Part- 28 Lay Helpless

Wisanggeni checked his nephew's pulse. "She's just exhausted and needs treatment for her injuries." Wisanggeni spoke in a whisper as if he was talking to himself. But the sentence was heard quite clearly by everyone present. Magdalene and Nina frowned, indicating that they did not understand Wisanggeni's words. Both of them tried to understand it but didn't understand, because neither Magdalene nor Nina had no one sees any injuries on Fareda's body.

After finishing his sentence, Wisanggeni turned and looked at Saka who was still crying in Magdalene's arms. Wisanggeni gestured to his wife to take his son away from there. After that Wisanggeni turned to Nina, "honey, I needs warm water, can you help me make it?" Nina nodded firmly and immediately rushed to the kitchen. While Nina was making warm water, Wisanggeni called his personal doctor, “please take a nurse with you, the situation is very pathetic. Almost the whole body was torn apart including part of his face.” Wisanggeni immediately hung up the phone as soon as he heard the doctor's ability. Wisanggeni approached Nina and took water from her. "Honey, I know it's going to be tough but you have to know, I want you to be strong." Nina nodded firmly. Wisanggeni took his daughter to Fareda's room.

Wisanggeni carefully placed a tray of warm water brought from the kitchen on the nightstand beside the bed. Wisanggeni slowly dragged a chair and asked Nina to sit down. Nina also obeyed her father's request. The rancid smell stung the nose again. But the two of them paid no heed, though they were clearly annoyed. After that Wisanggeni was busy running around getting towels, scissors, medicine boxes and a change of clothes for Fareda. Nina's eyes did not blink at Wisanggeni's behavior.

After everything he needed was sufficient, Wisanggeni began to cut Fareda's clothes and cleaned every wound on Fareda's body with warm water. What Wisanggeni did next was put on a change of clothes. With his face frozen expressionless, Wisanggeni took care of Fareda. That is Wisanggeni's way of hiding his sorrow and anger.

Meanwhile, Nina, who has been sitting there, has been watching Wisanggeni took care of Fareda, her shoulders were starting to shake from crying. It turned out that ever since she was invited to sit by Wisanggeni, ever since Wisanggeni whispered in her ear and asked her to strengthen her heart, Nina saw everything, she saw every tear in her sster's body.

Wisanggeni brought a tray of water and clothes belonging to Fareda to the bathroom near the kitchen. The bathroom is used by the whole family to wash clothes. The rancid smell is very strong. Screaming filled his nostrils, Wisanggeni threw the water into the lid and flashed it. Towels and clothes Fareda rinsed with water many times. The rinsed water is thrown into the closed and flashed. Finally, Wisanggeni soaked the Fareda clothes with detergent. After that he washed his hands and got out of the bathroom and went back to Fareda's room.

When Wisanggeni arrived at the room, Nina was applying ointment to every wound in Fareda's. She started from the face and then to the rest of the body. Her face was still puffy but the tears had subsided. Wisanggeni looks a little relieved to see his daughter has stopped crying and is taking care of her sister.

The doctor came with the nurse when Nina finished applying ointment to all of Nina's wounds, "Doctor, I has cleaned her body and wounds and Nina has also applied ointment to all of her wounds," said Wisanggeni explaining. The doctor and nurse looked confused because in the eyes of the doctor and nurse, the girl who was lying was fine, only she looked pale. But the doctor's confused face turned into shock as his nose smelled the rancid smell of rotting blood and his eyes saw another reality. For a second his face looked dazed, "wasn't this girl fine a few seconds ago?" The doctor rubbed his eyes many times, while the nurse who was standing not far from him was shaking with a deathly pale face.

Nina who saw this approached the nurse and led her to sit down. "Don't worry, my sister will be fine, I've treated her wound," said Nina. Her's voice sounded frozen and expressionless in the nurse's ear. Nina smiled and tried to lighten the mood. But the nurse's face grew even more frightened. Nina inched from her place and took water. She held out a glass of water to the nurse and invited her to drink. The nurse looked doubtful but Nina smiled reassuringly. Finally the nurse drank the water. The nurse's face looked more relaxed after drinking water.

While the doctor looked awkward handling Fareda, he put in an infusion and gave an injection in the infusion. "This injection serves to help speed up the recovery of her injuries." Wisanggeni just nodded, his eyes barely blinking watching everything the doctor did. "Apart from his injuries, she is just tired and she should rest for the next three days. Please replace the infusion if it runs out. Or shall I ask the nurse to stay the night?” The nurse who heard the word 'stay' her body trembled again. For some reason, this wasn't the first time she had encountered injured people even more severe than this too often. But in Wisangeni's house, she felt threatened, she felt very uncomfortable. Since before entering the house, she was already feeling disturbed. She felt that this house had a very dark mystical aura. She seemed to see many black shadows coming and going to fence the house. For some reason she felt suffocated. Moreover, coupled with the girl who was lying. That girl really scared her.

"No need Doc, I can change the infusion myself," Wisanggeni's answer made the nurse breathe a sigh of relief. The doctor wrote down a prescription for the recovery and Fareda's injuries. After making small talk, the doctor said goodbye.

"Dad..., how about if i do not go to school today? Nina wants to take care of Mbak Ida." Nina's words made Wisanggeni dumbfounded. But then Wisanggeni smiled and nodded, Nina looks happy and hugs her father. "Saka too, also taking off today." Suddenly Saka and Magdalene were among them. The atmosphere that morning melted a little when they gathered in Fareda's room. Even though Fareda still lay helpless, at least she was with them. Magdalene also decided not to go to the office, and so did Wisanggeni. They took leave for the day. They gathered in Fareda's room, taking turns caring for her.
