Butterflys

Also the Flesh Blood

The ringing sound of the phone shifted the focus of Sandra who was flushing flowers in the front yard. The woman stopped her activity for a moment to see who called her. There was a smile rising from the lips of the woman when she found out who called her. He immediately sat down on the chair that was on the terrace to answer this phone call.

“It turns out papa called,” said Sandra stroked her distended stomach, “He should have finished in the hospital,” he continued.

Sandra scrolled her screen and stuck the flat object to her left ear, while her right hand was still stroking her stomach. A few more months Sandra will do labor, really time passes very quickly. That's what Sandra feels right now.

“Halo?” greet Sandra.

Sandra's wide smile gradually faded after listening to Rian's words from across the street. His wide smile was replaced by a bitter smile now. It turned out that Rian called to let her know that the man was unable to fulfill her request.

Sandra's mouth said the word ‘it's okay’, but in her heart really feel disappointed. But Sandra had to be self-conscious. Now he was no longer a priority for the man. Now Rian already has a wife and of course the person who has the highest throne for the man is the wife.

The conversation ended with Rian. Sandra was still in her place, there were tears welling up in her eyes. However, as hard as he could, he held him back so as not to make Mbok Inem worry about him. Indeed, lately Sandra is very crybaby, secretly she always cries when she does not get what she wants.

Although there is something that Sandra really wants, but she never told Mbok Inem. Sandra did not want to trouble him, so she would usually hold it herself. But this time, Sandra really wanted the food and was forced to ask Rian for help.

“Patience, Child. Tomorrow Mama will go to the city and buy her own,” said Sandra trying to entertain herself.

The woman was cravings for something and it just so happened that around her residence no one was selling. A meal that only exists in the big city. Actually Sandra has also tried to order online, but no one wants to take her to this village. Sandra also stood back from her seat, continuing the activity that had stopped.

The yard, which had only been wild grass, now looks more maintained since Sandra lived here. The woman was indeed pleased with the plants as well as the various types of flowers. He took advantage of his solitude by planting flowers. Money from Rian was set aside to buy flower seeds. Sandra smiled with satisfaction at the now greener and more colorful courtyard.

“Ian must be surprised if you come here again, his house already looks more alive,” muttered Sandra.

“Mbak Sandra,” call Mbok Inem.

“Yes, Mbok? I'm going home, okay?”

“Iya, Ma'am. I'm going home now, the house is clean and dinner is on the table. Later if there is any phone I just.”

“Iya, Mbok. Thank you, be careful on the road.”

Sandra saw the departure of Mbok Inem on his old bicycle. After the middle-aged woman disappeared at a crossroads, Sandra decided to enter the house. The longer, Sandra felt that her body was getting tired faster and felt heavy.

However, Sandra enjoyed the change. Although this is new to her, Sandra is very happy. Sometimes if Sandra is looking to see how her future baby looks, she will see a photo of the results of her USG.

“Jeez, Mbok Inem. Why cook so much?” sandra muttered as she looked at the dining table.

“If there is no baby in the belly of Sandra Mommy please Mba does not eat all day I will not nag. But right now inside Madam Sandra's stomach is another life, her own flesh and blood. Sandra's brother has to take responsibility, so now you have to think not for Sandra's sake, but for the sake of the child in Sandra's stomach.” Such are the words that come from the mouth of Mbok Inem.

He was really angry at that moment. Sandra smiled faintly considering that those times were indeed true, when she was back slumped with her current state. Honestly, it is very hard for him to accept the child in his stomach. Sandra also had thought of aborting her womb, but her affection for the prospective baby was too great.

Sandra must battle with her dark memories along with Kevin and her sin of betraying Rian first. If you remember the child in the stomach is also the flesh blood of the jerk man, Sandra still often returns to slump. Return to regret all his actions.

But behind all that. Sandra has Mbok Inem who is always beside her, accompanying her when she is down and has a bad mind. Mbok Inem is always patient to face Sandra who sometimes becomes a stubborn woman.

Actually Sandra wants to be selfish, holding Mbok Inem to stay at this house. However, he cannot. Mbok Inem also still has responsibilities at home, there are still children who need the presence of Mbok Inem.

Then at a time like this Sandra will feel the loneliness that hugs her. Dinner alone with no friends. The dark memories sometimes come back to him. However, Sandra is now able to control it. He always emphasized this in his mind.

“If this child is also his flesh and blood, but I will never admit him as the father of this child.”

“Remember, Son. Papa you are Rian,” said Sandra rubbed her stomach.

Yes, Sandra can only chat with her future baby at night. Spill all grievances on him. Also tucking in the prayer at the end of his confiding session. Best prayer for his baby.

After finishing dinner alone and washing all the cutlery used, Sandra decided to enter her room. Sit on the bed and pick up a book. The woman read several books to reduce her sense of boredom.

Although only able to spend a few pages, it is very powerful to make him feel sleepy quickly. Tomorrow Sandra plans to go to the city to buy some very refrigerated food for a few days. So he should go to bed early tonight.

Sandra did not want to wait any longer, even just imagining the aroma alone Sandra's saliva almost dripped out. The woman hopes that tomorrow she can find the food and eat as much. Sandra put the book she read to the table next to her bed. He began to lie down, raised his blanket, and began to close his eyes.

“Good sleep,” murmured Sandra.

It only takes a few minutes until the woman enters the dreamland. The quiet night atmosphere and cool air make Sandra quickly fall asleep.
