Contest to be Wife of the President

CH-114 Meet Midwife Eno

The location described by the merchant in the stall was eventually found as well. After there was a sharp dive, Sam saw on the left there is a road uphill, there is a subdistrict office as well.

“It looks like this is the road, we can ask the people passing by,” said Sam, as he turned his car to the left, down the uphill road. But it turns out there is no need to ask people, from the road it has seen a signpost the name of the practice of Midwife Eno.

“That's his home,” Sam said again, Sean tilted his head looking at the writing on the sign.

“Iya right,” said Sean. Sam did not answer, he parked his car in front of Midwife Eno's house, then got out of his car. They saw the house as well as the place of practice was quiet, maybe there were no patients or was on holiday.

Sam pushes the unlocked gate, followed by Sean towards the terrace of the Midwife's house. On the terrace there are chairs and tables on which there are baby scales.

A girl came out the door behind the table. He stared at the arrival of the two men in astonishment as no woman was with them.

“There can be helped?” tanyakanya.

“We want to meet Midwife Eno,” replied Sam.

“From whom?” ask the girl.

“Just want to wonder,” replied Sam.

“Wait a minute,” said the girl then went inside the house. Not how long was the sound from the room next to the door that he was talking about posters about babies.

“Log in!” the girl now appears at the door. Sam and Sean went in.

Inside there was already a woman who was not too old, smiling but filled with a sense of wonder because only now there were only male guests.

“Please sit down, can anyone be helped?” ask Midwife Eno.

Sam and Sean are sitting in the front seat of Midwife Eno's desk.

“Sorry, we just want to ask you something,” replied Sam.

“Something?” midwife Eno asked looked astonished.

“We want to ask if there may be women who are born?” ask Sam. Hearing Sam's question, Midwife Eno laughed instead.

“Of course, many gave birth here,” said Midwife Eno.

“I mean women who are not native to here,” replied Sam.

Being asked so made Midwife Eno surprised, he remembered Lorena who said Mr. Aping was found in the rubber garden but Lorena who introduced herself as Laura had asked him to keep her whereabouts a secret because someone wanted to harm her son.

Sean and Sam looked at each other. When viewed from the looks of these two people and their appearance, there is no evil spirit, but who knows that they are not bad people? In this day and age that seems to be perlente alone can be a bad person.

“It looks like nothing,” Midwife Eno replied lying.

Sam and Sean were disappointed to hear that.

“Whose are you?” ask Midwife Eno.

“We're from the city. My wife and I had a little fight so she got angry and went to her friend's house on the rubber plantation but I don't know where her friend's house is. My wife is pregnant old, estimated giving birth in a week,” replied Sean.

Midwife Eno fell silent again, said the man who claimed to be her husband they had a fight, but in reality Laura was found giving birth alone in a rubber garden, which she said was her husband, maybe her husband is a psychopath who let his wife give birth in a rubber garden. Looks like she really has to keep Laura's whereabouts a secret, or maybe this guy just claims to be her husband, thought Midwife Eno. For sure she had promised Laura not to tell anyone about her whereabouts so she had to keep up.

“Nothing, I do not handle giving birth to strangers,” Midwife Eno said once again.

Sam and Sean look at each other, it turns out that Lorena did not give birth in this Midwife Eno clinic. Sean's heart just got sadder, where should he look? Lorena hasn't given birth yet. Eventually they decided to leave the house of Midwife Eno.

“Is there another clinic around the plantation?” ask Sam.

“There is but in the city, here there is only Midwife practice,” replied Midwife Eno.

“Can we ask where the address is? Who knows my friend's wife gave birth elsewhere,” asked Sam.

“Alright, I will give you the address of the Midwife around the plantation,” said Midwife Eno.

After getting the name of the Midwife who practices around the plantation, Sam and Sean leave the house of Midwife Eno.

“It turns out Lorena didn't give birth here,” Sean said as they were already in the car.

“Yes, maybe Lorena gave birth somewhere else,” Sean replied.

“Or maybe Lorena hasn't given birth. Father said the merchant was his wife gave birth after the estimated day of birth, it could be Lorena had not given birth,” said Sam.

“Yes, you're right,” Sean replied.

From the rearview mirror Sean saw a motorbike that was piggybacking on a pregnant woman who was big into the yard of his house Midwife Eno. He immediately remembered his wife, his eyes immediately turned red, his heart was very sad to lose his beloved wife and baby.

Sam doesn't say anything, he understands Sean's feelings.

“Let's go to another Midwife's house,” take Sam. Sean just nodded.

It wasn't long before Sam ran his car out of Midwife Eno's house.

At Bu Yati's house…

Lorena put Baby Earl to sleep, touching her red cheeks. Every time she looked at her baby, she felt sad, her heart was sliced off in light of the tragic birth of her baby.

“May you be happy, son,” said Lorena.

 Lorena smelled a cooking scent in Bu Yati's kitchen. He went there and saw Bu Yati who was cooking. From the kitchen door that opened towards the back of the house he saw Mr. Aping carrying a lot of green coconuts.

“Why coconut is for what?” lorena asked Bu Yati.

“Make sale tomorrow,” replied Bu yati.

“Jualan?” lorena asked not understanding.

“Iya, rubber is not harvest time, so we sell on the roadside, tomorrow also happens to be weekend,” said Bu Yati.

Lorena remained silent. He felt sorry for Bu Yati's economic condition, his presence only troubled him. But Lorena was confused where she should go? He has no money. He threshed his hand on the wedding ring.

“This is where is the jewelry store?” ask Lorena.

“Away, there are in the city, about an hour more by angkot,” replied Bu Yati.

Lorena touched the ring on her finger. Bu Yati saw that attitude.

“That's your wedding ring?” guess Bu Yati.

“Iya, It's a ring from my husband but it looks like I have to sell it,” Lorena replied as she looked at Bu Yati who was also staring at him.

“I don't have any money, I also owe you guys a Midwife fee. I don't want to burden you guys,” said Lorena.

Bu Yati walked over to Lorena and smiled.

“It's okay, your presence in this house alone makes us very happy. We are happy to help people who are in trouble. You just keep your ring, it's your wedding ring, don't sell it,” said Ms. Yati.

“But..” not finished Lorena talk, Bu Yati cut.

“Do not think too much,” said Bu Yati. Lorena was silent again, she was very grateful to the husband and wife who helped her.

“Then, how about I help you sell?” ask Lorena.

Bu Yati shook her head.

“No need, you take care of Baby Earl. You have not recovered, only yesterday gave birth, you should just lie down, do not walk around,” said Bu Yati.

“I'm very grateful,” said Lorena.

Bu Yati simply nodded and smiled. Lorena promised that if she recovered later and could return to the city or she would go to London, she wanted to help Bu Yati and Pak Aping so that they would not work odd jobs again.
