Whose baby is this?


Hanum stared at the dark clouds followed by a wind that blew very hard after he came out of the room of his guidance counselor that afternoon. The weather in the city of Bandung a week ago is quite bad if it is late afternoon as it is today. Hanum could already guess what would happen in a moment. What else if it is not heavy rain that will soon fall and it will return to rain to its boarding house which is two kilometers from campus.


"Hanum, why are you still here?" The voice of Hanum's tutoring lecturer who had just walked out of his room shocked Hanum.


"Agh, yeah. Mommy." Hanum.


"It's getting darker and it's gonna rain soon. Now you better get home so you don't get rained on the road!" The decree of Bu Shanty, Hanum's lecturer and dean at the faculty, he studied.


Hanum nodded his head and said goodbye to Ms. Shanty to go to the parking lot. Shanty ma'am agreed and looked at Hanum leaving from before him.


"The boy instead of going home daydreams first." Ms. Shanty shook her head and headed for her car park.


Hanum is now in his motorcycle parking lot. He opened his motorcycle seat and removed the coat from the motorcycle seat. Hanum immediately put on his coat and helmet and turned on his engine and drove it at medium speed to his boarding house. Although the rain has not yet fallen but Hanum is ready to stand by with a pastel pink coat attached to his tiny body.


"Well, I'm rained!" Hanum said as the rain began to fall soaking the coat he was wearing.


Hanum increased the speed of the motor to quickly reach the cost. Some motorcyclists who were in line with him seemed to pull over because the rain began to fall rapidly but Hanum chose to keep pushing his bike to his cost. After all, Hanum was already wearing a coat on his body so there was no longer any reason for Hanum to stop with the other bikers.


"Finally there." Hanum breathed a sigh of relief after arriving in front of his boarding house. He opened the coat he was wearing and hung it in front of his room. Afterwards Hanum went into his boarding house.


Without a second thought Hanum immediately cleaned his sticky body after a day of activities on campus plus exposed to rain while on the road.

"Like a baby's cry." Hanum said after stopping reading the novel.


Oek


Oek


The sound of the baby's cry was getting clear and loud. Hanum immediately got up from the bed and stepped towards his boarding door. When the boarding door opened, Hanum was surprised to see a tiny baby in the basket in front of his boarding house.


"Whose baby is this?" Ask Hanum. Hanum looked around. There was no one seen around the cost other than the motorbike driver who passed by.


The sound of the baby's cry getting louder made Hanum immediately approach him and took the baby from the basket.


"Whose baby is this? Who put it in front of my room?" Hanum asked as he looked at the tiny baby pity in his hand.


Do not want to think much Hanum immediately brought the tiny baby who was cold into his boarding house and did not forget to bring the baby basket.
