Husband Shovels Tops
139. Who's Sandy?
"Mom, come in! My employer wanted to see my mother" said the security then opened the door not too wide beside the guard post.
"Thank you, sir," Sandy's mother said with a relieved face and was afraid, anxious and worried about what would happen after she confessed her mistakes. The woman then walked towards the main door of the house with a pounding heart.
"Let's go, come with me. Mr. Darmawan is waiting for you in the living room" said an Art who was waiting for the woman at the door.
"Thank you," Sandy's mother said, then followed the Art.
Darmawan looked at the woman who entered the guest room. Tried to recognize and remember the woman but Darmawan felt completely unfamiliar with the woman.
"Please sit!"darmawan said to the woman.
"Thank you, sir," said the woman then sitting with a racing heart. The fingers are interlocked, appear tremor and cold sweat.
"I'm sorry, but have we met before?"ask Darmawan politely.
"No Sir. We have never met before. But are you really Mr Darmawan owner of HD Group?" sandy's mother replied at once asking.
"Yes, right. He said there was something my mother wanted to tell me about my sister, is that true?"ask Sandy.
"Yes, sir, forgive me! I've been keeping this a secret for years. I'm guilty, I'm selfish, I'm sorry Sir!"said Sandy's mother who suddenly knelt in front of Darmawan.
"Eh..why is mom kneeling like this? Awake, Mother! And please tell me, what exactly did you want to tell me about my late sister!"pinta Darmawan then helped the old woman to sit down.
"Your sister is dead?"ask Sandy's mom, looking surprised.
"Yes. My sister and sister-in-law died in an accident 25 years ago, "sahut Darmawan let out a long sigh,"So what does my mother want to say about my late sister?"connect Darmawan.
"This incident happened 30 years ago" Sandy's mother said.
30 Years ago.
Sandy's mother who was pregnant went to the hospital with a condition that was already willing to give birth. The doctor immediately handled Sandy's mother and a few hours later Sandy's mother was already in the ward.
"Doctor, where's my son, doc?"ask Sandy's mom when she just regained consciousness from the dope.
"Sorry, the mother's son cannot be saved," said the doctor, apparently unable to bear the circumstances of Sandy's mother.Sandy's mother cried without a sound, her tears flowing so fast.
"Dok, my uterus has been removed due to a tumor, I can no longer conceive and now my son is dead. I don't have anything left, my life is ruined, doc!"said Sandy's mom crying.
"Patience to you, Mom!"said the doctor.
"Everything else I can do besides accept this harsh reality, doc?"said Sandy's mom as she pleased.
"Mom's husband doesn't know about mom's condition?" ask the doctor.
Sandy's mother shook her head, "My husband works out of town as a building foreman. Maybe in a week my husband just got home, "that's Sandy's mom.
"Yes already, I stayed first, huh? I have to check on the other patients" the doctor said in a soft voice and Sandy's mother responded by nodding her head.
"You wait here, I'll take our baby so we can exchange it for this baby Darmawan,"that sentence is what a man said to a woman who was holding a baby makes Sandy's mother immediately hide. A few minutes later the man returned with a baby in his cradle.
"Quickly you exchange your sister's baby for our baby" the man said to the woman.
The woman put the baby she was carrying to the floor and then received the baby proffered by the man in front of her.
Sandy's mother peeked inadvertently at the butterfly tattoo on the woman's left arm, as the woman reached out her hand accepting the baby.
"Quick put our son in your sister's baby box! I'm going to throw this baby Darmawan away so that our son will be the heir to the HD Group,"said the man grinned and was carried by a butterfly-tattooed woman and the two men separated from the man holding the baby who had been placed on the floor.
Don't know why Sandy's mother followed the man she said was about to throw the baby away. The man took the baby to the back of the hospital area which was very quiet because it was already night and dug the ground and buried the baby making Sandy's mother very surprised.
After the man left and was not seen again, Sandy's mother rushed out of hiding, approached the place where the man had buried the poor baby and like a possessed man Sandy's mother dug the ground with both hands.
"Wake, boy! Wake up!"sandy's mother said after removing the baby from the ground, fearing the baby would die. Sandy's mother cleaned the baby in her cradle from the ground and then shook the baby to wake up and even gave artificial breath to the baby with a vibrating body.
"OK.oke.oek.." The baby suddenly cried.
"You're safe, son! You survived!" said Sandy's mother with happy tears.
From then on Sandy's mother took care of Sandy lovingly like her own child and gave it to Sandy. Even until her husband died, Sandy's mother did not tell her husband that Sandy was not their biological child.

"That's the story, sir. Sorry for my selfishness. I didn't tell you about what I know. I don't know if Sandy's your son or not. But if Sandy is your biological son, I'll give it back to you" Sandy's mother said.
Darmawan looked stunned, unable to say anything because of the shock of hearing Sandy's mother's story. Darmawan did not expect that there was such an incident, which meant that Hery was not his son, but his nephew.
"My life is not long, I do not want to carry this secret to death.For this long my husband and I are very happy to have a son like Sandy. If he's really your son, I beg you to forgive me" Sandy's mother continued in tears.
"Why should you apologize to me? She saved a baby who almost died. If it is true that the child that the mother has cared for so far is my son, I am very grateful to the mother," said Darmawan.
"Be..do you really not hate me for hiding this for 30 years?"asked Sandy's mother to dare to look at Darmawan while wiping away her tears.
"Yes, if there was no mother the baby would have died. Can I meet the child you've been caring for all this time?" ask Darmawan.
"Stypically Sandy came home at five in the afternoon, Sir," Sandy's mother said as she glanced at the clock attached to the wall of Darmawan's living room showing at four in the afternoon.
"Well, I'll take mom home so I can meet the kid" Darmawan said.
