When Kalbu Tells a Story
29. Journey to the hospital
The night wind kept us company, the night wind kept piercing my body and my mother who was lying in the wagon. Wrapped in a thick dark blue jacket, the mother fell into a deep sleep. As for Udin and I, who were taking part in this trip, we tried to push the wagon quickly. I don't want to be late when I get to the hospital, I don't want my mother's condition to worsen.
"Udin, we'd better speed up this trip!" ask me.
"Okay, Kal! But, if you're tired let me push myself."
"I can't possibly let you push this wagon by yourself. I wouldn't have the heart to see that, "
"Why are you so sad about me? I don't have a problem pushing your mom alone. "
"I don't mean like that, it's just that I don't want to bother you too much anymore, it's also grateful that you've reduced my burden."
About a hundred yards to the hospital, it could have been more than that. I don't want to look weak, I need to be strong enough to get mom to the hospital on time. When I looked at my mother, she seemed to be getting worse. His body that continued to shiver, his cough continued to bleed, even his mother's body grew weaker, opening her eyes was simply unable to. Even talking was almost inaudible, I didn't want anything to happen to my mother.
"Mother, survive! Kalbu will bring mom in time. I must be strong, for Kalbu's sake!" I said, looking towards my mother. While Udin from behind continued to watch over me, I couldn't hold back my tears in front of him. My hands occasionally wiped my tears, my feet were slowly injured and bleeding from my flip-flops breaking midway. I deliberately didn't say that to Udin, because if I said, Udin would definitely take off his sandals and he would get hurt, I wouldn't let that happen.
"Oh my God, strengthen me!" my mind was grimacing in pain.
My legs were almost powerless to walk again, my hands were occasionally painful and there was red on my palms. It will never stop me from fighting for my recovery, I will do anything for you. Maybe this can't pay all my mother's services to me since I've been in the womb, even if we give a sack of money, it'll never be enough to repay a mother's services.
The hospital is near, we will be there soon. I was so happy, I finally managed to bring mom.
...🥀...
When we arrived at the hospital, the nurse came to us and brought her into the room. I was so happy and grateful when we arrived at the hospital, there was no rejection and other challenges. Mom was immediately treated by a good doctor, Udin and I waited in front of the mother's room.
When we arrived at the hospital, I unconsciously littered the white floor with blood coming from my feet. My footprints are so scattered, thankfully... I did not get angry by the hospital, even I was treated by one of the nurses in the hospital. Udin, who knew my feet were bleeding, panicked and got mad at me.
"Kal, why didn't you tell me?" tanyakanya.
"Tell me what?" ask me innocently.
"That's.... Your feet are bleeding, why stay still? And why would it bleed?"
"Oh, this.... It's just a small wound, it was my sandal broke in the middle of the road. So, I let go and walked barefoot." I answered while treating the nurse.
Sister, "Your story is so moving that I cannot hold back my tears. "
I looked at the sister's face, "Sister cry?"
Call the sister, "Yes, I can't say anything more about your service to your mother. "
"This is the duty of a child, who else will help our parents but the child."
"What you say is true, I learned a lesson from you today. "
I finished the treatment and returned to my mother's room, upon arrival there the Doker still did not come out of the room.
"You have to be patient, the doctor will be out soon" Udin said.
I didn't calm down before the Doctor came out, I hope you're okay and you don't have any severe pain. May God give me a chance to heal my mother. Before long the Doctor came out with a slightly moody face, my heart grew increasingly frightened as if darkness was coming to cover the light of the universe.
"Dok, how's my mom doing? Is she okay?"
"So, can I come in now? I can't wait to see my mother smile and stroke her hair, "
"I can't wait to hold her and hold her hand, Doctor why shut up? Come on, Doc!"
I don't understand the doctor's silence, I don't understand what his gloomy face means. I tried to convince myself that my mom was okay.
"Din, my mother must be fine, right? My mother must be healed, my mother will definitely go home healthy." My smile was full of falsehood.
"Why is Udin quiet too?"
"Why are you all silent? What happened to my mother? Go, say!" I shouted while holding the young doctor's shirt.
"PREFERABLY, JUST LOOK INSIDE!" tell the doctor, I go straight inside. I try to get rid of my bad thoughts, I try not to care about my thoughts. But, in fact, I was useless from now on wrestling with my own mind. If the fact is that the mind is true.
Half the cloth had already almost enveloped the entire body of the mother, her face which already looked pale. No last word came out of my mouth, as if making my body loose and helpless. It was as if my fake smile was gone, as if the blooming flower had withered back.
"WHAT HAPPENED TO MOM?"
"MOTHER, YOU'RE SLEEPING, RIGHT?"
"MOTHER, WAKE UP AGAIN TOMORROW! KALBU WILL MAKE MOTHER'S FAVORITE DISHES, AND KALBU WILL NOT PROHIBIT MOTHERS FROM TAKING SAND AGAIN! YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT. "
"MOTHER, WHY SHUT UP? LET'S ANSWER, KALBU!"
"DOCTOR, NURSE, UDIN! WHY WON'T MY MOM TALK, IS SHE STILL ANGRY WITH ME. "
"YOU WHO ARE PATIENT, WE HAVE TRIED OUR BEST, BUT GOD WILLED ANOTHER. "
"MOTHER, WAKE! THEY MUST BE LYING TO KALBU. "
"MOTHER...... NO, STAY IN KALBU!"
"WAKE UP.... WAKEUP....!" my body fell, my body grew weak. Especially when the nurse took my mother to bathe, I couldn't help myself anymore. I ran after my mother, everyone witnessed my grief.
"MOTHER.... !!"
"MOTHER....!! "
"MOTHER.... DON'T GO!" I fell down, the doctor kept me calm and woke me up.
