DAMNED GIRL
20. PREPARE FOR EXAMS

Tomorrow is the most important day for students including for me because the school will carry out the graduation exam. Long before the school exam, all students have been urged by each homeroom teacher to compete to study diligently for one word

"Graduate"

Not spared also with me, this time I was very active in studying to be able to get a scholarship at the First High School of my dreams.

Because, a few days before there was a team of Junior High School who campaigned to offer new students registration and inform the registration of scholarship pathways for students who achieved the highest grades in school. That's where I really hope to be a student at that school with the hope of free school scholarship lines, because besides that also the distance was only one kilo meter from home, I felt it wasn't far to go on foot.

After feeding Grandma lunch and replacing her wet clothes with her urine, I prepared myself to re-learn all the materials my homeroom teacher, Ms. Yuni, had given me.

Even without anyone's guidance, I stayed focused on basic math maths in the living room.

But after walking for a while studying alone, apparently I was more confused because I was not sure of my own answer.

Suddenly I intend to study with Mira. But the problem is I can't leave Grandma alone

But, what's wrong with me asking Grandma for permission first. Who knows, they are allowed to go there

"Miss, can I go to Mira's house ?" much

Grandma looked at me

"What are you going there for, instead of you having to learn. You said you wanted a graduation exam tomorrow" he said

"I went to Mira's house to study together, because if I study alone I'm not sure of my own answer" I replied

"Yes, but not for long" said Grandma

I nodded "Yes"

"Don't forget, the door is locked from the outside. So that it seems as if there is no one in this house anymore" said Grandma.

Because that's what as long as Grandma is sick I always do every time I go outside the house, the door is always me the key from the outside. Although there is no feeling for Grandma but want how else, because that's what Grandma wants

Arriving in front of Bu Nina's shop, I called Mira. Because it just so happened that Bu Nina wasn't in the stall

With a swinging tone I just call him

"Mira...Miras...Mirah..!" call me

But apparently Miss Nina who came out to see me, she seemed to know the purpose of my arrival when I saw me carrying a school bag

"You want to study with Mira ?" tannya

I sumringah with her exact guess "Yes"

"Corn, in. Mira was in her room. It just so happens that you come, in fact he did not learn. Even busy playing house" said Nina Bu

"Yes, Mom"

After removing my sandals, I met Mira who again built a house with her blankets

"Mira ?" call me

Mira looked at me

"Dhira, you want to play house-housing too ?" tannya

I shake my head

"No, I want to learn from you" I replied

Mira scratched her head "But I'm also not confused if it's just the two of us who learn, because there must be a guide" he said

Sertamerta Bu Nina appeared between us

"Let's be a guiding mom, so Mira don't make excuses anymore. Dhira has come to study with you" he said

Mira blushed shyly "Hehehe"

Without any more long talk, Ms. Nina immediately invited us into the living room. He spread the mat on the floor and sat cross-legged to guide us to study

"Look, my kids now we're starting to learn" he asked

Hearing that, Mira and I happily sat face to face with Ms. Nina.

We studied together for quite a while but there was no sense of boredom at all because Ms. Nina guided us with clear and detailed sentences.

And finally some math practice that I was confused about before, now it feels easy to finish when Miss Nina gives me practice problems.

Finally because the study together was over, I ended the meeting with the chance to go home

"Mom, Mira. I go home first huh" said my saying while holding my backpack and getting up, as well as Miss Nina and Mira standing up too

Before I came out of the door of Mira's house, suddenly at the same time Nina's mother asked again the whereabouts of Grandma

"Have your grandmother come home ?" tannya

I kept quiet to hear it, wanted to tell a lie but somehow my mouth was locked

I just shook my head without answering a word

"Once he came home, it would be almost a month yes" said Ms Nina

I just nodded again

"Aren't you afraid of being alone, like at night ?"

I shake my head

"Oh, you're so brave. I hope Grandma will come home soon" he said

I just nodded then hurriedly left without making a sound again. Without another goodbye.

When I got home I went straight to Grandma

"Granny" my broom and sat next to her spoiled

Grandma smiled at me "Have you come home ?"

"Yes" I nodded

"Where did you learn ?" tannya

"Seru, Grandma. Madam Nina guided me and Mira. Ms. Nina also gave me an example of the matter, practice the matter until I understand"

"Good, so you should be able to do the exam tomorrow "

"Yes, I can't wait to take the exam. Tomorrow" I said

"Hehe. Must be patient dong" said Grandma

"Hehey"

"Would I get you a drink, Grandma ?" much

"Later on, Grandma wasn't thirsty" he said

"Why do you want to watch television ?" much

"Hehe. I want to, but I can't" he said

"Yes anyway. Or Grandma's gonna eat again. Because Grandma ate very little" I said

Grandma nodded "Can" he said

"I'll prepare for a moment" I said as I hurried away

But not yet out of the room, Grandma stopped my steps

"No need, suddenly Grandma lost her appetite" he said

"Then I just pinched her feet" I said

"Yes, I can" he said

Immediately I flicked my Grandma's feet that were getting swollen and blue. Although her legs are swollen but actually Grandma's body is shrinking. He was getting thinner to the point that his eyelids were indented and his cheekbones were so clearly protruding

Even so Grandma always said no why and no pain so no need to be treated. He always said he would be healed.

From there I could not do much more, besides just being able to feed her, change her clothes every day what else when Grandma pees, defecates, defecates, I also had to clean his entire body of sweat and dust, and could only compress his feet with warm water.

That's all I can do for him

While the real Mother already knew Grandma's state, she preferred to be silent.

In a matter of a few days, I'll be here. Hopefully when you see the situation of Grandma getting worse. Mother's heart can be tempted to force Grandma to go for treatment.
