The Tippingback of Rania's World
Episode 28 – Love Mother

“Bu..”.

“Nak... Thank goodness you are aware,” said mother. He kissed his daughter's forehead.

Rania's tears are flowing. How could he doubt the love of this family. Look, father and mother are waiting for him with anxious and tired faces. His two siblings were also seen lacking sleep accompanying him in the hospital.

It's possible that they're not her real family, as Rania had guessed. But their affection is truly sincere.

“How are you doing, Son?” ask dad.

“I'm fine, Yeah. Just feeling a little sleepy. And my left leg feels cramped,” said Rania.

“Thank God,” says dad relieved.

“Can't fart yet?” chirps Arka.

“Hah? Whatan, anyway?” rania's protest followed Livy's laughter.

“Lho, he said if people finish the operation it must fart first just declared healthy,” said Arka.

“Iya, yes. I'll fart later. But it must hold the same aroma that is fragrant and fresh, yes,” said Rania. Livy was really sick to the stomach hearing the chatter of his two brothers.

“Oh yes, Son. Some teachers visited you. At that time, you were still in the operating room. Mr. Rayhan also apologizes to you,” father's story.

“Why should I apologize? That wasn't his fault. I'm sure all the shelves in the school library are old. Has the shelf ever been replaced, since the school was founded forty years ago?” rania.

“Yeah, but in any case, they deeply regret this incident. The school even paid all hospital fees until you recover,” said father.

“Really? Thank goodness then,” said Rania. He's really relieved. His father and mother did not bear too heavy a burden because of him.

“Well, mom's time to eat. I promised you that Rania knew she was going to eat. Look now it's eleven,” pinta Arka.

“Eh, it's eleven o'clock? And mom hasn't eaten?” ask Rania.

“Iya true. Come, Ma. I don't want to be a hospital patient either, do I?” cajole Arka and Livy.

“Iya.. Yes.. I eat, nih,” said mother while reaching for ramas rice that Arka bought earlier.

Tap... Tap.. Tap. Rania could guess, if it was the doctors and nurses who were guarding the night.

Rania's gaze turned to the carpet that her family stretched on the floor. The four of them lined up neatly straighten the body that from noon there was no rest.

“They must be tired. Pity to sleep on a carpet like that. Though they tomorrow have to work and school,” Inner Rania.

If in the past Rania always get exclusive treatment from her personal doctor to the house, then now she must be patient with all the facilities of the third-class room where she was treated. Fortunately, all costs are borne by the school.

At 02:30, Rania's eyes were not closed. He must have been asleep for too long because of the anesthetic injection. Ex-operative pain, sometimes also painful.

“Magic in Europe.” Rania types in keywords in the search group.

Luckily, the hospital has free wifi access. It becomes easier to connect to the internet.

Lots of articles that appear related to the keywords they write. But in general, it all ends in myths and legends.

“Which I know, the witch is indeed just a legend, anyway. Why did I dream about that? The face of the woman called the witch was very similar to Mama's. They also use Romanian, Rania's inner”.

The seventeen-year-old girl's flickering fingers again typed a new keyword, “Transilvania Witch,” she wrote. But again the article that appeared did not satisfy his curiosity.

Sruk. Rania put her body in the bed. His eyes looked at the dull white hospital ceiling. His mind drifted far away. Repeating the senseless events that happened to him.

It all started from a dream he drowned and woke up in a foreign place, then heard rumors of him missing in the lake. Then strange memories that often crossed his head. It's not all a coincidence, is it? Is he in an identity crisis because he has a head injury?

Seems not. He believes that last winter he was still on holiday in Europe with his family. Visiting his mother's hometown in the village of Alirnea, which has long been abandoned. Last October, he represented the Biology Olympics in Japan.

“Ah, true too. Biology Olympiad. I won the silver medal. There is no way the news just disappeared,” muttered Rania.

Within 0.001 seconds, the information he wanted was met. Mbah gugel + strong wifi is a good study friend.

“What is this? My photo is a winner. But why Rania Putri?” jerit Rania in heart. He's very angry. It was like someone was conspiring to toy with him right now.

“Then, we change the tactics. We start from social media ‘Rania Putri’,” muttered Rania while pressing the icon of the social media application nercolor red. Due to the limitations of quotas and other activities, he has not had time to check his social media.

“Wah, unbelievable. IG followers only 42 people?” inner Rania. He already has 2.3 M followers from various countries.

It's predictable. Nothing special from social media ‘Rania Putri’. The number of posts is only eleven.

“Ah, it turns out that Mikko and I have known each other since Junior High?” rania said alone. A pair of Junior High School students holding diplomas take pictures together. Their uniforms are a little different. Maybe they are different schools.

“Why the longer I feel like I don't know Rania Putri, huh?” muttered.

Rania's mind then terbesit to check her own social media, although her heart is quite pessimistic to see some oddities that occur lately.

“Tuh, right?” rania Gumam. He could not log into his social media pages. Because the account he was referring to was not found.

“Hah... Though it can be proof and clue,” lamented.

It seems like he has to dig up more information. He also had to borrow the Romanian history book from Bu Beva, the library keeper.

“Doctor, can a person's eye color change?” rania asked during the morning doctor's visit. At that time his father and mother were busy taking care of the administration, while his two brothers had gone home.

“Medically can. Why?” ask Dr. Maria.

“As I recall, my eye color was not like this,” said Rania. “More precisely the color of my eyes is not brown,” he continued in the heart.

“Do you have a serious genetic disease?” ask the doctor.

“No,” replied Rania.

“Then, did you experience extreme dietary changes?” ask Dr. Mary again.

“Not really,” replied Rania.

“Then it is impossible that the color of your eyes can change,” replied Dr Maria.

“Sorry, doctor. It has taken up your time,” said Rania.

“It's okay, Nak.”

“If that were the case, there would be another Rania besides myself. Or all this is just a hoax,” muttered Rania after Maria's doctor left.
