Papa for My Baby

2. Help Mita.

Hisham drove his car quietly. He just got back to practice. Today the patient is very much so he has to go home late at night. When he crossed the bridge he saw a woman on the side of the bridge.

“Ngapain women night-night there?” ask Hisham to himself. Hisham stopped his car on the side of the road and looked back. The woman was about to climb up to the bridge.

“Astagfirullahaladzim.” Hisham quickly turns off his car and gets out of the car. He ran closer to the woman. Hisham hugged the woman's waist from behind.

“Release me! Release him! Let me die,” said the woman while rebelling. When he heard the voice of the woman, Hisham seemed to know her. Hisham lifted the woman's body by force and she lowered it down.

“You?” he asked when he saw the woman's face. It turns out that this woman is Mita. The woman he helped when he collapsed at the tomb.

“What are you doing here?” ask Hisham sharply.

“Please let me die,” said Mita with a weld.

Hisham sighed hearing Mita's words. “You think that by ending life all the problems will be solved? Your sins will multiply because you have killed yourself and killed an innocent baby,”.

“Please sir, let me die. I can't live anymore,” Mita said in tears. Seeing Mita crying Hisham was afraid that others passing by would be wrong. He was afraid that people thought he had hurt Mita. They need to find a safe place to talk. A safe place to talk is the car. Hisham takes Mita to his car.

“Ayo, come to my car!” Hisham gets Mita to his car. Hisham opened the car door. “Log in!” Hisham. Mita got into Hisham's car. Then Hisham got into the car. He started the engine but did not run the car. Mita kept her head down, she did not dare to look at Hisham. He was like a child who was afraid of being scolded by his brother.

“Now tell me what happened!” said Hisham while looking at Mita's face.

Mita recounted with her head lowered.

“My parents knew I was pregnant. My mother found a test pack in my room. He was very angry with me. They were even more angry when they found out that the person who impregnated me had died because they did not know who to ask for responsibility to whom,” Mita replied.

“So the tomb is the tomb of your lover?” ask Hisham.

“Iya, Sir,” replied Mita. Hisham had expected it since the beginning because he had read the identity of the person attached to the tombstone.

“Then why are your nights here? Did your parents kick you out?” ask Hisham.

“No, Sir. I ran away from home. My mother said, I became a disgrace to my family,” replied Mita.

Hisham breathed hearing that. Mita's parents shouldn't have said that to Mita. Problems cannot be solved just by getting angry. Now as a result of their anger, Mita runs away from home and is about to commit suicide. Do they not know that their words make their children desperate?

”Do you know how dangerous women your age are to roam around the night outside?” ask Hisham. Mita nodded.

“Now you I drive home.” Hisham wears a seatbelt and drives his car.

“Where is your home?” ask Hisham while looking at Mita. He sees Mita hasn't worn a seatbelt. Hisham pulled his car over. Then get closer to Mita. Mita regressed her body when Hisham approached her. He thought Hisham would do something to him.

“Seatbelt you haven't installed,” says Hisham. Hisham pulls the seatbelt in front of Mita's body and pairs it up.

“Safety number one,” says Hisham.

“So where is your home?” ask Hisham again.

“Di Babakan Sari,” replied Mita.

***

Hisham stopped his car in front of the black-fenced house. The house looked lonely, it seemed like Mita's parents were already sleeping. The clock on the dashboard shows at eleven thirty p.m. Hisham opens his seatbelt. “Come down!” Hisham. Hisham got out of the car and opened the car door for Mita. Mita hesitated to get out of the car.

“Don't be afraid that I will talk to your parents,” Hisham told Mita. Mita finally got out of the car. They're walking towards the gate. Mia clumped behind Hisham's body

“Assalamualaikum,” says Hisham.

“Waalaikumsalam.” I heard the answer from inside Mita's house. A middle-aged man opened the door.

“What's up, yes?” ask the Emir from the front door. He looked at Hisham's face in full search.

“I drove Mita home,” replied Hisham.

“Loh? Isn't she in her room?” ask the Emir confused. As far as Mr. Emir is concerned, Mita locked himself in a room after being scolded by his mother.

Mita appears from behind Hisham's back. The Emir sighed when he saw Mita was outside the house, not inside the house. He thought his daughter had run away from home. Mr. Emir took the lock of the fence padlock and opened the fence lock.

“Log in!” exclaiming Mr. Emir to Mita. Mita hesitated to enter. He was afraid of being scolded again by his parents.

The Emir sighed. “Come in!” said Mr. Emir.

Hisham entered the house of the Emir. Mita walks behind Hisham's back.

“Please sit!” said Mr. Emir. Hisham and Mr. Emir were seated in the guest chair face to face. While Mita was sitting next to Hisham, she was afraid of being scolded by her father.

“What problems are there?” ask the Emir. Hisham was about to tell her what happened to Mita but suddenly Emilia's mother came to them to the living room.

“Who's coming, Sir?” ask Emilia's mother. He saw Mita sitting next to a man he did not know.

“There is a delivery Mita home,” replied Mr. Emir.

“Loh, isn't he from earlier in the room?” mother Emila asked in confusion.

“He ran away from home,” replied Mr. Emir.

“You yes, already put the family to shame. Escape from the house again! What do you want?” exclaimed Emilia's mother furiously.

Mita just looked down at her angry mother.

“Already, Mom. It's night, shame to be heard by neighbors,” said Mr. Emir who tried to calm Ms. Emilia.

“Mending Mom sitting here. Dengerin Aa's story.” The Emir asked Emilia's mother to sit next to him.

“Continue the story, A!” said Mr. Emir. Hisham told me all about what Mita did tonight. He also told me about the first time he met Mita.

“Astagfirullahalazim, Mita! Short way of your mind!” Mr. Emir is furious with what Mita has done. Mita just looked down while crying.

“Luck Aa it found you. What if the bad guys find you? You are really outrageous!” exclaimed Mr. Emir while looking at Mita sharply.

“Excuse Mita, Father,” Mita said earnestly.

The Emir sighed. “From now on Mother don't be angry anymore! Later if until Mita runs away again, how?” the Emir said to his wife. After all Mita is their only child if Mita goes to leave the house they will definitely be lonely.

“How Mom is not upset. He's already made a family disgrace. Where the jerk is dead, so no one is responsible,” Emila's mother replied in annoyance.

“Already, do not blame the dead! Moreover, even if he is still alive, he does not necessarily want to be responsible,” said Mr. Emir so that Emilia's mother is not angry anymore.

The Emir looked at Hisham. In this day and age there are still people who are kind enough to help their daughters without taking a chance in the narrow.

“Aa what's her name?” ask the Emir to Hisham.

“I Hisham,” replied Hisham.

“Thank you for helping our daughter,” said Mr. Emir.

“Sama-sama, Sir,” replied Hisham.

“About checking Mita's content, Father and Mother can take Mita to my private practice. It's free, sir. I will not charge you a fee,” said Hisham. Hisham took his card from the wallet and gave it to the Emir.

“Thank you, Doctor Sir. Later we will consider,” replied Mr. Emir. The Emir changed his call to Hisham after learning Hisham was a doctor.

“Then I go home. Assalamualaikum.” Hisham got up from his seat.

“Waalaikumsalam,” replied Mr. Emir. Hisham left the Emir's house.

***

Hisham put his body on the bed. Today he feels very cape. His patients were greatly augmented by facing Mita who was about to commit suicide. Hisham remembered Mita. He felt sorry for the girl. Mita was wrong so she became pregnant out of wedlock, but that does not mean that she should continue to be cornered. Mita should have been embraced so that she would not be depressed with her pregnancy.

Hisham thought to help Mita but not financially. If you notice Mita is not from a family of shortcomings. Hisham wants to help Mita by fathering her baby so that Mita's disgrace is invisible to others.

Hisham got up from his bed and took a photo that was on the nightstand. This is a picture of his pregnant wife. “Vin, may you if you remarry?” ask Hisham in the photo.

“Abang pity with Mita. He was a good boy but his luck was unlucky. Brother wants to help her by fathering her baby to cover up her disgrace. You don't have to worry that you won't forget you and our son. You will always be in the heart of Brother,” said Hisham.

Hisham took a photo of the baby on the nightstand. He looked at the baby. The baby was his son who died in the womb of his wife. The photo was taken when the baby was bathed and was about to be covered with a shroud. Hisham's tears flowed down his cheeks. He thought back to his wife and son who died a year ago. His wife died in childbirth and the life of the baby could not be helped. Even though he was a doctor, he could not save the lives of his wife and children.
