CARRIER (When Destiny Reigns )
season 2 chapter 9
I just wanted to enjoy my normal life. Once again it was met with a bad fate. I am starting to get sick often. In fact, even just coughing I can suffer for months.
At first I felt this was normal, because Ari and I both had coughs. We also took medication in the same place. Our personal doctor, the medicine that the doctor used to prescribe to me seemed to be ineffective. Even my cough is getting worse.
This led to the prejudice that I was not coughing normally, but that there was another virus. The virus that gnawed at my lungs. The doctor suggested that I be ready for X-ray. With great concern, Mother, I am finally ready.
But what's going on? My lungs look so healthy. My doctor was silent. He seemed confused by my body.
“Ndrea, we should try to consult another doctor only. Mother is afraid, if left too long. Right now your body is so thin, son!”
“Iya, Brother. Usually the healthiest brother, while I'm the sick man. Come on, sister, we try to check with another doctor.”
“Alright! I don't also don't want Dad to be worried after seeing my current physique.”
We decided to go all three. We don't want the workers at home to know about this, we don't want this news to be heard in Dad's ear.
“How is the Doctor, my son?”
“Seeing the results and examination in person, my conclusion is exactly the same as your personal Doctor. Only, if it is true that your child has been suffering from this cough for more than a month, it is not a natural thing. I suggest that your child be drawn blood, to be checked into the laboratory.”
“How's Ndre?”
“Kakak provides?”
“Alright, if it's the best.”
All the way to Andrea's house just kept coughing.
Uhuk !!
Uhuk !!
Uhuk !!
“Andrea, are you okay Nak?”
Andrea just kept coughing. He can't hold it. Even he had difficulty breathing because of the non-stop coughing. Until finally Ari decided to marginalize his car and turn on the lights.
“Bun, cough Brother bleed!”
“Ndrea, do we have to go back to the hospital?”
Andrea shook her head. With the rest of his strength he said, “just go home, I want to rest.”
Ari immediately focused on the wheel, started the car engine and walked towards the house.
That night Andrea decided to just rest. He laid down his body that was getting weaker and fleshy. Resi also enveloped the small body that looked cold. Resi gently stroked Andrea's hair, her breath looking tight. His eyes were so sunken with a dark circle at the bottom. Her cheek jaws were so raised, very quickly the cough took Andrea's gallant body.
Ari sat down next to Andrea, kneeling Andrea's body. Well, Andrea felt a pain in almost all the joints of his body. Ari also decided to sleep with Andrea this month. Ari was afraid that, if night came, something happened to Andrea and no one heard about it. Ari becomes the sister ready to standby for Andrea.
The night is getting late. Andrea's complaints so far that she could not sleep at night due to a relentless cough, made the doctor prescribe sleeping pills. Well, that's right. After eating a few mouthfuls of rice, he took the medicine given to him. It didn't take long, Andrea fell asleep.
Exhausted, she chooses to sleep on the sofa in Andrea's room.
“Bun, Mommy should go back to the room. Mother also needs rest.”
“No, Son! Mother also wants to take care of your sister. Mother may be increasingly unable to sleep, if it is in the room Mother.”
“Alright, Bun. But, whenever you want to go back to the room, please. Let Ari take care of Brother here.”
“Iya, Son. Thank you dear.”
Ari seemed unable to sleep, as she saw the Big Brother sleeping with a movement of uneasiness. Repeatedly he glanced at his brother. His brother looked so sound, but many times moved as if afraid and tight. That's what makes Ari sleepy.
Until right in the middle of the night, Ari began to sleepy. Even the phone that was in his hand had involuntarily fallen right beside him. Andrea screamed for her mother.
“Mother ...”
“Mother ...”
“Mother ...”
Resi who slept soundly due to fatigue was also surprised to hear Andrea's delirium. He got up and walked over to her. Resi clasped Andrea's hand and said, “ Mother is here, Ndre. You do not fear.”
Resi's words managed to calm Andrea down. Slowly the frightened frown on Andrea's face disappeared, followed by a steady roar of breath. Then Resi and Ari also wipe the sweat on Andrea's body. Then again enveloped Andrea's body with a thinner blanket. Because the cold temperature on the sole of Andrea's foot had disappeared, it changed its normal temperature.
The heavy sleepiness that Ari felt made him fall asleep in bed with Andrea. While Resi sleeps with his arms clasped hands with Andrea's fingers. Such was their affection and struggle in accompanying Andrea.
The sun came to say hello. Andrea awakens as a sparkle of light manages to enter her room through a ventilation hole. Waking up with a body bathed in sweat. The right arm in Resi's hand and the left arm in contact with Ari's head. Andrea was shocked by the circumstances that were seen. The look on Andrea's face was sad because she was with people who loved her.
For a while, Andrea let Resi and Ari sleep soundly.
“I'm sure they couldn't sleep last night. Maybe I was delirious, until they slept in this state!”
The pain in the arm that Resi used as a pillow, made Resi wake up. The eyes that were so heavy due to disturbed sleep made his gaze blurry. Until finally the eye again saw correctly that he saw the figure of Andrea who was smiling.
“Morning, Bun ..”
“Ndre, have you done it?”
“It looks like so. Sleep well tonight, make my body fresher.”
“Ya Lord ..., why does Arya sleep in such a position?”
Rishi is shocked to see Ari's sleeping style. He fell asleep curled up like a shrimp, with his hands holding Andrea's arms.
“Let's just, Bun. Maybe he held back sleepiness all night.”
Rishi just smiled. He also rose to the room. As usual, he had to prepare breakfast for his two beloved sons.
“Ri .., it's time you woke up. Is it time for lunch?”
Hearing Andrea's words, Ari got up instantly, sat down and was busy touching her phone with her eyes closed.
“Ri, what are you doing? This isn't your room?”
This time Andrea's words managed to open Ari's eyes. He looked at himself lying right next to Andrea.
“Kak?”
“You forgot? Last night you slept here with Mommy to accompany me.”
“Ya Lord ..., which phone is my phone? Reveal Ari while covering her face with both palms.
“I don't know where you put it last night?”
Ari was silent, trying to remember. But the difficulty of remembering last night made him fall like a fool.
“Hei! Did you fall asleep with your eyes open?”
“Hah! It's good, brother. Oh yeah, I slept last night on the purple sofa.”
Ari immediately got out of Andrea's bed and ran towards the sofa. He was surprised to see his phone.
Shit !!!
“Hour time turns out, I have to go to campus immediately Kak.”
“Alright, be careful on the road.”
Ari left Andrea who was still sitting on the bed. However, not far away from the door of Andrea's room he returned again.
“How is Brother doing?” I asked while crying.
“It's fresh. Quickly leave now if you don't want to be late to campus.”
“Thank God, Brother.”
Ari runs out of the room leaving Andrea. This time, no more.
