I Need A Baby
Ch 1 - Elsa

Somehow, lately Elsa thought of "I want to have baby, wiht out husband" she wanted to have a baby but was lazy to deal with a creature labeled man. Given that there are so many irresponsible men who like to find their own good so that making women suffer without the slightest bit of guilt makes it a trauma to be tied to marriage.

"Mom, why? I suddenly wanted to have a baby, but I didn't want a husband." Elsa said half muttering. Actually he was serious in his words but no one seemed to believe him. Because every time he said that in a spoiled and childish tone.

"Oo, wong crazy!" Um Mom Fatty, one of Elsa's best friends who likes to love Elsa. But Elsa was not affected, smiling proudly because it made her best friend frustrated. He had indeed gotten used to the various crazy nicknames of Mom Fatty. Only Fatty dared to blatantly say he was crazy. Even Fatty has a favorite call for Elsa, Mbak Tho aka Mbak Gentho. The term for criminals in Java who according to Elsa is quite in accordance with him.

Yes, Elsa felt herself getting crazy. He really wanted a baby. A baby that is actually born from her womb. Even though Elsa has several children she cares for and she grows up wholeheartedly in her home. But it seems that it has not been able to satisfy the taste, Elsa still feels jealous if you see pregnant and breastfeeding mothers. Although Elsa's foster children love Elsa wholeheartedly, like their own mother, she feels like something is lacking.

Every time he saw the cute babies Elsa always felt anxious to eat it. Elsa even with her insanity often thinks of herself as pregnant and speaks with a grandpa in her stomach with children's language which of course does not exist. The friends around him were no longer even a problem with his madness.

33 Years old is old enough to be a girl. If he lived in the village would have been stamped as Old Virgin. But because he lives comfortably and happily surrounded by children, often he forgets age. In addition, his face and body shape that did not change at all, just as when he was twenty years old made others who did not know him often wrongly estimate his age. He was still like a spoiled and childish college boy. Not that Elsa never wanted to get married, but she felt traumatized to be in a relationship with a man because of three heartbreaks. To him, the man was an irresponsible being who only indulged in lust. Or a shameless creature, who feels himself already very responsible just by giving a little money for the cost of living. Even now many men are matre. Imagining life bound to such a creature really made her want to vomit.

"Edan ki yo crazy Tho, but sing normal wae!" Mom Fatty said that it means "crazy, crazy, but the standard ones" look back at her phone. It was as if Elsa's words were just a wind past. However, Mom Fatty, aka Mak Fatty, aka Tomblok, is very used to Elsa's madness. He was too tired to be surprised.

"When what kind of tube baby is mom?" Elsa asked back to tease Fatty, it was nice to imagine seeing Fatty so anxious and angry because of his chatter. Elsa also thought of making baby tubes. But for a variety of reasons, he has not found a donor that matches the criteria he wants.

"Your sister Thoo..." It's up to you Madam Thoo said Fatty giving up. Presumably he was lazy to respond to Elsa's chatter while focusing on his phone again. Making Elsa smile retreat, walking in search of a person she could tease again.

Seeing Nak Uu, the usually cheerful and spoiled 15-year-old lying helplessly in bed made Elsa want to tease him.

"Mothers... Sakiit..." Gerrutu Nak Uu's. For two days he lay weak in his bed. Elsa was sitting next to the bed watching the girl with a face full of smiles and enthusiasm.

"Eat it, if told to eat do not be difficult. It's eaten first, aaa..." Elsa said as she fed a spoonful of porridge to her mouth. His words were harsh, but his children knew it was a joke.

"Don't want mom... Pahiiit..." Knit the girl with a pampered face, making her look cute.

"Yes bitter, but must be forced to eat." Said Elsa while glaring. Even though Elsa had glared to scare Nak Uu but the child was still not afraid, the child was sure that her foster mother would not be able to really get angry with her.

"My tongue is bitter mam..." Nak Uu was still whining spoiled. I don't know what she wants, makes Elsa dizzy. From childhood, Nak Uu is difficult to eat and prefers snacking so that his body is smaller among his siblings.

"If you don't want to eat, don't doblag!" Threaten Elsa with a sadistic expression. Unfortunately Nak Uu himself has memorized the habits of Elsa, his adoptive mother will never be cruel or play hands to punish her children.

"But pahiit..." The boy's whining made Elsa want to go to extremes. Like tying the boy up and forcing his mouth open. But of course, he can't be cruel.

"You want, don't call the shaman mbah to be sprayed later." Threaten Elsa with teasing.

"Wouldn't... Mbah shaman his mouth stinks..." Replied Na'u with a spoiled expression.

The ringing sound of the phone made Elsa feel disturbed, she put the plate and raised the call. Elsa spoke for a while then returned to look at Nak Uu.

"Yes, if you want to keep getting sick. Mom wants to get out of town first. Nit, you force him to eat and take medicine." Nita who had been sitting next to Nak Uu happily received the plate from Elsa. He began to laugh at his foster brother.

Nita and Nak Uu. Same first class High School. Both are like twin brothers. Very fond of making Elsa dizzy with their behavior. Both schools are in different schools. Nak Uu who is serious about choosing a favorite High School, where the children of rich people gather. While Nita who casually chose a rule-free suburban private school, a school that contains children of the lower economy who do not care about students entering or not where most students have the slogan "school is not important, the slogan is not important, the important thing is to graduate". Actually Nita is not too stupid, smart enough in fact, it's just that she prefers to relax and have fun. Elsa herself does not matter with the various personalities of her children who seem to be difficult to manage, the important thing is that she has tried to give them the foundation of religious education, ethics, and responsibility. Elsa also did not demand that they obey the rules she had set. Because he realized children need freedom to be able to find themselves.

Elsa doesn't like to call her home a home. The house was located in the middle of an elite housing estate, like a typical home, with no orphanage identification board. No one knows if those who live there are orphans. Elsa herself does not like when her foster children are called or considered orphans. Because according to him, orphans often get different treatment, humiliated, underestimated.

Elsa tries to meet the needs of her children like children in general, even seem too pampering. He provides pocket money, food, branded clothing, helpers, private teachers, mobile phones, laptops, even private vehicles well even if only second motorcycles and bicycles. Since they were still wrong, each child was trained to be independent and able to defend. So Elsa doesn't worry if she's gone so long to finish her job.

Elsa surrendered, she had to leave for Surabaya today as well. There was a transaction he had to handle himself. Negotiations have reached an agreement, but not yet until the signature of the contract. Before leaving, Elsa took the time to go to the kitchen, even though there was already Ma'am Sa in charge in the kitchen Elsa did not hesitate to help and check the needs of her home.

"Mbak Sa, cook what?" Elsa asked to greet a woman in the kitchen. The woman was half a century older, but probably due to a slight mental retardation, until now unmarried. Unfortunately, even though her hair was all whitened, she was so diligent in painting her hair because she did not want to be said to be old, so Elsa respected her by teaching children to keep calling her "Mbak Sa".

"Boss, Boss, there's a boss!" Answer Elsa tickled. This one man really likes to ask for help and benefit everyone, not least his own boss.

"Oh my goodness, boss... Please boss!" Mbak Sa's expression was clear as if he was busy and persecuted.

Elsa did not answer, only muttering "Hhmmmmh" while carrying a basin of chopped vegetables to the turkey cage next to the parking lot of the motor.

After finishing feeding the turkey, Elsa took a helmet, she planned to take a motorcycle to the train station, put her motorcycle there and leave for Surabaya by train. Although Elsa is capable, she prefers to live a simple life. For him to get in a car and the plane was a waste. Unless you have to go outside the island or abroad.

Arriving in Surabaya. Armed with only his small backpack he stood by the roadside trying to block the truck. In order to preserve his hobbies are complicated, namely being a passenger truck. Because according to him it is a means of transportation that is free, safe, and can be to add friends. Don't ask how good the truck drivers are. There's a pretty girl who wants to ride in a truck. It was like a rabbit that loved to ride a tiger.

Of course, Elsa always gets the question "Aren't afraid of being kidnapped/raped/robbed/killed mbak?!" Or "Aren't you afraid to meet the villain Ma'am?" Of course, for normal people truck may indeed be synonymous with a driver who likes to get drunk. But Elsa always thinks positively, smiles and answers with humility.

"Wong iku ngunduh wohing pakerti"

That person will reap the good and evil that is planted. Or "Gali niku rak njih menungso, wong podho menungsone kok wedi." Criminals are human, fellow human beings for what is fear.

Or "Wong kulo riyin njih dig." I was a criminal too.

The trick that Elsa uses on average is quite successful in making the drivers amazed and reluctant, making her have many acquaintances of truck drivers.

This time, Elsa plans to stay at her uncle's house. For Elsa as long as there is still a home of friends or relatives who can live, for what pay more to stay in the hotel.

"Hey, Zidni.... Ziddaaan... " She screamed Elsa while running to her twin nieces who were playing on the porch of the house.

He immediately showered the two with a kiss. The refreshing smell of a baby can always make him happy. That's what made her want to have her own baby. But of course Elsa is still thinking about the risks if she has children out of wedlock. Can be blasphemed here and there, not to mention the view of the family, the adopted children. Elsa wasn't ready to bear her mother's disappointment until it happened.

Besides Elsa also does not want to have children whose seeds are unclear. At least the father of his son must be a superior seed. Not just any guy who likes her.

"Eh Elsa, when is it coming? What's up?" Greet a middle-aged man with half bald hair but his face is still quite handsome. His mother's sister was the one who knew him best and was close to him among his mother's extended family.

"Trail, Om." Trus ride the truck, Elsa said in her heart.

"Come in, when are you getting married?" Hearing that question, Elsa simply smiled wryly. Oh, no!! Is there no other topic?! grouse Elsa in heart.

"You are already three heads, if you have children, your 20-year-old son is no longer productive. Moreover, you are a girl, not good marriage too old." Om Qofal's advice is still a long one. But Elsa chose to ignore it, going in the mental left ear to the wall, rather than the heartache. Elsa was a little sorry, if she knew she would be in her uncle's omelette, then she preferred to stay in a hotel or at her friend's house.

In Elsa's heart replied, not once bulik also married at the age of 40?! Bullik can also have children. Who wants to be heartbroken three times?! It's painful to have a brother but like they don't understand him.

To calm herself down, Elsa always remembered the words of the late Mbah Yai "What I received today, that's what's best for you right now." Unfortunately, the words trap Elsa in the comfort zone so she is too lazy to work harder.

"How's your mother doing?" asked Om Qofal after seeing Elsa's increasingly unsightly face.

"Alhamdulillah healthy. Yeah, it gets the wind sometimes." Answer Elsa explained. Given her mother's circumstances, she is grateful that her mother did not force her to get married quickly. His mother also did not want Elsa to rush to marry a bad person. Yes, her mother was grateful that Elsa broke up with her last ex because of her bad behavior. So that Elsa who is already lazy to find a partner is increasingly comfortable with her situation that is completely free.

That night Elsa spent her time playing with her two nieces. Not to forget before going to bed he saw group chat and updates of his favorite novels LPN and JTI. Elsa is very salute with that person because the author can divide his time so that it is always updated every day.
