Help Me, Doctor...
Earth 23 – Calvin Adam's Adaptation

His eyes opened and stared at the ceiling which felt very stifling, feeling that his face could almost touch the roof above him.

Asklepios poking eyes and raising his hand trying to touch the roof on it was still higher than his net vision. His palm was again placed next to the body that was still stretched. Slowly he felt the bedding that his cloth felt rough, was definitely not the high-quality linen silk he had felt when in Chronos 299.

Being thrown from Chronos 299 to Earth 23 does not make Asklepios forget who and where she came from.

“You will keep remembering who you really are and where you came from so that you still have the bond to return to Chronos 299 immediately,” said Zeus before finally expelling Asklepios from Chronos 299 and now turned into Calvin Adam.

The surroundings feel dark and stuffy, very different from Chronos 299 which is very fresh and sparkling. Asklepios tried to sit up and was shocked when a creaking sound came from where she was.

Krriieeeekkkkk

His ears were sore at hearing a very foreign voice and did not have a tone. In Chronos the sound of footsteps was felt to have a beautiful tone and did not interfere with hearing.

After gazing at the source of the voice, Asklepios saw that the place she had originally been lying was a mattress with an old wooden cot. A place where he is far from worthy of someone who is quite exalted in Chronos 299.

Asklepios snorted dejectedly, ”Pa, why don't you put me in the animal's kendang alone rather than this very rickety place?”

Said Asklepios complaining that was answered by Apollo, “I thought you should start from scratch on Earth 23 as a vagrant but my father is good enough for you so now enjoy his kindness.”

There was no sound from Asklepios to comment the sound of her room being knocked slowly.

Knock…

“Calvin Adam... have you woken up Nak?”

Asklepios muttered inwardly, “Calvin Adam? Who is Calvin Adam? I'm Calvin Adam?”

The door is knocked back and the sound of BRAAAK is heard. Calvin Adam banged on a door he did not know in Chronos 299.

The door opened looking old lady who immediately checked what happened to her, “What's wrong with your forehead? You hit the door? Your alcohol effect is still not gone?”

The flocking of questions makes Calvin Adam feel his head more ache than to bump and think that the curtain on Earth 23 is as hard and impenetrable as Chronos 299, he said, he also tried to catch the question of the old woman in front of him and thought what to answer.

The woman took Calvin Adam out of the room slowly because he thought his son hit the door because he was still dizzy due to excessive alcohol consumption the night before.

“Sit here Calvin, Mom will prepare a soup to refresh your body,” said the old woman who turned out to be Mom from Calvin Adam.

The woman he saw was his Mommy on Earth 23, too old and old compared to the woman he had met in Chronos 299, there is a very distinctive aroma of spices on his body and again he has never got in Chronos 299.

The woman went to the dining table and served a bowl of soup that was still warm and savory.

“Are you not going to get tired of always ending up drunk every night, son? I'm old and not sure I'm still strong enough to work for your four-year medical school. Didn't your classmate have mostly started doing internships (internships), when is your turn?”

“Mom...” Calvin said awkwardly and answered with a warm gaze from the woman before him and raised eyebrows inquiring without a word. Three letters are strung together into a short word but only this time Calvin said it because in Chronos 299 he only had time to know his mother before he could even know her face.

Coronis, the mother of Asklepios died because of her mistake, who dared to cheat on Apollo. Coronis died and his body was burned but Asklepios was saved by Apollos.

“There's something you want to say, son? Why stop?” Mommy Delia, Calvin Adam's mommy, asked confusedly to see her unusual child.

With Calvin Adam back to speech, “Mom..”.

“Hm.. how? Can you promise to stop getting drunk every night and finish medical school? I'm tired and want to see you stop playing games and can boast of me by helping so many people.”

Calvin Adam placed the soup spoon beside him, reflexively touching the woman's fingers in front of him, feeling the warmth and rough palms that often felt my struggle with difficulties on Earth 23.

“Mom... have you always been like this?”calvin grimly looked at the woman in front of him recording and tried to imagine if Coronis was still alive whether she would also be a talkative mother like her current mommy.

Not the answer to the words obtained, Mom Delia actually hit the hand of Calvin who grasped it,

“Basic brat...What does your question mean? Everyone here knows that I'm Delia not talking much but it turns out that in front of you I always have a lot to ask and advise. Are you tired of having a mom like me?”

“Delia.. Mom Delia,”Remember Calvin Adam in heart,

Calvin Adam shook his head and caught Mom Delia's hand hitting him be the moment their hands clasped into one.

“I'm hearing your voice Mom and I don't even know you enough to be tired of having you. Please be patient for me Mom, it looks like I'm going to have a problem with my memory of the impact this morning is too hard,” is all that Calvin Adam can express because all the complaints and words from Mom Delia he did not understand at all.

Delia who heard Calvin's long, well-mannered sentence became very confused as if the one before her was not the child she had been caring for.

“If the impact on your head can make you calmer like this, I should have banged your head long ago Nak.”

Calvin Adam who started drinking tomato juice in front of him choked and coughed, Mom Delia patted him on the back to reduce his cough.

“Take a drink and eat, I will not make you rush to go to college because it's your day and the lecture schedule. Oscar came this morning telling me.”

One more name is spoken and certainly Calvin does not know who is Oscar but what makes him more curious is actually what Calvin Adam is like on Earth 23 until his mother looks tired and troubled.

“Mom, how am I in your eyes?” not immediately answered, Mom Delia actually put the back of her hand to touch the forehead and the handsome face of her son worried Calvin Adam had a fever or not feeling well.

“You don't look sick, but why are you so weird this morning, son? Hm. It may be time for you to change, the answer to my every prayer for the good of my son,”tulus said and Mom Delia answered Calvin Adam's question,

“You are to me the encouragement of my life despite the many problems you caused but you are just like your late Daddy. It was my fault I fell in love with Winson, your late Daddy who already had a naughty boy pamor as a result I have a child who is no less naughty but what I believe is you have a much better intelligence so I want you to be able to be serious and mature immediately with your future Nak.”

Calvin Adam listened to these words carefully. The views around her, the humble home, the warm old woman doting on her, the good food she seemed to be able to survive on Earth 23 until her return to Chronos 299.
