"Amuva!" I said while shaking my head because the pants were flat with milk.
It's been two years and six months Aahva's age and I just managed to wean her. She started drinking formula milk from a bottle but every time she was given milk in a bottle, Aahva always purposefully poured it on the floor and ran around laughing as I chased after her. At the door, Aahva met her father who had just returned from the city and brought her his favorite toy car. Aahva seemed happy while singing the song by train even though the way she spoke was still slurred.
"Aahva want to take the train?" ask Arka while pestering Aahva.
"You!" aahva replied excitedly.
"Tomorrow we will go to the house," asked Arka.
This time I jumped in joy. I haven't been home for a long time. Although the mother who visited me more often, but miss the atmosphere of the house and cold nights make me always happy to go home. Mumpung Aahva has been busy playing with Arka, I rushed packing and preparing all our needs. Mbok Welas then helped me as well as clean up the Aahva toy and clean up the milk spill before a colony of ants attacked. I was so enthusiastic that I accidentally kicked Arka's bag until the whole thing scattered out.
I found a diagnosis from the hospital that Arka had Renal Agenesis and this diagnosis came out when Arka was 19 years old. Long time I contemplated this sheet with trembling hands, the name alone sounded unfamiliar, surely this was an unusual pain. For a moment my tears flowed and I tried to wipe them off when I heard Arka and Aahva's laughter approaching me. Immediately I put everything in order and put it back in Arka's bag. Why didn't Arka ever tell me about this? I'm his wife, is he afraid I'll worry about him too much?I wiped my tears and pretended not to know about it.
"Have you finished cleaning up?" ask Arka.
"Well, are you leaving now?" many wonder.
"Tonight we're staying at the apartment so we're leaving closer to the station. I've booked a ticket for tomorrow morning" Arka said
I just nodded and followed Arka to bring the luggage to the car. It turns out Arka came with Aryan, the new driver Pak Surya. Maybe so as not to tire the heroes of the cities-villa-cities so Arka decided to use a driver. We immediately set off and along the way Aahva stuck to Arka until they both fell asleep. I took out my phone and started Googling about Renal Agenesis and it was a congenital kidney disorder that was present from birth. Instantly I felt very hard to breathe and looked at the calm face of the deep Arka while hugging Aahva who looked comfortable. I can't imagine that closed eyes can't be opened forever. What kidney abnormalities does Arka experience? Tears flowed and Arka's eyes opened and looked at me in wonder.
"Yank? What's up?" asked Arka while wiping my tears.
"Let's talk about it in the apartment. Soon we shall come," I asked and answered by a nod of Arka.
"Are you sure you're okay?" I'm full of worry.
"There is no problem, in fact I am still alive today," said Arka very relaxed as if nothing worrying happened.
"Why didn't you ever tell me?" ask again.
"I don't think this is something that will disrupt our relationship" Arka replied again
"Mas sure?" I'm still wondering
"Yes, the important thing is to limit salt intake, reduce high-protein foods, so I prefer to cook by myself" replied Arka.
"What else does it matter?" I'm still investigating
"For body hydration, so I often drink mineral water. No strenuous exercise either," replied Arka while rubbing my head.
"Keep maintaining the proper lifestyle of others, eat nutritious and get enough sleep. So now let's go to sleep" Arka continued, pulling me into the bedroom.
"Who knows about this?" I asked again when we both had collapsed beside Aahva.
"Awan who berganterin I fit diagnosis and Mbok Welas. That's why Mbok Welas never wanted to leave me. Because he thinks I need to be monitored," replied Arka while chuckling.
When all went to sleep I started looking for information about a human living with one kidney and it turned out to be true and rare and all that Arka said was true. I even consulted a doctor online and he thinks it doesn't matter. I breathed a sigh of relief. Arka always has a fever when exhausted and she always refuses to take drugs carelessly. He always tried to live a healthy life, meaning Arka still has the spirit to maintain health. Clouds know Arka until such a secret thing, I feel even more guilty for being the cause of their friendship rift. It seems I have a great responsibility to unite them again. But what should I do and how? The clouds hate us both so much.
