Dear Me Jesselyn Anastasia
Worrying

When going back to Jakarta, Jesselyn chose to join Bagas and Lena's car. These two days he felt his body so tired and heavy. At least he can rest in the car during the trip. And there is no drama on the journey like when he came with Leon.

Oma who always looks indifferent to him becomes a different figure when they are about to leave. Oma even made a drama as if she did not want to part with the fox. Hugging it tightly like a toy that does not want to be removed and given to others.

It was only after Lena and Bagas gave understanding and promised to visit again later, finally oma let go of Jesselyn.

"You sick, son?" asked Lena to look at Jesselyn's pale face. "Do you need anything?"

"No aunt. Jesselyn's fine, probably because of the soy sauce so her body's a little limp."

Actually Jesselyn felt her head throbbing so sick, dizzy, her breath was hot. But he didn't say it at all. He doesn't want to make anyone worry, including Lena, his aunt.

"If you sleep, son. Until a new house is built. You take a break, if you need anything, you say the same aunt?" lena looked back where Jesselyn was sitting.

Jesselyn nodded her head, so lazy it felt to open her mouth to speak. He closed his eyes trying to sleep to restore his strength.

Because of feeling tired Leon who returned to Jakarta with his motorbike again stopped at one of the gas stations. Not for rest, but he intended to wash his face. Besides being tired, he was also sleepy. Last night he could not sleep in peace.

The room she was supposed to sleep in was given an oma to Jesselyn. He slept with his papa and opa. Lena slept with the oma.

The snoring voice of opa and her papa told each other in the room. A little Leon came into his dream.

Leon took off the gloves he used. He washed his face to get fresh. Leon washed and rubbed his face so rough, there was no gentleness at all.

When he wiped his wet hand, his eyes were fixed on the white thing that was coiled in his sweet finger. He saw himself reflected in the gas station toilet and smiled faintly.

"Huff.in the end we arrived, pa." Lena was so happy to finally get to her house.

"Yes, ma. Papa is tired too. It feels like it wants to just collapse immediately," said Bagas turned off the engine of his car.

"How's leon? Saying already? He's on a bike, it's gotta be faster than us."

"So he sent a message to my mom, he said he wanted to go to campus for a while before returning home. There is something important he said, understand me, soon will want graduation."

"Yes already, ma. Let's go in."

"She's still asleep" Lena told her husband that Jesselyn in the back seat had not moved at all. "Such a thief, his face was also disheveled as usual."

"Wake up, ma. Let him continue to rest in his room."

"Yes, pa." Lena came out and opened the left back door. "Jes, let's get up. We're home, you keep resting in the room, son." Lena woke Jesselyn up slowly so as not to surprise her, but there was no answer. The girl did not move at all.

"Jes... Jesselyn, let's get up we're here, son."

Because no response made Lena worried. He approached and shook the girl's arm. Lena was surprised, the girl's arm was so warm. Lena placed her palm on the girl's forehead, and it made her even more surprised.

"Pa..," called Lena to her husband loudly. Bagas who was standing outside the car was surprised to hear a loud call from his wife.

"Why, ma?" ask Bagas to panic.

"This is hot, pa!" lena said in fear. He was worried if anything happened to the girl. "Well, you don't know if he's sleeping or fainting again, which he obviously doesn't want to get up and move, pa?"

Without waiting for a cue, Bagas restarted his car and drove it so fast. Behind her Lena still patted Jesselyn softly on the cheek by calling out her name. He tried to wake Jesselin up.

"Let's go, pa!" pinta Lena to get her husband to speed up the car.

"Yes, ma. It's also fast. Soon nyampe, patience ma!"

"Wake up dong, son. Wake baby? You're making auntie worried. Come on, wake up, boy?" call Lena not stop.

It didn't take long, after arriving in front of the hospital Bagas immediately carried Jesselyn and ran inside.

Jesselyn was immediately treated by a doctor while the middle-aged couple waited outside the door of the room where Jesselyn was handled.

"Quiet, ma? She's gonna be okay, okay?" bagas tried to calm his wife.

"But you're worried, pa? Mr. Pandu asked us to take care of him, but he's sick. Mama's afraid that her mom knows she's sick and how to bring her back, pa? I don't want that to happen, she's like my own daughter. Mama doesn't want him to leave the house."

"Don't she stress maybe pa?"

"I mean mama?" tanya Bagas unraveled her embrace.

"Maybe he's stressed because he was fooled by papa's child and had to be engaged yesterday?" obviously Lena said her worries.

Bagas was silent to his wife's words, thinking maybe it was the cause of Jesselyn to get sick.

"Huss, don't think weird. Does my mom want it to be like that? Don't you?"

"Yes, pa. Mama's wrong too, mama's making her sick by pretending to be sick yesterday."

"What?" surprised by what his wife said. "So, you mean just pretending that his heart is relapsing?"

"Sorry, pa?"

"Is that all right, ma?"

Bagas was inexhaustible with the way his wife thought that had to lie for the sake of his intentions that must be carried out. Bagas shook his head in light of last night's events.

"But now you're not lying, pa. Mom's heart feels like it's gonna pop right now."

Bagas invited his wife to sit in a long chair provided by the hospital. He pulls his phone out of his pocket and calls Leon.

Bagas had been around five times back and forth to contact his son, but there was no answer either.

"This kid why is it so hard to contact?" call Leon again for the umpteenth time.

"Where, pa?"

"Not lifted"

"Send me a message, pa!" the words Lena and Bagas instantly sent a message to Leon.

Seeing the doctor coming out of Jessselyn's room, Lena immediately stood up and approached her.

"What is my son, doc?" asked Lena with a serious face.

"Nothing serious. It's just that his current condition is very weak" the doctor told him. "Did he get rained recently?"

"Two days ago it seemed like he was hit by a docking rain while on the road."

"Hemmm, I'm sure. He was like this due to exhaustion and being exposed to rainwater. Looking at the results of the examination, it seems that the mother's child is vulnerable to pain if exposed to rain water. After being exposed to the rain it seemed like he did not immediately shampoo and change his clothes so that the rainwater settles on his skin and head."

"But he's okay, isn't he, doc?"

"He's fine, he'll soon be conscious. But after he realized he still had a lot of rest" the doctor explained.

"Good, doc. Thanks!" said Bagas and Lena was relieved.

"Okay, then excuse me. The nurse will continue the care of the mother's child" the doctor said, leaving them both.

"Oh yes," said the doctor stopped his steps and turned toward the husband and wife. "Has the mother's child been exposed to insect bites recently?" ask the curious doctor.

Bagas and Lena throw each other a glance because of the doctor's question. "No, doc. What's up, doc?" lena said frowning her forehead.

"There's nothing. Then excuse me" said the doctor, continuing his path by shaking his head.

After seeing the condition of Jesselyn who was still not awake, Bagas came out to fill her stomach that had been rumbling to the hospital canteen. While Lena chose to wait for her son's fiance.

"Omm?" greeting a young man who accidentally met Bagas while walking in the hospital hallway.

"Leo?"
