“Antrian number 95 on behalf of Kirana?”, call someone from the hospital administration section.
A middle-aged woman approached and handed over and signed some documents handed to her.
“Thank you.”, said the woman after all the process seems to have finished.
The hospital was more crowded than usual. Many people pass by and the number of queues is quite long. Even to complete the administrative process until you have to wait 30 minutes. Usually not queuing at all.
‘Hah..’, the woman sits by her daughter's bedside. Kirana.
Kirana was admitted to the hospital this morning after complaining of pain in her stomach. Mama Kirana panicked what to do because Kirana kept shouting. The body is also very hot. Luckily her daughter did not lock the door so her mother easily entered.
Mama Kirana immediately asked for help from their neighbors who fortunately had not left. Usually when it is 9 am, the housing atmosphere is very quiet. Especially an ordinary day. They were also kind enough to take Kirana to the hospital immediately while their high school son chose to ride on the online motorcycle that day.
Mama Kirana put her purse on top of the closet which also serves as a table beside her daughter's bed. Kirana filled one inpatient room.
Her mother's palm landed on Kirana's forehead to check if the heat had gone down. Already, but unfortunately still hot. Her daughter was sleeping after exhaustion withstood the pain in her stomach. The doctor's diagnosis is a stomach ulcer. Kirana already has a history of this disease because she often leaves her breakfast.
Yesterday, he lied saying he had lunch when he had not. Later that night Kirana refused to eat dinner because she felt full. As a result ba’da dawn, the pain in his stomach began to feel but Kirana held it.
At 6 a.m., he could no longer hold back and whimpered. Her mother who wanted to wake Kirana up to go to college found her already on the floor holding her stomach and crying.
Mama Kirana sighed. This morning's incident managed to give him a sense of panic and shock that was so great. Since divorcing father Kirana a few years ago, her mother had never faced such a situation. Conditions in their homes are good - even though sometimes there are financial difficulties. But not so bad.
Usually in times like this, the figure of a father and husband at home becomes a place to depend and the most reliable person. The void was very much felt for mama Kirana at this moment.

“For everyone.”, greet Rian started class this morning.
The man entered 5 minutes late than usual. He was always there 10 minutes before class. The students who took the class asked if the class was still going on because the man didn't show up.
At first they were happy until someone destroyed their fun by giving word that Mr. Rian was seen walking from the hallway to the classroom.
“Ghe, Kirana where?”, asked Radit nudging Ghea.
Radit who had taken place in the front row deliberately moved to the back because he wanted to ask that. Usually Kirana and Ghea are one package for the same course - the same they take. But, until the start of class, Kirana was invisible as well.
Raka who was sitting in the number two row from the front also looked back at Ghea. Tumben there was no Kirana there, he thought.
“Don't know. I was not yet in reply.”, replied Ghea.
Kirana didn't say anything to him. They still had messages yesterday morning. But after that, Ghea was too busy with her phone. He was busy checking out the items he wanted to buy at the online promo this month.
Shortly after, Raka also asked the same question. The difference is, the man did not make a sound and only used codes.
‘Where is it?’, so as if - as questions from him.
Ghea just shrugged her shoulders.
“Ehem - ahem.. Sorry I'm late. We start his class now.”, Rian managed to make all the students who were still busy with their respective affairs refocus on him.
The man also took part in screening to all the benches in his class. He also realizes there is no Kirana in his class. But, he was still behaving appropriately even though in his heart he was asking questions. Kirana where?
The man was indeed seen carrying a map when he entered the classroom. He usually only carries his cell phone. It turns out he brought the results of a student UTS paper.
“Sonia.”
“Tri Darmawan”
“Hendra”
“Rey”
“Mulan”
“Wulan”
“Gilbert”
“Radit.”
“Kirana.”
All the names he called before Kirana walked forward to pick up their UTS papers. When Kirana's name was called, no one came forward. Although Rian had realized it before, but he deliberately called back as if he did not realize that Kirana was not in the classroom.
“Kirana?”
“There is no Kirana?”, asked Rian.
“Again, Mr.”, replied Ghea later.
“Where?”, ask Rian again.
“Don't know, Sir.”, replied Ghea.
“Where do you know Kirana?”, asked Rian again who he directed at all the students in his class.
Yes, Rian deliberately called Kirana's name as if he was unaware of her existence so that he could ask.
No one answered. Partly shakes.
“If anyone meets. Please tell me to come to my room to pick up the answer sheet.”, Rian said later.

“Halo Aunt.. Sorry, Aunt. Kirana did not reply. So Ghea called aunt. Kirana did not enter the campus, why did you tan?”, asked Ghea who decided to contact Kirana's mobile phone after class was finished.
“Oh.. Huh huh? See you in the hospital, Tan? What hospital is tan? Let Ghea get there. Oh.. Cempaka Hospital is the most deket with housing huh Tan? Okay - okay tan. Later if you can after Ghea class is finished, Ghea there is Tan?”, said Ghea.
“Oh.. Okay if that's tomorrow Ghea's there. Bad ga tan? Sorry Tan, Ghea asked a lot. Oh okay.. Thanks aunt.. Hope you get well Tan, Kirana.”, reply Ghea ended the phone connection.
Mama Kirana advised not to visit him today because he was still full of rest. Without him noticing someone eavesdropping on Ghea's conversation on the phone.
