SURROGATE MOTHER FOR TWINS
19. Decisions

Ever since losing track of Alin, Delvin pursued guilt. He cannot find Alin because there is no identity of the girl that he can make to trace Alin's whereabouts.

Delvin became more reserved and was always struck by a sympathetic pregnancy. He was so lazy to eat unless he ate spicy food.

Since Alin was pregnant, Delvin was more cynical to women. At least he is not interested in knowing any woman because his memory is only on the beautiful face of Alin. It was as if the girl had already locked her heart so as to lose some sense to the other girl.

Delvin's feelings begin to change for other women, since Alin gave birth to her twins whom he left behind.

Back to Alin. During her pregnancy, never once, Alin checked her pregnancy to the doctor or to the village midwife.

He only drank the milk of pregnant women and also special medicines for pregnant women sent by his twin brother from Jakarta.

"Quick you out of my womb, that way I can be free and start my life again.

Live with others who will take care of you, may you be destined to meet your real father. And let's just say I'm dead."

Alin said without wanting to wipe his stomach like pregnant women in general.

Her pregnancy is now almost nine months old. Every morning he was walking in the residential complex where Eca was boarding with her friends.

Every morning he saw Eca always leaving for the puskesmas with his motorbike. He began to find out about Eca from the vegetable maker who always went around the complex.

"Non what are you shopping for..?"

"I want this chicken and this gurame fish, mas."

"How many pieces are they cut?"

"Four only mas. I want to make roast chicken."

Alin tried to be friendly to his vegetable brother while observing Eca who was heating his motorbike.

"How many pieces are they, non?"

"In the width of the bang, I also want to burn the fish."

Alin turned his face away when the Eca motor had already passed from before them. Eca honked her motor horn at the vegetable maker as a form of saying goodbye to the vegetable subscription.

"Mas! In that house there are many things that cost. And the girl who just passed by was working where did you?"

"Oh that..! Those medical students from Jakarta are again doing KKN here. And that girl, she's on duty at the puskesmas. But sometimes like to help people if they are sick again.

Very good people never refuse if in the community to seek treatment in called to their homes even though it is already midnight."

Said Abang greens and then gave Alin's groceries.

"Thank you, my!"

Alin gave five hundred thousand for his vegetable brother.

"Non! This is mostly the payment." Said Abang Greens while counting the money.

"Take it! Please pray that my delivery will be smooth."

"Alhamdulillah, God willing! I wish you good luck, not at birth."

Say Vegetable brother with teary eyes.

Alin smiled and brought his own groceries on foot until he reached Ijah's aunt's house.

Alin has decided to make Eca a surrogate mother for her twins.

"Non! that's what?" Ask aunt Ijah who was sweeping the yard of her house.

"Oh yes aunt! Please cook grilled chicken and grilled fish for me!"

Alin said then sat on the front bench of aunt Ijah's house.

" Non Alin wants what breakfast..?"

"I'd like to have a aunt's milk. I'm lazy breakfast, I'd like to eat grilled fish."

Said Alin while fanning his very sultry body.

Aunty Ijah and her daughter cleaned fish and chicken to be processed at Alin's request.

Although Ijah's aunt returned to the village, she always got her salary that Alin gave her every month.

...----------------...

At about eight o'clock in the night, Alin's stomach began to contract. He tried to calm down while glancing at his clock so that it could be more night giving birth.

Alin who at that time wanted to go to the maternity hospital and wanted to give birth alone asked Aunt Ijah to tidy up a bag containing baby clothes and also her clothes.

She wants to go to Eca's rented house to ask the girl to help her give birth.

"Auntie! I'm going to the hospital first. Aunt Ijah will follow suit."

"Non want a cab?"

"I've called him through the app."

"Good non. Careful yeah!"

That night Alin asks for a taxi to take him to Eca's rented house. Alin had already knocked on the fence several times but there was no response from within.

"Why is the house so dark? Are the residents asleep?"

Alin murmured while rubbing his waist which felt very painful.

If I give birth in the hospital, they'll take my baby and I won't know where my baby trail is.

Auhgh! Oh my God I can no longer step on my feet like numb."

Alin could no longer move his body because of the contractions that continued to whack his abdominal and waist muscles simultaneously.

Eca who had just returned from treating one of the residents' houses gasped to see the body of a pregnant woman in a bad state.

(Alin's birth process can be read in chapter 1)

After giving birth, Alin immediately left the maternity clinic leaving money and a baby bag for Eca. He had also prepared a paper containing a message he had written for Eca.

When he saw that Hanum's midwife was not in place, Alin immediately left the clinic by riding a passing motorcycle in front of the clinic.

"Please take me to the taxi base."

"Non good!"

With the taxi, Eca asked to be delivered directly to Ahmad Yani airport. He booked a plane ticket to Soekarno-Hatta Jakarta airport.

The panicked faces of his parents Alin when he heard his daughter disappeared and did not give birth at the hospital he told Ijah's aunt.

"How could Ijah's aunt, Alin just disappear? Did she give birth at the clinic and take away her child?"

"Come madam! We can't go through all the clinics because there are so many clinics here."

Ijah's aunt's words made Arini's mistress even more frustrated.

"Based on a bad girl! Always making a move. I will not accept your twins as my grandchildren if you bring them to this house.

Take them away from our lives and never appear before me."

Umpat mistress Arini who is still thinking about the reputation of her family's big name.

Almost two Weeks Alin stayed at a Jakarta hotel before leaving for Australia.

Luckily he brought all his personal documents so easily went abroad without informing his parents.

"I'm sorry my baby! I was a lousy mother again a coward. I'm ready to be hated by you someday. May you grow up healthy with your surrogate mother.

I'm sure your mother will take care of you as best she can. I'm not taking you from him. It's my decision."

Alin said as he wiped his tears.
