Doctor Naura

Chapter 17 Truth

"Mira.... Miranti.... Do you recognize me?" Aunt Erlinda approached the paralyzed woman near the wooden chair. Nindya let us in.

"grandmother...." Suddenly running around jumping out of the front room of a beautiful little girl. Her hair was braided and clamped with red tape. She wore a purple dress happily. His rifle suddenly stopped seeing our presence. Slowly he held the hand of Nindya who was already standing behind his grandmother sitting down. The woman in the chair ignored Aunt Erlinda who had even prostrated herself on her thigh. She was even nanar, her eyes fixed on me and doctor Nina alternated.

"Adek..., what's his name baby? Come play with aunt outside." I tried to seduce the little girl from seeing the commotion.

"No way." He brushed my hand. The paralyzed woman stared at me incessantly.

"Mira, please speak. You exchange where my son is?" Aunt Erlinda begged again. But the paralyzed woman looked to the side.

"Mira, I'm sorry." Suddenly, Mr. Ram was awake and kneeling to aunt Mira. Aunt Mira just stared intently at the two. Aunt Erlinda's family just waited outside the house. I was still standing near them. Sometimes I smile at a cute little girl who looks scared.

"Mira, Mira please speak. Please forgive me Mira." Mr. Ram begged again.

"I didn't know you were gonna be like this. What's wrong with you? What's wrong with your body?" Mr. Ram, a man who when walking from the entrance gate to the exit again from the large government hospital, people looked down at him. Now, a cry, waving in front of a decile paralyzed woman in the middle of the forest.

"Punish me. Speak Mira. Speak...." Mr. Ram is still in a tight mood. Aunt Erlinda silently sculpted. He stood biting his thumb and moved his right foot to the floor..

"I'm sorry Mira. And please, our baby where did you exchange it?" Aunt Erlinda is back to Aunt Mira. Aunt Mira slowly turned her head. He held up his chin arrogantly.

"Don't you guys have it? Isn't he with you? What are you asking? I can't understand it. Understandably I'm just a poor woman, the son of a building porters who to be able to be a nurse only teased bloody collect rupiah. Everywhere I'm treated like shit...." Slowly the voice of Aunt Mira came out of her mouth.

"You must have changed it!" Aunt Erlinda. Aunt Mira is still relaxed.

"What am I doing."

"You must have done it. Once a day he entered the incubator clearly blood type A, why can it turn into B? Say, who did you trade with?" Aunt Erlinda screamed again.

"I didn't do it. I don't feel the need to do it." Aunt Mira answered.

"You lied to Mira! You remember you used to threaten me." Aunt Erlinda emotion.

"How could I possibly threaten a Governor's daughter. Speak to the sensible." Aunt Mira smiled cynically. He cut off Aunt Erlinda's speech.

"Mira, please Mira, where did you exchange our biological children?" Mr. Ram is begging at this time.

"Self? Don't you want a real child?" Aunt Mira is getting cynical. He stared harassing Mr. Ram.

"What do you mean?" Mr. Ram asked.

"Ah no-no-no. Papa just wait outside let mama ask Mira." Aunt Erlinda tried to push Mr. Ram's body towards the door. But Mr. Ram survives.

"What do you mean Mira?" mr. Ram asked in confusion.

"What do you mean? How could you forget the text you sent when I told you I was pregnant with Ram. I'm pregnant with your flesh and blood. But you don't care. You even suggested that I have an abortion. How could a great doctor advise his lover to have an abortion just for the sake of marrying a young girl, the son of an official. The apprentice girl wants a Governor's son. You weren't married at the time. You're still secretly dating Erlinda. You told me to have an abortion. How could I possibly do it. I have sinned fornicating with you. I can't commit a big sin anymore. I will not kill my own flesh and blood. No." Aunt Mira was crying. His shoulders were shaking violently in Nindya's arms. Mr. Ram looked at Aunt Erlinda sharply. He held onto the shoulder of Aunt Erlinda who could only look down.

"What have you done Linda?" Mr. Ram held back his emotions. He let go of the grip on Aunt Erlinda's shoulder violently. Then turned back to look at Aunt Mira.

"Mira, for God's sake I never knew you were pregnant." Mr. Ram spoke again to aunt Mira.

"How could you not know? While you reply to every smsku so haughtily. You said forget me, I will soon marry Erlinda, the Governor's daughter. And abort in a private hospital. You'll pay the bill." Aunt Mira is crying again. He is venting his emotions that may be delayed for a long time. Decades.

"I really didn't know you were pregnant with Miranti."

"Lied!" Aunt Mira cut. Then Mr. Ram looked into the eyes of aunt Erlinda again full of emotion.

"Have you done this?" Ram wants to beat his wife.

"Papa don't!" Doctor Nina came in. He tried to break up. Mr. Ram lowered his hand.

"What have you done with that text?" Mr. Ram held back the anger. His teeth were grinding, his eyes were starting to turn red.

"Mira say you trade with who's my son?" Aunt Erlinda spoke again.

"Mira you can tell me enough that you traded with who my baby was at the time. Then we'll go." Aunt Erlinda asked again. Aunt Erlinda's getting uncomfortable.

"I didn't do it." Still relaxed aunt Mira replied.

"You lied. You must have traded it. Before you stop working there and disappear, you whisper in my ear your threat."

"What is my threat do you still remember the Governor's great daughter?" Tanye Mira trifles.

"You said that time. 'If Ram doesn't want to babysit his biological children with me. You'll never babysit your own biological children." As soon as Aunt Erlinda mimicked the threat of aunt Mira who just smiled cynically? Nindya and I looked at each other. While aunt Erlinda held back her emotions. Aunt Mira just talks casual.

"Did Mira really have a child with me?" Mr. Ram hesitantly asked. Aunt Mira held Nindya's hand tightly.

"This is your flesh and blood. If you don't believe me you can do a DNA test. You know Ram? How many times have I been shaken because of you? Each time you have to fill out the school entry form. I was confused and embarrassed when I had to fill his father's name. Until Nindya always made fun of her friends, from Kindergarten she was insulted illegitimate children, had no father. He often came home with a bloody arm after being thrown by schoolmates with stones. He complained of being made fun of for not having a father. His school book is torn apart. His stationery is wasted. Until finally Nindya could not even have to continue school until finishing high school. You know Ram? You know how I felt back then, plus when Nindya had to marry the judge? You know Ram how much my grief grew when she abused her husband's family and ended up in a divorce? You know what it's like to enjoy having to raise your own children outside of marriage. Now because all life outside seems to be harassing us. We chose to be quiet, pulled away from the crowd. Separate yourself from people's cynical views." Aunt Mira long talk. Nindya went into the room to take her son. Then come out again to approach aunt Mira. He looked at Mr. Ram and we took turns.

"I'm sorry, son. I really never knew Mira was pregnant. I never texted you in question." Mr. Ram rests at the feet of Nindya who is only able to cry. Mr. Ram wanted to hug Nindya but Nindya instead dodged. He was confused in the face of reality at this moment. I never thought he would see a moment like this. Knowing who his real father was after years of being kept a secret from his mother.

"I'm sorry Mira. I'm sorry papa. Indeed I who happened to see the text in and reply directly without your knowledge. That was a long time ago. At that time I was completely blinded by the eyes of his heart. I deleted all the texts and never once told papa." Aunt Erlinda blushed for mercy.

"Plac!" Mr. Ram's hand suddenly floated to the left cheek of aunt Erlinda.

"Stop Ram, there's no point in any more." Aunt Mira warned.

"I'm sorry Mira. Right by Allah I swear I never knew you were pregnant." Mr. Ram apologized again.

"It no longer makes any difference between hating you for a lifetime and forgiving." Aunt Mira explained.

"Mira where's my son? Who did you trade with?" Aunt Erlinda asked.

"alright. I also don't want to feel guilty until I meet the end of my life." Aunt Mira started talking. We focus on listening.

"Then, when they were together in the NICU room I happened to picket had the opportunity to exchange two troubled babies in the incubator. Your son Erlinda has excess bilirubin and has been shined blue. There is another baby with respiratory problems. He was born prematurely. At that time there were only 3 baby patients in the NICU. 1 man."

"Who's Mira's parents' name?" Aunt Erlinda cut. Mr. Ram looked at aunt Mira and aunt Erlinda alternately. I don't know what he was doing at the time.

"I don't know. I forgot."

How could you forget? Do you remember whose son he was?" Aunt Erlinda pecked again.

"You can't force me to remember." Aunt Mira talking cynical. Nindya gives a packet of medicine that has been opened to aunt Mira.

"Drink mom, it's twelve o'clock. You should take your medicine before you eat." Then without further ado aunt Mira downed four types of drugs given by Nindya.

"You go. I'll take a break." Nindya spoke carefully. He never really looked at us. Down often. He seems very shy.

"Mira, please, once again help me, who's the one you exchanged his son with." Aunt Erlinda spoke again. But aunt Mira has gone up to Nindya's shoulder, she's going to the room. And then Ram's eyes came in. I heard Mr. Ram wailing, crying in the room.

"I'm sorry Miranti, I'm sorry son. I'm sorry this useless man. I'm sorry."

"Go Ram, wait until my life is in my throat. I'll decide to forgive you or make you regret for the rest of my life." Aunt Mira's voice sounded soft but sharp slashing. Mr. Ram came out of the room crying.

"Please Mira, you must remember the name of her parents...." Back aunt Erlinda bows her head into the room. A little girl, curled up and already hugging her paralyzed grandmother in fear.

"Go home, I have nothing more to say." Aunt Mira answered.

"I'm not going home until you say it. Whose son did you trade with? You're intelligent. You must remember the names of his parents. Aunt Erlinda even threatened not to come home. While aunt Mira's granddaughter is getting scared.

"alright. For my frightened grandson to see you. You home. Look for documents at the hospital where you gave birth. Find a person with an identity on the day of birth. Look at my handwriting report. Your son I exchanged for his son."

"You call him. You must remember who it is."

"Effort a little, are you not ashamed of how frail your soul is that which does not at least try to flap its wings but wants to fly high. You're still as embarrassing as when you want a man who's almost a man's husband. Go." Aunt Mira expels aunt Erlinda.

"I told you, Mira, I'm not leaving here until you explain. There's no way I'm unpacking documents that are twenty-eight years old. You also know, the document period will be destroyed after twenty years through examination." Aunt Erlinda cries in frustration. He forced aunt Mira to speak. Aunt Mira saw her grandson growing more and more frightened. I don't know what trauma he had.

"alright. You forget that you gave birth to a daughter the same day as your high school friend?" Aunt Mira reminds aunt Erlinda.

"Is that possible with Sofie's baby?" Aunt Erlinda.

"But Sofie's baby was kidnapped and never found until now." Aunt Erlinda sounded desperate. He was sitting by the door of Aunt Mira's wooden house. Aunt Erlinda covered her face with both palms. She even started to pull her own hair. Aunt Erlinda cried. Doctor Nina tried to wake Aunt Erlinda from her seat.

"Let's go home first...." Doctor Nina seduce.

"You go home first, son. Mama's still waiting for Mira to speak honestly." Aunt Erlinda still hopes.

"Go, I'm getting sick of you. I want a break." Aunt Mira shouted from inside the room.

"I'm not leaving until you're honest about everything." Aunt Erlinda still pushy.

"Your nature has not changed at all. Still stubborn and want to win by yourself. Find your son I exchanged with Sofie's...." Aunt Mira tries to be kind.

"But he's been kidnapped and hasn't seen anyone until now...." Aunt Erlinda reminded.

"That's a lie! The one who dumped Sofie's baby was her own husband. He threw it in front of the door of a large house at about 3 a.m. I know everything. I know Sofie's husband very closely. He even told me the reason for throwing away their baby girl. He said it wasn't Bayu's son. Bayu married Sofie when he was two." We looked at each other. How could pak Bayu her aunt Sofie's husband do that. Throwing his wife's baby away with another man, then pretending to try to take me to the house of the mother who found me. Pretending to block my adoption papers. Everything is just imaging. So that aunt Sofie is absolutely sure that Mr. Bayu is not the mastermind.

"How could everything be as true as aunt Mira's talk? Can all of his words be trusted?" I was the first time in the garden house to ask a question. All of a sudden I look at me. Aunt Erlinda even stood up and held my shoulder. He pulled me into the room where Aunt Mira was.

"So you mean, the baby Nia's mother found in front of her house is my baby? And Nina is Sofie's son?" Aunt Erlinda asked for clarity again. Aunt Mira looked at me.

"You have enough memory to process my words Erlinda." Aunt Mira took off her wand, she slowly laid down her body on the thin bed.

"If that's true, then my real son is here, right, Mira?" Aunt Erlinda held tightly to my hand. I just kept quiet. Mr. Ram came near me.

"That means you're my real son, want a doctor...." Mr. Ram palpated my cheek. Her tears began to fill her eyelids. I just kept quiet. Either there's a lot of turbulent feelings. Excited, very happy if this is true news. I found my real parents. But on the other side of the heart. There was a deep feeling of sadness. For what reason? I don't understand either.

"Mira, if your words are right, then this, this is Mira, this is my baby that you traded first...." Aunt Erlinda pulled my hand closer to Aunt Mira.

"I was expecting it. Now leave. Uh yeah, besides the DNA test, you can check your biological children. I remember changing her diaper. On the upper right thigh she has 5 circular moles." Aunt Mira explained. The deg! Heart's pounding. No one knows except my father's mother and my three brothers. If aunt Mira knows the position of my unique mole. That means no more wrong. I'm the son of the Director's father and Erlinda's aunt who has been swapped.

"Sir doctor, do you have a mole as intended?" Aunt Erlinda asked me. Mr. Ram was waiting for my answer. Doctor Nina started looking at me unhappily. Nindya looked at me occasionally. If I looked back at her she would take her eyes off, so would her little girl. I can't speak anymore. Only a slow nod of the head matures confidence. I'm indeed the director's son and Erlinda's aunt. They hugged me. While doctor Nina, slowly away, left us with a car that was boarded together earlier. The driver was confused. The afternoon before morning changed, the hot sun stung our skin. The leaves on the plantation swayed merrily in the wind. The towering branches of wood waving brought our awareness of the beautiful harmony of nature. Syahdu, in the midst of the chirping sound of the kasmaran sparrow, the dim singing of branches swayed in the wind. My heart is rumbling. Not only cheerful, but it seemed to find a new wound.
