"It's 10 in the morning" said Ms Isma, after seeing the circular watch on her wrist. "I left first, Kania, and Mas Reza. My plane will take off at 11:15."
"Alright, then be careful. May your journey be smooth."
"Thank you, Mum. Get well soon and go home again."
He said goodbye to Anta.
"Dearn your creative stamina, remain a humble person. Coming back from Borneo later you can see our children. Don't forget to call and call Mom and Abah. Take care of your health." Said Sister Anta who made me flutter, when she said about our children.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the front." I said nervously.
"You guys are so nice, but I have to leave you. May your kindness not diminish even if I stay for a few years. I'll try to make you come home later."
At first he wanted to shake hands with Sister Anta his former lover, but then he paused, maybe weighing my feelings.
"Goodbye, Mom," he said.
Finally, after saying goodbye, I drove him out of the room, and we again broke through the hospital visitors along the hospital corridor. She, Sister Isma, did not take off the slightest grip of her hand over mine. We walked together hand in hand, like a pair of best friends, like a brother and sister.
When we arrived in front of the hospital, then Sister Isma took off her hand, she smiled at me and repeated her apology.
"Kania, once again, I say thank you very much. Honestly, I'm ashamed of your incredible kindness I didn't expect. You're so nice, that's why you deserve to go side by side and match Mas Reza."
After that he came closer and gently touched the surface of my stomach.
"If I came back here later, this kid would have grown up. I can't wait," he said.
"Sir Isma should see it later."
He held both ends of his lips together, smiling.
We chatted in a warm-toenail atmosphere, because it was attacked by a clumsy and stiff taste, also a sense of haru. Luckily, shortly afterwards Isma told him that the plane he was going to be boarding was going to take off soon, so he immediately put an end to these hiccups.
"Must," He hugged me, "Alright, I'm going, take good care of yourself and your family. See you, Kania."
Then he disappeared behind the car door where both his parents had been waiting and immediately flew high carrying his dreams and ideals.
I took a strong breath after the departure of the Mother Isma, then said alone in a soft tone. "Thank you, Sister Isma, for all the life lessons and kindness I've received since knowing you. Thanks to you, I became a more resilient wife and I now understand that true love will always be tested to be strong.
I went back inside, Kak Anta's nursery.
"Have you returned?"
"Yes, brother. What's wrong?"
"I'm going to the bathroom" replied Kak Anta briefly.
My body trembled, hearing his wish. His tone sounded deeper than usual, making my legs barely able to stand up straight.
"Why go to the bathroom? Anta has not fully recovered. If you can't move a lot just yet!"
"I can't stand it, pee on the bed. Even though you have used a urine bag. I'm not used to it, so it's a little uncomfortable." He said, then took something under his bed, "Look! I've already taken off." He lifted his urine bag on me.
My heart is beating so fast. Still clutching tightly to the doorknob, I said, "I-I have to call the doctor first to make sure if you can move from the bed or not."
"No, I can't stand it. If you call the doctor first, you can take time." Answer Sister Anta.
"All right, if that's the case. Let me help you, brother,"
I immediately turned around to pick up the infusion, then I helped him get out of bed. First, I told him to sit on the side. Then I put his hand on my neck and I held his waist so as not to waver. While according to the instructions from me Kak Anta got down from the bed slowly.
It was at that moment that I felt the body of Kak Anta who was hot and heavy. Moreover, I have to hold the weight of his body with one hand, while the other hand is special to hold the infusion pole.
The thumping feeling grew louder when we entered the bathroom, for the first time and shamelessly Sister Anta urinated even though I was beside her. And I'm trying to understand.
"It's Kania" he said.
"Oh, good brother. Come on out, slow down." I try to be calm and not nervous.
I help each step although slow and heavy, fortunately the distance from the bathroom to the bed is not as far as the distance when we separated. So I am still strong to guide him.
Once we have reached the bed, Sister Anta has climbed again in the bed, amazingly she does not feel awkward or nervous in the slightest. Unlike me who was busy fighting against the turmoil in the chest that was pounding endless, still imprinted in my memory while in the bathroom earlier, his shadows were in detail and continued to haunt my mind. Oh, shame on me.
"Good morning, Mr. Anta Reza." One of the doctors suddenly entered with a nurse and a pushtable filled with medicine.
"Morning, doctor." Greet us both brother Anta berbarang.
"How is he doing now?" He said while checking Kak Anta's infusion.
I became anxious, if the doctor found out about the urine bag released by Kak Anta. Understandably, this is the first time I've accompanied someone alone in the hospital. Never before, so I'm a little anxious to take action on my own outside the doctor's advice.
"I checked the stitches first, yeah."
"Good, the stitches are dry. If the condition of the master is getting better like this, I am optimistic that you can let the master go home tomorrow morning." Sahut doctor again after re-placing Kak Anta's bandage.
"Thank God, honestly I've missed Home, Dr. Andrean. I want to hang out with my wife, enjoy the atmosphere of the morning, afternoon and evening next to the veranda. If it's here, I'm a little shady." Replied Brother Anta, who made me tremble even more.
The doctor I just found out his name was Andrean, smiling knots as he prepared the medicine again from the pushtable the nurse was carrying.
"I am very happy to see this master's spirit. Then after this examination, we will allow you to go home tomorrow, along with antibiotic medicine and others. For the first twenty-four hours, you should rest your body from physical activity. After that you can come here in a week to check further."
And so Anta and I looked at each other as soon as we heard the good news, we felt more than happy to hear this happy news. Doctor Andrean who was friendly saying goodbye after giving drugs that must be taken as well as nurses give food for lunch.
"Thank you for the care you gave my husband, doctor. But sorry, when at home later is it okay if he urinated directly, and others to the bathroom?"
Doctor Andrean smiled, "Oh, of course it doesn't matter, as long as someone can help him, it will be fine. The point is don't let him go alone."
After the doctors and nurses left, I helped feed Anta Lunch. There's no medicine left either.
I took an apple out of the fruit basket that Ms. Isma gave me this morning. After Kak Anta finished eating and is now reading a magazine provided by the hospital for family reading.
"How does it feel?" Kak Anta said.
"Sweet and fresh." I said as I chewed, "Will I?"
"No, I'm full."
At about 13:00 pm, we were enjoying the bright afternoon. Rambo comes with a lot of noise, indeed describing its supple and soulful characteristics. He came without knocking on the door, while carrying an onde-onde of green beans.
"Anta Reza, my friend .... " He cried while running to hug Brother Anta who was sitting on the bed.
"You're so happy for me to worry so much. I almost went crazy when I heard you had an accident! I thought you were going to die, I really don't forgive. You mustn't face God before you see me married." Said whining.
Then, Brother Anta who I know that he was filled with Rambo's attitude. However, having to pretend to be a man to keep his prestige by jerking Rambo's body and hitting Rambo's burly shoulder with his magazine.
"Basic stupid! be the man of gondrong! You're not ashamed to cry so in front of women?"
But Rambo refused to change, he still sobbed. A 28-year-old man full of feelings, inversely proportional to his fierce appearance.
"I don't care, the point is I'm so moved to hear the news that you've regained consciousness." He said, "How are you?"
"It's better, the doctor even said that I can go home tomorrow morning."
"I swear, it wasn't in vain that I spent my afternoon resting by coming here. Want to eat onde-onde with me?" He said while lifting the white crackle.
Sister Anta frowned to respond to Rambo's offer, "Bringing souvenirs for the sick but instead eating, the concept how?"
"I didn't bring this for you. It's my lunch!" He said it was so innocent, whether it was real or just to tease Kak Anta.
Stupid I laughed, so funny ....

Hello this author 🙋
How are you, brother? Today the author plans to do a crazy up, maybe 4-5 CHAPTERS. Hehe...
It does not feel like our journey has arrived almost in CHAPTER 50. Well, it's been quite a long trip. But this time the author wants to help straighten out and explain a little. There may be many of you who are confused in reading this novel.
"Thor, which way of bedain is what kind of conversation?"
Well, here the author a little explain Yup the author's favorite;
1. First, in the novel writing there are 3 points of view that can be used. In the novel toon most often used is the first point of view and the third point of view. The first uses "I" and the third uses the name of the character (ex: Bayu, Dody, Joko etc.).
What about this novel Thor?
The author uses the first point of view, yes, use the word "I" to explain. And the POV used was from the female protagonist; the Gift. So the point for that explanatory sentence other than the one that uses italics, it's not a heart word okay? but only the story of Kania.
2. Second, to distinguish where the conversation and heart, can be seen in the use of quotation marks. For the conversation, use quotation marks.example: "Kania, can you help me take a frying pan?" Said Sister Anta.
As for the heart word, it will be author made with italics. Example: I'll take plan B, I thought.
3. Third, specifically about figurative words. Here the author apologizes, the use of allusions is indeed the author place as a characteristic only. Hopefully in front of the author, for example, you read novels without seeing the author's name can already know, "Oh, this is author Sanskeh!" of course, a pleasure for a writer if it can be identified with the characteristics that are inherent in the reader. (I'm sorry if most ⁇ _ ⁇ )
From this explanation, there is no other purpose than to help the author's beloved, so no one thinks it is excessive, okay? Hopefully the brothers can take good yes, and after this explanation, can help the author's favorite readers in reading the Works, either from the author himself or from other writers' friends.
Humble and loving, author Sanskeh wishes you a happy Wednesday. May our day be full of joy and happiness.
Have a good day n happy reading besst ⁇ (*)♡
See you in the next chapter, Ta Taa....
