Mahligai Infidelity

- Raya and Baby

In a house on the outskirts of the forest, a very remote place and far from the traffic of vehicles. In a house of a Raya farmer and his parents are hiding. A baby who is only one month old must live as is in a small hut that has been abandoned by its owner. With a potluck they survive from the pursuit of Brian's men.

“Raya, papa told you to forget about that guy. See now. You dare to challenge him, what he did to you. Even papa and mama must come to hide in a place like this,” said the papa.

“Raya just wants justice pa, Raya just wants Brian to take Carisa and acknowledge her as his son, nothing more. After all, Carisa was her child, her flesh and blood. Raya thought, her heart would break after seeing the face of her son,” said Raya.

“You still expect a confession from his father? Already live quietly you should have been grateful,” added papa Raya.

“Have pa, it's happened like this. Don't blame Raya, her body just hasn't recovered from childbirth. Do not increase the burden of his mind. See there is a baby in his milk, papa do not continue to scold him,” defend the mother.

“Maafin Kingdom pa, ma. Kingdom wrong, too expect more,” said Raya full of regrets.

He now stared at the face of the little baby in his arms who was breastfeeding. He must be strong for his son.

“What's your plan now?” ask papa.

“Raya will contact Brian and apologize, Raya will not bother him anymore, Raya will take Carisa away from this country,” said Raya.

“Good, now we can't do anything. Brian's men are looking for us. When there is a chance, papa will come out of this forest looking for villagers. You can contact Brian from there,” said the papa.

“Yes, Raya only needs electricity to charge her phone. Raya will rectify the post that has been uploaded on social media, and apologize to Brian,” said Raya while holding back tears in both eyes.

He sobbed little, actually he still did not accept Brian left him, he already loved the man. He still hopes Brian returns with him. By having a baby, Raya thinks Brian will accept it for the sake of the child. But he was wrong. Brian's hatred for him even more.

“Already, because it's night. Tomorrow we continue our journey. Papa's parked the car in a safe place, right?” ask the mother.

“Already ma, no one will see our car there,” replied papa steady.

By midnight, little Carisa kept crying. Raya had tried to give her breast milk and carried her but the little baby kept crying.

Carisa's cry made them unable to sleep that night.

“Raya try to check Carisa's clothes, there may be ants,” said the mother.

“Dark color, directly change his clothes. Use rubbing oil, maybe Carisa stomach pain,” added the papa.

Raya follows as instructed by her parents but Carisa's little baby is still fussy.

Then from the entrance of two large men. Raya who was breastfeeding the baby immediately held Carisa then ran towards the back door.

“Pursue him,” shouted the man.

“Do not disturb my son,” heard the voice of the mother who tried to hold the two men.

There was a sound of contention from inside the hut.

“Raya quickly go from here. Run as far as possible,” shouted the papa.

“Kill it, interrupt it once,”

The screams of his mother and father were still heard. They were tortured to the point of not hearing a sound.

All that was in the mind of Raya at that time was to go as far as possible to save the baby Carisa.

He hugged Carisa tightly while running through the forest. His steps never stopped even without footwear. He kept breaking through branches, twigs and leaves.

I don't know how long and how far Raya ran. When she realized that little Carisa was silent and silent, Raya decided to stop and sit at a tree root.

He opened the bedong and cloth that wrapped Carisa.

“Sayang?” call Raya.

“Carisa?”

“Baby!”

The baby's body looks weak. Her body had a high fever with an irregular snoring sound.

With tears in her eyes, Raya continued her steps. The morning begins. On the eastern horizon the sunlight began to show the light of dawn in the sky.

Finally Raya decided to walk towards the east. Moments later, not far from where he was walking, he saw smoke rising high into the sky.

He accelerated his steps towards the smoke. Until it is seen two houses that early in the morning have begun to move.

A middle-aged man was sweeping the courtyard of the house near him.

“Pak help me,” said Raya while sobbing.

His tears fell on both cheeks, he cried so much that he fell on the ground.

“Neng, what's up neng. Wake up,” said the man while memapah Raya to stand.

“Buk,” ibuk,” call the man.

“Iya sir,” a woman who is the man's wife is out from the kitchen direction.

“Who is this sir, why is this?” said the mother was astonished.

“Father is also confused, suddenly he appeared from within the forest.”

“Pak, ma'am please my son,” Raya said.

“Below go into oruh, gaffer how?” said the mother.

They brought Raya into the kitchen.

“Neng bring baby, come here give it to mom,” pinta mom it.

Raya handed her little baby into the woman's hands.

“Aduh neng, why is the cloth wet like this.”

The mother opened the wrapped cloth on Carisa's body and then placed Carisa on the chair.

“Please my son bu,” says Raya.

“His baby has a high fever, sir get warm water.”

The mother looked busy looking for a cloth that could be used to replace her wet bedong cloth. He also directly compresses Carisa with a warm cloth.

“It is best taken to his baby doctor neng. I don't know what medicine is for the baby. But the doctor has 9 o'clock at the puskesmas. So while on compress like this,” said the mother.

“Carisa? Baby,” call Kingdom full of softness. He rubbed Carisa's head slowly.

“Not usually she's like this ma'am, Carisa?” call Raya again. “Is there no doctor around here?” tanya Raya's.

“Neither neng. The doctor came from the district, it was only there at 9 to 1 pm,” said the mother.

“Where if neng change clothes first, wet neng clothes all.” The mother noticed Raya's leg which turned out to have scratches in some parts. “And clean the feet neng, otherwise the wound in the feet neng can get worse,” continued the mother.

“But what about carisa bu?” tanya Raya's.

“Baby is this small, the cure is only ASI. After the treatment will definitely improve. We can't carelessly give him medicine.”

Hearing the mother's words, Raya also cleansed her entire body of sweat and dirty. He was wearing the clothes that his mother gave him. After looking neat the mother helped Raya apply wound medicine on her leg.
