Pellucid

Chapter 35 - Deep Grief

Finally the act of removing the baby Bening who died at the age of the womb just entering the seventh month was completed.

Doctors take a cesarean section, because the condition is Bening which is quite risky if you deliver normally. Moreover, Bening's pelvic bones are fairly narrow.

There was not much protest either. The young girl who felt failed to become a mother just bowed down and agreed to all the advice from the doctor.

Not even a single tear came out since the bitter news had to be forced to swallow it raw. His throat felt choked as if he had difficulty breathing.

Bening was forced to give up a gold necklace with a small diamond eye accent in the middle which was estimated to have a price of around fifty million rupiah.

He handed it to the head of the team of doctors who handled it. He gave the necklace in lieu of the cost of labor, care for himself while in the hospital as well as the funeral of his baby.

Indeed, Bening did not intend to sell the necklace. But he had no other choice because the cash he had was not enough. If he uses health insurance, worry that his father can find out his whereabouts.

His eyes were glazed over at the necklace, which had long been perched on his neck before being handed over to the doctor.

The papa's gift necklace. The only birthday present from her father when she was five years old. Although it was not his father who handed it over directly to him. It was Riko's adjutant who gave it to her, on behalf of the Papa.

Yes, it was Komjen Pol Prasetyo Pambudi who bought the gift of the necklace for his daughter's birthday. Because Bening was crying did not stop when he wanted a gift from his Papa on his fifth birthday.

Even at that time Bening went on hunger strike and drank so that the Papa would obey him. At first Papa Bening did not want to comply with his daughter's request.

However, seeing Bening fall ill and must be in the hospital. As well as advice from Riko, his personal aide. Finally Papa Bening gave the gift that his daughter wanted.

But because of the love that was covered with disappointment and hate, Riko finally gave the gift to Bening.

The doctor who saw Bening as if not willing to take off the necklace also said, "Mrs Bening need not worry. Operating costs and everything I have to bear first. I will not sell this necklace. I only take it as a guarantee. If later, you already have enough money then it can make up for it back on me."

"Really, Doc?" ask Bening sumringah.

"Yes, Mrs Clear."

"Thank you very much, Doc. I promise I will definitely redeem the necklace someday. May the family of doctors be blessed with abundant fortune" said Bening sincerely.

Bening had taken two photos after giving birth to her baby that had been cleaned by nurses before being buried. She wants to have a memory with her baby that she can print later. Even though the baby is lifeless.

In fact, he also asked to print a photo of the ultrasound several times to the doctor as a memento. The doctor also complied with his clear will.

Due to the condition of Bening post-surgery that is not possible to participate in the funeral, then he can only watch through a video call connection from the nurse who helped the funeral of his baby.

Arjuna's Son. Yes, Bening gave that name to a baby boy who a few hours ago was born in a condition that was dead. Buried in a public cemetery that is quite famous in the city of Yogyakarta.

Bening wants a proper resting place for her baby. As a sign of his love for the baby he loved since the womb.

On top of a small red earth mound that was still wet, with a sprinkling of many flowers on it. There is the name of the Son of Arjuna on a tombstone that is stuck on the top of the navel.

"Sorry Mama, Son. Maafin Mama's. Maafin Mama's. Huhu.." great-granddaughter Bening with sobs that sounded bitter.

A new sobbing echoed in the hospital room, where she was hospitalized.

His hand, which was still wrapped in an infusion hose, was stretched out to touch the screen of his cell phone containing videos of his baby's funeral.

"Mama, please take care of my son there. Sorry Clear, Mah. She failed to be a mother."

Tears just kept flowing down her smooth cheeks. His eyes were swollen because he did not stop crying after seeing the funeral video of the baby. Especially because of a condition, he could not attend directly.

Causing a Bening worse and alone.

When Bening suffered grief over the death of the baby, the same suffering was experienced by Ayu. Grandma Minah is dead.
