ANINDITA, A Tale of the Past

Surprising News

" The baby grandpa is smart, yes, do not want to make his mother sick for a long time," said Midwife Cicih when carrying and thrusting baby Anindita to her mother.

Shortly after Anindita's baby was born, Midwife Cicih came and immediately helped complete Anindita's labor including cutting the baby's umbilical cord and removing the placenta from Anindita's uterus.

" This handsome baby grandpa, must look like his papa, huh?"

The question of Midwife Cicih immediately made Anindita's heart seem pinched. But Anindita kept trying to keep smiling.

" Thank you, Midwife, for your help." Sandra immediately distracted Midwife Cicih, because she knew Anindita would be sad if touched on the father of the baby.

" Not to bother, Miss Sandra." Midwife Cicih. " I don't know if there's a pregnant woman in Miss Sandra's place, where have you been?" ask Midwife Cicih.

" Ayeah, that's a distant relative coming here, Midwife. Usually I take him to see my friend's obstetrician, ma'am." Sandra explained.

" Oh, yes already ..check wherever it matters that the mother and baby are healthy. Later tomorrow I will come here again, Ms. Sandra, to check the condition of the mother with her baby," said Midwife Cicih.

" Oh, please Miss Midwife." Sandra then thrust an envelope that had been filled with several hundred thousand bills.

" Thank God, thank you, Miss Sandra. Then excuse me, Ms. Sandra. Excuse me." Midwife Cicih also said goodbye to Sandra.

" Mommy, Dedek baby Ma'am Anin is cute, Ivone's anxious look at it. Want to bite his cheeks rich in mangroves," said Ivone kissed baby Anindita.

Anindita smiled in response to Ivone's words.

" The baby's time to get bitten, Von? It's gonna cry, dong." Sandra answered her son. " Ivone also don't kiss the baby first. Ivone's new from the outside, out of dust. Poor baby grandpa." Sandra forbids her son from kissing Anindita's baby.

" Ivone has to take a shower, right?" ask Ivone.

" Yes take a shower there with Susi." Sandra told Ivone to take a bath which was followed by her youngest child.

" Congratulations, Nin. You're a mother now." Sandra stroked the baby's face with the back of her finger.

" Thank you, Ci. For the good of Cici and Koh Leo so far," Anindita said in a weak tone.

" Your son is handsome, Nin. Sorry if Cici offended your past. You remember the father of your son, Nin?" ask Sandra carefully.

Anindita took in her breath that felt choked.

" I-yeah, Ci. I can still remember that person's face" Anindita said.

" Nin, if someday you meet that person, what would you like to do?" ask Sandra suddenly.

Anindita sighed, what did she expect from the man who had ruined her future?

" I don't know, Ci. And I hope, I won't see him again" Anindita said.

" Oh yeah, your son have you given me a name, Nin?" Sandra shifted the subject.

" Sahrizky Ramadan, Ci." Anindita looked at the holy baby beside her.

" May your son bring you fortune, Nin."

" Aamiin, Hi. Thank you ..."

" Nin, you eat first. This Auntie has made spinach vegetables still warm" Bi Teti said from the door while carrying a tray containing a bowl of spinach, carrots and boiled tofu, rice and a glass of water.

" Thank you, Bi. So troublesome Bi Teti who is fasting," said Anindita.

" Don't bother with Auntie, Nin. Want Aunt a bribe?" Bi Teti offered himself.

" No need, Bi. Let me be alone." Anindita refuses subtly.

" You eat, first, Nin. Let's get a lot of it." Sandra immediately took the baby Ramadan and held him.

" Yes, Ci ..."

" Mommy, Ivone wants to carry the baby's cuttings." Ivone who had finished bathing immediately ran into Anindita's room.

" Cici Ivone is still a child, so you can't carry Dedek Rama yet." Sandra then sat her body in a chair near the door of Anindita's room.

" Yes, Cici Ivone has not been acquainted with her baby Grandpa Anin, right? His name is Rama, Ci Ivone." Sandra introduced Ramadan to her daughter.

" Mommy, why can't Ivone carry Dedek Rama?" ask Ivone later.

" Because Cici Ivone is still a child, if the sling Dedek Rama, Cici is not strong will fall. Because baby's grandpa's still a little kid still weak body." Sandra tried to understand Ivone.

" If you kiss me, right, Mi?" ask Ivone again.

" If Cici Ivone has taken a shower, but not for long, Cici. He will wake up."

" Yes, Mi. Ivone just wanted to kiss for a second, Mi."

Sandra gives Ivone a chance to kiss Ramadhan. While Anindita noticed their interaction with a smile on her lips, looking at the sight of people who were so affectionate and caring to her.

" O Allah, may the birth of Ramadan bring happiness to the servant and those around the servant. And I hope that someday I will be able to repay all the kindness that Koh Leo and his family have given to me all this time" Anindita said, wiping away the tears that suddenly melted on her cheeks.

Ricky held his chest. From this morning somehow his heart kept beating. He's not usually like this. Does he have a problem with his heart? But he was among those who diligently check up regularly and during this time there was never a problem with his health.

" What's up, Rick?" dirga asked as she watched the assistant hold her chest.

" No idea, Mr. Dirga. Since this morning I have felt my heart beating fast." Ricky answered Dirga's question.

" You check it immediately. I need you, Rick. Don't let you get sick" Dirga told Ricky.

" Good, Mr. Dirga." Ricky looked at his watch. " Five more minutes of meeting starts soon, sir." Ricky told Dirga.

" I'll be there soon." Dirga immediately turned off his laptop and tidied up the archives on his desk.

The new meeting lasted about fifteen minutes when Ricky saw Dirga several times glancing at the phone in his pocket. I don't know who contacted his current boss but Dirga seemed affected by the call that finally made Dirga leave the meeting and hand over to himself who led the meeting.

But soon the meeting room was knocked tight from the outside, making everyone present in the meeting turn towards the door. An OB appeared from behind the door.

" I'm sorry, Sir. Mr. Dirga ..." The OB seemed nervous about delivering the news he wanted to convey.

" What's wrong with Mr. Dirga?" Ricky got up and with wide strides he walked out of the meeting room.

Ricky then finds his boss sitting down with his head down and a cell phone lying on the floor.

" What's up, Mr Dirga?" Ricky immediately approached Dirga and patted Dirga on the shoulder.

He turned his face toward Ricky. And Ricky saw the usual face looks firm now look sad with reddened eyes and clear liquid that condenses in the eyes of the eagle.

" What's up, Mr Dirga?" Ricky was immediately struck by anxiety to see the condition of his boss.

" Bang Bima, Rick."

" Bima Sir? What happened to Mr. Bimantara?"

" Bang Bima crashed and died instantly on the spot."

It felt like being hit by thousands of Godam hammers it felt when Ricky heard the shocking news that Dirga had just delivered about the accident that hit the oldest child of Mr. Poetra Laksmana
