When the Creature Falls in Love

Watermelon Cause

When he opened his eyes, Leon realized it was not his previous room. There are LED tvs, ACs, there is even a button to call a nurse. He scanned the entire room and it was certain that last night someone had moved him from the Melati room to the Suit Room of Amarta. A vip room can cost more than a million dollars a day.

The sound of water coming from the bathroom. He wanted to sit down but his body still felt weak. Luckily, Leon's mom came back from the cafeteria.

"Leon, are you conscious, son?" ask her mom to be happy.

"Mama? When's come? Papa's coming?" ask Leon weakly. Now he understood why he could be in the vip room. It was apparently the result of the actions of his parents.

"Last night, baby. Your father's taking a shower. This is Mama just bought a towel for a change of clothes."

Then Leon remembered his promise to Rara. "Ah, Leon is not at home in the hospital. Leon had an event at the street kid's place, Ma," his whine begged heavily.

But his mother quickly put on a fierce face. "Eitz! You can't go anywhere before you heal! My mom will not permit it. Then, Mama also still wants to anger you because you are stubborn. But, angry mama pending first until you get better. You, rest. Understood?" said his mother while pointing at Leon.

Leon manyun while breathing out tiredly. He knows very well. If his mother had spoken like that, then there would be no gap to refute him.

Not long after the bathroom door opened. Papa Leon who was bare-chested and only wearing shorts "Thank God you're conscious. If you don't, Papa will be overwhelmed to face your mama." The papa dateng-dateng directly ngadu aja to his son.

"It's called a mother's instinct. You guys don't have to take it!" her mother said to defend herself.

Leon and his father were also shocked. Although you could say his mother was very chatty, but the affection possessed by the woman was extraordinary. She continues to serve her husband and take care of her child despite being irritated by both.

At exactly eight in the morning, the doctor who handled Leon came to check and gave the results of the examination yesterday. He detected Leon's heart rate, breathing and a series of other examinations from head to toe.

"How, Doc?"

"Heart and breathing rates are stable. Leon was still limp because his blood pressure dropped dramatically yesterday. Later I will give you a prescription and can be taken directly in the pharmacy."

"So, what's my son really doing, Doc? Why did he suddenly faint?" asked Mama Leon worried that something bad happened to his only son.

"From the results of the labiratorium, Leon's body found a substance that can not be absorbed by Leon's body. This substance is usually found in watermelon fruit. So, it causes the intensity of urination to be high. But, it is not balanced by drinking a lot of water afterwards. Leon's body lacked fluids to cause fainting. But, no need to worry, because after spending 3-5 pieces infusion again, Leon fluid in Leon's body has returned to normal. Just dizzy," explained the doctor at length.

"Oh, so, Doc. Indeed from a small Leon can not eat watermelon fruit. I don't know why he's so unafraid of being sick like this." The mama threw her sharp gaze making Leon break out in cold sweat.

"Alright, because the examination is finished then I'm sorry first," said the doctor then moved out.

"Leon Mama has said that you can't eat watermelon? Leon you promised Mama to take care of yourself when you go to college here. Why don't you keep it. You know how panicked Mama was when she found out you were in the hospital? Mama is not diginininin," he said ala-ala Nazar.

"Udah, Mom. Mama calm down. Poor Leon," his papa's leper.

"Papa pity Leon but don't pity Mama."

"Ma, Mum. Leon's sorry, yeah. It makes you worry. I've made you guys fly from Jakarta to Yogyakarta. Leon loves you very much," he said gently hoping that the hearts of both of them were a little cooler.

"Mama sorry, but you have to tell me why you can eat watermelon. Though you also know the consequences if it's too small?" her mother began to soften.

"So, gini. Yesterday, Leon had a market visit to Bringharjo. Well, it just so happens that Leon has a group of girls named Rara. At that time the money subsidized from the campus, the only source of money that was given, was lost stolen by the same people. Rara Pinter, Ma, Pa. He gave the idea to sell our services to be able to get goods so that they can get value. Rara's son is honest too. When we almost won, he said it wasn't good to lie. Yes, finally we are honest with the lecturer, and even praised. That's it!" said Leon so embarrassed to tell how great the girl was yesterday. As if, Rara is a hero figure whose name has been anchored in Leon's heart.

"Kok even hurt girls, anyway?" goda.

"Well, yeah! So where did you eat the bowl?" Mama Leon was not fooled by Leon's tactics. He is still pursuing the story of the mysterious watermelon.

Inevitably Leon also finally continued. "Because we got a lot of stuff, we with one more girl named Rania, agreed to use all those things for street children on the street to Leon boarding. Should be today. Leon has promised Rara to come along. But, Leon ended up in this place." Leon lowered his head looking sad.

"Will no one know. Mama sure your friends can also understand if you can not come. After all, you did not come because you were sick, not because intentionally," said the mother did not accept when her son was sad because of a promise to a girl.

"And yesterday Leon had come to Rara's house to discuss today's activities. To eat watermelon anyway."

"So, did you eat watermelon at Rara's house? That girl meant you?" said the mother began to growl.

"No, Ma. So, all of them including Rara's father did not know that Leon could not eat watermelon. But Leon doesn't feel good if he doesn't feel good. Moreover, Rara's father said that the fruit is Rara's favorite. If it's like that, how would Leon say he can't eat watermelon? Leon doesn't respect the host if he doesn't eat it, Ma." Leon finally explained all the details so that both his parents did not misunderstand.

"Eh, dude! You said you ate a watermelon at your temen house called Rara, right?" sela.

"Yes, Pa."

"Don't the fathers of yesterday be Rara's father?" Leon's father looked at his wife.

"necessarily too. Yesterday the father said you just went to his house."

"Geez, could it be a gini coincidence?" said his papa while grinning.

"But Mama kesel. Because he was not directly the one who made Leon eat watermelon. Just related to yesterday he did not let us find your room treated, so Mama consider even."

"Take it, Ma. It is not good to have a grudge. Mending nyimpen love Papa in the heart of Mama. Eaaf ...."
