Mom For Alleta
Chapter 9: The Father of Aleta.
"no, Aleta just needs attention if I think".
"Aleta in love with mom papa really, she doesn't lack anything"
"what about his parents?"
Allan just kept quiet, it was obvious that he did not want to answer Raina's question.
They had reached the parking lot of Aleta school, even right in front of the park where the students were eating with their mothers.
"that's Aleta, same Marni". Raina pointed at a garden chair that was located a little away from the crowd of people.
"why not the other?" ask Allan curiously.
"he said Kasian Aleta, vain often in nonsense because it is always in the anter of his nanny". Raina looked closely at her new niece.
"oh, what's Marni doing?" Allan looked at Marni with a suspicious look, Aleta who shook her head many times as Marni was about to bribe her.
It seemed like Marni had lost her temper, when the other child had finished eating, Aleta still kept her mouth shut. Marni emotionally squeezes Aleta's nose until the little girl opens her mouth to breathe. However, before Aleta could get oxygen into her lungs Marni had first fed a spoonful of rice into Aleta's mouth.
Aleta choked, spewing rice and side dishes into the mini skirt Marni wore. Raina and Allan are still frozen, staring at Marni's treatment of Aleta.
As Marni pushes Aleta down from the garden chair they are sitting in, Marni grabs her while cleaning her clothes, then picks up Aleta's ear and pulls her back up to Aleta sitting next to her.
Without Raina realizing that Allan had gone to the two of them, Allan held Aleta and scolded Marni, pointing at Marni's face with emotion.
Raina had not yet caught up with them, Allan had first returned and opened the car door next to Raina's seat, putting the crying Aleta in her lap.
"honey, Aleta's okay, right?"
Silent.
Just the sound of a hiccup of Aleta being heard in the car, Raina glanced at Allan who had been sitting next to her.
Arriving at home, Raina holds Aleta who has fallen asleep, Raina covers her carefully so as not to wake her up.
Allan was scolding Marni, and that day he fired her.
Late in the afternoon, Aleta was still asleep in her school uniform. Her small body looks fragile, her sweet face makes Raina feel sad, Marni's treatment was still firmly attached to her memory.
"honey, wake up yuk, we take a shower". Raina said half-whispering in Aleta's ear. Aleta blinked, then woke up instantly.
"Tante rain".
"yes, baby, let's take a shower". Aleta immediately got up when she heard Raina's invitation.
Raina lovingly opens Aleta's school uniform in long socks to her knees, followed by her straight uniform.
Raina's eyes were round, her heart was almost jumping, Raina was limp, she was sitting in the bathroom almost fainting, so many bruises were on Aleta's small body, her arms, her legs, thighs to his back did not escape from the bruise. Raina flipped through Aleta's body, trying to count the number of wounds lodged there.
"Aleta, what's the matter?" raina asked with trembling hands pointing at one of the bruises on Aleta's thigh.
"in the pinch mbak Marni".Aleta replied calmly.
"why not say the same about mama?"
"said mbak Marni if Aleta nurut same mbak Marni later papa so dear to Aleta". Raina's tears just flowed, in her arms a small body full of wounds.
Raina resumed her work, with a cry that would not stop.
Not yet over the pain that plagued Raina's inner self, she was again shocked by Aleta's small screech when Raina touched her right hand.
"sick Aunt".
"why darling?" raina asked, following Aleta's movements, showing her right hand.
Tok tok tok tok
Raina knocks on Allan's room door while holding Aleta.
"why?" allan asked as he opened the door.
Raina, who was overwhelmed by emotions and worries, broke into Allan's room, sitting Aleta in Allan's bed.
"mas, look at this". Raina opened Aleta's long pajama top, Allan was wide, her eyes almost popping out of the hole.
"this is Marni's job, don't let her get out of this house". Raina rebuked Allan. Allan immediately exited the room and dragged Marni to the living room, where she was judged.
Raina and Aleta saw the incident from the 2nd floor, Aleta hugged her Tante tightly.
Moments later two policemen arrive to take Marni to jail.
"let's take Aleta to the hospital for a visa".
"yes mas". Raina immediately brought Aleta following Allan's footsteps.
Before they left Allan had hired some bodyguards to guard his house so that no one could get out of the house.
-
Upon arrival at Aleta hospital immediately in the visa, and the results were very surprising, there were 13 pinch wounds, 2 bite scars, and 1 blunt object blow on Aleta's head, he said, luckily the wound on Aleta's head did not affect her health.
With doubt Raina said the thing that she had been quieting to Allan.
"mas, can Raina talk?"
"please". Allan looked down lethargic after reading the results of Raina's visa.
"can Raina get a blood test for Aleta?"
"why?"
"there are some things Raina suspects all along".
"what?"
"later Raina explained that there was proof". Allan just nodded and left Raina for the room where Aleta was.
-
The next day, Raina and Allan go to the hospital to retrieve Aleta's lab results, because Mr. Lidya and Mr. William are overseas so only the two of them are solving the problem.
Allan squeezed out the paper from Raina's lab test, crouched on the floor covering her face with both hands. Allan cried, Raina who was holding Aleta was confused.
"mas, why Allan?" the real question Raina herself already knew the answer, surely what Raina feared to be true.
"father, why papa?" ask Aleta who was already standing next to Allan.
"papa, so Allan's mas is Aleta's papa?" Raina is monologuing with herself.
Allan stood up, then told Raina to take Aleta to the treatment room which turned out to have been prepared after getting the results from the laboratory. He himself went to the police station.
"rain, don't let anyone into Aleta's room".
"well mas".
In Raina's heart there are still many questions that need answers, but now there is only her and Aleta who cannot possibly give an answer to her question.
