The Story of Pilu A Village Flower

#12. It can't heal anymore

Aunty Ati suggested that Ita be medically treated, the father refused loudly and said "No need, later also healed himself and over time Ita would be able to walk again, Ita alone is too afraid to move and train his feet to walk",

Aunt Ati was angry and said "All her medical expenses I'll bear".

After the aunt said that her treatment would be borne by the aunt, Alex was silent and could not say a word anymore.

Sari and Ati's aunt took Ita to go to the hospital for treatment.After arriving at the hospital, the doctor also examined Ita's condition. Previously his doctor first suggested to X-ray the back and waist. The doctor shook his head and was angry with Ati's aunt, because Ati's aunt was the family who brought Ita. "Is this the first time a patient has been taken to the hospital?", the doctor asked Aunt Ati.

"Yes doc, this is the first time the patient is treated after 3 months after an accident" replied Aunt Ati.

"Why is it only now brought, why not immediately taken after the accident", the doctor replied rather angrily.

" Yes the doctor, her father was too busy and did not have time to take her" replied Aunt Ati just her.

"It's too late, there's a shift in the bones in the waist, the bones are there is a growth of the muscles in the hinge of the bone, after the bones shift, the muscle has grown, the muscle has grown, so to restore the bone that shifted is no place anymore, the longer the legs will be as small as not working anymore, it is too late, your sister will be paralyzed forever" said the doctor explained.

Sari cried sadly at the doctor's description saying that Ita would be paralyzed forever."Can not be treated again doctor, even in the rib cage?", asked Sari sadly.

"Piercing will only aggravate the situation, especially the prickly do not know the details of the location of the problem" replied the doctor reassured Sari.

'Oh my God, what mistake I made with Ita, why I didn't force her to go to the hospital, I should have thought of the medical expenses later, I should have come earlier to ask Aunt Ati's help', Sari continued to blame herself, Sari continued to cry.

Aunt Ati tried to persuade and comfort Sari.

"It may be fate, do not blame yourself continuously, it is too late, now you must continue to motivate your sister Ita, encourage her, so as not to despair, train her, now you must continue to motivate your sister Ita, so that Ita can move her body to do the activity at least to meet her needs, shower herself, defecate, even if it's with a sniff on the floor", said aunt Ati gave instructions and advice on what Sari should do in the future for the future Ita.

Sari was silent to Ati's aunt's explanation.

All the doctor's explanations, not delivered in front of Ita, Ita had no idea what had happened to him.

After they were discharged from the hospital, on the way home, Ita asked her condition "How will the aunt's examination result?, will Ita be cured?", asked Ita.

Aunty Ati and Sari just kept quiet. Sari could not lie to her sister, but to be honest Sari did not dare, it was not hearty to say that Ita would be paralyzed for the rest of her life.

Aunty Ati also immediately replied "Of course you can recover Ita, provided you diligently practice walking yes!, you must be enthusiastic and must not despair, you must not be inferior to your friends, the spirit is dear!", said Aunt Ati encouraging Ita while hugging tightly Ita's body.

They reached home, Ita was asleep because of fatigue riding an open-air transportation, because Ita had to lie down, unable to sit.

Alex came to Ati's aunt to ask how Ita's condition was after treatment at the hospital.

"It's too late Alex, as long as Ita will be paralyzed, you are an evil father, you can't take Ita immediately to the hospital, you are a heartless father, a father who does not think about the future of his children" Ati's aunt said angrily to Alex.

Alex was just silent, did not dare to talk anymore, the reality is now too late, medical treatment was no use.

Alex immediately left Aunt Ati to go to the room, afraid that Aunt Ati would talk at length and would definitely continue to scold Alex.

Sari diligently taught Ita to suck on the floor, and tried to stand by reaching for something as a handle.

Sari continues to encourage her sister Ita "Pelan slow down the deck, the important thing is that you must continue to be excited and try to continue" said Sari encouraging Ita.

He smiled and replied, "Good brother".

Gradually the movement of Ita increasingly agile, to reach something to so his grip to sit and stand, Ita also did a movement to move places with ngesot on the floor.

There was a look of happiness on Ita's face, because grateful to be able to move places, at least not just lying in bed, occasionally out to see a friend of his friend playing in the front yard.

Seeing Ita out of the house, a friend came to him to invite him to play "Ita yuk" said friend Ita simultaneously.

Ita just being silent cannot answer. Sari saw the look on Ita's face, Sari immediately approached the friend of Ita's friend "Main tomorrow only, Ita now can not play with you", replied Sari.

Ita went into the room and locked herself up. Sari just let her sister, maybe Ita needs to be alone, Sari murmured in her heart.

Since then, Ita no longer dare to show his face in front of the house, fearing friends invite Ita again to play.

A year ago Ita could not walk, Ita also grew into a girl who is inferior.

"That is, do not feel inferior to your current condition yes, at least you can do activities and not depend on others it is enough, you want while trying to learn to cook can be, at least you can, what you want to do, do it, do not despair yes, must be optimistic and enthusiastic" said Sari encouraging her sister.

Because even one day, it was time for Sari to leave Ita, as well as her other sisters, Sita, Siti, Vina someday must leave Ita alone at home, Ita should be able to do home cooking activities, or anything at least not dependent on others.

Fortunately, Ita wanted to listen to her brother's advice. Ita was already willing to leave the house, even though it was on the ground, Ita was willing to join playing with his friends. Ita's friends were so understanding not to mock the condition of Ita and want to join playing with Ita. Ita and his friends play congklak on the ground, they do not invite Ita to play hide and seek or play rope. If there is a friend who wants to play it Ita immediately said "It's okay friends, please you play hide and seek and play rope, I will see you guys on the edge of this field", said Ita to his Friends.

Ita also occasionally laughs and smiles at the behavior of his friends.
