Leptospirosis

Moderate to heavy capacity rain is still flushing the Jakarta area and almost in large parts of Indonesia. Residents' settlements from simple to elite areas flooded. Activities of offices, schools, factories, and others are closed. Power outages in most areas, which must be inundated areas. In an instant the capital was declared paralyzed.

At the hospital, Atma looks very tired. Patients are arriving more and more and then meet the emergency department and lobby that has been transformed into part of the emergency unit. The medical staff are quick to help the patients.

Today all schedules must be cancelled. News in the online media and dominant television reported the flood problem that hit my city. The rain that fell did not stop since yesterday afternoon, making the housing complex where I live, also did not escape the flood. Fortunately, only a complex street that flooded.

Today I promise to meet Atma's parents. But it is likely to be pushed back, because the current conditions are very unlikely. Plus Atma hasn't told me about her work, whether she's eaten or not, and all the things I think about her, make me very anxious.

I sent hundreds of messages. But there's no answer. My call was not answered either. I know Atma's busy. And must be very busy. Last time he told me, he was assigned to a flood patient at the hospital where he worked. Is it possible that the casualties due to this flood are very much? So that Atma can't tell me. I guessed - guessed for myself the answer to my question.

I saw that Yuli was cleaning my bedroom and my dress room.

"Mba, make me pasta dong" I whined at him.

Mba Yuli approached me.

"The spaghetti is out. But yesterday I made pempek, would I not fry ? ask mba Yuli.

I'm nodding.

"What do you want to drink? let me make "ask Mba Yuli later.

"What the hell" answered me who was still sleeping on my bed.

Mba Yuli then walked out of my room.

Today, my family is complete. Papah and Mamah did not go to the office . Rico and Vika also did not leave for campus. I myself am not going anywhere. We were all forced to take a holiday because of the flood. But not with my boyfriend, when all the holidays, he was very busy. I miss him back.

the door was knocked and Rico entered my unlocked room.

"Why are you brother?" asked Rico when he approached me.

I just shook my head. Because I'm not doing anything other than waiting for my girlfriend's news.

Rico fell asleep in my bed.

"I'm a bosen sis, at home all day" he lamented.

"What kind of teacher does Anita have?" godaku's.

"Yes that too brother" Rico laughed at his own words. I also laughed at my sister's behavior.

Rico fell silent, then began to speak seriously. "I heard that brother and sister Atma have met mamah and papah huh?" ask Rico.

I can only smile to answer Rico's question.

"Silvery unhappy?" ask Rico then.

I smiled back and nodded.

"I'm happy if brother is happy. I saw Atma's sister was a good man. And I'm sure Atma's feet will always make you happy" Rico said.

"Easy - hopefully deck" I answered briefly.

We then just fell silent and dissolved in each other's minds.

"Main game yuk kak" asked Rico disperse my daydream.

"Come" replied the spirit.

Mba Yuli arrived - arrived in my room with a tray containing pempek and several cans of softfrink drinks.

"Wah asik nie" Rico excited then took 1 bowl of pempek.

"Good fun, easy - good fun yes neng" mba Yuli smiled and then left my room.

"Thank you mba" I said.

From the appearance alone, this pempek already looks good. The cuisine of Mba Yuli is always in accordance with our tongue.

No need to linger - long, the bowl in the hands of Rico was immediately empty.

"Well, hungry what do you do deck?" ledek.

"Two - two brother" replied Rico and sipped a soft drink.

I laughed at Rico's behavior.

Rain continues to fall with medium to large capacity. Water flow occurs where - where. Garbage can also aggravate this flood disaster. Plus with an absorption system that doesn't work properly.

Many victims have fallen. Many are lost in the water currents. Many are also injured - wounds.

Not a few who are hungry, because trapped can not go anywhere. Evacuation teams continued to walk through the settlement whose puddles were very high. Evacuate the trapped survivors and must get immediate medical assistance. The team also evacuated residents to be moved to tents - refugee camps.

At night the sound of crying children - toddlers sound very heart-wrenching. The coldness they felt from sleeping was simply layered on a mattress. Not to mention hunger, because the food available can not relieve it. MCK facilities are also very difficult. Need a long line to be able to just urinate. In an instant this disaster destroyed everything.

I need a break even if it's only 10 minutes. I told that to the nurse Goddess.

I enter a room that is also my personal work space. I opened the desk drawer, and grabbed the phone I had left there for a long time. As expected, missed messages and calls have filled my phone screen.

"Hallo baby" I heard my girl's voice when my phone call was answered.

"Hallo dear, sorry yes I just can ngabarin you" I said softly.

"Yes dear. You're good, aren't you? have you eaten yet? I heard anxiety in his tone.

"I'm good - my dear. I ate earlier. You take care of your health too, baby." I tried to convince Lia that I was okay.

Long enough we talked, until my tiredness no longer felt. He's my encouragement. My heart's lover.

After that, I went back to the Emergency Unit. Before long I came, suddenly the atmosphere became hysterical. A female toddler I estimated to be about 2 years old was in a mother's arms. He's not moving. My mother kept screaming for us. By reflex I and a few nurses approached him. I'll check his pulse immediately. Thank goodness it still exists, albeit very weakly. Oxygen and infusion are given immediately. His body temperature is quite high, 39 degrees Celsius.

This girl is so beautiful. I haven't been able to ask why this kid got this way. His pulse and breathing were still very weak.

"This is her son why is this mom?" I finally tried asking.

"I don't know doc. This child arrived - arrived hot, convulsed, vomited and then fainted" explained the mother.

"What's her name ma'am?" ask one of the nurses.

"Adinda meswari sus" replied the mother.

The nurse then records her name for administrative needs.

"Did he play floodwaters - flooded ma'am?" ask me curious.

"Yes doc, she often plays in the flood with her brother. But just in front of the dock house" the mother again explained.

I was so worried. My temporary diagnosis, this kid has leptospirosis.
