Flash Back's

"Ela, 'why are you?" ask your mom who just got home from school.

Basagita's mother was a primary school civil servant teacher in the area where she lived. Not far from his home, only a trip of about thirty minutes by motorbike.

"My stomach hurts a lot, ma," he said weakly while holding his stomach.

"We go to the hospital, yuk" asked the mother. Even his helmet and bag had not been put down. He is really panicking right now.

So pale was Daniela's face, even standing up could not.

Basagita's mother reached into her bag and took the phone from inside. He intends to contact his rickshaw. He realized, he would not be able to bring Ela with a motor in this situation.

In a hurry, he scrolled the phone. Once he realized, he could not read without glasses. He took back the glasses from his bag. Cataract disease that he suffered, requires him to diligently drip water from the soaking of the leaves, whether the leaves do not know. Every morning he soaked the leaf, then dripped the marinade into his eyes.

It seemed like he had forgotten this morning, performing the ritual. But I don't know.

Soon enough, the familiar rickshaw in the ears of mama Basagita, even the neighbors have been heard cheering him because the rickshaw subscription has arrived. The neighbors are wondering.

"Why do they use rickshaws, the bike is there. Two more." That's what might be in the minds of the neighbors who kepo his maximum. The last time the family ordered rickshaws while carrying her husband - Basagita's husband, Rudi, was dying and had to be rushed to the hospital.

And in the end, they cannot be saved. Chronic lung disease claimed the lives of the father of three children.

Basagita's mother was in shock when the doctor explained that the delivery time had arrived. Who is in labor? Ela is not married.

"I mean doctor? Who's pregnant?" mama Gita was confused.

"Lho, the woman who was with the mother earlier. Mother's son, right? She's the one who's giving birth. The birth canal has already opened ten, ma'am. It's complete," explained the doctor in more detail while spreading his smile.

Not strong it feels like the legs of Mama Gita to stand. His legs shook, and his body also did not believe the doctor's words just now.

"My child is pregnant? And giving birth? That can't be the doctor. The doctor lied, right? How my child wants to give birth, not just get pregnant. My son is not married to a doctor.. Doctor, don't talk, yeah. I know my son."

The beautiful doctor was silent. His smile was saved back. He thought the family would be happy with the presence of the baby. But this is what? Why does it look like this mother doesn't know? That is the question in the heart of the doctor.

Before they entered the USG, they passed the doctor Alya, an obstetrician.

"Lho, Auntie? Sick aunt? How alone?" He greeted mama Basagita who looked alone with a face that was still in shock.

Finally, Anne's doctor - the doctor who examined Ela - told his colleague about the arrival of Basagita's mother. Dr. Anne and Dr. Alya, both obstetricians.

"Yes, let me take Ela with you to another patient" Alya smiled.

"Okay, doctor," said Anne.

Doctor Alya does not want to arise rumors in the hospital about the family of Basagita's mother Between them there is still a family relationship even though far away. He knew very well how the family of Basagita's mother. They're a good family. Doctor Alya still keeps asking questions in his heart about the explanation of Dr. Anne just now.

Finally, Alya's doctor helped with Ela's normal delivery, along with the nurse at the hospital. The 2.5 kg and 48 cm long baby was born into the world.

"It's pretty, like his mother," said the doctor.

Mama Basagita was silent. He's still in shock. She had no idea she had a granddaughter of her unmarried daughter Daniela. He knew all along Daniela was a plain and innocent girl. Especially when he was still living with her, he was very monitoring the relationship of his daughter.

But unexpectedly, his return from Malaysia even rewarded them with disgrace, pregnant out of wedlock. Even the man who took away his honor didn't know where the jungle was.

Where is Daniela the innocent girl? Has the country changed it? Did his association in the country lead him to the brink of destruction?

Between happy, upset, angry, sad mixed into one. That's what Basagita's mother felt when she saw the baby who was still in the sling of the doctor.

"Tante, what exactly is going on? Is she not married?" ask doctor Alya.

This is the question that Basagita's mother avoided. But he can what? Inevitably he also told all of it to doctor Alya.

"Alya, you can keep a secret right?'

"Of course, Auntie. Aunty already knows me" said Alya.
