THE LIFE OF A MAN
EPISODE 17'S
Happy reading ..
❄❄❄❄❄❄❄
The son had entered his private room in the villa. “Anth?” Call the Son because Anthony is no longer in bed.
The son opened the bathroom door to check the boy's whereabouts.
“Anth?!”
Anthony is not in the bathroom either. Call the Son again who started to panic while checking the balcony and looking down at the balcony. A little relieved because it was empty on the ground under the balcony. The son then widened his steps to get out of his private room.
“Anth! Anthony!” The son called out in a panic to Anthony because the boy was not in the room.
Although a little relieved to think that was not – is not about Anthony when Putra looking for the boy on the balcony of his private room, but still the Son panicked because Anthony was not in the room.
“ANTH! ANTHONY!”
Damian, Bruna, Garret including Mr. Abdul immediately rushed to the room Putra was in because he heard the loud voice of the man who was calling Anthony.
And the five men then split up to find Anthony around Villa.
***
The son took his sweater. Because the villa where they live is in an area near the mountains, so the night air will be a little cold, although not as cold as during winter in Europe.
“Anth...?”
Putra's steps immediately stopped when he arrived at the Villa's living room.
Then the Son turned on the main light while passing so that the light in the room was no longer dim.
“Oh Anth ...”
“Dad-dy.... Mommy ...”
“Anth ..” The son immediately rested at Anthony's side and grabbed the boy who was standing while sobbing in front of a large photo figura containing Anthony's painting with his parents.
“Dad-dy.... Mommy ...” Anthony is still crying.
“Anth...”.
The son let the boy fall in his arms. He glanced at the happy painting of Anthony and his parents. Son's heart is like dre**s pain.
Damian and the others had already joined Putra in the living room as well. Just as the Son, Damian, Bruna and Garret glanced at the happy painting of Anthony and his parents, then looked at the little boy who had broken down in the arms of the Son.
Now they understand the source of Anthony's hysteria this morning. Maybe the poor boy remembered the tragedy that happened to him, as well as his parents when they saw a painting of him with his beloved Daddy and Mommy.
**
Days passed
“I will bring Anthony to the Hospital tomorrow (I'll take Anthony to the Hospital tomorrow)”
“I will go with you (I'll go with you)”
“Tsk! Bruna will go with me. She can communicate with the Doctor connected with Anth’s condition (Bruna will go with me. He can communicate with the Doctor related to Anth condition)”
“Oh come on Putra, I am a little bit bored here (Oh come on Son, I'm a little bored here)”
“I am taking Anth to get some treatment at the Town Hospital. Not for a stroll (I'd like to bring Anth to do some medicine at the City Hospital. Not road – road)”
“Ya I know. Me and Garret will accomplish you to go to the Hospital and after that we can take Anth to stroll at the Town. Maybe he will like it”
”(Yes I know. Garret and I will accompany you to the Hospital and after that we can take Anth all – roads in the city. Maybe he likes it)”
“I think Damian was right (I think Damian was right)” Chirps Garret.
“I am always right (I am always right)” Sambar Damian while grinning. The son gave a lash to her but Damian chuckled.
“I also agreed with his idea. We can take Anth to go around the Town. Maybe we can found something that makes him happy”
”(I also agree with his idea. We can take Anth around the city. Maybe we can find something that makes him happy)”
“Alright. Alright. As you guys wish then (Alright. Alright. It's up to you guys)”
***
The son and five others were already on their way to go to Kota in the area where their Villa was located. There are two cars that Putra and Damian have prepared when they go to the place to prepare for the move of Rery and his family.
The son with Anthony and Bruna was in the first car driven by Mr. Abdul.
While Damian followed the car driven by Mr. Abdul behind him. Quite far away also from their place to get to the city which is said to be Mr. Abdul. But fortunately the streets are very quiet so they do not get bored or tired on the road.
Until they arrived at the City referred to by Mr. Abdul.
The son and the others went straight to the Hospital in the City when they reached it. “Just like Ravenna (Like Ravenna)”
“Heem” Sahut Putra who after getting out of the car stood up while turning his body to look around the not too big Hospital.
“I don’t think that we can get a Psychiatrist here (I don't think we'll find a Psychiatrist here)”
“We will see. Now better we get in. Mr. Abdul knows a good Doctor here, he said (See later. We better get in. Mr. Abdul knows one of the good doctors here, he said)”
“Ya. The point is we do a medical check up for Anth first (Yes right. The point is we do an examination of Anthony's condition as a whole first)” Sahut Bruna. “Let us get in (Let's go in)”
“Come (Come)” Said Putra and he crouched beside the car to talk to Anthony who was still sitting quietly in the car. Although Anthony did not respond with words no longer even turned his head when the Son spoke to him, but the boy wanted to come down when the Son took his hand.
Then the Son immediately carried Anthony after the boy got out of the car and immediately took him into the Hospital.
***
Since the arrival of the Son and brother – brother of his bulenya at the local City Hospital, they have become the center of attention of – people.
Not a strange thing, but not much. Foreign nationals are also in the city, but not many. So still the strangers who look seliweran let alone the handsome and beautiful will automatically be the center of attention.
Among them, it was the face of the Son who seemed to have a little face of Indonesian people in addition to his hair that was black like the mother.
But still the face of the Son is dominated by pieces of foreigners with white skin and a sharp nose and dark green eyes.
The rest, from Damian to Anthony right – really looks like a stranger's face both their skin, stature, eye color and hair.
“You both stay here (You two wait here)” Say Son to Damian and Garret.
Damian and Garret were whiny as their eyes glanced at some of the native girl nurses who wara – wiri.
“Me and Garret will be waiting for three of you here (Me and Garret will be waiting for you here)” Damian said as he occasionally spread charm through his smile on the nurses who passed them.
Son rolled his eyes lazy, then he leaves Damian and Garret in the waiting room of the Hospital while he goes with Bruna and Pak Abdul to take Anthony to see a Doctor who, according to their housekeeper, is the most famous Doctor there.
Anthony underwent several examinations calmly. Too quiet even. Let alone talking, moving if not to be examined it feels like the boy was reluctant. She always stays like a puppet.
***
An hour later Anthony was right – completed the examination including Putra and Bruna did a consultation about Anthony. Then after approaching Damian and Garret who looked like a henchman while still chatting in the waiting room of the Hospital, still spread the charm.
Putra is not fluent in using Indonesian, but for understanding he is very understanding. Only the tongue of Putra is not yet accustomed to speaking more Indonesian.
So what the Doctor said was quite understood.
“Finish? (Having finished?)”
“Ya”
“Too bad (Honey once)”
“Hem?” The son glanced at Damian.
“I have to left these beautiful nurses (I have to leave those beautiful nurses)”
The son and Bruna turned their lazy eyeballs at Damian while Garret just chuckled. Mr. Abdul smile – smile only.
Although Mr. Abdul does not understand English but from the Damian style he can read, if the foreign man admires and is interested in the nurses at the Hospital.
“I will learn the language they use here, huh? (I seem to have to learn the language they use here huh?)”
Damian chattering.
"What a shame I do not understand their language. I am just wasted my chance to talk with these beautiful nurses (Sadly I don't understand their language. I missed the chance to talk to those beautiful sisters)"
“Whatever! (Stupid time!)”
“Women Eater! (Basic villain lady!)”
***
After exiting the Hospital, the six people then walked – roads around the City they were visiting at this time.
“Are you hungry Anth? (Are you hungry Anth?)”
“......”
“Is there a good restaurant here, Mr Abdul?”
The son who heard Bruna ask Anthony immediately asked Abdul who was beside him. Bruna's right, maybe Anthony's hungry.
But because the child is silent, so it does not know also the Son whether the boy is hungry or not. But let it be, the Son will still invite those with him to eat.
The return trip to the villa is also quite far away.
“There Sir. There are two good restaurants here” replied Mr. Abdul.
“What provides the usual food we eat?”
Son confirmed. Because the four people who were with him were definitely unfamiliar with the food that was commonly available in the area where they were now. If Putra a little bit already know and taste some, because it has been introduced the mother with indigenous food – terms, since she was a child.
For the time being, he will rely on Mr. Abdul. After all, when he came with Damian to Villa before, he only stayed in Villa. For all the completeness in the Villa both the building itself including the purchase of the car also Putra asked for the help of Mr. Abdul who had quite a lot of relations.
“There Sir. There is a fairly large and famous restaurant that provides food – western food Tuan” replied Pak Abdul again.
“Good. Take us there”
“Good Tuan”
***
Mr. Abdul then took Putra and four others with him to a restaurant that is quite famous in the City.
A Vintage Restaurant that has existed since the Dutch era and provides various types of dishes – typical European dishes that must be in accordance with the taste and of course the pockets of the employers.
Mr. Abdul knows, although not exactly the amount of wealth of the employer. What is clear is that when he saw his master exchange money with the Bank people who were called to the Villa, he was so stunned.
“Woah what a fine Restaurant (Wah Very good Restaurant)” Praise Damian.
“Oh yes I forgot about this place. My parents ever brought me here if we were visited Indo (Oh yeah I forgot about this place. My parents once brought me here if we were visiting Indonesia)”
“Pak Abdul is a competent person I guess (Pak Abdul is a competent person too I guess)” Bruna said.
“He ever worked in this City (He used to work in this City)”
“Huumm .. See I .. (So..)” Mangosteen bruna – mangosteen.
“Come, let us in (Come, we're in)”
“Come (Come)”
“Come, Anth. Let us eat (Come, Anth. Let's eat)” Son then talks to Anthony who is still sitting quietly in the car.
Because Anthony does not respond, as usual the Son will touch Anthony's hand gently and hold it. A way that the Son has learned himself to make Anthony aware of his meaning.
And yes, it is useful for the Son to make Anthony understand his point.
Anthony was out of the car, but he did not wander like before if he was taken to walk – roads when his parents were still alive.
The son immediately carried Anthony as the boy got out of the car and Mr. Abdul closed the car door quietly.
“Come, Mr. Abdul. Join us”
The speech of the Son seemed to make Mr. Abdul a little surprised.
“Oh no Sir, thank you. Let me wait here”
“This is my order on Mr. Abdul” Said Putra. “Come in and sit with us”
“But Sir, I will make your image bad Mr Putra”
“I don't like to be denied Mr. Abdul”
“Ma-sorry Sir. I'm good to come in with Tuan”
With an awkward feeling half-dead, clearly drawn on the face of Mr. Abdul he also obeyed the order of the Son to eat with his Master.
“Do not feel hesitate to us Pak Abdul (Do not hesitate on us Pak Abdul)”
Damian deliberately walked beside Mr. Abdul while patting – shoulder – men's shoulder. But because he did not understand Damian's words, he also turned to the Son.
“Damian said Mr. Abdul need not hesitate to us” Said Putra who answered Pak Abdul's confusion by throwing a smile of hospitality.
“Te-thank you Mr..” Mr. Abdul was visibly moved by the treatment of his masters who did not distinguish the man. He bent his body when a servant delivered to a table that had been arranged in such a way with several circular chairs.
“Do not like that. Think of us like family, Mr. Abdul” said Putra while bringing Anthony to sit and invite Mr. Abdul also to sit.
Fortunately the waiter at the Restaurant understood English so for reservations can be done without Language constraints. In accordance with the restaurant that carries the theme of Europe.
Even the Restaurant Manager was also a European and he served the Son and his entourage directly.
‘His face looks familiar.. (His face looks familiar)’ Inner Son.
“What is it Son? (What's the Son?)” Bruna asked the Son who seemed to be daydreaming after the Restaurant Manager left to prepare their order.
‘It was just my feeling if that man was noticed my face? (Is it just my feeling that the man is watching my face?)’
