The Incomplete Love

The Incomplete Love
The Pest of Wereng


Nine months passed, Hanna with her big belly had already taken a leave of absence from the pesantren. He led the construction of Rumah Sa’adah to a team led by Ella.


Her body fattened with her pregnancy. Often the woman felt insecure but her husband even more lustful to her. Moreover, that frightening cravings period was over.


In early pregnancy, Hanna could not get close to Dicky at all. Even just hearing the sound of his motorbike, he was vomiting.


Dicky was only able to enter the house after Hanna entered the room. Once upon a time, he forced his way in and Hanna vomited so much she had to be hospitalized.


For three months, Dicky could only roll and bite his finger. All the cells in his body want Hanna, but his wife even looks bright cheerful if there is no him.


Dicky would often roll out a mat in front of Hanna's room only to feel close to her already sound wife behind the door.


Once in the second trimester, things turn around. Hanna became incredibly spoiled. At the boarding school he could shed tears if Dicky was in the operating room and could not pick up the phone.


One nice thing is that Hanna's passion is really on the rise. Every night Hanna always asked for rations, not even reluctant to be a leader in bed games.


Dicky really enjoyed those days. He also did not want to lose and offset all the styles practiced by his wife. Each night, the two are immersed in the pleasures of the world's paradise that make them worship and need each other.


The third trimester, Hanna's passion is no longer tempestuous. Stomach that began to grow, making him start lazy to move. Dicky was the one who guided Hanna because he could not miss the night without sipping the sweetness of romance.


Aira, Latifah, and Fatimah can't wait for the baby's dowry. The position of the poor baby transverse and genital closed makes it difficult for doctors to determine the gender. Hanna and Dicky have to go to town to get a four-dimensional Ultrasound.


Although now their financial condition has been more stable with Dicky began to participate in the surgical procedure, but eventually they decided not to find out the sex of their baby.


Aira, Latifah, and Fatimah want a baby girl. Kala who feels that Aira's sister is his sister also wishes Hanna's son is a boy.


Like her brother, Aira was very happy with the birth of the Bungsu Zahra who was called Zee by her brothers. Abby often sends photos to Aira.


Hanna was preparing a maternity bag when the door was knocked hard. From the window he saw Eliza with a song face in front of the door.


“Assalamualaykum, Aunt.”


“Mana Dicky?”


“Mas Dicky to pharmacy buy diapers for birth preparation.”


“Hmm. Tell him I need him to check on Karenina.”


“Later I convey.”


“Send him to come to my house. Karenina doesn't want to go to the hospital or clinic. Her face was damaged from trying too much make-up.”


Hanna sighed patiently. Keep beristighfar face the pest of leafhopper in front of him.


“Tante, Mas Dicky now holds more surgical field than skin. And now because he is deepening the field of oncology surgery, Mas Dicky's schedule is very solid. Would Karenina be found by a dermatologist near her home?”


“Ck, just do my command. You sok tau wife!” Snap Eliza.


“Tante! I just said for Karenina's good,” replied Hanna trying to suppress her tone. She is pregnant, she must be able to maintain emotions so as not to affect the baby. I read about it in a book about pregnancy.


“Talk a lot, already get a drink,” reply Eliza with ketus.


Hanna went to the kitchen, just how many steps she felt her body was stretched and hit the edge of the dining table.


“Innaalillaahi!” Hanna tried to hold back but her stomach was stuck in the corner of the table. Hanna grimaced in pain.


Eliza did not help but sneer and left Hanna who felt sick to the crown.


“Please ... please ... groan.”


Cold sweat drenched his body as it endured the pain. His knuckles were white because they held back the pain in the abdomen.


“Laa ilaaha illallah,” his heart continues to call tahlil sentences. He thinks maybe this is how it feels if death picks up.


Hanna put her head on the floor. The pain continued to whack incessantly. He has given his fate. Tears flowed, mirroring the faces of Dicky and Aira. His hands touched the stomach and stroked as if strengthening the baby to continue to survive.


Many dreams are not yet real, countless are still unachievable to build a happy family.


At the point where he could no longer endure such intense pain, he heard his name called. Then everything was dark.


Hanna wakes up in a room. His eyes blinked against the light. Aira looked at him anxiously. Latifah and Fatimah stood beside Aira. The three of them recite prayers. On her bed chair was Ella who also read the verses of the Qur’an.


“Ma,” says Aira soft.


“Ai, where is this?”


“Hospital, Ma.” Aira smelled at her mother's cheek. While Latifah and Fatimah hug Ella while looking at Hanna who still looks pale.


“Why are my legs ba’al?” Hanna asked, then her hand touched her flat stomach.


“Bay?”

Dicky was sitting in front of a police officer who was taking his account. With red eyes he answered the questions asked.


“When did you last see your baby?”


“After being taken out of the operating room. I followed him to the NICU because the baby was born prematurely. Once in the NICU, a nurse told me that Hanna dropped and needed a transfusion so I went back to the operating room. That was the last time I saw my son, when he walked into the NICU.” room


The nurses were also interrogated. From the CCTV they saw someone in nurse clothes and wearing a medical mask removing the baby from the incubator. The nurse put it in a glass box and was taken out.


From CCTV the nurse walked down so that he could not recognize his face. Moreover, the mask is used up to half the face is covered.


“Mas,” says Hanna from wheelchair. Dicky turned his head and rushed straight to Hanna.


“Sorry, Hanna, I can't take care of our son.”


Hanna stroked the dense hair on her lap. Dicky was crying. Hanna's heart aches after Ella tells her that the hospital is panicking about the disappearance of Dicky and Hanna's baby.


“Can Hanna see CCTV where our baby was last seen in NICU?”


Police opened the tablet and played a video of the footage.


With tears in her eyes, Hanna watched the tiny baby girl sleep in the incubator when a nurse moved her.


Both of his hands shut their mouths. The baby was born at thirty weeks. It is risky to move it from the incubator. Aira hugged Latifah and Fatimah. Ella was shocked to see the incident.


The video continues as the nurse walks down the corridor and disappears in the back shed. From there the CCTV lost track.


“Can be played again, Sir,” pinta Hanna.


“Hanna, no. You must be healthy right.”


“Mas, our son needs everyone's help to find him. I don't want to just cry in my room. In shaa Allah, Hanna .. Hanna strong.”


Tears run down Dicky and Hanna's cheeks, but they'll both be strong enough to find their child. Dicky nodded at the police to play the video again.


They pay close attention, still the sisters they do not recognize the movements.


“Most likely this is a syndicate of kidnappers newborns,” said police made Hanna and Dicky's heart melt.


“Mama, phone from Aunt Qiara.”


“Assalamualaykum Mbak Qia's. Hanna beg for mercy. Ask for mercy. Everything Hanna did to Mbak Qia now Hanna was natural. Hanna gave birth prematurely due to a fall, then now Hanna's baby is missing. Hanna was really asking for mercy. It feels like life is uprooted.”


Hanna straight away. All she was going through now was the suffering that Qiara had once endured.


“Waalaykumussalam Hanna. It's been, it's been, it's all been over. Like Qia said, everything is forgiven. Now what's up?”


“Hanna just saw the CCTV camera, Hanna did not know who the nurse was .. the nurse who took Hanna's child.”


“In this case you should suspect everyone. Who was the last person you met, or is that you have someone who doesn't like you.”


Dicky and Hanna immediately sat down.


“Eliza!” Answer them in unison.


“Mas, Hanna recalled, before passing out, Aunt Eliza came to ask you to check on Karenina. Astarghfirullah's. Maybe she pushed Hanna. It feels like dying. “.


Hanna's eyes looked at Qiara in horror. “Mbak, that was how it felt when Mas Thoriq pushed Mbak because of Hanna. O Allah, astaghfirullah, astaghfirullah.”


“Hanna, Hanna .. Focus. Ma'am Qia knows you're in a state of turmoil. Now focus on that one Eliza guy. Not just the accusation, but find and paste the person you suspect. Mbak Qia and Devan pray from here.”


“Thank you, Ma'am.”


After greeting, the two end the conversation and Hanna returns to Dicky.


“Mas ..”


“I told you about Eliza. The police will question him in cooperation with the police force where Eliza and her son live.”

In a house, a baby kept crying. The thick-bodied middle-aged woman began to be confused because someone who told her to wait in the house did not come.


He is very fond of babies who do not seem old enough to be born. Not knowing who his parents were, he was desperate to take the baby from the hospital. The fee offered will be used to pay tuition to three children.


Her husband died in an accident while working. At that time, she was pregnant with her third child. Only with an SD diploma, Lastri can only be a rude worker. Starting from shopkeepers in the market, backup cleaning services, washing workers, even he often pulls online motorcycle taxi.


But it was almost dark now and the man did not come. Lastri worries whether she should continue to wait while her children are alone at home or come home with a baby.


“Sssh, quiet dear, sorry I didn't prepare milk for you.” Lastri kept trying to calm the baby. His mind was in a frenzy, if that person did not come, what to do with the baby.


There's no way to bring him home. Feeding her children alone she has been defeated let alone support one baby who still needs milk, diapers, and others.


As for returning, it must not be easy because he was sure people would recognize from his body shape. He could not be caught because his children would live long ago.


Until dark there was no sign of the man. Money is not accepted either. With a heavy heart, Lastri put the baby in the basket he was carrying, enveloped and then out of the house.


The empty house was located a little far from the residents. Until access in and out is safe in the sense that no one is looking or noticing.


Lastri braced the heart to leave the beautiful red baby in the empty house. Instantly his steps came to a halt as the sound of crying broke the night.


He turned his back and returned to the house. He took the baby out of the basket and brought it home no matter what happens tomorrow.


“Mom doesn't know how to support you, but I can't leave you alone. Sorry, Mother.”


Lastri, a thirty-three-year-old woman continued to step up carrying the now calm baby in her arms. He stopped by the stall to buy potable milk, a bottle of pacifier, and a retail diaper cloth.


The last money I had for a week was gone. The money earned from the results worked odd jobs. He worked in the hospital as a substitute for absentee cleaning service. That's why he knows the ins and outs of the hospital.


While stepping home he remembered his meeting with the person who told him to take this baby. The order is clear, choose a baby from Dicky Pahrevi and Hanna Adinda. He will get twenty million if he brings it to the empty house.


I don't know where that guy had any idea to approach him because he didn't seem to be a member of the syndicate. The man was like confused and hesitant when giving orders but after reading the message from the hape he was steady on his orders.


Approaching his home in a heavily populated rented area, Lastri walked closer. Lucky the baby slept well.


At home, the children were sharing a rice pack worth fifteen thousand.


“Mother! Come eat, Brother has told adek-adek not to eat everything so mom can eat.”


Terjaru pastri. The eldest, twelve-year-old Mikala already understood the difficulties they faced every day.


His second son Maira saw his mother carrying something.


“What did you bring?”


“Loh it's a baby, Bu?” Mikala.


The three brothers immediately surrounded their mother.


“Yay! Mirza has a sister, Mirza has a sister.”


Excite the Bungsu while soaring.


Maira is no less happy let alone seeing her baby sister beautiful.


“What's the name, Bu?”


“Mom don't know yet, how about ... Malika?”


“I like! I like!“ Maira and Mirza. While Mikala's brows furrowed in wonder.


“So Mom walked in front of the old house and heard the baby crying, because there was no one, so I took it,” Lastri lied because he could not admit his actions.


Malika was crying hard. The red baby is thirsty. Lastri handed it to Mikala to be carried in order to make milk. Mikala who was initially hesitant finally collapsed to see the face of baby Malika who had already seen a pretty line.


Her skin was as pure white as Hanna's. The shape of her face took from her father, but her eyes, nose, lips followed Hanna. Mikala instantly burst.


Mirza comforts Malika into silence while Maira helps her mother make milk. Although still eight years old but Maira is already good at doing kitchen work. His ideals are not grandiose, being ART in a luxury home.


After the milk is put into the pacifier, give it to Malika. When Mirza was born, her father died. His mother had to work until although she was six years old, Maira had taken care of Mirza.


Malika drank voraciously in Mikala's arms. While Mirza stroked the baby's eyebrows to make it comfortable. Like Lastri likes to do to him to get to sleep fast.


Malika seemed to feel at ease and instantly closed her eyes. Mikala carefully placed on top of the only mattress in the house.


“Mother eat first, let me and the sisters take care of Malika.”


“You spend it, there was something for Mother Bread in the office,” again Lastri lied.


“Ya already, Mirza and Maira, spend aja.”


“Still Mas Mika.” Mirza and Maira go back to eating vegetable rice and fried tofu which is almost gone.


Door knocked. Lastri's face stiffened. RT's mother looked in after Mirza opened the door.


“Assalamualaykum Mbak Lastri, I heard there was a crying baby. Baby who?”
