Mothers

18 Make Breakfast

Nugraha was stunned to see the video. He really did not expect that he would watch a video like a creepy scene like on television.

"Sir, this video you got at Mother Kinanti's house, sir?" tanya Nugraha did not believe it.

"Yes, what if Renata asks?" Mahendra looks frustrated how to deal with reality. Not because of the situation. But how would Renata react if he knew that Kinanti's condition was quite concerning.

"It's a rather difficult condition to tell Renata, sir" Liliana said. "Even though his mother had died, at least he felt a great shock if he knew of his condition."

Mahendra thought again. "In case try to crop only the Kinanti section when the disease relapses. And save it in a different file. Please check the remaining five cameras again" Mahendra said later.

Now it's Liliana's turn to open the video file. The video Liliana saw showed a corner of the living room where the camera was recording while Kinanti was relaxing watching television.

At first the video showed Kinanti activities who like to read books or watch television. But sometimes Kinanti holds her head which may hurt. Kinanti's voice was heard complaining of pain but not how severe. Kinanti always grabbed the desk drawer beside the sofa and took out the medicine bottle. A definite characteristic is that near Kinanti there is always water to drink.

For several hours, Liliana noticed that Kinanti's activities still looked normal. But one time, Kinanti shouted and took the drug out of the bottle did not match the dose until the drug fell to the floor. Kinanti grabbed her hape and called someone in a hasty and unbalanced motion.

"Nina, my medicine's gone Nina. Nina help me Nina.."

Kinanti begged Nina to come soon. Liliana did not believe that Kinanti suppressed her passion so strongly as not to become her bad persona. Kinanti's face looked red withstanding the pain in her head. He could not bear to grab his own hair and scream hysterically. A few strands of hair fell out and he threw the pillow in an erratic direction. Suddenly Nina comes and is hysterical with Kinanti's body looking stiff.

"God!! Coachee.. Kinan! What the hell's going on? I brought you some medicine, take your medicine!"

Nina took the medicine out of her bag and drank two grains for Kinanti. Instantly Kinanti felt calm and limp. Nina still looks panicked with Kinanti's state. Kinanti's face was sweating and Nina wiped it off.

Liliana was shocked when she saw Nina crying.

"Sir, who is this Nina, sir? Why is there always?" lily began to wonder.

"She's her husband's second wife, Ibu Kinanti. Stepmom Renata. At first I thought Nina was evil and wanted to rule over her husband's possessions. But after seeing this video, I'm not sure that Nina is evil."

Liliana and Nugraha nodded in understanding of what Mahendra was explaining. They watched the video again. This time Kinanti was sleeping on the sofa and Nina wiped her tears. Nina took the e-cigarette out of her bag and called someone.

"Dok.. How'this? Looks like Kinanti's condition is getting worse. Kinanti called me and said the medicine was running out. But after I came it turned out that the medicine was all falling on the floor. I have to how Doc?"

Nina was crying again. It was obvious that Nina was very worried about Kinanti.

"At the time I came he was screaming and holding himself back from hurting himself. But I think he's pulled his hair out."

"I'm confused, Doctor. When is there another schedule? Sometimes I can't see the situation. Fortunately, Renata is currently working. So I'm a little calm."

"Good, Doctor. Thank you." Thank you."

Nina hung up the phone and wiped her tears back. Not long after, Kinanti woke up and felt somewhat dizzy. He blinked because it was a bit glare with the light from outside the window.

"Nina.. "

"Are you awake?" Nina smiled at Kinanti as if nothing had happened.

"You've been coming for a long time? I fell asleep, didn't I?"

Nina was a bit surprised by Kinanti's question. But he tried to be as normal as possible.

"I just came. When I came, you were already asleep. I can't wake you up." Nina smiled.

"Oh so. Have you been drinking yet? I'll get ya.." Kinanti was about to stand up but her hand was immediately grabbed by Nina.

"No need. I just brought you some medicine and I'd like to say good-bye, too." replied Nina.

"Oh so yeah. What time is it? I slept a long time. So you waited too long."

"No, Kinan. I have something to buy. I have to get home soon." Nina smiled again.

But Kinanti looked at Nina's face which looked different. His eyes look red.

"You're crying, huh?" Kinanti held onto Nina's cheek.

Nina pamit and immediately left Kinanti's house.

Liliana was very weak watching the video. So did Mahendra and Nugraha.

"It looks like we should try to get to that psychiatrist" Mahendra said.

"Yes right, sir. We should try to get to him. Let's go to the doctor that Renata found the diagnosis" replied Nugraha.

"Yes, great. Nugraha, try to call the doctor and ask for an appointment with him. Liliana, let's check the remaining four cameras again."

Herlina still looks energetic with her activities today. Despite her age, Herlina still looks healthy and there are almost no wrinkles on her face. Herlina is currently still completing her facial treatment before meeting with her brand ambassador.

"Mother."

Herlina did not ignore him. He was busy continuing his face treatment.

"My room rent's up. And I can't go back to Jakarta now either. I'll just sleep in Mom's room." said Candra with her bag.

"Begging for an extra mattress" said Herlina, putting lipstick on her lips.

"Why do I have to ask for an extra bed, Mom? Do you wear a king-size mattress?" Candra was very confused by Herlina's request.

"Who said you could sleep in Mom's bed? Sleep down there with a folding mattress!" herlina said resolutely without a smile and with a keen eye.

"Mother..why so much?" Candra complains and makes Herlina even more unhappy.

"If you don't want to, just sleep in the lobby there."

"Momuu..."

Renata called Mahendra. He was very curious about the small camera that Mahendra brought to the prosecutor's office.

"Remissed?"

"Oh, Hi..." Renata felt a bit awkward greeting Mahendra.

"Ehm. I want to know what the video is about."

Mahendra was silent for a moment. Renata was dissatisfied with Mahendra this time.

"Sir Prosecutor, what's wrong?"

"I'll tell you when we meet later."

Renata felt something was wrong. Why did Mahendra doubt the answer?

"What's up, Mr Prosecutor? You're hiding something?"

Mahendra did not answer. Mahendra was silent not knowing what to answer. Suddenly the sound of hysterical screams from the end of the phone made Renata shocked..

"What's that sound?" ask Renata. But there was no answer from Mahendra.

"You're checking that camera, right?What's it, Mr Prosecutor?"

Mahendra answered Renata's question.

"Oh that, we're looking at a horror movie."

"Don't be stupid, Mr. Prosecutor. It's business hours. Why are you watching this horror video at this hour? I'm going to the prosecutor now!" Renata is determined not to listen to Mahendra's unreasonable excuses. He grabbed his bag and jacket and took the keys.
