Bian's Birth



"Excuse me, Adek. Is anyone hurt?" I asked to split the ranks of the little children, who swarmed in curiosity at the fate of one of their friends.


"Ka.. Whose brother?" asked the little boy who was being held by a woman, reluctantly holding back his cries.


"sorry. The brother in the car. The car that almost hit you standing in the middle of the road."


"I'm sorry? It's not brother's fault. I should have apologized. My brother who was taking me to that street, "he answered innocently, with a typical voice of a child.


"Sister?" ask the woman who held him.


"Oh yes, my name is Aish. And this is my friend, Yumna. I represent all the friends in the car, to apologise profusely."


"Yes, I'm sorry too. Oh yes, my name is Rima. I'm Bian's nanny, this boy" she replied.


"Bian, did you say big brother? You are an only child, dear," replied the woman softly.


"Bian has an older brother, Rima. No, he's hiding in the bush" he pointed at the trees that were clustered far behind where I was standing.


There was the figure of the little girl earlier, who was seen immediately hiding while Yumna and I were observing.


"Maybe Bian is still traumatized. Here's the same teacher, we eat the provisions. Soon it's time to go to your school," persuaded one of the women in uniform like a teacher at this school.


Bian who is still very innocent, agreed to the invitation of his teacher. Step into the classroom, with a cheerful return. Like I barely remember the shock he just experienced.


Me and Yumna who were still curious, took a seat next to Rima. The real babysitter is not much different in age from us.


"Rima, is it true that Bian is an only child?" ask again.


"Yes, why?"


"But he said 'sister'? Who mean?"


"Oh, ummm..... That might be his imaginary friend."


"Are you sure?"


"Yes, I'm sure. Maybe Bian feels very lonely. Because every day at home is alone with me."


"Lha her parents?" ask me again, because I was worried that the figure of the child was back to invite Bian, to something dangerous again.


"His mother died, after giving birth to him. His father, however, was very busy. For the sake of venting his turmoil after the death of his wife."


"Oh, that. Meaning actually Bian's father worked, rather busying himself, just for an impingement because his wife died?" my visit again, because I feel there is something strange here.


"Yes. It was all my fault" Rima said beginning to tear up.


"meaning?" I stroked Rima's back, trying to calm her down a bit.


"If Bian's mother had given birth in the hospital, everything would be fine" she replied, wiping away tears.


"Where did her mother give birth?" ask again.


"Five years ago, it was a difficult time for Bian's father. It began when he had to leave his wife who was pregnant, to take care of his work outside the city. Uh, how am I supposed to confide?" he said he returned to tears.


"Nothing, maybe we can help make you relieved. After all, we also see there is a girl figure that is very similar to Bian. He was the one who invited Bian across the street," I obviously tried to be frank, so that Rima could also be more open to us.


" really? "


" Yes, just continue the story! "


" Hehhh..... All right, this is also for Bian's safety," he said, exhaling violently.


" Where was that? " he asked a little forgot to continue.


"Dad Bian out of town" said Yumna who had been silent.


"Then?"


"Then Bian's mother told me to call Ros. The famous child shaman in the village where we lived before."


"What happens next?" yumna asked again, impatient.


"Huge rain, accompanied by lightning struck, I ran to go to the house Mbah Ros. Armed with a flashlight only, because our house at that time was in the village. The sparsely populated."


"Continue?" ask Yumna again.


"So long after I managed to bring Mbah Ros home, the mother's condition was very weak. So Mbah Ros said he had to be born soon because his birth had broken."


"Kok I'm going with deg-degan ya hear it? How then?"


"Bah Ros asked me to prepare warm water, towels, and some other supplies. He told me to wait outside the house, keeping watch. Don't let anyone enter before he asks," Rima's story begins to look a little relieved on her face.


" You're following? "


" Yes, how else. I think the important thing is to be born soon. I could not bear to see my mother in constant pain. Until finally, Bian's father came as well. "


" Is Bian's father angry, you call a child shaman?"


"He came, wanted to go inside. I prevented according to the orders of the child shaman earlier. But he insisted, and instead scolded me. I finally gave up, and let her in, though there was no sound of a crying baby from inside."


"Then the child shaman was angry?" ask Yumna again.


"Hic.... Hik....," her cries began to become.


"Why? How come it's crying?" tanyaku rubbed his back again, in order to be more calm to continue the story.


"Mommy was stiff in bed. With her baby boy who was eventually named Bian. She just cried after her father opened their bedroom door."


"Then the shaman?" tanyaku and Yumna together.


"The shaman is no more. Escape through the back door. And strangely there was only one baby on the bed," he explained again wiping tears.


"You mean, Bian's twins?" askaku.


"should have. Because it was previously USG, if there are two fetuses in the stomach of Bian's mother."


"Hehhh..... That means, it is true that what looks like Bian is his brother," I replied with a long sigh, and a little limp despite just imagining.


"But this is all a family secret, without telling Bian so he doesn't mind. Why did Bian know? Is it true that the boy figure is always around Bian?" ask Rima.


"Yes, we saw him. But now there's no more. Looks like it's still hiding because there's us, who can see its whereabouts."


I saw Rima's face change. From sadness, to fear. As if something was hidden.


"Then until now, the shaman was never found again? Then, what was Bian's father's response when it happened?" my many.


"After knowing Bian's mother died, and the shaman ran away somewhere, we immediately looked for her. Little Bian we're tipping over to the neighbors, in pursuit of Bian's twin brother who might have been taken by him."


"Meet?" ask again.


"But unfortunately did not meet, even RT sir blamed me who had called the shaman to help the mother's delivery," he continued.


"Aish, Yumna, it's still a long time?" shouted Azzam's brother who walked up to us, on the bench of this school waiting room.


"Yes, in a minute!" my answer.


"Why did RT beat you?" I asked again, already curious.


"Because the child shaman was once expelled from the village. Because it turns out he also likes to perform mystical rituals, in order to deepen his magic. And those poor babies as the collisions," Rima explained, leaving us agape.
