177. Baby Lupita

With trembling hands Hilya patted the back of the baby in her carrier. He was concerned about the fate of the baby who lost his source of life. The baby Lupita was born just a moment ago was crying loudly as if understanding what Ersa said earlier.

"Inna Lillahi wainna ilaihi rojiuun .., what a shame your fate is Nak ..," murmured Hilya with teary eyes.

"We can't possibly hold this baby here, right, Bu Hilya ?" ask Ersa suddenly.

"Let this baby rest here tonight. Kasian. New to see the world but abandoned by the man who brought it into the world. You selfish woman," said Hilya annoyed while shaking her head.

I don't know why he doesn't have any sympathy for Lupita. He is upset by the way Lupita solves the problem.

Soon Nathan, Fikri and Ayu come to the clinic. They just heard about the accident in front of the clinic.

The three were shocked when Ersa told of the suicide was the woman who had just given birth to her child at Hilya Maternity Clinic.

"Subhanallah. Does he not have the same affection for the baby he contains ?. He carried it everywhere for nine months, there was not the slightest inner bond" Fikri said.

"I also think so Bang" said Hilya.

"Where's the baby now ?" ask Ayu.

"There's in the baby box. Just slept because full of milk," said Hilya.

Ayu also went into the baby's room to see the condition of the baby that was born Lupita. Ayu looked at the baby. After making sure the baby sleeps well, Ayu rejoins the others in Hilya's room.

"So how's the next business ?. The police must have come here to ask questions, right ?" ask Ersa worriedly.

"Mrsa has nothing to worry about. Just tell me what really happened.Detail all the evidence he lives in including the baby and the big envelope," Nathan said.

"That's all, sir ?. So we're not gonna be suspects, are we ?" ask Ersa.

"Kan Bu Ersa and My Wife only helped the victim give birth instead of telling him to kill himself. There are CCTV cameras here that will prove the woman came here willingly and left secretly. No compulsion at all. But Miss Ersa is calm. If you can't answer it is better to be quiet, because the wrong answer also makes the business longer. Because usually the police are suspicious when dealing with people who are nervous," Nathan said.

Ersa seemed to nod her head while rem*as the tip of the blouse she was wearing.

"Kalo Bu Ersa is not comfortable, Miss Ersa can go home now. Let Me and My Husband take care of everything later" Hilya said later.

Ersa nodded quickly. He wanted to go home because he couldn't face the police.

After packing, Ersa said goodbye. Hilya could only let out a long sigh seeing her co-worker leave due to fear of being interrogated by the police.

"It's possible you should rethink extending his employment contract, dear" Nathan said.

"Betul Nath's. I also feel Ersa is not a good friend for leaving Hilya alone at a time like this. Good thing we're here, if we're not Hilya's kasian," said Fikri.

Hilya seemed to think for a moment then nodded. He was indeed disappointed to see the reaction of Ersa who did not want to accompany him to face the police. Especially before Hilya was also dissatisfied with Ersa's performance.

"Yes. Now I have a good reason to decide on cooperation," said Hilya steadily.

Nathan, Fikri, and Ayu let out a sigh of relief at Hilya's decision.

As expected, the police went to Hilya Maternity Clinic. They wanted to extract information from Hilya about Lupita.

"Rubber. She just gave birth to her baby half an hour ago. We were also surprised to find out she left without saying goodbye and just left the baby here. Especially when We heard that he also died in front of there because of an attempted suicide" said Hilya calmly.

Then Hilya showed the baby Lupita the following envelope that Lupita left under the pillow.

The two policemen opened the envelope and found some money, a cell phone and a letter there. The police handed the money over to Hilya but Hilya refused.

"We intend to leave this baby here for a while. We will be troubled if we have to take care of the baby while taking care of his mother's body. Moreover, this newborn baby, must be very risky if we have to bring it here and there. We mean, this money is to finance the needs of her baby Lupita. Doesn't she also need new clothes, milk and diapers ?" ask the police.

Hilya was stunned for a moment and nodded when she saw Nathan giving a code to agree to the police request.

"Thank you for the help, Ms. Hilya. If so, excuse me first. This phone and this letter We brought to learn the contents," the police officer said, shaking Hilya and Nathan's hands in turn.

"Good Sir. I'm waiting for news as soon as possible sir" said Hilya.

"Ready Ma'am. Good night ...," said the two policemen simultaneously.

"Night ...," said Hilya with a smile.

Shortly after the departure of the two policemen, Lupita's baby cried. Hilya was a little overwhelmed to calm the baby down as she was also very tired that night. Ayu also came to help replace Hilya carrying the baby. Miraculously, when the baby was carried by Ayu, the baby girl stopped crying.

"Wish he found his most comfortable place after his mother's departure" Nathan said with a smile.

"Rubber. I became jealous of Ayu. Though I helped her birth earlier, but this baby is even more happy to be carried by Mbak Ayu than I," said Hilya while sneering.

"Baby is still plain Hil. He just obeyed his instincts. Not that you are not good, maybe he found something that makes him comfortable in me that looks the same as he met in the figure of his mother. That's why he was immediately diem when I was fat," said Ayu low.

"It could be that he also considers Ms Ayu Ayu his mother" said Hilya.

"Considerate. Something that Mbak Ayu said earlier was enough to signal that this baby wants to be treated the same Ma'am Ayu and not You Dear," Nathan said while clutching Hilya's shoulder.

Hilya nodded while Ayu looked smiling. On the other hand Fikri seemed wrong to hear Nathan's statement earlier. Honestly, Fikri did not mind if the baby was cheeked for a while. But Fikri did not want Ayu hurt when the baby was taken by the authorities later.

"Where is Bi ?. May I take this baby to our house. I just want to help Hilya take care of this baby until the police finish investigating the case of his mother's death," Pinta Ayu while looking at the husband.

"Mmm ..., how about Mi. I'm so confused," said Fikri while scratching his head that does not itch.

"It's only a minute, Bi, not forever. Did you not watch him. He was a child but lost his parents. Here the baby can get everything he needs, but it will not be intense because Hilya also has to serve other patients. How, can you please Bi ...?" pinta Ayu was hopeful.

"But would you be surprised if this baby was taken by the police to be handed over to the party entitled to care for it later ?" ask Fikri.

"Gapapa Bi" said Ayu.

"The promise will not be sad and cry for days yes ..," said Fikri to reassure.

"Iya Bi," said Ayu quickly to make Fikri smile.

"Ok, if that's what we're taking this baby home with," said Fikri to make everyone in the room sigh in relief.
