DAMNED GIRL
14. CONDUCIVE

Without thinking about it anymore, Ms. Nina took me away from Grandma's residence, she would take me to Puskesmas which is quite close from around our village.

The afternoon was accompanied by the scorching sun that started to sting our skin. But even so Bu Nina still did not hesitate to walk even though she carried me.

A few minutes into the journey we finally arrived at Puskesmas

Nina's mother asked the guard who was there so I could get checked out by the doctor

"Mother, please have this child checked as if he has a fever" he said

But the guard answered flatly without looking at Ms. Nina, she instead remained busy writing her big book

"But I'm sorry, ma'am, the doctor's out for a while. Later you can come back again or want to wait" he said

"How can the doctor not always be in his place" complained Ms Nina

The guard is still writing

"The doctor is also a man ma'am, he can also have other interests. Just wait if you want to" he said

"No one represents ?" ask Miss Nina

He still continued to write without looking at Ms. Nina "There, but Midwife" he said flatly

Miss Nina was upset to answer

"Cong, midwife. She has a fever and does not want to have children. After all she was a child where she might be pregnant" she added

Finally the guard turned to Bu Nina for the first time and then gave the last chance to Bu Nina to choose one

" Want to wait for a few minutes or want to be examined Midwife right now ?" tannya

Nina's mother was silent then thought for a moment "Are he able to help ?" tannya

"Can" he said flatly

And in the end I was examined by the Midwife, but even though we were just the two of us he just kept quiet when he checked me my eyes kept glued to his left hand which had a pretty big incision scar.

After being examined with a stethoscope tool, Ms. Midwife finally invited me to talk.

"Your heat has gone down, but you have to eat a lot of fruit, vegetables and fish a little meat and milk. Oh yes, do not forget also later the medicine is taken" he said

I just nodded without making a sound

Midwife looked at me and looked at me from head to toe, and she still talked to me

"Whose name are you ?" tannya

"Andhira, ma'am "I replied

Madam Midwife fell silent and looked at me with a glaring look, I could see her eyes glazed over

But I don't understand why he's acting that way

"Who's mother's name ?" tannya

"Official" I said quickly

"Your father's name ?" tannya

I shook my head "I don't know"

"Why ?" ask again

"I've never met Dad" I replied

Midwife smiled but still clearly visible if both eyes stem the tears that she keeps so as not to fall scattered

Then he touched my shoulders tightly

"You've grown so big, and you've grown so beautiful" she said

I who do not understand what it means, at all prefer to be silent without answering anything

"You can go home now, take care of your health. You must be diligent in learning and can not think of the ugly talk of others, you will certainly be a big person" he said

To be honest, I still did not understand the meaning of his words, but I finally left the room and went to see Ms. Nina

Then we went home together

For a while, Ms. Nina took me back to her house.

Arriving at his home apparently Mira has returned from school and has been sitting in the stall

"Well, you've come home ?" said Ms. Nina felt guilty

But Mira did not show her anger instead she remained relaxed sitting on a long wooden bench that was deliberately provided in front of her stall.

Even Mira greeted me

"Hi, Dhira !" he said happily

"I'm sorry, I was at Grandpa Dhira's house used to run out to Puskesmas as well. Sorry Mira" he said apologizing again

"Yes Mom, I'm okay. I just arrived too" he said

Not long ago Bu Nina opened the door of her house finally Mira and I were welcome to go inside while Bu Nina reopened her coffee shop.

Mira immediately invited me to eat together even though she had not changed her school uniform

"Eat the yuk Dhira" he asked

But at the same time, Miss Nina came

"Change the uniform first, Mira. After that you can eat with Dhira" he said, then after taking a glass of drinking water from the kitchen and then back again into his stall

Mira according to "Iya Bu" he said then rushed to his room

While I waited for him in the guest room by sitting on the floor as usual.

Ms. Nina came back again and prepared lunch for us, she put opor tofu and mustard vegetables without soup as a side dish. Then spooning the rice on our plates until finally Mira returned from the room with clothes that had changed

Mira quickly sat beside me and immediately ate very well.

Apparently from inside the stall, Ms. Nina monitored us eating let alone seeing Mira eating like a new person knows rice

"His food, Mira" said Ms. Nina

But this time Mira did not obey the words of her mother who was very kind, she continued to chew a lot of food in her mouth until her mouth became round and she also became difficult to chew it.

I who saw his behavior so laughed amusedly to see his ridiculousness

"Haha"

Hearing me laugh so, Mother Nina looked at us.

And I still laugh seeing Mira's action. How not to laugh, his face so funny if the way he eats so.

At the same time there are buyers coming, this time not the one yesterday. Today's buyer is a sultry-looking Father

"Buy coffee, ma'am, brewed drink here" he said while sitting facing the table attached to the stall

"Oh, well then I prepare first yes" said Bu Nina

"Siipp, don't be long" he said

"Siip, sir" he said while processing his merchandise coffee

Not until minutes finally brewed coffee made by Bu Nina landed in front of the father.

"Thank you" said the father even though it was presented in front of him

"Yes sir. Please choose sir. There are kinds of biscuits, fried foods and crackers. Just choose which one" said Bu Nina offering

"I want to fry it" choose the father while picking one by one fried food and then he put it on the plate of the coffee base

"Yes please sir" said Ms. Nina.

While sipping his coffee, he asked Bu Nina to speak

Exactly talking

"Mom, Mr Suki died huh ?" tannya

"Loh, you just found out ?" ask Nina

"Yes, I just got back from town. Clothing shopping for trade. Know-know my neighbor said he had served from the house of the late Mr. Suki. Though I was passing in front of his house was quiet" he explained

"Oh so, yes sir. If you want to treat it later after drinking coffee you can go there. Might be buried soon" uca Bu Nina

"Well, how do you know ?" tannya

"I have also been there" said Ms. Nina

"Oh yes Ma'am, I really have something I want to ask as well" he said a little awkward

Nina's mother immediately accepted it "Oh, please Sir want to ask what ?" tannya

"Wow, actually I don't feel good like this" he said even confused to ask or undo it

"It's okay sir, asked only.as long as it does not harass certain parties I can still accept" he said

"Mmm, the problem of his son Lasmi"

"Why is it with the boy, sir ?" ask Nina again

"Is he really the son of the devil's curse and the unlucky bearer, so because there he is his grandfather so bad luck until the accident ?"

Hearing her, Nina's mother was silent
