The Part 103



"We'll stop by the clinic first, okay?" Jack took his wife.


"You what?" Ask Mira wonder.


"Look Ferdy as the baby" Jack said with a straight forward look.


"Alright" Mira replied without asking any further because she knew she would know the answer herself.


Jack slowly drove forward his vehicle, splitting the city crowd.


By that time the afternoon had passed to the afternoon, which meant that they had been around the city of Jakarta for a full day.


Before returning home, Jack invited his wife to stop by first, so as not to go back and forth, to meet Ferdy— his friend who was affected by the problem.


The atmosphere of the road they have to go through, very crowded with other vehicles of various types that participate in filling the streets, is quite beautiful to look at, but makes it difficult to drive because it triggers congestion.


The journey that felt quite long was finally passed and successfully made Zay fall asleep. Maybe zay feels tired after traveling, let alone small children, adults also feel the same fatigue, when having to run activities all day, even if it is a vacation.


The vehicle they were riding in had entered the clinic area, and Jack parked his family's vehicle first. Then he opened the door for his wife.


After that Mira came out while saying, "Mas... Zay, right, how's this sleeping?" Tanya Mira with her husband.


"Just wake up, you can't wait here, right? Who knows we'll be long inside,” Jack said to very wife.


"Yes already" said Mira.


Jack opened the back door to wake his little boy. He took the child out of the car slowly.


Zay opened his eyes when his father touched him. The little family started walking slowly leaving the parking area to immediately enter the clinic. Jack held Mira's hand, with one hand holding Zay, and Mira, who was walking beside her husband, turned to him occasionally.


Seen from a distance a man was sitting on a waiting room chair.


Jack and Mira walked through the hallways of the clinic and finally they arrived, in the room, where the woman was being treated.


Meanwhile, Ferdy was sitting outside the room in the patient's waiting chair. He knew that Jack and Mira would come to visit him, therefore, he was waiting for them there.


"Ah, you guys, finally coming too?" Ferdy asked Jack and Mira.


"Yes, this is just now" replied Jack.


Mira and Jack sit next to Ferdy, while Zay sits on his lap. Although he had already woken up, but the child was not yet fully conscious.


"Can you go home yet?" Jack asked his best friend as he gestured with his chin pointing at the woman who was still lying weak.


"Tomorrow he went home, but the confused cave in asked where the family went and he said he did not have.more confused deh, cave!" Ferdi said as he rubbed his face rough it was really very difficult for him because he did not have to let a woman who had just given birth to leave.


"Lu just find a rented house, which he can occupy. Then, we find out her background, if it's true, she doesn't have a family, she's lying or not!" Jack said to his best friend.


"But, Jakc, he's nobody's cave, you gotta find him a house too." Answer Ferdy.


"Remember this as a social attitude, you towards your fellow human beings, after all this will not make you poor. Just for giving the house a contract and eating the woman, helping the needy is a reward, Fer!” Jack said as he stared fixedly at the face of his best friend who began to look frustrated.


"Where did you meet?" Mira interrupts the conversation between her husband and her best friend.


"Every night, almost the cave hit that guy,” Ferdy replied.


"Can the cave see him?" Ask Mira about Ferdy.


"Please go in, he was again loving you, so the cave came out all waiting for you. And the cave also just came anyway,” said Ferdy.


Mira got up from her seat, then walked slowly closer to the entrance to the room. Her husband and best friend died talking.


Mira walked slowly closer towards the woman while looking at her fixedly. Mita's heart felt a little sore when her gaze met the woman.


Mira was near the patient's bed and pulled the chair beside the bed, then, sat next to a woman who was sitting on the bed holding the baby who was still red.


"Hi introduce. My name is Mira, who's Namamj?" Mira asked as she stretched out her hand and smiled faintly towards the woman.


"Selvi, Ma'am,Mira ..” The woman replied doubtfully.


"Good name, and that baby boy or girl? funny,* said Mira.


"Male, Ma'am," answered the woman.


"Look yeah, sure looks like his dad, oh, yeah where is he now?” Ask Mira.


Instead of answering Mira's question, the woman turned her gaze to another direction, like something was hidden.


Mira who saw it immediately said "No need to answer, if you don't want to, and don't worry about us being here" Mira said.


"It seems like you're really young, how old are you?"  ask Mira.


"Nineteen, Ma'am" he replied.


"Yet young" said Mira.


"Can I hold the baby for a while?” Tanya Mira against Selvi.


"May," Selvi reached out her hand, handed the baby over.


The baby was already in Mira's arms, he stared fixedly at the baby's face in his carrier.


After a long time the baby was in Mura's arms, finally fell asleep and then he put in the baby storage bok not far from his mother's bed.


After putting the baby down, Mira sat back down.


"Eat already?" Ask Mira again, showing concern for Selvi.


"It was mbak, just now,” Selvi said as she glanced at the plate on the nightstand, but the food was only eaten a little.


"Why only a few are eaten, nursing mothers need to eat a lot and do not forget also vegetables" said Mira.


"I'll spend it after this" replied Selvi.


"If you need anything don't hesitate to say to Ferdy, he's a good man, really. So, don't worry," Mira said with a smile towards Selvi.


"Yes, Ma'am thank you very much for the concern of Mbak there me, even though I am a stranger," Selvi said with teary eyes.


While Mira who heard it was stunned, she felt terrible about her life if she thought about what happened to herself in the past.


After that, Mira said goodbye to get out of the room, she had been inside for too long. Moreover, this was also the night he had come home. The woman really felt very tired after a day around Jakarta.


Mira got up from her seat and walked slowly towards the exit. After that, she immediately invited her husband to come home.


Now that Jack and Mira are gone, Ferdy enters the room where Selvi is.
