" Mom is sick, ma hiks hiks hiks" a crying child withstood the pain of injuring his cheek. The little boy's mother felt what her son was suffering.
Before the incident happened to his son, a woman who was busy cooking fried food to be sold around the complex.
" Asalamu Alaikum, Bu Clara" someone called from outside.
He stopped his activity that was pouring flour on bananas. Someone from the outside called his name back. The woman called to wash her hands that had been filled with flour.
" Greetings Waalaikum Bu Halimah, please sit" nyapa new woman coming from the direction in the house.
"Bu Clara sorry to interrupt, I want to order fried food for employee snacks at the factory" said Halimah who has a factory tofu.
" What time does the order take ma'am?" ask Clara.
" When the fritters are ready for my phone? I'll have Asep's mang pick it up." said Halimah.
From the direction of the room the little boy ran towards the kitchen to meet his mother.
" Ma!" call that little boy named Ana.
" why is my mom not in the kitchen? or is your mom in front?" say the boy again. When he stepped back he looked towards the pan whose fire was still burning. Ana approached the frying pan.
" Why didn't you turn off the stove? it'll burn the fried banana." ucapa Ana while turning off the stove.
The fried banana that had been charred was lifted. However, a small hand could not keep up with the weight of the pan so the pan fell. The hot oil splashed out so that it hit Ana's smooth cheeks.
Ana screamed pain in her face. Clara who was still chatting with Halimah was shocked by the sound from the kitchen. Halimah and Clara got up from their seats and ran towards the kitchen.
Clara and Halimah were shocked to see Ana's crying condition holding her partially blistered face.
" Anaa" yelled them in unison and went straight to Ana.
" Mama's sick "nodles Ana who's in pain.
" Look down, Clara, let's get Ana to the hospital right away" said the panicked Halimah.
" Patience baby, we're going to the hospital?" said Clara who could not hold back tears seeing the condition of her only child.
" Clara you wait here, I call asep first to take you to the hospital" said Halimah passed.
" Ma's sick" Ana's pain.
" Patience dear, wait, son" said Clara who still shed her tears.
" Clara come! Mang Asep had been waiting for "Shouted Halimah from the outside.
" Come on, baby" said Clara.
" I will follow later, take Ana quickly to the hospital to be treated quickly by a doctor" said Halimah who felt sad that happened to Ana.
The car quickly took them to the hospital. Mang Asep who so loved Ana like his son also felt sad to see Ana's condition now.
The little girl who knew a village so beautiful and cheerful was now crying in pain.
After the doctor examined Ana's condition, the doctor approached Clara who sat down to see Ana sleeping in her sleep because of the effect the doctor gave.
" Patience to Mom! Hopefully Ana can accept her current condition" said the doctor no answer from Clara the doctor also moved away. The doctor understood the condition of his mother who was shocked to hear the doctor's remarks after Ana's examination.
" I'm sorry, son, I can't take good care of you. It's mom's fault, I should have turned off the stove." said a guilty Clara who couldn't look after her son properly.
Halimah and Mang Asep just arrived at the hospital and headed straight to Ana's hospital room. Halimah saw Clara who was lamenting her guilt to make her hug Clara to calm down.
" Clara how's Ana doing?" Halimah asked who was still hugging Clara. Halimah already considers Clara is her brother so there is no awkward between them to strengthen each other.
"Mother Halimah, Ana will be deformed." Clara's cries broke in Halimah's arms. Halima was shocked by Clara's words.
" Clara you have to be strong for your child, do not cry later Ana sees she will be even more sad" said Halimah who was so sad that befell Ana.
Halimah already considers Ana like her son. Because Ana often plays to Halimah's house that many children of her age there.
The late night makes Halimah saying goodbye to go home and will visit tomorrow. After Halimah's departure, Clara approached Ana's bed and stroked her hair.
" I'm sorry dear mama" said Clara who was still in her tears.
After 10 minutes of looking at her son's face, Clara's eyes suddenly felt sleepiness that could not be stopped. Feeling tired and crying earlier that made him sleep soundly beside Ana.
On a sunny morning in the hospital area, which makes the sunlight into the room hit the face of the child who was asleep in his sleep. Annoyed Ana suddenly opened her eyes slowly to adjust the light entering her retina.
Ana saw a room that looked foreign to her that painted white walls and white hanging curtains, Ana who remembered the incident happened to her immediately felt her cheek.
" Aaakh is sick" cried Ana as she touched her bandaged cheek.
Clara was shocked to hear Ana's voice screaming.
" What's up, baby?" ask Clara who is worried about her child's condition.
" Why is she here?" ask Ana who makes Clara confused with her Son.
" I'm not kidding ma! , Mama did not go home to take a bath first, and then make food for me." said Ana who still pranks her mother.
Clara who was about to answer her son's words stopped when the sound of a door opening that featured a nurse came with the doctor. The doctor approached Ana and checked on Ana, who was smiling at them.
" Hey pretty girl? Can this handsome doctor know what your name is? " ask the doctor to tempt Ana so as not to be afraid of being injected by him.
" My name is Alana Liona Gantari call me Ana or Liona Om Doctor" Ana said with a child's coloteh.
The doctor and Ana chat with each other to make the atmosphere happy to see Ana back cheerful without complaining of pain.
" Mom Clara can we talk?" ask the nurse next to Clara.
" Yes sus! What's up?" said Clara.
" Have you been able to pay her administration fees now?" ask sister.
" Yes sus." reply Clara.
" Then come with me to pay the administration fee" said the nurse, Clara nodded her head. Before catching up with the nurse, Clara bids farewell to Ana and the doctor who is busy chatting like dating.
" Dear, mom stayed a while? Mama there needs to be the same nurse." said Clara who was immediately nodding her head by Ana.
" Doc! I'll take Ananya for a minute, Doc?" said Clara. The doctor nodded his head.
" Emang Ana what goods in the titip-tip everything, Ana is already big ma" said Ana who did not accept what her mother said.
Clara could only shake her head without dodging Ana's words. He went to the administration room.
" How much is all sus?" ask Clara who's at the administration desk.
The nurse gave a note of the cost that must be paid off. Clara was surprised by the nominal in the note that had to be paid immediately. Clara was silent for a moment thinking about how to earn that kind of money.
" God, where do I get this much money? my savings are not enough to pay for this hospital" murmured Clara who could only be heard.
" How can you pay now or?" ask sister.
" Sus, can I give you a minute to get this much money?" ask Clara.
" I'm sorry ma'am, if you can't pay today too, the mother's child care will be stopped for a while before the mother paid it off" said the nurse.
" I'm going to pay now, but I want to take the money at home first. I didn't bring my bag here yesterday" Clara told the nurse..
" Yes ma'am" replied the nurse.
Clara returns to Ana's room to say goodbye to the house and brings back money for her treatment while in the hospital.
" Mama's back?" asked Ana who saw her mother enter her room.
" Mama wants to go home first, Mama wants to take money to pay for his administration dear" said Clara touching the face of her son who was next to no bandage.
" Mama wasn't long, was she?" asked Ana who felt strange.
" Mama is not long love," said Clara while kissing her son's forehead. Clara also felt something in her heart that was not willing to leave her own child. But he still decided to go to take the money to pay off the hospital fees.
" Mom be careful!" said Ana who glanced at her mother stepping. Clara turned around and hugged Ana.
" Mama always loved you, son, so dear. Mama's only treasure is you baby, don't be a bad boy again huh?" clara said like a message.
" Yes mama, Ana promises to be a good child and calm for mama" said Ana who still invites joking.
" Yes my mom said yes?" clara said as she rubbed Ana's head.
" Yes ma!! papay mam" said Ana as she waved her hand. Clara replied to Ana's lambaiyan and immediately passed away.
On the way Clara seemed to be daydreaming about how to get the money. Suddenly she remembered someone so good to her. The goal to return home can not be continued, he turned towards another direction that must have been to the house which in his mind can help.
On the way to the bus Clara stopped at the place to go where the person she wanted to go. Clara got off the bus and started walking across. Without him knowing the truck drove quickly towards him because of the brakes blong until a collision that could not be avoided.
" Ciiiiittt brrraaaakkkhh" the sound of the collision that made the person thrown away.
People were running around to see what was happening around them. One of them immediately contacted the police and ambulance.
" Prahangg"
