With a confused and also broken feeling, I continued walking with a blank look. How not, all this time the person who is closest to me, the person who loves me the most turns out to be very sick. I don't even know how long he's been able to survive, with his illness.
"Mother, why have you been hiding your pain all this time to me mom!" Ask me in silence, I don't know what to say. What is clear is that at this time I was really confused, because I had to have 200 million rupiah money so that my mother could be operated.
Flashback.
"Do your best for my mother, doc" I asked with tears of compassion.
"But, for the cost of your mother's surgery in the hospital is not cheap. I'm worried if you can't afford it!" The doctor's light, while propping up his chin.
"How much, how much does my mom need doc?" I asked the doctor in front of me impatiently.
"About 200 million. And that does not include room rental, also post-operative drugs your mother later," replied the doctor while checking my mother's data.
"What doc, 200 million?" Scream me while keeping my mouth shut.
"Yes. And the money should be there by tomorrow afternoon, so that your mother can be operated immediately. Because if you don't get action right away, I'm worried that your mother's life won't be helped," I can only sigh heavily. When the doctor explained the details of my mother's hospital expenses entirely, the article was from where I could get that much money within a 10-hour period.
Flashback.
"Argh, where can I get that kind of money now. Let alone 200 million, a million I don't have," I murmured as I ruffled my hair. As I was busy with my thoughts suddenly from across the street came someone calling my name. It turned out to be Andre, my ex-boyfriend when I was in 6th grade elementary school.
"Melinda?" Strangled someone from across the street where I was standing.
"Andre," I frowned slightly.
"Meli, wait for me there!" Andre immediately ran up to me with a sweet smile.
"Andre, what are you doing here? Didn't you go out of the country!" Ask me a little lazily, not unhappy to see him again. But, because my hatred for her overcame the longing in my heart.
"Meli, I missed you?" Squeak Andre while hugging my body.
"Andre, let's not go like this?" I said while pushing Andre's body that was hugging me.
"Why Mel? Let me hold you, I really miss you," he hugged her.
"Stop Andre, please let me go. Don't make me angry" I asked for a second time.
"OK, okay. I'm sorry, Oia, what are you doing running around here at night?" Ask Andre to me.
"I, I, I'm just looking for the wind. Dan, and what are you doing here! Aren't you abroad?" Tukas Ku diverted the conversation.
"I miss you, that's why I'm back" teased Andre as he pinched my nose. I don't know why there's such a sweet feeling when I hear it.
"Omong empty, won't you come back before your parents succeed" I quipped as I folded both hands.
"That's it, how about we just talk over there and have a cup of coffee!" Show Andre to one of the cafes across the street.
"But, me!" Before I refused, Andre had already clasped my hand.
"Oia, you haven't answered my question just now, what are the wandering nights doing!" Ask Andre back.
"Didn't I answer that earlier, I'm here looking for the wind" I replied a little sniffly.
"Are you sure!" Another imbibing.
"of course. And if nothing matters, I go first" I murmured as I pulled the chair.
"All right, I believe. But can you look at me?" Pinta Andre, holding my hand.
"No way," I refused, turning my face away.
"That means you're lying. I know you not a day or two Mel, even from the look on your face already seen if you're confused!" Again I can not say anything, the article since long ago Andre always could guess.
"Omong is empty" I told Andre.
"Tell me, may I help you?" Bargain Andre while embracing my body.
"Hiks, hyx, hyx. Andre's mom, my mom's Andre's my mom!" My tears broke as the warm, sturdy shoulders that once disappeared can now feel the warmth again.
"What's wrong with Aunt Irma, Mel? He's fine!" Ask Andre at once.
"My mother, she's sick. And tomorrow he has to be in Drew's surgery, I'm confused as to how! Hiks,, hiks, hiks," I shrieked as I sobbed.
"At first aunt Irma is sick what is Mel?" again, while holding my body back.
"My mom has Drew's end-stage chronic breast cancer, and the doctor's only given me until tomorrow afternoon. I don't know what to do now, only he I have in this world, I can't afford to lose him." Show me a hug, Andre.
"How much does it cost to operate Aunt Irma, Mel?" I'm ashamed to say this to Andre. But, for my mother's safety, I'm willing.
"Two, 200 million Drew. I, I don't know where to make that kind of money, which I obviously would do anything to get that money," I replied slightly trembling.
"Are you sure, Mel? I mean in this day and age where you can probably get that kind of money in an instant. If not you sell-" Andre deliberately paused his words, lest I be offended. Instead I'm getting curious as to what kind of job can make that kind of money in an instant.
"Sell what, Drew? Tell me, whatever I'm gonna do for my mom's safety." Ask me a little impatiently.
"There's only one job that's so easy to get that money in an instant. It's just that I'm not sincere if you enter that world" Andre explained, staring at my face.
"I don't care how bad and dirty the job is, Drew. What is clear is that I need it most" my resolve grew more and more unanimous, and I firmly believed that I was capable of it.
"Well tomorrow afternoon come to this address at 10:45. Wear neat and sexy clothes, don't be late, I'm waiting for you there" said Andre, while giving a piece of paper to me. But, that makes me wonder why I should wear sexy clothes. Or maybe?
"Drew, what is this sort of," I muttered as I looked at Andre's face, which looked guilty.
"Yes Mel, that's the only way there is. I would love to help you but, I don't have that much money Mel, either" Andre said. I understand Andre's intentions, but should I do it!
"I understand Drew, thank you for helping me. Wait for me there, Drew, I'll come, "a smile on Andre's lips, forming a beautiful crescent. Actually I'm not willing to do this, but for my mother's safety I don't want to do it.
