Will Not Be Substituted

Chapter 39: Panic

The wall clock shows two o'clock in the evening when Caca opens his eyes. The girl looked at the husband who was still curled up with a blanket wrapped all over his body.

Caca sat himself down, then pressed the back of his hand against Abhimanyu's forehead. Caca was shocked when it turned out that her husband's body temperature was still the same as last night.

“Kok, hasn't come down anyway,” muttered the girl in a panic. He is confused how. Before going to bed, she gave her husband medicine. However, it seemed that the medicine did not work at all.

Abhimanyu's wife again filled the basin with warm water. Replacing the compress on Abhimanyu's head that has dried out for some time, maybe since a few hours ago. Caca said he was sleeping comfortably, even though his husband was sick like that.

After putting the compress back on her husband's forehead, Caca decided to call her mother. He just remembered that Orange is a doctor who certainly knows what he should do.

It felt like Caca was slamming her own phone when the call had not been picked up by her mother. He almost cried when the halo from across the phone was heard.

“Ma,” call Caca with a worried tone. His lips were shaking no longer.

“What's up, Brother? How, this time phone mama?” asked Orange with a voice still sounded very sticky. Obviously, that woman must have just opened her eyes.

“Ma, A-Abi from semalem fever. I gave you a heat-lowering drug, but until now it hasn't been hot. How should I go?” ask the girl in despair. Caca never took care of the sick, because when his sister was sick, the mother checked them out. He did not have to bother thinking which medicine was right for them. His mother who is a doctor certainly knows better and does not easily panic when experiencing events like this.

“Loh, how can you?” ask Orange a little surprised. “Try you asked your mother-in-law. Maybe Bu Nabila better know which drug Abi usually takes when sick like this.”

“But, Ma ...” Caca. Biting his finger, worried that something bad would happen to haunt his head. “I'm afraid of getting scolded by mother,” he continued in a vibrating voice.

“Kak, Brother calm down first.” Orange is calming. From his voice Orange could tell the princess was in confusion. “Sit down first to relax, okay?” say Orange again.

Caca obeyed the mother's orders. He sat at the feet of Abhimanyu. Try to calm himself by taking a deep breath and throwing it away slowly.

“Try now you go to your mother-in-law's room. Do not be afraid, mama sure Bu Nabila will not be angry.”

“Sorry, Bun. I thought Abi's fever was coming down after I gave her the medicine,” Caca said a little nervously. He saw the radiance of worry from his father-in-law that was so great. It was as if Abi's pain was a very bad event.

Nabila did not answer Caca's apology. The woman focused on her son who was currently half conscious.

“Abi, wake. We're going to the hospital, huh?”

Caca was still confused when her mother-in-law decided to take Abhimanyu to the hospital. Isn't a fever like Abi still manageable on its own?. The girl asked herself.

“Bun, can't Abi still handle it ourselves? Why was he taken to the hospital?” caca asked as the mother-in-law tried to sit her son down.

“How are you, anyway, Ca? Your husband has a fever since last night until now has not subsided even though you have given medicine, and you still ask why?” the woman's snatch made Caca squeak.

Caca's chest tightness heard the mother-in-law's high tone, but the woman tried to remain calm and unmoved by the circumstances.

“Rather than you just shut up and ask a lot, mending you help mommy bring Abi down!” tell the woman still with a volume that can not be said to be low.

By holding back her fear Caca brought Abhimanyu down with Dio who had been in her room since when. Upon arriving at the living room, Caca heard the sound of a car stopping right in front of the house.

Arjuna who was behind the wheel asked Caca to immediately bring Abhimanyu into the car. The middle-aged man said Abhimanyu needed immediate medical attention.
