Edible Oil
Chapter 11 The Arrival of Andra
It has been two hours Andra pacing indeterminate direction in front of his boarding house, his eyes continue to look towards the upstream district looking for a travel car that will pass and take him downstream to the district that is Kutai Kartanegara.
Usually, a travel car always passes by and never stops passing the cost, but somehow today from ten to twelve o'clock no one has seen the end of the car.
"Aduh .. kasian prospective father has not been eager to meet the baby grandpa." Tempta Bu Yanti, one of the mothers who was relaxing on the terrace kosan.
"Don't do it, Miss Yanti. Kasian Mas Andra is not nervous because of that." Bu Ani teases Andra.
"Where is Ndra, Regina is she born yet?" Continue Bu Ani again.
"Not to know, Ms. Ani. My phone was not picked up from earlier." Andra said.
"Patience, yes Ndra. Hopefully everything is smooth." said Bu Ani who was amened, right by Bu Yanti and Bu Sinta.
"Thank you mothers" Andra said.
An hour later, andra rushes to pull her backpack and gets into a travel car that will take her to meet Regina and her baby-to-be.
The exhausting six-hour journey finally paid off so perfectly that Andra stared at the tiny baby in her lap right now.
She looked at the little baby's face with a happy smile, how many times she kissed him on the cheek.
Andra put the tiny newborn baby back next to Regina, then stood up and disappeared into the kitchen. Katarina appears and sits next to Regina playing with her sixth grandchild.
"Where is the Hydra, ma'am?" ask Regina after an hour or so andra disappears.
His mother smiled cutely, "There's a back."
"Well?" Regina looked in wonder at her mother.
"You're lucky, Re. Got a husband like Andra." said Katarina smiling happily.
"What's the matter, Mom. Then what is Andra doing behind why did not appear for so long?" ask Regina who is still astonished.
"Andra again in the back cleans the dirt after giving birth to you and ari-ari the grandpa. Last time mom cleaned your shit in the back suddenly Andra appeared, Mom had doubted him but when I noticed it turned out she was very smart to clean your dirt and arian-ari. Like someone who already has children only him." said Katarina amazed.
"He's used to it, Mom. Help her mother take care of her four younger siblings." replied Regina.
"O, yeah. You're lucky Re. Although I'm actually sorry to see it, just getting out of the car has been cleaning up your shit." I admire his mother again.
Shortly thereafter Andra appears and is joined by Regina and her mother. Tell each other about the tension and cuteness of Regina's birth and the obstacles experienced by Andra.
"It's night, you better take a break, Ndra. Especially since you came earlier you have no rest" said Katarina while moving away from her son's room.
Andra responded to Katarina by nodding her head. Tiredness began to seep into the bodies of Andra and Regina, they closed their eyes and hoped that beautiful dreams were present to complement their happiness. But unfortunately, that night they had to pass by staying up late because of various dramas performed by Alganio Vixie.
In the morning Andra sat on the porch of the house while holding back sleepiness, holding the little one to sunbathe.
"Ndra ..." call Katarina who was said yes by Andra.
"Who are you burying or Mama?" Katarina.
"Let Andra go, Mom." Andra said.
After giving his little hero to Regina, Andra returned to the terrace and prepared to bury the ari-ari in the front yard of the house. Catherine stood watching Andra. Andra stopped digging after the hole she dug in the taste was enough to bury the ari-ari . Andra paused for a moment, turned to Katarina and looked down again.
"Yes, I see." said Katarina briefly.
"Soften this is in one with the ariannya or in separate itself." Point Andra at the other package.
"Hem." said Katarina.
"Keep, what is this? How come there's this? This was included too?" andra asked non-stop.
"quickly enter all that is there, and do not be noisy. Continue smpai finish." Katarina.
"Ndra, if again burying ari-ari can not be noisy many questions. Ntar your son followed noisily if it was big." Katarina explained after Andra finished her work.
"Oh, yeah. Sorry you don't know, Mom." said Andra.
"No papa is late, so I don't want to talk much from earlier" replied Katarina.
Andra looked sadly at his wife and little hero who stood at the door to let go. Three days had passed, Andra was only given three days off to meet his wife and little hero.
"Sabar Ndra, wait for Algi a year or six months you just take them there. While here first up to Algi gede, pity if brought there far from health facilities" said Katarina saw the sadness Andra.
"Yes, Mom. Ntar if Algi six months is Andra pick them up." replied Andra.
"Be careful, Ndra. I told you that it was nyampe." said Regina.
"Da .. da .. hotshot Dad, don't be naughty with mom." Andra's kiss on her little whiz.
"I'm leaving first yeah, Re." Andra said to Regina.
Andra approached Katarina and kissed the back of her hand. "Mom, Andra's leaving, yeah."
"Be careful on the road, Ndra" said Katarina.
Andra enters the car that will take her back to where she works, Regina's hand wave and her sorrowful gaze, making Andra feel something tight in her chest.
But only two months and a half of the farewell. Andra came back and brought his son and wife to West Kutai where he worked.
Like their sorrow while in West Kutai, in addition to the limitations of water electricity is also an obstacle when bringing the baby there. Especially when the drought arrives it is very difficult to get clean water.
Rainwater, well water, river water, even bottled water were once used as water for bathing the little Algi. One day when Algi was 5 months old.
"Hello, Yang. How has Algi changed?" Restless Andra on the other end of the phone.
"Yet, Yang. From then on the cry continued to not stop." replied Regina with a huff.
"OKAY. Wait, I'll let you go home first. Ntar we take Algi to the company clinic" Andra said.
"The heat is too high, the body is also weak too much lack of fluid. Should be taken immediately to the hospital, which hospital will be headed so I immediately make a referral letter?" said the doctor at the company clinic.
"To A.M Pariksit alone, Doc." replied Andra.
The doctor thought for a moment before speaking to Andra. "It is better to HIS only, because it is too far to Tenggarong. His body is too weak, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive" said the doctor.
"Okay, Doc." answered Andra.
