The White Heart Jasmine

Chapter 3 - The Sick Mother

The last week of the final exam will be completed. There are still three days of struggle. Jasmine tired and hungry rushed home.

Just got off his HP angkot rang. Call from Lily. Tumbens. His sister rarely calls him especially during school hours.

"Yes, Ly?" Melati answered Lily's greeting while walking towards the alley of the house.

"Mother is sick, sister. It's so hot in his body. And very limp. How'this?" Lily's voice was worried.

"Yes, little brother arrived. Wait, yeah." Jasmine instantly turned off HP and quickly ran towards home.

He got home to my mother's room. Right, mom hot high. Already from yesterday actually the mother is not healthy. But I said what, at least rest.

"Mother's feeling nauseous" said the mother. Trying to get out of bed. Melati takes mom to the bathroom. Justright. Mom puking.

"Li, make it a warm drink, yeah," said Melati. Lily immediately did her brother's orders. Then Melati took mom back to the room.

"Mom, let's go to the doctor, yeah," said Melati.

"Mom is okay. The wind" replied Mother.

"But, ma'am, the time from yesterday caught wind? Let me get you the right medicine." Melati rubbed Mom's feet with eucalyptus oil. And then also on Mom's upper neck and chest. Mom looks pale.

"Mom's gonna take a full break tonight until tomorrow morning. Must be good back." I'm still trying to calm Melati down.

"Yes, mom. If tomorrow you are still not healthy, you have to see a doctor, yes," jasmine pleaded. Mother nodded.

Lily came with warm tea. Jasmine helps mom sit and drink. Then he left his mother to rest in the room.

Until the time of eating, again Mother vomited. And Mother's body was getting hotter, she was shivering and feeling cold.

"Mom, can't wait for tomorrow. Mommy could be worse. The medicine you take has no effect. My mother also kept vomiting. Now, ma'am, go to the doctor." Melati still persuades her mother.

"Mom, let the doctor give you a suitable medicine, so I'm healthy soon." Teak persuaded mother.

"Yes already. Come on, let's go to the doctor." Mom finally gave up.

Melati invites Damar to accompany her to take her mother to the doctor. Lily is at home accompanying Jati. Melati ordered a taxi online and rushed to the doctor as soon as the vehicle came.

Turns out she had typhus symptoms. Fortunately, my mother was willing to check. If it is too late to be discovered how, Melati's mind. The doctor suggested the mother should bedrest for two weeks. Eat foods that are smooth and should not be spicy.

Actually, the doctor suggested an opname, but the mother did not want to. She knew her children would have a hard time keeping her in the hospital. He'd better stay home, still be able to keep an eye on them.

Melati was relieved to know the mother's illness, but also somewhat worried about the situation now. This exam is not over. How could he manage his home and his sisters? All this time, all mom's been working. He and his siblings only help occasionally because they are busy with school affairs. While the mother, although she also teaches at Kindergarten, the mother can handle all well. Home machines, prepare their school needs, provide food at home, learning aids, especially Teak, and many others.

Melati is proud and dear to mother. She just found out how hard you did for them. Moreover, dad is always far away. That's why sometimes mothers will nag if they don't want to recede. I'm sorry, ma'am, who sometimes makes mothers emotional because it's unruly, whispered Melati's heart while they were on their way home from the doctor.

They're back at home. Mom was lying in her room. I've eaten the porridge that Jasmine made and taken medicine.

"Mom, the exam is only three days. Mom just calm down. We are big, we can manage everything. Mom's gotta be healthy fast." Jasmine hugged her mother.

Yeah, he should be able to take care of the house. His younger siblings are also not as stubborn children as they please. She was grateful, even though their family was very simple, but her parents could educate all her children well.

"Thank you, baby." Mom smiled. Melati kisses mom's cheek and leaves her to rest.

Melati's heart is slightly sliced. How not, these are the days of determination for him. He should focus on studying for the last three days of his exam. Who would have thought this situation was a sick mother. And this isn't kidding. It must be properly guarded or it can get worse.

"Lord, help me deal with this," she said. To be honest, there was a little anxiety in his heart.

But he can't be upset. Poor Mom, pity her sisters.

"Sister, help me, yeah.." Damar approached Melati who was in the room. He seems to have a lack of understanding of his schoolwork.

Usually the mother will help. Now I have to rest. Patiently Melati explained some of the problems that Damar did not understand. The boy went back to the middle room.

Melati tried to focus again with her book. There's still a lot to read.

"Sister, I'm hungry." replace the teak that came.

Melati. His sister's face was already withered. He must have been sleepy too.

"So I cook an omelet, is that okay?" said Melati.

"Yes. Later love soy sauce Kak, on his rice." Teak followed Melati who was already heading for the kitchen.

Ten minutes is done. "The heart can eat itself, yes. Brother wants to learn again," said Melati.

"OK..." Teak smile. He sat down and started eating after a short prayer.

"Ly, look at Teak. Take her to bed and finish eating, yeah... I'll study first." Melati asked Lily to help her sister.

"Yes. I'm almost done, all right." Lily nodded.

Melati returned to struggling with books and training questions. Math exam tomorrow. All this time Melati can learn this lesson, but not a proficient one. Jasmine enjoys learning language and social things rather than numbers and counts. Fortunately, the value never fell in mathematics.

With this situation Melati is not sure tomorrow her exam can be good. How else would you like? The important thing is that he tries as much as possible. Like my message, do everything the best you can, then the results will not disappoint. That's what makes Melati never mess with her responsibilities.

"Please, Lord... Tomorrow we'll talk about something that's not too hard. My mind is really tired now." Melati put her head on the table. He felt heavy on his neck and painful in his eyes.

Yeah. tired.that's what she felt.
