I put my swollen feet away. On the terrace table of the house I found a paper bag symbolizing a bakery that my mother-in-law subscribed to.
I took the paper bag. I saw the contents. It looks intact.
Was my mother-in-law here? Home is key. Even though there are no more valuables in the house, I am still worried about the occurrence of the theft.
I'm afraid that later the thief who found nothing else, hurt the Arka mas.
Maybe if I don't get the wrong ride, I'll meet my mother-in-law. I'm sure you'll be very worried.
Neither my hapeku nor the hape mas arka is lost. There's nothing to call.
I opened the door of the house with the key I had tucked under the flower pot.
"Assalamualaikum.." I said although no one would answer my greetings. Then I went straight to my room.
I was surprised to see the position of the Arka mas that was already on the floor. How could?
Arka is falling. But if he falls, he moves his body. Because all this time, even though the Arka mas lay on the edge, never fell. Because he can't move. Especially shifting his body. But these?
I approached him directly. I wanted to lift it up, but obviously I wouldn't be strong.
"Mas, are you moving? My...! Answer me! It moves?" I asked while shaking his arm.
I sat on the floor. I lifted her upper body a little. I hugged my husband tightly.
"You move, Mum. You move, Mas. Let's move your body again, Mas!" I said while crying and kept hugging her.
Satisfied crying, I let go of my embrace. I saw Arka's eyes glazed over. She was crying too. He responded again.
"Mas, let's move again. I'll help you!" I shake his hands, his feet again. But everything went back to limp. Powerless. Like no bones.
I put Arka's head on the floor again. I took a pillow to support his head so as not to hurt on the hard floor.
I also look for a thick blanket to drain his body so as not to catch a cold. That's all I can do.
I sat next to him. Because I was so hungry, I ate the bread my mother-in-law gave me.
I wanted to feed Arka's mas. But he can't chew. It's so sorry my husband.
While I was eating well, he had only eaten white porridge. Because the food supply has been exhausted.
I picked up my favorite chocolate sandwich. I opened the middle. I'll get the melted chocolate. I apply it to Arka's tongue. My other hand opened his lips.
I saw his eyes sparkle a little. He enjoyed the chocolate. I repeat it again, though a little hassles and hassles.
During illness, Arka only consumes pureed white porridge, oatmil, or fruit and vegetable juices.
He must be bored. That's why when I put chocolate on his tongue he immediately changed his face.
I thought, maybe I should give other food, even if it should always be pureed.
But where's the money from now? I don't have a penny. There are also no things I can sell.
Could I sell my furniture? But who's going to buy?
All my neighbors in this complex are rich. Their furniture must be more luxurious than mine.
I don't really know them either. And they are rarely at home. There are most servants in their homes.
Ah, I'm dizzy. But I have to think about it. Minimum for daily eating.
It's dark. I left the Arkas. I'm gonna turn on the lights and lock the door. I was so traumatized by last night.
After everything was done, I laid my body down on the living room sofa. I thought, what can I sell tomorrow morning?
I don't feel like I'm asleep anymore. The pain in my feet became more and more. But I try not to feel it. That's why I chose to sleep.
I woke up in the middle of the night. I remembered the Arka mas who was still on the floor of the room. I immediately rushed to my room.
I saw Arka's mas still lying there. But it has shifted a little from its position. He's moving again!
I'm so happy to see it. Although sad because he could not move it to the bed.
I took another thick blanket from my closet. I made my bed. Then I lay down next to my husband's body.
I hugged that limp body. Until morning we slept on the floor. I was the one who hugged him.
In the morning when the sunlight barged through my bedroom window, I squinted my eyes. I saw a clock on the wall of my room. It's six in the morning.
I'll stand up. But my body feels stiff. Everyone is sore because sleep is just a blanket.
Slowly I tried to get up. And walk to the bathroom. I'm going to take a shower to refresh my body.
Today I have to earn money to eat both of us. And to buy diapers my husband. Somehow. I don't know what I'm selling.
After the bath, I cleaned Arka's body. Her position lying on the floor, made it easier for me to change her clothes and bedding.
And I can clean the old bedwetting by just mopping the floor. No need to worry about penetrating the mattress that will be wet and the smell that spreads everywhere.
I am not afraid of falling down, either. More free to move.
Let's hope our bodies are strong, don't catch a cold. A little bit sore let it be. Later make a move also cross the pedal.
Finished cleaning Arka's mas, I made a warm tea. I'll feed it to Arka's mas. Hope he likes it. Because all this time the Arka mas only drink milk, juice and water.
She must have missed my sweet tea. Something is different. In addition, the supply of milk and fruit for its juice is also exhausted.
I fed the warm sweet tea slowly to his mouth. And rightly my guess. Arka loved it. His face is back. I kissed his whole face. Happy to see my husband's face no longer withered as usual.
I also applied chocolate jam from the leftover bread yesterday. Arka ate his chocolate, let me eat his bread.
Arka looks very happy. I smiled behind the tears I was holding. Right now I don't want to cry in front of Arka.
I don't want Arka seeing me cry and crying too. Let him be happy. Even if my heart hurts. It was very painful to see my husband's condition not healing.
Very simple happiness. Just a smear of chocolate and a cup of sweet warm tea.
I smiled with satisfaction.
