Healing
144. Failed Camping

The POV

Shaka went camping today, he looked so happy and excited when saying goodbye, but it was Yoga who looked unhappy, until Shaka left with a face full of questions, asked, maybe Shaka thinks that his father was forced to give him permission to camp because of my persuasion. In fact, from the beginning Yoga agreed and it did not matter at all if Shaka participated in camping activities from his school.

Because that makes the face of Yoga moody actually because there are problems at work. About land acquisition, there are still obstacles because some people have not agreed with the price that Yoga offers.

The land that is planned to be built in a hotel in the suburbs, a place close to one of the tourism locations, there is no hotel that stands there, there are only a few motels and lodging, there are only a few hotels, it should be very good to build a hotel there, but it turns out there are a few obstacles.

" What if now we go to the location where you plan to build a hotel, Syifa is being invited to her grandmother's house. I get ready for a while" I said as I walked into the room to change clothes and pick up a bag.

Yoga was reluctant to invite me to the location that wanted to be used as a hotel, maybe because all this time I had never interfered for the business of Yoga work. Because all this time Yoga has always been able to solve its own work problems. In contrast to this moment he felt so hard and needed someone to help him.

I couldn't help him, but I tried to reduce the burden on his mind, and hoped Yoga wouldn't continue to be grim.

But Yoga and I did not get out of the house, my phone that I kept in my bag, ringing repeatedly. When I checked it turned out that the one making the call was from Shaka's number. This boy why, when he just said goodbye to going camping, but why have you called me now?. I'd better pick up to find out what Shaka wants to say.

" Hello, good afternoon mom, we're from Medika hospital, is this really Shaka's mother?".

When hearing the caller's words that turned out not to be Shaka, and precisely from one of the hospital employees. My heart was beating so fast. I don't know why a bad feeling immediately filled my head.

" Right I am Raya, Shaka's mother, sorry why isn't Shaka calling?", in a trembling voice of worry and fear that something will happen to Shaka, I'm still trying to be calm, but failed.

I can't hide my worries, though, a sad expression and afraid to imagine what the current state of Shaka makes Yoga who has been waiting for me in the living room choose to approach me who is standing in the middle room with trembling hands holding a cellphone.

" You why Ra?", the last voice that caught my ear, because after that, suddenly everything went dark, and all the sounds just disappeared.

When I realized I was already in the hospital, Medika hospital, the same hospital as where Shaka was treated at this time.

I opened my eyes, and I saw Yoga and Shaka sitting on the sofa beside my bed.

" Mommy is awake?, mom is not papa right?".

Shaka immediately stood next to the bed when he found out that I was awake from my fainting spell.

" Why aren't you?", I looked at Shaka from head to toe. There were indeed some abrasions on Shaka's hands, but it seemed to have been treated.

" Shaka is okay Mom, the mother was too panicked when she got the news that Shaka was here, but Shaka was just a little scuffling. Because of the bad enough friend Shaka Bu. Uh even the mother who fainted all day" said Shaka.

I looked towards the glass window, it was true that it was dark, so how long had I fainted?, even I was hospitalized.

" You've rested, let me call the doctor to check on your mother, you've finished taking your medicine, need rest, go home, accompany your sister, she must be confused because the house is quiet. Grandma will also be staying at our house tonight" Yoga told Shaka.

" Wait a minute, I want to know exactly what happened?, hasn't it been a long time since you left, and then there's a call from this hospital if you have an accident?", I'm very curious about what really happened.

Shaka told me about what happened this morning.

" The car belonging to the teacher does not fit on board all camping participants, so I bonceng friends who carry motorcycles. Eh it turns out that the motorbike is not strong to ride two people on the road. That's why the bike died suddenly, making me and my friend the hassle of holding the bike, and the motor runs backwards. I jumped off the bike, so it just scratched a little. But my friend got on the bike, and rolled down, so the wound was pretty bad. He was treated here too, his two fingers cracked" Shaka explained.

Hearing Shaka's explanation I could breathe a sigh of relief, at least Shaka was just a slight scuff, not as severe as his friend.

The door knocked from the outside, Yoga opened the door of the room where I was being treated.

" I'm sorry to interrupt Auntie's break, can we come in?", a beautiful girl and her two friends were standing at the door.

I nodded to give Yoga a code to let them in.

Before Shaka's friends came in, Shaka whispered to me, "Mommy, that girl whose name is Adel, Shaka's classmate Shaka told me about yesterday".

I looked at the girl who came in with her two friends. It is beautiful and looks polite.

" Good night, Om and aunt. I'm Adel, and this is Galih and Sinta, we're Shaka's friends, it's out of Anas' room, just keep Anas telling you that Auntie's here..."

Adel continued to talk introducing himself, he also brought the cake as a hand. For a child of Shaka's age, their attitude is considered polite.

So this child who makes Shaka kekeh want to participate in camping activities, but the plan for camping so failed, because Shaka and Anas had an accident when they wanted to go to the campground.

The event should still run as usual if the accident is just a new member like Shaka, but Anas, the friend who brought the bike was the head of nature lovers, he who became the driver of all activities, and he was the driver of all activities, without it, the show would be a mess.

Because from the story of Adel, actually Anas asked his friends to continue camping activities, but all participants took the decision to rewind the camping schedule.

That's why they're here tonight, accompanying Anas who's lying in the ward. Anas is an orphan, and his mother works in Saudi Arabia. Concerned about Anas' situation, his friends take turns to accompany Anas in the hospital. It's good that their souls are together, but what I love, Adel and Sinta are women, should their parents forbid them to stay overnight to look after a male friend.

Or maybe their parents do not know if they are here?, are not parents who have a brilliant career will usually be busy taking care of their work, and pay less attention to their children.

But they stayed in the open with many male friends even their parents did not mind. It is possible that their parents are the type of people today, who do not worry about the association of their children, the important thing is that they can maintain the honor of themselves and their families.

" It's nice to meet Shaka's friends, but if I may ask Auntie, do your parents know you're here, the nights start" I asked.

" Of course you know, we told you what happened, and our parents gave us permission to accompany Anas tonight. Maybe tomorrow it's the turn of the other friends who are in charge of guarding Anas, we take turns Auntie" said Galih

" If I may ask, what kind of care does Aunt take?, Shaka is my age, but Aunt is still like ABG, as well as Om, like not her father and mother, but like her brother Shaka", tell Galih honestly.

" The thing is my father and mother at home look old, but maybe sepasaran with you guys".

I was silent because I imagined that Galih's old man, likened to me and Yoga who was young, not too old.

" There was no treatment, my mother rarely went to the salon, rarely used makeup as well, just natural treatments using cucumber, tomato, or jicama masks", Shaka answered.

" Have you guys been to Anas' room, my mom wants a break, don't be disturbed" Shaka said, throwing his friends out of my room.

I'm glad Shaka's friends are so caring, even to the point of seeing me all. I've never met them before.

" Oh yes, sorry to interrupt Aunt's break, we excuse you first, please continue the rest Nte", said Adel and his friends.

I nod my head to let them out, and returned to Anas' room to accompany him.
