My First Love Story
Episode 70's

Kezia remained alone in his room. He closed his eyes and tried to calm his breathing. He tried to remind himself that this was only temporary and that he would definitely recover. Over and over again, he encouraged himself.

His hands began to fall, palpating at times his legs that looked normal. He looked curiously at both of his feet with teary eyes. What's wrong, he thought. Many times he rubbed his legs, but still, he felt nothing. Kezia sighed in trying to hold back his true feelings in contrast to the logic that runs.

"Hey, what are you doing?!" Shouted Kezia who hit both his own legs furiously.

He started crying sobbing with shaky shoulders showing his broken cry. His feet really felt nothing even as he struck, changing his hands that were reddened from hitting his feet.

"Aarr!!!!" yelled kezia while scrambling the blankets and pillows on her bed. He rattled his hair in frustration and cried, crying over his poor self. In fact, he could not be that strong accepting his current condition.

And out there, the companions and both parents could only see through the doorway without daring to approach as Kezia requested. Their cries sounded soft. Her three best friends embrace each other and Eliana sniffles in Martin's arms.

Tired of her cries, Kezia could only lay her body weak. He stared at the ceiling of the treatment room painted white. It felt like everything was going to collapse on him, just as his spirit was starting to collapse. He shed tears without a single puff. He was completely helpless and hoped that no one would see his weakness at this moment.

A tight pump on her right arm resuscitated Kezia from her daydream. Apparently, an automatic tension meter attached to his arm was trying to check his blood pressure again. Kezia turned towards the monitor that was still faithfully beeping regularly. For a moment Kezia remembered her dream when she met her sister. He also remembered the faces that had been a few days must have been very worried about him. But instantly they smiled as Kezia could open her eyes. Kezia again let out a deep breath.

“Isn't this what I expected, meeting and talking back to the people I care about? Then why should I lament this one misfortune and forget the abundant affection of those who love me?” kezia muttered to himself.

Kezia wiped away the tears with the back of her hand. He no longer wants to be sad. Although it felt heavy, he was sure he could face everything. Even falling down won't make it better.

“Excited key, inget said doctor herdiman, no pain that can not heal. So fight, don't give up!”

Kezia clenched her hands trying to encourage herself. Yes, no matter how much spirit and treatment he received, it would be meaningless if he did not have the self-motivation to get through it all. Stop wailing, stop complaining, he believes this is how God makes him stronger.

“Pah, this is a mama debit card. There is still a bit of savings, hopefully can cover a little hospital costs.” Eliana said while thrusting her debit card on Martin.

“Don't mah, money mamah for a while as keep our daily living costs. Let papah try again to find money to pay for hospital fees, at least half of it.” Martin immediately refused Eliana's hand.

“But where are you going? The money we need is not a little.” Eliana looked at Martin with full immortality.

“Ssttt... mamah do not be hard.. later zia denger... “ Martin put his index finger on the lips, he tried to remind Eliana.

Currently Eliana and Martin were conversing in the waiting room of Kezia's room which was only in a partition with curtains. Eliana and Martin thought, Kezia is still asleep and does not hear their talk. But in fact they were wrong, Kezia heard all their talk and could only close his eyes. This time, he felt that he had added a burden to his parents. Very depressing.

“Sunday was papah overtime, papah will try to ask the finance section maybe papah overtime can be paid. Other shortcomings, will try to think again. For sure mamah must be sure, papah finance you with halal money.” Tukas Martin rubbed Eliana's shoulder. Eliana could only nod in agreement. “Now papah ask, please take good care of zia. Keep him for papah, because maybe papah will rarely accompany him, hem?” close Martin.

Eliana could not help her feelings of sadness. He hugged Martin tightly. He sobbed on Martin's shoulder.

“Cry as long as zia doesn't see it. But in front of Zia, mamah must be the strongest supporter okey! We are both struggling, he is struggling to recover and we are fighting to keep giving him the spirit so as not to give up.– Lirih Martin who is still heard by Kezia.

Kezia's chest again felt tight. But she did not want to shed her tears again. He must be strong, just like his mother and father. Although while pretending to be strong, but in the future he is sure to really get used to being strong.

There was a sound of feet walking towards him. It seems Martin and Eliana are approaching him.

“Zia still sleeping reward, let me just say goodbye yaaa..” whispered Eliana while staring at Kezia's sleeping face. He rubbed Kezia's head gently while trying to smile.

Martin nodded, he walked closer to Kezia. The pecking of Kezia's head was long enough. Kezia opened his eyes and pretended to have just woken up.

“Pah...” Lirih Kezia with a smile on the corner of her lips.

“Honey, what papah woke you up son?”

“Emmm... no kok pah.. ” Kezia replied with a smile. Kezia realized, this smile that his parents missed. “Who wants to go to the office again?” continued Kezia.

“Iya son, maybe today papah will be overtime... Do you want papah to stay here?”

“Emmm zia, just want papah also always maintain papah health. Don't be too tired..” says Kezia with spoiled.

“Of course, papah will pay attention to papah's health. And mama too, isn't she mah?” martin exclaimed as he extended his hand towards Eliana who had been only riveted.

“Iya darling..” sahut Eliana.

“By zia ask for a hug, zia kangen same mommy and papah.” said Kezia while stretching his hand.

Soon Eliana and Martin embrace Kezia and tighten their arms. There is a warm feeling that they miss each other so much. In Kezia's heart promised, he would be strong for both his parents.

“Dok, after I go home, can I walk therapy at home?” Ask Kezia. He realized that the cost of therapy would not be cheap.

Kezia understood. “If your spirit is this high, it seems like tomorrow you can go home.” Her impression while writing something in Kezia's medical records.

“Good doc, thank you very much..” said Kezia who was getting excited. Eliana rubbed Kezia's back gently, she could see the happy twinkle that radiated from Kezia's eyes.

“Sama-sama” said doctor Herdiman while giving his thumbs up and then passed.

“Sayangg... You are a great boy mamah, soon we can go home..” said Eliana while hugging Kezia. “You want to tell papah first. She must be so happy.” Its effects.

Kezia just nodded.

Eliana walks to the couch, picks up her phone and searches for Martin's number. But instantly, his hand stopped moving as he realized, if Kezia could go home tomorrow, it meant that they should have already prepared money for the hospital's repaid. Eliana checks her mobile banking and checks the remaining balance she has, the number is not much and most likely will be less.

“Mah..” Kezia calls Eliana in a slow voice. “Mah,, mamah why?” Kezia repeated his call, seeing Eliana stunned. “Mamah..” exclaims Kezia hardened the volume of his voice.

“Ya darling..” Eliana aghast.

“Mamah why, he said he wanted to call papah.”.

“Thank you mah...” welcome Kezia. Eliana just smiled.

“Mamah went broke yes..” Eliana rubbed kezia's head and soon passed. Kezia just nodded.

Kezia turned on her phone. So many missed calls to voice boxes and incoming messages. But he only saw it briefly. He immediately checked his savings balance. He knows, at this time his parents must be confused for the cost of his hospital..

Kezia smiled a little relieved when his savings were still quite a lot. Kezia hugged her own phone. He thought, fortunately all this time he often set aside his money, so that in this condition he could use it well.
