Rainbow for Aqila
Chapter 6: Forced Adult

Childhood, such a wonderful time for some people, just know how to play and laugh as if life goes on without problems

But Aqila's childhood was lost since she was seven, her sister Reyna who was often invited to play lying weak in the hospital due to liver cancer she suffered

Luckily the condition was known early, when Reyna realized often nausea, vomiting, fever, followed by other symptoms, they immediately took her to Bramadja hospital

The Bramadja family is not only engaged in industry and commerce but also health, the company is managed by his father Arya Banyu Bramadja, who is a member of the family, while Bramadja hospital that already has many branches is managed by his uncle or brother of his father Raditya Bramadja neurologist who is so respected in the hospital

When Reyna was convicted of liver cancer their feelings were torn, although the doctor who handled it at that time had said because this was still an early stage, the removal of the tumor in the liver has a great chance that the patient will recover

However, still the feeling of anxiety will always be there, when he saw Reyna lying in a hospital bed with an infusion in her hand was quite heartbreaking, especially after the operation was completed various life support hose installed in her body

Since that time Aqila was often alone at home, they did not allow her to come at that time because small children like her were not good too long in the hospital

The days of Aqila for almost a month were quiet except for Sunday when sometimes his cousin Kirana or Davin visited his house, his parents rarely went home even twice and it was just a change of clothes, his brothers did, too, after school they go straight to the hospital to cheer Reyna up and comfort her without understanding Aqila's feelings of being left alone

Aqila once caught up with them because she missed her family, but just arrived in front of Reyna's room her papa immediately told her to go home

"The hospital is not good for the health of Aqila, here a lot of disease viruses, Aqila is still small so easy to get hit"

"But Aqila misses you guys"

"At home, Reyna finished praying to get well quickly" Aqila nodded and quickly hugged her papa tightly

"Back home, Aqila misses"

"Where is Aqila going?" Radit was astonished to see Aqila when he saw that his nephew had just arrived there

"home"

"Well you look at Reyna?" Aqila shook her head

"Papa little boy's word is not good in the hospital, will get a virus" Radit rubbed his nephew's hair and turned to look at the VIP room that was closed perfectly, he confirmed that his sister's words in the hospital were not good for Aqila but that he at least allowed his daughter in to see their condition, he understood that this little boy must be lonely

"Let's om anterin go home, all of us buy a lot of ice cream" Aqila's gloomy face was immediately replaced by a smile when she heard her uncle's words

"Bright om?" Radit nodded in response and rubbed the head of the little girl who was wrapped in hijab

"Buy a lot of it, make Reyna too later if he recovers, he also likes ice cream"

"Reyna's still sick, so still can't have ice, so tomorrow we'll buy another one for Reyna huh?" Aqila thought for a while then nodded enthusiastically

The day Aqila awaited arrived, the return of her sister from the hospital, and automatically her other family will also come home, she is happy finally now she is not lonely anymore

The sparkle of happiness was clearly imprinted on his face when he saw the black colored car entering the grounds of the house

"REYNA" he ran towards the door of the car that his sister had just opened

"Eh wait a minute, don't hug recklessly" his eldest brother, Devano immediately blocked Aqila who ran enthusiastically towards them

"Why?"

"Reyna's only healed, the wound hasn't fully recovered" Daren explained as he rubbed his sister's head in a fit of anxiety

"How much longer can you play with Reyna?"

"Aqila has to wait..." Daren tapped her chin as if thinking while Aqila looked at her brother's face with high curiosity

"Either" Aqila immediately scowled at the answer of the brother, making Daren anxious with his sister's behavior on this one

Seconds changing minutes, minutes changing hours, hours changing days and days changing weeks, Aqila felt lonely in the crowd, everything changed with the change of days, and the day changed, He felt as if there was an invisible distance between himself and his family

Always Reyna, all requests the youngest will be fulfilled, Reyna so spoiled by them, even once Rian was teaching him cycling in their yard, Rian, but suddenly Reyna comes and calls Rian to play together because Devano and Daren have affairs at school

Rian took off the bike just like that, even though Aqila could not even pedal in balance, and he fell off the bike

"SISTER RIAN" Aqila called out to her brother shouting, can't her brother tell her to come down first, even in a hurry

Rian turned his head for a while looking at Aqila with reddened eyes and nose like he wanted to cry

"DON'T CRY, SO THAT WOMAN MUST BE STRONG" Rian left after leaving Aqila there, looking at her bleeding knees, Aqila bowed her head above her elbows and cried silently

Since then, he was forced to accept the situation, often forgotten, even the last time he celebrated a birthday with his family when he was twelve years old was done a week later, the reason? they forget

He was required to mature prematurely, he grew up because of the circumstances that forced him, he was a strong woman and since then he also did not let others see tears dripping from his brown eyes, all that was attached to his face was a smile as if the world was fine, as if he was the happiest and luckiest person, just a fake laugh as a mask to close the wound and convince everyone that he is okay

Though his heart was torn and scratched deep by the wound that was widening and did not know when it would heal

There is nothing colorful and special for him, he envies seeing children his age take a report with his parents and given a prize when they succeed in winning a champion, or cheered when they fail

He wanted to hear the phrase "Aqila is great" from his parents when he won the race instead of just congratulations from his teacher
