The Love of the Master

Episode 138 of Curhatan Hanum

Nindya kept pacing around in her house, she felt sorry for Hanum. What else with a bruise on his face from that guy's punch. Without thinking for long, Nindya returned to Hanum's house.

"Where are you going?" rahayu asked her son.

Nindya approached her mother before going to see Hanum. "Mom, I'm going to Hanum's house for a while huh, want to give medicine for him pity him, if Mas Andra nanyain I just say I go to Hanum's house. I feel sorry for him, who knows if he wants to tell me it's just the two."

"Yes, try to help her, who knows she's open to you."

"Yes, Mom. I'm saying goodbye." Nindya went to Hanum's house, because her house was near only the road that was the barrier to their house so it did not take long she arrived.

"Excuse me" said Nindya.

Hanum is out. "You want to buy some more rujak?" ask Hanum.

"No, but can I come in? Your face hasn't been treated, here I bring medicine for your wounds." Nindya showed me the medicine box she was carrying. Nindya was sure that Hanum definitely did not have any medicines in his house.

Hanum did not allow it because he did not want to trouble others. He also felt that Mr. Halim's family was good to him, in contrast to other residents who always gossiped about him.

"I can't possibly let you be like this, I won't be mean to you." Nindya persuades Hanum to let her into her house.

Then, Hanum gave way to Nindya. "Please." Hanum shifted his body so that Nindya could enter.

Nindya saw the whole house of Hanum, very simple situation there. There was nothing, just an old chair. The bed was just a mat in the room, there were no doors or curtains covering the room so Nindya could see it directly.

"Have lived here long?" tanya Nindya, living in the city made her not know there are new citizens in her hometown.

"That's three months." Hanum replied while touching his stomach.

Nindya watched as Hanum touched her stomach. "You hungry?" tanyanya.

Hanum shook his head, suddenly his eyes began to pool with tears. She couldn't help her pain because she was pregnant.

"Keep why?" asked Nindya out of curiosity. Hanum remained silent. "Yes, it's okay if you don't want to talk. But treat your wound yeah, I'm afraid it's an infection." Nindya pulled out alcohol to clean the wound from the woman's blow.

"Let me alone." Hanum took the same cotton of alcohol in Nindya's hand, "thank you for being nice to me."

"Yes, equally. How old are you?" nindya asked because Hanum looked younger than her.

"22" he answered.

"We're 3 years different, I'm 25. My son is also 2, they are twins. And now pregnant with the 3rd child" explained Nindya.

Hearing Nindya's words made Hanum start to speak about his life. No one knew she was pregnant.

"I'm pregnant too, Ma'am," Hanum said slowly.

"Pregnant? Aren't you married?" Nindya was surprised to hear Hanum's words.

"Everybody doesn't know they're married, so they gossip about me that doesn't."

"Where is your husband?"

"No idea, after marriage she left without news. We got married without anyone knowing, because my family didn't approve of our relationship."

"So, you eloped?" Hanum nodded, but now that she didn't know where her husband was, she came here to look for him she said her husband Hanum confessed to being here.

"How old are you?" ask Nindya.

"It's been two weeks, Ma'am. I'm confused as to what to do, don't know where to look."

"Who's your husband's name?" ask Nindya.

"Doni, he said the man here. But after I tried to find out there's no Doni here."

"Citizens say, you like to wander through the night. That, what are you doing?"

"Finding Doni, we met at a local club here. Every club I went to, but never met. Maybe the residents know I'm a bad woman from there, often wandering around the night entering the club here and there," he explained.

"Nobody believes me, everybody thinks I'm a despicable woman. What else if they find out I'm pregnant, they're gonna insult me even more."

While talking, Hanum also while treating his wounds.

"I'm sorry about your situation, don't hesitate to ask my mother for help yes, she's nice. Tomorrow I have to go back to the city, I'm sure you can get through this." Nindya said while embracing Hanum.

"Thank you for being nice, I just wanted to say, if there's a thing called Doni can tell me."

"There's pot? Maybe with that I can figure out who your husband is."

Hanum got up from his seat, went to the room to take a picture and then came back and showed it to Nindya. "Here, Ma'am." Hanum showed the picture to Nindya.

"Ok, I'm trying to call you when I see this guy. Do not hesitate with my mother yes, I go home first," said Nindya.

"Yes, Mother. Thanks again."

Nindya returned to her house, when her husband entered immediately asked. "Where is abis? Nala's looking for you?"

"From Hanum's house," replied Nindya.

"Well?"

"Give her medicine. Nathan hasn't come home yet?"

"Not yet, he's following Panji. He said to play to his friend's house" Andra explained.

"It was late afternoon, Mom. You find him, I'm worried. Tomorrow I have to go home. Mommy and daddy must be happy to hear that they will have another grandchild" explained Nindya.

Andra wants Nindya has not told them about her second pregnancy, because they will surprise Wilian and Anye on annivarsary day.

"Yes, I'm looking for them" Andra said.

After Andra's departure, Nala and Rahayu came to Nindya.

"Mommy abis from where?" ask Nala. Although Nala crust got scolded from the mommy did not make him upset, he still spoiled on his mommy.

"Abis to aunt Hanum's house" replied Nindya.

"Is he open to you?" ask Rahayu.

"Yes, Mom. I feel sorry for her, Mother help her, will you? She's also pregnant again, the same age as me."

Rahayu frowned in confusion, how old Hanum is not yet married, but why is she pregnant? Is the rumor going around about him true? Her thought.

"Mother don't think badly of her, she's married but her husband left her," Nindya told her mother.

"What a pity, didn't her family come looking for her husband?"

"He eloped, Mom. The relationship doesn't get blessing, about that I don't know why his parents didn't approve of it."

Their conversation stops, as Andra comes home with Panji and Nathan in tears.

"Nathan why?" ask Rahayu.

"Don't want to go home, he's at home with his friends" replied Andra.

"Mommy, Daddy's fierce. He scolded me because I was still playing." Nathan was crying while hugging Nindya.

"Daddy is not scolding you, it's already afternoon if you remember the time" Andra said.

"This is because Panji, Mom, don't let Panji play without remembering the time. Later the habit he does not feel at home," Nindya told his mother. "Mending, now you take a shower," he told Nathan, "tomorrow we'll go home."

Nathan was obedient to the mommy, he immediately went to the bathroom with Panji.
