ANTIQUE NURSE
Juice a Friend
She checks the doors and windows. After being convinced that it was closed and locked, the girl entered the room. He climbed on the bed and lay down beside Enin. Today he is not going anywhere because Jojo has left for Singapore. Every day Adinda just at home learning the cuisine of enin.
“You don't work, Din?”
“But enin. Om Jojo is still in Singapore, he has a heart attack, he said.”
“Innalillahi.. hopefully nothing ya.”
“Aamiin.”
Adinda changed her sleeping position to be sideways. His hands hugged Enin who was still lying on his back. His mind floated on Radix's speech as he expressed feelings. Then Adinda recalled the moment Jojo hugged and kissed her forehead. His face warmed up, remembering that.
“Din.. do you like Jojo?” enin's voice successfully broke Adinda's daydream.
“Hmm.. Originally Dinda was scared, enin. Jojo was once angry with Dinda. She said Dinda was just a hypocritical woman trying to get sympathy with her hard life. But now Jojo is good with me. He also buyin hp, continued yesterday before leaving, om Jojo give money to me.”
“Takin then no dear. He behaves like that because he doesn't know you yet. And now that she knows you, she knows that you're a good girl.”
“Enin. om Jojo told me to go to college. He said he'd pay for my college. According to enin, I took no offer?”
“If according to enin, take aja. You have to be good at taking advantage of opportunities. When else do you meet a good person and care about you like Jojo.”
“But later if Jojo om ask in return how?”
“Most in return you were taken to penghulu.”
“Iih enin.”
Enin chuckled, without even looking he could guess that his grandson's cheeks were blushing at hearing his teasing. Enin took a deep breath. All this time he survived in the middle of the disease that afflicted him because he was still worried about the state of the grandson. But now his heart was a little calm knowing there was someone who was so attentive to Adinda.
“Enin.. yesterday kang Radix said love me.”
“Keep answering what?”
“Not answered anything enin. I don't know how I feel about Radix.. Kang Radix was a good person, humorous as well. But why don't I deg-degan ya enin if deket him. Said if we like someone our heart likes deg-degan.”
Enin again chuckled at his grandson's innocent words. During school Adinda was never close to the opposite sex. His female friends can be counted on the fingers. Since sitting in high school, Adinda has been working part-time to fulfill their lives because enin is sickly.
“Enin, yesterday before leaving, om Jojo hug the same kiss me on the forehead.”
Enin changed his sleeping position to the side. Now they lie face to face. He rubbed Adinda's long, jet-black hair. A smile spread across her face as her beloved granddaughter had already grown into a beautiful girl. There are a lot of Adam people who like it.
“Keep how do you feel?”
“Hmm.. here deg-degan, enin,” Adinda pointed to her chest.
“Keep why today Dinda kangen so much yes om Jojo. Usually he sends a message that he is rich taking medicine. Ask this, tell that, it has to be this way, it has to be that way. Anyway really chatty. But now it's quiet,”.
“That's a sign you like him,” enin swish the nose of the grandson.
“Masa anyway? Huaaa means I like the same om-om dong enin.”
“Ish you. Jojo is not old. He said he was only 29 years old. Means only 10 years different, it is still natural kok.”
“But om Jojo also again deket same sister Luna. Dancer who was up that leaf. If Dinda is nothing compared to Luna's sister. Beautiful, educated, good career. Try bandingin with Dinda, lose far enin. Dinda just graduated SMA, no one can be proud of Dinda. Jojo's om is good only because of pity.”
Enin gently rubbed the top of Adinda's head. His heart was listening to the words of his grandson. If he had a lot of money, maybe he could send his granddaughter to college. But what power, in his old age did not have a valuable treasure.
Adinda started yawning, then patted her granddaughter's back gently. Soon, Adinda closed her eyes. Enin again rubbed the top of the girl's head. In his heart continue to pray that the grandson is given happiness and can enjoy a better life.

The next day Radix came to pay a visit to Adinda's residence. Besides being driven by longing, the young man also wanted to hear the answer to his love statement the other day. Dressed in jeans and a white T-shirt wrapped in a short-sleeved checkered shirt, Radix looks handsome.
After taking a deep breath, he knocked on the door while saying his regards. Before long the door opened, from inside out Adinda wore knee-length jeans and a loose t-shirt. The girl allowed Radix to enter.
“Tumben to here, what is kang?”
“Kangen is the same as you.”
“Ish si akang mulegombal.”
“Times so Deni Cagur's men have nothing, right?” Radix rubbed the nape to remove the groggy that suddenly struck.
“Hmm.. Din, take a walk, we eat meatballs or where it is.”
“How is kang. From the morning enin is not healthy, I can not leave enin.”
“Oh is well. Or we'll buy the meat in a deket place. Eat it also at home so you can keep enin.”
“Hmm. I'll go to enin first yes.”
Adinda went into the room. Not long after he's out. Together with Radix, the two left home. Radix drove its second-wheeled vehicle to a meatball vendor near the hospital. It is said that the meat taste is delicious.
After waiting in line and waiting for the order, finally two packs of meatballs were brought home. Both of them chose to sit on the floor enjoying the meatballs that look puff of smoke. While eating, Radix composed the words to ask Adinda's answer.
“Hmm.. Din, he rich for the next few weeks I will be busy deh.”
“Kang lecture?”
“Same lecture filming. The plan is tomorrow we start filming. Doain yes.”
“Iya kang's. Dinda doain filming smoothly continue later the film sell-out and kang Radix can be a famous artist, aamiin.”
“Aamiin.. Honey yes, you are not my co-star.”
The director tells her that the scene of him and Gurit meeting a couple will remain, only that the cast will be replaced. Without the director saying, the young man knew that Jojo was the one who failed him to become Adinda's lover on the big screen. That guy is a tough rival to beat.
“Din... about which time?”
“What's kang?”
“You want to be my girlfriend?”
Adinda was silent for a moment. The girl did not expect that Radix would ask for an answer so soon. But inevitably he must immediately give an answer so that Radix does not continue to hope for him. After taking a deep breath, Adinda looked towards Radix. It seemed that the young man was looking forward anxiously waiting for his answer.
“Sorry yes kang, we are friends aja.”
Radix smiled wryly hearing that. Her dream of ending her retirement in the near future is gone already. But he still thinks positively, now friends, who the next year they can really match.
“Iya Din, nothing kok.”
“Sorry yes kang.”
Adinda lowered her head, vividly pictured how the girl was feeling unwell with the rejection she had just done. Radix is not feeling well. He who is rejected why he feels guilty.
“Din.. You know not what water-water can fly?”
“Airkopter.”
“Not.”
“Air fly.”
“Hahaha... no.”.
“Keep what?”
Adinda's smile rose hearing Radix's crisp guess. He also gave a guess to the young man before him.
“Truk... What truck can fly?”
“Helikoptruk.”
“Ish...” Radix laughed at Adinda's annoyance because her guess was correct. Now replace him who gives a guess.
“Small white can fly, what is hayo?”
He thought for a moment, then began to mention answers that were all considered wrong by Radix. The girl was silent, her forehead seemed to be wrinkled at the thought of Radix's absurd guess.
“Talk? (sunny?).”
“He deh. What's the answer?”
“Nasi nempel on huahahaha..”.
“Ish gaje kang Radix mah.”
“Nih last. Juice... What juice tastes bitter continues to make you want to cry roll-ups?”
“Jus paria.”
“Salah.”
“Paria juice mixed brotowali continue to be given coffee.”
“Huahaha. what the hell is the answer to kuroyokan.”
“Keep what?”
“Jus to friend.”
The sister fell silent. Indirectly Radix like being insinuating him. Realize that his guess has offended Adinda. The young man instantly damaged the top of the girl's head.
“Ngga need baper, just guess doang.”
Radix continues to damage Adinda's head but her movements are getting faster. Now Radix's hands even ruffled Adinda's hair to a mess of uncertain direction. Karuan Adinda was upset. He immediately landed a death pinch on the young man's waist.
“Aduh.. auh aching Din. mercy.”
“Rassain.”
The two laughed at the same time. Guessing did not clearly continue. Sometimes Adinda's voice sounds because Radix continues to give a bad answer to the guess he made. In his heart Radix felt happy, although rejected but still able to talk together while looking at his sweet smile was enough for him.

Finish praying isya, as usual Adinda check the doors and windows. Then he went into the room. It's been two nights now, he's always gone to bed early because there's no work. Adinda grabbed the phone that was on the nightstand. A disappointed look on his face when he saw no incoming message on his phone.
Adinda then checked her IG account. There are only Radix posts. There are no stories or posts from IG Jojo. I want it to feel like Adinda contacted Jojo first, asking about the news and also the state of his om. But the girl was afraid of disturbing. He put the phone back on the new nightstand and then climbed on the bed.
Enin fell asleep first. In the morning, Enin's condition was not okay. The old woman did not get off her bed either. Adinda looked at her enin which was being closed with her peace. The girl looked at the grandmother. He feels a little strange. There was no movement from the woman.
Adinda approached and watched more closely. He looked towards Enin's chest. There is no movement up and down like a person breathing. She began to panic, putting her index finger close to her nose. Again he did not feel the air blowing from the nostrils.
Adinda put her head on Enin's chest. His ears tried to catch the sound of his grandmother's heartbeat. But apparently he couldn't hear anything. Adinda grabbed Enin's hand and then held her wrist. The girl panicked when she felt nothing.
With trembling hands, Adinda uncovers the blanket that covers the grandmother's legs. His feet were filled with wrinkles. Skin of the feet feels cold. My sister started to panic. Shaken the body enin while calling out to him.
“Enin. enin. wake up enin.”.
The old woman nodded. The sister panicked. He shook his body again, his voice grew louder to call out to him. But all in vain, no response whatsoever.
The sister rushed out of the room. In a hurry to open the door of the house then darted towards the house bu Teni which is located only intermittent two houses. The door of the green house was painted.
“Assalamu’alaikum. bu. bu Teni. assalamu’alaikum.”.
GECK
GECK
GECK
“Waalaikumsalam,” heard the answer from inside the house.
The door of the house opened, Ms. Teni emerged from behind it. The middle-aged woman was surprised to see Adinda standing in front of her house tearfully.
“Dinda you why?”
“Bu.. please enin bu.. enin.”
“Enin why?”
“Enin.. have no breath ma'am.”
“Astaghfirullah.”
Bu Teni rushed to the enin residence followed by Adinda. His son who heard the commotion outside the house rushed over. Ms. Teni immediately checked the state of enin. She stood by the bed, crying incessantly.
“Innalillahi wa inna ilaihi. Enin you have returned to the grace of Allah.”
My sister's cry broke hearing that. He immediately rushed towards the grandmother while hugging her tightly. Ms. Teni asked, Mia her son to tell RT sir about enin. The girl rushed out to carry out her mother's orders.
“Enin... don't stay in Dinda... Dinda has no one but Enin. Do not stay in Dinda, enin.”.
She continued to cry while hugging Enin. Bu Teni approached then pulled the girl's body away from the enin. Cuddled by the girl who had been considered like her own child.
“Why stay in Dinda bu.. now Dinda has no one else.”
“Sabar Dinda, this has become the will of God. You still have a mother. You are not alone.”
Ms. Teni broke her embrace when the sound of some people entering the house sounded. Mr. RT and several other neighbors went into the room to check the state of the enin. After confirming that enin had indeed died, RT sir immediately gave his instructions.
“Asep, you to the mosque, announce to the citizens about enin. Jana, you go to the house of Haji Soleh ask for shroud and equipment for mayit. Ms. Teni please help Dinda here huh. Later let my wife coordinate other mothers.”
“Iya sir.”
Everyone started to get busy helping Adinda prepare for the funeral. Since it was already night, RT sir decided to bathe enin tomorrow morning. He also went straight to the cemetery guard house near their residence.
In the midst of busy people, Adinda just sat down beside the body of the grandmother who was still on the bed. Tears unceasingly rolled down his cheeks. His mouth kept muttering to the grandmother who could no longer hear his voice.
She could not believe that her grandmother had left her. Though earlier after praying isya congregated, he still talked briefly with enin. Suddenly I remembered Jojo. At a time like this, the girl wished Jojo was by her side, giving her strength and protection.
“Om Jo. hiks. Om Jo... Cepet home.”
