Kampung Perjulidan Neighbor
Chapter 68

Rani wakes up and finds Erna in a different room. His sense of smell felt the typical smell of the hospital. His hands are also being flushed. The woman looked at Erna who was sitting in front of her while daydreaming. Why is Erna there?

"Erna?'' call him to disperse the reverie of Erna.

"Eh, are you conscious?" erna asked a little surprised.

"Well, did I faint? Lah, how can it be?'' inner Rani.

When Erna was about to call the doctor, Rani immediately held her hand. Rani shakes her head hoping she understands that Rani did not tell her to call the doctor.

The feeling of the woman immediately missed the figure of her mother who was gone. He cried as he pleased, remembering his dream, he met his mother. In his dream, his mother looks moody and does not smile at him. His mother even left him. Although Rani ran and screamed but her mother did not listen to her.

"What's wrong with you, Ran?'' asked Erna gently.

"I miss my mother, Ern." she replied in a hoarse voice.

"Please you just called your mother,"

Ah, apparently his dream was carried away to the real world.

Erna took off her hand and went to call the doctor. And before long the man in white had already appeared in front of Rani. The doctor immediately examined his eyes and chest using his stethoscope.

"You're food poisoning, Mba. You should first check the expired date of the food so as not to cause poisoning like this. It can be very harmful to the fetus in your stomach" said the doctor.

Rani just kept quiet and did not say the doctor's words. His feelings right now are really erratic.

"Good, Doc. Thank you." answered Erna.

After the doctor left, Erna seemed to notice Rani.

"Are you better?'' tanyakanya.

Rani simply answered him with a nod. Soon Idah came to them.

"Where, Mom? Mr Santo has returned?''

"Udah, Son. I was waiting for us but Mom wasn't good. So I told you to go home" replied Idah.

Rani is ashamed of herself for the kindness Erna and her mother have been to her. He always has trouble with them.

That is the true meaning of the neighbor, being the first helper other than the family.

Due to the effects of the drug, Rani became sleepy and eventually she fell asleep. Before really sound, Rani is like hearing a male voice and like the voice of her brother Rafi. But his eyes refused to open because it was already very heavy. Hopefully when he wakes up, he can see his brother there. Rani really misses him.

*********

Slowly, Rani opened her eyes and circulated her gaze throughout the room. Rani is still lying in her place but Idah and Erna are no longer there.

Who's been waiting for him all night? Was he left alone? Women's tears suddenly dripped just like that. Ah, it feels like she really misses her mother and sister Rafi.

"Hey, why are you crying?''

Her brother's voice made the woman startled and immediately turned to the direction of the voice. Right, his brother is there.

"Sister?'' he said with twinkling eyes.

"Where? Do you feel good?'' ask Rafi.

"Don't cry, Rani. Think about your condition and the child in your womb right now. Try to be healthy quickly said Rafi.

"Emang if I'm healthy, brother want to go again?'' ask Rani scared.

"Yes, Rani. I have to get back to work" he said.

Rani who heard that just cried. No, this time the woman won't let him go of her life again.

"You big brother go, I'd rather just die!''

Rafi glared sharply at him, her face showing dislike from the sentence that her sister had uttered.

"I would not have left you if you had said to my sister, Rani. What's the point of me living with a stone coconut sister like you? Do you feel like you can live without me? You never according to my words? Why are you now begging for big brother not to go?!''

Her brother's words made her silent. Everything he said was true. He is too dissident here and always goes against what his brother says.

"I'm sorry, brother." he said regretfully.

"You were sorry, too, Ran. Butwhat? You remain wayward, you are an adult Ran, you should think. Ah, done. Eat this so your body has energy."

Rafi gave him a packet of chicken porridge that was still warm. He then closed the divider between the patient's bed with another so that his sister was comfortable eating.

Slowly, the chicken porridge Rani ate. Rafi waited until she finished eating.

"Sister? Where is Erna with her mother?'' tanyakanya.

"Udah home. Pity them" replied Rafi.

"I haven't been able to say thank you" he said slowly.

"Hm, don't you often look for trouble with Erna? This soul have you realized about your ugly nature? Don't make any more noise with the neighbors" Rafi told him.

"Yes, sister." she answered in embarrassment.

Before long, the doctor came and checked Rani's condition.

"Rani's condition has improved. Maybe noon will be allowed to go home. Remember to keep your eating and resting patterns. Check the food before eating" the doctor said.

"good. Thank you, Doc." replied Rani.

After the departure of the Doctor, Rafi told her sister to rest, while she wanted to go out to buy coffee.

His eyes reluctantly closed, his mind drifted towards the baby's father in the womb. The man who dumped him and the child he contained.

Rani stroked her still not-so-visible stomach affectionately. Soon she will be a mother who will raise her child alone.

Rani remembers the man the last time she picked him up at home. He was so well treated by even his wife. Rani thought she would be accepted as the mistress of her husband. Turns out he was wrong, they just framed him for their benefit. After that, he was just abandoned by them.

Remembering that man made her cry. Either later, she will be able or not to take on her role as a mother. The woman was too young, but she destroyed her youth by her own actions.

Does the woman have to find a job? It can't be anything. Just take care of the house he is not smart, what would work if this?

His head was very dizzy thinking about his fate which was somehow shaped like that.
