There is No Need for Love

Meilani spirit

Sunday was bright, but once Risda just got up from her bed after many times the sound of knocking on the door of her room. Risda returned a loose smile that led to her when she opened the door, in front of her now stood Meilani in a fairly neat outfit.

Risda crouched to hug the tiny Meilani even though it was class 1 SD, certainly much different from Risda who did have a fairly high posture, 171 CM. the size of the height for the woman is above average.

Risda's height is even only 1 CM different from Asrul's 172 CM, so that if Risda wear high heels it looks that Risda is higher than Asrul, so that if Risda wear high heels, and indeed many friends of Risda's male friends since Junior High to College used to be shorter than him.

Risda stands. “But I haven't had a shower yet, how ?”.

Meilani smiles. “Mother take a shower first, Lani wait”.

“Okey.. wait a minute ya”.

Meilani chuckled, Risda rushed to the bathroom while Meilani went in to Risda's room. Meilani did not feel reluctant to enter because it was common, Risda also felt nothing because Meilani was the one who visited her most often.

The child who served as a florist when the first Risda came first was directly close to Risda, even every week like this Meilani routinely came to Risda to similarly perform the service even though the Meilani family house was at the end of the village quite far from where Risda lived.

But Meilani never complained about it, every chance he must visit the place of Risda, while Risda until now has only come to the house of Meilani.

Risda and Meilani left, actually for Risda personally this is too soon, because the service for adults only started at 10:00 but for Meilani, Risda is fine to leave early.

While waiting for Risda usually use the time available to read the book that was deliberately brought, it can be done because in the yard of the church there is a long bench shade.

Just like today, Meilani immediately entered because the children's worship had begun, while Risda dissolved herself with a book that she had deliberately brought from home.

“Bu Master ..”.

Risda looked over and smiled. “Mother Meilani right ?”.

He nodded. “I Tamia Bu Teacher, Tanteya Meilani”.

Risda develops a smile. “I think his mother Meilani”.

Tamia also had a small smile. “Mother Meilani no longer has Bu Guru”.

Risda immediately nodded. “Again ?”.

Tamia nodded, then she recounted the tragedy that befell her eldest sister, when her mother Rania Meilani was pregnant, but the child shaman who used to help the delivery did not succeed in removing her child.

There was a midwife who lived in the next village, Meilani's father picked up this midwife, because the terrain was difficult and it was raining, then the new midwife managed to get to their village in the afternoon.

The results of the examination said that Rania Sunsang baby and her intestines had been twisted, the midwife suggested that he take her to the sub-district capital, there were puskesmas and doctors on guard, but it was a challenge from residents.

“Challenge ?”. Risda was surprised.

Tamia nodded. “Citizens do not allow pregnant people to be brought out of the village for reasons of breaking the restrictions”.

“So how ?”.

Risda was more interested, but the next story made Risda shudder, her hair immediately rose and her feelings were like being on the clouds, gamang, upset, and afraid there too.

Seeing his wife who continued to experience pain, Meilani's father could not stand, silent he invited his brother to settle the precipitate to take his wife to leave the village to the sub-district capital, they walked through the night that was drizzling rain.

Unfortunately, there are residents who caught and reported it to other residents, this triggered emotions, many residents chased after Meilani's father and his cousin who tried to escape, he said, how people who are holding large pregnant women, of course the path is slow.

“Citizens found it ?”.

Tamia's head bobble. “No. But my brother didn't make it”.

Risda's face paled. “Tak congratulations ?”.

Tamia nods her head, while being chased after the citizens, Meilani's father's cousin surrenders and turns the direction. Meilani's father continued to try to take his wife, but she slipped on the edge of a cliff and fell into a river.

“Mother Meilani ?”.

Tamia shakes. “Meilani's father was only able to save himself”.

“So ?”.

Tamia nodded. “Kakkku Rania dragged by the current that night”.

“Oh .. Lord”. Risda complained while rubbing her face.

The anger of the citizens did not subside, so that only the family who tried to search, they found Meilani's father who fainted during the day, he was handed over to the residents who sentenced him for trying to violate abstinence.

“Mother Meilani how ?”.

Tamia shakes her head again. “A searching family found his body two days later, he was buried in the place where he was found”.

Risda had no more words, although actually a story like this he had read in a news magazine, but hearing directly seemed more stressful. What Risda imagined was Meilani's cheerful face, how the child could have such a fate.

“There are other things besides Bu Guru”.

Risda immediately looked at the clingy Tamia. “What else is Bu ?”.

“Disease Sister Rania is declining to Meilani”.

“Disease ?”.

Tamia nodded her head. “Iya Bu Guru, asphyxiation”.

Risda stuck, it is not an ordinary disease, if not handled properly, how Meilani can continue life, the question, in the condition of this village, where Meilani get good treatment.
