Not Just a Milk Mother

Chapter 19

Today, baby Bi is in the hospital for two weeks. For two weeks it allura continued to go back and forth to the room of Mother Ani and baby Bi was in. As long as Mother Ani did not know Allura's work, she did not suspect Allura who sometimes came to her room with more frequent intensity.

While Viana herself did not mind when Allura asked for her help to cover up the true circumstances of Mother Ani. However, today Allura was a little confused because Madam Fika asked her to work 24 hours at her house, of course to take care of her first grandchild.

"Na, do I have to speak frankly to my mother? But, I'm worried if his heart condition has not really stabilized," said Allura who asked for advice from Viana.

Viana who had been silent listening to Allura's story was also confused.she herself was still doubtful about Mother Ani's current condition.

"Would you delay saying this to mom, I'm sure she would be very shocked if she knew your current job. So, what if you ask Mom's permission by saying, you're now working as a baby sitter?" viana's advice.

Allura nodded her head a few times while thinking about the advice Viana gave her, they were both currently in the hospital cafeteria. Allura had contacted Viana to come over there and meet her. Allura also set aside some money from Rivera to buy a cheap mobile phone, so that he can more freely connect with the people closest to him.

"That's a pretty good idea, Na. But ... If I work and live at Mrs Fika's house, what about Mama?I can't leave him alone."

Allura looked down gloomily, the girl was indeed not used to being far away from the mama. However, his job this time requires him to stay away from Ani's mother.

"Hey, I'm not really alone. I will always be with him when I get home from work. And ... I think you can leave Mom to my mom while I'm not there" said Viana, clasping her hands on the table.

Viana who originally offered the job was Allura. So, he was also the one who had to help Allura to be able to finish his work.

Allura looked at Haru Viana, her best friend had always understood her. Allura always wished Viana health and ease in living her days.

"Thank you, Na. You really are my best friend. May God always give you health and comfort wherever you are" said Allura sincerely.

"Amiinu. May you be given the same, too" said Viana.

The pair of friends went straight back to Mother Ani's nursery. Allura planned to ask Mother Ani's permission as advised by Viana, she really hoped that the mother would allow it.

Arriving at Mother Ani's nursery, Allura immediately approached her resting mother.

"Mom's taking the medicine?" allura asked as he stood next to her gurney.

"Already, Ra. It was Viana who helped Mama to take medicine, "Ani's mother replied.

"Oh, thank goodness."

"Tumben you're back here? Don't you take care of the store?" asked Ani's mother who was surprised because the child had returned to the hospital since last, three hours ago.

"Mmmh, anu, Ma, actually ...." Allura looked at Viana who was standing opposite her, hesitating to convey her heart to her mother.

Viana who understood with Allura's eyes immediately nodded slowly, she convinced Allura to continue.

"Why, Ra?" ask Ani's mother when she sees the child who does not continue her words.

Ani's mother was increasingly surprised to see the behavior of her son.

"What's up, Ra? Why should Mama be mad at you? Have you made a mistake?" cecar Bu Ani, he was worried that the child had caused problems at his workplace until he was fired.

"Actually ... Lura ... Lura is no longer working in the store, Ma," Allura said nervously.

"Lho, why?"

"I'm .. Now I work as a baby sitter, Ma. And ... today .. my employer requested that I work 24 hours at his house." Allura replied stammeredly, she was very scared when she saw the glare of Mother Ani's sharp eyes staring at her.

"Baby sitter? You got a baby, Ra?" asked Ani's mother to confirm her hearing.

"I–iya, Mom."

"Oh, yeah, that's okay. Hopefully your employer is a good person and you feel at home working there."

Mother Ani's reply made Allura and Viana quite surprised, they were both already prejudiced against the middle-aged woman who bore her own mother status. They were really very afraid if Mother Ani did not give her permission to Allura, but now Allura and Viana could breathe a sigh of relief because it turned out that the mother allowed it.

"Did Mama really give me permission to work as a baby sitter?" asked Allura while holding her mother's hand.

"Mama will always support whatever you do, as long as it is halal and does not harm you" replied Ms. Ani as she rubbed the child's head with haru. She felt guilty for Allura for not being able to provide a decent life for the child after her husband died.

Allura loosened her hand, she felt guilty for lying to her own mother. Allura accepted a job that would probably harm her. But that is all he did by force.

Forgive Lura, Ma. Lura lied to Mama. One day Lura will tell you the truth, Ma. Please give Lura some time, Inner Allura.

After almost two hours of Allura spent her rest, now the woman who holds the status of a mother of milk also returned to the nursery to breastfeed her employer's child.

Allura's steps grew faster when she heard the sound of the baby's cry that was very familiar. Arriving at the door of the room, Allura rushed to open it. He saw a nurse trying to silence baby Bi from her cries.

"Lho, why is baby Bi crying like this, Sus?" allura asked the baby nurse who was rocking the Stars.

"I don't know either, Ma'am. Though I have given ASIP, but he does not want and even cry shock like this."

Allura immediately took over the Star from the nurse's lap. Allura cradled the baby lovingly, she felt hurt because the baby was crying until her voice was hoarse and coughing.

"Dear, Son. Forgive Ma'am, yes ..," said Allura while rubbing the back of the Star.

The baby's cry began to subside after he felt comfortable because he was in Allura's arms. Allura himself smiled with relief when the baby who approached had calmed down again.

"That girl was smart enough to calm the stars."
