The clock is 05:36 PM
Baltasar's room looks like a broken ship, lots of stuff scattered everywhere. Baltasar was looking for a cure to prevent his stomach ache but was unable to find it. I don't know how many times he had to go back and forth to the bathroom but eventually his stomach could compromise now. Two nights, two nights, Baltasar did not sleep, his face turned deathly pale and his eye bags began to crack. With all his body limp Baltasar began to lay his body on the mattress. It didn't take long, he fell asleep.
.........
The morning was beautiful. At that moment, sunlight began to shine on the earth. Warm sunlight spread throughout the city. The fresh, cool air refreshes the mind. The wings of the birds flying over our heads are a sign of happiness.
Most people choose to get up early and enjoy the atmosphere of the morning. They walk in the park or walk on the side of the road. They brought a bottle of water and a knife to make bread. There are also those who bring a train to take children who go to school.
As usual, the sound of birds chirping gave morning greetings. In the air there is a fresh smell of plants and flowers that develop. The birds fly with pleasure. All this makes the morning atmosphere more beautiful.
Most people also gather at the coffee shop to enjoy a morning cup of coffee. They talk about various things, such as previous activities, plans for today, or even plans for the future. This activity helps them start the day with excitement.
Consuella's residence everyone has gathered in the dining room except Baltasar "Time for breakfast!!" yelled at grandpa
"Well, today Grandpa seems happy why?" said Alessandro who saw grandfather was very cheerful while bringing cuisine from the kitchen
"Yes, because later grandfather wants to go fishing with his grandfather's friend. It's been a long time since Grandpa's been fishing"
"Father go with whom" asked Mr. Alonzo
"Who else, taxi!"
"It's like we need a new driver Alonzo, so if we want to go anywhere it's not difficult to find a taxi" Dilara added to her husband
"Yes, but finding someone to trust is hard on Dilara"
"If we do not seek, then we will continue to be troubled"
Alessandro had a recommendation on his mind, and he began to cut off his mother and papa's talk to give "I have a recommendation Pa! That's if you agree"
"Who?" ask her father enthusiastically
"Sir Nayak! All this time he's been working for mama (Sofia) right?"
"Oh yes, of course you can. Hold on, it looks like papa still has his number"
Seeing the coachman eating beside Emilia still empty, Alessandro ngeh that Baltasar has not come for breakfast from earlier "Baltasar by the way where ya! Kok has not come for breakfast" he asked everyone, everyone there shrugged their shoulders and some shook their heads indicating they did not know "Bi! Auntie" call Alessandro
"Yes, Alesso" replied Sema's aunt to Alessandro
"Bi! Please call Baltasar, we'll have breakfast. Anyway we're going to college together today"
"All right!"
Once everything was available, the Consuella family sat together at the dining table. His father shared Toscada Con Tomate with everyone. His mother serves fruit and toast. Everyone exchanged stories while eating with laughter. "Oliveira! Tomorrow we will go to America" said his mother
"What's!? Why so fast ma!" asked Oliveira who was shocked to hear his mother's statement
"What's so fast, until there we prepare all your needs and next month you're starting college, right?"
"But ma! I don't know which university and I'm not necessarily welcome anyway, right?"
"All that let mama set up, you just listen to mama Oliveira"
Although her heart refused to go to America, Oliveira chose to remain silent. He knew that whatever he said would not change his mother's decision, and soon Sema's aunt came to them from Baltasar's room "Master, mistress. Balt-Baltasar was unconscious, his body temperature was also high"
"What, last night he was fine, why all of a sudden he could get sick" Sema's aunt's statement instantly alarmed Alessandro
"Let's see!" take Mr. Alonzo
Mrs Dilara, Mr. Alonzo and Alessandro immediately headed to her room Baltasar, while at the dinner table left Emilia, Rafael's and Oliveira's grandfather who was upset with her departure to America "Their deeds are all right, he said, sok-sokan is sick" said Emilia alone in a whispering voice
.........
As they entered Baltasar's room, they were astonished to see that every corner of his room was in such a mess. Pieces of paper and books were piled on the floor, the remnants of the snack left unceremoniously in cabinets and tables. On top of the mattress, the blankets fall apart along with pillows that have been mixed with clothing. The balcony door opened, letting the sounds of the children outside into the room. They saw Baltasar lying lethargic with a very pale face "Why with this child!" ask Mr. Alonzo to himself
"What happened Pa!" Alessandro looked very panicked. Lady Dilara touched Baltasar's forehead with her back "Alonzo, she had a fever. Her body temperature is so hot!"
"We're taking him to the hospital" Mr. Alonzo said as he tried to embrace Baltasar
"I'm coming with Pa!" alessandro
"Let papa take him to the hospital, you guys continue to have breakfast. Dilara please take Alesso to the campus later yes"
"Yes!"
...... ...
Mr. Alonzo looked very nervous as he took Baltasar to the hospital. The forty-one-year-old man sighed many times, trying to calm himself down. When they reached the emergency room, they were greeted by doctors and paramedics who understood the situation. They quickly took Baltasar and took him to the ward.
Outside the room, Mr. Alonzo waited worriedly. He saw people who were also waiting for news from their families. The atmosphere was very gloomy, only the sound of crying and people crying could be heard.
After waiting for several hours, the doctor finally came out and said that Baltasar is in good condition and will recover in the near future. The doctor explained that "The patient in question has an excessive salt content in his body. This is a serious problem because it can cause health problems, such as hypertension and kidney disorders. This condition is usually caused by diet problems or excessive salt consumption. This can be bad for your health if not treated properly. Therefore, I give advice to patients to reduce their salt intake and foods that are high in salt. Also, patients should increase their water intake to help get rid of excessive salt. In addition, I also recommend reducing the intake of foods that are high in fat and increasing the intake of foods that contain fiber. This will help reduce fluid retention that can be caused by excessive salt consumption. In order to ensure that patients do not experience more serious health problems, I also recommend conducting laboratory examinations and consulting with other doctors. This will help your doctor identify any further problems. Patients should maintain a healthy diet, control salt intake. This will help to prevent health problems caused by excessive salt content in the body"
Hearing the explanation of the doctor Mr. Alonzo felt more relieved because Baltasar did not experience serious problems, but also felt confused, how could Baltasar have excessive salt levels in his blood. But whatever it is he is grateful and thanks the doctor and all who have helped him.
"But doc, why is his body temperature so high" asked Mr. Alonzo
"That can happen if the patient does not get enough sleep and rest, he looks very overwhelmed. But he is okay, we have neutralized the salt in his body, he can be brought home later in the afternoon but he still has to rest completely" explained the doctor

The Consuella residence
Oliveira felt very moody when he heard that he had to continue his studies in America. He felt that studying in America meant leaving his native place and his loved ones. He kept thinking about how he would deal with the sadness and longing that would come his way.
He really did not want to leave the place where he had lived for so long. He felt that he had created many memories and had many friends there. He felt that if he went to America, he would part with all the things he loved.
In addition, Oliveira is also worried about how he will adapt to the culture and environment in America. He was afraid that he would feel lonely and alien in unfamiliar places.
"Why do you look so moody huh?" asked Grandpa to come up to Oliveira and sit next to her
"Grandfather, I really don't want to go to America, why doesn't everyone in this house care about me. I don't want to go there grandpa!!"
"If it's about that! I can't help you son, it's been a unanimous decision from your mama!"
Hearing the statement that his grandfather could not help him, Oliveira also emotions "This is all grandfather's fault!!" yells
At once Rafael's grandfather was surprised to see his grandson instead blaming himself "What! Didn't I hear wrong, you said it was my fault"
"It all started with Grandpa giving me the goddamn knife gift!!"
"Well! You stabbed your friend, you should be more mature. You even participate in a wild race is not clear out there, when you lose you even stab your friend. What kind of a man is that?" firmly his grandfather while standing up from his seat and scolding Oliveira
"Enough grandpa! I can't believe Grandpa could talk to me that."
"Now depart from before me" cried his grandfather
With an angry look Oliveira left her grandfather "Oh my god, what happened to you Rafael, your son, your son-in-law even now your grandson hates you" muttered master Rafael who was disappointed in Oliveira's attitude
Suddenly the voice of his phone rang kringgg kringggggg "iya. No. I'm not fishing today Japheth, we'll postpone another time yes"
