Wasted Child

Wasted Child
Rena's gone


Vito, Aunt Silvani and Om Bram arrive in Jakarta in the afternoon. They went straight to the hospital. And there's Ancis.


"Ancis."


"Tante, um."


"Where's Rena?"


"No aunt's progress yet, um."


Aunt Silvani left Ancis, Bram and Vito. Aunt Silvani went to see a doctor.


"Actually how did Ancis happen."


"Yes said Ms. Tita, Rena's boss. Rena fainted as she was about to start a meeting. And her secretary Rena tapped on Rena's workspace but there was no answer and she opened Rena's room. Turns out Rena had passed out on the office floor."


Not long after, Aunt Silvani came.


"Where's ma?"


"We can only pray. Actually Rena's been sick for a long time. But he doesn't want anyone to know."


"What does aunt mean."


"His doctor has explained everything the same aunt. His doctor has also been sent a message by Rena. To wait for aunt and om to come, the doctor will explain all the diseases of Rena. Rena has stage 4 brain cancer. In front of us he tried to endure his pain. He doesn't want to look sick. And the doctor did not dare to operate because it was not necessarily successful."


"Astaghfirullah."


"How long has Rena been sick?"


"It's been almost 2 years Ancis."


"So hope for Rena to heal thin Auntie?"


"Yes, because it's spread everywhere."


"Ancis and Vito. Thank you for giving me the colors in Rena's life."


"But aunt is there no other way?"


"Rena has written a letter that was entrusted to her doctor to be given the same Aunt and Om Bram. And Rena has prepared everything herself."


"Don't you mean prepare everything yourself?"


"The land for him is buried later when he dies. He does not want to trouble the house. Everything has been prepared by Rena up to the cost at the funeral and 3 days, 7 days, 40 days and 100 days."


Aunt Silvani cries because she has to lose her adopted son whom she loves and she loves as much as she loves Novi.


"Actually when all the tools in the aid released from his body Rena. Rena's gone straight. Rena asked for one wish for Novi and Dian to come."


"The patient mom. Rena doesn't like it when mom cries. Papa will call Novi to come to Jakarta soon."


Vito was just speechless hearing everything that Aunt Silvani was talking about. Her chest feels tight. I want Vito to go inside and talk to Rena to wake up and be able to have a wedding even though Rena can only lie down.


Ancis does not believe in all the information of aunt Silvani.


Rena, why don't you ever talk to me about your illness. Had you spoken from the beginning, I would have helped heal even if it had to be abroad. Why are you silent. You feel pain in your silence. You don't want others to worry about you. You always look cheerful.


"Hello New."


"Yes hello pa. Tumben called again not yesterday just called."


"Novi, this is urgent. You go to Indonesia and tell Dian. Rena is waiting for you. Rena turned out to be sick and is currently assisted by medical instruments."


"meaning pa? Rena why?"


"Rena had brain cancer and it had spread throughout her brain. And nowadays Rena is assisted by medical tools. He's waiting for you and Dian to come to Indonesia."


"Oh my God, how sudden gini" I'm pregnant. I'm not sure I can make a flight. I'm 8 months pregnant."


"Geez, papa forgot. Try calling Dian. Tell me Rena's condition. Hope Dian can come to Indonesia."


"Yes pa. New York calls Dian. Later Novi through a video call just to talk to Rena."


"Ok Novi."


Papa turned off his cell phone.


"Mama. Papa forgot, Novi is 8 months pregnant. He can't make the flight. Novi's gonna try to call Dian."


"Yes pa, right. Danger for Novi and his future son."


Mbok came with Mr. Mistar bringing food for Aunt Silvani and Om Bram as well as Vito and Ancis.


"Mistress, Master, non-Rena."


"Yes mbok. Pray that Rena can heal huh mbok."


"Yes lady. This is a little book and the lady can open it. A week before non Rena said the same mbok. If it's time please give it to the Madam and the Master."


"A week ago?"


"Yes, madam."


Aunt Silvani opened the little book in the lock.


There's a 5 billion check for Aunt Silvani and Bram.


There are shares that Rena got and handed over to om Bram.


There was a check for Novi and Dian and also a necklace for the two of them with a pendant containing a photo of the three of them.


Mama Silvani and Om Bram,


I'm sorry if Rena can't speak anymore. Only this writing can Rena do. Checks for Om and Aunt are not to replace Om and Aunt money, not but to thank Om and Aunt for loving and loving Rena regardless of who Rena is and where Rena comes from. Om and aunt adopted Rena and it was an important moment in Rena's life, where finally Rena had a family despite being far apart due to work.


Om and Auntie, the money was Rena got from the results of Rena playing stock. No one knows because Rena wants to give gifts to Mama Silvani and Papa Bram, but Rena is confused about what to give? Because of that Rena tried to play stock and could produce. And there are some stocks that are still there, maybe you want to continue or sell the shares please.


If Novi and Dian can't come. Rena had cheques and necklaces for both of them. Rena is no longer strong enough to withstand Rena's headaches.


For mbok, Mr. Mistar, Mr. Mastar, Rena has bought a house. They can occupy and also save on their behalf and also savings for the security guard. And can be taken in the usual bank mama and papa transfer money for their salary.


Rena can't say much. Rena said Thank you to mama Silvani, Om Bram, Novi, Dian, mbok, Mr. Mistar, Mr. Mastar.


Rena also asked for help to give the red box that Rena had placed on the office desk. The red box is for Ms. Tita, Ms. Elice, Ms. Asha and Ms. Esther. Thanks to them, Rena can keep working.


Rena is tired and Rena is no longer strong to endure pain. Inspiration Rena. Let Rena walk. And when Mom and Dad came. Rena wants Mama and papa to release all the tools attached to Rena's body.


Rena loves you all. I love you Mama, Papa, Novi, Dian, Mbok, Mr. Mistar, Mr. Mastar, Ancis, Mama Annelise


Mama and papa, thank you for the care, affection and love that Rena never got from her biological parents. But Rena gets from Mama and Papa.


Love


Rena


Al Fatihah


Mama read Rena's writing and made everyone cry.


Novi called mama.


"Ma, sorry Dian couldn't come either."


"Novi please call Dian. We're video calling three now."


"Yes ma, just a minute."


After connecting, Mama read the contents of the book written by Rena.


Novi and Dian could not hide their grief.


Rena, their schoolmate from Elementary, who knows how difficult Rena is, how sick Rena is, how hungry Rena, who finally lives in the house of Novi, becomes a friend, finally a brother.


"Ma, take off all the tools in Rena's body. Let and explain Rena street Ma. Let Rena not feel pain anymore. Let Rena feel happiness with God. Don't let Rena suffer continue Ma."


"Yes dear. Don't disconnect. Let's let you see."


Mama gave papa her cell phone and went to call the doctor


Not long after that mom came with the doctor and went inside the ICU room followed by all of them.


Mama took off all the equipment that was paired on Rena's body. And after waiting for mama and the doctor to check on Rena's condition.


"Bu Silvani, Rena's gone, is dead and she smiles."


"Yes doctor. Thanks for the help all this time. Rena was strong until finally Rena waving the white flag."


Everyone crying.


"Ancis for hospital fees who pays? Are you or Ms. Tita."


"Mrs Silvani."


"Yes doctor?"


"Everything was paid for by Rena herself. And the excess money Rena asked to donate to the orphanage."


"Good doctor."


"Then let us take care of her body and Rena asks to be buried in the funeral home in this hospital."


"Good doctor."


Everyone out of the ICU. They can only cry because everything has been prepared by Rena himself without having to bother others.


A nurse approached Aunt Silvani


"Mom, I'd like this to be put on the tombstone"


"Good sister. Thank you." Thank you."


"I am alone and forever alone until the end of my life"


The next day Rena was buried in a cemetery near the ragunan. All who knew Rena were present and they could only fall silent and cry to let go of Rena's departure.


The little girl who was always scolded and beaten, always hungry, always bruised her body, who was eventually expelled, saved by her best friend, school and financed her own school, worked well, received insults from her adoptive family, receiving insults and insults from people who do not know him. Never angry, everything is accepted with a smile.


Aunt Silvani opens Rena's room and smells Rena's perfume


"Rena, you're here, baby. Mama misses you dear."


Papa Bram and Aunt Silvani went to Rena's office, two days after Rena was buried.


"This is Rena's room."


"Mr Rahma, please ask Bu Tita, Ms. Elice and Ms. Asha and Ms. Esther to come to this room."


"Mom, a minute."


They come.


"I'm sorry to call Ms. Tita, Ms. Elice, Ms. Asha and Ms. Esther. Rena left this red box for you. Rena thanked for the kindness of Mother Tita, Mother Elice, Ms. Asha and Sister Esther to Rena. I also thank her for her guidance, attention and life lessons given to Rena.


"Sama-sama Bu Silvani and Mr. Bram. We are all shocked that Rena has been saving the pain she suffered without anyone knowing. Ancis told us everything."


"Yes from Tita. The child from childhood does not want to trouble others. Then I'm sorry. Thank you." Thank you."


"Together Mrs Silvani and Mr. Bram."


"Pa, we go to the bank and get the savings book and house keys for mbok, Mastar, the bar and the security guard."


They went to the bank. Take all and go home. Then distribute to Mbok, Mistar, Mastar and also security guards.


"Mr and mistress. Do we keep working here or what?"


"No need. We will sell this house. And we're going back to America again."


"The minutes you have from us we've sent money in addition"


"Thank you very much Mr and Mrs. We all lost a good non Rena."


"Yes mbok. We all lose."


"Fixed prayers for Rena yes mbok, Mastar. Mistar, security guard."


"Most certainly madam."


Finally mbok, mastar, mistar and security guard left the house. And mama Silvani also om Bram left for America. The house is sold through a home broker.


Rena looked at everything with a smile
