Tone & Sound
#40 [Bab. a pair of orange shells]
[Recommendations Backsound fitting when reading this : Celine Hayes - Silent Prayer]
"Miss,"
The tone stopped his footsteps as well. And look at the Sound that is now focusing on paying attention to something.
Room number ten. From behind the glass, there was a small woman who was playing with a brown teddy bear. The little girl sat on the bed and looked happy. Her hair is pretty black. His skin was white and his face was glowing. Tone took turns looking at the little girl, then went back to seeing Sound again.
He doesn't understand at all. Who's the girl? Why does the sound focus so much on seeing it? Was their purpose in coming to the hospital to meet the girl? The tone is still guessing.
"Lea." call out the sound.
But his eyes were still fixed on the little girl who was inside the room.
"What's a love for someone who's too good at saving his pain?" ask Sound.
Tone wailed. What did the sentence sound like just now? Nada still doesn't understand. He, now staring at the sound.
"Miss,"
"Alyas. He's Mama's favorite son, Lea."
Smiling sounds. Looking back at Nada.
The little girl's name was Alya. Tone is paying attention. The age of the little girl may still be four or five years. He was still happily playing with a brown teddy bear. It clearly gave birth to a smile from his face. But, does it deserve that beautiful smile to be born in a hospital room? Tone back to see Sound.
"Two years ago, Alya brought Mama here. Transferred from Jakarta, Lea. Because there is not a single doctor who can cure the disease." clear Sound.
"Mom." The sound looked at Nada, then back at Alya.
"Two years ago since Alya was first treated, doctors said he could only last at most three to six months. But I can't believe it, because, yeah, just try to see." Smiling sounds. His eyes were still glued to Alya. Nada who had since noticed the sound, now again saw Alya as well.
A child as small as Alya, had to feel that immense pain. But the sound is right. Although you may already know that he is soon, or already know about the doctor who very willing to give a period of time for Alya in the world, look. The little girl's face looked like she wasn't suffering from any disease. His face was cheerful even though his heart might be sullen. A little elf whose job is to be happy.
Tone looked at the small box he had been holding since, then smiled. Staring at Sound.
"Nan, it turns out that there are people who are better at storing their pain" said Nada.
Smiling sounds too.
"What do you want?" said Nada after seeing the Sound suddenly spread both of her hands.
"You're hurting you."
"Don't look for opportunities, huh."
"Yes, I can." Laughing sounds. Same with Nada.
"Jaudah come in, Lea. I want to know you as Alya."
Nada nods.
Then they stepped slowly inside the number ten hospital room. Inside was that great little girl.
Alyas. A little girl who may be destined to be strong and as an example of a human being who is able to accept something that becomes his destiny. Yes, at least, Nada learned from Alya about accepting pain. And about how to be a strong human being.
