Although I responded so casually and a little jokingly to him, but the look on the Joints doctor's face only got more serious and I did not understand how I should respond to him now.
"Ee..ee.ehh, doctor why is it so serious like that, I'm just kidding, now I feel awkward and uncomfortable getting such a look from you." My reply to him again.
The Joint Doctor looked to breathe out slowly and he again changed his gaze to be more relaxed even if he noticed that the change was not much, almost the same as before, the eyebrows were wrinkled, even though if he noticed it was not much, sharp eyes, a body that puffs forward and looks narrowed his eyes, like a person who was investigating something to me at that time.
"Well, now let's answer, I've already asked you." Reply to me again.
"Yes doctor, anyways the answer from me before is very clear right? Omi and I are now officially brothers, although we do not have blood relations but I have considered him like my own brother, so there's no way that me and him have such a weird relationship, you have to trust me, that's not going to happen to me and Omi, he's a good kid too." My reply explained clearly to him.
But a few moments after I said all these explanations, the Joint Doctor was seen smiling a little and his face was much brighter than before, but I myself became astonished as to why I should explain all such unimportant things to the Joints doctor, he is not my relative, not my best friend and not a person close to me, he said, why should I explain everything to someone who has made absolutely no contribution in my life, when I realized all of that, I immediately asked the Joints doctor again, because from the beginning he was the one who kept looking so curious, even urging me to explain everything.
"Eh, wait. Why do I have to explain all this to you doctor Joints, and why did you push me to this? What would it have to do with you if only I and Omi really had a relationship or fell in love as a couple in the future?" I asked in surprise to the doctor Joints.
His face immediately turned displeased and he started looking at me lazily, not knowing what caused him to be like that in just an instant.
"What did you say? So you do have the intention to be like that in the future, huh?" The answer is misunderstanding.
"No, that's not what I mean, but you shouldn't care what I do, want me to adopt whoever the Joints doctor shouldn't be as curious just now, right?" Reply explained again.
He fell silent and his face began to look nervous, I felt suspicious of him and continued to stare at him with a fixed closer look to his face until I narrowed my eyes and began to convey my suspicions about him which made me very curious.
"Emm, doctor Joints, or maybe you...." My words narrowed my eyes.
"You what?" Reply while staring at him with just the tip of his eyes, while his face continues to look straight ahead.
"You also want to adopt Omi before, even first by me, right, let's just confess?" Saying to him.
The Joint Doctor immediately felt relieved, because he previously thought Tiktik would know his true feelings, he said, but then he can feel relieved and not need to be nervous or feel anxious again with the suggestion made by Tiktik.
"Aahaha.why do you know?" Reply doctor Joints responded to her groove.
"CRC... I expected that when you came to my house, you just barged into the house and asked about Omi, not about me, so of course if it's not Omi you're worried about then who else, there's no way I'll." Reply to him.
I felt that my guess at the time was right, and it was only natural that if a Joints doctor wanted to adopt a good boy like Omi, he was also hardworking and very dexterous at work, too, he will not trouble anyone if long adopted by any family.
I just feel happy Omi received an offer from me, at least that way I have family, friends and people who can be relied upon when I am alone.
The Joint Doctor also immediately said goodbye after talking about it, I immediately went back inside and enjoyed the night quickly.
In the morning, as usual, I had to leave early, pick up doctor Jendi and deliver him to the puskesmas first then I can go to the market Omi also already awake I invite him to go together but he refuses and says that he can go alone, he said, I didn't force him either, but as I was about to leave he held my hand and said something to me with a very serious face at that moment.
"Omi's going out with you?" Bring him.
"No need brother, Omi can go alone, later all want to go to the house bang Arif first," he refused an offer from me.
"Oh yes already then, but if you want to go alone, this you can not walk, the distance from here to the house bang Arif far enough you take a motorcycle taxi, yes, this is take the money." I said while giving some money to Omi.
She initially refused the gift from me, but I forced her because from now on I will pay for all her life's necessities, let the money he makes from his work he uses for his own needs which I may not have been able to fulfill all, or he can save it.
"But brother, I have my own money, Brother Tiktik need not give me any money." Reply to me at that time.
"Why not necessary? You're my sister, I'm your brother, so from now on whatever your needs you have to tell me, I'll meet all your needs, your work money you keep or you can use it for anything else you need, I'll also give you later, I know you're a smart kid in High School, it's a year late, doesn't matter, does it?" I replied to him while continuing to forcefully give the money and clenched it in Omi's hand.
She looked teary, because I knew from bang Arif that Omi's goal was to work very diligently, because she wanted to find a higher education, she wanted to achieve her dream of becoming a doctor, he wants to settle the grudge in him that has not been paid because both his parents became the subject of failed practice in the city hospital that was opened only a few years ago.
"Hey why are you crying, don't be so Omi, you're a boy, the time with my words you just cry anyway, shame as your body is chasing and strong this." I patted both his shoulders twice.
I just kept patting him on the shoulder to calm him down and just kept giving him strength, I know what it's like to be in Omi's position, I've felt it, and I lost my future because I had to work hard for my own life, I was afraid that if Omi worked, she would end up like me, because the tuition fees were so high, too, and having to go to college while working was so difficult, not everyone was able to do it, even many people who went to college while working but ended up failing because I ran out of money, I used to want to continue college, too, but the cost is impossible for me to meet by working alone, even though I continue to make money day and night, still all that is not balanced, he said, because the work I do is not a job that has a fixed salary, income every day can never be guessed, sometimes a lot and can also not get anything in a few days, or even in a few days, first I still haven't looked after the market like it is today.
I do not want to drag on in deep sadness, I think if I used to fail to go to college, then at least I have to realize the dream of Omi who fared the same as me, until she can achieve her dream.
Although I knew that medical school had a very high cost compared to other majors, practicum money and so on also always appeared suddenly, so I had to work even harder for Omi.
"Omi remember my words, if one day we don't have enough money to pay for your tuition, you never give up, keep going to college keep reaching your dreams do not think about the cost problem I will think about it, you just need to focus on learning, get a scholarship is better, and get a scholarship is better, everything will have a way when we believe in God and believe in the hard work we will do together, you understand?" Saying to him.
He continued to nod while rubbing the remaining tears on his cheeks.
I hugged her once more, and said goodbye to go pick up Doctor Joints, but just as I was about to leave Omi held my hand quickly.
"Wait for my brother." He pulled my hand again.
"Yes, what's up Omi, is there anything you want to say to me again?" I asked him at the time.
"You have to be careful, a lot of people don't like you, the better you are and do a lot of good, the more cruel and hateful you will be, he will do everything he can to destroy you and make you give up, you must be strong, I will take care of you." Omi's words gave me goosebumps for a moment.
I was surprised and confused by what Omi said at the time, but when I asked him who he meant, he shook his head at night and did not want to tell me who it was.
"Eumm..Omi you don't need to worry, you can take care of yourself big brother, do you forget this big brother martial arts, everyone can beat brother with a little skill." My reply was to joke around with her a little so she wouldn't get too tense.
Because his face was so seriously fixed on me, when talking about it and I myself also continued to feel a little anxious about the words he said to me at that time.
"No brother, I'm serious, you have to be careful, they are not alone, they together want to knock you down," he replied again which made me even more anxious.
"But Omi, who do you mean, and why do you know that, where do you know that?" I asked him at the time.
"I saw it, I heard it and I could feel it brother, they held me back from speaking to you, I had promised them before long before we became acquainted with each other, I promised, I thought what I was telling you about, because I didn't even know you at all, but now that you're my brother, I'll take care of you, but keep my promise to them." Reply to him which makes me even more confused.
But because Omi still did not want to say who he was referring to and what kind of danger would befall me, so I could not force him anymore, and decided to think about it next time.
"Aaa.aahhhh.yeah, you believe in you, and big brother promise you will be more vigilant now, thank you for reminding big brother yes, you are also careful in the way." I said to him.
Immediately I got on the sports bike given by the Joints doctor, then continued on quickly, leaving Om who was seen smiling a little and waving his hand at me, I continued to go to Salma's house and sat on the motorbike while waiting for Joints doctor to come out of his house.
But at that time I could not stop thinking about the words of Omi, I kept daydreaming until I forgot and did not pay attention around, if it turns out that the Joints doctor had climbed on my bike at that time.
"Hey..when are we going?" Ask the Joints doctor while patting my shoulder just like that.
I was a little surprised and felt very surprised, because suddenly there was someone behind my motorbike and he even patted me on the shoulder without warning.
"Geez....aahh, Joints doctor since when did you get on my bike?" I asked in surprise to him.
"Since a few minutes ago, and you've been quiet, so I patted my shoulder, why are you so shocked, did you start daydreaming?" Reply to him with a slightly raised tone.
I could only smile a little and admit it with a hint of embarrassment, as I was indeed daydreaming to the point of not being aware of the whereabouts of the Joints doctor before, even I was completely unaware when the Joint Doctor was riding my bike back then.
He could only grumble in annoyance because I might have spent his precious time in the morning.
"Aishh, you son of a bitch, why the hell are you daydreaming like that? What's bothering you?" Ask the doctor Joints a little upset with me.
Because it was a mistake that came from me, I continued to apologize to him, gave him the helmet he used to wear and immediately put on my bike quickly to deliver him to the health center on time.
"Ahaha.sorry doctor, I haven't had breakfast so deh like this, this is his helmet I'll drive you faster. Let's get ready." I replied to him as I immediately went forward the bike quickly.
