CONFINEMENT

CH 138 - RINAI RAINS AT THE DROUGHT END OF PART II

"What's going on outside, Me Iluh?"

"I heard a noise outside." asked Sariwati to her loyal servant.

"Come on, Ni Mas."

"It seems like the master and the big madam are having a fight with Ni Mas Habsari."

"Meme had seen the great master slap Ni Mas Habsari." Me Iluh replied to his bedridden master, while Tiara fell asleep hugging the body of the mother beside him.

"Oh, yeah."

"What else is done by the brother so that Papi wrath like that" said Sariwati lirih.

Me Iluh who was sitting across the bed just fell silent to hear the words of his master.

"Me, is it true that our house is currently heavily guarded by the Bhayangkara forces of the Coast Country?"

"Tadi Tiara had told me about it." asked Sariwati to Me Iluh again.

With a sense of doubt, Me Iluh just nodded his head answering Sariwati's question.

"What's going on, Me?"

"Will you tell me?" the woman asked her servant.

"I don't really know for sure, Ni Mas."

"Maybe my husband knows because a few months ago he had taken the great master to pick up Ni Mas Habsari at Bhayangkara headquarters" Me Iluh replied briefly.

"Oh, yeah."

"Does this have anything to do with the strict guarding of this house by the Bhayangkara?" sariwati asked back, but Me Iluh just shook his head with a face full of doubt answering all her employer's questions.

"Me, can you lift Tiara for a moment, my hands are tingling." Sariwati asked Me Iluh.

The old woman scrunched her forehead but she hurriedly lifted up the body of Tiara who was sound asleep while holding Sariwati.

"Ni Mas, what did Ni Mas Wati say just now?"

"Don't .." said Me Iluh astonished after lifting Tiara's body.

"Either Me, from a week ago my back to my neck was hot and my hands started tingling."

"All that happened since I routinely drank the herbs that Papi brought me." Sariwati replied to her maid.

"My body was burning and my hands and back were hot but my legs still couldn't feel anything."

"Please help me to lean on the bed, Me."

"I want to sit leaning back, the heat on my back is now starting to feel." Pinta Sariwati back who looks grimacing to endure the pain.

With her face mixed between joy and wonder, Me Iluh helped her master to sit leaning on the bed.

"Hopefully Ni Mas will recover as soon as possible" said Me Iluh could not cover his excitement, the woman seemed to start massaging Sariwati's calf slowly after leaning back.

Sariwati just smiled seeing the reaction of her maid.

"Just pray, Me."

"I've been troubling everyone a lot."

"Otherwise in taking care of my daughter."

"I want to be a full mother to Tiara, only Tiar is the encouragement of my life at this time Me." said the woman who still looks ayu with a smile even though her body is thin with a pale face.

"Do I need to call you master and great mistress, Ni Mas?"  ask Me Iluh back.

Sariwati simply blinked her eyes while smiling at the old woman before her.

Me Iluh immediately walked out of the room to the living room where Mr. Bendowo and Ms. Warika were located.

Before long, the old woman faced and told what Sariwati had experienced to her two masters.

Madam Warika who was still sobbing after witnessing the quarrel between her husband and eldest daughter now her face is lifted, the gaze as if in disbelief heard the story of Me Iluh, as well as Mr. Bendowo.

"Br ... Wati, Pi!" madam Warika said to her husband.

"Yes, Mi .. let's look at our daughter." replied Mr. Bendoro as he got up from his seat and stepped into Sariwati's room followed by Madam Warika and Me Iluh behind him.

Not long after, the three had been in Sariwati's room.

Seeing her daughter sitting leaning on the edge of the bed, Madam Warika accelerated her steps toward Sariwati, hugging her tightly with her smallest child while holding back tears.

"Is that what Me Iluh said, Nduk?" the old woman asked the princess while holding Sariwati's shoulder.

Sariwati just smiled and now the mother hugged her back, kissed both cheeks Sariwati vent her love.

Mr. Bendowo also approached the two men while Me Iluh just stood staring while occasionally wiping his tears at the sight before him.

"Thank God, Wati."

"In the end, Papi's efforts were not in vain to find all over the Emerald Country a cure for your recovery."

"It turns out that the medicinal herb given by the female Physician from Galuh was actually reacting."

"Hopefully after you drink it regularly, your health will recover as before" Mr. Bendowo told Sariwati greeted with a smile of happiness lady Warika who continued to hug her daughter as if she did not want to let go.

"Luh, from now on you should pay more attention to the condition of Wati."

"Make warm water and sprinkle with salt to soak his feet every day" Mr. Bendowo told Me Illuh who stood not far from where he was.

"Okay big master, I will do well everything for Ni Mas's recovery" Me Iluh replied as he nodded his head respectfully at Mr. Bendowo.

"You rest first, Ning."

"A full day I see you working, let Niang continue." said the old woman white with a neatly knotted hair, her old face still leaves a streak of beauty.

A smiling young lady saw the presence of a person whom she deeply respected.

"It's okay, Niang."

"Stage, it's about to be over" the young lady replied, continuing to review the smile.

"Yes, Niang knows."

"But you also have to pay attention to the condition of your womb."

"Here, let the medicinal plant be Niang who was drying it." the old woman said as she grabbed the look made of woven bamboo from the young woman's hand.

"It's okay, Niang."

"In fact, Disya's body will feel sore if only silence is not active."

"At the same time the medicinal ingredients will be immediately taken by the order and we have run out of supplies." replied the two-bodied woman again.

"Hi, you're this."

"Bas stubborn."

"Well, let's finish our work soon, the sun's hot in the heat." said the old woman who was none other than Gung Niang Mirah while pinching Disya's nose was anxious and both of them laughed.

While occasionally being seen laughing with small talk both Gung Niang Mirah and Disya continue their work, both look familiar like a grandmother with her granddaughter.

"Niang is proud of you, Ning."

"You're a good man" said

Gung Niang Mirah on Disya back, glimpsed the belly of the girl who began to grow bigger.

With a wry smile, the young lady said.

"Maybe it's a sign of my destiny, Niang."

"It's no use being regrettable."

"Even though I don't want any of this to happen, the fetus in my womb is innocent."

"He is the care of the Almighty to me, which I must accept even if the way I do not expect" said Disya still smiling wryly and a thin dew of dew lingering on her eyelids.

Gung Niang Mirah put his face in his hand, the old woman hugged the nearby Disya.

The two cried, he led the young woman to a bamboo hall under a Japanese tree not far from where she stood.

"You're right, Ning."

"It's all divine."

"In this twilight age, Niang is very lucky to meet a woman like you."

"Hopefully you will find your happiness later, Ning." said Anak Agung Estri Sumirah who is familiarly called Gung Niang Mirah by Galuh banjar residents.

Gung Niang Mirah is one of the famous Physicians in the Galuh Banjar, besides that he is a descendant of blue blood Pragusti Beach Country.

The old woman stroked Disya's long waist-length hair affectionately.

Almost eight full moons of Disya have lived with him since the old woman found him on the riverbank in a state of distress and fainting at that time.

"Oh yes, later in the afternoon the messenger who ordered the medicinal ingredients will take it here, have you prepared, Ning? gung Niang Mirah asked Disya.

"Here you go, Niang."

"Everything I have tied up as usual" replied Disya while wiping her tears with the tip of the veil she was wearing.

"It's good that you've prepared."

"According to the messenger of the order, the current state of his employer's children has begun to develop after routinely taking our drug concoction."

"And later in the afternoon, the master will come here to take his own" said Gung Niang Mirah with a smile.

"Thank God, Niang."

"I'm also happy, if what Niang is doing can help people who really need" said Disya.

"Yes, it's all also thanks to your hard work helping Niang, Ning."

"Said, the son of the drug potion we concocted was long paralyzed since he gave birth."

"And at this time he began to be able to move his body even though he was still helped by a cane while walking." Gung Niang Mirah explained to Disya.

The two-bodied woman asked again,

"Did such an event experienced by the child drug users often befall the woman who gave birth, Niang?

"I'm afraid it will happen to me." asked Disya.

"Not everything, Ning."

"It happens only in certain cases."

"If you look at your liveliness and the condition of your body, it will not happen." added Gung Niang Mirah back, staring at Disya's face fixedly.

"What's up, Ning?"

"Something seems to be in your heart."

"Tell Niang, who knows, lighten your load a little" said Gung Niang Mirah back.

With a feeling of doubt, Disya lowered her face, her fingers were seen twisting the end of the veil she was wearing.

"I miss Dad, Niang."

"I don't know anything about him at the moment."

"And I can't go home with this condition, how would you feel if you knew I was pregnant?"

"Surely he will be very sad." said Disya softly, returning from her eyelids flowing clear details of tears.

Gung Niang Mirah sighed, at his trunk back Disya's hair covered in a thin white veil.

"Patiently, Ning."

"Niang will ask We Lanus for help to find out about your father."

"We Lanus often visited the city of the Coast Country while bringing fish for his merchandise."

"Later Niang will meet her" the woman's physician told Disya.
