Mr. Teacher, Love You

Mr. Teacher, Love You
Brother Tirta


I slowly opened my eyes, this time I could do it like never before. I looked in all directions, and I knew this was a hospital room. I circulated my gaze again, this time at someone sitting while asleep hugging my hand.


"Type!" I'm looking slowly.


Without even realizing that my tears were dripping, I now realized what had really happened to me. Last night in my unconsciousness, I heard it all.


Last night I heard the voices of two people talking while I was still closing my eyes. One I believe is Tirta's voice, but the other I don't know whose voice. I wanted to open my eyes, but it felt so heavy. I tried to move my body, but it couldn't feel like I was being hit by such a heavy burden.


I could only hear them talking without being able to open my eyes or move my hands and other limbs.


I heard what I wanted to find out all along, I heard about how mom could part with my dad. I heard how I met Tirta and Aunt Rita. The past is lost to my memory. I heard all that, I was even very surprised and it felt like I couldn't even cry.


At that time I felt very sorry because I had been not kind to Rita's mother and Tirta.


I tried to take my hand off Tirta's embrace and tried to touch Tirta's hand.


"Sister!" call me slowly to him.


I think my tears are already flooding my face. I started sobbing, and I realized I was crying. Tirta finally woke up.


He opened his eyes and looked at me, but he quickly stood up and rubbed my face.


"Rasti, what's wrong? why crying? is anyone sick? where's the sick one?" he asked me a lot and I knew he was panicking when he saw me crying.


I shake my head slowly. Because honestly I don't know why my body hurts all the time.


"Nobody hurts..hiks...!" answer me slowly.


"Why are you crying? you had a nightmare? Rasti lu why? I'm calling the doctor, right?" ask her and prepare to immediately step away to call the doctor.


But my hand, which was still holding her hand, pulled her a little so she wouldn't leave.


"Sister.. hiks... can I not hiks... hiks.... hug you?" I asked nervously, I was so afraid to say that sentence, but I wanted to say it.


Tirta was stunned instead, she did not even blink for a moment. But then she quickly approached me and hugged me tightly.


I could hear his breath being so irregular, and I could hear him also occasionally sobbing.


"Rasti, what did you call me?" her question still hugged me tightly.


"Sister, Brother Tirta!" say me steadily.


Tirta really sobbed after I said that word, she even seemed unwilling to release me from her embrace. For a long time, we poured out our feelings for each other as brother and sister.


"Good morning!" a voice made Tirta release her embrace from me.


"Good morning doctor!" tirta replied, turning her back to the doctor, to wipe away her tears.


She also grabbed a tissue on the table and wiped my tears.


"Rasti, how are you feeling now?" asked the handsome doctor with the box-laced glasses while smiling.


"I've improved the doctor, thank you!" answer me.


"Very visible, I'm glad to see a brother and sister who are so close like you guys. My dear I'm an only child!" he said with a smile and clasped my hand.


Surprised, I pulled my hand quickly.


"Sorry, did I surprise you? I just wanted to check on you!" inexplicably.


"He'll just check on you!" say it slowly.


"Sorry doctor, I was surprised..!"


"It's okay, now can I touch your hand?" ask the doctor very politely.


I put my hand back near the doctor's. He then checked my pulse as well as my heartbeat. He even asked for permission again when he was going to put the stethoscope he had held onto my chest.


"It's great, wait until the medical report comes out, and you can go home too. You're going to take the exam this Monday, right?" ask the doctor.


I think this doctor is very friendly and polite. Tirta looked happy to hear that, she directly rubbed my hair gently.


"Right doctor Andika said, you were Monday's exam. Don't think of anything else, focus on your recovery!" exclaim Tirta.


I knew Tirta was trying to tell me that I should focus on my exam and not on Yoga sir or his mother who came in a rage and insulted me like yesterday.


I nodded slowly.


"Yes sis!" answer me slowly.


Tok tok tok tok


The sound of someone knocking on the door, made the three of us look in the same direction. A nurse brought a large milk-white plastic bag and approached Andika.


"This doctor's chicken porridge and also his milkshake!" said the nurse while giving the package to the doctor Andika.


"Thank you sister!" said Andika doctor and then received the package.


"Together doctor, excuse me!" said the nurse who went out after the doctor Andika nodded her head once.


"Tirta, Rasti let's have breakfast together!" he shouted while approaching us.


Tirta and I glanced at each other. I didn't know if this doctor was so close to Tirta, if the one who talked to Tirta last night was Andika's doctor.


Not yet heard my approval and Tirta, Andika doctor immediately turned the panel that set the position of my bed, she positioned my patient bed with half sitting.


"Is this enough?" ask doctor Andika.


I then try to, sit down. Although there is still a little pain in my bones but I can do it.


"Huh, good answer. Then I'll put it back in its original position!" the doctor said smiling.


He then turned the panel and the bed of my patient back to its original position. He opened the package and gave a bowl to Tirta.


"This tyre is for you!" his words to Tirta and Tirta also received the chicken porridge bowl.


"Thank you!" tirta.


"And this one...!" he said while opening the lid of the chicken porridge bowl that I saw was still emitting smoke. I think the chicken porridge is still hot.


"I'll feed Rasti!" his words suddenly made me and Tirta look at each other again.
