The Sacrifice of Nayra

Attention Nayra

Rama still clasped Nayra's hand while waiting for an answer from her. But Nayra was still confused as to what to answer. They both still look at each other. Then Rama's head suddenly dizzy. Rama releases Nayra's hand and holds her head. Nayra's surprised.

"Why are you?"

"My head suddenly dizzy Nay. Maybe because I've been driving all night and I haven't slept"

"Huh? Why did Rama drive Mas? There is Mang Dudung"

"I'm replacing Mang Dudung Nay. Poor him. I also can't sleep. I thought you kept Nay. I haven't eaten anything since yesterday either. My appetite is gone too"

"What??"

"Can I sleep for a while, Nay? My head is so dizzy"

"E yes Mas. You sleep in my room. Let me help you!"

Nayra helped Rama to his feet and led him to his room.

"You sleep here. Let me get you some headache medicine. Just a minute!"

Nayra hurriedly took the headache medicine in the P3K box. Rama dropped his body on the bed. Rama closed his eyes and tried to sleep so that the dizziness in his head was gone.

Shortly thereafter Nayra came with a glass of water and also a headache medicine.

"Mas Rama, take the medicine first Mas"

Rama opened his eyes and sat down. Nayra handed over the medicine and water to Rama. Rama drank it straight away.

"Thank you Nay"

Rama lay down again.

"What would Mas Rama eat? Let me take it. Gudeg, soto, fried chicken, pecel, hodgepodge...??"

"No need to thank Nay. I no longer have appetite. I'm gonna go to bed"

"Yes, Rama slept first. I'm staying first, Mas"

Rama nodded his head. Nayra left Rama alone in his room. Then Rama closed his eyes.

***

Nayra caught up with Kyara and the others at the restaurant.

"Where is Rama's son Nay?" ma'am Aini asked as soon as she saw Nayra coming alone.

"Mas Rama's head is dizzy Ma'am. She was driving and didn't sleep last night"

"Astaghfirullah's.."

"Em. I'm sorry Mom. Last night Mr. Rama himself asked me to replace him and told me to sleep. I feel guilty Ma'am" Mang Dudung chimed in.

"No pa pa Mang. I also gave him medicine. And now Mas Rama is sleeping"

"Why don't you tell him to have breakfast first Nay?" ask Ms. Aini.

"Mas Rama said again no appetite ma'am. Nayra wants to make him porridge"

"Mama.. Kiya also wants Ma's porridge"

"Dear baby, Mama will make Kiya too. Wait a minute, baby. You played with Santi first!"

"Yes Ma"

Nayra went to the kitchen to make chicken porridge.

"Nay, is Rama sick?" ask Andin kepo.

"Yes Ndin. I'm gonna make him some porridge"

"Let me help Nay" said Ms. Wulan.

"No need to Ma'am. Just let me be alone"

"Cie. cie. as if someone wants to make a special porridge for his beloved husband" Rina's mother chimed in.

"What the hell is Mbak..."

Sister Rina, Sister Wulan and Andin looked at each other with a smile.

'Huh.what do you say. Bodo amat' inward Nayra.

Nayra also started making chicken porridge. Once finished, Nayra put the porridge into two bowls. One for Rama and one for Kyara.

'Hopefully Mas Rama likes'

Then Nayra made an instant wedang uwuh for Rama.

Wedang uwuh is a drink with ingredients in the form of foliage similar to garbage. In Javanese, wedang means drink, while uwuh means trash. Wedang uwuh is served hot or warm, has a sweet and spicy taste with bright red color and fragrant aroma. Spicy taste due to ginger ingredients, while the color is red because of the presence of a cantaloupe. Wedang uwuh is a typical drink from Yogyakarta.

At first wedang uwuh is still in the form of whole materials in the form of original spices, but as the times develop and the need for practicality, nowadays wedang uwuh has been developed in instant form. Wedang uwuh is very efficacious to overcome the symptoms of colds.

Once finished, Nayra put two bowls of chicken porridge and a cup of wedang uwuh on a tray and then brought it.

"Kiya. the porridge is already a darling"

"Asiiikkp.. Kiya wants to eat Ma's porridge"

"Yes Ma"

Nayra handed over a bowl of chicken porridge to Madam Santi. After that Nayra went to her room.

In the room, Rama still slept soundly. Probably because of the drug. Nayra also placed a tray containing chicken porridge and wedang uwuh on the table. Then Nayra sat down beside Rama. Nayra looked at Rama's face which looked somewhat pale. Nayra touched Rama's forehead.

'Astaghfirullah. Your body is hot Mas'

Nayra panic. He rushed to get warm water and a small towel to compress Rama's forehead.

Rama was still asleep when Nayra put a small towel on her forehead. Suddenly Nayra felt sorry to see Rama's condition.

"Sorry Nayra Mas. Mas Rama became sick because of Nayra" Nayra began to shed tears.

"Don't go Nay! Don't leave me!" rama said with his eyes closed.

Nayra was shocked to hear Rama speak. Rama is delirious. Nayra held Rama's hand.

"You calm down, Mom! I will not leave you. I promise"

Rama slowly opened his eyes. Rama was shocked when he saw Nayra crying beside him while clasping her hands.

"Nayras.. Why are you crying Nay?"

"Mas Rama"

Nayra was also shocked because Rama suddenly woke up. Nayra let go of Rama's hand and wiped her tears.

"You're awake, huh? I made you chicken porridge with wedang uwuh"

Rama sat down and leaned his back. Nayra picked up a cup of wedang uwuh then handed it to Rama.

"Mas Rama drink first!"

Rama welcomed him and drank a little. After that Rama put it back on the table.

"Now Mas Rama ate his porridge! Mumpung is still anget"

Nayra also took a tray containing a bowl of chicken porridge and put it on Rama's lap. Rama stared at the chicken porridge then turned to look at Nayra who was sitting beside him.

"Thank you Nay"

"Why are you paying attention to me, Nay? I have hurt your heart often"

Nayra lowered her face.

"I just feel sorry for Rama"

'Why don't you be honest if you love me, Nay?' inner Rama.

"Mas Rama ate his porridge! I'm out first"

Nayra stood up and turned her body about to walk away. But Rama swiftly drew Nayra's hand. Nayra surprise. Heart's pounding. He looked towards Rama.

"What's up, Mom?"

"Nay, you are more beautiful if you wear a hijab like that" said Rama with a smile.

The deg!

'What?? Mas Rama said I'm beautiful??' inner Nayra.

Nayra's heart seemed to be about to jump out. Nayra did not believe what she had just heard.

"Please Mas" said Nayra, brushing her smile.

Rama releases Nayra's hand. Then Nayra stepped away with a flowery heart. This was the first time Rama had praised him. I don't know why Nayra was so happy to hear that.
