Butterfly In You
Chapter 87: The Mother-Common-Mother Bladder

It has been a week since Sarah came to Shehan's house and Sarah hasn't come back until now. Since then, LiIis always found her son-Nurbanu looked weak and less excited. Coming home from Kindergarten school, Nurbanu was not as passionate as usual. He rarely spoke to the extent that his Kindergarten teacher-Bu Sekar complained about Nurbanu's attitude like this to Lilis.

"Bu Lilis, I noticed during this week Nurbanu looks different than usual."

"Different how, Master Sekar?"

The two women had a conversation in the counselling room after class. Bu Sekar explained that in the class, Nurbanu is now the longest student finished doing the task. Nurbanu was previously an active student. He also rarely hangs out with his friends during break hours. Prefer to spend time alone in class while drawing something.

"Is that so, Mom?"

"Yes, Miss LiIis. I think Nurbanu is becoming more sullen. I asked Nurbanu about it once, but Nurbanu kept quiet and shook his head a few times. Sorry Ms. LiIis, I would like to ask. Is there a problem at home that makes Nurbanu like this?"

Lilis let out a long breath. He remembered what happened three days ago. At that time as usual Lilis told a story to Nurbanu before the child went to bed. This habit has existed since LiIis was still a baby sitter-Nurbanu.

Finished telling the fairy tale and Nurbanu was asleep, LiIis rose from the edge of the bed, about to put the fairy tale book she had read earlier onto the bookshelf near an ornamental shelf full of various forms of dolls.

While tucking the book into other books, LiIis accidentally dropped a picture book tucked irregularly.

"Eh, there's a book that's falling!"

LiIis' thin smile was still engraved when taking the picture book. Ising-LiIis also opened the book, wanting to see the picture that Nurbanu had made. Next LiIis was glued and frozen. Knowing there are many pictures of a whole family that Nurbanu made. In fact, in each picture, Nurbanu wrote the names of each member of his family.

'Papa-Nurbanu-Mama.'

There was absolutely no LiIis name there. He also realized that his position as a connecting mother will never be able to replace the position of a biological mother.

'Nurbanu longs for the wholeness of his family as he once did, ' Inner Lilis, poignant.

Chequek!

The creaking of the door was out slowly as the lever was pulled slowly by LiIis this morning. As usual, he went into Nurbanu's room to wake up and prepare the little boy to go to Sunflower School.

"Ruburbanu! Wake, Honey!" Lilis sat on the edge of the bed. Gently shake the child's arm she continued, "Nurbanu, wake up! It's time to go to school."

LiIis's hand that was shaking her arm turned to hold her forehead. When their skin touched, Lilis immediately gasped - feeling Nurbanu's body temperature was higher than usual.

"Ruburbanu! Nurban!"

Several times LiIis called out, but Nurbanu kept silent. That made Lilis panic.

"Ruburbanu! Nurban!"

Lilis called louder this time and seemed to be paying off. Nurbanu blinked weakly while grimacing.

"Sister Li-lis..," he called slowly. His face looked in pain

"Nurbanu why, honey?"

Again-Lilis held Nurbanu's forehead with the back of her hand. Want to make sure what happened. Surely LiIis's guess is that the child is sick. Her body temperature is high. The hot air from Nurbanu's body could immediately be felt by LiIis, slung onto the back of her hand.

"You're sick, huh? Why is it suddenly like this, honey?" Lilis was worried, "Sister Lilis call Papa first, yes!"

"Sister Li-lis...." Nurbanu's call stopped LiIis from rising from the edge of the bed, then turned her head again.

"Yes, Banu?"

"Banu ha-us, sister," ringis Nurbanu. His hand was trying to reach Lilis.

"Haus, huh? Wait a minute, Brother Lilis get you some water." Soon LiIis took a glass of water located on the nightstand and gave it to Nurbanu. "Come, drink Banu!"

Lilis helped Nurbanu sit down. Holding a glass while feeding water to his mouth. Nurbanu slowly sipped water several times to wet his thirst. After finishing, Lilis put the glass back on the nightstand and laid Nurbanu.

"Nurbanu wait a minute, yeah! Brother LiIis call Papa first."

Nurbanu shut his eyes. Not indifferent to LiIis' words. Lilis hurriedly went to the main room. She meets a shehan who is dressed.

"Buck...." Lilis wandered from the doorway to the dressing room.

Shehan turned a quick glance and refocused on the wrist buttons of his work shirt. "Have you prepared Nurbanu?"

"That's what I want to say, Mas" said Lilis when the distance between the two is close, "Nurbanu is sick. Looks like a fever because his body temperature is high."

"Fever?" Suddenly Shehan gasped.

"Yes, Mum." Lilis was still frowning in panic.

"Have you checked her temperature?"

"Here you go, my mom."

"I'll call Doctor Made now."

"Yes, Lilis."

Shehan picked up her dresser lying on the dresser. While LiIis went again to Nurbanu's room. Check Nurbanu's body temperature, this time using a thermometer available in the medicine cabinet. The result actually made Lilis more anxious.

"Lun, Honey." Lilis rubbed Nurbanu's head to give comfort, "you know Kak LiIis that Banu needs something, yes."

Nurbanu remained silent while still closing his eyes. On the one hand, Shehan postponed his schedule to leave for work to wait for the Made-Family Doctor to arrive. Fortunately, Doctor Made was quick to respond and was not serving other patients so he could immediately visit Shehan's house.

"Good morning, Doctor Made," said Shehan on the main porch of the house.

"Good morning, Mr. Shehan. Who's sick?"

"My daughter, Doctor."

"Oh, Nurbanu, huh?"

"Yes, Doctor. Please enter!"

Doctor Made gave a short nod then walked into the house. He followed Shehan along to Nurbanu's room. Lilis was always there, looking after the children.

Dr. Made was quick to check Nurbanu's health condition using a stethoscope. Attach the medical device to some parts of the body. The man whose real name is I Made Budi Sartika nodded several times after concluding the pain suffered by Nurbanu.

"How did it go, Doctor?" Shehan asked. Lilis, who was standing next to her husband, was worried, waiting for the doctor's answer.

"Nurbanu has fever and dehydration. His body lacks fluids. Has Nurbanu's diet been irregular for some time?"

Shehan remembers the last time Sarah came, Nurbanu asked Sarah to stay with them again. However, Sarah's refusal had left Nurbanu disappointed and sad. Since that night, Nurbanu sulked, starting to not want to eat. Must be persuaded even forced, then Nurbanu want to eat.

"Yes, Doctor. Lately, Nurbanu has been difficult to eat" replied Shehan.

"Now I give medicine to Nurbanu, but please be noticed and keep his diet in order to be regular. Expand also fluid intake because the cause of Nurbanu fever starts from deep heat."

"Okay, Doctor."

Doctor Made put his stethoscope back in his bag. Not to miss giving the necessary medicines. Finished duty, Doctor Made leaves. Shehan escorted her to the main porch of the house. While Lilis went to the kitchen, preparing food for Nurbanu.

A few moments later.

"Lilis, please take care of Nurbanu. I'll call Sarah too so I can take turns with you to take care of Nurbanu."

"Yes, Mas. I will definitely take good care of Nurbanu."

"Thank you in advance, LiIis."

Lilis nodded briefly. "Yes, Mum."

Shehan rubbed Lilis' shoulder twice, as a farewell. The Turkish man left Nurbanu's room and went to his office to work.

While Sarah had not yet arrived, Lilis painstakingly fed Nurbanu some porridge. Although Nurbanu initially refused, LiIis patiently persuaded the child to eat.

"Come, eat Nurbanu! Brother Lilis has made good porridge for Banu."

"No, Brother Lilis. Banu's mouth tastes bitter!" Nurbanu covered his mouth with both hands while shaking a few times.

"Banu must eat to heal quickly. If it's healed, we go for a walk with Mama Sarah. Banu wants to come, won't you?"

"Walking with Mama Sarah?"

"Yes, Banu."

"Papa too?"

Lilis sighed deeply. "Yes, Papa and Mama Sarah will also come."

LiIis's attempt to persuade the child was successful. Nurbanu looks more excited and finally wants to eat.

"Yeah! Mau, Brother Lilis. You want to eat."

"Now open his mouth, yes! Akh...."

"Aakh...."

Nurbanu obediently-opened his mouth. LiIis was feeding the little by little porridge she had made. Blow it a few times while it still looks smoke coming out from the top of the porridge that has been scooped.

'Get well soon, Nurbanu. Soon, you will find your happiness.' Lilis is covering up her own blue feelings with a tough attitude that is forced to look strong in front of others.
