Mr.Prass: "Oh Ok. Take care and have a nice day."

Karina: "Nice day too Sir. Bye (Directly paddling his bicycle to the north)."

Today is not common day I felt. I come to campus by a little late and I didn't meet a friend whom I need to see her. Then after having class at the afternoon as usual I have to teach my students in one of English private course. Extended time is what I need this evening since my students need to have more time for their examination tomorrow. So finally I will be at home by late also. I don't know why I loose my little concentration this time. What on my mind is daddy, daddy and daddy. Maybe, since I didn't be at home after having class so I couldn't see him. Indeed, lately my daddy's condition is not good as usual. I think it happens because he doesn't get a good treatment in his bad condition. Definitely, I am on the top of worry state.


10.13 p.m. I have just arrived at home. Immediately I come to my daddy's room. I feel there is a thunder without a rain, there is quake without a disaster. The lamp on the sky turns to be so black and dark. What makes me so shocked is finding my daddy sprawling down on the floor and the wheelchair is toppled nearby the door. I do want to scream loudly but my throat tend to be choked. And my eyes, my eyes will shed the tear flood. The food that I bought for my daddy's dinner comes a copper uncounciously. My body is trembling, my lips are muttering and my mind is puzzling. "Oh God, what's going on today?." I try to be strong as an ox, take a deep breath and carry my daddy away to the bed.

This time is almost midnight, the time is for people taking a rest, so I can't ask a help to them. I get out of my house, run and try to find any kind of transportation that can take my daddy to a hospital. It seems so hard. In this time, when I couldn't do anything yet I must do everything. The taxi surpasses the place where I am standing but I can't ask to take it, ofcourse, since in my mind I don't have enough money to pay the bill. It's better to use the money for my daddy's treatment then. No public transportations pass in this route. My neighbors have no car that can be rented by me since no one has a car in my area. Finally I decide to ask a pedicab driver to take my daddy to a hospital.

In one a private hospital in Yogyakarta nearby my campus, I take my daddy about having a medical treatment this evening. Another problem is I have no any kind of medical insurance that will ease everyone to get free treatment in a hospital. My prediction, indeed, it will spend so much money to get it. By belief, I come in to the hospital and try to find one of nurses whose turn to maintain the hospital this evening while my daddy is still sitting on the pedicab in the front of the hospital fence. I meet onenurse and she ignores me to ask her help without showing a medical insurance card and let me to report this to the receptionist of the hospital. Immediately, I visit the information desk to inform about my daddy's need and condition.

The fact that it's not easy as I can imagine to get the medical treatment. When I report that I need a help to treat and cure my father, the first question given by the receptionist is where the medical insurance card is. This what makes me so confused. I try to negotiate to the receptionist, telling about my needy condition, explain about my urgent need. But in fact, this doesn't make him willing to help me except I have to complete all the requirments and the payments. Absolutely I couldn't  do that. But there is such kind of remission from the hospital but it contains many things to be registered and it opens from 8 a.m untill 4 p.m. I have to wait untill tomorrow.All that I can do is just keep praying and hoping.
