AAI 81 - Mother's Association
Santi and Agus waited outside the examination room with uneasy feelings. They waited for almost an hour, but there was no sign that the door would be opened.
'Save my daughter, O God. I was willing to exchange it for my life though, ' Santi's mind as he walked here and there thinking about the princess inside.
"Sit down, don't pacing there. At the sight of many people," reprimanded Agus to Santi who had been busy walking here and there. He was so agitated, hoping to be anxious about the child's condition. Santi who heard Agus' words immediately turned his head.
"Why is that, huh? I'm worried about Melinda. He's all I have. How can I calm down to see my daughter lying weakly in there, huh. Don't equate me with you, if you don't care about Melinda it's up to you. Because you still have other children outside the house" Santi said with his cynical eyes. Agus sighed, even though he was used to Santi's harsh words, but he was still an ordinary human who could feel saturated.
"Enough, Santi. Why do you always corner me in all trouble," said Agus fed up. He was sick of always hearing insults coming out of Santi's tiny mouth on him. Right at the same time, the door of the intensive room opened. Agus and Santi ran over to a doctor who came out of there.
"Doctor, what about my son's condition, doc?" Santi asked the young doctor first.
"Mother and Father are calm, the patient is past his critical period. For a while the patient will remain in this room. If the situation is getting better, then it can be moved to the hospital room." Doctor's talk. Santi and Agus were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. The worries they felt were now gone, replaced by a sense of gratitude extended to God because by his grace Melinda was able to get through her critical moments.
"Thank God,"
Both Agus and Santi recited words of gratitude because of Melinda's improved condition. The doctor smiled, because he had managed to restore the smile of the patient's parents.
"Can I see him, doctor?" Ask Santi. It was so bad he ran inside and gave a warm hug to Melinda, for her struggle to get back together with her family.
"Later on, Mom. For now, let the patient rest first. Because I also give sedatives so that patients can sleep longer." explained the doctor.
"Good, doc. Thank you very much" said Agus, extending his hand to the doctor. It was with great pleasure that the doctor welcomed Agus' hand and replied to him.
The next day, the,
Hesti who did not want to eat chose to buy warm porridge sold next to the intersection of the alley entrance. On foot, Nesti got there for about five minutes.
"Her crowd," gesti murmured as he looked at the few people who swarmed the porridge merchant. Most of those who buy are complex mothers who enter into the event.
"Eh, there's Jeng Hesti." Said a mother in green. A few others turned their heads towards Hesti. With a slightly forced smile, Hesti walked up to them.
"Yes, Jeng Rini. Buy porridge too?" Ask Hesti. The two of them were seen whispering to each other, and it caught the attention of Nesti.
"Yes, Jeng." Reply mother named Rini.
"Wrap two, Bang." Hesti said to the porridge seller.
"Ready, Mom." Answer the porridge seller.
While waiting for his order to be made, he suddenly heard the whispers of two of them talking about him.
"True, the two are fighting each other. Do you know, it turns out he cheated on her with his men." Answer the other one.
"What is it that you are right? Don't play just talk, it'll be slander." Sahut.
"Ih, you know. I saw it for myself, let alone it turns out that her daughter was not her husband's son." Tell one.
"Astagfirullah, that's so cheap." The other law.
It was Hesti who felt like she was trying to hold herself back. Both of his hands were already firmly clenched, restraining the emotions that were controlling him. How not to feel, their gaze occasionally glanced at him who was sitting not far from them.
"Don't be loud, he'll be heard." Other lawful.
"Leave it, after all, isn't he ashamed to leave the house? If I were him, I wouldn't dare to appear in front of so many people."
"Yes, yeah. Basic, shameless."
Hesti who could not stand it anymore immediately got up from his seat. The chair he sat on until it fell backward because of it.
"You guys are talking about me, aren't you? If you dare not whisper," hesti accused with his index finger pointed at them. The mothers immediately kissed hearing the voice of Hesti who looked angry.
"This is Mom, the order." Said the porridge seller while giving a bag of black plastic to Nesti.
"Thank you, Bang. Here's the money" said Hesti and gave him a piece of twenty thousand.
"Thank you too, Mom." Reply to the seller. After that, Hesti hurried to leave the place. But just a few steps, he again stopped when his ears heard the voice of one of the mothers.
"Not everything that looks good is valuable, yes. There are times when it turns out that only cheap goods are wrapped with expensive cloth." Said the mother. His ears seemed to feel hot when he heard it. He knew that if there were mothers gathered, they would talk about everything, but did not expect to be so bold as to talk about it in front of the person they were talking about.
Instantly, Hesti turned around, staring intently at the faces of those who were talking about him.
"You, Laras. Your mouth is as sharp as a knife. Don't you remember prostrating at my feet when you wanted to borrow money from me, huh?" Hesti asked one of the men named Laras. At that time Laras came to him to borrow money, then he gave it even though he himself also needed the money. But because Laras was his friend in Arisan, hesti borrowed it.
The woman named Laras immediately looked down in embarrassment. He was embarrassed to discover that the others had borrowed money from Hesti. Even though the money he used to pay for the arrears of the motor he used.
"And you, Wisdom. Don't hide behind your headscarf. You don't think I know that you have a relationship with your daughter-in-law, huh? I'm Hesti, I know all your secrets. Why am I silent, because I consider you my friends and I don't like to talk about your disgrace. But since you're all talking about me now, then I'll expose your rottenness as well." Suck a Nesti at them. When they were instantly frightened, none of them were holy. And they can only bow their heads. Moreover, Wisdom and Laras, both to the point of trembling because of the disgrace they had been covering were revealed.
"Pardon me, Jeng. I-I didn't mean to talk about you" said one of them.
"Just look at you. If I hear any more of you talking about me, then don't blame me for exposing the disgrace of all of you to your husbands" Hesti threatened them. He doesn't mess with his words. After saying that, Nesti immediately left all of them behind. With a feeling of annoyance, the woman returned to her home.
