My Aunt is my Beloved
CHAPTER 3 – TOGETHER
Kania, who was 9 years old, had to struggle around the hospital to seek the help of her newborn niece.
Unfortunately, none of the hospital staff were sorry for him.
Same reason.
“Suster, please check on my sister. He was just born. I'm afraid she's why-why.”
But it is not the question of the condition of the baby or the information about the birth mother of the baby that was first heard by Kania from the nurse who was guarding in the emergency room but, rather, the,
“Where is BPJS?”
“This, Sister.”
“Lho, is this your BPJS yes, Dik? All I ask is BPJS from Dedek his Baby.”
“Lho how's this Baby Dedek got BPJS, Sister? This baby has just been born. She hasn't even taken care of her birth certificate.”
“Lha, Kok Adik even snapped anyway?! If so, how can Dedek Baby be born?! What did the hospital where she was born do?!”
“Sorry, Sister. I didn't mean to yell. But this Baby Dedek assisted with the birth of the same midwife outside the hospital because his condition did not allow that time. My brother water his waters broke at the time we were on our way and was in the middle of the forest.”
“Lha where does her mother go?”
“My sister... My sister is dead, Sister. Hiks... Hiks..”.
But let alone sympathize with Kania's tears, the nurse simply replied firmly.
“Then Dedek Bayinya can not be treated using BPJS, but must be at a standalone cost.”
“But I have no money, Sister.”
“Then, please lift foot from this hospital.”
As such, Kania was rejected in any hospital for the same reason.
Even the 500 thousand money he had brought from his village that he had painstakingly collected over these years for his emergency expenses, he said, there is only 10 thousand rupiah left after buying baby Dedek formula and transportation costs here and there looking for hospital assistance that ultimately does not produce results.
But if help is to come, there is only the way of his coming.
At a time when Kania had not expected much, in one of the private hospitals he visited, he said, finally there are nurses who treat it with friendly and the hospital is ready to take care of the Baby Dedek even without being paid a penny.
That is because the hospital is nothing but a charity hospital.
“Really Sister? Thank goodness! Finally!”
Kania was suddenly excited as if the burden of his life had been released.
But it's only for a while.
Unintentionally, Kania listens to the sisters' secret talk.
“So how's the baby Sister Maria doing?”
“Maybe a miracle from Him so that the baby could still survive despite being born in a dire surrounding condition. But the problem is what will happen to the baby in the future.”
“That's right, Sister Maria. His mother died after giving birth to him and now only minors can take care of him. So what are we gonna do, Sister Maria? If we just leave the baby like that, the baby will be difficult to survive. And it will certainly also affect the mental of the child who takes care of the baby because it has become a caregiver at a time when he should still be able to play freely.”
It was seen that an old woman wearing a black-clothed look with a veil covering her head was thinking hard.
“We can raise that baby. If we are properly educated, when a big baby it can be a loyal follower of our dogma.”
“Lantas how about the child who took care of it?”
“He is young but he has passed the age to start following our dogma education. What can we do, we can not also take care of him.”
“There is no other way. But we will as much as possible help him obtain another place of residence among the followers of our dogma.”
As if lightning had struck at Kania's head, she once again experienced the frustration that was so mentally tormenting that she unintentionally heard the words of one of the sisters who cared for Dilan.
“We can persuade the child well. After all this was also the best way for him to continue his life. She can't be a mother at her young age.”
Once stung with hatred in Kania's heart towards Dilan who because of his birth caused his beloved sister to breathe her last breath.
Kania once thought that if the baby disappeared from before her, it might be the best thing for her.
However upon seeing Dilan's smile which reminded her of her brother's sincere request at the end of her breath, Kania could not let go of the precious treasure.
The last memory left by the brother he loved so much.
And more than anything, just as Kania loved Sekar, deep down, Kania also loved Dilan very much.
That's why she could never have agreed with the sisters' advice.
But Kania can do nothing.
His age is young.
He's not old enough yet.
He could not resist when the Baby Grandpa would be taken by the sisters.
It is possible that the life of the Infant Dedek will be more prosperous in the hands of the sisters than living with him.
But the selfishness in Kania's heart did not want to let go of his only family now left in the world, his precious nephew.
Moreover, Kania who had been raised in an orphanage with her beloved sister, knew very well how the life of the orphanage.
It could be that the foundation that manages the orphanage is a trust so that the children can live happily.
After all, the label as a home child will never again be separated from the children of the home.
They would be underestimated wherever they were.
Only because of the absence of their parents.
Not infrequently also who harass them by mixing facts against nonsense by saying they are illegitimate children or unrecognized children or even unwanted children even though most children are in fact nursing homes in that city came from the victims of a father and mother who died from the dangerous mining work their parents were working.
No matter how small the possibility, Kania did not want Dilan to feel the bitter experience as he had felt before.
Then with determination, Kania also did the desperate act.
Right in the middle of the night blind, Kania returns to the hospital through the back road like a thief to take Dilan away from the hospital.
- Prak.
The sound of the broken window glass immediately woke the sisters who were on guard that night.
It didn't take long for the sisters to realize what had happened.
“How is it, Sister Maria? It seems that the boy has taken the baby.”
“There's not much more we can do. Nor can we separate families who love each other. The best we can do now is pray for them to have a good life. May the Lord always accompany their steps.”
Sister Maria did not look angry at all let alone upset at the decision of Kania.
He just flatly stared at the broken window glass.
