He'S JUST My Son
Five_ Starting Point
Ms. Nilam who had just regained her senses from her stupor, looked at the princess with a sad look. I do not know what was thought by his mother Melati, who is currently grasping the hand of the princess so tightly.
The two mothers and the child just looked at each other, no one started to talk. Until a while, only silence was created in the all-white room.
"It doesn't matter if we have to get out of this town, son. We'll go, go far away and you don't have to worry about your situation, nor the baby in your womb. Whatever happens, we'll always be together, Mel" said Nilam, who broke the silence, staring at the princess,
Melati shook her head, "Mom, why did you hide all this from Mela? Why don't you tell Mela the same story, if you're sick?" Melati not responding to the words of the mother, but the girl actually protested to her mother why hide a serious problem like this.
"Mom's okay, Mel. You don't have to worry," comfort Nilam.
"Mom is sick, Mom? Why did Mom say it was okay? Mother's disease relapses, it's because of jasmine, Mom?" Melati was again stunned, the girl hid her face in the arms of the mother.
Ms. Nilam stroked the top of her daughter's head lovingly, "not because of you, Mel. I was just shocked, just now." said Nilam mom trying to comfort the princess.
Jasmine looked up, looking at the mother with tears still streaming. "Mom, Mela doesn't want to make Mom sad anymore. Mela does not want to make Mom insulted by people, because Mother has a child who is pregnant out of wedlock. Mela wants to abort this content, Mom," said Melati, who made Nilam's mother widen her eyes.
"No, Son. That's not true! I don't agree, Mel!" exclaims Miss Nilam, "what are you thinking, until you intend to drop the content, Mel?" ask Nilam who does not understand the way the princess thought.
"What you have done with Arjuna is a great mistake and sin, Mel! Do not increase your sins, by aborting that innocent baby!" Ms. Nilam looked at her daughter with concern.
"Whatever it takes to come to this world, this baby is still a gift to be grateful for." mom Nilam rubbed gently on the princess's flat stomach, "we'll take care of her equally, son. I promise to take care of my health so that I can continue to accompany you both." said Ms. Nilam.
Melati nodded and immediately hugged her mother back, "thank you, ma'am. Thank you for forgiving Mela" he said.

The next day, Ms. Nilam, who felt that her condition had improved, insisted that she leave the clinic that morning.
Melati also finally obeyed the wishes of the mother, after the doctor said that the condition of Nilam was good enough even though he still had to rest a lot.
Once out of the clinic, Melati and her mother decided to take an angkot to the inter-provincial bus terminal. Along the way to the terminal, the mother and child did not speak to each other but their hands continued to hold each other.
Each was busy with his own thoughts, Nilam's mother who thought about where they would go next after arriving at the terminal? While Melati thought, which city should they go to with her condition that is pregnant out of wedlock?
After nearly thirty minutes, the angkot they were riding in arrived at the master terminal. After paying the freight, Melati rushed to lead the mother to find the bus majoring the city they were going to.
"Where are we going, son? Do you have an image?" ask Nilam, when Melati leads him with a definite step.
Melati smiled and nodded, "we are going to Bali yes, Mom. We find a place in a crowded tourist area, we can open a business there," said Melati optimistically.
Ms. Nilam scrunched her forehead, "there right, anything expensive, Mel? Is our money enough to rent a house and venture capital, son?" ask Nilam.
"God is enough, Mom. Last night, the man who was his mother Mas Arjun gave an additional amount of money and put it in this bag." Melati replied without explaining, why Ricko gave extra money.
Ms. Nilam nodded and did not ask further.
Melati step and Nilam bu stop right in front of the counter, Melati then booked two tickets to go to the city of Denpasar. After paying for the ticket, Melati invited her mother to wait in a bus that looked comfortable.
While choosing an executive class bus because the journey they will pass is very long, it takes about thirty hours to get to the city of Denpasar.
Melati and her mother sit comfortably while leaning their tired bodies on the reclining back of a chair, soon the two women of different generations fell asleep as the bus began to ride down the highway.
Throughout the trip, Melati was more silent, while the mother often comforted Melati.
After a long and tiring journey, finally Melati and the mother arrived in the city of Denpasar.
It was late in the afternoon, when Melati and Nilam set foot in the provincial capital of the island. Melati and her mother rushed to the tourist attractions, which became their destination to settle.
Sanur Beach, which is in the rural area located in Kec. South Denpasar, Melati choice to bring the mother settled there.
Upon arrival in Sanur, they both look for lodging first and tomorrow morning will just start to find a place to stay.
The accommodation is simple with the cheap price they choose, because they have to save before getting a place to live and also start a business to earn money.

Early in the morning, Melati and her mother walked along the tourist attractions while occasionally asking the locals, whether there is a small house or stall to be sold.
After walking far enough and asking some people, Melati and her mother got information that there was a fairly wide kiosk to be sold by the owner.
The kiosk is also occupied by the owner, as a residence. Hearing this, of course, made the mother and child very happy and went straight to the stall that was informed to them just now.
Melati and her mother walked quickly to the stall, and both were welcomed by the owner who was selling the stall.
"How, Ma. Do you agree with the price I offer?" ask the owner of the kiosk.
Melati and the mother looked at each other and both nodded at the same time.
"Yes, Sir. We take this stall," replied Nilam's mother with certainty.
The transaction went smoothly and starting tomorrow, Melati and her mother were able to occupy the kiosk.
There is no stopping the mother and child giving thanks, because it is facilitated in finding a new place to live. The residence that will be the starting point of both of their lives, as well as the baby who is currently still hiding in the womb of Melati.
"Thank You Allah .. I am sure that in every test You give, there must be a beautiful wisdom for Your patient servant" Nilam wrote with gratitude.
