Theatricals
Ep.19 - Thumping My Heart

Okay. Edelweis only had to take care of people who were sick with fever, not have to fight a great battle that could cause bloodshed. But, why the woman behaved as if the thing she had to do was difficult not to play.

Maybe for some people, taking care of a sick person with a fever is easy. However, not for Edelweis who was very layman with it. He never serves, takes care of or any form of devotion to others. It is the people who act the opposite to him.

Edelweis rolled up his sleeves, staring fixedly at the tab before him. “OK, I'm ready to make porridge!” edelweis said he was confident he was encouraging himself.

“First, rice. I have to find rice. But, where?”

One by one the drawers and cabinets in the kitchen he opened, looking for the existence of rice which became the main ingredient to make porridge. As a result, after all the drawer doors and cabinets he opened, he found the existence of the rice.

“Okay, google. How to wash rice clean.”

One by one the articles appear, Edelweis choose the top article. He read carefully the contents of the article, after understanding what it means he immediately executed it. In his life, this was his first time washing rice. Anyway, everything that smelled of work in the kitchen he did was the first time in his life. Not that he meant it, it's just that he was never allowed to touch the kitchen. Abstinence for him to go to the kitchen, that was the rule in his family all along.

“Oke, wash the rice already. Now what.” Edelweis read every order. “Rice cooker! Put the rice into the rice cooker and cook until it becomes dimmer and soft, about half an hour.” Edelweis clucked his waist. “Keep, this how much water?”

Edelweis searched again, finally he was desperate and chose to enter the origin of the amount of water. “Hopefully be the porridge.”

While waiting for the porridge to cook, Edelweis rushed back to Jonathan's room. He checked the man's body temperature using a thermometer. Apparently, still the same, Jonathan's fever is still high.

“Bent a minute, yes, Jo. I again make porridge for you to eat, hopefully so. After that, just take the drug.”

Edelweis glanced at the wall clock, it was already at half one night but the drowsiness he had not felt yet. Luckily, tomorrow is the weekend which means there is no activity for her to go to the office. So, if it's bad luck, no papa. Although Edelweis can actually leave at any time, only he was bored if he heard insinuations from Jonathan when he came late.

A few moments passed. Edelweis stared at the rice cooker before him. A smile immediately printed wide as he opened the thing and the porridge he had made had been cooked.

“Yeah, I'm so smart. Just once made it successful gini.” praise Edelweis on himself. Basically this Edelweis is smart, easy to catch everything quickly, it's just that the background of the family is respected sometimes make everyone underestimate. Many thought he could just be because of family. Logically, people think that money works, but it is not so.

Edelweis immediately took the bowl, moving the porridge from the rice cooker to the bowl. The weakness of Edelweis, he is a person who is too hasty, lack of patience. As a result, the result of his actions was his hand also became a victim. Not that the porridge went perfectly into the bowl, it fell even splattered on his hands.

Edelweis grimaced as the hot porridge hit his hand. Quickly, he ran towards the sink to cool his hands that were hit by the hot pulp. “Yes for mercy..” Edelweis frustrated to see the kitchen that became very messy because of his actions, even though the food he made was just pureed.

Edelweis sighed harshly, he cursed at his own careless self. “Basic, Edel. Work can not be very careful anyway, fall all right.” It is unfortunate that the porridge that Edelweis made spilled all. “It's a good thing that still fell into the bowl, still mending lah.”

Edelweis immediately cleaned the bowl, so it looks good and beautiful to see the porridge is not too much. After that, he immediately cleaned his hands back. Then, rushed to Jonathan's room with the porridge he was carrying.

“Jo, wake up first. You have to take medicine.”

Jonathan blinked his eyes, he vaguely saw someone.

“Build first. Lo eat, yes abis it take medicine.”

Jonathan grimaced as he felt a dizzy feeling in his head, he shook his head slowly while closing his eyes again.

“Can't do that, Jo, should be imposed. You want to take medicine because you have to eat. Let you heal.”

Edelweis immediately fed Jonathan. Although initially there was a rejection, but because of the force of Edelweis finally Jonathan wanted to eat too. Even though only a few bribes enter, but still good enough. At least Jonathan's stomach filled with food before later having to take medicine.

“Drink first.”

Edelweis helps Jonathan to drink, he also helps the man to sit down because he has to take medicine later.

“Nih, the medicine is in drink.”

Edelweis noticed Jonathan taking his medicine. “Udah, you rest again. Sleep, yes.” Edelweis broke Jonathan down, he pulled the blanket over the man's chest.

A smile appeared on his lips when he saw Jonathan who began to sleep, “Capid healed, yes, Jo.”

***

Jonathan blinked his eyes, he frowned deeply as a sense of dizzy reached his head. Opening his eyes slowly, the first thing he saw was the ceiling of his room.

His hand also moved to the head, seeing there was a cloth attached there as well as a bowl of food, a glass filled with water as well as a medium-sized bowl on the nightstand of his room. Did Edelweis take care of her when she was sick? Jonathan wondered. However, the thought was immediately clear because it was impossible if it did happen.

Last night, after coming home from the office he did feel a tremendous sense of dizziness. Yesterday, his body did not feel okay, but his work that he had to handle himself made him forced to force himself. As a result of being too in forsir, his sick body was uprooted during the night after he cleaned himself.

The ringing of Jonathan's cell phone that sounded resuscitated him from the daydream, he immediately took the phone. It turns out that there was a call coming from his mother.

“Halo, Mam.” in a hoarse voice Jonathan answered the call.

“I'm fine kok.”

“Her temperature has gone down?”

“Mama know?”

“Know. Mama called Edel last night if you were sick.”

Hearing his Mama's words made Jonathan think, maybe the one who took care of him last night who was sick was not Edelweis but his Mama. The proof, Edelweis called his mother last night, as proof that the woman could not and could not.

“But, sorry Mama, yes. Mama can't come to your place. Suddenly Papa had a call out of town, as a result of being forced and could not be represented by anyone, Papa you have to leave. And, Mama can't possibly let your Papa go alone, so mama comes along.”

Jonathan frowned, “So, last night that took care of me—”

“Yes, Edel is Jo. Who else. Where may be others.”

“Masa, yes?”

“Jo, don't be you. After all, Mama is tipping you with her and mama is sure she takes care of you. Anyway, you're a freak, Jo. You are husband and wife, Edel will certainly take care of you who in fact her husband. How the hell is.”

“Iya, Mam. But, this is Edel. Where possible.”

“Tck, don't do it. You don't know yet. Oh, yeah, don't forget to say thanks to Edel for taking care of you. Know?”

Jonathan's still not sure if Edel took care of him last night. Must have called someone to come here to take care of her sick.

“Jo, you heard Mama's talk right?”

“Iya, Mam, yes.”

“Yaudah, Mama hang up first. You are healthy, yes. Don't get too in his work force. Okay.”

Jonathan just nodded.

“Yaudah, Mama closed, yes. Bye..”

The call was interrupted, just as Jonathan's bedroom door opened featuring Edelweis coming in with a tray he was carrying.

“Jo, are you awake?”

Jonathan fell silent, looking closely at Edelweis who was getting closer to him.

“Lo still dizzy?” Edelweis put down a tray containing breakfast as well as medicine for Jonathan. “Yaudah, have breakfast first. Abis will take medicine. Here, I have chicken pesenin with clear soup. Pretty good, better than last night's porridge.”

“Btw, mbak who usually does not come today. Dan—”

“Lo who took care of me last night?”

Edelweis was instantly speechless as his words were cut by Jonathan, he cleared his throat. “According to you who?” edelweis asked back, he looked up a haughty face. He needs this confession.

“Can't be lo,”

Edelweis thunched, he folded his arms in front of his chest. “Kok not possible anyway?” irritated Edelweis, he was annoyed by Jonathan's reply.

“Mana to take care of people. Impossible for that to happen.”

“Kok impossible anyway? Yeah, maybe it was. If not me, who else would try? Weird deh lo, ah!” Edelweis let out a rough sigh. “Lagian, I wasn't that happy that time either. There are sick people at home, I'm both here. I can't possibly be that hot. Ah, bummer lo.”

Jonathan remained silent.

“Eat tuh, abis it taken medicine.” Edelweis moved with annoyance, he hurried away. “Males. Well still considered wrong.” grumbled Edelweis while passing away from Jonathan's room.

“Still Del.”

Edelweis stopped his steps. As powerful as he was to feel mediocre, yet still he was flattered beyond measure just because a remark he had never heard before came out of Jonathan's mouth for him, especially with her amazingly beautiful sounding tone.

Oh, whoa. What happened to his heart? Why does it flutter and feel flowery?
