Doctor Naura
Chapter 95 The Suspicious Scavenger
Three months later...,
Time just passed by, tracing all the feelings in the souls of the perpetrators of life. Bang Rahman was married to Afni a month after the marriage of Bang Fathur and Mbak Nindya. Although it was colored by the incident of burning Bang Rahman's seafood restaurant which only melalap open kitchen, the marriage still lasted wisdom. Meanwhile, Rian, the former lover of Afni, has been languishing in prison because it is clearly visible on CCTV is pouring kerosene towards the kitchen restaurant. The good news is that Ms Nindya has been positive for four weeks. All the families were very happy to hear the good news. And me?
My pregnancy is now nine months and a few days. Waiting for the time of birth. I've had two weeks off. The clinic is filled with Nina who is close to Doctor Zein. Reportedly my aunt has been proposed by doctor Zein. His attitude? It all came back like the beginning we met, he was so kind to me and to the people around us. He really thought I was the rest of the closest family that should be close in his life. He had returned to Aunt Sofie's house which was now normal after fourteen days in Sungai Liat Mental Hospital. After undergoing a series of psychological tests, she was returned home. The attitude of Doctor Nina aka my aunt whom I call Aunty Beautiful has softened the heart of Aunt Sofie.
"I'm sorry Aunt Nora, I'm sorry that aunt shot you and Doctor Zamy. Aunty disappointed with the situation, aunty sick with her own feelings, my favorite son, Irwan languished in prison, plus her aunt husband was caught cheating, while Nina did not know where the limp. Then aunt runs out of sense and considers you the beginning of the cause of everything to happen. But no, after returning to prayer five times correctly like the advice of the ustadzah brought the psychiatrist to the Hospital, aunt began to realize that you are even a little innocent. Even you are the one who was sacrificed all this time. Sorry aunt...." The first time she spoke while hugging me with a broken cry. I hugged him tightly, I gave him a warm touch as a friend, I understood his fragile condition by positioning myself as a child. I whispered those words as an encouragement to his life. The incident occurred at Sungailiat Bangka Mental Hospital, Saturday afternoon when I visited.
"Everyone has done wrong aunt, and when auntie starts to regret the mistakes of the past, it means that aunt is already in a beautiful phase. Doesn't repentance require a serious struggle and the pleasure of God?" I let the woman immerse her face into my chest. Like I was her mother, she cried sobbing that my robe became wet.
"I'm sorry cu, forgive this stupid granny." Aunt Sofie stroked my stomach that moved along carried away.
"There's nothing to forgive aunty, aunty a good man, come back. Let the mistakes of the past be a reminder of our present moment so that we are more careful in our actions." I spoke softly as I loosened my arms as I saw Aunt Sofie slowly raising her head.
"You're so grown up Dora, later, please help aunty return my lost Nina." those are the words starting Doctor Nina back I look, I meet, I refer to in a luxury house in the Pangkalpinang Flower Park area.
"Go back, and live with Aunt Sofie.., she needs you, needs a place to share affection and love, let's start the sweetness of the future by forgetting whatever the past is." I breathlessly breathed with a big belly coaxing him, time and time again, over and over again until at the fourth meeting he cried without a sound also hugged me. Sedu sedan she unraveled tears with shaky shoulders. I hugged the lonely woman again. Who says a beautiful woman and looks very energetic and independent is not lonely, only at times like that she diverted with a pretense. Three days later, he visited Aunt Sofie's house in a freight car. A moving meeting. The two hugged, releasing tears and all the tension. Then then the atmosphere began to look normal, slowly they began to accept each other's existence of soulmates who had ignored each other. Doctor Nina and Aunt Sofie start to get along.

I've been on leave, but I still go to Bang Zamy's practice. I faithfully wait inside the back house with Elza while watching television or reading books, Elza is a cousin of the mother of Bengkulu. He used to be with people in Bekasi, but the factory where he worked reduced employees due to covid-19. Finally, he asked for help from his mother to find any job in Bangka in order to support his widowed mother and work as a farm worker. He still has two younger brothers who need to be in school. She was not twenty yet, she was white and had a sweet face, gentle and very understanding. After arriving in Bangka she offered to become our babysitter. Me and Bang Zamy agreed. He lives in my house, in the villa alone.
"Sister, would you like a calf massage?" often he offers help when he sees me as exhausted. I'm glad he came and worked at home, at least someone became my friend when Bang Zamy went to his office. He is also a cook. The occasional menu he made with yuk Mairoh is very similar to mother's cuisine. He said he could cook rice and side dishes even in the second grade of Elementary School. I'm amazed.
It is fitting that he is so adept at processing various cooking spices....
*****
Mentari has been shining for a long time, yuk Mairoh and Elza I heard already boisterous just laughing jokingly in the kitchen. Elza is very funny, she secretly likes to interrupt and make us unable to hold back laughter. The aroma of cooking was also smelled from my room that was already open. Bang Zamy has from seven in the morning left for the office he said there would be a covid team meeting again because in Bangka Belitung as of September already recorded hundreds of people back positive covid-19. Bangka Belitung is not green anymore. Even this positive period many Elementary School children are exposed from friends whose fathers are positive covid after returning from out-of-town service.
"Darling Papi worked first yes." He kissed my forehead and stomach when he left this morning. I squirm spoiled afterwards.

I glanced at the clock on the wall of my room, almost ten, but my body was reluctant to get out of bed, let alone take a shower. Getting pregnant today, really makes me lazy. It is delicious and comfortable to lie on a soft mattress.
"The seat of the juice has long been put on the dining table, do you want to be stored in the refrigerator first?" Yuk Mairoh came back knocking on the door and reminded me.
"Don't yuk, it's been drunk." I slowly got up and headed for the bathroom, brushed my teeth and immediately to the kitchen. For a moment sitting I immediately sipped guava juice from the garden harvest behind the house. Yuk Mairoh prepares toast and milk, as well as fries, boiled eggs and sauces.
"Sir was when Elza threw the garbage out, Elza saw there were fathers pacing outside the fence. He's a little suspicious." The Bengkulu girl suddenly spoke to make me choke. Yuk Mairoh stared unhappily at Elza while immediately patting my shoulder.
"Elza, next time don't talk about such things while eating." Yuk Mairoh reminded.
"Yes sorry, sorry Doctor." felt guilty Elza again continued to wash vegetables to cook.
"No problem. Uh, by the way, you said suspicious, does Fredy know?" I became curious.
"Elza did not dare to tell Fredy bang, where he again chatted with Mr. Rohim Elza is not pleasant to disturb." He spoke again looking at me.
"Decorate it how's the deck?" I became a mind.
"He was dressed like a scavenger. Wearing a wide caping, he intermittently turned his head towards the house. I admonished him kindly, he looked at me deeply and asked. Is there Naura at home? I just nod. Once I had him gone, a few cars passed by, including a garbage truck." Elza's naive detailing the incident. I finished breakfast and went to see Fredy.
"Dy, did you see any suspicious gentlemen on the sidewalk in front of the house this morning?" So close to the security guard, I asked.
"fathers? So far there are no suspicious fathers in front of the house." Fredy explained.
"If scavengers?" I asked again.
"Roller? Oh yes if the scavenger has been there for a few days, take some plastic waste there." Fredy pointed to a location near the high wall of my house that led to a red light crossing DKT.
"Is he suspicious?" I'm still investigating.
"Suspicious? It seems ordinary like most scavengers." Fredy shook his head after a moment of frowning.
"Owh well. If he's around again, please call me yes." I ordered and passed away soon.
"Okay, Doctor." Fredy nodded kindly. Then I went back home and headed for the CCTV room. Sure enough, it looks faint because of the observation too far, even at night someone dressed as a scavenger can be seen pacing the sidewalk in front of my house. Indeed in his hand looks something like a sack, but not once did he put the garbage there. And its presence in the morning on average at the same hour, before or past eight o'clock in the morning. I had to be more vigilant, I went back to see Fredy and Mr. Rohim, reminding him to pay attention to the scavenger's movements if it comes again. Fredy and Mr. Rohim nodded.

At 15:17 minutes, Bang Zamy came home, I let him enjoy a warm milk coffee and fried his favorite banana and mother candle. Do not want to bother him even though my heart is eager to discuss immediately about the presence of the scavenger some days.
"What yes? Adek this morning even woke up at ten, dear." I smiled spoiledly answering.
"Huh? Is that true? Is it okay to sleep until that hour?" Bang Zamy who was used to bathing before dawn gaped at my explanation.
"Not sleeping anymore, but yes, the innate lazy really want to wake up, play hape, read the news." I'm explaining.
"What else is viral?" My husband cut in asking.
"Which one? There are many more viral." I smiled again and asked.
"Who asked for a donation to pay off the debt in the bank and ask for a car dowry equal money and gold according to his age, you know...." He explains.
"Idiiihhh, brother likes gossip too huh now..," I teased him. My right hand plays its thinly-jointed chin.
"Not gossip weee.., but the employees tuh at a scene, in any room busy talking it, sometimes they make fun of the bachelor in order to immediately propose, so they are immediately proposed to, I don't want to know that brother's information." Bang Zamy smiled and went back to sipping his milk coffee. He took a piece of fried wax banana, bit it once and fed me anyway. Don't forget a thin kiss on my cheek she put.
"Hehe yes read the news, see the comments column on funny although many are also blasphemous. O Allah, who is well not sure why he can be so."
"One alma mater is the same?" Bang Zamy asked.
"Hemzzz, not the wrong alma mater anyway. He's a little depressed like that."
"Yes, it seems to be a problem with the Director as well as him, smelling all financial problems."
"Hem you to be more careful, dear, the high position of temptation will certainly be higher anyway." I spoke while tightly hugging his sturdy arm.
"Always accompany your prayer, Bee." He kissed my cheek again until it got wet.
"God willing...."
"Hemzzz...., Papi would like to take a bath first yes deeekkk, would you like to come to the clinic again?" Bang Zamy invited the people in my womb to speak. Sure enough, as soon as there was a tingling feeling, he already knew the voice of the man who every night invited him to speak, my rather thick stomach seemed to move undulating because of it.
"Let's get out soon so I can meet Mami Papi, Nyai and Atok-atoknya...." Bang Zamy sat down as usual. He held both my thighs while playing with the creature of God in my womb. Kiss me and kiss my big belly. Maybe if anyone saw his behavior, they would feel strange. But we all the time when there is an opportunity, always invite him and talk. He responded, feeling a return of movement in his realm before descending into the world. The Greatest of Allah in all His creation.
*****
I pulled out Bang Zamy's hand which was neat and ready to go to the clinic. He thinks I'm getting into the CCTV room.
"We'll take a look at the CCTV for a minute, baby." I'm talkin.
"Why? Anything suspicious again?" He asked in surprise and followed my steps.
"Look at me." I began to point out things that I considered unnatural. Bang Zamy seriously stared at the screen, his hands occasionally moving the computer mouse, playing the video, replays the parts when the scavenger seemed to look towards the house. His left hand occasionally rubbed his chin. His forehead occasionally wrinkled with squinting eyes. He replays many times seen a scavenger get on a car and leave.
"God is okay, do not be afraid but always be vigilant. I'm going to talk about this with Fredy. Don't be afraid, baby."
"Did you suspect someone? Are we still hostile?" I asked my husband who then looked at me quietly.
"Maybe there are still grudges or heartaches to see our happiness, but rest assured this will not be long."
"Who?" I felt Bang Zamy suspecting someone.
"Let's see, hopefully it's just a regular scavenger who happens to get a lot of valuable junk near our house." He tried to distract me. I just keep quiet, if it's better I shut up. I am sure my husband can solve everything. If that is a problem.
"But his attitude is suspicious, you know, you also have to be more careful" I added.
"Emmmmm...." He just nodded. Then kiss my forehead again and tell me to always be careful.
"Not going to the clinic?" He switched topics.
"Bored waiting there, better at home." I answered.
"Okay, don't be afraid, baby. Hopefully the patient is not too much, brother can go home sooner." He heads to the garage, starts the engine, heats the engine and stops for a long time near Fredy and goes to a practice clinic in Honey Bee. I accompanied him with a prayer.
