COMMONWEALTH
Episode 35's
Mbah Suti observed Sekar who was sleeping soundly in the room.
The movement of his hands slowed this time fearing inflicting it on Sekar. Mbah Suti has prepared lunch, fruit and snacks for now if he has woken up. Everything was neat and clean.
She opened her eyes after Mbah Suti left her home. By locking back in the back room.
I stared out the window, not yet awake and out of the room. He enjoys his silence at this time. His skin this time pale and stiff, because it never get sunlight. Immediately drink the solution. She wants to see her husband as soon as possible.
"Are you okay? why do you look tired?"
"I have to go where else to hide, every person around me, long ago my inner premonition said they would hurt me or even kill me secretly."
"If I could stay longer near you, maybe your fate wouldn't always be hiding like this."
"What else should I do? I lose my mind if I feel lonely, can I get a place that gives at least peace until I give birth."
"I think this place is most comfortable for you right now, Mbah Suti does no harm at all he only protects you with the sciences of his ancestors first, indigenous beliefs that he still considers potent."
She tried to touch her husband, but it was useless. She only made black smoke glow around her husband.
Before long Aryo's figure melted into black smoke and slowly fused away. While the solution in the bottle was only a little. There is no way Aryo every hour he calls continuously while the solution is a little. If it is not urgent and urgent. Fresh for the future may not be able to drink the solution too often. Because the solution will not be enough to drink until the time of delivery if Sekar still wants to see and communicate with Aryo.
Suddenly the skin blisters and itches. He looked at the sky outside dark and cloudy. Black clouds began to cloud.
Sekar felt a tremendous nausea, it was like something was going to come out of his stomach. Protruding here and there as if wanting to explode and forcefully come out of his stomach.
Sekar began to sweat cold and chaotic at that time, he survived as much as possible until the pain that gnawed his entire body was even greater the pain impulse until his spine seemed to crumble and almost broke.
"Will my baby come out this fast? or is this a false contraction? isn't it two months away?"
Sekar increasingly uncertain and resigned this time. Even if he died there was no one to help him right now, he had already resigned.
Out there the bright lights flashed like fireworks clashing between dark skies.
Sekar was lying resigned still on the bed, with all its limitations. Heavy rain began to fall until the sound of lightning burst.
The bed sheet has now changed color, Sekar has bleeding. Suddenly Mbah Suti was already standing in the doorway of Sekar's room.
"Did you give birth to a baby?"
Sekar stared at Mbah Suti despite being in pain. I still hear the words of Mbah Suti.
"The incarnate baby must not live, will wreak havoc on his mother in the future" explained Mbah Suti
"Don't do that, because it was my agreement with my husband before he died."
Mbah Suti directly helped Sekar.
"But there must be one who relents."
"Save my baby please, don't mind my safety. If anything happens later promise me to take care of my baby." Sekar's message.
"How can I break my promise, your request is too much."
"Save my baby."
The labor process can not be held anymore, with makeshift equipment. The baby forced her out. Nearly two hours of Mbah Suti with his expertise over the years helped the delivery. With enough tension.
"Don't let anyone else know where my baby is in other people's knowledge."
........
The baby has come out. Now in the lap of Mbah Suti.
"Let me give him milk" said Sekar who was still pale.
Mbah Suti gave the baby into the hands of Sekar.
Mbah Suti went to the kitchen to prepare herbs for Sekar and his body fitness after giving birth.
Not until forty-five minutes, Mbah Suti was curious about the sound of Sekar and Bayinya who was so calm in the room as usual.
But how surprised Mbah Suti saw the mouth of the baby who was covered in blood in the sling.
While Sekar was lying motionless again.next to him the bottle of solution spilled and broke just yet had time to be swallowed.
That night also Sekar's body was buried, now lived the baby with Mbah Suti. Sekar's death has become a byword in the community where he lives. Even Mbah Suti must be forcibly removed from the place if he still wants to care for the baby.
Mbah Suti had already promised Sekar, finally that night he fled the night by carrying the baby. To a remote area nearly an hour from where he lives now.
The baby is now crying because of hunger, Mbah Suti tried to give bottle milk but, the baby refused. Many times like that. Mbah Suti now realized, finally Mbah Suti gave his index finger. Even though he held it. As strong as possible in her cradle in the bamboo hut relics of her late husband's garden.
The longer the stronger the baby straws suck the blood Mbah Suti.
Mbah Suti's body now after many hours without energy again, now began to weaken. He has run out of blood.
In the morning by the residents who were passing through the Mbah Suti hut, hearing the sound of the baby's cries that did not stop, his mouth covered with blood.
While Mbah Suti's body has been stretched stiff lifeless again.
They immediately forcibly opened the bamboo hut, spontaneously they were surprised to see the old woman's body stiffened, while the baby was lying beside her.
After taking care of his funeral Mbah Suti.
Finally they brought the baby home, there was a conversation between the two married men who had no children to take the baby as their child.
The baby smiled, when picked up by the couple.
It's completed.......
