Episodes 118



When I came out of the patient's room, the doctor was waiting for me, he saw me looking at me, as if I were telling a lie.


" Actually, who are you? " ask


" My sodara! " I answered


" Don't lie, because when I asked her where her family the woman inside said, she just lived alone with her son "strictly to me


" I'm not lying, he's Islamic, I'm also Islamic so we're sadara, and therefore I want to help him" I explained


" Well then, excuse me "he said and was about to leave but I stopped him.


" Sorry doctor, is the woman inside allowed to go home? " I asked, she turned her body back to face me.


" right! But because he could not afford the medical money, so the hospital held him "he explained


I didn't want to ask back, so I just thanked him and walked back to my sister's nursery, I've been leaving him alone for a long time.


Arriving at my sister's room, it turns out she was asleep, I can make sure that my sister is right asleep, from her breath that has been arranged and looks peaceful on her face.


I also chose to curl my body on the bench that was there.


Trying to close my eyes, but something bothered my mind. I didn't know what the boy and his mother were going through, but seeing the unseen sadness on his face caused my mind to be disturbed.


If I used to cover up my troubles and my grief with a flat face, it's only natural because it's my size


But the teenage girl, I see her face looks cheerful, as if always happy to cover the sadness so as not to be seen.


Keep going with my mind, forcing to find out about the girl, until I don't realize I'm very sleepy and asleep.

Her morning.


I was ready with all the belongings of my brother that we would take home, the family would have followed to the hospital but I forbid, we're also going home so why are they coming back.


" Is it ready? " Task my sister who just came out of the bathroom to change her clothes.


" Sure! " I answered while smiling


" So wait here for a while, the doctor will check you back before Jani comes back out for a while "my door to my brother and he nods, my brother chooses to sit on the bench in the room, and he chooses to sit on the bench in the room, i'm mid.


Like I said, I came out of that room to see the teenage girl I met last night.


I knocked on the door of the room when I got to the door, and someone invited me in.


When I entered, I saw a teenager named Rindi was feeding her mother.


" The doctor said your mother can go home today, and all the hospital fees my mother has paid" I said slowly fearing they would accept my goodwill


Rindi looked at me, as if asking for an explanation but I just kept quiet.


He turned to the mother who had held back tears that wanted to come out but he did not allow it.


" Mom can go home! " The words were rindi, and her mother just nodded


" I'm sorry then! " My words, because I met them just to tell you that.


When I turned around and set my foot toward the door, my steps were stopped.


" Wait mbak! " The word I heard


" Wait, I want to thank you for what you've done for me" he said back when I was silent.


I turned my body


" What did I do to you? " I said, and he smiled and said


" It should have been three days ago I was out of this hospital, but because I could not afford the hospital fees, so I am still here" he explained as his eyes filled with clear liquid


" Hey'mh! Then excuse me, I've been waiting for my brother, do you want me to take home "my intention wants to take them home considering their finances, I'm afraid they'll be home on foot.


" Went home where "the little rindi murmur I heard, and it was heard by the mother too and the mother's gaze on the rindi as if telling rindi not to make a sound.


" Why Ma? Didn't the mother go to the hospital because it was "he said in a slow tone, maybe afraid the mother would be angry but it turns out the mother was just silent.


" Because of those people we lost our home, and therefore also the mother is here" said the boy back, I just kept quiet because it was a matter between mother and son, my job was to help even that if needed.


The mother and son were sobbing small, as if the burden they were carrying was enormous.


I approached them, trying to make a sound whether it would help or not.


" If you don't want to work in my house, maybe you can work in my family's factory "the bargain I give you again, I deliberately didn't say the factory was mine because I hadn't advanced it so maybe I should just turn it into my family's factory.


" I'm only skilled at home affairs "slowly the girl's mother speaks


" So, which offer will you take? " Let me back


" I'll just work at your house" he explained


No more talking, I told them to pack their clothes and I waited outside the hospital.


My Kaka and I have been sitting in the car, the calls from the house people also continue to come back and forth but the ones I wait for are not yet visible from the exit.


" who are we waiting for? " Task my sister


" There, in a minute! Brother can sleep only five minutes more, if they do not show up we just "my answer


My brother didn't ask back and chose to call his wife, maybe he missed it.


Before long I saw Rindi and her mother coming out the door, I got out of the car and approached them. I helped carry the bag with shady and put it in my trunk, then let them in the car.


I came in and sat in the steering wheel, before leaving I picked up the phone first from Mas Rendi, yes! He said he would go to his mother's house today with his family but not with jaya, because he was abroad to study, lucky they have a very good contact father like Mas Rendi.


" Mmmh, Jani left now "my answer and immediately turned off the phone, Kaka I looked at me and asked


" Ripa'i? " Ask, I said "no! "


But my brother still asked for an accurate answer so I just said it from the house guy.


" Want to go straight home? " Many


" Where are you going first? " Task my sister


" Ok we go straight home, Jani already wants to rest at home "my old man said, but my brother apparently thought something else


" I'm sorry you're bothering you! " Say, I smiled at him just for a quick glance because I was driving.


" Jani never felt bothered by anyone, Jani dear to you, did Jani fight also for all of you, for our family" I explained


No more words came out of my brother's mouth he chose to close his eyes, I'm sure he's keeping something in his mind.


" Sister of the rich? " Tanya who came out of the teenage girl sitting on the back bench


" No! " Shortly I answered


" If it's not the rich, why would you pay for my mother's medical expenses? " See again


" Because I think I'm capable! " I answered, I glanced at the rearview mirror, I saw the child's mother's face as if holding many questions but was reluctant to say.


" You go to school? " I asked the boy


" School, but it's a couple of weeks before mom gets sick" he replied


" now? " Many more trying to ask for clarity


" I've quit school "the lesunya answered


" why? " I am not the one who speaks but my brother


" For not being able to pay SPP" he replied


" Just because of that? " Many


" It's not just that, there are too many delinquents in school and you can't afford them, even though when I work part-time I always give all my salary to you" she replied


" Maybe your mother used the money for something important" I said originally and did not get an answer from Rindi again


" You want to go to school again? " Many


" Want to, but afraid not to "answer


" Same with your mother? " Many


" It was "short yes to answer


" You know, science is important to your future, don't you want your future to be better? " I asked Rindi but she answered her mother


" No, we don't have the money to pay for shady school, and I just don't work at your house yet" he replied
