129. Mysterious Death

Bayan grabbed Arafah into his carriage. His affection for the beautiful toddler was unstoppable since he knew Fikri was his nephew.

Bayan turned his head to remind Mak Ejah once again. But he had to swallow disappointed because he did not see Mak Ejah again there.

Seeing the father let out a long sigh made Nathan frown.

"Why Well, how come you're so disappointed ?" ask Nathan.

"The father was writhing his mother Fikri," Bayan said reluctantly.

"Do you mean Mak Ejah's father ?" nathan asked half a whisper.

"Yes," said Bayan quickly.

"But I don't see Mak Ejah around here Well" Nathan said as he spread his gaze around.

"Surely he's gone Nath. Ignore aja. Father had persuaded him to meet his son but he refused," Bayan said a little annoyed.

"Maybe Mak Ejah still need some time Well. Seeing his son has grown up, with his big figure and now married, must make Mak Ejah guts. Maybe he felt inferior to come and then confessed to Bang Fikri's birth mother," Nathan said.

Nathan's words made Bayan smile. But in his heart Bayan knew if the main reason Mak Ejah was reluctant to meet Fikri because he had hurt Fikri's wife and child.

Bayan and Nathan turn their heads as Anna and Ayu step out of the boutique. Then the four of them walked together laughing happily. Bayan holding Arafah walked side by side with Anna, while Nathan and Ayu trailed behind. Nathan tried to help bring Ayu's groceries that looked troubled. Nathan's attitude makes Ayu, Bayan and Anna smile but makes a girl sneer in annoyance. The girl is Hilya, the beautiful midwife who several times rejected Nathan.

"Basic guys. I've got a Wife Child still looking for another girl. Fortunately I was not fooled. Kasian kanya Wife if you know her husband spread charm out there," grumbled Hilya while speeding up her steps.

That night the atmosphere of the Hospital where Hilya served felt different. The atmosphere was silent and few people passed by. Though usually the Hospital is always crowded even at night.

"Hoaaamm. What time is it Hil ?" ask a fellow Hilya midwife who was also on duty that night.

"It's only half-twelfth, '" Hilya said as she wrote something in the book.

"Oh Allah, the daritadi sat down and everything turned out not to be midnight anyway. Feelings are long over here. It's slow-moving time or dead hours Hil ?" ask Hilya's colleague named Ranti.

"What the hell Lo, it's not clear. Surely the clock is not dead and we're sitting here only half an hour. This is because Lo's mind continues to lie on the mattress so it all feels strange and should not make Lo," said Hilya ketus.

Ranti laughed while scratching her non-itchy head. Then he stepped away from the table towards the pantry to brew coffee so as to reduce his drowsiness. Ranti also volunteered to make Hilya a cup of coffee. Hilya nodded as she continued to write something in the book.

Shortly afterwards Hilya raised her head when she saw Ranti passing towards the baby room.

"Basic Midwife labile. He said he wanted to brew coffee, eh even go to the nursery," Hilya grumbled as she shook her head.

Hilya is back in focus with her work. But a second later the sound of screams was heard from the nursery. Hilya was shocked and rushed to the nursery. He stared for a moment as he saw the nurse standing guard in front of the nursery sitting on the floor with a pale face as her hands pointed to the ceiling.

"What's Sister ?!" hilya asked while patting the nurse on the cheek.

"The ghosts in ... above" said the nurse.

Hilya looked up but found nothing there. A moment later he turned his head as another nurse came to see what was happening. Ranti who was also among them asked what happened.

"What the fuck is Sus, why screams. It was a shock" said Ranti.

"Kok Lo even nanya Ran. Kan Lo was here too earlier," said Hilya puzzled.

"Ngaco Lo Hil's. I'm in the pantry to brew coffee for us !" sahut Ranti while glaring.

"Don't fuck around. How are the babies doing ?" ask Ranti.

Hilya rushed to open the door of the nursery and was surprised to see that part of the wall of the nursery was filled with red stains. Hilya was sure if it was a bloodstain.

With a pounding heart Hilya checked one by one the babies were placed in the baby box that lined up lengthwise. Hilya slightly frowned as she felt something strange in the nursery. All the babies were in a deep sleep, none of them woke up even though the nurses' voices sounded noisy and mutual. They usually cry when they hear a little loud.

Hilya's face stiffened when she arrived at the end of the baby box. There he found the baby lifeless with a gaping wound to the head.

"Astaghfirullah aladziim ...!" hilya screamed with a stifled voice.

"Why Bu Midwife ?!" ask the nurses from the doorway of the nursery.

"This ... This baby died !. There was a wound on his head rich abis gnawed at the rat !" sahut Hilya while shuddering in horror.

Hilya's words shocked everyone. They also panic. Ranti rushes to call security and asks them to secure the nursery.

That night the Hospital was kept busy with the discovery of a baby who died from a strange wound on his head. Police were brought in to help investigate the mysterious incident.

All the nurses and midwives on duty that night were interrogated by the police including Hilya and Ranti. And to save time the police interrogate them in pairs. Hilya and Ranti are interrogated at the same time.

Ranti was visibly upset when Hilya called her into the nursery just before the screams were heard. Of course Ranti denied Hilya's testimony. Even Ranti felt Hilya was cornering her by saying things that were beyond reality.

"Don't be Hil. You know very well if I brew coffee in the pantry again. Kan I nawarin Lo also earlier," repeated Ranti did not like.

"But I'm not squirming Lo Ran," said Hilya sure.

"Wrigging how do you mean Lo ?!" asked Ranti in a high voice.

"In the meantime, why are you guys making a fuss ?. I'm just wondering what you did before that scream sounded !" the police said as they looked at Hilya and Ranti alternately.

"I don't like being accused of killing that baby, Mr. Police !" sahut Ranti is upset.

"Who's accusing Lo of killing the baby Ran !. I'm just saying that I'm glad you went into the nursery. What Lo did there I also do not know because after that Sister Ida screamed. That's all," Hilya said she didn't want to lose.

"Gue can't believe that Lo loves this same as I'm Hil. How to defame I. Do you feel like I'm such a big rival that Lo intends to get rid of I in a dirty way ?!" ask Ranti loudly.

Hilya was surprised to hear Ranti's words. He opened his mouth and prepared to answer Ranti's accusation but it was void because the police who interrogated them stood up while pounding the table.

"Enough !. Your job is to answer my questions and not anything else. If you're still accusing each other like this, I suspect you're involved with the baby's death !" said the police.

Hilya and Ranti were silent while staring at each other for a moment. Obviously they refused to be made suspects in the case of the baby's death. And the next second the two were both annoyed.

Seeing the two midwives in front of him again calm the Police was relieved. He asked Hilya and Ranti again.

"So Midwife Hilya, did you see Midwife Ranti among those who came earlier ?" ask police.

Hilya was shocked. He remembered that Ranti was in the crowd who had just come to the nursery.

"Yes sir" said Hilya later.

If Ranti was with the people who came later, then who was the woman who sneaked into the nursery. Why did Hilya feel that the female figure was similar to Ranti ?.
