Elio In Action.3.

...******...

I peeked out from the hospital window, yellowing leaves out there preparing to fall leaving tall branches to be replaced by new leaves in the spring

the scenery that I certainly never met in Indonesia, although I once walked on a motorbike on a crowded main road and small yellow flowers fell like snow in winter

or the dried leaves that began to fall from the trees that were originally shady on the edge of the road when the wind hit, just that the number is not as much as the scenery that is currently presented in front of me

or maybe because of the janitor who had swept it first,.....?

I don't know

it is possible, because they are always alert to clean the road that stretches in every corner of the city

"are you ready....?"

Louis and Elio came from behind the door, today is the last day I am a resident of this hospital, may I not come here again in a state of illness or injury

aamiins

Thank God, the small wounds that adorned my body had dried up and some had even peeled off, my hands and feet that were initially sprained were now able to use, I could now use, a slightly fractured hand bone can also be used even though it is still not maximal, leaving my hand exposed to the shot, this hand is a little difficult to use if not using pain medication

the others....? in Shay Allah is safe

Elio....?

still the same, he still did not want to be far from Louis, even sleeping should be accompanied by Louis

"already, in the Lord, his administration....?"

I asked to make sure that by noon this morning we could go home

"all is taken care of, just wait for Nurse to come to open her identification bracelet"

"he's why....?"

I approached Elio who was in Louis's arms, sitting on the bed after Louis put Elio's toy in the bag

he looked limp and uninspired like never before who was cheerful and spoiled

my hands were stretched out to clean the remnants of food around his lips

when did he eat it....?

maybe it was while waiting in the administration....?

it may

"Mommy"

he called to me with his soft voice, his head looking up, looking at me with his glare as if he wanted to complain something through that look

"what's wrong baby....? are you ok....?"

my hand moved on her hair-covered forehead to check her body temperature, afraid she had a fever

no fever

Elio was still silent without answering my question, his tiny hand grabbed my hand and grabbed him

" want to be with Mommy....?" (want to be with Mommy...?)

"with Daddy"

"Daddy Will carry a lot of stuff, let Mommy carry you until we get to the car okay....? eeemmm...?" (Daddy will bring a lot of stuff, let Mommy carry you until we get to the car ok....? eeemm...?).

finally after a few days Elio always refused to be far from Louis, today he also wants me to carry, Thank God there is progress

I moved Elio in my sling, letting Louis take our things first to the car

a Nurse came into the room to remove the identification bracelet that some days has been beautifully circular in my hand and to sign one more file

"Mommy"

Elio was ready to cry when he saw Nurse's sister holding the scissors

"it's ok, she came to take off this bracelet" (what's wrong, Nurse's sister came to remove this wristband)

I tried to appease Elio who was shrinking his face in my Khimar

sister Nurse gives a sweep on the back of Elio who is hiding behind Khimar

"thank you, say thank you to aunty" (thank you, say thank you to aunty)

instead of saying thank you, Elio Mala whined and was ready to cry

"ssttt,..ssstt... don't cry" (don't cry).

"thank aunty" (thank you aunty)

I tried to lower the voice of the little boy in a soft voice, hoping that he would not be offended by Elio's hiding attitude

"you are welcome, handsome" (thank you again, handsome)

he also replied with a voice made to resemble a child's voice before bidding farewell to return to the Nurse station

Louis came with Luca after we waited a while

on the way home many new things I saw, from the start of the beautiful autumn scenery also Elio who received a helping hand Luca when Luca volunteered to carry him

just this time I saw Luca interacting with Elio

I smiled at Elio's jailing attitude, he sat on Luca's lap sitting in the passenger seat beside Louis who was driving

he nosily played the button sleeve of Luca's shirt which seemed silent to let Elio settle for play

satisfied with Luca's sleeve, Elio changed to climb to stand with a tangle around Luca's neck

I just smiled looking at it, not daring to laugh anything else out loud

while Luca is the victim, just resigned and follow the motion of Elio with a hand that is always swift to hold the tiny body of Elio to make sure it does not fall

I looked to the right left to enjoy the architecture of the city decorated with distinctive buildings, the typical European architectural style spoiled the eyes that could only stare at the white walls of the hospital a few days later

in fact, I found some classic buildings such as prehistoric buildings that carry the theme of the past several times across the edge of the road

my heart is intrigued to bring out the desire to explore in some places that contain stories of the past and witness the history of civilizations that are very different and contrary to our civilization, different cultures, and different cultures, different rules and even different building forms

this city which bears witness to the birth of a new civilization that adorns our days today, a capitalist civilization that is thick with Western culture, the culture that now stretches almost all over the world even to enter Muslim countries, Indonesia is no exception

"Zu want to take a walk around Italy....?"

I was surprised to get the question, not because of the question but rather on the person who asked

Luca asked in Indonesian that could not be said good, he even spoke in a worse way than Leora

"you are healthy"

"did you hear that, take her to get romantic honeymoon, while the two of you in a romantic city, if necessary the two of you can go to around Europe" (you hear that, take her for a romantic honeymoon, let's just say you're both in a romantic town, if you need to you two can travel around Europe)

I shuddered in horror when I heard Luca say that, let alone in his last sentence

traveling around Europe, I've been imagining how exhausting it all is

let alone traveling around Europe, visiting all the historical places in the Italian city alone was more than enough to drain my energy which should be enough to stock one month

here, around Europe....?

You kidding or how.....?

"it's not necessary"

I was about to answer, but I paused back when I heard a satisfactory answer from Louis

"Why....?"

"no reason"

Louis was most guarded in igniting aggravation, what else aggravation his brothers, including Elio

"there's always had a reason...Lo"

Luca had a bit of trouble finishing his words when with a nosy little hand Elio closed his lips

"no comment"

the long journey is not too tiring because it is always accompanied by funny behavior Elio who often tries to take the attention of the two of them when they talk without involving him

maybe she's jealous....?

or just nosy....?

only Elio and God know

while I sit sweetly in the back seat watching the show that is going on in front of me even though occasionally I intersperse by looking at the beautiful scenery out there
