The Fortitude of a Mother
Miscarrying

Herman pondered, thought of everything.About his dreams, about his life, also about asep and enema, his two favorite parrots were stolen by people.Herman remembered very well, his struggle for the sake of getting the two parrots.However, his beloved parrot was stolen,herman never remembered the child he had left behind, while still in the womb.

"Dreaming on sir? think about what?" rohanah emerged from inside the house, with a cup of coffee and a plate of boiled yam in her hand.

"Khm, I don't think what mom, just sad again.Remember the same sweet and asep" said herman short, traces of sadness he can not cover.

*FLASHBACK*

The sun had risen, the air was feeling hotter.Herman who was planting coffee seedlings also felt hot, then he decided to take a break for a while in the ranggon saung he made in that place.When he was resting his body, then he decided to take a break,heard the whistling of a bird that is so beautiful in the ears of herman.Herman settles and continues to scout.

"Ah, very good bird.The sound is also beautiful" muttered herman.Herman was still cool to see the bird, and it was seen that the bird entered into the gap of a large tree that had fallen.

"There seems to be your nest," he murmured again.But for now he will not disturb it, he just watched from a distance.

A while herman continued to pay attention to the bird, until shortly afterwards the bird flew out of the big tree.With a high curiosity herman stepped closer to the carcass of a large tree in front of him,he looked down and looked into the hole of the tree, and how surprised herman was, even he fell so shocked, it turned out that in the hole of the tree there were two chicks, flanked by many venomous animals.

"I must have the two chicks, I will try to take them away.If you have to bother" he murmured.

With a swift herman back to the saung ranggon and prepare material materials to repel the venomous animal, he immediately prepared pandan leaves, and,mash pepper and slices of cayenne pepper.After everything is ready herman brought it to the carcass of the tree, then deftly he dug a hole a little bit deep, then,right in front of the crack of the tree, he piled a dry and wet twig and immediately set it on fire, a thick smoke burst into the tree,seeing that herman rushed to sprinkle slices of cayenne pepper pandan leaves and pepper powder that he had pureed, towards the venomous animal that flanked the two chicks.Then he immediately moved away, while paying attention.And sure enough, to be sure,soon the venomous animal came out of the crevice of the tree, as if disturbed by all the actions of herman.

Herman smiled happily, he went up to the tree and immediately took the two chicks.

"Finally you are mine, I will take care and love you with all my heart" herman stroked the elus two birds.

*FLASHBACK OFF*

"Haahhh." herman breathed heavily.

"Assalamu'alaikum" someone said a greeting.

"Wa'alaikumussalam," the spirit rushed to open the door.A man of herman's age stood before the spirit.

"Herman is 'nah?" ask the man

Rohan nodded and immediately invited him in. "Who?" ask herman.

"The neighbors of our village first" replied rohanah, Hermann also immediately met him.

"Sardi..., how are you?"

"I'm good man, and I just got back from my hometown, and there's something important I want to tell you" Sardi's face turned serious.

"What's the sar?" asked herman, Sardi reached into something in his pocket and handed it to herman.

"This.." herman was stunned, his hand tightly grasping the black-and-white portrait that Sardi gave.

"Yes, that's your son and mirah.The son you threw away in the womb, the poor boy who never knew his father's appearance, the son who never knew his father's affection.When I came home,I deliberately met disah and moses, hoping to meet with mirah, I want to know his circumstances after you dumped them years ago, but unfortunately I did not find mirah at moses' house, did you herman? mirah was remarried after her divorce from you, and ratna Manggala grew up to be a beautiful and adorable daughter, even though she never loved her real father, she said,but he gets a big and sincere affection from his father" said Sardi at length

"Ratna manggala...? murmured herman, with a distant look of eyes.

"Yes, that's your daughter's name herman.Now she's in elementary school, at least that's the information I get from disah and moses.Let's say this, I'm still your relative.And I really care about your family,I was deliberately looking for information about your son and mirah, I wanted to know their situation after you first dumped them.

Herman stared at the photo in his hand, a beautiful and cute princess was holding hands with a graceful woman full of charm, the corner of herman's heart felt pinch, a tear escaped just like that.Personious feelings rippled into the cavity in his chest, he,so he felt tight.Herman hit his chest he felt so tight so sick.

"Are you sorry herman?" sardi squinted his eyes.

Herman just nodded, he could not make a sound of tightness in his chest was pressing, herman could not speak.

"Go home man, meet your son.Remort all your mistakes" sardi advised.

Rohanah who had eavesdropped on the talk of sardi and herman was just silent, his hands clenched tightly his chest rumbled when he saw herman so regret his actions, leaving his family first,afraid herman leaves him and returns with his son and ex-wife.

"Father sir amir, it's been a few weeks, did pak amir not know, his wife is pregnant?" ask doctor.

Amir only shook his head weakly, he felt guilty.He felt he had failed to become a husband on standby for mirah, he felt a cry, unconscious tears just melted on his cheeks.
