Part. Ali
At moderate speed I drove my car through the city, to the Mother and Child hospital. A few minutes ago, Mama called me and said, if Ratna contracts faster than the doctor expected.
Upon arriving at my car in the hospital parking lot, I parked my car and got down quickly from the car, stepping foot in a hurry. I can't wait to welcome my baby boy into this world.
I'm sure this time I'm going to get a baby boy, because a couple of USGs, the doctor always says if our baby's a boy. I am really happy to hear it.
After getting information from the receptionist, I went straight to the place where Ratna was handled by the doctor, from a distance I saw Mama and Mbak Rani were sitting restlessly in front of a room.
Looking at her face, like my baby son is not yet born.
"Ma, Ma'am, how's Ratna doing? Was my baby born?" I'm just impatient.
Mama and Mbak Rani simultaneously shook their heads, they said, that Ratna had difficulty in labor. It makes my heart become more agitated.
I chose to sit next to my mother, playing my fingers to ward off the restless race. In order to come to this hospital, I left an important meeting, a project worth billions. Just to welcome my baby boy, I hope to get some good news from the ratna for me.
After waiting for almost two hours, the operation went well. The red light above the door died, as a doctor came out from behind the door. I quickly got up and approached the doctor.
"How's my wife and son doing, Doc?" The doctor opened his mask, a sad look on his face, making me even more worried.
"I'm sorry, sir. Hope you can be patient. We tried our best, but my son could not be saved. Your son's poisoning caused by the food that Mother Ratna consumed, this is what causes your wife to contract faster than her delivery schedule. Again forgive us, sir." The doctor said then left.
Degh!
It felt like being hit by thousands of stones right in my heart, I fell down and sat on the floor. My legs limp as if no longer able to support my sturdy body.
My son? The baby boy I was going to be is gone. My nine-month wait has been lost. How did Ratna get food poisoning? While all this time I was so looking after and pampering him. Actually what happened.
Buk up!
I punched the floor where I was sitting hard, so it hurt and let out fresh blood. I can't tell you how sick and sad my heart is right now. If only I were not ashamed of my status as a man. Maybe I've been crying roaring spilling all the whipping in the heart.
"Ali, you have to be patient, son! This is all fate, I'm sure Ratna can still give you another son." Mama comforted me. Pulling my back slowly, invited me to sit in my seat again.
I heard my lips grimace softly, as she looked at my bleeding hand. For a moment I was silent with an erratic feeling, before my consciousness finally reappeared, I was reminded of something.
"Ma, what's Ratna eating all day?" ask my mom. I saw Mama frowning and shaking her head slowly.
I glanced at Mbak Rani who was sitting next to mama at a glance, the woman looked down her face. "Mbk, tell me. What did Ratna eat, today?"
Ma'am Rani straightened her head and replied to me trembling. "it .., earlier, Ratna ate as usual. There's nothing strange." he said a little stammered.
After that I did not ask again, entered the ward after Ratna was moved. Saw him drowning after the operation. With a sad face.
"Mas, I'm sorry. I'm sorry!" pinta Ratna with tears unceasingly unraveled.
I went to see him after a while and his emotions improved a little. I don't know how many times this woman has talked. Upon learning our son had died, the woman went on a rampage and shouted hysterically. Pointing at the face of Mbak Rani fiercely.
In this room there are only four of us, me, Ratna, Mama, and Mbak Rani.
"Tell me, what exactly happened?" ask her.
I feel like there's something strange between Ratna and Rani's sister. Seen from the look on the face of Mbak Rani who saw Ratna frightened, while Ratna just looked at Rani with hate.
"Say, Ratna! What exactly is going on?!" I can't hold back my emotions anymore this time, my patience is up.
"He!" Ratna pointed at the face of Rani.
"He killed our son, Mas. He gave me food, which after eating made my stomach hurt!" answer Ratna.
Ratna's words just made me and my mother surprised. While Mbak Rani, still lowered her head and played her hand restlessly.
With a rough step I approached the woman who became the mother of my sister's children.My breathing hunted, making me unconsciously raise my hand towards her face violently.
Plakk!
Everyone in the room was silent, Sister Rani looked at me with a sharp look, her left hand holding her red cheek. It was clear that all five of my fingers were on his face.
"How dare you poison my wife and kids, are you tired of living, huh?"
Still overwhelmed by emotion, I grabbed this white woman's hair until she grimaced in pain with tears streaming down her face.
It was not good what I had been all this time to him, as he was expelled by Abang Rio for not being able to give him a successor, a son. I put him up and let him live in my mom's big house. Providing for her needs and her daughters, while Bang Rio was being negligent of his obligations. But what reply did he give me? my family?
With his insistence he poisoned my son and my wife, making my hopes of a son run aground.
"Sorry, Ali. No, no kasud that way! Mbak did not mean to kill the baby in Ratna's womb. It was just an accident. Sorry mbak!" mama Rani pleaded. The woman folded her hands in front of her face.
The accident? He simply said it all. Seeing her flushed face endure the pain of the jambukan I gave, made me throw that frail body over the sofa violently.
I rubbed my face rough. " I won't forgive you this time, Ma'am! I'll report you to the police, so you can pay for all your mistakes!" my hardik to him is loud.
