The Port of Hearts of the Duda

Ningrum's sick

The next morning, as Kenzo had said, today and tomorrow he will be out of town. Early in the morning Kenzo had left, he did not even say goodbye to his mother and Neysa.

According to Kenzo, she told Dara last night, so she could have explained to Ningrum and Neysa that she had a job out of town today.

Meanwhile, around 06 am Dara just woke Neysa. While performing the morning prayer, he wanted to wake Neysa up but because Neysa's sleep was too deep to make Dara pity.

"What dream was last night, dear ?" so the question that Dara asked when Neysa's eyes were open.

Neysa shook her head slowly "Not a dream, brother, even though Ney wants to meet Mama. Sisters said that before Ney's midwife prayed for Mama Ney must have dreamed Mama"

Dara's heart seemed to be pierced by thorns to hear Neysa's words, he could not imagine being in Neysa's position. At such a young age Neysa had already lost the figure of the Mama.

I am thankful that Dara still has her mom. Even he did not lack the slightest affection of Syerli all this time.

"Later tonight we pray again ! Maybe God wants Ney to be patient first" said Dara, he elus Neysa head gently and put it on the chest.

"But Ney is not sad, there is a beautiful sister"

Dara smiled, she kissed Neysa's head repeatedly, Neysa's hair was so fragrant that Dara wanted and wanted to keep kissing her.

"Now we take a bath ! keep breakfast" take Dara.

"Good sister" Neysa replied with the spirit of "Let's play the doll again, sister !"

"Dear, whatever Neysa wants to play will be your sister"

"Yeyyyy" Neysa was excited, her laughter breaking filled the entire room.

*******

Dara and Neysa were already sitting at the dining table, there were only the two of them while Ningrum had yet to show up. Dara was not worried she thought it was possible that the middle-aged woman was having business in the room.

"Where are you, brother ?" neysa asked when she didn't see Kenzo there.

"Overnight Papa said he said today there's a job out of town, tomorrow we just go home"

"Oh"

Usually Neysa would cry if in stay by Kenzo out of town, but now the boy looks ordinary to make Aunt Rus who has long worked at Kenzo's house astonished.

"Normally non-Ney cried when he lived Papa" as well as Aunt Rus while looking at Neysa who was eating voraciously.

"Now there's a pretty big sister, so Ney's not crying anymore" Neysa replied.

"Pinter's mother really found Ney a nanny, she was immediately sticky without being forced" said Aunt Rus.

Dara was not chiming in, she was busy feeding Neysa food. Until finally the food on Neysa's plate was gone.

"Alhamdulillah is finished, Ney sinter deh eat it, not a little rest" said Dara

"Yes dong kak, is a beautiful sister who Supain Ney eats. That's why it's over"

Dara ruffled Neysa's long hair in a fit of anxiety.

"Now Dara Ma'am who has breakfast, Ney let me take care of him first" said Aunt Rus.

"Later Bi, I'm still full"

"Why mbak, I haven't had breakfast yet"

"Later if I'm hungry I take myself to the kitchen bi, the important thing Neysa has breakfast" reply Dara so sincere. Even Aunt Rus could feel Dara's sincerity.

*********

The day had gone by, but Ningrum had not yet shown his nose. To Dara's astonishment, he wondered to himself where Ningrum had gone.

"Did Aunt Ningrum join Kenzo's mas out of town huh ?" batin Dara full of question marks.

"But it's impossible, Kenzo is out of town working instead of walking"

Out of curiosity Dara decided to check Ningrum's room, but before that Dara said goodbye to Neysa first.

"Yes, brother, don't stay long"

Dara nodded, she stood up from her seat then walked towards Ningrum's room. But before entering the room Dara met with Aunt Rus who was mopping the floor.

"I'm sorry Bi I lewatin that, because want to check his room Aunt Ningrum" said Dara was not happy.

"It's okay mbak, it's what's wrong with the room Bu Ningrum ?"

"Cuman want to see Aunt Ningrum Bi, because already this session he is not visible"

"Oh my God, I haven't seen Ms. Ningrum out of the room yet either"

"That's why I want to check Bi, yuk together"

"Yes mbak"

Slowly the door of the room opened slowly.

"Assalamualaikum Aunt, Dara permission to enter yes" said Dara

There was no answer until the door opened wide. Dara saw Ningrum still curled up inside the thick blanket making her a little worried.

"Tante" call Dara.

Ningrum opened his eyes slowly, his lips were so pale.

"D-a-r-a" said Ningrum softly and stammeringly.

"Oh Allah Aunty why ? what's going on ?" Dara panicked as she rushed over and checked Ningrum's body temperature.

"Tante has a fever, it's very hot" Dara choked.

"Would you please not leave the room, why didn't you call me with a fever like this ?" Aunt Rus felt guilty for not paying too much attention to her employer.

"It's okay, I think this is because of the usual colds, but the more here it feels like I don't have the energy to stand up so mom doesn't go out of the room" Ningrum explained.

"We go to the hospital, Mom, I'm afraid I have dengue fever" Dara suggested.

"Kenzo where's Ra ?" ask Ningrum first

"Mas Kenzo's out of town, Mom, he says there's a job there, tomorrow he's back"

Ningrum nodded his head, it was fortunate that now there was Dara guarding Neysa, if there was no Dara I don't know what would be the child if the situation was like this.

"Bring me to the hospital !" said Aunt Rus

"Yes Bi, please say the same driver prepare a car ya bi ! I'm taking Auntie forward"

"Can you do it yourself?"

"God willing to Bi"

Immediately Aunt Rus ran forward to tell the driver to get ready, while Dara helped Ningrum stand up and pushed him out of the room.

"Grandmother why sister "asked Neysa as Dara passed by the living room with Ningrum.

"Grandmother is sick baby, we take her to the hospital first yes" replied Dara.

"I'm coming with brother"

"Yuk ! Ney's on the road to the car first"

With difficulty finally Dara managed to bring Ningrum to the car, they immediately went to the hospital to check on Ningrum's condition.

"No need to call Kenzo ! later she panicked" Ningrum asked Dara.

"But Tan, ma Kenzo has every right to know about Auntie's situation "

"Tante's fine, son, let Kenzo work quietly without worrying about Auntie's situation"
