Between Love and Corona

Between Love and Corona
Just Pray for Me


Hearing the astonishing news, Surya seemed to be in disbelief and the man thought about what he could do right now.


"What can I do on this Moon?" surya asked with a voice so soft.


Not only is the Moon destroyed, but now Surya is also thinking about how to do something for the Moon at this time. Surya did not expect, his girlfriend there was exposed to Covid. Though according to Surya, the Moon is a girl who is very clean, regularly takes vitamins, and also routinely wears a mask when out of the house.


In fact, those who take care of themselves as well as possible can still be exposed to Corona. This virus does infect people without looking at the feathers.


Across the street the moon was silent. It was inevitable at a time like this, he needed the support of those closest to him. However, now his parents are in Gunung Kidul, and Surya is in Makassar.


Calming his own heart, the Moon sighed slowly. "Just pray for me, Surya.." said the Moon solemnly.


For the current Moon it is undeniable that she needs prayer. Yes, the prayer is a song that leads to the throne where God is enthroned, although left by the sound of thousands of people who are wailing, the prayer will be heard in the ears of God.


Even so with the Moon, in her fallen state, her heart wailed, it was prayer that gave her strength.


Surya seemed to nod his head with his empty gaze. "For sure I will pray for you, Moon .. pray for one of the ways I hold you from afar. What will the next one be like?" ask Surya to the Moon.


The moon shakes its head. "I don't know Surya .. I'm still waiting for the Puskesmas to come here. I wish I could isolate myself at home. Besides, I'm just symptomatic. I have a fever and cough." said Moon.


Surya listened to the story of the Moon well, indeed the symptoms are only mild, but nevertheless the name Covid remains Covid. Solar is still worried about the current condition of the Moon.


"Do you think I'd better go home, Moon? If there are no airplanes, I can get on a ship" Surya said suddenly.


The Moon shook her head. "No need.." the girl smiled bitterly. "After all, even if you go home, we can't meet. I still have to make sure I'm completely healed."


Surya ruffled his hair rough. Whatever he's gonna do is kind of dead-end. Want to go home and accompany the Moon, but it is true that the Moon must heal. If you don't go home, Surya feels guilty.


"I want to be with you right now, Moon...." Surya spoke in lethargy. In his heart, he wanted to accompany the Moon. He wanted to be a man that the Moon could rely on.


The moon smiled and drank water in her room before she began to talk to Surya. "Just pray for me, Surya .. pray that I get well soon and that my pain will be healed soon." said Moon calmly.


Surya exhaled his breath violently. "If it were just a prayer, I would have prayed for you. You don't need anything else? I can buy it from here. Medicine, vitamins, masks, or whatever I can buy from here."


"Everything has Surya .. in the house everything is already there. Even earlier, Bintang also put vitamins and oxygen saturation devices on the doorstep. So that everything was there." the Moon told Surya.


Hearing again the name 'Star', Surya seems to feel that he is not okay.


Surya inwardly, the man smiled wryly. Yes, at a crucial time like this, it is the Star that actually gives the Moon what it needs.


It felt like Surya wanted to get angry, but if he got angry and made the Moon think hard, Surya was afraid that it would have an impact on the decline of his immune system.


As a result, Surya could only hold his frustration in his heart. "Star gave you what?" surya's real question is just a formality.


Once again the Moon opened the plastic bag that had been given the Star. "There are vitamins, inhalers, and oxygen saturation devices. The star put it on the doorstep." the story told Surya.


Surya then nodded lethargicly, but he wanted to offer something else to the Moon. "Are you sure you don't need any more Moon? Thermometer or something?"


The Moon Chief shook his head weakly. "No... I have a thermometer at home. Okay, Surya, I'll hang up first. I came to the house, apparently from Puskesmas. I opened the door for them first."


"Yes Month ... Speedy recovery is. I love you...." Surya then hung up his phone call.


After turning off his phone, the Moon came back down and opened the door for health workers who came home.


"Good Lion ... with Mother Moon huh?" ask the health worker who came to his house using the complete Personal Protective Equipment.


The moon nodded its head. "Yes, right ... I'm the Moon."


The health worker came in, then checked the condition of the Moon. "So what did you feel?" once he learned that the Moon was young, health workers called 'Mbak' to the Moon.


"I had a fever a few days ago and was coughing. It seems that's all I feel." replied the Moon who answered the question from the health worker.


Then health workers through a swab test again to the Moon as a procedure to check the health of patients exposed to the Corona virus. The moon was preparing to sit up and raise his face, as health workers re-inserted the swab into his nasal cavity and throat cavity.


When plugged in his nose, the Moon shed tears. Because the swab test feels more painful.


"Please wait three more days yes Mbak .. if indeed the symptoms are moderate, while Mbak Bulan can self-isolate first at home. Pay attention to self-isolation procedures such as always wearing a mask and removing used masks in the designated place, If sick (there are symptoms of fever, flu and cough), then stay at home. Do not go to work, school, to the market or to public spaces to prevent community transmission. Take advantage of telemedicine or social media health facilities and avoid public transportation. Tell your doctor and nurse about complaints and symptoms, as well as a history of working to the affected area or contact with COVID-19 patients. While at home, you can work at home. Use separate rooms from other family members, and keep a distance of 1 meter from family members. Determine the daily temperature check, observe cough and shortness of breath. Avoid sharing eating utensils and bath and bedding. Call the health care facility immediately if the pain persists such as shortness of breath and high fever, to get further treatment."


The moon listened carefully to the explanation of the health worker in earnest.


"Later three more days, we will come again to do a swab test again yes Mbak .. keep the spirit, hopefully soon negative." said the health worker who then resigned from the Moon house.
