Letter to Atlanta
45. Kidney failure's

With painstaking care, Bi Mirna repeatedly replaced the handkerchief attached to the forehead of Atlanta, squeezing it with warm water to reduce the heat that at that time attacked the body of Atlanta. The woman clearly panicked when Atlanta came home from work last night soaking wet from the rain while shivering violently.

Slowly, the eyeball opened when Bi Mirna's palms touched her cheeks and neck.

"Are you awake?"

Atlanta nodded weakly, trying to straighten up and down the bed, but Bi Mirna immediately prevented him, bringing Atlanta's limp body back to lie down.

"You want to go to school, Bi."

"But you're sick again. Let Auntie tell you the same teacher, huh? Now that you eat first, that shit takes medicine, rest."

The man was only able to obey everything Bi Mirna said. His head was too dizzy, even his body was limp not playing if he insisted on his desire which was impossible.

"Udah Aunty said don't soy sauce, Ata. Then why was it raining? Why not just shady?" said the woman as she fed Atlanta a bowl of porridge.

"Sorry, Bi. It's got Aunt worried."

Bi Mirna sighed, she understood very well the spirit of Atlanta's hard work. But the child should not be too energy-exciting to ignore his own health.

"Auntie forgive. But next time, you don't push yourself, will you?"

Atlanta nodded again hearing Bi Mirna's words. He turned to stare straight at the wall of the room in front expressionlessly, then made the woman who realized the sad look on Atlanta's face wonder.

"What do you think, Ata?"

He turned his gaze back to Bi Mirna who was staring at him.

"Ata miss Mommy, Bi."

The highlight of those eyes, was the heart-wrenching look of eyes that the woman had once looked at. A look of despair depicted will be laden with pain printed clearly there. Either this was just Bi Mirna's feeling alone, or it was true that the man was hiding a pain that no one else wanted to know.

Bi Mirna understood when Atlanta said that she missed her mother, it meant that she needed someone as a backup, someone who would listen to her inner voice. Sometimes, he himself felt like he had failed to become a pillar of strength for the man. In fact, until this moment, Atlanta prefers to hide and struggle with all the pain alone.

"You've gone, Auntie take you to Mother's grave, huh?"

Back with a nod of his head, a mouthful of porridge he swallowed again. Apparently he still wanted to ask more about the woman who always took care of him.

"Bi, what was the mother of the person like?"

Bi Mirna gave a smile, the woman looked softly at Atlanta then said, "First, Mother Hani was a very good woman. Hardworking, assertive, always cheerful, and not easy to give up. Mother Hani also often help the family Bibi time of distress. Anyway your Mother is a great woman, Ata."

A smile gushed across the pale lips of Atlanta. Just hearing it was enough to warm his heart. If only Mother was still there, maybe she would be very proud to show off her Mother to everyone, that she was lucky to have a Mother like Hani.

I do not know how long the girl who was pensive on the canteen table stirring mixed ice that still looks full in her tall glass. He was alone, no one accompanied him this time. Jay, the man is clearly in an Olympic race out of town.

Atlanta's? He heard Atlanta was sick, which he knew from his homeroom teacher during the first lesson. Huh, it feels like the world is very lonely without Atlanta. He's like numbness. However, guilt dominated his heart at that time. Thinking about his fight with Atlanta yesterday, it was enough to make his mind ache. Is it true that the girl was overdoing it in helping Atlanta?

A sigh came out from her tiny mouth that was curled downwards. He reached into his phone, opening a chat application that displays a row of short messages for Atlanta. There was no change at all, even the man did not seem to activate the internet mode.

"WO!"

Brak!

"EH MONKEY!" Elisha gasped, when a man suddenly came and shouted at him, plus a table shake that managed to make his mixed ice spewing pink liquid out of the glass like it had been hit by a terrible earthquake.

"Buckoo! Where's the monkey, where!" The man cried while wailing, not paying attention to the look of Elisha's upset face.

"FUCKING THEO! Lo why the hell suddenly appeared do not use Assalamualaikum first! My heart just wanted to take off the anjir!"

"Too dislodged ya stay comot aja, what is difficult." The man chuckled before landing his butt in the chair beside Elisha.

Plaque!

The girl slapped hard on Theo's arm until the male owner of the jaw firmly there pretended to grimace. "Where can be a sideburn!" His bluff was getting upset.

"Lagian, you why the hell. I saw from earlier bengong mulu her work. You want to enter, huh?!"

Elisha chose to rotate the eyeballs, in fact he was very lazy to argue, but the man always managed to pull his neck veins to tighten.

"Why? You're lonely because your boyfriend isn't at school?"

"That's it!" Sergeants.

"Oh I know!" Theo looked back at Elisha Lamat. "It's because the mute didn't go to school, right?" Guess what's not wrong.

"It's Atlanta, not the mute!"

"Yeah, why the hell, consider it my affectionate call with him," he said, raising both eyebrows.

The girl's index finger switches to Theo's head, hoping the boy's brain returns to normal.

"Go away, ruin my mood."

"How do I not want to?" The man turned to hold his chin, looking at Elisha with a big smile.

Jesus ... he admitted, Theo really has a sweet smile, and inversely proportional to his demeanor and appearance. But the girl was not at all interested in Theo's friendly aura.

Elisha chose to take a deep breath, throwing it heavy. He smiled forcedly, his hands already clenched and floating in the air.

"Lo know what this is?"

The man nodded, looking at Elisha's fist in front of his eyes as if he were not afraid that his face would suddenly be hit by a death blow from the girl in front of him. Moreover, the wide smile that was still emanating on her handsome face increasingly made Elisha breathless.

Instead of being afraid, Theo thrusting his own cheek like giving a green light that he was ready with Elisha's fist. The girl snorted, in vain she took a swing giving a bogeman.

"Akh!" The next second the girl squeezed out her lower back. Biting the lips restrains the pain that strikes suddenly.

Clearly Theo was in a flash, his face turning panicked. "Elisha?! Lo why?"

"Don't know. My lower back hurts a lot" he replied grimacingly.

Truly, the man did not know what to do. He never handled such a problem. Theo grew increasingly riled up, several times scratching his head thinking of things he might be able to do.

"Start!" He moved, his legs moving quickly after something crossed his mind.

He hoped that what he did would help Elisha a little. Not long after, the man returned with a bottle of mineral water. The sweat that almost dripped on Theo's forehead signified that the man had just exerted a piece of his energy.

"Drink first" he said after opening the sealed bottle cap, and gave it to the girl who was still grimacing.

Elisha immediately reached into the plastic clip containing a white drug, swallowing it with the clear water Theo gave.

"Where? Did you go out?" Theo spoke again when Elisha stopped grimacing and chose to neutralize his breath.

The girl nodded, hinting that she was fine. He himself did not know why lately his lower back always feels pain suddenly. Maybe he thought it was just the effect of fatigue, but in fact, the pain always came even when he was feeling good.

Elisha turned his gaze back towards Theo who was still looking at him worriedly.

"Theo, lo, will you help me? Anter I'm going to the hospital home from school."

For a moment, the man just stared at obsidian Elisha full of question marks, before finally his head moved a slow nod. But it's much better, isn't it? He also did not want Elisha to feel pain that he himself did not know what caused it. And much more fun is, only the man Elisa can count on, not Atlanta or Jay though.

.......

To be honest, it was not his intention or desire to ask Theo for help. But the girl had no other choice, only the man was left beside her, and only Theo had voluntarily always been the figure of Jailangkung in his life lately.

Joni? Of course Elisha did not want to risk being lectured all-out by his sister if only later the results turned out he had a history of disease from his bad habits. Don't ask Yunaka, he can't keep a secret on the man, who there Yunaka will start to tell stories to Mama and her Papa, and end up with the Papa's strict rules.

Here, in front of the table doctor Elisha was still waiting for the results of his examination to come out. Cold sweat started to creep up on his interlocking palms.

"Should have been, your parents came here, son Elisha. It's a serious problem" said the man in a white coat as he sat his butt in the oversized chair of a doctor.

Whether it was just his feelings, he felt that the Doctor in front of him would reveal an unfavorable result. If so, what should the girl do?

"It's really that bad, huh, Doc?"

The man let out a slow breath, confirming the position of his clear glasses. Her hand then turned to unfold the white paper she had just received from a nurse.

"Are you sure you can handle this yourself?"

Elisha nodded steadily, staring with seriousness.

Again with a sigh, the doctor there said, "From the results of the examination, you have pain, stage 4 kidney failure."

His body suddenly squeezed, even though he suddenly lost his verbal ability that second. He hoped that what the doctor said was a mistake. But in fact not, the phrase Doctor managed to make his chest area tight.

"Sorry .. if this news is too shocking for you."

"Then, a—what should s—I do, Doc?" he said stammering, unable to hide the shock.

"Stop the use of unnecessary drugs. Periodic checks are also very important for times like these."

Elisha digested the doctor's words well, while trying to restore the strength of the muscles of his feet were very cold and limp. Does he have to tell his parents about his illness? But he also does not want to add to the burden of mind, especially Vina—sang Mama—which he knows has a history of heart disease.

"I'm going to make a prescription for the medicine you need to take. After that I will schedule when you have to control again. And don't forget, tell your parents about this, yeah."

The girl was only able to nod, her mind still on sightseeing with complicated choices that indirectly filled her increasingly dizzy head.

Shortly with all her business in the Doctor's room, Elisha opened the doorknob, making a man who was sitting biting on his nails anxious to move, straightening his body toward Elisha.

"Where? Lo gapapa, right?"

Elisha looked into Theo's boba eyes expressionlessly. "Gue gapapa. The doctor said only soy sauce, continue to have to drink a lot."

Theo breathed a sigh of relief, a sense of worry that had since wobbled his mind crashing down without rest. Thank goodness the girl was okay.

"A boil, get a love letter from the doctor? Here, let me see."

The man had reached out, but Elisha immediately put the paper he had been holding from the examination into the bag without inviting Theo's suspicion.

"Slack!"

Elisha moved his legs leaving Theo in place. As a result, he went after Elisha who had gone away from the reach of his eyes.

"Gue thought you got high blood because of your grumpy temper."

Nah!

Elisha nailed Theo's head with great difficulty because of the man's extreme height. "And you're causing me high blood, damn it!"

Theo grimaced, holding the top of his head that was painful due to the fate of Elisha. He was only vague with the actions of the girl who always played physically even though it was true that she was the one who provoked the emotions of fierce girls like Elisha.

Elisha did not respond to Theo's rant, he chose silence with his thoughts.

I have to tell you what Mama, Papa, Bang Joni, Bang Yunaka.
