Discarded After Childbirth

Discarded After Childbirth
Chapter 30 - Deciding to Leave


During his time in the Gaza hospital so join, confused about what to do. Because what he wanted to do was always forbidden by Keanu at the behest of his mother.


"Udahlah Nu, after all there is no mama. I just want to check the report that came in for a minute. Just five minutes, not long."


"Can't be the boss. Madame Hani has already assigned me to watch over you."


Gaza breathed. To play mobile phones was not allowed for fear of Gaza's lack of care for the company. As a result, his entertainment in the hospital was just watching television. Where's the cartoon anyway.


"It's okay to call people, right, Nu?" ask Gaza again.


Keanu nodded. Then ask who will be called by his boss because he will call him.


The call is connected to someone. Apparently Gaza contacted his informant. Now he gets a little more information about David and Selena who had done a pregnancy program, but the results have not been successful.


The call stopped. Gaza thought about what he had heard.


Is it possible that they planned to have children from other women and claimed to be their own children? But what's the reason? If it's a matter of children being able to adopt in orphanages, Gaza thinks.

Every day Gea never changes. Make cakes at night until early morning, take a short break and then go around selling cakes and put them in stalls. Keep it that way.


Until finally, Ms. Endah came to see Gea in her rented. Both of them sat in the living room.


"When do you keep selling Ge? Is the money not enough for you to go to Jakarta?"


Gea shakes.


"Not yet."


"But, if you wait for the money to be collected, it must be a long time ago Ge. Mumpung your child is still a baby, and do not understand any adult problems, you better immediately go to Jakarta Ge. Instead of waiting for the money to be collected and not aware of the age of your child is big enough. He must have known the people around him. If you suddenly come, he will not choose you, because you are never in his childhood memory and are not in his life. I talk like this, looking at the experiences of some of my friends."


Hearing that, Gea came to mind as well. But what will happen in the city?


"Remain assured, that sustenance will surely come to you Ge in a way you never expected. I am also sure, there you can also sell cakes like here. You said you had friends there. He definitely wouldn't let his friend be miserable."


Gea was getting more thoughtful. Should he go to Jakarta soon? It is true, if you wait he has a lot of money to pay his debt to Gaza, for the cost of hiring a lawyer later, it takes a long time.


"Gea will try to think of you."


"Thank God Ge. Mom says so because you don't want to do the same thing as a mother friend whose child doesn't acknowledge her mother. Because he thought his mother had left him. Not suudzon, I'm just scared."


"Yes, Miss Endah, thank you for always caring about Gea. Always give Gea advice and advice. If Gea is already in Jakarta, Gea will never escape all the goodness of mother."


Bu Endah nodded even though the middle-aged woman was also sad if Gea had to go to Jakarta. During this time, Gea has always been a longing antidote to her children who are far away. But, if Gea stays here, that's not good either.


The two continued to talk. Ms. Endah also helped Gea to wrap her cake.

Surely the news that Gea will come faster to Jakarta makes Gaza happy. The man had been discharged from the hospital, so prepared a room for Gea temporarily before the woman found a place to stay.


Mama Hani who saw him was a little suspicious.


"Who wants to stay home? Why do you have to step in your own hands to clean the room? There's a maid in the house."


"Ih, mama ngagetin tau no," said Gaza while stroking his chest in surprise when his mother suddenly came and voiced.


"Later Gea will stay here for a few days, Ma. Continues tomorrow also seems like Gea goods from Malang will reach home. Please secure it, Ma."


"You're forcing him to come to Jakarta immediately? Did you introduce her to mom and dad?" ask Mama Hani.


"What? No Ma. Gea's in Jakarta it's important business, Ma. I told you, Gea just thinks I'm her best friend. I've never said I like Gea either. So, mommy won't say anything about it."


"Depends" replied Mama Hani.


"Will your own child, when you don't want your mom to do it anyway?"


"Ck, you're a child so often not horrified mama's words."


"Yes, I'm sorry Ma. Not again."


"Yes, now say it. But don't know tomorrow."


Only the grimness of Gaza.

The day that Gea was leaving arrived, he said goodbye to Bu Endah and several other mothers who always helped him. Sad cry and haru became the accompaniment of Gea's departure. It's really hard to leave people who are good to him. The environment there was already comfortable for Gea. Although there are bitter memories as well. But, because there is also Gea so strong now and so a more independent person even though still whiny and easily touched his heart. It's just a matter of feeling, Gea still closed it tightly.


The love he once gave completely to David, as if now so numb from disappointment. If you say it has moved on, it seems not completely, Gea sometimes still likes to remember the good treatment of David to him. But he remembered his bad treatment even more. It only takes time to forget and forget everything.


Gea waved her hand when she was already in the car. After the car drove far enough away, Gea closed the windshield and cried silently. Her tears keep falling. His comfort will soon disappear. It is impossible if his life is not difficult if in Jakarta, especially he will be reunited with people who have made him suffer.
