The Unconsidered Bungsu

Chapter 18 I'm Not Sick

The next day I decided to keep going to work even though Mbak Murni had asked permission to Miss Diyah. I want to forget my sadness by staying active as usual. Although still difficult, the proof is yesterday in the market I continue to remember Widi.

" Aira's Assalamualaikum ! Yesterday Kok Bu Aira did not come, Adit kangen same Miss Aira."

Just now I entered the gate fat Adit was facing me and asked his question.

":Waalaikum greetings Adit son of Sholeh," I replied and welcomed his hand. " Yes, Miss Aira did not feel well, dear" I continued.

Ms. Riris and Ms. Heni who were in the classroom came out to greet me.

Yesterday they had sungkawa via WA. Pure Ma'am who gave it to him.

" Mrs Aira, I'm at work. Is it okay ?" asked Bu Riris while holding my shoulder.

" I'm fine Ms. Riris.Thank you for your concern," I replied as I threw a smile.

I have to look cheerful. You can't look sad in front of the students.

One by one the guardians of the students who drove their children to say condolences to me. They also gave me support to stay strong and strong.

I'm so excited because so many people care about me. Although Widi is still a close friend.

Bu Murni said, today Ms. Diyah is not present. But he had sent WA messages to me condolences.

" Mr Aira, please check again all the equipment for today's practice," Pure Ma'am pinta.

" Good Pure Ma'am," I replied as I went inside.

I also checked the water in the bathroom.

" Look at Wid, like this is my job. Now you can see, right ? I know you must be right now

was following me, watching me and taking care of me." I muttered.

Suddenly Pure Ma came in. He saw me .

" Aira, who are you talking to ?" tanyakanya.

" Same Widi Mbak," I replied confidently. Because we were just the two of us so we called each other names without the word 'Mum '

"Jeez Aira. Widi's dead, where could she be here." Mama denied my words.

" But I feel Widi is here, Ma'am" I said.

" Said people if someone dies then the spirit of the person was still around us for 40 days.

I'm sure Widi must be here. He said he always wanted to see me and hear my voice." I continued my words.

" It's not like that, honey. Yes, let's go out, our lesson starts," invite Mbak Murni.

We also went to class B. Bu Heni and Bu Riris had already started the opening prayer in Class A.

I saw Mbak Murni calling someone. While I invite the students to start by reading the prayer.

[Yes Rin, please yes. I don't have the same kind of him. ]

• • •

[If you can go home dong, all of us take off the kangen. I haven't seen you in a long time either ]

•• • •

[Okay, see you ]

That's the only conversation I've heard from Pure Mother. Could she have called Rina ?

Mama continued her lessons immediately.

Finish all tasks today. Bu Heni and Miss Riris have already launched the bike. I put my foot towards the stop. Ma'am Murni who was talking to Mr. Yanto called me.

" aira ! just a minute." I stopped my steps and turned to Mbak Murni.

" What's up Mommy ? " tanyaku. Pure Ma'am walked

approached me.

" We eat first yuk ! Buy a deal," he asked.

I'm shaking. "Thank you Ma'am, but I'm not hungry." I refused it subtle.

" Come Aira, I don't know from the morning you haven't eaten anything. Just had tea, right ?" Mama Murni still persuaded me.

" I'm sorry, ma'am, I really don't want to. To swallow it is difficult. There is no appetite. "

I relayed my reasoning, afraid that Mbak Murni would be offended. " Oh yes, if so just take you home? " Pure Ma'am offers a ride.

" I rode an angkot. This morning too. "

I again declined his offer. I don't know why I feel like I want to be alone.

" No. nope.. Mbak don't want you later daydream in angkot, continue not to go down even kebablasan." Pure Ma'am forbids me.

He picked up his motor matic and immediately started. "Come on the ride ! this time I can't refuse !"

I got on the bike too. We were on the highway to the house.

When I got down and thanked him. Mba Murni propel his motorbike.

" Who is Aira home ?" The lunch dad asked me.

" Same Mbak Murni, Dad, "I replied as I entered the room. I left the door open because Dad was talking to me.

I sat in the chair 'study table' . I took paper and pen. Then start scratching the paper. My habits if I'm upset. Dad was about to take his dirty dishes to the kitchen and stop at my door.

"Eat first Son, Daddy look like from yesterday you did not eat," said the father.

The empty paper was already full of poetry verses that I spontaneously wrote. And all about Widi.

Ah Widi... What are you doing there ?

I got up and headed to the bathroom to wudhu then pray. While folding my face I heard the sound of the motor stopping in front of the house. Dad's out of the kitchen.

" Dad's Assalamualaikum "it seems to be Tika's voice.

" Greetings waalaikum, who is Tik ? " Daddy returned the greeting and asked.

" Himself, happened to come home from work a little early so immediately stop by here, " replied Tika.

" Where Aira is Dad ? " ask Tika again. Tumben he's looking for me. I also came out of the room.

Ma'am Tika approached me, and asked me the news.

" Aira, you're okay, right ? " He hugged me.

" Good Ma'am, tumben stopped by here," I said in surprise.

" When mom came on the phone, she said a close friend of yours died.. Ma'am is grieving, yes" said Tika. I'm nodding. Ma'am Tika put the parcel she was carrying on the dining table.

" So Ma'am bought meatballs, this is a meal first.." Ma'am Tika took a bowl in the kitchen and poured meatballs into it. Then he sat down with his father on the porch. Seeing a meatball I got hungry. " I think it's good. !" myrag.

I took a spoon and started eating it. When I just ate half I remember eating meatballs with Widi. Instantly my chest felt tight.

I don't continue eating anymore.

I heard Dad and Tika were chatting. I went into my room and prepared - ready to go.

" Why is the meat not spent, Aira ?" ask Tika who has entered the dining room.

" Lazy ah, but I ate a little."

I answered while putting on the hijab. Soon I was ready to go to the market.

" Want to go to Ra's market? let me take you ! " Sir Tika offered herself. Surprised, everything suddenly turned on me. Not at school, not at home.

I feel fine but they think like I'm sick again.

Those who are taken to eat, who want to be bribed, who want to be treated, until the commute is also delivered.

" Aren't you tired? let me take the angkot. " I walked to the terrace.

"No, I want to see Mom too. Just go with you, Ma'am," he asked again.

" Oh yes, let's go ! " Sir Tika said goodbye to the father who was lifting the clothesline in front. Then he turned on his motor. I'm piggybacking on the back.

Mbak Tika propelled his bike.

Arriving at the food stall, it turns out that there is another Rina chat with Nia in the kitchen. Mbak Sri and Mbak are serving buyers. Me and Tika went straight into the kitchen.

" Aira, how are you doing ? " Sirina stood up and approached me. He was crying and hugging me.

Rina's mother has no heart and easily cries. Especially if something happens to your brother.

" I'm good Ma'am, why the hell is everyone asking about my situation. My people are okay."

I said somewhat annoyed. Sister Rina far - far away came just asking for my news. Can pass the phone.

":But your mother said you didn't want to eat. Just keep calling, said you talked to yourself in the bathroom." Ms. Rina told me what she heard from her mother and Ms. Pure.

" Mr Rina is worried about you, Aira," he continued.

" I don't eat because I don't want to eat. I feel sorry for Widi if I eat but she doesn't" I said.

" This morning at school I didn't talk to myself. I'm sure Widi is near me so I'm talking to her." I revealed what I felt to my sister2. They were all shocked to hear my statement.

" Widi is dead Aira. Dead people can't eat let alone talk to us. Their nature is different." Mbak Rina explained while her eyes glazed over.

Mother who was busy serving buyers joined us. In front there is mbak Sri and the buyer is also already on the exit.

" Yes that I know. It's just my feeling. Sister Rina said that because she did not feel for herself what I experienced, hyks.... " I'm starting to sob.

"Already. Now you eat first, a little bit is okay. Keep drinking this. " Mom pulled a small plastic capsule onto me.

" I don't get sick Mom, I'm on medication" I said.

" It's not a drug. Just vitamins so your body doesn't limp. Your stomach is not filled, right? "

I put the capsule on the table.

I'm good to drink, who knows what vitamins are. I took a basket of corn and I ate it to fill the stomach because I was about to take a medicine that he said vitamins.

Finally they breathed a sigh of relief after I took the medicine. Mom is smiling too.

" Why not eat first" asked the mother. I'm shaking.

." Nothing ma'am, just now at the house Aira's been eating meatballs." Ma'am Tika told mom.

Then he decided to go home.

Rina is still waiting for her husband. He said he was escorted and then left for a while because Krishna was meeting his old friends.

" After this I'm the same time Krishna will meet my father first at home." So said.

" Later if Krishna comes to eat with Rin, "mother's message. " Yes ma'am, ' replied Rina.

After something like this, they care about me. Yesterday I said I was busy if I needed them again.
