The Struggle of a Child
Buddy
Throughout the pain that gnawed at my tiny white body.Makes me not to know the day.Over as I just lay weak on the bed.More and more days. The more flaws are visible.Starting from my weakened physique. My eyes are swollen from sleeping too much.
The outside wind that blows with the leaves fly now I no longer feel.The flashing stars of the night play eyes on the dark clouds now I no longer see.The bright full moonlight I no longer see with my eyes sayu.
Only the ceiling of the room I could see all day.The soundless walls of the room became a release of my silence and became my constant companion at all times.The door of the room that I often passed stared at me softly in the bed the feet that my ears hear are so noisy. Walking around the room of our house.However, I can't see who? The one that crossed near my bedroom door.
My father and my sister's voice was so warm it was heard by me while laughing crisply.
Sometimes I hear my brother say to my father from behind the walls of my room.
"Dad, Anna's going to school tomorrow with you, Dad."
"Yes, son! But you're school tomorrow right, yeah! Take good care of yourself! Your brother's sick, someone's taking care of you at school."
I'm weakly confined to listen to their conversation from behind the walls of the room.Any talk in the living room will surely be heard into my room because the walls of my room are only composed of non-dense boards my room has small cracks too.
The clockwork clinking of the constantly rotating wall rang out by my ears like a song of longing encouragement to myself.My reluctant eyes kept on looking - look around my room.It felt like I would not be long. A small smile continued to be painted on my thin lips.
My father saw my condition. Approaching me by giving positive sympathy to myself." Son! Tomorrow we'll go for treatment, yeah! I've got some good news from my friend.
That, Father's friend said, there was once one of his family who experienced pain like you too.Alhamdulillah healed! Take medication to this doctor. So, he suggested to Dad to bring you treatment there.So, tomorrow we will go impression. I just stared at my father softly.My eyes that have been so sweet it was not so clear to see his sad face. In my faint vision.My father was so sad to see my condition that continues to weaken.His confused and worried face continues to peak in the soles of his eyes.His tired eyes are so bright now look dim because of seeing my condition is getting more and more day getting weaker.
My spoiled sister whom he often noticed is now no longer ignored.Every day my father only thinks about myself.Parent love that used to not so often I get now every day poured out on me. In a weak state.
It's not uncommon for my sister to invite me to play dolls in the house."Sis, we play doll, yeah! Let brother not sleep." Said my sister while handing over a doll to my hand.My weak body I forced as much as possible to wake up from my bed.Smiling cheerfully was now painted on my pale face.My weak body also felt so fresh and as if I felt that I'm healthy again.
Ahaha! My sister's laughter sounded so cheerful that it filled the room ."Aren't you a deck school?" Staring at my sister who plays her own doll while talking. "Sister! Doesn't your sister know that I was in school?! That's why you don't be in the room. Every now and then you come out of the room let you see out there a lot of kids playing."Playing with his puppet.
My ears hear what my sister says.My mouth can only be silent. Look at the room from the wide open door."Sis, we're out playing once in a while! Sister is not going to school.Let me say the same Dad later! Kan, if I talk to Dad, I'll let him." Innocently my sister showed me her face."Where could Dad be on deck." I said with pessimism. "Because you never allow your sister to go out to play when you're healthy." Especially when my sister was sick? Where could Dad allow brother deck." Stare blankly at the room seen from the door.
Our game was so fun in bed. Cute doll became my friend today.Smile also continues to be carved beautifully in the corner of my small lips thin and red.My sister who continues to run her dolls to and fro while laughing cheerfully.One of these days it feels like I never experiencing any pain.
"Sir,ayo play the doll! Don't shut up."Giving a tiny little doll to me.
"But my sister is tired of the deck.So I just want to rest.Throw the doll to the corner of the bed.My sister took the thrown doll and gave it back to me."No brother! Later, I'm angry that you're just sleeping." Staring at me fixed."How could you be angry at the deck, you're sick!" I said with a protest to my stubborn sister."The brother can't just sleep! Remember Dad said.With a plain face I remember what my father said before he went to work."Ana, after school! Accompany your brother lest he sleep constantly! Don't go anywhere you go, yeah! My father apparently said that out loud and my sister still remembers it today.
I also fight my eyes so as not to fall asleep while holding my head down which sometimes wants to sleep. Because if I sleep my sister will definitely complain to my father and of course! My father will be furious.
While from inside the room I heard the voices of children my age and my sister's age were laughing loudly so happily. I who looked at myself now can only sit quietly on the bed.Although, occasionally I went out of the room but it was just to see the outside world.My sister who was sitting beside me. Now running to see the children playing outside.I just heard from inside the room with a doll.They called my sister. "Ana, it's okay to play!" They shouted loudly calling my sister from behind the door."I don't love my dad coming out because my brother's sick." With his innocent voice refused his friend's invitation to play.My little heart actually wants to play freely as long as I have not been to school.But, what is my day. I can't do it because of my body's condition. If only my schoolmates had seen me play. My father would be ashamed. Because they and my teacher also knew that I was sick.
I haven't been in school for so long. Hows it? Maybe I dare to play though, just walking around our yard.
Seriate......
