Chapter 32 The Child Is a Gift

Papa Janu said that the saddest and most devastating moment was no longer when he was kicked out of the house because of his sexual orientation. But the moment where she heard Mother Lis's story about that terrible incident, and she couldn't do anything about it.  Ms. Lis was right, currently the ace is in the hands of those bad guys. After seeing the video they sent to Mother and Mary, Janu became even more angry. Papa Janu knew it wasn't like that. But if the video is circulated, then everyone who sees it will judge Mary, without asking, what really happened. With Mary's current state, the first priority is to save the poor woman's mentality.

“Janu, help mom take care of your sister and the baby. After all, the baby was innocent. Even though he exists, from a terrible event. It wasn't his fault. He did not ask to exist,” said Mother. “If anything happens to mom, then Maria will I leave it entirely to you.” Papa Janu just kept silent while clenching mom's hand

cold and trembling.

“Mother is okay? Mother why is it shaking and cold like this?” ask Papa Janu worried.

“Mother's okay.We've been here too long. Fear Maria is awake,” said Mother. We headed to Maria's room. Sure enough, when we entered Maria was sitting on the bed pulling her hair and beating her belly. Mom immediately ran to hug Maria.

“Don't kid, don't you hurt yourself and your baby, accept all this as a blessing.” Mother Lis said softly. Papa Janu could only be helpless, staring at the woman who had saved him. In the heart of Papa Janu was very angry, because he could not protect the two women who contributed to his life.

“Not my baby! This is that bastard's baby! I don't want him! Discard!” mary cried hysterically, beating her stomach. Because Ms. Lis tried to stop Maria, Ms. Lis was hit several times.  “Liar ma'am! Release Maria! Maria has to throw this damn baby away!”

Papa Janu stood at the door looking at the pale Mary with tears in her eyes. He was really confused as to what to do. If asked what he wants? Papa Janu wants to borrow a gun from his best friend and shoot Jerry and Gerald. At the very least he wanted to make the two young men battered before asking him to take responsibility. But the threat of lawsuits and the bully effect on Maria will be endless. Not to mention the fate of the child that Mary will be born. If Jerry wants to marry, will Maria be happy over the forced marriage with the bastard. Or perhaps Mary's life will be hell.

“No ma'am! Get him out now! He's that son of a bitch, I don't want to have him!” maria shouted even more, startling Janu. Maria was really raging at that moment. The pillow that was near him he threw anything. The mother who had already let go of her embrace again tried to hug Maria and calm her down. But unexpectedly, Mary squirms violently releasing Mother's embrace, making the mother slammed down from the bed. The mother's head was on the edge of the chair that was not far from the bed to bleed a lot.

“IBU!” I shouted loudly, running to hug Mother Lis. Maria who saw it immediately fell silent and muttered “ibu.”

When I grabbed Mom, she no longer opened her eyes. I pat her cheek and shake her body while calling her name, but still flinching. I took the pillow near me and I put my mother's head there. I took a small towel and I put it on my mother's face, which kept bleeding.  Unbeknownst to me, Maria had already gotten out of bed while repeatedly apologizing.

“Maria, mother fainting and bleeding. We need to save Mom right away. We're taking mom to the hospital. Master yourself. For your baby, we'll talk about it later. Mom needs us more. I can't watch you two at the same time. Can?” I said to Maria. Mary looked at my mother and I took turns. He took a deep breath rubbing his eyes and stood up to grab his bag. Then he ran outside screaming,

“Bring mom to car Janu! I'll get you your keys and wallet,” Maria said firmly. I'm a little relieved. I'll take Mom and take her to the garage. After arriving home

sick, Mom was immediately treated by a doctor.

“I'm his son doc? How is my mother?’ ask Papa Janu. Maria who was next to me was staring at the nanar. I know he feels very guilty.

“You're named Janu? “ ask doctor.

“Iya doc, I am Janu,” Papa Janu replied.

“Can we talk for a while in my room, alone?”  The doctor said as he glanced at Maria.

“Can dock,” says Papa Janu.  Maria had forced to come in to the doctor's room and listen to their conversation, but Papa Janu asked her to take care of Miss Lis.

“Bapak Janu, Ibu Lis had time to wake up and look for you. But Ibu Lis saw that your sister was there.

Frankly, Miss Lis's condition is not very good. His heart and lungs are in trouble. Lis's mother also had a second stroke within a month.  But Bu Lis asked me to keep it a secret from your sister. Ms. Lis just told Mr. Janu to take care of Maria and marry her. Make the children in the womb as the children of Mr. Janu,” said the doctor who had treated Lis's mother. Janu could only be speechless hearing Mother Lis's message. To her, keeping Mary was an obligation, required or not. But marrying Mary who was pregnant with another boy was a different matter. Because Papa Janu was sure that Mary would suffer if she married him

which can never give an inner living.

“Dok, Ibu Lis is aware and looking for a doctor and Mr. Janu,” a nurse with thick glasses opens the door and gives word, sir, which made the two men in the room immediately stand up and run towards the room Miss Lis.

The doctor immediately checked Ms. Lis's condition. He sighed and gurgled at Papa Janu.  Seeing the doctor's reaction, Maria approached her mother,

“Janu, why is the doctor shaking? Is Mom very bad? Is it all because I kicked?“  mary asked, shaking Janu's hand. Janu took a long breath. He hugged the woman who had helped him.

“Janu, Maria come here,” the weak voice of Mother Lis called them both.

“Maria, listen son. It's not your fault. Mother was like this even though she had not fallen. Is it doc? “ said mother while looking at Maria. The doctor who was asked just smiled while continuing his instructions to the nurse.

“Iya Maria, don't feel guilty. I was yesterday had a stroke and maybe mom was a little tired this late last time looking after us,” said Janu.

“Mother is happy to take care of you. Not exhausting at all. Make the mother, all fun as long as the mother's children are happy. The most fun thing is to see your child grow up well and happy. Being a mother is so much fun. No matter what the situation, being a mother is a gift. A child is the most beautiful gift for a woman. Although we have to fight alone, however we may be, the righteous Son who loves us, is a treasure that will bring heaven, even after we die,” said the Mother as she stroked Mary's head.

“But ma'am, this kid is a bastard who always reminds me of a fucking night. The night that ruined my life. This kid will remind me of that. The night that I turned into filthy trash that ******. I don't want this child, I'll throw it away,” Maria said as she held back her hysterics left asphyxiated by tears.

“Maria, The one doing is that guy. The guilty and dirty man is the man. You have never been bad, sinful and filthy, son. You are a good woman blessed with children who take care of you to heaven.  Never blame yourself or consider yourself dirty just because of the sins of others. You are a beautiful noble woman. You are a good-natured and holy mother's son,” said the mother with a long sigh. His chest was seen rising and falling withstanding the turmoil and the painful feeling of tightness. Papa Janu saw nanar

to the woman whom he had considered his mother. Papa Janu realized, between the breaths of the mother there is pain covered.

“But ma'am ...,” said Maria looked at her mother's face with guilt.

 “Respect yourself son. Your self-worth does not lie in what people think of you. Your pride lies in yourself and in front of God. That's what I always tell you. Never humble yourself in this way. You're precious, son, whatever they do to you. You are a good woman who can be grateful for the blessings of God. That event was not your fault. So is the baby in your womb. That baby is a gift to you. Be grateful and take good care of it. Let's just say, the baby is a gift for Mother who already wants to be a grandmother, can ya son?” said Ms. Lis. Mary was stunned to hear her mother's words. His heart began to open but could not accept it fully.

“Maria, by being a victim you feel sinful and dirty. Especially if you commit a grave sin of killing. The baby in your stomach deserves to live. They do not ask to be born but do not ask to be hated let alone killed. Do you see iui getting sad because your son became a murderer?” mother said

“But ma'am, how can I get pregnant and raise this child, whereas I have no husband. People will insult and insult me. They will insult this child as an illegitimate child as well.  We are both very

suffering,” by Maria.

“Janu come closer, Son,” said Ms Lis. Papa Janu approached and held the old woman's hand affectionately.

“Maria, I ask to take care of my granddaughter with Janu. He will protect you and your son. Yes Janu,” said Mother. Papa Janu said, he can only smile without being able to say. From what the doctor said, Ms. Lis will not be able to survive. Papa Janu knew that, but not Maria. Illness suffered and kept secret Ms Lis

years, began to show its true form due to a stroke at Jerry's home. Since then, in fact, Mother Lis had indeed only counted the days. According to the doctor, he had already conveyed this to Bu Lis, who asked the doctor to keep it a secret from the family.

“What mother means? How could I have let this child be born without a father? It'll torture her mom. I

don't want my son insulted for my mistake,” Maria said in tears.

“Maria, listen mom. This is not a mistake. This kid's a gift, not a mistake. The guilty one is the father of this child, but this child is not a mistake. Born and raised him. Him

will have a father. No one can insult a mother's grandchild as an illegitimate child without a father,” said Ms. Lis.

“Means mother?” maria asked confusedly. But Miss Lis could not answer. His breathing stinged, making the nurse immediately put a cup of oxygen in his mouth. Papa Janu immediately took action. He whispered in his ear

Miss Lis who was replied with a nod and a small smile.

“Maria, mom is too tired. We'd better talk in the cafeteria, looking for something to eat. You haven't eaten properly all day,” Papa Janu said

“No, I don't want to

leaving mom. I'm just here. If you want to eat, go,” said Maria apeas chief. Mother held Mary's hand and signaled her to leave.

“Maria, there's something important I need to talk about. But not here. I have to rest,” Papa Janu said. Maria finally understood and followed Papa Janu sitting in the canting

enjoy coffee tea and a plate of instant fried noodles.
