"Mom, wake up."
I heard someone wake me up. With heavy eyes I opened. I was in a white room. For a moment I remembered what happened. I just realized I was just giving birth. I wanted to ask you about my baby. But the nurse put an index finger in her mouth.
"Ssttt, don't talk, ma'am. Mother is still weak" immediately the nurse thrust water that has been mixed with sugar. I drank it immediately too.
Not long after the doctor came.
"Alhamdulillah, mother is conscious. How does it feel mom, is it getting a little light?"
"Thank God, mother is strong."
"What's the baby like, Doc?" much
"Baby healthy mom. But the baby's mother should be given X rays first survived four days. Let his lungs clear."
I just nodded without understanding the meaning of the explanation. Maybe I'm too stupid to understand things like that.
For six days in the Hospital, never once did the Bagas family see me there. Before returning home, we must finish the administration first.
"Sik, your savings are less to pay for his administration"
"How much do you have to pay?" ask me.
"Eight million four hundred"
I was also surprised, so expensive the cost of giving birth in the Hospital.
"So we have to find another four million four hundred dong"
"Son, look for six million more. Your money is only two million"
"Haaaahh." I was surprised.
"Isn't my savings four million. That too I'm sure you've stolen bang. My savings should have reached six million" I couldn't stand crying.
"Don't be so loud his cry makes me ashamed" Bagas also sewot.
"Where's the two million money going?"
"Business has no brain. You need to find the rest again"
"Where should I look for him?"
"Yesaha dong Bang. Everyone has to use my money. Can't you do a little bit of work?"
"Your money is my money too. If you don't let me work, you won't get money. So your money has a right I dong too. Don't be a wife"
"If you don't accept your money, take care of it yourself."
Bagas left me. And my bag is on her bed on the nightstand. I immediately took the bag. Then I checked the money in my wallet. After I recounted, it turned out that the money was only one million and three hundred. Bagas really is too. I also cried a lot.
Finally my sister Isha came with Mamah.
They were amazed to see my eyes that were swollen and red.
"Sir Dina why is she crying" asked Isha.
I also told him everything. Isha looked upset and angry.
"It's so brazen, brother-in-law. I want to throw it into the abyss" exasperated Isha.
"Patiently, my son. This mama's got a gram of gold. You can wear it first. What matters is that you and your baby are out today. In the long run it can be more expensive again" said mamah
"Gak Mah, Dina can't wear mamah jewelry. These are my memories from Dad"
"Let Dina try to borrow from Kak Vera, the owner of the boutique where Dina worked first."
I immediately picked up the device in my small bag. And send a message directly to Brother Vera.
[Sir Vera, can you please Dina?] message I sent
Not long after Vera replied to my message.
[Not yet, that's the problem]
I told everything to Brother Vera.
[Ok. I'll be going to the Hospital right away] Last message from Brother Vera.
***
Not long after Vera came with a young man. The young man he introduced as his cousin who had just come from Dubai. Brother Vera immediately hugged me.
"How are you doing, Din? Healthy always yes and patience in the face of all this."
"Yes, this is my cousin Merwais. He just came from Dubai."
"How, just go directly to the administration let Dina immediately rest at home"
Vera took care of everything. Not long after, two nurses came with my little baby.
"Today, Miss Dina came home?"
"Hopefully be healthy soon" said the two nurses. And pass immediately.
*********
Two months have passed. My little baby named Galang grew up healthy. During that time Bagas only became a pestle whose work was just drunk. Maybe I'm so numb that I don't care what he does. Until finally we had to get out of the house mamah, because bang Wira had sold the house on the grounds that he needed a large capital.
We also live in a contract. With money from the sale of the house. Mom lives with Isha. Because I don't want mama to stay with me to just eat heart.
Since staying in the rented bang Bagas started giving me his salary even though not much. My parents-in-law finally came to the house to see Galang, his grandson.
But his drunken habit can never stop. Even he always asks for money from the sale of my mother's house. If I don't give it to him, he'll steal it. Money that is not so much eventually began to thin out. Lucky Galang drinking ASI exclusive. No need to buy extra milk.
When Galang was eight months old, Bagas asked me to work again at his boutique.
Because the cost of living is increasingly expensive and considering my debt to brother Vera, I finally decided to work again.
My mother-in-law is willing to look after Galang while I work. Coincidentally the father-in-law has also come from his hometown and will soon settle in this city.
I grabbed the gawaikun and immediately called Vera's brother.
"Hello, brother Vera. Can I not work at sister's boutique anymore?"
"Hello Din, you want to work again? Can really. But sorry I can't bring a work galang. How's it?"
"Yes, brother, I'll leave it at my mother-in-law's house if I work later."
"OK deh. Could it come down tomorrow? It just so happens that new stuff goes all in."
"Yes brother. Tomorrow I'll start to come down."
******
Very bright morning. I immediately got ready for work. Before that I have to prepare everything Galang needs to be at his grandmother's house later.
"Bund, chepet dong prepare breakfast. Very lelet." anyway."
Bagas asked me to prepare his breakfast. Without him caring about my unfinished work. Though he just relaxed while playing the device and giggling himself. Because there is already Galang, now he calls me mother.
"Take it yourself dong well. I'm again bothered to make equipment for Galang"
"Ih, mother. That's my job"
I also gave up. I don't want to ruin my good mood right now.
Fifteen minutes from my mother-in-law's house, I finally arrived at the boutique Kak Vera with in between Bagas.
"Thank you, mother of work first. Assalamualaikum" I didn't forget to kiss her hand.
At that time I saw Merwais' cousin sister Vera. At first glance, I saw Bagas' face looks not like when Merwais greeted me.
