With Seruni firmly grasping Mangkuto's hand, feeling a little strange in Seruni's hand, Mangkuto immediately spoke up.
“Is here provide food Bu?”
“Neither, this is just lodging, and I cook only for guests staying here only.”
“Ooo, then we're wrong place.”
“You are not wrong place, if you want to stay can kok.”
“Nggak Bu, we are travelers, we just want to have lunch.”
Sekar who heard the rejection from his father, did not immediately refute, because there must be something that made his father's intentions change instantly.
Especially when Sekar saw the eyes of the innkeeper's woman, looking at her Mother's bladder with sharp glaring eyes. I felt a little bit of worry in him.
“Alright, if here does not provide food, let us find another rice shop,” said Sekar while pulling the hand of Seruni.
“Sorry Mom, we excuse you first,” said Seruni while leaving with her daughter Sekar.
“I beg you not to go. Alright, I will prepare delicious food for the three of you, be patient first inside, I will serve it for you soon.”
“No need ma'am, let us find another rice shop,” Mangkuto said as he ran away from the inn.
After a little distance, they immediately stopped at a riverbank, right at that moment Seruni felt her stomach cramped and sick.
“Oh, my stomach hurts once!” shouted Seruni with a loud voice.
“Mothers want to give birth?”
“Maybe son, this time Mother's stomach hurts once.”
“Where is this Dad?” ask for fear.
“Yang patient darling, you must calm down, you take care of Mother here, let Dad go find a child shaman in the village.”
“No Father, Mother can not give birth in the middle of the forest like this.”
“Then how should we do nak?”
“We must take Mother to the nearest Village, who knows there we can get help.”
“Alright, then let Daddy who carried your Mother's body,” said Mangkuto while lifting Seruni's body and taking her running away from the wilderness.
To find the next village, Mangkuto had to carry his wife's body running so far away, feeling exhausted, Mangkuto tried to stop for a moment, then continued on again.
After traveling two more kilo meters, then they met the next village, in an empty house that was uninhabited, Mangkuto tried to lay his wife's body there.
“Sky!”
“Iya Father.”
“Seek for lodging around this place, we will take your Mother there.”
“Good Dad,” replied Sekar while running away from Father and Mother.
Not so far away Sekar ran, he arrived in front of an inn, Sekar did not go directly inside, he said, he stood in front of the inn while doing an inside look to make sure there was no interference for his mother giving birth later.
After being declared safe, Sekar went inside to reserve two rooms for the three of them. Then the innkeeper gave two room keys to them and Sekar immediately invited Father and Mother to the inn.
The inn looks very clean, so Seruni can give birth to her baby calmly there.
“Mother, may I ask you something?”
ask the inn owner.
“What's nak?”
“Do you know where the shaman's house is here?”
“Baby shaman? who wants to give birth to Nak?”
“Your mother wants to give birth?”
“True Bu.”
“Alhamdulillah, thank you Allah, thank you.”
“Why did Mom say thank you?” ask Sekar wonder.
“Because it's been a long time since I've been waiting for someone to give birth in this inn.”
“Why is that? of course you have a reason, right?”
“Kata Eyang great-grandmother, if there are people who give birth in this inn then the sustenance will flow smoothly.”
“O yes? then I'm grateful dong.”
“That's right son, for that I will return all the payment you have given to Mother.”
“Why should that be?”
“Because today is the happy day Mother son, this take,” said the woman while returning two coffers of money that Sekar gave her.
“Alright, then please Mom tell me, where is the child shaman's house on me now.”
“Well, walk ahead there, in a corner you will find a yellow house, that's the house of the child shaman son.”
“Thank you for telling me,” replied Sekar while running away from the woman.
After Sekar found the child shaman he meant, they also returned to the inn to help the mother who was about to give birth.
“Ayo Bu, my Mother is currently above,” invite Sekar on the child shaman.
When the two had entered the room, the child shaman immediately checked the condition of Seruni.
“Oh thank goodness still waiting a while longer, then you just provide warm water for me.”
“Good Ma'am,” replied the inn owner.
“No need ma'am, let me get the water.”
“If that's your wish, please.”
Sekar quickly went down to get warm water as the shaman had ordered him to give birth.
“This is Bu water,” said Sekar while giving the water in the vessel to the child shaman.
After giving the water, Sekar immediately waited outside with dozens of do’a uttered in his mouth. Some time waiting with a sincere do’a, finally Seruni can give birth to her baby safely to this world.
The little baby was crying hysterically to leave the quiet atmosphere of the inn. The mother of the innkeeper bowed in gratitude to Allah, for after that she would receive the abundant provision from Allah.
Meanwhile, because the day had been hunted magrib, Mangkuto postponed to bury the baby's arid, he planned to bury it tomorrow.
Then the baby ari-ari was washed clean and wrapped in a white cloth and put in a plastic bag so that the smell does not sting out.
That night when everyone was fast asleep, the little baby immediately screamed suddenly, Seruni and Mangkuto tried to wake up.
“What's the matter dear, why is it that midnight like this you're crying?” ask Mangkuto to the one-night-old baby.
The baby was taken and carried by Mangkuto, the baby must continue to cry Mangkuto did not care about it, he tried to calm the baby with a small hum.
A while later, there was an oddity, the window of the inn room suddenly opened by itself, Mangkuto and Seruni were so shocked at that moment.
“Uda, try uda call Sekar, it looks like something is wrong tonight.”
“Good darling,” replied Mangkuto while calling his daughter from inside the room.
