Lucas is currently accompanying Hana on her content control. They already know the gender of Rin's younger brother, a boy. They have also prepared a name, Ren. Ren's name was chosen because the names of his brothers started with the letter R. Although in fact Lucas wanted to name Ren with another name that starts L like his family. Maybe later when there's Ren's sister.
“What does doctor mean?” Hana asked the doctor who was examining her.
“You can see here.” The doctor pointed Ren's leg at the screen.
Hana saw. Lucas saw. The doctor had just said that Ren's leg from the wrist down wasn't there. Ren's legs are stumped.
Hana and Lucas were struck by lightning. Hana was crying. All the way home, Hannah did not stop crying. At home, Hana was still crying. He went straight into the room. Rei, Rio, Lucy, Lukman and mama Berta who saw him were confused. They think there is bad news.
“Lucas ... What happened?” Lucy asked.
“Ma .. was Lucas and Hana saw that Ren's left foot from the wrist to the bottom is not there.”
Lucy goes straight into the room to meet Hana. Hana was still crying. It's no way he's gonna drop Ren. He didn't want that to happen either. Ren is arguably a child born out of love. But if Ren lives he will continue to be made fun of all his life.
“Hana ..” Lucy hugged Hana. He looked at Hana.
“Lucas said that Ren's leg ..”
“Excuse Hana, Ma.”
“Why are you sorry?”
“Hana has made mama shy.”
“Because of Ren's feet?”
Hana nodded her head.
“Why mommy should be ashamed. Ren is flawed. But Hana .. God gives us shortcomings. But mama is sure God will give an advantage to Ren. Don't worry.”
“What Hana should menggu-“
“Stop.” Lucy put her index finger on Hana's lips.
“Ren is still in the womb, but he can hear your words. Mama and Papa aren't shy about having grandchildren like Ren. Ren may be disabled but many people out there whose healthy body does not lack anything but his heart is deformed. Don't cry anymore. Not good if pregnant women stress.”
Hana is currently in desperate need of moral support from those closest to her. He feels a little calm.
Hannah thought and thought.
Did I eat something bad?
Did I do something bad?
But Hana didn't find the answer. He felt he was eating healthy food. He also did not do extreme sports or dangerous activities.
Rei and Rio came. Seeing that Hana was sad, they were also sad.
“Ma .. we pray, yes. May God love Ren the best." Rei leads the prayer. Hana and Rio clenched their hands.
“God ... There is currently bad news in our family. Our sister, Ren, has a defect in her left leg. Can Rei pray for Ren's left leg? Rei believes God can do it. Rei was sure of that. What is not, God can do it. Nothing is impossible for God. But if Ren had to be born with a deformed leg, give us strength, God. Give us strength so we can help Ren. Amin.”
“Amin.“ Hana and Rio said simultaneously.
Hana's heart was relieved. Even though he still thinks about it.
Lucas went into the room.
“Lucas ... Ii'm sorry. I'm embarrassing you.”
“First of all, we must accept reality. Second, technology today is very advanced. There is already such a thing as sophisticated artificial legs. It can even move like a normal foot. I've imagined Ren's legs will be admired by his friends.”
“I was afraid that Ren would be ridiculed for his feet.”
“We cannot control what others say. Whatever they want to say. We can control our hearts. We want to be sad. We want to laugh it's up to us. Even when we are sad, if we want to laugh we can.”
Hana smiled thinly. At the moment, everything is positive support. But the extended family of her father-in-law and perhaps her father would be ashamed to see Ren. But isn't Hana already crossed off the family card so her father's family is no longer related.
Mama Berta brought Rin in and put her in her baby box. Before leaving the room, Mama Berta hugged Hana.
Lucas then put Rin to bed who saw his mother. He was a child but he knew the meaning of the tears.
“Mama is not pa pa. Rin's sleeping. It's night.” Lucas patted Rin's tiny ass. But Rin did not go to sleep.Rin continued to see Hana.
“Lucas ... Bring Rin here. Maybe he wants to sleep with us.”
Lucas then takes Rin to their bed.
Rin looked at Hana.
“Rin can't sleep? Mama read the story first, yes.”
“Rin which one to read?” Hana picked up some story books.
Rin pointed to a storybook about earthworms.
Hana picks up a storybook created with illustrations by Ryu.
Earthworms rise to the surface of the ground and see the amazed feathers of peacocks that expand beautifully.
Beautiful ...
Earthworms see themselves as plain brown and arguably not beautiful.
On another day, earthworms saw a large elephant.
Steady ...
The earthworm looked at her tiny, long body. Which is easily trampled.
The other day, the earthworm saw a decomposing lion reveal his will as the king of the forest.
He saw himself again.
I'm ugly ...
Earthworms lamented for her.
"Hiks ... Hicks ... Hicks ..." Earthworms cry.
The owl who saw it asked "Earthworm, why are you crying?"
"Farrow of ghosts ... Why was I born this bad? Why was I not born with a feather as beautiful as a peacock, as big as an elephant or as brave as a lion?"
"Why should you cry? You should be grateful. Because there's you they can live?"
"I mean grandpa?"
"Because of you, the ground becomes loose. Plants can grow very well. Elephants and deer can eat plants. Imagine if you didn't exist. There are few or no plants at all. They could starve and die. Everything was created with its own intent and purpose."
Earthworms feel grateful. He can be proud. Because of him, the plants, the water and the sun, the animals he admired did not starve and could survive
I just have to be grateful and accept myself.
Everything is created for its own purpose.
I am not as pretty as red.
I am not as strong as an elephant.
I am not a lion either.
But because of me, the water and the sun, plants can thrive.
Earthworms eventually get into the ground to sleep.
When Hana finished reading it, Hana became aware. Ren may be defective. Ren might be ridiculed. But Ren also had his purpose and purpose when he was born in this world.
Hana pats Rin's tiny ass. Lucas is about to move the sleeping Rin to her baby box but Hana forbids it.
“Tonight I want us to sleep with Rin.”
The three of them ended up sleeping in the same bed.
