Widow Sama The Duda

Puskesmas - Hospital

Laila came with medicine and a bowl of porridge. With eyes that glistened, Laila fed Bu Rini. But when the porridge was still half a bowl left, Bu Rini asked Deri to feed him.

"Sama the Lele aja Ma'am. I'm going to mijitin mother again," said Deri.

"Mom wants to be bribed with you. Let's say that mom remembers the old days. It used to be your nyuapin mother. When you don't want to bribe mom?" said Ms. Rini.

Deri also shifted. Receiving the bowl of porridge that Laila gave him. Her tattooed hand looks trembling while feeding Bu Rini. Especially when Ms. Rini held her hand and thanked him. Deri's cry broke out instantly.

Yanti who saw the incident could hardly believe it. This is the Deri he knew. Deri is so affectionate and gentle. Yanti's hand rubbed Deri's back. Trying to calm her crying husband.

"Big to drink first" said Laila gave a glass to Deri.

Deri did not answer. He just took the glass and drained the water until it ran aground. The glass seemed to be held tightly by Deri. It was as if he was holding back things that could not be expressed by him.

"Bang, calm down. Mom will be healed. We'll take it to the puskesmas!" yanti.

"Mother is here" said Ms. Rini.

Hasna's crying makes Yanti have to leave Bu Rini's room. Letting Deri and Laila take care of Bu Rini both. Hope they talk to each other like brother and sister as in general. But unfortunately Deri and Laila are silent.

After Yanti came out of Bu Rini's room, the room became quiet. All that was heard was Bu Rini's breathing getting heavier. Laila ventured to talk to Deri. He decided to take his mother to the hospital.

Seeing such conditions, Laila felt that Bu Rini needed the care of a nurse. Eat porridge not to run out. The stall medicine given also did not make Laila sure of her reaction.

"Not much to say Le. Have money from where you want to take mom to the puskesmas," said Deri ketus.

Hearing Deri's tone that was quite high and ketus, Bu Rini opened her eyes. Her eyes make Deri apologize. Laila also immediately looked calm even though the annoyance at Deri was already mounting.

"How can you tell me where the money came from. You should be working bang. I wonder if there are humans like you" muttered Laila.

Deri and Laila are not sleeping. The two of them were guarding the sleeping Ms. Rini. There is no conversation between the two. They are silent and not busy with their own thoughts.

"La, how's mom doing?" ask Yanti when it's eleven o'clock at night.

"It's still like this, brother. It was shivering but not for long" replied Laila.

"Yes you slept with Hasna. Let your brother take care of my mother" said Yanti.

"I'm not sleepy Brother. My sister is sleeping. Tomorrow, I have to work. I'm going on holiday tomorrow. So staying up late is also not a problem" said Laila.

After an argument, Deri asks Laila to leave the room. As usual, Laila would choose to leave instead of having to argue with Deri. Though it feels unbearable when having to leave his mother in this state. But Deri's words were too painful to hold in that room.

"La, Hasna's big sister is Kayla huh. Don't forget the door is locked" Yanti said.

Laila, who had fallen asleep, made what Yanti said was a dream. But the longer he became aware. There were hurried footsteps and there was a bit of commotion outside the room.

"Mother" said Laila in surprise.

"Sister, I'm coming. Mother why?" laila asked as she ran over.

"You're at home. Take care of Hasna with Kayla. Let your brother and brother take you to the puskesmas. Later we change yes if you want to go there," persuaded Yanti.

Laila. He could only stand in the doorway. Seeing Yanti and Deri bring her mother into the black avanza car owned by Mr. RT, making Laila tremble. Especially when her mother looks very weak.

"Mom, what's going on?" muttered Laila while covering her face with both palms.

Hearing Hasna cry, Laila immediately closed and locked the door of her house. Hurry up to sleep next to Hasna and Kayla. While the contents of his head spun erratically. Imagine what he was so afraid of.

His eyes may be closed. But Laila's heart kept mentioning her mother's name. There was a fear he could not control. The mobile phone not far from him was stared at many times. No calls or just a message.

Until finally he grabbed the phone when the ringtone on his phone sounded loud. The phone almost fell when Laila heard from Yanti. His mother will be taken to the hospital. Without Laila asking what happened to her mother, she knew things were getting worse.

"I want to go there" asked Laila.

"La, yeah later. Please take care of Hasna and Kayla first" Yanti said.

Yanti ended her call while Laila was still sobbing. What is happening right now is very hard for him. He hopes that everything is just a dream. But the truth is that all the facts are happening.

The dark is gone. The sun has started to rise to the heat. Laila who takes care of her two older siblings makes her unaware of time. Eventually, a cell phone stole his attention.

Yanti's name is plastered on her phone screen. Chest thumping. Body's limp. What's up again? Laila was really resigned.

"Mother why Brother?" laila asked in a weak and trembling voice.

"Mother is improving, La. How's Hasna with Kayla? Aman?" ask Yanti.

"really? They are good too, brother. Not fussy at all" Laila replied.

"Thank God. I put them in La," said Yanti.

Yanti is in a difficult position. In one position, he wants to ask Laila to the safe house and Deri to go home to look after her two children. But that's impossible. He couldn't believe that Deri could do that. Honestly, Yanti had much more faith in Laila.

Then if he came home so that Laila could go to the hospital, it would be impossible to let Laila and Deri take care of both mothers. They always don't get along. Yanti was afraid that a fight would happen in front of Bu Rini and make things worse.

Yanti's choice at this time was to have one of the house neighbors accompany Laila. Not disbelieving in Laila, but the age of Laila who is still a dozen years old feels sad if you have to be at home to take care of two young children.

"Thank you, yes" Yanti told her neighbor.

Not long before his neighbor knocked on the door of the house and said what Yanti said.

"Oh my goodness, Bi Lani, but I am also fine. Sorry to be taking nicotine," said Laila.

Laila's heart was delighted when her neighbor came to accompany her tonight. Not afraid, but this was the first time he had to take care of Hasna and Kayla alone for 24 hours. Luckily, Yanti understands Laila's current situation.
