The Struggle of a Child
Cue
"I'm not afraid, you'll get sick" I said.
"Son, you won't get sick" said my sister confidently.
"Where do you know, brother?" my many.
" 'Can't you, I have medicine" replied my sister.
Hearing my sister, made me have to think hard. My sister didn't say it wrong. I do have medicine to guard against my pain. My eyes looked at the floor from where I stood to the end of our kitchen door. I also had to make a decision immediately even though the anxiety enveloped me.
"Sik, a minute, yeah!" I walked closer to the drug storage. After I arrived, I stood for a moment looking at the wrapped medicine. I kept talking in my mind after I saw that powerful medicine.
My two little hands seemed reluctant to reach for the medicine that often became companion in my life every day. Being a guard for me from the cold attack that attacked this tiny body. Become a savior of this body from the heat that strikes as well. He never protested even though I repeatedly grinded it fine, even throwing it away as well. He wants to be my best friend at all times.
"Sister, Come! It's late afternoon, brother. Later if we go to the afternoon, Daddy's angry, brother." My sister screamed to call me.
"I-iya," I said as I turned to meet my sister. "Does my sister have to take a shower?" ask me with a question mark full of not willing.
"Who wants to take a shower?" My father's voice suddenly sounded from the room. "Why are you guys fighting, huh?" ask my father in a hoarse voice. "You take a shower, you have to fight first" continued my father, who heard our voices. "If you want to take a shower, take a shower!" my father screamed in a state, like a sleepy person telling us to hurry to take a bath.
"Yes Dad. Here we are going to take a shower" my sister said in a panic.
"Keep, what else are you worried about?" ask my father not to understand.
Me and my brother who stood up also met and we too, just silently heard my father's screams from inside the room.
My sister's lips are said to tell me something. I who did not understand my sister just looked at her while gawking.
"Sister!" call my sister with a lip gesture that I can understand.
"What?" I immediately answered with a question back.
The wave of my sister's hand swinging in the air that was constantly waving me made me wonder at her. While standing I also looked at my brother's eyes and mouth to understand what he was saying.
Huh! I sighed and gave in to the gesture he used to call me to him. "What, Sister?" I stood before him.
"Yeah!" My sister shakes her head inexhaustibly. "Why is the new brother coming now ?"ask my tired sister who called me.
"I don't understand. You continue like this, "I said while practicing the style of my sister who called me earlier.
Haha ! Even a faint laugh sounded as if he was laughing at me.
"Yes, Father," said my sister.
"Have your sister taken a shower?" ask dad.
"Not yet Father" replied my sister.
"Ooh! I forgot to tell your brother. This afternoon, he didn't take a shower" my father said.
"Why Dad?"ask sister.
"Your brother is still sick. The pain will recur again, replied my father.
My sister was immediately lethargic after hearing that. For the umpteenth of the day my brother has not yet been allowed to take a bath, said my sister seeing me who was weak helpless.
"Today, Dad! brother will be healed, well," my sister begged my father.
"Not yet, son," answered my father. Last night your brother took medicine three times a day. And so it was, too," said my father explaining it to my sister.
My spoiled sister was very sad to hear that. Her spirit has now disappeared after receiving my father's refusal to take a bath. "But, 'And Dad, you can take a bath in warm water, '" my sister urged me to go back to my father.
"Yes, son, I know. But it's cold." My father still defends his decision.
