First day of school…
The morning air is still fresh, there are still drops of dew on the green leaves, the sound of birds singing cheerfully welcoming the warm sunshine that rises in the eastern horizon.
The guardian of grade 12 of Biology 5 is Bu Rita who just gave the preface and introductions to some of the teachers who just joined the foundation, which is a new teacher, overview of class 12 and additional beads to be held 3 months before the UN. This school year, Ryan separated classes with her. The boy is now in 12th grade Biology 3, while Alisha and Affandra are in another class.
“Teng...Teng..Teng.
The end-of-school bell rings when the time is right to show at 10 am. Maya starts turning on her phone, grabs her bag and carries it on her back.
“Dring..Dring.
The voice of the message came in via whatssup, the girl opened it.
“Wait for me at the school gate,May.We go home together,”beep a short message Ryan makes his life spirit rise again.
Maya was upset last night, her sleep was very restless thinking about the fate of the mother and the verdict she will receive later in the afternoon.
“May...I'm here!”ryan shouted as the girl walked towards the school gate.
“Quick login! Let's get to the hospital a little bit of luck.”
Maya nods, her heart pounding incoherently and will hear the doctor's diagnosis a few hours into the next.
“May..We stopped by eating meatballs yuk subscription!”
The girl just nodded her head, unable to refuse Ryan's invitation which has helped a lot in all the problems of life she experienced.
In a special restaurant of various types of meatballs….
Maya scoops meatballs in a bowl without spirit.
“Udahlah,May. Think positively. How was it that I was since a baby didn't have a mama.”
As the girl regained her senses, she was much luckier than Ryan, raising her chin to look at the guy and smiling. His spirit is now restored.
“Everything in the world, will return to its creator, May. We must remain steadfast in life,” Ryan said at length.
Sometimes the guy seems indifferent, but on other occasions looks very mature and mature, Maya is very grateful to be able to get love and affection. The figure of a man who can protect him and give attention that has been missing from the figure of the papa.
“I'm afraid of losing my mom,” Maya said as she sipped mineral water from inside the bottle.
“Mama is definitely healed,May. Even if the worst happens, there will still be me.”
“But one day you go to college far away in the land of people. I'm here alone. Where tuition fees in FK are expensive, Ryan.”
“Me and papa will always help you,May.”
“Mama says she still has life insurance as an inheritance for me. If less sell only the house and buy a smaller.”
“Don't do that,May! For rent. Papa told you, he wants to support you until you graduate as a doctor,” Ryan said seriously.
“Thank you, Ryan. But it was too much and not yet the time,”sahut Maya with teary eyes.
“Gak,May. Before the final exam, I'll ask papa to apply for you.”
“Hah? But we're still in school, Ryan.”
Maya blushed in embarrassment, her face looking down at the meatballs and bowls that were in front of her.
“Come smile! Let it be more beautiful. I want to see your dimples.”
Maya gave the sweetest smile, but then the girl again sobbed in her cries.
“Udah ih.malu. Don't cry here!”ryan looked to the right and left.
That afternoon, my mother returned to the hospital with Maya and Ryan. As usual, they had to go through a long queue in front of the check room. Maya closes her eyes and prays, and so does her mother. His third face turned mellow during the wait, and only occasionally opened the phone while listening to music through the headset.
“Siang,Dok.”
“Siang. So here's the results of the blood test and the biopsy.”.
“What's the result doc?”mama hurriedly cut off the conversation so impatiently.
“Sorry,Bu. Calm down first. The diagnosis is stage 3 uterine cancer.But it is better for the mother to consult again to the oncology specialist to ensure.”
Like being struck by lightning during the day, Maya's body went limp instantly, her heart seemed to stop beating and her face was deathly pale. The mother immediately held back the sobs, her voice turned raucous.
“Alright,Dok. Thank you.”
Ryan looked at the two with a worried face. Maya cries sobbing in the waiting room that the guy pulls her towards a nearby restaurant that is quite quiet.
“Udahlah. We better check once again to the oncology specialist.”
The three headed back to the registration room and lingered waiting for certainty.
No matter how many hours they have spent in the hospital, until the verdict from the oncologist was the same, the mother had stage 3 uterine cancer, approaching the highest level of anxiety.
“Stay calm, to speed up healing,”message the doctor before they leave the room.
Since then Maya's determination to become an obstetrician is getting stronger, she is increasingly diligent in learning to be able to boast of the mother and realize her goals, he said, this includes finding the most effective ways to prevent the spread of uterine cancer for someone who has a history of cancer genetically.
“Life is not always perfect, May. Humans will never be perfect, ”nasahat Ryan when they have arrived at Maya's house.
Mama began to rest more and employ three art, two art for laundry work and Wati who is now assigned to take care of housework in place of the role of mama. Ryan is concerned about the problems that his only parents have for his girlfriend. In the middle of the economy of his family that all mediocre, the mother had to bear the suffering that would require huge funds.
“Mama's health insurance coverage is only 500 million,” Maya said when they were on the front porch of the house.
“Can be from 1-2 M. Later I try to ask help papa to find a solution.”
“Money as much as that. How do I replace it?”asked Maya while holding back a cry.
“Udah..Don't think too much. Papa said that you were serious about accepting my proposal. Money means nothing, you'll be the mother of our children. You pay for it with a much more valuable service, the struggle of life.”
The girl looked at the guy sitting in front of her, still clad in a gray white uniform, impressed no matter but the original character was very mature beyond his age. Maya is very lucky to be able to mate with him.
The girl wiped away the tears with the back of her hand, not because she was sad but moved happy, she had not thought about marriage or marriage, but the opportunity came so quickly that she could not resist it, moreover, the condition of the current mama is really pinched.
“You must be strong, May! One day we have to live independently without parents. Give your best to them while you're alive.”
Maya nodded, and looked up at the reddish twilight sky. The future will be beautiful in time, and life will not be forever straight, there will be many small pebbles in life. Humans must always be strong and confident in living it.
