Mega-mega red twilight has returned to its contest, as the breeze of the night wind replaces the scorching sun of the day. The workers returned home tired and tired, chatting with family while telling stories about today and tomorrow's plans.
After returning home from the Doctor and the masseuse, Dawn delivered Pingka to his boarding house. He decided to stay at Pingka's place tonight before heading back to the garden. Fajar works at an office of a palm oil company near his village. Dawn is the son of Aunt Halimah.
"That's it, brother take you to the bathroom, clean your body. Brother set up dinner when you're done knock on the door." Dawn put her bag and Pingka in the middle room .
"Yes, Brother. Sorry to bother you, Brother."
"It's okay, thank you Brother for the City otherwise, who takes care of you?" Dawn prepares warm water for Pingka.
"Come, Brother ! I'm ready." Pingka raised her hand.
Dawn carried Pingka to the bathroom and placed her slowly. Dawn deftly began peeling vegetables and seasonings, he cooked dinner for the two of them. Before long the bathroom door was knocked from the inside.
"So, turn off the stove first." Dawn turned off the stove and opened the door, she carried slowly and helped Pingka sit on the sofa
"Thank you, Brother." Pingka
"Wait, Brother finished the bath, we just had dinner." Dawn opens the bag taking a change of clothes.
Grimacing Pingka rubbed her ankle softly which started to hurt again, the pain she received today was representative of how much Endra hated her. Rude words and insults have become a daily meal if you meet the man. Perhaps, betrayal was better than rejection in his opinion.
When the link chain is broken because it is stuck to another object. Maybe, the real eye looks.But when the chain of relationships it wants to be put together but there is no intention of uniting it then it hurts. Love's. Maybe, not yet ! But it could come with time. Isn't it the depths of the heart that no one can dive? Even though divers are reliable, only we are able and know the benchmark of taste in ourselves.
"Let's have dinner." Invite Fajar to bring vegetable dishes and side dishes on the front desk of the sofa.
Pingka and Dawn eat while watching television. The rice was swallowed so smoothly yet tastelessly, the eyes watching television. But the mind is out of sync, that's how it is right now. Baku Hantam is better for Pingka than to receive pain without a fight. Highlight the sharp and reddened eyes, the lion-like face ready to pounce, as well as the loud and spicy claps still ringing in the ears and the memory of Pingka.
"Already, Brother. Where's the cure ?" Ask the weak Pingka. The breezy pain began to overwhelm his right leg, the leg that supported him full of strength while he was in front of the enemy. Now the foot seemed to cry out for mercy when he hit the floor unable to withstand the weight of the owner's body which suddenly collapsed.
Dawn opens the bag of crackles peeling medicine for Pingka. "Tell me ! Why go around like this ?" He said while taking a glass of water.
"So it slipped on the pantry while making tea, the glass broke and the tea spilled on the floor." Pingka replied a little peppering with lies.
"You sure marrying a man doesn't have that kind of heart ? In fact, he knows for himself you're hurting not a bit of his attention." The dawn was so upset
"Leave it, brother. Perhaps, he also can not accept all this, pray that everything is fine." The Pingka words begin to evaporate.
"Wait ! We'll sleep in the middle room let Brother take care of you." Dawn hurried to pick up the sleeping gear in Pingka's room.
After setting it up, Dawn helped Pingka lie down on the bed. Dawn stared at his sister's face. "If the man hurts you, Brother will repay him." He said as he grabbed the ointment and smeared it.
In his heart was very angry, still remember if the man who did not deserve to be considered a future husband was staring coldly at Pingka. When asking for help, Dawn got into the car. Strange his Pingka did not complain even cry, was the matured of his beloved sister ? Are you able to face your own problems? In fact, he knows very well how fragile the woman who fell asleep like a baby in this blanket, it is still clear how many events last year, Pingka lamented the departure of both parents just a different day, the loss that made him hit at the age of fifteen years, no longer feel the affection of his parents. Only Dawn and Aunt Halimah were his reinforcement.
Feeling tired and sleepy, Dawn also took a pillow and blanket and put it on the sofa. Slowly Dawn fell asleep in a dream. Midnight, Fajar fell asleep, as if he had forgotten his main task of taking care of a sick Pingka
"If you get to the city, learn to swim so you can help yourself." Pingka was raving in her sleep. His body trembled like cold, his body curled up in a blanket like a shrimp.
Dawn woke up after hearing her sister's voice, she touched Pingka's forehead. His body temperature rose, Fajar became panicked immediately carried by Pingka and pulled the bag and entered the car and drove to the hospital.
...----------------...
Anxiously Fajar stood in front of the IGD. Every now and then his eyes watched the doorknob, the second time Dawn like a lost person was faced with the same condition .
"Miss Pingka's family !" Call the nurse .
"I." Answer the Dawn immediately
"Get in. The doctor wants to talk to you." Said Nurse.
Dawn entered with a feeling of anxiety, she slowly moved her legs. "Excuse me !" Politely said.
"Please sit down, sir. Brother — Father does not experience a serious illness just fever and lack of fluids, and his legs swell due to sprained ya ?" bright Doctor.
"Yes, yesterday he slipped." Reply to Dawn with relief in her heart.
"To be treated here tonight, we will observe until tomorrow, if the fever improves, we can go home.
"Thank you, Doctor." Dawn Speech. Experiencing that handsome doctor.
"Alright, let's move the hospital room first." Doctor's Word
Fajar nodded patiently as he waited for the transfer of Pingka, Fajar wanting to inform his mother. But broke it. After being moved Fajar chose to sleep on the side chair of the Pingka gurney.
...****************...
The beautiful woman who fell limp on this white mattress, felt the quiet atmosphere away from the frenzy of the vehicle. In his heart asked where he was at the moment?
Pingka blinked her eyes, her gaze fixed on the iron pole beside her and turned to the figure sleeping on the chair. The same scene as a few years ago, when he woke up when he fainted for so long just different places today.
"What's going on ? Why is it here ?" He muttered with raucous.
Fajar heard Pingka's voice and raised his head with a slight squint. "You're awake? At two o'clock last night you had a high fever." Said explained.
"Sister, I'm healthy !" Pingka wanted to sit down
"You are still in the observation of the orange, wait said the Doctor first ! When can you go home ?" Dawn helps Pingka to sit down.
"Yes, Brother. But Brother today works how?" Ask Pingka a little weakly.
"So, we're not going to take care of our leave." Dawn grabbed the phone in her pants pocket. He came out of the room and called his friend, after which he took Pingka's cell phone which had been in the bag since yesterday.
Dawn grabbed the phone and turned it on, lots of messages and calls from Ravita and Sandi asking for news. Dawn presses Sandi's number, which she believes is Endra's assistant
"Hallo." Answer the voice across there
"With Mr Sandi ?" Ask Fajar
"Yes my own. What happened to Pingka ? Why is the phone with you?" Ask Sandi.
Secretly Endra eavesdropped on Sandi's conversation and people were called.
"All right, I'll take care of the cut." Said Sandi was concerned about the condition of his co-worker.
"Thank you I hung up." Dawn broke off the phone.
...----------------...
Endra again neutralized himself and pretended to focus on the files in front of him. After Sandi stopped taking calls.
"Sir, today Miss Pingka is not at work, she is sick and being treated at the moment." Said Sandi gave a report.
Endra's chest is pounding.
What because of yesterday ? Ah ! He's the only one spoiled. Maybe, wanting to get my attention it won't happen.
"Leave it ! At least today I'm off to see her innocent-ass face !" Endra said cynically
There seems to be no guilt from you, Endra.
"May I take a day off, see him ?" Ask Sandi heart - heart.
"Please ! Looks like you really care about her, I warned Sandi. Don't be so trusting of her innocent face, she can be deceiving, look at my mother. Actually, what is Mom proud of that jungle girl ? The uneducated ancient !" Endra said fire .
It turns out you don't recognize Pingka actually. Perhaps, the origin - the origin of the suburban wilderness there. But his brain and insight were very City once. In fact, you don't know his last education.
The silent password does not answer Endra's sentence. So far Endra only knows ready to accept employees who are hired for him, about who the employee is ? He didn't want to know, unless that person harmed his company then he found out.
...****************...
Pingka has started to be healthy only her legs are still swollen. Dawn still faithfully accompanied him, they told each other when they were far apart. They were very familiar from childhood .
"Excuse me, good morning." Said the handsome doctor who entered with the nurse
"Good morning, Doctor." Reply Pingka and Dawn.
"How are there complaints today?" The doctor asked, smiling
"Only the feet are still swollen and sore." Answer Pingka.
"It's like that Miss if she's sprained. In two or three days you can walk. But it must still be painful." Clear gentle Doctor.
"When can my sister go home ?" Ask Fajar
"More or tomorrow can also, from the results of the examination all normal and has improved. Miss Pingka try to keep her diet and sleep well maintained, solid activity greatly affects the health of the body" said the handsome doctor.
"Well, if I can go home in the afternoon." Pingka
"Yes, get well soon." The doctor left the Pingka room.
Pingka simply replied with a smile. Dawn grabbed a bowl of porridge on the nightstand and wanted to feed her sister.
"Sister, don't eat porridge. I've been healthy buying other food." Pingka Whimpek.
"Yes, you're a picky eater." Reply Dawn put the bowl again on the nightstand.
Dawn left Pingka alone in her room and went to buy food for the two of them. Don't forget he was in the car, too, picking up a change of clothes. Since waking up he has not cleaned himself up. Nearly thirty minutes of Dawn brought back food and food and paper bags
"It's not long ago."
"Silver take a change of clothes in the parking lot has not taken a shower from morning, later the good looks of Brother reduced, the time must be extended use of clay again let kinclong !" Canda Fajar opens the food pack.
"I'm just bribing myself." Pingka asked for her food box
"Okay, your brother's taking a shower first." Dawn immediately stepped into the bathroom.
After he finished cleaning himself, Dawn came out of the bathroom and sat on the sofa eating his food. Not to forget he always invites Pingka to chat so as not to feel saturated.
"When was your wedding done?" Ask Fajar while cleaning the table.
"Three days after this, brother. Aunt Erly told me yesterday. Endra will marry me in three days' time." Answer Pingka
"Then, after you get out of the hospital, you go to the village to pick up Mom, you buy a ticket for Mom." Dawn
"Yes, Brother. Sorry to bother Aunt and Brother." Pingka.
"Don't put on a face like that or Brother will take you to the oil palm plantation so you're away from them." Dawn is upset
Pingka chuckled from childhood indeed Dawn could not see the sadness of Pingka. Fajar was happy to see the smile of his cousin's sister even though it only curved slightly on his lips, used to be a jolly figure, like to play with small children in the village. But at the betrayal of her lover, Pingka seemed afraid to smile like before. His heart wound at that time took away the rest of his cheerfulness after losing both of his parents.
Dawn is the only witness where Pingka cried sadly while attending Hendri and Rania's wedding. I want it to feel like Fajr killed the person who hurt Pingka but he has no power to do so.
Dawn left Pingka briefly out of the room. The girl touched her aching ankle, a glimpse of Endra scolding her twisted back. The harsh words he heard hurt his heart.
Did I bring shit ?
Pingka wiped her tears slowly.
