Chapter 7 Stunned

Mom's and dad's looking anxious while waiting for Arifi operations. They holding hands but they looking better than before. I just sit besides there and waiting for lights on signage Operation to switch off.
After an hour and a half, the lights on signage off. Mom's and dad's get up from their sit and waiting for answer.
Finally a male doctor come out of the operation room. He who wearing a green clothes walk towards my parents. He said that the operations is successful and my brother was safe and in a stable condition. Mom's crying and saying greatful after hearing the answer from doctor.
We then instruct to the ward where Arifi was placed. We enter the room and see Arifi is lying on the bed. But he had come to his senses and smiled at our presence.
"Oh God Arifi, you are really making me worry."
Mom rush in and hugging and kissing Arifi. She rubs his face with her hands, while Arifi wipe tears from her face. 
"I always told you, please be careful. Please don't ride too fast. Thank god you still alive" Mom crying while hugging him.
"Use bike to commute, not to race. See what happen." Dad sigh while looking at Arifi face. Arifi just look down on his dad.
"Our son is not racing, honey. He is just destined to have an accident, what we can do." Mom try to straighten the wet thread, but it was true that Arifi often had illegal races with his friends. 
Dad just complained. He have agrees with his wife.
"Honey, don't squeeze Arifi's too hard. Don't you know he just finish operation?" Dad added. Mom seems not happy with that sentence.
"Hey kid, are you the one paying my bill?"
I'm shocks when suddenly Arifi talk about the truth.
My parents still do not know who paid for Arifi's hospital bill. I just look down and hoping mom's and dad's not asking about this.
"What are talking about, Arifi? He's still small, where do get the money from to pay your bill." Mom just smile.
"I don't know but earlier the nurse's said there was a little boy who paid the hospital bill. All I can think is Aidan, who else?" Arifi's added.
Mom's and Dad's eyes looked at me sharply. I just standing stiffly, nervous, and my body begins to sweating. What excuse do I have to give rather than telling the truth?
"Aidan? Is it true you pay all of this? How do you pay for it?” Ask dad. 
I'm swallowing my saliva. Truthfully I'm not willing to lie to my parents. 
"Aidan? Where do you get all the money? Are you stealing?" Mom added. She's getting furious when seeing me not aswer.
I immediately took out the magic brush that given by Mr. Razak. Mom's get up from Arifi side and getting more furious when seeing the brush that I'm holding.
"You still haven't returned the brush, Aidan? You really want to get hit!"
I jump behind when seeing mom's already walking towards me. She's already to chase me.
"Be patient mom. This brush is what made me able to pay the hospital bills.” I show the brush to them. Mom's stop to chase me.
The three of them frowned when they heard it. Mom suddenly laughed.
"Are you out of your mind? It's impossible that this stupid brush can create money.”
I take a deep breath. Then I pull out my sketchbook my backpack. I flip the pages and stop at a page with a drawing of a RM100 note. All eyes focused on me.
"This is crazy. My son is crazy." Mom's still laugh at me.
I look at them especially mom's who still can believe me. I then pull a RM100 note from the drawing in my sketchbook
All the eyes that look at me are amaze and surprised. They couldn't believe what they just witness. 
Mom's slap dad's face, meanwhile dad pinch her thigh. Both of them complaining of pain. Now they know that they are not dreaming.
"This brush is magical. What I painted using this brush, it will become real. This brush canmakes everything come true.” I demonstrate them again how this happen. I draw a line and then I pull the line at it's become real. 
"This is how I make money." I say.
The three of them were speechless when they witnessing this miracles.
"Are you kidding me??" Mom's almost fainted to digest what they just witness. Dad's hold mom's body to make her sure she's not fall down. 
"What happen here?" Intan who's just arrive shocks when seeing mom's fainted on dad's lap. She's then take a water bottle from a plastic bag that she bring and give to her mom.
"You wouldn't believe what we just witness, Intan." Arifi grinned at Intan. She's just frowns and confuse.
