My babysitter Maduku
Chapter 9

"really?" In a hurry, Arini took a peek from behind the glass curtain and yes, there was a cardboard box of instant noodle marks lying there exactly as said by Dodi.

"You're right, Mas. And it looks like the baby's crying sound came from the cardboard box" Arini continued.

"You wait here, let me check it out. Okay?!" dodi said as she touched both Arini's shoulders and looked at him closely.

"I'm coming" said Arini.

"Don't! I'm afraid this is just a trap, honey. If something happens to me, I can still fight back, but what if something happens to you? I don't want that, you better wait here" Dodi replied very seriously.

Arini finally complied. He nodded his head slowly and let Dodi unlock the main door.

"Be careful, Mommy." It is clear in the look of Arini's face that he was really worried about Dodi at that time.

"Yes" said Dodi as he walked out of his house and approached the cardboard. While Arini was watching at the door with an anxious face.

Dodi crouched down and watched the contents of the cardboard. He saw that there were two cloths covering something inside. Slowly Dodi opened the bedong cloth and saw a tiny baby who seemed to be exhausted.

Dodi looked around and wished that someone would know about the cardboard. However, no one was seen around the place. Even the security guards who often patrolled around the complex, there was no visible trunk of their nose.

Not finding anyone around the place, Dodi finally refocused on the baby. The baby looked exhausted because he kept crying. In addition to thirst, the baby also looked cold. Dodi did not have the heart to see the tiny baby and finally he decided to bring the cardboard into his house.

"What's it all about, Mom?" arini asked confused because Dodi brought the cardboard in at a fast pace.

"It's a baby, honey. Look at!" sahut Dodi while opening the bedong cloth that covers the baby's body.

Arini's eyes were wide. The beautiful dream he had just experienced, had finally come true. She grabbed the baby and hugged him tightly. "Maybe God left a baby for me" he murmured while shedding tears.

Arini seemed disappointed to hear Dodi's words, but she could still understand because what her husband said was true. Arini watched the tiny baby in her arms. He smiled and kissed the baby many times.

"If the mother of this baby does not want it, let Arini take care of this baby yes, Mas," said Arini.

"Yes, Honey. Of course," replied Dodi.

In addition to containing two sheets of bedong cloth, Dodi also found a small box of formula milk complete with a pacifier that is also small. In addition, there are several sheets of baby clothes that seem new and also a piece of paper that says a date. The likely date of birth of the baby.

"This baby's a girl, Mas. Look," said Arini with a smile while looking at Dodi.

"really? Take a look at this, honey. This baby is only three days old" Dodi said as she showed the piece of paper to Arini.

"Oh, my God! Why do I want to pray evil, yes" Arini muttered as she looked at the poor baby who was sleeping in her arms.

"Pray evil, how?" ask Dodi wonder.

"I want to pray, I hope the mother of this baby does not really want it. Let me continue with him" said Arini.

"Basic!" sahut Dodi hugged Arini and put her warm kiss on the top of her head.

While Arini and Dodi are happy to have a baby, Ms. Nining is still asleep in her room. The middle-aged woman did not even know that her son and daughter-in-law had found a tiny baby on the porch of their home.
