Call Me Mama

“What, doc? Pregnant?” clara's mom still can't believe what she's hearing.

The doctor saw confusion on Clara's face.

“Em... Yes ma'am. Fortunately the fetus in his stomach is okay – what,” explained the doctor again with a deeper and narrowed eye gaze.

While Ajeng's condition after receiving treatment from the doctor, he had begun to realize. Ajeng who had fainted became confused because he saw a nurse who was treating a wound on his forehead.

“Sus...” greet Ajeng while watching the sisters who are doing their duty.

“Thank God you are aware..” said the nurse with a thin smile. “You are only injured in the forehead, ma'am. Your content is also okay,” more details.  The sister fixed the blanket for Ajeng after she finished putting on the bandage.

Between believing and not believing, hearing the sentence that she was pregnant, Ajeng rubbed her stomach. Not yet seen bloated or there is movement of life signs. But lately Ajeng felt there was a change with him. Especially when it comes to Bimo. His feelings of worry and jealousy increased. But what can be done if Bimo prefers other women. The woman Clara probably coveted as her daughter-in-law.

“Ajeng...” greet bu Clara after opening the door of Ajeng's ward.

“I'm sorry, buk..” said the nurse while looking at Ajeng and bu Clara. He started to walk out of the room after he was done with his task.

“Thanks, sus,” says bu Clara.

Now there is Clara and Ajeng in one room. Ajeng who had just come to his senses from his stupor still felt a little dizzy. His body also felt weak. But Ajeng tried to get up from his bed.

“Ajeng..?” bu Clara walked over to Ajeng. “You what? You have to rest,” said Ms. Clara while pushing Ajeng's body slowly to relax the body again.

I don't know why Ajeng felt uncomfortable being near Clara's mom. He still remembered the words of Ms. Clara who compared herself to a woman who was meeting with Bimo at this time.

“Tante, em. said the nurse, the wound on my forehead was only a minor wound. No serious injuries,” said Ajeng. He used all his strength to get out of that bed. “I think this is the right time to go home,” said Ajeng by removing the hand bu Clara from his arm.

“Means?” ask Clara confused.

“Mumpung no Bimo, I want to go back to my house. Let aunty more easily match Bimo with the aunt's choice of women,” said Ajeng with a thin smile. “I realize my aunt, my family is just a simple family. My career...is also not as good as the women in the photo that aunt showed.” Ajeng felt relieved to be able to show his firmness. “From the first time I was sincere to release Bimo, aunty child. These few weeks I stayed with Bimo because I didn't want to hurt Sasa. In addition Bimo also locked me in the apartment,” explained Ajeng further. “I'll excuse you, aunt. Greetings to Sasa... Hopefully Sasa happy with the new mama candidate choice aunt.”

Painful as it is, the sentence came out of Ajeng's mouth. Bu Clara again grabbed both of Ajeng's arms.

“Ajeng, but... You are pregnant now..” between bu Clara trying to stop Ajeng's intention to leave.

“Ga pa pa, aunty... After all, the ideal aunt's daughter-in-law whose seeds are the same weight. I am just a child who comes from a simple family,” Ajeng replied with his calm attitude.

“You mean? You don't want Bimo to be responsible for the baby growing in your belly?” ask Clara with her tense face.

Ajeng sighed softly while smiling knots.

“Honestly, I was really upset to see a photo that was shown between Bimo and the woman who was with Bimo at this time. But if indeed the aunt agrees and blesses the relationship Bimo with the woman... What can I do..?” timpal Ajeng was still being polite. “Better I retreat relented.”

Apparently Ajeng's last sentence to bu Clara was heard by Bimo.

“What are you doing?” tanya Bimo stared at Ajeng snatching into the conversation between Ajeng and his mother. “What does the doctor say, ma?” ask Bimo. He embraces Ajeng's waist and pulls Ajeng's hair behind his ears.

“Ajeng just a forehead wound, Bim. The doctor said the wound was not bad. The condition of the fetus in Ajeng's stomach is also fine,” replied Ms. Clara.

Bimo who heard that sentence from his mother became delighted.

“You pregnant baby?” tanya Bimo began to wrap Ajeng's face. “Finally our efforts give results,” timpal Bimo again. Bimo began to hug Ajeng tightly evaporating his happiness. He pecked Ajeng's forehead in front of his mother full of love. “Let's see a doctor. I want to make sure about your health condition,” invite Bimo.

Ajeng thought Bimo would turn away from her because of another woman. But seeing Bimo enthusiastically check with the doctor, it seems that the assumption is wrong.

They were discharged from the hospital after hearing the doctor's explanation.

“Bim, mending you take Ajeng back to the apartment. Let mama who bought the prescription medicine Ajeng,” said Ms. Clara.

_________

Arriving at the apartment, apparently Sasa had returned from school.

“Mommy...” greet Sasa after Ajeng into apartment. He hugged Ajeng quite tightly. “Head mommy why? Pain?” ask Sasa.

“Sjust a little wound, baby. Most soon healed,” answered Ajeng who then crouched down to hug Sasap back. “Sasa have eaten? Eat yuk! Let mommy bribe,” invite Ajeng. He took Sasa to the dining room.

Finish eating, as usual Ajeng will invite Sasa to take a nap. But this time Ajeng did not take a nap because Ms. Clara came back to give medicine from a doctor's prescription that she bought.

“Ajeng, this mama also buy clothes for pregnant women,” said bu Clara who then gave a bag containing many clothes shopping.

A slightly frowned upon hearing that sentence. Not a lot of clothes that make Ajeng wonder. But the word ‘mama’ that came out of the lips of bu Clara is what makes her wonder.

The word ‘mama' was heard Ajeng again. That's a sign he didn't hear wrong. In fact, in the past, Clara ma'am had bullied her in public places not to call her ‘mama’.

“Thank you, auntie,” said Ajeng by taking the grocery bag.

Bu Clara felt clumsy when Ajeng called her ‘tante’.

“Ajengc... Emm... You are now pregnant with my granddaughter... I want you to call me mama,” pinta bu Clara with her clumsy attitude. He felt uncomfortable being in the current situation.

Hearing Ms. Clara's words, Ajeng was actually quite happy. But given the events of the past, Ajeng did not want to repeat the same thing that might hurt him again.

“Em... Aunties... Not that I refused aunty's request. I do contain future aunt grandchildren. But until now, I was just a stranger in a aunt's family. Me and Bimo have nothing to do. I do not want to be presumptuous to enter the family scope of aunt who is socially higher than my family,” reply Ajeng. The words felt sternly felt by Clara.

Bu Clara realized she had hurt Ajeng's feelings enough.

“Ajeng..” Bu Clara grabbed both hands of Ajeng. “Mama sorry yes... Mama knows, you hurt your feelings. Mama wants us to start all over again,” pinta bu Clara trying to touch Ajeng's heart.

“Em... Aunty should not feel guilty. I feel more comfortable calling her aunty. As long as I and my aunt have nothing to do, I do not want to behave or expect more,” explained Ajeng still kuekeh with his stance.

Bu Clara thought, there is a point also Ajeng behaved like this time. It is possible that events in the past have incised wounds for Ajeng.

“Ya... Let mama talk about this to Bimo,” said Ms. Clara.

Finally, Clara came out of Sasa's room, leaving Ajeng to meet Bimo.

“Bim... mama wants to talk to you,” said bu Clara while glancing at Deni. Coded the secretary out of Bimo's study.

“You say what, ma?” bimo asked after Deni came out of his study.

“When do you want to apply Ajeng to his family?” ask Clara ma'am.
