keysa, still sitting
leaning against the mattress headbord.
“Emm..papa each other
the plan will go tomorrow”
“You?”
“I don't Nat, I want to
here take care of you”
Nathan then grabbed
jemari Keysa then gently stroked her.
“I gapapa dear, there is
brother Caca and papa take care of me. So gapapa you go a quality time together
ya” family
“But..”.
“This is the first time
your grandfather wanted to get together after a few years, that means
now their relationship has improved. You have to be there to capture
this moment”
“Emm..ta-api” says Keysa.
teeter
“It is if you do not go,
I feel like I can only be a burden and a hindrance to you”
“Emm.iyasah I'm coming.
I'll make sure I get back to” soon
“Hehe ga need too
hurry baby, we still have plenty of time kok”
“Alright then.
But you promise you must always be on time to eat and do not forget to take medication. And
always tell me, don't disappear like a few months ago”
“Hehe is ready to do motherhood
bos” Nathan said as he made a respectful hand gesture towards Keysa.
The next morning Keysa
his family went to Ali's grandfather's house, I don't know
talked about his grandfather and his father first when he met until suddenly some
last day Ali's grandfather invited them all to come gather
joint. On one hand Keysa was happy because his extended family was back
gathered yet on one side again somehow Keysa felt heavy to go
away from Nathan. Actually Keysa has a desire to invite and
introducing Nathan to the papa's extended family, but that desire was his
undo considering Nathan's condition is less likely to travel
far-off.
Two days later Keysa
he decided to go home first compared to his family
who will be home in the next few days, Keysa plans to deliver
surprise Nathan because today is his birthday. Keys
he was taken home by his grandfather's personal driver. Keysa's return is just
it is known by Caca because the two of them have agreed to give a surprise
to Nathan.
“May Nathan like the same
the prize” said Keysa while looking at a clock that has been neatly arranged in
a box. Keysa bought the watch while he was at Ali's grandfather's house.
Not only Keysa watches also buy Nathan a brown hodie
that's Nathan's favorite color.
After being satisfied
looking at the gift she had bought, Keysa closed the gift box again
and put it next to his seat. After that Keysa
take her phone to give Caca news if she's already
on the way home. A few minutes Keysa waited for a reply to a chat from Caca,
but the reply did not come and eventually Keysa decided to
put the phone back in the bag and take a position to prepare
sleeps. Keysa thinks if sleep is on the way then time will not be felt
and you have arrived at your destination.
