Doctor Naura

Chapter 27 Bringing Aunt Mira

Mom and Dad went back to Mentok. Stay me and bang Zamy in my house. Previously I had prepared everything necessary for Thursday tomorrow, April 16, 2020. Friday has come. Father and bang Zamy have registered marriage to KUA Bukit Intan. Papa has fixed will be my marriage guardian. Father and mother only returned to Mentok for two days, taking care of leave and taking other supplies. Wednesday they will come again to Pangkalpinang. Not much preparation. Only close friends are invited. It was also so difficult to ask for crowd permission approval from Taman Sari police station. Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you. Yesterday we had time to pick up Nindya, Annisa and Aunt Mira from home in her garden. At first they refused. But bang Zamy seduced mbak Nindya on the grounds of accompanying me who is still under surveillance because there are bad people sending me.

"We send prayers, may you be happy...." Nindya said yesterday.

"Naura wants this wedding to be attended by my only sister." I'm pasting. Nindya's mother looked towards Aunt Mira.

"Why do you want to bring garbage like us. It'll just embarrass you...." Aunt Mira was fond of me.

"Tante.., there's no family trash. Nindya is my real sister. Her mother is also my mother. If you don't want to stay in the main house with me. Aunty and Nindya as well Annisa can stay in the villa behind." I'm explaining. Behind there was a tiny building, right under the shade of the trees. It was about twenty meters from my house to the back garden. During this villa used yuk Mairoh for day rest. Now the back room is used by Mr. Rohim as well as a place of rest. A simple villa with two bedrooms, one living room and a kitchen. The terrace is spacious with various types of neatly maintained flowers in front of it.

"Later your parents don't like Naura." Aunt Mira was still hesitating. He looked at us in turn.

"We came here with their aunt's consent...." Bang Zamy who had just been silent began to talk.

"Now just pack your clothes. Just leave something that's not really needed." Bang Zamy reminded me again. Aunt Mira holds Bang Zamy's hand.

"Why are you so nice to us? While my family has been away from me ever since I found out I was pregnant out of wedlock...." Aunt Mira then cried. She kissed Bang Zamy's hand which slowly pulled her away from feeling unworthy of being kissed by an older person.

"Tante.., long before Zamy knew Nindya Naura's sister, Zamy had asked you to stay at my house in the clinic many times. But you always refuse. Now it is clear that Nindya is Naura's biological sister, and I besides her foster brother Naura, I will be her husband. It is my duty to your lives." Bang Zamy argues for length.

"We can't just sleep eating in your house. Moreover, aunty like this, well if in the garden, Nindya can grow crops and earn money from gardening. Is it if we come with you? How will we survive?" Aunt Mira speaks thoughtfully.

"Don't think about money and auntie food, as long as we can still eat, the aunt of the family will not let us starve. Later mbak Nindya can occasionally go to the garden kok." Bang Zamy who has known them for five years is talking casually explained. Me and Nindya just quietly listened. Annisa sits on her mother's lap.

"When we go to Zamy's, can Nisa go to school?" Suddenly with her laxity Nisa asked her mother who was only able to nod and hinted for her to shut up.

"Yes son, later if it is at the house of aunt Naura, Nisa can go to school at TK Pertiwi which is not far from home. Your mother can keep an eye on you. Grandma too, om Zamy can easily monitor his health. Easy to take him to the hospital so he can routinely seek treatment. In the garden? It's hard to get there." Bang Zamy invited Nisa to speak.

"She can't wait to go to school. Tappii...." The beautiful little girl suddenly stopped talking. His eyes that had sparkled suddenly dimmed and again looked disappointed.

"But why?" I asked as I approached Annisa.

"But I don't have the money to buy a school bag. Nisa's mother said she had to wait for the yam harvest first, then Nisa could buy a new bag, bukuuu.., 'penseeel', new clothes, but the sweet potato until rotten no one boughtii...." Annisa watering eyes. The precious crystal fell on his cheek. I didn't realize I was shedding tears.

"Is it true that no one bought the sweet potatoes until they were rotten?" I asked Nindya. He just smiled down.

"That's his 'tokeh', he can't buy yams now, stuff shouldn't be taken out of the area because of the virus season." Nindya explained. I glanced at bang Zamy.

"Owh. Then later buy the same school tools aunt Naura alone." I'm trying to get more familiar with Annisa.

"But Nisa has no aunt's money." The girl innocently spoke.

"We can ask Zamy for money. Zamy has a lot of money." I spoke while glancing at bang Zamy again.

"Oh sure. Money om Zamy a lot, can make buy a bag Nisa two pieces to replace if dirty washed, shoes two, sandals two. same drawing book color pencil buy two dozen. Anyway money om Zamy buaaanyak dah.., and enough to buy Nisa needs." Bang Zamy smiled promisingly. I saw the little girl's eyes again sparkling with excitement.

"Already Nisa, don't burden Zamy's om continue." Suddenly aunt Mira reminded the little girl. Instantly he was silent. His eyes looked at his mother's eyes, but Nindya couldn't speak. He just looked down as if he was contemplating his fate.

"Other aunt.., we are not burdened in the least. Zamy's even happy to be reunited with this family." Bang Zamy smiled saying it all.

"Just a prayer in return for your kindness. May you be a fool to death, given the offspring of sholih and sholihah, smooth fortune, and always healthy...." Aunt Mira shed tears.

"Aamiin aunt, aunty prayer is more than enough for us." Bang Zamy answered wisely.

"Later Nindya learned to motorize, in order to ever go to the garden. And the good news again. A few days ago, I met Zainal's doctor, the neurologist who treated Aunt Mira. He said from the results of electromyography, aunt paralysis is not permanent, so there is a great chance that aunt Mira paralysis can be cured. Just have to do occupational therapy more often." Bang Zamy explained. The eyes of aunt Mira and mbak Nindya instantly sparkled.

"really? Really son?" Aunt Mira asked in excitement.

"Doctor Zainal said so." Bang Zamy explained.

"Alright Zamy, Naura, aunty wants to go to your house, aunty hopes to recover so that aunt can return your goodwill." Aunt Mira smiles sumringah. Ms. Nindya was so, immediately they both hugged. Back asa was present, muffling all nestapa. And so, they ended up coming with us. The plank house in the middle of his garden was padlocked. I saw the pile of poisonous wood yam that Nisa said had completely turned reddish-yellow. Piled up about 5 tons unsold. While on the ground there are still many left without being harvested.

Along the way Nisa hummed happily. Especially when we stopped by the row of boutiques along Jalan Baru, close to my house. Bang Zamy let him choose his own bags, shoes, clothes and more. His face is getting cheerful.

Finished shopping for all the needs of Nisa, mbak Nindya and aunt Mira, we immediately went home. I brought Aunt Mira together with my mom and dad. Nothing is strange. My mother and father were good and learned men. They had foster children in several orphanages. I have five children in Palestine. Fathers regularly send their needs through digital communication with bang Onim, an Indonesian volunteer who has long settled and even married Gaza women. Then there is no objection let alone the prohibition on the intention of bang Zamy bringing them home. Only the previous mother had been worried about the use. Does it have anything to do with Aunt Mira. But when he met directly with mbak Nindya and aunt Mira, the suspicion of mother immediately disappeared.

"They're good people, just maybe they haven't been lucky." So did mom's comment when I asked. Finally, with the blessing of mother and father, aunt Mira and family began moving to our villa on Monday, April 13, 2020.

***

We cleaned and tidied the villa together, Mr. Rohim moved his goods to the back room in my house. A room is not as spacious as another room, enough to rest. Fredy came along after calling bang Zamy. Cutiku and bang Zamy have also come out. While cleaning the villa, suddenly there was the sound of a car coming, I don't know from whom, mama then immediately looked for Aunt Mira.

"Miraaa...." Mama called aunt Mira from the villa terrace. Aunt Mira and Nindya are out. Aunt Mira relaxed to face her mother, while Nindya and Annisa seemed a little scared. I approached mama.

"Mira what was your purpose in coming here huh? Do you want to destroy my son's family?" Mama yelling at aunt Mira. His hands were shaking with angry faces.

"Here you go, don't be prejudiced against others. Try to be an adult." I tried to calm my mother. But mom just nodded. Even looking at me cynically.

"What do you mean by staying at Naura's house huh?" Mom still expresses her emotions. He was already right in front of Aunt Mira who was sitting in a wheelchair.

"Hi Erlinda, you see how I am now. With my former circumstances I am incapable of doing anything to you and your family. Especially with my condition like this...." Aunt Erlinda talk resigned.

"Halllaahhh.., your 'ekting' is holy-ass, naive, selling my son's sufferings so that they may have mercy...." My mother was not content to insult. My heart is starting to get uncomfortable. Why is it so hard to face this woman who gave birth to me. Doesn't he first filter out the words that must be removed from his thinking.

"Ma, I'm sorry ma, they're not here to ask, but we're the ones who brought her." I tried to explain again. Mama just moaned dislike. Fredy and Mr. Rohim didn't seem to have witnessed the incident. They just move and tidy things up.

"You guys hey, stop preparing their residences. Just put them back in the garden, so that everything is safe." Mama approaches Fredy and Rohim is at work. I'm shaking. If only he hadn't owned the womb I'd been in, I would've kicked him out. Fredy and Rohim sir also yuk Mairoh stopped working. They stand guard. Bang Zamy came from the direction of my house towards the villa. Mama turned her eyes.

"Hey son, what the hell are you, bringing them to stay here. They're gonna ruin your lives." Mama again provoked our emotions. Bang Zamy didn't respond to mom's talk.

"Mr Nindy, take aunt Mira back." I spoke to the confused Nindya mother. He's according to push his aunt Mira's wheelchair towards the back. Fredy helped.

"Mira! Get the hell out of my son's house. Or I'll make another calculation. Not just bumping into you, but I'm gonna kill you." Mama spoke again. Hearing that, aunt Mira immediately turned her wheelchair. He looked back at Mama.

"Thank you Erlinda, you're still unstable today. I waited decades for your confession to hit me first, but with your father's power, all the real stories sank. Change the opinion that I deliberately wanted to die, crash into your car. I'm still wrong. My family and even my family hated me. Whereas in the past, you deliberately wanted to make me disabled." Aunt Mira smiled cynically. Bang Zamy and I were shocked, how shocking it was. Aunt Mira even lied she was paralyzed from sitting for months. Apparently it was my mother who had hit him on purpose.

"I'm even sorry why I didn't kill you back then." Mama was really outrageous to continue speaking.

"If I had known that you were pregnant then, you might have become a land by now." Mama's back in waistline.

"Ma, what the fuck is all this? Why didn't Mom stop making noise? Go home, ma, get out of this house." I am on the limit of frustration. With the heart I threw him out.

"You kicked me out? It's strange! Here's what it would be like if you've been eaten by that woman's evil talk." Mama arrogantly pointed to Aunt Mira's face.

"There is not a word I hear the talk of aunt Mira as sedition and slander to others ma. Mama should have been conscious all this time." I'm explaining.

"You don't know Naura's evil plan....!" Mother reciprocated.

"Couple your stuff Mira and return to your habitat." Mama insulted me again.

"And Erlindaaa. Go back to that old man you've always been proud of." Suddenly the heavy voice of a man behind us was heard. We all look up. Papa's. Her eyes were reddening withstanding emotions.

"I was lucky to have called someone earlier, so I became aware of what had really happened decades ago. Miranti didn't really want to kill herself, but you hit her." Papa shakily spoke to mama. Mama was surprised, she slowly inched away, then with a driver waiting in the car she immediately left my house. Papa then meets Aunt Mira and prostrates herself on her knee.

"I'm sorry Mirantiii...." Aunt Mira pushed the wheels of her chair leaving papa still sobbing. Then he got up and took a break and left us who were still dumbfounded. Without realizing one by one past events meet the facts. Delivering a variety of flavors that sometimes without control anymore. Bang Zamy took me to meet aunt Mira.

"I'm sorry our aunt, we don't make a troubled aunt here. Rest and stay with us." Bang Zamy explained, then took me back home. While the others continue their work.

"Abang was astonished by the attitude and nature of your biological mother." Bang Zamy spoke after we entered the house.

"Don't brother, Naura is the same. I don't know what exactly my mom wants. And what his true nature is. But hearing his words just now, even more strengthen my desire for aunt Mira to stay here. Count on suppose that Naura paid for all the pain and suffering my biological mama had done." I'm arguing.

"You're a grown-up Bee. Do what you think is good." Bang Zamy supports me. I just nodded convincingly. Morning has also gone, giving a new story again in nature that is filled with the frenetic human with each behavior.
