You are my eyes

I'm Sick

“Halo.”

 

Eline who was sitting in a large fish pond turned his head, when a voice sounded greeting him. He saw a boy who was the same age as him, looking at him with a smile. His eyes that were staring at Elaine glowed kindly, his smile showing dimples on his right cheek. Her hair was neatly cut, slightly waving in the wind.

 

The boy stretched out his hand. “I Ellio.” Her speech.

 

Eline was silent looking at Ellio's outstretched hand, but then he smiled and welcomed the helping hand after he thought for a moment.

 

“I'm Elaine. We've met, in the garden inside huh?” Ask Elaine. Ellio nodded his head.

 

“Iya, we met last month, in the park in.” Answer Ellio. “You are still in this hospital, not finished opening?”

 

Elaine smiled faintly.

 

“I dropped yesterday. So last night get in here again.” He said in a flat tone, as if this was a normal thing.

 

“O... What are you sick with?” Ask Ellio.

 

“I lack brain cells.” Elaine replied calmly as she observed Ellio's face. He wanted to know if there was such a radiance of pity as he usually gets from people who are new to his illness. However, that pity was not on Ellio's face. He just nodded his head.

 

“O.. So. Congenital from birth?” Ask again.

 

Elaine shook her head. “I had an accident.” He said again, while paying attention to Ellio's appearance. A slightly dirty tshirt hit the ground, jeans shorts that are also slightly exposed to the ground, sneakers. A simple appearance, but seeing the radiance of Ellio's sincere eyes, Elaine felt that Ellio was harmless. Ellio seems to be a friend.

 

“You want to tell me?” Follow Elaine again, then look into Ellio's eyes with a smile. Ellio smiled and nodded his head, then sat down at the conblock used as a garden barrier.

 

Elaine recounted the incident that happened to her during a field trip two years ago. Ellio listened to it without interrupting it at all. Sometimes he just nodded his head.

 

“Sunflower powder?” He said when Elaine told me about the treatment she needed. Elaine nodded her head.

 

“That's how, Papa always tried to find it but it was very difficult. Just imagine, in one sunflower floret, how much powder can be produced? That's too little. Even until Papa contacted the sunflower plantation, the gathered powder couldn't be enough for my needs for a month. Sometimes it's only been three to four months, I get the serum. Last one yesterday, even six months.” Elaine said again as her eyes stared at the clouds in the sky.

 

“But I ga what.” He looked at Ellio, then smiled. “I just need to be patient waiting. Papa's always trying, I just need to hang on a little more. With this alone, my development has been very good.”

 

Ellio looked at Elaine's smiling face, he returned with a smile.

 

“You are great, you are strong. You can definitely heal. From now on, we're friends, huh? I will always wait for you here. Whenever you seek treatment, we can meet. Whether you want a story or play anything, I'll accompany you.” Said Ellio as he stretched out his little finger.

 

Elaine smiled again, her narrowed eyes making her white face even sweeter as she smiled. Ellio was fixated as Elaine also stretched out her pinky and hooked it to Ellio's pinky.

 

“I keep your promise. From now on, we're friends, right? Don't forget to accompany me every time I'm here.” Smile Elaine again.

 

They then sat side by side staring at the fish pond before them. Ellio remained seated in the conblock, Elaine was sitting in her wheelchair. They tell a variety of stories, ranging from the daily activities of Elaine, the subjects that Elaine learned today, even the character of her private teacher also told Elaine. Occasionally, Ellio chimed in on Elaine's story with his jokes, making Elaine laugh in laughter. It turns out that Ellio is very tampers twist Elaine's story until finally Elaine laughs.

 

 

Papa Elaine stared at the Ellio she had just seen this time. Who is this kid? Why was Elaine so happy with him?

 

“Papa!” Elaine's smile, welcoming the arrival of her father. He then pointed to Ellio, “Include, Pa, this is Elaine's friend, his name is Ellio. Ellio, this is my papaku.” Elaine also introduced Ellio to her papa.

 

“Good afternoon, Om.” Ellio thrust out his hand, bringing papa Elaine into the palm. “I Ellio. What's up, Om?” Connect again.

 

“Oh, hello, Ellio. I'm Elaine's papa, just call Om Dylan.” Said Om Dylan shaking Ellio's hand. “Who are you here with?” Ask Dylan again to Ellio.

 

“With mom, Om. Mama's upstairs, looking at oma.” Answer Ellio.

 

Om Dylan nodded his head, then turned his gaze to Elaine. “El, we're back in the room? Soon the doctor will be coming.” Then he turned his face to Ellio. “Ellio, we say yes first, tomorrow just messing around again.” Reciprocity.

Ellio nodded, then looked at Elaine. “I'll come again tomorrow.” He said with a smile, looking deeply into Elaine's eyes. Elaine was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded her head.

 

“I wait.” Answer Elaine.

 

Kening Om Dylan wrinkled.  Is this kid going to see him again tomorrow? Why did he promise Elaine that he didn't come tomorrow, wouldn't Elaine be sad?

 

But Om Dylan did not say anything more, he immediately turned Elaine's wheelchair and directed her to Elaine's inpatient room. Elaine and Ellio waved each other, hoping to see each other again tomorrow.

 

Ellio looked at the back of Om Dylan and Elaine who were starting to leave the park. Ellio's eyes glazed over.

 

For my sake, you sacrificed until like this.

I have been waiting for this meeting for a long time,

for thousands of years I waited.

But once we meet, you are in a state of pain.

Your sacrifice, I will be replaced dozens of times over.

“Who is the child?” papa Dylan asked Elaine.

 

Elaine shook her head. “Now met, Pa.” Answer slowly.

 

“Be careful yes, son,” mama Angel, who is mama Elaine, commemorate her daughter, “We must remain vigilant, take good care of ourselves. Don't trust others easily.”

 

Elaine leaned in, toying with her finger. Yeah, why am I so quick to trust Ellio? Who the hell is he?

 

Elaine recalled, earlier during the conversation with Ellio, they talked more about Elaine. Elaine doesn't know anything about Ellio, all she knows is that Ellio and his mother are visiting him at this hospital. I have to ask you more about her, Inner Elaine. Nevertheless, the impression that Ellio left behind could still make Elaine smile. Elaine also feels safe when close to Ellio, even though mom has given her warning.

 

“Ya, Ma.” Finally that's all that came out of Elaine's lips. He reminded himself to ask Ellio about himself.
