Love In The Dream Realm
Chapter.48

Until the afternoon before Citra still keep her mother in the hospital alone. He did not see his father coming to see his wife.

"Bun, how could you not come for a moment to see the situation, Mother? even keep aunt Mila continues, Mother is also his wife," complained Citra who was upset with his father's attitude.

"Maybe Mila's condition is still weak after giving birth. She must be troubled to adapt to the baby who may not be good at breastfeeding," said the mother.

"What used to be during Mother's illness is also like this? Alone with no one to look after in the hospital?" ask Citra.

"Yes that's it. Mommy is used to being in the hospital alone, Citra. occasionally your father came but not long Mila has called him and asked him to come back. After all, Mother will not be in the hospital for long. Usually, two days only Mother has been allowed to go home because Mother's condition is said to be fine," said mother while turning her eyes forward. It is clear if the mother is actually tired of her condition.

"If Citra finds out early, Citra won't let that happen. How could that be? you should be fair to Mother too!" The image is getting upset.

Tok to tok.

A nurse and a doctor came to visit.

"Good afternoon, Mrs Ratih. I'll check first, okay?" said a doctor.

"Okay, ma'am," replied the mother.

The doctor then conducted an examination on the mother.

"Okay, everything's great. Do not forget to take the medicine to heal quickly yes, Mom," said the doctor after checking the condition of the mother.

"Doctor wait a minute, what happened to my Mother? Mother said if she had to go back to the hospital because her stomach hurt. What exactly is Mother sick?" ask Citra.

"Oh, Bu Ratih's stomach acid rises, that's what makes Bu Ratih's stomach hurt. Don't mind too much and keep your pattern up, Mom. I'm sorry for having to check on the other patients" the doctor said.

"Good, Doc. Thank you!" reply Ratih.

Citra was not satisfied with the doctor's answer, but she also did not know what to do.

Drrttt drrrttt.

The image immediately looked at the screen of his phone. There was an incoming call from Dinara.

"Hello, Assalamu'alaikum, Ma'am," Citra replied as she picked up her phone.

"Wa'alaikumsalam, where are you, Cit?" ask Dinara.

"I'm in the hospital, Ma'am. My mother is sick" Citra said.

"What hospital?" ask Dinara.

"At the hospital Kasih Ibu, Ma'am."

"Well, then Ma'am go there to visit your mother, huh? send me the name of your Mother's place in the care!"

"Good Ma'am, but what no trouble."

"Of course, no. Have you taken good care of your mother? Closing first. Assalamu'alaikum."

"Wa'alaikumsalam." Phone's on the lid.

After calling Citra again put the phone in her pants pocket.

"Who, Cit?" ask mother.

"Friends Citra who live in the hostel, Bun. Surely he was worried when Citra was not sitting in his boarding room," Citra said.

"Thank God that you live in this city alone, but you have many good friends with you. Mother always felt guilty for letting you stay here alone."

"From now on Mother must stay with Citra, let only father the same woman. After all, I don't care anymore about the state of Mother. The image that will always take care of you."

"Yes, dear," said the mother, gently stroking her daughter's head.

After performing the maghrib prayer at the hospital musala Citra prankster peeked towards Mila's room. But that made him even more upset. I think he wanted to hit his father. But he undoes his intentions when he feels someone pulling the end of his hair.

However, there was no one around him. Suddenly the image felt a wind blowing behind his nape which instantly made his hair bristling.

Suddenly seen from the front Bima was running towards him.

"That's right, Bima. why would he run around like that?" The image looked at him in wonder.

Bima stopped right in front of Citra. Suddenly he leaned his body forward making the image reflex dodge to the side. However, Citra could still feel if Bima was touching her head back, like rubbing her hair slowly.

"Eh, you-," Citra has not had time to continue her hand speech has been pulled Bima away.

After walking some distance Bima just released the hand of Citra.

"Why are you tugging at my hand, Bim?" ask Citra upset.

"Bak Nara is waiting for you in your mother's room. You are even bengong there! how about kesambet? next time don't stand there again!" bima said with a nagging tone.

"Ih, what's the tambet? put on my hair all over again!"

Suddenly Bima stopped walking and stared intently at Citra. The image immediately stopped and asked, "What?"

"Don't Ge-Er. I no longer have a crush on you!" he said then back to walk leaving Citra behind.

"Cowok freak!" muttered Citra then followed Bima by walking slowly behind her.

Unbeknownst to Citra, Bima actually saw Citra about to be disturbed by a black figure that she saw the other day in the nursery. Bima intends to avoid it.

......................

Arriving in the mother's room, Dinara looks quite familiar talking with mother. The image approached him.

"Sir, thank you for coming, Mother!" citra said while smiling happily.

"Together, Cit. Here, I bring you some food. You haven't eaten, have you?" ask Dinara.

The image fell silent looking at the rice box that Dinara had brought. He hasn't eaten since noon either. He only ate this morning breakfast with Dinara at the kost.

"Astaghfirullah, Citra. Mommy forgot us since noon didn't look out to eat, did she?" peekkik mother who immediately panic.

"It's okay, Bun. The image was still full this afternoon," Citra said lying. Indeed, the problem he was facing that made Citra feel not tasteful to eat.

"I guessed it! If you don't eat regularly, what if you get sick? Who will take care of you if you are sick?" dinara nagged.

"Yes Ma'am, later Citra eat," replied Citra.

"When later? Now!" force Dinara.

"Thank you, son. It has become a good friend for Citra," said the mother.

"Together, Aunt. Aunty related that it was night I had to leave because I had to complete my final task. Excuse me, Auntie. May Auntie get well soon!" dinara.

"Thank you for coming to see me, son!" Said mother.

"Together, Aunt. Assalamu'alaikum."

"Wa'alaikumsalam."

Citra then stood up to take Dinara and Bima out.

"Cit, come with us for a second!" bima said.

"Where?" ask Citra confused.

"There's something I want to say about your mother!" bima Sayung.

The image says goodbye to the mother to take them to the front. After that Citra and Dinara followed where Bima went.
