Scavenger Becomes New Director

SNAKE

***

Aunt Santy started sobbing with a voice that started to slow down. Seeing that the two policemen apologized.

" I'm sorry if this question has exposed my mother's old wounds or made me sad. But this is our job - our mothers have to find the right meeting point that this child is nurtured by the mother. This is going to be our report to the superiors and an important point in this case is are both parents of Jimmy's son dead?" Ask one of the police while taking out the tape and stationery as well as books.

" I'm sorry sir, doesn't mean I don't want to answer all of my father's questions but can I see my son's condition first?" Ask Aunt Santy with a puffy cheek.

"Oh yes sorry-sorry mother" the police said. He just remembered Aunt Santy had not had time to visit the boy.

" Let's mom" James said, standing up, followed by Steven and Aunt Santy, Sita and the two policemen.

they scoured a few hallways and went up to the second floor where a special place for the owner of a hospital or private hospital or nursery.

when entering the nursery where jimmy was treated. Aunt Santy and Sita were even amazed by this room because it looked like a 5-star hotel room. Combined with the whole white color and luxurious room ornaments or decorations make them feel not like in a hospital but in a hotel that once spent millions of dollars.

" Wah-wah, it looks like Mr. James is a generous delay. How could he possibly place this unknown child in this special family room." One of the policemen said in his heart.

" Santy's mother is your adopted son." James said as he approached the wide and luxurious bed.

It appears there are two nurses who are loyal to guard while continuing to check what condition Jimmy if at any time he woke up.

" Oh, Jimmy!!" Shouted Aunt Santy saw the condition of Jimmy who was still assisted by oxygen and wrapped with complete medical equipment and several bandages on the body of his arms and legs.

" Brother Jimmy!!" Shouted Sita equally hysterically.

when the child and his mother were about to approach the bed to immediately hug Jimmy the two beautiful nurses who were in charge of caring for Jimmy immediately drove them away.

"Don't touch mom first. He was still unconscious and had some of his minor wounds bandaged." I hope you calm down and don't panic. He's doing just fine.

" How could it be okay? Sister just look at her body filled with equipment as if she was in a coma" Aunt Santy said as she stared intently at the nurse.

The nurse explained Jimmy's entire situation as the doctor had told James. Aunt Santy and Sita are relieved but still a little worried because until now Jimmy has not been conscious.

They stood and exchanged stories. Until one day one of the police dig information from Aunt Santy to be used as a report.

"Do you know the two biological parents of this child?" Ask the police while preparing stationery and recording devices.

"Yes sir, we've been neighbors for decades, sir." Answer Aunt Santy.

"May I know if this child is in school?" Ask the police again.

"He hasn't been in school since he finished Elementary two years ago sir. Since her father's death two years ago, her mother has died 10 years ago while giving birth to her younger brother Jimmy, I was only able to send him to elementary school and had no more fees to give him education in junior high school because I had to pay Sita my real child." Aunt Santy replied with a sad face.

James who was standing not far from where the police and Aunt Santy were sitting began to put his ears because he was interested in their conversation, and finally he put his ears well.

"What???" James said suddenly and immediately walked up to the police and Aunt Santy followed by Steven who was curious about the phrase Aunt Santy earlier.

"I mean mother?" James said quickly as he approached them.

"Yes Mr. James, Jimmy adopted them 13 years ago." Aunt Santy said with trembling lips because she had kept this secret for so long. Even to Jimmy, he had not once mentioned this story.

"So right my guess. Seeing this child is like having mixed blood. He's very handsome." James said inwardly as he scratched his non-itchy chin.

"Do you know when they adopted this child?" Steven's question represented James' curiosity.

Aunt Santy replied, One of the policemen cut their conversation.

" I'm sorry, Mr. James and Mr. Steven, I'm sorry we cut your conversation. It is now 10 pm and I think from the report of Ms. Santy and the testimony of witnesses and residents in their settlement was enough to be our report. So I beg you to go back to the office."

" Oh, forgive us sir for talking so far as to forget the two of you." James's Sahut.

" Thank you so much sir has taken care of the Lakalantas report and apologized if it interferes and takes the time of the father both until this late hour." James said as he reached out and shook hands with the two policemen with a cheerful smile.

"Thank you, Mr. James, for entrusting us to take care of all this." Another police officer said they were shaking hands.

Steven handed a brown envelope filled with cash as a gift to the two policemen. It's not a bribe or anything but it's just a thank you.

"Don't sir, we work sincerely and don't look on because of wealth. Serving the father alone is a pride for both of us." One of the police officers said he refused Steven's handover.

After a tough conversation because the two policemen insisted on refusing, Steven finally relented and the two policemen left Steven and James sitting on the soft sofa, while Sita faithfully keeps Jimmy by his bedside.

"So how can Santy's mother, can we continue our conversation?" James asked directly back to their question.

"Where should I start, because it happened a dozen years ago." Aunt Santy said as she looked the other way as she tried to recall the events of the past dozen years.

When Aunt Santy was about to start her story suddenly heard a coughing sound, followed by Sita's scream.

" Mom, Brother Jimmy, ....... Mother quickly came here first," she cried with overlapping words and wrapped in a panicked face.

Steven, James and Aunt Santy sprint in the direction of Jimmy's bed.

there were already the two nurses, and they saw Jimmy had opened his eyes with a strange look to everyone who surrounded him.

"Where am I?" Finally he made a sound.
