9 Hearts of a Child

"But before daddy gets married to someone else, bring back mommy Chiro first!" shout Chiro.

"Give me mommy back!"

Chiro again created the dishes containing the food.

"Chiro, don't be like this ...."

"I never asked daddy anything, but now I'm asking my mommy back. You're the one who made mommy leave me, so you're the one who should give it back!"

"I hate you. I hate you so much!"

Not only plates, cups and bowls were targeted. But also the antique jars that cost hundreds of millions of Elya's were also smashed into pieces.

"Chiro, calm down, dear."

Chiro was crying hysterically. He also kicked whatever was in front of him. Erlang and Arlan tried to calm down but to no avail. Evan helps, but the man is kicked in the shin by Chiro.

Elya and Jasmine smothered their mouths while crying.

None of them had ever seen Chiro like this.

"Chiro, why are you like this, honey?" ask Erlang.

"That's because I asked Daddy to marry aunty Jasmine. He asked Daddy to forget mommy Chiro!"

"Chiro, that's not what it means ...."

"Then forget mommy Chiro. If mommy comes back later, I'll ask mommy to forget about Daddy and marry someone else!"

Erlang's heart returned like it had been hit by a huge hammer.

"Chiro, it's not like that, dear ...."

Erlang was still trying to persuade the raging and hysterical Chiro.

"You're evil! You guys made mommy go and now forget mommy Chiro. I hate you guys, you bad you bad you bad!"

Erlang was already unable to hold back his tears.

Arlan, Evan and all the housekeepers who were watching were crying.

"Mommy, mommy, mommy ...."

Not long after, Chiro fainted.

"Come to the doctor!" shouting Erlang.

Some time later

Ikmal, Marcell and Vian who heard the news about Chiro came straight to Erlang's parents' house.

"Don't make him depressed, he's still very small to feel the problems you're causing."

The doctor gave the medicine to Chiro, because the boy had a fever.

"Mommy ... mommy ...." Chiro delirious in her sleep.

It's been three days Chiro's been sick. He did not want to eat, nor did he talk to Erlang. His eyes were just looking blankly ahead.

Erlang never went to work. Arlan and Elya were also worried.

Wildan, Ami, Anya and Vanya come to Arlan's mansion to see the state of Chiro.

"Chiro, aunty's coming with a toy. Chiro ate, huh?" said Vanya.

"I'm looking for mommy. Mommy must have missed me. I'd like to eat if mommy's gonna bribe me."

What else should they persuade Chiro?

"What really happened, why did Chiro get like this?"

"Leave me alone, leave me alone!" Chiro immediately pulled the blanket and covered her body.

"We'd better talk outside. Let Chiro rest."

They're heading for the living room. There, Arlan, Elya, Erlangga, Wildan, Ami, Anya and Vanya sat together.

"So, what's really going on?"

"It's my fault! I asked Erlang to start a new life and tried to open her heart to Jasmine. I think Chiro heard it."

"Who's Jasmine?"

"Secretary Erlang."

"Say, Doctor Aurel is getting married soon, huh?"

"Yes, on coming, yeah. Don't let it not."

"Let's just relax, Doctor, we're coming."

Since these few days, Naya's feelings were not good.

"Why the hell, Nay?" ask Monic.

"Not what."

"By the way. Where are our next scheduled visits?"

"To Pelangi's orphaned foundation and Mentari's nursing home."

In the foundation, they are tasked to conduct health checks and counseling to its residents.

They do medical check-ups, whether the children have serious illnesses or congenital diseases such as HIV AIDS and other venereal diseases.

Not all children are known of their origin. Some were left in the hospital because their parents could not afford the cost of giving birth, some were dumped in the trash and so on.

They could also be victims of sexual crimes, which resulted in them contracting the disease.

"Let's go brothers, check first, yeah. Don't be afraid, good doctor's aunt, really."

In addition to doing health checks and counseling, they also provide compensation, invite to play and sing.

"I'm looking for mommy!"

Chiro immediately ran outside the house without caring that it was raining heavily out there.

Erlang immediately chased after him. They're both raining.

"Chiro, don't rain. You'll be sick."

"I'm looking for mommy. I want to hug mommy."

Erlang no longer knew what to do. It's been a few days Chiro keeps calling her mommy.

Frey, what do I do now?

"Yes, we'll find mommy together, yeah."

Jasmine and Evan could only see the boy's father from afar. They came to Erlang's place to provide the files that Erlang had to sign.

"Do you know how Mr. Erlangga's wife is?" ask Jasmine.

He was no longer able to hold back his curiosity.

Evan did not immediately reply, but Jasmine continued to urge.

"I just want to know."

"I've known Mr. Erlang since college in Japan. He was very secretive, never telling his personal problems. He was always with Ikmal, Vian and Marcell. The first time I knew that Erlang had a child, was during the last semester break. I came to her apartment to take her on vacation and that's where I knew that she had children."

Evan paused for a moment, then continued.

"When college first, every semester vacation the four of them must have gone abroad. Whatever country and city they came to, and always brought Chiro. I used to think, what is the lifestyle of the rich. Even after Erlang led the company, he also often went abroad either for work or not. I finally found out, that Erlang took Chiro to travel a lot to find Mommy Chiro."

Yeah, not all this time Erlang never looked for Freya. It's just that he never found it. He, Chiro, Vian, Ikmal, Marcell, they never stopped looking.

"Is mommy Chiro still alive? Why is it so hard to find?" ask Jasmine.

"Jaga. If mister Erlang or young master Chiro heard it, they could be wrathful. You saw for yourself at that time how young master Chiro went berserk asking his mommy to be returned. If anything happens to young master Chiro, surely master Erlang will not be able to survive."

Two days later

Chiro is still crashing, even worse now. He locked the door of his room and did not let Erlang in. Erlang was getting desperate. It felt like the burden was piling up on his shoulders, making him unable to stand up straight and support his weight.

Saturday

Today is Doctor Aurel's wedding. Naya, Monic, Letta, Zilda and Kirei were already dressed up pretty.

In the wedding hall

The five doctors congratulated Aurel and her husband.

"Thank you, you've come."

"Doctor Aurel is so beautiful."

"Thank you, the five of you are also very beautiful. Come on, please enjoy the dish."

The reception was very lively with many guests. Of course, seminar participants who come from various countries are invited.

Not long after the atmosphere looked boisterous with the presence of Zion Melviano Willson, Alexa Elora William, David, Hannie, Kenzi, Kenzo, Ryu, Yosuke, Samuek, Malvin, Andre, and Aron.

They also congratulated the two brides.

"Good night Doctor Hannie, Doctor Yosuke," said the five of them to Hannie and Yosuke, who are also members of the seminar.

They chatted, not long after, several figures entered the ballroom.

Their hearts are racing fast.

Naya, Monic, Letta, Zilda and Kirei involuntarily tightened the ranks and joined hands.

In front of them, Ikmal, Vian, Marcell and Abraham's extended family and Zanuar looked at them with a heartbeat that was no less tight.
