My Love Sleeping Beauty's
Maratha Septin Aura
A beautiful little baby crying in front of the door of an orphanage. The caretaker woke up to the sound of the baby crying. He walked towards the front door, when the door opened no one was seen. The caretaker circulated his gaze, but there was no one. She looked down and found a beautiful little baby crying. The caretaker crouched down and picked up the baby.
"Hello beautiful!." greet the caretaker as he pinches the cheeks of her bully with anxiety. The baby stopped crying when held by the Home Manager.
He was still circulating his gaze hoping to find the person who had placed this baby in front of the door of the orphanage he managed. But the result is still the same, empty.
He then lifted the bag of the baby who participated when this baby was placed. Then shut the door back. Then several other children and women came out to him who were still holding the baby.
"There's another baby, ma'am?" asked someone in their 30s with their eyes still rubbed.
"Hmm" he answered without looking.
The caretaker woman of the Orphanage was named Mother Dance, she was beautiful and very gentle. Mother Dari never said rude or angry to her children. He loved them even though they were not his children. But Mother Dance considers children that are not needed by her family is a deposit from God and it is her mandate to take care of them, give affection to them, and give life to them. the caretaker and the children called her "mother".
"Here let me be the fat one, bun". bargain that woman who is also the nanny in her place.
Mother Tari gave the baby to Mother Citra, she then checked the contents of the bag that was tipped along with the baby.
In the bag, he got 2 sheets of baby diapers, milk powder stored in a jar, a baby pacifier is still warm, baby photos, 3 pieces of baby clothes, baby clothes, a buttoned brown envelope and a white envelope.
Mother Tari gave baby pacifier to Mother Citra so as to minimize to the baby. "This gives her, she must be hungry" he said giving Ms Citra a pacifier.
"Mother sure?." Ibu Citra hesitated a little. He was afraid that this milk had been made long ago.
"The milk is still warm, and that means it's new. And maybe the person who left this baby has prepared it," he explained again while paying attention to the envelope in his hand. Then Mother Citra drink milk on the baby was silent and continue to suck it.
"Mother, dede the baby is beautiful. Whose name is it?" asked a 5-year-old boy named Danang to see a baby carried by Citra.
Ms Citra replied, "Not yet, but we can call her a baby" she replied.
"Ashiikkk, we have a baby dede," added another child whose age is below Danang by showing his rare teeth happily.
"Take them into the room, and put them to sleep again." he ordered Citra gently.
The image stood up and took the children back to the room. "Andang, Amel went back to yuk's room!" he asked.
"But we want to see the baby, ma'am?" whined Amel.
The image commented with a smile, "Kan dede the baby came into the room as well." she explained carrying the baby into the room along with Danang and Amel.
While they entered, Mother Dance continued to check the contents of the bag. Then she opened the brown envelope. He took out a piece of paper with a Birth Certificate from the baby. Then he found another piece of paper containing a hand-written letter. Then he opened a white envelope containing several hundred thousand banknotes as many as 20 pieces.
Mother Tari frowned, she was still confused by the parents of this baby. "When she can give this much money, why leave the baby in the Orphanage" she shook her head slowly.
He opened the hand-written paper and read it.
**For a kindly Orphanage Manager.
Earlier I thanked him for accepting my son with pleasure. I realize what I'm doing is wrong. But I've thought things through well.
I hope you can give sincere affection to my son Rere. Well, I gave her the name Maratha Septin Aura. And I called my baby with Rere. I'm not a good mother to Rere nor to my neighborhood.
I gave birth to her because she had already grown inside my womb. But I could not care for and raise her in my filthy, sinful environment. I'm handing my baby over to you in order to grow up normally, to be able to have genuine affection. At least one day he would not feel ashamed if he grew up in the Orphanage environment when compared to my place.
I don't know who the father of my baby is, so I can't hand him over to his father's family. Because of my job, I can't demand one of them as my baby's father. And I also don't have a family that can take care of my baby if one day I'm gone. For that I decided to give it to you. I don't know how long I'll live because after giving birth to baby Rere the doctor sentenced me to a deadly disease. Maybe this is the result of my job as a money-luck-off man.
Please take care of my baby, give him a decent life. Give him love because I can't give it.
Once again I thank you for accepting my baby. Tell him I love him so much.
From the mother who gave birth to Maratha
During the reading of the letter, Mother Dance felt pity and a water drop fell on her eyes and rubbed. He can't hold it anymore. Citra's mother approached her after putting the children to sleep.
"Mother why cry?." Ibu Citra frowned seeing Mother Dance cry. Ibu Tari gave the letter she had read to Ibu Citra immediately took it and read it too.
"Great pity on baby Rere, bun" he commented after reading the letter.
"But at least baby Rere knows his mother, even though it's just a name" Citra added
"But why should she leave her baby at the parlour if she herself can look after him".
Mother Dance raised the corner of her lips, "That's how we're a woman. Too many tasks, moral burdens and rules in society are demanding of us. Whatever we do there is always a view that thinks it is wrong. But in our smallest corner that's the truth" she began to explain her perception of the contents of Rere's baby letter.
Mother Tari turned her head for a while then exhaled softly, "Wrong indeed. But it would be more wrong if she still insisted on taking care of her baby there. In an environment that this letter says is not good. Rere's mother doesn't want her baby to follow in her footsteps, despite how much she keeps him away. You know that a person's character will be formed from the surrounding environment." Citra nodded in understanding with the explanation of Mother Dance.
###
The Orphanage residents were very pleased with the arrival of their new member. In turn they keep baby Rere, invite him to play. Rere's baby is the youngest member of the family after 4 years and 3 months old Amel.
Amel is very happy because he currently has a sister. "Amel finally had a baby dede" she said with a glittering look as she gently pressed Rere's baby nose.
Danang was also happy, because the three of them were the youngest members of this family. "Mas Danang, now Amel has a sister. Mas Danang must also take care of the baby!" said the little boy gave his little finger and greeted by Danang with pleasure.
Mother Dance and Mother Citra saw their innocent behavior shed happy tears. "The world is so innocent. Their happiness is very simple," commented Mother Citra embracing Mother Dance.
Baby Rere is now 4 months old according to the Birth Certificate given by his mother. And Baby Rere has also been living with them for 3 months. Baby Rere grows up to be a beautiful and adorable baby. Danang and Amel often invite him to play, and chat. Larger family members take turns looking after them.
Only Rere's baby has the identity of the other family members. And every month his mother sends the same amount of money every month in an envelope supplied with a letter and always tucked under the door.
They never know who the mother of this baby is, there is actually a desire in the heart of Mother Dance to find out her mother. "Mother, should we go to the hospital where Rere's baby was born. They must have data and information of each patient right," suggested Ibu Citra.
"I had also thought about it, but.." Mother Dance's sentence hung her expression like hesitation and fear.
"But why mother?."
Mother Dari bowed lethargic, "I'm afraid of being disappointed if I find out her mother" he said. Ibu Citra rubbed Mother Tari's back as if flowing her spirit to him.
"At least we know who the mother of baby Rere is. If one day he grows up and asks his parents we can tell him. About when the baby will accept it or not, we just have to wait how it ends." Bright Mother Citra and make Mother Dance to consider it.
After the talk, Ibu Tari thought about the future of Rere's baby. I don't know why she loved the baby so much and wanted to raise her. She doesn't want the baby Rere being adopted by the new family.
At the hospital Ibu Tari and Ibu Citra waited in the doctor's room who handled the birth of the baby Rere with anxious feelings. Then not long a nurse came along with a female doctor whose age was not much different from her.
"Sorry mom has been waiting a long time, I had a patient who had just given birth". said the Doctor Mother after sitting in her chair.
"No problem doctor, we understand". replied Mother Dance.
The doctor opened a folder containing all his patient data. "I've heard from the nurses that you came to find out about the baby girl who was born in September. May I know why you want to know?." asked the doctor.
Mother Tari sighed, "I am the owner of Al Mukarram Orphanage. It just so happened that three months ago a baby girl was tucked in front of the door of the parlour." then Mother Dance recounted her meeting with baby Rere and also the remittance from her mother. The doctor heard carefully the story of Mother Dance.
"I agree with the baby's mother's actions, because it's better for her baby to be cared for in the Orphanage than to grow up in a bad environment that might make it worse.
Mother Doctor then showed a photo and identity of the mother who gave birth to baby Rere to Mother Dance and Mother Citra. "It just so happened that she gave birth to me who helped her. Kirana's mother told me the truth back then if her job was a prostitute and she lived in the neighborhood. She also said that she did not know which male seed made her pregnant. But because she was already pregnant, she did not want to kill her child. So Kirana's mother decided to give birth to her." explained the doctor in detail. He also gave the address of the woman working.
Mother Dance accepted it and while reading it she already knew what place it was. "Then why didn't she stop and decide to take care of her own baby?." now Citra's mother asked the doctor a question.
"That question I asked him. He only replied if he couldn't do it, because it would be suicide. If he stops, then the consequences of the baby being born will be his successor later if his age can serve men. He doesn't want to be like himself. He hopes his son gets a decent life."
Ms Citra responded, "That's what she wrote in her letter" she said
"Then why did she just leave her baby after a month?" asked Mother Dance again inquisitive.
"Yes, it means he has brought the child in his neighborhood to live," Ibu Citra added.
The doctor's mother smiled faintly, "Color during that time her baby was in staying here on the grounds that she didn't have the money to pay the cost. And during that time he was looking for a suitable Orphanage for his son. Then she found the mother's place, and then she came to make up for the baby." the Doctor explained.
Mother Dance and Mother Citra nodded in understanding from the story of the Doctor Mother. They were silent to each other with their thoughts.
After everything was clear they said goodbye and returned to the Orphanage. No more confusing questions in the mind of Mother Dance. Now he has an answer if one day the child grows up and looks for his parents. The money deposited by Kirana's mother (March's Mother) every month she keeps it for the child's needs. Until the age of Martha stepped on 5 years, not least the envelope and letter from Ibu Kirana to Maratha. But in the last envelope there were so many letters to Mareth that they were written to give to my son every birthday until he was 18 years old.
Ibu Tari and Ibu Citra obey the mandate of Ibu Kirana. They get information if Maretha's parents also died because of uterine cancer he suffered after giving birth to Mareth.
