POCKET-WEAR

"You have a problem Nin?” probing Agis glanced at Ninu who was lying beside him.

“I want to tell Gis, do you want to hear it?” asked Ninu hesitatingly.

“Nin, I already consider you brother, if indeed you have a story problem. Hopefully I can help, even if I can't help at least by telling you your burden is reduced, and I'm ready to listen to” Agis voice gently calms Ninu's worried heart.

Ninu tells Agis the beginning of his introduction to Ira and how Ira persuaded him to take the medicine he gave, which eventually made Ninu addicted. And worse, then Ninu had to buy it at a very expensive price.

Agis who listened to Ninu's story was very angry, many times he cursed Ira even though he had not met.

“According to me you should consult a doctor Nin” advice Agis, “Maybe the doctor knows what medicine it is and can give the antidote so that you are not addicted again”

“You think so?” ninu Gumam.

“If you don't go to the doctor, will you endure the pain continuously? You said you couldn't hold it”

Ninu was silent for a moment.

“Let me take you” said Agis again.

“Yeah you want to take me to doctor” voice Ninu happy, “I'm afraid if I have to go alone. I also don't know how to explain it”

“Iya I'll drop off. What day are you off?” ask Agis.

“Thursday I'm off to the store” replied Ninu.

“Good. Later Thursday I work permit half day” replied Agis. “Now sleep is at night. Tomorrow we have to work kan”

Ninu nodded and tried to close his eyes. Her heart was happy that Agis was willing to take her to the doctor. May he put an end to the suffering his neighbor has caused.

It's Wednesday and Ninu is already agitated. He had actually felt the pain of relapse since last night but he had ignored it. I have to be strong he thought, anyway tomorrow he and Agis will go to the doctor, hold a day for sure can. It continued to be what he said in his heart when the dizziness and nausea began to attack him.

This morning she was working in the store, feeling lethargic and uncomfortable, she stood up to welcome the arriving consumers, serving them with a forced friendly attitude.

“Mona, I want to go back” Ninu whispered to his friend and then moved back without waiting for a response.

He headed for the kitchen in the break room. Sitting crouching while closing your eyes, resisting the dizziness and nausea that is being felt. Biting his lower lip while continuing to pray strengthening his heart I must be strong I must be strong, it continues that whispered in the heart.

“Ninu you again what's there?” the voice of his friend greeted.

Ninu did not reply, he was still silent.

“You're sick huh?” ask again.

Ninu shook his head. There was a hand that touched his arm.

“Eh.your body is hot. Come to the break room” took her while holding Ninu's hand and trying to lead her.

“I'm fine Ton” said Ninu slowly.

“No matter what, look at your face pale so, your body hot” exclaimed Tono, “Ayo” invite him again force.

Ninu.

“Sit there, I get you drinking water” Tono said again.

Before long she returned with a glass of warm water and gave it to Ninu. Then he went out and came back together with Mona.

“What pain do you have Nin?” mona asked and sat down next to her. The store is not too crowded.

“No tau” said Ninu while shaking his head slowly, and because he could not stand it then he dropped himself while holding his stomach to hold the nausea

“Yes my goodness you're pale. I make sweet tea ya” Mona go to the kitchen and immediately return to bring a glass of warm sweet tea, “Let's drink this first” Mona's hand kneeled Ninu's arm “You take a break, I'll tell Sandra that you're sick”

Ninu nodded his head. Tono and Mona returned to their positions while Ninu was still lying on a chair in the dugout.

He was agitated, his eyes closed but his body could not calm down. His hands and lips began to tremble. He really could not resist the feeling that was now suffering him. And finally she screamed

Meanwhile, in the village, it has been several days of declining maternal health. Not good to eat and not sleep well. His heart and mind were always reminded of his son who was struggling to make a living in the city. I don't know what's going on with her, mom's heart is so agitated.

Since Ninu's departure to the city, their lives have gradually changed for the better. It was never again empty without rice in it. They never again wait for gifts from Tati's sister-in-law or even from neighbors. Although still simple but they can meet their own needs without waiting and hoping for help from others.

Ninu can also meet the needs of his sister's school. Now Ima no longer need to wear shoes to school, although the shoes are not expensive but very worthy to wear. Uniforms, books, and other needs can be met well. Great hope mom Ima can realize her goals later.

Mother's health has also been much better since Ninu worked in the city. You can cook yellow and fried rice every morning to sell in front of the house. Fortunately they have good neighbors who always help with how to buy mother's merchandise. The result was quite good to help ease the burden Ninu worked.

But it's been almost a week that I don't sell. The body is back as weak as it used to be, easy cape. And if it has cape his breath will be tight, his heart will pound to cause pain in his chest. I don't know why Mom doesn't know either. But his heart and mind were always reminded of Ninu.

Is this about Ninu?

Is she missing her first child?

Or the first child who is missing the same mother?

Is there something that happened to Ninu that you don't know?

Oh my God, keep my son there.

“Mother...” Call Ima to the mother who is lying on her bed.

“Mother eat yes, Ima has made porridge” he continued.

Mom turns her head while smiling “You're not ready for Ima?” school

“Before mom, Ima new settled masakin porridge for ibu” java Ima smile.

“Come bu eat first” his hands embrace mom and help her sit leaning on the back of the bed.

“Your sister called Ma?” ask mother.

Ima shook her head “No bu” she replied slowly.

“Why have you been a few days your brother no contact us?” mother's voice is like laughing “What he hurts” he continued.

“Maybe Ninu tea busy mom, will soon want the fasting month, people must be a lot of shopping to the store” replied Ima trying to calm the heart of mother

“Mothers miss the same?” continued Ima while feeding the mother.

“Bu, teteh must also miss us, but there is no time. So I'm patient ya”

“Wouldn't you call your sister first Ma?” mother's advice.

“Ima is afraid to disturb bu” Ima replied.

Mom fell silent.

“If Ninu tea is free it will definitely call us bu” said Ima, “Important mother should be healthy, should not be sick. If Ninu tea tau mother is sick, Ninu tea must be anxious, continue if Ninu tea becomes sick because of the mother's mind how, kasian kasian kan bu”

Mom is still quiet.

“Mom should be healthy let Ninu tea quiet work”

Mom looks at Ima then nods “You are exactly like your sister Ima” hands mother rubs the head Ima “Thankful mom has good and patient kids like you” teary mother eyes.

“Who used to dong his mother..” Ima grinned.

She smiled, her heart slightly comforted. Mother justifies what Ima says. He had to be healthy for Ninu to calmly work. I must be healthy and must be strong, inner mother.
