Light For Stars
Chapter Eighteen

Aunt Laksmi and Uncle Cahyono were still sitting in front of the hospital. Both are confused about how to get home. Even though the night is getting late. There were no more patients there except hospitalized patients.

"Are we on foot, Mom?" laksmi asked her husband to sit in a wheelchair.

"But, aren't you tired, Mi? The distance from the hospital to our home is not far enough?" reply Cahyono.

"But, Mom, if we don't go home, the Light will worry about us."

"Yes, anyway. But, I feel sorry for you, Mi if you have to walk and push me," said Cahyono.

"Well, what else, Mom. Still fortunately, we did not need to pay for medication and check-ups because we met a good doctor. Try if not? It's because I'm not careful. That's why my bag was stolen by people" Laksmi lamented.

Yes, this morning while riding the bus to the hospital, Laksmi lost her bag and all its contents. Luckily he met a doctor who took him to the hospital and financed everything.

"Don't we just call Aya, have her pick her up?" ask Cahyono.

"Aya must still be at the sales pitch, sorry if we ask him to come here."

"Continue?"

"We're on foot, Mom. It's okay if until the house kemalemanan important we do not bother Aya. Since morning he must have been busy managing our sales."

"Yo wes, Mi, up to you. But, if you're tired we rest huh? I don't want you to even follow the pain ntar," replied Cahyono.

"Come on, Mas" replied Laksmi. She started donating her husband's wheelchair.

"Lho, you two haven't come home yet?" ask a doctor who just got out of the hospital. "Has his family not come to pick him up yet?" ask the doctor again.

Laksmi and Cahyono just looked at each other. Both of them had lied to the doctor that they would be picked up by his family when he returned home.

"Oh. That's it, my nephew is still on the street. So, while waiting for him until we want to walk first. You're bored if you have to wait here later," lies Aunt Laksmi.

"Mi, should we ask for help again with the Doctor?" cahyono's question to his wife made the doctor look back at them questioningly.

"As, it's not good if we have to ask for help," replied Laksmi half-whispering.

"But, Mi.... "

"Hust...." Lakshmi told her husband to shut up.

"Don't you guys haven't called your niece yet?" guess the doctor. "Ah, I forgot your bags were stolen just how you guys don't have any money. So, you guys haven't called your niece yet."

This time Aunt Laksmi and Cahyono went silent again.

"How many phone numbers will your nephew let me call!" The doctor was ready with his cell phone.

"Usually at this hour our niece is on sale, she must be very busy. Indeed, if he knew we were stuck like this, he would definitely leave his place of sale and pick us up. But the thing is, our niece is a girl. We're worried that he's picking us up alone with an angkot let alone tonight. So, we decided to just walk, " explained Aunt Laksmi.

The doctor looked at the circular watch on his right wrist. The clock shows ten o'clock in the night.

"Yes already. Let me drive you home. I happen to be free."

"No need, Doc!" reject Laksmi and Cahyono together.

"Why?"

"We've been troubling you since this morning. You've already paid my husband's check-up and medication fees. At present we still have to take the doctor again" replied Aunt Laksmi.

"We sell catfish pecel, fried chicken, and grilled chicken," replied Aunt Laksmi again.

"Well, I happen to want to eat that. So, what if as a payment for the ride I gave this time, you gave the food for free to me. How's it?" The doctor made an offer. He knew that if he kept forcing him to drive home without asking for anything in return, they would definitely refuse his help. So, the doctor deliberately offered this.

"Then it's okay, we agree" replied Aunt Laksmi who finally wanted to receive help from the doctor again.

"I'll take the car, yeah, you guys wait here and you don't go anywhere!" ask the doctor.

"Yes, Doc. Thanks again." The doctor smiled. Hurry up he goes to the parking lot to get his car.

Not long after the doctor returned in his luxury car. The doctor came down to help Cahyono get into his car.

"Where are your addresses?" ask The Doctor.

"Jalan Jasmine number 235A. Thanks again, Doc. And I'm sorry for taking nicotine," replied Aunt Laksmi.

"Yes, you're welcome."

"Oh yes, Doc. If you can find out what the name of the doctor is?" ask Aunt Laksmi.

"Mi, Mi, the big writing period in his doctor's robe you saw?" hiss Cahyono.

"I don't care, Mom. Did you see it?" answer Laksmi.

"Look, if not mistakenly named Doctor Cakrawala Satya Bimantara. Not really, Doc?"

"Yes, right. My name is that. You just call me Cakra" replied the donter named Cakrawala. "I can run the car now, right?"

"Yes, Doc. It is possible," replied Laksmi and Cahyono simultaneously.

The car driven by Cakrawala began to drive away from the hospital.

The journey from the hospital to the house of Aunt Laksmi takes approximately one and a half hours. After traveling for that long, the car finally arrived at a very simple house owned by Laksmi and Cahyono.

"The light is still dead? Have they not gone home yet?" muttered Laksmi when she saw her house was still in the dark.

"Awhile, Doc. I took the key to Mr. Mantri's place first," said Laksmi.

"Yes, please," replied Horizon.

Gegas Laksmi went to Mr. Mantri's house to retrieve the keys to his house. Not long after, he returned with the key in hand.

"Mi, you just take Doctor Cakra to our trading station!" exciting Cahyono.

"But, what are you, Mas?" ask Laksmi.

"We're home, so don't worry. Pity Doctor Cakra he must be hungry" replied Cahyono.

"Yo wes, I'm going to the stall now. I'll bring you rice from there." Cahyono.

"Come, Doc. We're going to my niece's sale yard!" bring Aunt Laksmi.

"E.. alright," replied Cakrawala. He lied about eating chicken. But, to refuse the taste is also not good. Finally he agreed to go to the place of sale of Aunt Laksmi's nephew.
