I'm Not a Little Girl, Om!
00. Prologues
Stanley and Camelia gasp when they see Meylani, the princess, who has been found overdosed in her bedroom after taking too much sleeping pills. While in the cot, one-year-old Jeniffer was crying hysterically.
Camelia who was aware of the cry of the granddaughter immediately held the baby girl to give peace. Stanley immediately called an ambulance to go to the house of Verry Sukmajaya who in fact was the husband of Meylani.
Stanley was restless because the princess could not be contacted since yesterday afternoon and it was already 3pm which means almost 24 hours, the princess gave no news and it made her uneasy.
Therefore, the 52-year-old man invited his wife, but instead of being greeted by Meylani's smile or Jeniffer's cry, the two even got a soul-shaking surprise.
"Actually what happened ma, so Meu swallowed a bottle of sleeping pills" said Stanley while squeezing his hair, he was really confused what happened with the princess.
Camelia who was holding Jeniffer who began to fall asleep sharpened her vision of a sky blue object, the favorite color of Meylani. Soon the 48-year-old woman told her husband while waiting for an ambulance to come to this house.
"Pa, look at that there's a sky-blue object, Mey's favorite color. Barked in the dresser's inserts. Try papa take what it is." the direct command executed by Stanley.
It turned out that it was a diary, Stanley immediately put the diary into a bag of Camelia lying on Meylani's bed. It seemed like he would find out the reason why the princess acted recklessly like this.
The sound of siren ambulance was heard shortly afterwards, after which several medics entered the room. Stanley looked at the princess who seemed to have no hope of life, seeing from the many sleeping pills that were swallowed.
"Let's follow our daughter Mey, ma." take Stanley to Camelia who was immediately rejected by the wife.
"Whatever follows up, Mama wants to take Jeniffer home. Poor grandchildren we must have cape and need rest."
Stanley gasped when he heard Jeniffer's name called, sure enough the grandson must be tired from crying too much. While in this house there is no one but Meylani and Jeniffer. Where exactly did Verry disappear.
Even the man did not pick up his phone. Making bad guesses about the ghost gets bigger. Stanley rubbed his face rough and breathed a heavy breath.
"Bring all Jeniffer's clothes and belongings. Papa will ask Mr. Kardi to come here and take Mama and Jeniffer home. Don't forget to tell Jorgie about her brother's condition." Camelia slowly put the sleeping Jeniffer away, the couple packed all the belongings and clothes of the first grandchild.
Yes, the first grandchild because Meylani is their eldest child and Jorgie who is the youngest child is still 19 years old, the age at which someone else is busy spending time for college.
An hour later, Mr. Kardi who is the driver of Stanley's office has arrived and helped bring the goods are not small amount. After saying goodbye to her husband, Camelia went straight to her house.
In the middle of the journey the woman remembered that Jeniffer had not been bought formula milk because from birth until now the baby received ASI from Mey. Camelia thought quickly, what kind of milk should be given to babies this year.
"Sir Kardi, can I please choose formula milk for Jeniffer. I'm confused, because I never used Mey and Jorgie's formula time."
"Come, let's go to the Amethyis milk shop. All buy baby snacks, let Jeniffer not starve." pak Kardi immediately directed the car to the milk shop in question.
***
While in the hospital, Stanley waited for the princess with mixed taste. Now he regrets why he ignored Meylani's whining and said that the princess had to be patient because in the household there must be problems.
If only, the two words continue to resonate in Stanley's brain to cause deep regret to him.
He should have listened to Meylani and not ignored the complaints his daughter had made. She should always be there for the princess until Meylani does not feel lonely and depressed which makes her act recklessly. Delivering life to the angel of the lifethrower.
Test test test
A thread of tears flowed down from the dark black netra that night. The daughter he raised and cared for with all her body suffered like that since marriage. Stanley regretted giving his blessing after hearing the lopsided news of the Sukmajaya family still holding customs and traditions that say that the firstborn should be a man, in order to be the beginning of male pride in the Sukmajaya family.
But as the saying goes, rice has become porridge. Everything has happened and it is impossible for us to repeat the time that continues to move forward. Stanley's feelings are increasingly restless when the number of medical personnel who enter the ICU room. All looks panicked and tense, Stanley who initially still thinks optimistically will not want to be pessimistic.
The passage of time also seemed slow and torturing his soul, it felt like Stanley wanted to be in the room to replace the princess. Maybe so tired, he fell asleep while sitting in a typical hospital chair in front of the ICU room until he woke up when his shoulders were shaken violently.
It turned out that Jorgie the son who was following him, a look of worry was clearly visible in the young man's body.
"What about Mey's sister, pa?" ask Jorgie in an anxious tone.
"As you can see, the doctor went into the ICU room to handle Mr. Mey. But the faces of the doctors papa can collect that the condition of your brother is very critical" said Stanley Lirih.
Soon the father and son had a serious conversation until the doctor's call distracted them.
"The Meylani Atmadja family?"
"I'm the papa" said Stanley quickly.
"I'm sorry we've been trying to save Mrs Meylani's life, but God wills another. Father's daughter has died due to an overdose of sleeping pills."
Stanley's world felt shattered instantly and he cried gaped on Jorgie's shoulders who just fell silent, in his heart Jorgie also wanted to cry but if he joined in crying then the father would be more fragile and he did not want to see that happen.
