THE WOMAN (END)
01 New Jobs
"Andi, have you finished eating, son?" I approached Andi while carrying a bottle of mineral water as a supply of drinking in school.I know my son is so active move so he is very easy to thirst.
"Udah ma," Andi pushed slowly on the plate and got up from the chair and took the bottle from my hand.
"His textbook?"
"Udah ma. today mama works right? what time's it coming home?"tanyanya seriously.
"Mama doesn't know yet, baby, but hopefully mama can go home soon! lunch you have mama taro in the refrigerator, pocket money for njai also already mama simpen in your njai bag. don't play far! if you want to play with Reyhan aja." my orders were immediately replied by a nod. I am fortunate to have a Son like Andi who is patient and understanding. She didn't complain much even she would never do the Things that would make me angry. I'm grateful for her presence on my side.
Last night I and Andi had talked about my new job, and it was fortunate that he understood.he only asked me to work well, so that I could return home sooner. he was very happy when he found out that if I didn't work in the factory anymore, he thought I didn't have time off and even overtime.he was also angry when I worked at night, because I have to leave it to my neighbor, Miss Dewi. at least working as ART will not make me stay, besides my current work place is also not so far from home. it only takes 20 minutes to use public transport.
Andi had left school with some of her friends while I went back inside to get my bag and cell phone.
"Lis, haven't left yet?"the voice of the Goddess Mother sounded loud from outside, I immediately came out and approached her.
"This is just about to go, ma'am. Oh yes, I tipped the keys to the house, ma'am, and Andi also tipped." My request with shame. Miss Dewi is the mother of Reyhan who is also my son's classmate. To me, Mother Goddess, I think of her as my own brother. They are so good to me and Andi, but I feel sad if you keep asking for help and bothering him.
"Take it easy," said her with a face full of sincerity.
"Where? did you see your employer's house yesterday? fits no?" tanyanya looks so curious.
I nodded Doubtfully, there is no way that I said it is not suitable. while Miss Dewi is the intermediary between Me and Bu Rahayu. And I don't want to disappoint him either. "Udah ma'am, thank God it fits" I said
"Thank God, may the master be good. And you work there too. If the husband says mother anyway, Bu Rahayu is a good person." he said full of confidence. She knew clearly the story of Bu Rahayu's family from her husband Pak Yanto who happened to work as an employee in one of the subsidiaries owned by the Hadiwijaya family.
But it seems like Miss Dewi does not know about the patients I will take care of later when working at Rahayu's house.
"Yes Ma'am, it looks like Ms. Rahayu is a good person, and I hope I feel at home!" answer's short.
"Yes, go there! It's late again." He realized that if I started to get worried about our chat that would be very long. I smiled faintly, then left and rushed towards the main road in search of public transportation.
•••••
Today is my first day at work, I offer a little prayer and hope so that what I do today goes well. I entered through the side door, I stepped my foot in a feeling unsure if I could work as Bu Ayu asked. After yesterday Bi Marni explained what tasks I did. YEP! That day I was really surprised to find out I had to take care of the sick. Two weeks ago Bu Rahayu's nephew had a serious accident on the highway. Even his left hand and foot cracked and broken so it must be in the Gypsies. His face was no less severe, from the temple to the chin there were bruises and swelling and some thin scratches from broken glass. "Yephhh!" I sighed deeply, if I remember I had never taken care of a sick person before. Even my late husband did not have time to take care of him even though he was seriously injured during the accident......
"Lis, you've come! can you help me for a second?!" pinta Bi Marni surprised me. I ran small and came closer.I held the spatula that he handed me. "Help me cook! you please make Omlette for mommy well. I want some soup manasin for a minute!" door's hasty. I snatched Teflon directly on the stove, lucky that I had learned to make Omlette from the cooking video I had seen.
"Thank God you came in time Lis," Bi Marni served all of that food on the dining table. I looked around, looking so quiet. "Is it just Bu Ayu who's having breakfast?" I whispered to Bi Marni. He nodded with his hands still focused on arranging the table.
"Bu Ayu's coming out soon, you should go to Mas Sandy's room! Don't forget, the breakfast is also brought!" he asked as he looked at the clock on the wall. I nodded and immediately ran to the kitchen and took a tray containing breakfast for my new 'Patient.
On arrival at the door, I paused for a moment. UH! damn my heart feels cold hot. Afraid that Mas Sandy will be disturbed and angry, Because I heard from Bi Marni, the three ARTs that were fired yesterday were at the request of Mas Sandy himself. Hopefully Mas Sandy's mood is Good today, so I'm not exposed to the outpouring of Emotions.
CLAMPS, CLOVES,
"Excuse me, it's time for breakfast!" I opened the door and greeted him in a soft voice as possible. I see that Sandy's still asleep, hasn't she slept all night? Thought. Or is he used to waking up? I keep the tray on the table, I look at Doubt his face is still a little swollen. The swelling is still clearly visible that my 'Patient' is very handsome. Especially if the wounds on his face are gone.
Astagfirullah Lis!! My fists shook in disbelief at the contents of my head just now. But why did Sandy get in an accident? Is he speeding? Or is he drunk like my late husband?
"A-Airrrh!" His murmur instantly made me gasp.
"Well! why Mas?" I approached in panic.
"Airrr..Thirsty! Airerr!" the door seemed hard to open his mouth.
"Baweeels.." His grunts are upset
"Huh?! why mas?" my voice is a bit higher.it seems like my panic nature is indeed difficult to disappear, I easily scream if the middle riled up. Sandy looked away and stopped her drinking.
"Sorry, I'm panicking too much!" I kept the water back, and switched to mushroom soup and porridge.
"Mas Sandy has to have breakfast first Mas, so the medicine can be drunk." I approached, but he still looked the other way and did not answer me. I breathed deeply. Confused also what to face a sick person like this. Bi Marni said, Mas Sandy was so shocked by the accident that her emotions became unstable after treatment. He even forced her to go home from the Hospital even though the Doctors had banned her.
"If Mas Sandy, don't eat. How can I work Mas?" my lament. Then the young man seemed to raise his right hand and signaled Me to leave.
I looked at him confused.
"Sorry, I'm not leaving until Mas Sandy has breakfast and medicine!" I'm persisting.
BUCKU!
Mas Sandy hit hard Pillow of course with his right hand that is still free. I gasped in shock, I thought that people in such circumstances did not have the energy to just get angry or even hit something. Is he really sick? Or just pretending? again my common sense wonders.
"Or does Sandy need something? go to the toilet for example? can I help you?" I offered myself. For me, there is no feeling uncomfortable when I see people in this helpless state.
Finally Mas Sandy turned around and tried to get up with the rest of the energy from his right hand.He seemed to squeeze the side of the bed as hard as he could, I tried to help and get Kruk.
"Mas sure you can wake up?" much worry.
"I'm not Deformed!" His grunts seemed to dislike if I was worried about his condition.
"This is Mas's Crew," I tried to follow him slowly and didn't question where he was going, because I thought Mood was unstable.
"OPEN UP!" the door was in a rather high voice.I immediately understood when his face was pointing towards the bathroom.
"Okay," I opened the door slowly and waited for Mas Sandy to enter the bathroom.
"Wanna Take a Shower? Or poop?" I looked at him curiously. The young man was seen glancing at me with a sharp gaze as if Annoyed by my question. Although it seemed, there was nothing wrong with my question.at least that was what I caught from his facial expression just now.
"Outrr!" Cynic orders.
I rushed out of the bathroom and waited for him in the chair that was already available near the window.The window of his room had a strategic side so that I could see wide towards the highway that I used to pass. even the roof of the Andi school building can be seen.
UH! I remember Andi, in these hours usually the students will do the refraction by marching in front of the class. I turned back to the bathroom door.Why did Mas Sandy take so long, did she have any trouble? but there's no way he's silent, at least he can yell for help or stomp his crutches if something happens.
BYURPR!
The sound of water spilling. I got up and approached the Bathroom Door.
"Mas, Sandy's fine, right?" ask me while sticking the ear on the outside of the door leaf.
PRAKK!
The next second heard the sound of crutches falling.
"Mas! That's Sandy?!" I tried to call out his name, even though there was no answer from inside.
