JI 2 - Fatigue


Because the work is too in the forsir, finally Arini's body becomes drop. And now he has to be hospitalized for exhaustion.


Leon sits in a wheelchair next to Arini's bed. While on the long sofa, there was Hamdani along with Joseph and Jasmine. David had just come out to buy lunch in the hospital cafeteria.


"If I had known it would eventually be like this, I wouldn't have allowed you to work in an office" Leon said, staring straight at Arini.


Arini laughed a little. "You don't worry too much. I'm just exhausted. One day rest will be healed," said Arini relaxed.


"No! One week."


"Three days, huh?" bargain Arini with her pinched look.


"Five days, no bargaining."


Finally inevitably, Arini forced to nod as well. It could be a long matter of his business if he continues to debate Leon.


"Yes, Mama has to take a long break. Let it heal completely," said Jasmine did not want to lose.


"Yes, son," replied Arini with a smile.

After a day in hospital, Arini finally came home. At home, his job is just to eat sleep and play with his children. It's so boring.


He wants to do activities. Like work or something. But whatever the power, Leon doesn't allow it.


And now here comes Arini, library .


He sat facing his laptop while studying business. Joseph was also next to him. The boy was sitting sweetly while coloring a book. As for Jasmine, her little girl was still in school.


And if it's Leon, now he's out with David. They are both doing health control at the hospital.


Yesterday when Arini was treated, actually Leon wanted to control it, because it happened that the hospital where he controlled and Arini was treated was the same hospital. But since yesterday the doctor wasn't there, so only now does he control it.


Tok tok tok tok


Library doors are knocked from the outside.


"Lake in!" arini said from inside the room.


From the outside, Ani appeared with two glasses of dragon fruit juice. "This is the juice, Mom," Ani said as she placed two glasses of juice on the table.


"Thank you, Bude," replied Arini kindly.


"Together, Mom." After the task was completed, Ani then left the library.


"Joseph wants some juice, son?" arini asked while looking at her son.


Joseph nodded slowly. "Anti, Ma."


"Later? Yes already. Its alright. You just continue coloring it," said Arini while rubbing the top of his son's head with love.


He then continued to study again. But occasionally interspersed sipping dragon fruit juice without ice and without added sweeteners. Although it feels a bit bland, but Arini likes it.

They just finished health control. And now I want to go home.


"Yes. Now I can hold a small object with one hand. Yesterday had to be two hands. Hold the spoon should use the right and left hands. Now you can use your right hand." Leon spoke with sparkling eyes because he was happy.


Now they've arrived at the car. Leon was able to get into his own car without having to be carried by David.


After Leon boarded, David kept his employer's wheelchair in the back of the car. After that, he sat down next to Leon. Driving the car home.


"My advice, Ms. Arini was taken for a walk, Mas. Let's not strap. Ah, I mean, let her brain refresh. At home just for you, Mas," said David while looking at Leon.


Leon seemed to think for a moment. Since yesterday he had intended to take Arini for a walk. But where to, huh? He's so confused.


"Where do you think we should go?" leon asked David for his opinion.


"Entertainment park only, Mas. Ride rollercoaster," said David relaxed.


"Rollercoasters?" ask Leon not to believe it.


"Yes." Yeah." David answered seriously.


Leon fries firmly. "When Arini got on that ride, she was puking. The others, it is! Your advice goes extreme." Leon's lying. Arini didn't vomit. The one who vomited was him, because nausea mixed with fear.


David seemed to think for a moment. "How about dinner at a fancy restaurant. Leon's got a lot of money, right?"


"Don't restaurant, it's. Restaurant mah is not refreshing. That's his name's weight."


"If it's a safari park, how? All of you introduced Joseph and Jasmine to animals they may have never seen in person."


David's proposal this time Leon agreed. "This is new. I agree," he said without hesitation.


David smiled with satisfaction because his idea was approved by the employer. Maybe David should be a personal advisor. Not even being a nurse.


They stopped at a red light. There are a lot of kids out there. David remembered himself first. Once, he was like them too.


"What did Mas Leon think of the children?" David pointed at some children who were busking.


"concern. They shouldn't be there. They're supposed to be studying at school, not busking at the red light."


There was one kid knocking on their car glass. David then issued a piece of money of five thousand rupiah and given to the brother.


Just five grand? Ah, David didn't mean to be stingy. But at the moment he does not bring a lot of cash. There were only twenty thousand in his wallet. Because he used to bring e-money if going anywhere. Simpler and more practical.


"Turn back to that kid, Mom." David returned to the car because it was already a green light. "Yes, they shouldn't be here. But the circumstances that made them here. They have no other choice. They actually want to go to school, but don't have any fees for that."


"Isn't school free now?"


"Stay unforeseen dues are always there, Mas. Like classroom cash, dues to pay the honorary teacher. And other contributions. Maybe it's a reasonable expenditure for people who can afford it, but not for children. Just make eating difficult, especially to pay the dues earlier."


Leon seemed to understand. It is not the last time in a rich family. But his family life is quite enough. So he did not understand the situation of the street children earlier. But after listening to David's story a little, he understood it now.


For people who are able, such small contributions are natural. If not from the student, then what would the honorary teacher eat? If there is no class cash, then if the class has an emergency, what money will they use?


For those who are truly incapable. They need a hundred percent free school.
