Mysterious Gus
#80. Learn Again
..."I feel like I'm going back in time. Where I have to go back to learning to move slowly,"...
...Farelle...
...***...
The atmosphere of the once crowded and warm family room turned cold. All this happened because of the arrival of Azam and Haikal. Moreover, Dylan and Nika who usually became diluents have now lifted their legs.
"How are you doing, Gus? Your brother said you were paralyzed?" Abdullah opened his voice, confirming the condition of his eldest grandson.
"Well, just temporarily," replied Farel impressed short and cold.
"After this, what do you want? Like a place to live and everything else?" Ask Xander. They did not discuss about the continuation of Farel or Fisha.
Fisha turned to her husband with a questioning look. He did not know and was just thinking about it.
"I've bought an apartment near the hospital where Nafisha is a koas" Farel replied.
"So will stay in Bandung?" Farel just nodded.
"Why don't you stay with Papa and Mama?" Ask Amar.
"Yes, so later if Fisha koas, there is Mama with Papa who is calm and take care of," Layla added.
"Or, stay in the pesantren?" Tawar Abdullah's.
Farel shook his head, "Farel can be alone," only that answer he gave.
"Karaya? Want to go with Oppa Asz or Dad? Just be with Dad, okay?" Xander asks Karaya with Ley.
Karaya turned her head with a soft look, "I want to be with Oppa. But being with Dad is no problem either. I won't be long because I'm going back to Korea,"
Xander looked at his daughter, "You want to leave Dad?"
Karaya shook her head, "My place is not here,"
"Why say that? Obviously this is your place because Oppa and Dad are here" Ley protested.
"You've been wanting to go to Indonesia for a long time, Karaya. Your dreams have come true over the years and you easily let go just because of that baj*ngan guy!" Tiam said the circus and passed.
"Hey! Where are you going?!" Xander panicked in case the two children had a fight.
"The doctor is already ahead," Tiam replied still by stepping without even looking at it. Somehow, Tiam was a little unwilling that his sister should return to Korea.
"Oppa Tiam is angry with me," Karaya's head bowed sadly.
"He's not angry. He is saddened by your decision to leave him again. If you go back to Korea, he will definitely have to steal time to see you later" Ley told the gloomy beautiful girl.
"That's right, Ley. Why not just stay here? Later Karaya lives with Abah and Umma," Raima exclaimed making Karaya turn with a confused face.
"Change and Umma?" Tonya.
Raima nodded in spirit, "Yes, Karaya will have her friend. Kan, there are Nia, Zira, Lea, Nika, Ikha, Eve and others. There's also a fisha,"
Karaya looked at Nia and Zira in turn. Because of all that Raima mentioned, she only knew Nia, Zira and Phisha.
After a moment, Karaya immediately shook her head, "I don't want Nia and Zira to get hurt if Oppa Asz notices me," Karaya said.
"We don't papa, it's just fun if you want to be with us," said Nia who is possessed by Zira.
"We are brothers. Later Zira will bring Karaya around Jakarta with Bandung, deh," exclaimed Zira happy. Imagining having peers like Karaya would definitely be fun for him.
Karaya turned to Farel for an opinion. He was worried. I refused but was not feeling good. He actually really wants to live in Indonesia with his oppa-oppa and his father.
Farel smiled faintly and nodded, "Oppa will support all your choices,"
Karaya nodded, "I'll think about it again,"
"We wait for the good news" Zira said with her best smile.
"This is the doctor" Tiam came with a male doctor who seemed to be in his 40s.
"Good morning! Introduce, I'm Isar," said the doctor politely.
"Good morning!!"
"He's Farel, who will be on medication with you" Tiam pointed to Farel.
"Well, can I just check?" Doctor Isar approached Farel, while Farel only nodded in response.
Fisha was about to shift so that Isar's doctor could more freely check. But all his movements were read and held by Farel. Her hands were held tightly by her husband.
"Don't go far!" Farel's Word.
"But let the doctor be free,"
Farel drew near to his wife's ear, "You don't want my arms? Not good with Azam?" Farel's whispers with his eyes glanced sharply at Azam who was looking at their interaction.
Fisha's head moved away and stared comically at her husband, "Why the hell, Mas? Jealousy?"
Farel shook his head and changed his sitting position to be upright, "Close," he said, making Fisha laugh.
"Duh, it will be romantic. The real you, Farel, let the doctor see," Lerai Raima strange herself with the behavior of her son.
Doctor Isar chuckled, he had heard the conversation of the new couple as he prepared his doctor's equipment.
"Sometimes," Farel answered briefly.
"What does it hurt like? Pain? Stuffed up?"
"Pain, as drawn opposite,"
"When was the last time you felt pain? Ever count how long the pain lasts?"
"Last night, about 15 to 20 minutes,"
Doctor Isar nodded in understanding and turned to Farel's feet. The doctor crouched down in front of Farel.
Farel's legs slowly moved up and down and then massaged slowly.
"illness?" Farel shakes.
"Other than this, have your legs ever hurt?"
"Since I could walk with a stick. Pain when you wake up and move too often,"
"Sickness is good progress, meaning that slowly your legs can return to feeling,"
"Go to therapy, try to walk to the connecting door of this room," Isar's doctor pointed to the door of the family room that he passed earlier.
Without much protest, Farel immediately stood aided by his wife. Farel stepped slowly with a small ringing from his mouth.
"Anyone willing to welcome there?" Doctor Isar circulated his gaze to all who were there.
"We are, we are his parents" Hutama asked Raima to stand at the door, ready to welcome her son later.
Everyone stood up, curious about Farel's stiff-looking steps. Beside him was a faithful Fisha accompanying and guiding, without knowing there was an unwilling gaze from Azam.
"Farel, Abah same Umma here!" Farel looked up, looking at his brother and umma who were waving there asking to be approached.
Farel's memory swiveled backwards. It seems that now he is back to what he was, when he was still learning to walk in the company of Hutama and Raima.
"Farel, son of Umma! Here, Honey!" Call Raima who made little Farel walk towards her.
"Farel, Abah's most handsome son! Here with Abah! Abah will buy new motors! If you need a real bike," the offer was tempting for little Farel until his steps turned towards the abah.
"Loooh?! How about Abah? Farel don't love Umma anymore?"
Farel looked at the two confusedly and immediately sat down while crying. Little Farel shouted loudly with his body moving in annoyance. He is confused to choose the abah or the umma.
Hutama and Raima chuckled at their son's behavior. Always so, Farel could never choose between his brother or umma.
Hutama and Raima approached each other with their arms outstretched, "Here, same Abah and Umma! We're together" Hutama asked.
Little Farel's cry subsided. He stood up and slowly walked towards his parents. His hands stretched impatiently want to welcome the embrace of his brother and umma.
"Well, Ma!!" Girang Farel hugged them.
Hutama rubbed his dear little Farel hair, "MasyaAllah, Abah's son Umma is very smart," praise Hutama increasingly make little Farel laugh loudly.
"Here, Farel! Scribbles! Abah same Umma wait, nih!" Hutama said excitedly, impatiently his son approached and hugged him.
Farel smiled faintly and stepped faster, but ill-fated, his sturdy body actually fell.
"Bag!!" Fisha helped Farel get back on his feet.
Farel grimaced, his legs ached more, "***," instead of saying, he cursed. His heart was hollow when his steps had to be hampered to reach Hutama and Raima.
"If you are sick and unable, do not be forced! We will try slowly tomorrow" said Isar's doctor.
Farel looked at his sad-looking face and umma. Really, Farel hated the look of that face if it was imprinted on the face of his dearest person, moreover that person was his brother and ummanya.
"I can!" Again, Farel walked slowly and sometimes faster.
Maybe it was just from the sofa to the door, but really, the distance between the sofa and the door was quite far. Make Farel have to be a little harder to step up.
Farel smiled widely, with great difficulty, finally he could stand right in front of Hutama and Raima. The three people immediately embraced.
Hutama smiled proudly with reddened eyes, while Raima had been crying since Farel's step was five steps away. Seeing Farel's hard struggle towards them, of course it was a moving thing.
"Well, Ma!!" Whisper Farel.
"Farel is learning the way again" he continued.
Raima nodded as she rubbed Farel's sweaty-looking face, "Son Abah and Umma are great!" Praise Raima.
"What does Abah want? Later Abah love because Abah's son is really sintered," Hutama rubbed random dense hair Farel.
"New motor," asked Farel with a ruckus and re-hugged his parents.
Hutama and Raima also chuckled, "Yes, Abah buyin later. Later we will travel around Jakarta with Bandung,"
Seeing the interaction of the parent and the child, made everything moved. This is the kind of warmth they so desperately long for. Farel, their warmers have returned.
"Thanks God!"
