SYAHDU (Contract Sleep Friends)
Syahdu Fainted

Syahdu and Wicak walked while holding hands in the hospital hallway. It was because Wicak did not also release his grip and Syahdu wanted to strengthen the relationship with his lover in people in the hospital.

"Shahdu, you haven't eaten yet. I bought it in the cafeteria, huh?"

"I don't taste, brother."

"But you are lethargic. You go in Grandma's room, wait a minute I buy some food." Wicak stepped, but his hand was held by Syahdu.

"Sister, nothing. From earlier brother nawari eat continue I imagine food aja nausea."

"So, what do you want, hm?" Wicak stroked soft cheeks Syahdu. The girl's face had looked pale since.

Syahdu grabbed Wicak's hand, took him walking again.

"Son, I've been helping me with the money. Next time, for financial matters, let me do it myself." Say Syahdu with a voice that starts hoarse.

"You focus on college and grandma. I'll help you with other business."

"But.."

"Dear." Wicak stopped his steps. "I am you? I want you to depend on me too. I want to help ease your burden. That's it."

Syahdu clasped Wicak's hand. Again and again, he felt very lucky.

"Sister that, have helped me a lot with grandma. In fact, I want brother ga follow again feel burdened with my calamity."

"Hey, hey. I never felt burdened with you. Not at all. I can't be quiet when I know you have a problem."

"Thank you, brother. I'm lucky because my brother loves me."

"Not just darling, Syahdu. I love you so much. Put that down."

Syahdu shed tears, then he laughed to divert his sadness. "Love you too, brother." She wiped away the tears. Always, every Wicak expressed his feelings, Syahdu's heart as sliced.

The boy pulled her in a hug, gently rubbed Syahdu's hair and let the girl until her crying subsided.

"Picku's boyfriend whiny. It never changes and I love it. Awwww.."

Syahdu pinched the small waist of Wicak, until it made the man squirm amusedly.

They arrived in front of Grandma's room. When Syahdu wanted to open the door, suddenly his head was dizzy and the view felt spinning. But he brushed aside and immediately opened the door.

"Shahdu, have you gone home?" Grandma was fed by sister. He looks happy to see Syahdu and also Wicak.

"Grand, how, is that good?" Wicak asked, he closed the door and touched the two shoulders of Syahdu in front of him because the woman was just standing there.

"It's getting better."

"Thank God." The boy turned to the girl in front of him. "Shahdu, there's ap-"

Syahdu's body collapsed, fortunately Wicak quickly caught it which spontaneously made the panic of the sisters and grandmother there.

"Syahduuu, why? Oh my God." cried grandma in a panic.

"Mom, don't panic, yeah." The Goddess Sister tried to calm Suri down.

"Myahdu why, Wicak?" Suriani again. She was crying in her safe.

Wicak carried Syahdu's body to the bed. He gently stroked the girl's forehead.

"Sus, please call the doctor."

Sister Dewi patted and then pressed the emergency button, calling the guard doctor there.

"Shahdu, wake up baby." The lizard is actually panicking. But he tried to calm down. Moreover, Grandma had been crying over Syahdu who fainted in front of her eyes.

Not long after, the doctor entered the room.

"Dok, please. He fainted."

The lizard made room for the arriving doctor. After checking the condition of Syahdu, the doctor asked the nurse to pair it with an infusion device.

"Why my grandson, doc?" Suriani asked worriedly.

"Mother, relax, yeah. Syahdu. He's running out of fluids, so we'll help him with the infusion, yeah." The doctor tried to calm the grandmother because he knew the woman was not well.

The sisters came and put the infusion into Syahdu's hands. Wicak actually felt his heart was not safe and his knee also felt weak. Especially if until Syahdu why, it feels like he will not forgive himself.

"I'll excuse you."

"Thank you, doc." Said Wicak then he sat next to Syahdu, taking off the girl's shoes.

"Grandma's also resting, yeah." Sister Dewi helped lower the gurney's backrest, so Suriani could sleep well.

"But Syahdu has nothing, sus." Ask again convincingly.

"Ga nothing, grandma. Later also mbak Syahdu aware, or tomorrow grandma already can see fresh Syahdu mbak again." Sahut Sister Dewi, while cleaning up the rest of Suriani's food.

"Grandma's sleeping, yeah." Say Sister Goddess, then come out carrying a tray of food.

"Yes?"

"Ee... Nurse who looks after Grandma?"

"Yes, my mom."

He glanced at the clock in his hand. "Gini sus, about an hour and a half away, I have to work. Will you be able to send Syahdu?"

"Can, mas. I check on my grandmother once every hour. I will see Syahdu."

"Ah, thank you, sus."

"Together, mas. Mari.." Sister Dewi stepped away, while Wicak came back in and found grandma began to sleep because of the influence of drugs.

The lizard sits on the edge of the bed. He held Syahdu's hand. It was regretful that he did not force the woman to eat until Syahdu fainted.

He also wanted to be beside Syahdu. But just yesterday he got a work permit to accompany the operating grandmother. So, there was no way he would be allowed to leave his job again.

"As long as you are, only this time you passed out like this." Wicak clasped Syahdu's hand tightly, stroking with his thumb.

"Weight, huh?" Say it again with a soft word. I feel sorry, I can't help much.

Wicak continued beside Syahdu until the time showed where he had to go to work.

"Sister.."

Only Wicak wanted to hold a bag, he immediately sat down again when Syahdu was awake.

"Honey.." hurriedly he grabbed the girl's hand.

"I why.."

"Fainting. You lack fluids and do not eat all day. Plus vomiting again. Your stomach is empty, there is no contents. What is it to digest? You must also have a lot of thoughts, so be gini." Wicak instead nagged, making Syahdu smile faintly.

"Sorry.."

Hearing the girl's apology made Wicak stop nagging.

"Would you like to eat?"

Syahdu.

"Yes, you're sleeping again, yeah. Rest. I can't go because I have to work until 2, I'll be here again after work."

"Do not, brother." reject Syahdu. He knew Wicak must be tired from working the night shift. "Sister go home and rest, yeah. I can come here again tomorrow." Say the girl.

"I don't want my brother to be sick, even my sister to be sick." Reciprocity.

Wicak just silently held Syahdu's hand. The hand of a strong woman whose burden is now getting heavier and unlucky, she cannot finish the burden of Syahdu.

"If there's anything, contact the Goddess sisters, yes. Or if there's anything you need, call me." Wicak brought Syahdu's phone closer to his side.

"Yes. Take care of me, brother."

"I'll take care of you, baby. Tomorrow, you should be healthy. Yea?"

Syahdu nodded, then touched Wicak's cheek. "Love you so much.."

"Love you too, love." He answered by kissing Syahdu's hand.

"I'll go first, okay?"

"Be careful, brother."

"Yes." Yeah." The lizard kissed the girl's hand again and also her forehead. Then Wicak held his bag.

"Remember, if there's anything, let me know." He said before closing the door, and only answered a nod with a smile by Syahdu.

It felt like it had been a few hours since Syahdu fell asleep. But he suddenly woke up when he felt his hand being held by someone.

Syahdu tried to open his very heavy eyes. Arga's shadow is there.

The man held Shahdu's hand between his hands. Then touch her forehead. He looked down and said something, but Syahdu could not hear it clearly.

"Shahdu."

"Hm.."

Syahdu wanted to say but his eyes felt heavy.

He could hear Arga's voice, but did not know what he was saying. Until Arga stroked her head gently and she fell back asleep.
