The Widow of One Billion

The Widow of One Billion
The Part 105



The day turned a very bright morning as the morning sun that began to shine on the earth. The sunlight entered through the window cracks in the treatment room occupied by Selvi.


Slowly the woman got out of bed, she wanted to go to the bathroom. Selvi felt her body was already uncomfortable from yesterday she did not touch the water, could not clean herself because of her weak condition, even her heart condition was fragile. Despite this, he forced himself to this day. On some parts of his body still feels pain, but he tries to withstand the pain. He slowly moved his legs to the bathroom, taking advantage of the small baby who was still asleep.


After she was in the bathroom, she cleaned as usual. However, just now he was aware and confused that he did not have a change of clothes.


After finishing with her bathing ritual, Selvi also came out of the place by not changing her clothes, she was still wearing the clothes that were yesterday.


It didn't matter to him because the most important thing was to feel fresher than before.


With slow steps she walked towards the bed where she used to lie there, then, she stood before her little baby box. He looked at the face of the child who brought peace to him.


Although in an inappropriate way she is present, but Selvi with a strong determination will love and protect her child, with all her heart and strength, though, should she exchange her life.


After a long time staring at the face of the child who was still asleep, he climbed back into the bed.


He sat there, looking around the clinic room. In his heart he was grateful to meet someone who was really good to him. He did not expect anyone to help, even though he basically participated and was guilty of causing an accident that happened to him. Even the man treated himself full of gentleness and friendliness, let alone his face and posture was quite perfect. It turns out that in this world there are still good people like Ferdy, his inner self.


The woman felt very lucky to meet the man. However, he also does not want to have to depend constantly on others. Therefore, he intended to leave before Ferdy returned to see him this morning. Selvi felt embarrassed if she still troublesome the man, she did not want to owe him any more.


Selvi came down from the bed again, approached the baby and held him. After which, he stepped slowly closer to the door to look around, making sure that he could safely exit.


After feeling safe enough Selvi immediately rushed from the room, she was in a hurry so that no one would see.


Although it still feels pain in the core of his body, because he underwent the postpartum period for two days. Maybe for others it has not been able to walk too far, but he did so as not to trouble Ferdy continuously.


Last night Selvi had heard Ferdy talk on the phone, about the rental house, for some reason she was convinced that the house was for her to occupy.


According to the woman, it was enough to get here the kindness of Ferdy. He has a considerable debt of gratitude. Maybe if one day he already had enough money, he would come back to reimburse her for delivery today. Actually, this problem has nothing to do with Ferdy, this is all his own fault. If only that night he had crossed over carefully, it probably wouldn't have led others to this kind of trouble. However, he also thought that this might also be the way the power helped him.


After being outside the clinic Selvi who looked pale, walked with a staggering step. She exited the gate holding her little baby looking to the right and to the left.


He was confused to choose the right or left lane really no purpose. He fled not ungrateful, but because he did not want to be indebted. He did not want to make Ferdy feel bothered with taking care of himself anymore. He was willing to waste time, energy and thought, only for a poor woman he did not know at all.


While he is currently confused where to go, he does not have a penny. Until he finally found an alley, he entered through a narrow street, not far from the clinic. Hoping that in that new place, no one recognized her, she would cover up her identity by using the name Selvi.


Today the new father of his life will begin, without the people who have been around him.


"Are you sitting down?" Selvi asked permission from the shop owner.


"Please, Neng," answered the shop mother, while looking at the young mother's face. Without realizing it, it turns out Selvi, the owner of the stall continues to pay attention to the woman.


"Where's the hell you going?” Ask the shop owner.


"I turn on the rented house, Mom, and start a job.it's okay to be a laundry worker or what is important I can work, and get money,” Selvi said.


"That's your baby, looks like it's only been a few days, huh?" Said the mother.


"Just two days Ma!" Answer Selvi.


"Keep how you can work, just also out of childbirth and your baby will also how?”


“Oh, I can do homework, Mom, after all he is still a baby can not do anything so can work freely, Mom,” Said Selvi reassured the shop mother that she could work even though she had a baby.


"But neng.. after giving birth it can not be considered trivial, it could be that you look okay when in fact it is not!" The shop mother commemorates Selvi.


He really did not have the heart to see Selvi, by bringing a baby and having to find a job. While the woman who is still puerperal should not be able to move like an ordinary person. Even though the shop owner's mother had never felt her name giving birth, she still knew the consequences when a woman who was still nifas did heavy work.


"If you want it can be a service at the mother's shop, but the salary is small. Understandably, the stall is not too crowded," The shop owner's mother gave an offer to Selvi.


"Thank you very much Mom! It's okay for me to get a job, and I can eat," Selvi replied with a sense of haru, it turns out there are also people who want to give him a job. Even though he is in this state.


He was very grateful to meet good people, it turns out that in this world there are still many good people.


Maybe this is also the sustenance of the baby in his carrier. The power of God is real.

In the other hemisphere, some people are busy looking for the whereabouts of patients who were still in the clinic this morning. Ferdy was angry at the employee at the small hospital, he was disappointed, why no one knew where Selvi was going. Really he was very frustrated, had to look for where he was also no evidence, which could make it easier for him to find the whereabouts of the woman.


After a long silence, in a confused state. There was someone calling himself to go to the CCTV room, he hoped from there to find out where the woman was going.


Ferdy was already in the room, to look at the record monitor for the recording that was there, there was no bright spot, maybe Selvi also knew, until the moment it came out, he avoids the CCTV area. However, Ferdi suddenly remembered the CCTV that was at the gate, he told the man to open the part of the camera recording that led to the end.
