Edith (2)

Basically, no human being is born bad. All are born holy and good. Not a single baby came into this world with grudges and hatred in his heart. However, humans begin to experience changes and tendencies of nature along with the process of maturation. The environment and people around have a very important role in shaping the personality and mindset of a person. That's what Edy did.

Living and growing up in a terrible place demands that he be strong and ever vigilant. In order to protect himself, Edy had to think of all sorts of ways and paths. No exception to hurt others.

Even so, not everyone who has a bad environment and experience can grow into a bad person. All of those are just supporting factors, whereas the decisions and choices remain in the hands of the human being himself. Whether it will be what it will be, he himself determines everything.

In this case, Edy decides to go to the side he shouldn't have gone to. As a 9-year-old, Edy thought there was no choice but to do evil. But everyone always has a choice. God always makes a choice. Heaven and hell were created because God never predestined the good and bad qualities of His servants. God gave them a choice for every decision in life, and thus the end of their story was determined.

At first, Edy did not really mean the plan. He was not that brave to do what he thought was so great. However, after feeling increasingly oppressed and suffering every day, Edy began to investigate the case of stale milk that he had read in the newspaper some time ago.

Edy finds out who, what, and how those students got poisoned. Apparently, at that time they were doing a field trip. The school gave each of them a box of milk and a packet of bread. But the milk they drank turned out to have expired. As a result, all children and teachers who drank the milk experienced nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. The school was the only one to blame for the case. They are considered negligent in carrying out their duties.

From there, Edy began to work out a plan. He began his plan by approaching the officer who handled the kitchen. Although almost every day eating tofu and tempeh, the parlors occasionally give them milk for breakfast or after dinner. Of course, the milk given to children is not the result of purchases made by the orphanage, but donations from several parties and philanthropists.

While trying to get close to the kitchen, Edy helps them carry, wash dishes, and move food. In between his activities, Edy occasionally asked about foods cooked for him and other children. Where the food is bought from, when to buy, to how much to buy. Edy gathers all the information he finds useful to finalize his plan.

Until after all the data he managed to get, Edy began to draw up the final plan. Dairy shipments will come every Saturday and be served to children on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. Edy has 3-4 days to make the milk stale before the children start to consume.

To launch the action, Edy deliberately took a nap so that he could be awake at midnight. He made sure everyone was asleep before going to the kitchen to unscrew the milk bottles there and leave them open overnight. Lucky for Edy because the milk that has been sent to his orphanage is pure milk with a glass bottle that will not be visible even though it has been opened.

In addition to opening the lid of the milk bottle every night, Edy also picked up rotten vegetables from the garbage and brought them closer to the open milk bottles. He hopes the bacteria in rotten vegetables can get into the milk bottle and accelerate the process of decay.

Without feeling, 4 days have passed and the time has come for them to consume the milk. Edy himself did not know whether the effort he had done for days reaped good results or not. However, Edy must have been praying and hoping since this morning that the milk had gone stale.

The kitchen staff began pouring milk on the empty glasses on the dining table. Edy just watched from a distance while putting his hope that the milk was stale.

After all the food was served, the kitchen attendant called all the children to gather and eat their food. No exception Edy who also sat cross-legged while observing other children who looked indifferent and without a doubt ate their food as greedily as usual.

Edy ketar-keteers. He felt agitated at once. What if the plan fails? What if someone realizes that milk is stale before everyone drinks it? What if he is suspected? What if in the end Edy fails to see the Doctor's Mother and is trapped in this terrible place forever?

So many things Edy thought about in a relatively very short time. One by one, the children began to drink their milk. Some of them realize that the taste of milk is not the same as what they usually drink, while the rest still drink everything without a single problem about the taste. Naturally the children were astonished by the taste of their milk. However, they are not brave enough to complain about food problems because Mother Panti could be angry and say they are not grateful. In addition, Edy also believes that the children do not understand what expired milk is, they only understand how to obey the words of Mother Panti and eat everything served to them.

Edy began to feel relieved. Everything went well according to his plan. There is not a single hint of suspicion or suspicion. Now just waiting for the milk to react in the children's bodies so inevitably the orphanage must contact the hospital. And of course, before Edy had put a business card that had been given to him by the Mother Doctor next to the phone belonging to Mother Panti while she was cleaning the room. That way, the panicked Mother Panti will call the hospital where the Mother Doctor works and if everything goes according to her plan, the doctor will call the hospital, Edy will be able to meet with the female doctor who at that time he did not know his name.

It does not take much time to see the reaction of the stale milk drunk by children. In just a matter of hours, some children begin to complain of stomach pain and vomiting. Some of them have diarrhea and fever. The panicked Mother ran to her study. Edy peeked out from behind the door when she found Mother Panti holding a small piece of paper that she believed was a business card she had left next to the phone.

In less than 30 minutes, an ambulance came to the orphanage and took all the children to go to the hospital. Edy who previously drank the milk to avoid suspicion from various parties was also taken to the hospital with other children.

Edy observed the pained and pale faces engraved on the faces of the other children. Some of the children were bullies and torturers who used to harass Edy. For some reason, it felt good and happy to see the children in pain. All the resentment and resentment that Edy had felt all along seemed to change with an unbeatable pleasure. Not that he did not feel heartburn and stomach ache like the others, it was just that Edy was reluctant to waste the beautiful scenery along this journey of theirs. He is satisfied with his work. He was satisfied to see all the children frowning and crying in pain.

Mommy should be drinking that milk, too, huh. Too bad.

Everything really went too smoothly and was good for Edy. He and the children were transferred to the hospital where the Doctor's mother worked, and shortly after Edy received treatment, the female doctor who had said that she would adopt Edy also came to Edy and asked how she was doing.

Edy doesn't say much. He only said that he was willing to be adopted and was reluctant to linger in the terrible orphanage. Edy explains how children are treated in orphanages. He tells how they were ordered and exploited like servants. Edy also said that he and the children were being treated unfairly. Although many receive help from various communities, Ibu Panti and the Head of the House take all the benefits and leave a little left to be enjoyed by children.

Edy also added that they are often given leftover food or food that is warmed many times. Edy used this stale milk incident to convince Mother Doctor because she believed the evidence and facts now showed everything. And again, if adults were to ask questions, the children of the home would be willing to tell the truth without fear of being hurt by the cruel Mother Home and the torturer.

In accordance with Edy's estimates, the orphanage was officially revoked and Ms. Panti and several employees who helped her were detained on suspicion of child exploitation. While the other residents of the orphanage are adopted by other families or transferred to a child shelter. Not a few were sent to other orphanages.

Edy who managed to realize all his plans was back to get bad luck because the Mother Doctor brought Edy to live with her and her husband and daughter who Edy had seen some time ago.

Edy was very happy and happy. He was treated like a real child in the house. Especially by the husband of the Doctor's mother. The adult man was very caring and loving. When the Doctor's mother goes to work, she looks after and watches over Edy and her daughter. He even cooked food for Edy.

The man really became a role model and role model for Edy who was still a child. Although the Mother Doctor's Husband has a little odd because he often moves his legs, hands, or flashes repeatedly, Edy is not too dizzy with it.

Seeing how he loved and cared for his family made Edy very amazed and happy. Especially with the Doctor's own mother. Edy who never felt the warmth and beauty of a mother's affection began to get it from her adoptive mother.

However, all of Edy's happiness didn't last long. A terrible tragedy tore apart the brief happiness he had just felt during that matter of weeks.

Edy opened her eyes. Memories of the past always make him fall asleep and forget time. How not, everything that happened in the past that made Edy become who he is today.

With a single deep breath, Edy rose from the bamboo chair that had become a place to sit and lean. Now he has no time to reflect and remember the past. After hearing that one of the pieces failed and was caught, just wait for the time until the piece mentions its name.

To be honest Edy had expected something like this would happen. However, he did not expect that everything would happen this fast. Edy has not prepared anything to face the authorities. He also still has not finalized his plan if he really has to live on the run later.

It is true, hiring people close to the enemy can be a strength but can also give him a loss. Edy who told someone to spy on people around Kiran also found out that Naya's older brother was a troubled person. In fact, he was held by several people because of the debt that entangled him. Seeing the opportunity, Edy intends to take advantage of the man. He paid the debt owned by Naya's sister and asked her to spy on all her movements in exchange for what Edy had done for her.

It proved to be effective because by hiring Naya's older sister, she could figure out whatever Kiran and Roka were doing. He knows how their plans and strategies are and the fact that the three are beginning to realize that they are being followed. Through Naya's older brother, Edy also learns crucial things that he cannot reach when hiring outside spies.

Now when Naya's closest person is found out, Edy is sure the man will not hesitate to reveal his identity. Although Edy never really showed her face and name, it is not impossible that Naya's sister realized who Edy's identity really is.

At that time, Edy was still not too panicked because he believed that Naya's brother did not fully know who he was. However, he did not know that his innocence made his identity known.

That afternoon, while assigning Naya's sister to inject poison into Kiran's intravenous fluids, she did wear a mask, hat, and jacket to avoid being exposed to self-identity. However, when he turned around after giving his orders, the small bag he was wearing was in a slightly open position. Unknowingly, the captain's armband that he put in there was seen by Naya's brother. And the worst thing about it was, Edy didn't realize at all that he had been caught. That Kiran and those who love her will not remain silent.
