Oh Arunika
Chapter 21
“Where is Juna?” batin Bu Ranti while sweeping the view in all the space that can be reached by her pair of eyeballs. He realized that his son was not with them. “What kid comes home?”
Bu Ranti was upset in her own heart because her son–Arjuna, even disappeared leaving no message on her. Nowadays, this man is still needed. He did not think to bring a wallet or mobile phone because he was too nervous to face the precarious situation earlier.
A moment later the view of Bu Ranti turned to Arunika who was now sitting stuck not far from where she was sitting. The girl was dumbstruck, covering her face with her hands.
Miss Ranti is unlikely to leave Arunika alone to go home, take the wallet with a bad situation so.
The woman wearing the blue dongker nightgown approached Aru, rubbing her head, “Aru, do not cry continuously. We have to think positively that Bu Nita will be fine, ‘ya.”
It's not just the condition of Mom that Aru is worried about right now. But the cost of treatment Aru estimated was not small, adding to the burden on his mind as well as on the heart.
Not less tightness in the chest because thinking about the problems that occurred, the door of the room that Aru had been waiting for was now open. The poor girl who was orphaned wiped her tears and stood up, approaching the man in white who could be predicted was the doctor who handled Mother.
“How's My Mom, Doc? Mom is fine, ‘kan, Doc?” scowled with a hopeful look.
The doctor momentarily looked at Aru's face whose eyeballs barely looked so crooked. He looked like it was hard to say something, because he saw his patient's family so badly.
“Doctor?”
The doctor tagged Anwar was breathing heavily. “After a series of examinations, according to our estimation, Ms. Nita has wet lungs and a leaky heart. Looks like Nita's mother has been sick for a long time. Has he ever taken medication before?”
“A-what?” Aru's body staggered backwards hearing news that was like a lightning strike in his ear. Fortunately, Bu Ranti was quick to support, so that his body did not really land on the floor.
“Bu Nita has the disease, Doc?” Just like Aru, Bu Ranti also gasped with the doctor's statement.
“It's still a temporary diagnosis of us, ma'am. Bu Nita should do Radiology examination to confirm the disease. Did you finish your administration?”
“It's better as soon as possible, yes, Mom. So that Ibu Nita immediately get further handling.”
The doctor, whose hair was still neat, passed after previously saying goodbye from the presence of two other women of the generation.
Arunika's cry again sounded in the hearing, firmer than before. “Ibuuuu...”.
“Quiet, Aru. Your mother will definitely recover.” Bu Ranti calmed down while carrying Aru's tiny body in her arms.
“How will I pay for Mother's treatment, Mom? We don't have a penny, huuu.”
“About the cost, you don't have to worry, ‘ya. I will help as much as I can.”
Hearing him, Arunika tightened her arms on the angel-hearted woman's back. There has been so much kindness given to his family, especially the material. I don't know what way he'll pay for it.
“Bu.”
When they heard the voice of the man they knew so well, Ms. Ranti broke their embrace. Likewise, Aru immediately wiped out tears that were like springs, dripping endless.
“Where have you been? You can leave without telling Mom! ” Bu Ranti scolded her son ferociously. Wanting to scour her with more rage, but the ban was done because her son was not alone. The man came with his wife.
Ms. Ranti scanned the appearance of her son and daughter-in-law. They have changed clothes and perfumed. And. Their hair looks wet.
Bu Ranti exhaled her breath that just a moment ago stifled her chest. “Mothers need to go home to take ka–”
“This, Mom,” cut Juna while handing over his mother's handbag that he had been holding. “Inside there is already a device and also a wallet Mother.”
