Rachel carried her baby down the stairs, looking for her mother for help.
"Mother." Calling Rachel, she walked up to her mother sitting in the living room, reading a magazine.
"What's wrong?" Ask her mother in her lazy tone.
"Please help take care of Nana for a minute." Rachel Pinta.
"You're his mother, why should I take care of him? This bastard is the result of your own actions, so take care of it yourself. I don't want to, just look at it makes your high blood rise." Said mother.
Rachel sighed, she still stood there staring at her mother with a pleading gaze.
"Mom, I have to go to the supermarket to buy the baby's needs. So, please take care of Nana, just for a second." Pinta Rachel, she still hopes her mother will help her, even though the expectations are very slim, because she knows her mother will never want to help her take care of Nana.
"No." Mother says.
Rachel looked at her mother, and she passed. The girl is now truly a single mother who struggles desperately to raise a child alone.
After giving birth and going home, all that helped her take care of Nana in that house was Kenan. But, Rachel could not ask her step-sister for help. However, now Kenan is also busy with his college assignments.
Aside from Kenan, there was no one to help him. His stepfather also only cares about how bad it is, his birth mother attitude since she was pregnant had already considered it never existed again, and his own biological brother did not care about him too much.
Although he lived in a house full of people, but he was like living alone in a rented house.
Rachel walks out of the house, inevitably, she has to take Nana to go to the supermarket with her.
A taxi passed by, Rachel stopped him, then got into it.
"Please go to the Palacia supermarket." Rachel told the taxi driver.
"Good."
The taxi drove to the most complete supermarket in the area.
Arriving at the supermarket, Rachel pays a taxi with her e-money, then she gets off the taxi and walks into the supermarket with her baby in a sling.
The woman stepped herself onto the shelves of baby parts. He began to look at the number of nutritional needs that exist in every formula, as a mother who does not have a lot of breast milk for her children, he must be selective with formula milk which becomes milk companion breast milk.
Finished choosing formula milk, he pushed his shopping trolley to walk to the baby diaper section shelf which was also adjacent to the adult diaper rack.
There Rachel accidentally saw Ray's assistant holding one of the adult diaper products. Rachel frowned, what the man was here for and seemed to be looking to buy an adult diaper.
"Assistant Yohan?" Call Rachel, she's making sure it's Yohan or not.
Hearing her name being called, Yohan turned to her.
"What's wrong?" Yohan asked, not surprised when Rachel found out she was shopping for adult diapers.
"Eh it's okay, it's just that I accidentally saw you and ascertained whether I saw it wrong or not, then I called you." Rachel said, Yohan only responded with oh only. Then he refocused on choosing the size of the adult diaper.
"Who are you buying adult diapers for?" Rachel asked, for some reason she was so curious.
"My mother." Yohan replied without taking her eyes off, she remained focused on her still-moving hand to pick out the adult diaper.
"Oh to your mother."
"Are you buying your baby's needs?" Yohan asked, she turned to Rachel.
"Hm, yes." Answer Rachel.
Yohan looks for someone near Rachel, someone who might accompany her.
"You— did no one accompany you?" Yohan asked as she did not see anyone near Rachel.
"Yes as you can see." Rachel answered with a smile.
Yohan looked at the woman, when she saw Rachel, she remembered Alex's words that would never take responsibility and told her to cover up the truth.
Given her pity on Rachel, at a very young age, she has to struggle alone raising her child and becoming a single mother.
Yohan puts the adult diaper she wants to buy into Rachel's shopping trolley, then she grabs the shopping trolley from Rachel's hand and takes it to the baby diaper section.
"Let me keep you company and help you shop for the baby's needs." Yohan.
Rachel was only dumbfounded by Yohan's suddenly so kind attitude towards her.
"Hey, you don't have to help me, I'm fine, I can do it myself, I'm used to it anyway." Rachel said.
"Where do you want to buy?" Yohan asked, she did not care what Rachel said.
Rachel sighed and smiled, saying,
"That's what new born says." Rachel said while pointing to one of the baby diapers that had new born writing on the packaging.
"This?" Yohan takes the baby's diaper and shows it to Rachel.
"Yes that." Answer Rachel.
Yohan then put the baby diaper into the trolley, she accidentally saw the formula that Rachel bought earlier.
"You gave him formula milk?" Ask Yohan.
"Yes, since my breast milk doesn't come out much, the doctor said it's a natural thing because it's the first child, so to increase the need for milk, I have to buy formula." Answer Rachel.
Yohan nodded in understanding, then she pushed her trolley to the healthcare section.
"No, right now we're buying your needs. You take it easy, I'll pay for it for you." Said Yohan, he again chose vitamins and supplements and milk that suits Rachel's needs.
"Assisten Yohan, you don't have to do this to me." Rachel.
Yohan turned her head after she finished choosing and put everything she chose into the shopping trolley.
"If you're not comfortable with my good deeds, then let's just say I'm sorry for you." Said Yohan, he touched Rachel's forehead with his index finger, then passed towards the cashier.
Rachel walks after Yohan who has started paying for all the groceries.
After finishing paying him, Yohan approached Rachel who was standing not far from the cashier's place.
"Let me take her." Rachel wants to help Yohan carry the plastic, but Yohan immediately keeps her out of Rachel's reach.
"What kind of man do you think I am? How can I let a woman holding a baby carry this much groceries."
"But— "
"Here you go, just shut up and follow me. I'll take you home. Don't argue." Yohan.
Rachel just silently obeyed Yohan's words, then she walked after Yohan to the parking lot of her car.
"Come in." Yohan said as she put all the groceries in the car and opened the front car door for Rachel.
"Thank you." Said Rachel, who then got into the car.
Yohan closes the car door and walks to the side of the wheel, opens the door and goes inside, starts the engine, then drives it to Rachel's house, Ana's family home.
"Thank you for everything." Rachel.
"Hm." Yohan replied, who is still focused on the streets.
"I don't know, it turns out you're a good guy, really, really good." Rachel said again.
Yohan just kept quiet not answering the praise that was directed at her.
"Do you live in this area too?" Rachel asked, the girl was trying to melt the awkward atmosphere between them.
"Yes, I live in an apartment near the supermarket." Reply Yohan.
"Ah so yes. But by the way, you're like this, more like a human being huh." Rachel's Canda.
"Well, outside of work hours, this is what I am." Said Yohan who was starting to look relaxed at Rachel.
Rachel smiled, though,
"Oh yeah, you bought a grown diaper for your mom, is your mom sick?"
"Hm, my mom has dementia, it's been a long time. He's the only family I have." Reply Yohan.
Rachel smiled again,
"Now I will be the first to defend you if anyone else says you are cold and stone-hearted." Rachel. Yohan just smiled hearing that.
"You can smile too." Rachel said as she unintentionally saw a smile from Yohan.
Hearing that, yohan immediately removed her smile from her face, making Rachel laugh even more with Yohan's behavior.
"It's over." Said Yohan, he parked his car in front of Rachel's door.
"Ah yes." Rachel wanted to unbuckle her seatbelt, but it seemed like she was in trouble, seeing that Yohan was directly helping her. It makes the distance between them very close.
"It."
"Eh?"
"I've unlocked the seatbelt, you can get out now." Yohan.
"Ah okay." Rachel said, who got out of the car.
Shortly after Rachel came out, Yohan came out as well.
The man got out of the car with a hand that was holding full of several plastic bags.
"Let me take her to her room." Rachel.
"Show me where your room is, I'll bring it for you." Yohan.
"All right." Said Rachel who finally gave up too.
The girl then walked first in front of Yohan. He walked through several stairs, until he finally reached his room.
"Where are you going to be put?" Ask Yohan.
"Put it on the bed." Said Rachel while laying Nana's body in the baby box.
"I put it on your bed, then I'll go home." Said Ray.
"Wait a minute."
"What's wrong?" Ask Ray.
"Thank you." Said Ana with a genuine smile.
