With a slow step, Rindi walked out of her room. Her tears were still streaming down her chubby cheeks. Even though his mouth had said sincerely, but his heart was still unable to fully reveal it.
Rindi still wears a light blue hospital dress shaped like a negligee. His left hand held the still-painful abdomen and his right hand was used to rest on the walls of the hospital corridor.
The atmosphere of the hospital is now quite quiet because the clock has shown at nine pm and it is certain that other patients are resting. But different from Rindi, because all day was used for rest so as not to make him sleepy again.
Rindi's feet wearing white hospital sandals now stepped limped towards the hallway not far from her room. Rindi walked with her blank stare as well as slow footsteps.
Elsewhere, Nada was calming her second granddaughter who was fussing. The second son of Rafa has been given the name Galactic by his father. The tone continues to hold the Galaxy so that the crying subsides.
The galaxy is still being treated in hospital as per Rafa's request because it was only born five days ago without a mother figure. Now Nada is waiting for her grandson alone because Rafa is busy with work and divorce affairs with Laura. And Andre is also guarding the space in his home. Nada and her husband had agreed to share the duties of looking after their two grandchildren.
Nada had asked the baby sister who came with her to keep the Galaxy ready for milk. Trying to calm down with milk, the Galaxy still did not stop crying.
Tone petted his granddaughter by walking around a special hospital room baby occupied by the Galaxy to stop crying, but the baby was still not calm as well.
Rindi, who heard the sound of the baby crying, tried to approach the room from her cries. Rindi saw a middle-aged woman holding a crying baby. Rindi saw that from the door opening slightly.
Encourage yourself to knock slowly on the door of the room and ask permission to enter. After being touched by the middle-aged woman, Rindi stepped into the baby's room and saw a baby sister also inside.
"Sorry, that's the baby why Mom?" Rindi asked with a look that led to the baby wrapped in a cloth bedong that was crying.
"My grandson is fussy, son, I've tried to give milk continues also in the same carrier babysister also remain not calm. I was confused how to do it again, pity has also been crying for a long time" replied the middle-aged woman while wiping away the tears that flowed on her granddaughter's cheeks.
"I'm sorry if I'm presumptuous, where is the mother of the baby?" Rindi asked cautiously afraid of offending the middle-aged woman in front of her.
"My daughter-in-law doesn't want to take care of her baby boy. After giving birth she ran away with her affair and immediately gave divorce papers to my son" Reply the middle-aged woman. Yes, that woman is the Tone that is cradling the Galaxy.
"Oh my God, how could he leave a baby in desperate need of a mother. If Mom allows it, can I carry it?" Rindi asked Nada and answered a nod by her despite hesitation.
Rindi received the Galaxy carefully for fear of its condition. Rindi holds the Galaxy in a comfortable position. As Rindi held the Galaxy and held it slowly, her cries slowly subsided. So that makes Nada and babysister surprised.
Rindi continued to pet the galaxy until the baby fell asleep soundly in her carrier. Rindi smiled sweetly at the baby in her cradle, kissed her forehead gently and rubbed the top of the Galactic head affectionately.
Rindi placed the Galaxy in the cot very carefully for fear of awakening. After making sure the Galaxy fell asleep comfortably and soundly, Rindi rubbed gently the baby's puffed cheek.
Rindi walked slowly towards Nada and the baby sister who was covering her mouth in disbelief and sat on the sofa close to Nada.
"No thank you so much for helping me. But from now on, Tiyas and I have tried to calm the Galaxy but have not yet subsided. And you who are only one fat one can stop his crying and put him to sleep" said Nada while stroking Rindi's hand which contained traces of infusion.
"Yes ma'am, you're welcome. I like babies so much that it makes me understand a little bit about babies" Rindi replied by stroking the soft hand of Nada which still looks smooth.
"What's your name, son? and why are you here?" Tanya Nada looked at Rindi's pale face with very clear panda eyes.
"My name is Rindi Ma'am. I'm here because I had an accident that left my stomach badly injured. I have also had surgery to remove an ovarian cyst so that it caused one of my ovaries to be removed" Rindi replied with her vibrating tone and teary eyes.
"You who are patient, son, you can definitely pass this ordeal" said Nada while stroking the soft back of Rindi who was wrapped in a hospital shirt.
"Sorry before Ms. Rindi, if my friend says after the removal of one of the ovaries, the possibility of getting pregnant will be difficult huh?" Tiyas asked cautiously afraid of offending Rindi.
"Yes, yesterday I was told by the doctor as well. That's what caused me to go down after hearing it. I am very fond of everything about babies and certainly my hope of having a baby is only a small possibility" replied Rindi with a blank look staring straight at the cot of a baby that has a galaxy that is sleeping.
"Keep why is Madam Rindi even outside the room? Mbak should rest to recover quickly" asked Tiyas again with a look at Rindi's wonder.
Somehow the three women of different ages were easily familiar and did not feel awkward when talking to each other.
"I'm not in my room Ma'am, there is still my ex-fiancee" Rindi replied briefly.
Somehow Rindi told everything about Alfin and Linda to Nada and Tiyas. His heart told him that he was telling the right people. The story continued to flow from Rindi's pale lips, her eyes still blankly staring at the Galactic cot.
Rindi finished the story with tears flowing from both her eyes. Rindi felt so relieved after being able to tell the burden of her own problems.
"You are the strong woman I know Nak, after you were betrayed by them, you still attach great importance to her happiness. Especially with a heavy ordeal when you lose one ovary so that it causes the possibility of having a baby is very small. You can definitely get through this" Nada said by giving a warm hug to Rindi.
There was no more conversation between the three women. The state of silence in the silence of the night, now the clock has shown ten o'clock more.
"I went back to the room first, Mom. Later afraid of being in search of the same family" Pamit Rindi while standing from her seat assisted by Tiyas.
"Yes, thank you Nak Rindi for helping to calm my granddaughter" Nada said with a sweet smile.
"Yes ma'am, you're welcome. It is precisely I who thank you for being allowed to hold the Gala" Reply Rindi.
Before moving out of the room, Rindi walked slowly closer to the Galactic cot. His hand touched the small body wrapped in light blue bedong cloth. The other hand was used to stroke the Galactic forehead with his soft thumb.
"Good sleep baby Gala, don't fuss anymore. Pity Oma as well as Tiyas later" said Rindi slowly but still heard by two people who were sitting on the sofa. After saying that, Rindi kissed the Galactic forehead affectionately.
The tone that saw Rindi's gentle behavior towards her grandson felt moved and lucky to meet the beautiful girl.
Rindi turned around to head towards the main door, previously Tiyas offered to deliver up to Rindi's nursing room due to orders from Nada and inevitably, Rindi could only nod.
The two walked slowly out of the Galactic room with Tiyas helping to land Rindi. One hand Rindi held her stomach which was still a little painful. When it came to the turn of the corridor, the two crossed paths with a man still wearing his office clothes.
"Where are you going? It should be in my son's room, even here" said the man coldly who was now standing right in front of Rindi and Tiyas.
"Sorry Mr. Rafa, Den Galactic Alhamdulillah was able to sleep an hour ago. The madam asked me to take Mbak Rindi back to her room" Tiyas explained with a scared look at Rafa. Rafa looked at Rindi with one eyebrow raised and revealed his dislike as if asking for an explanation from Tiyas.
"So the time of the Fussy Galaxy Den, only Mbak Rindi could calm him down and immediately fell asleep" Tiyas continued by looking at Rindi who was looking down.
"Sorry Sir. if I'm presumptuous. I'm not mak-" Rindi's words were cut off because of Rafa's voice.
"It's okay Miss, I'm very grateful to you" said Rafa in a cold tone. Rafa can see a little of Rindi's face, even though the girl is looking down, Rafa can still see her face. But instead, Rindi was afraid to look at Rafa.
"I'm sorry first, let's sir" said Rindi by bending her body, actually Rindi was afraid of Rafa and passed from before Rafa by being held by Tiyas.
After arriving at Rindi's nursery, Tiyas immediately told her to immediately return to the Galaxy room and was nagged by Rindi after thanking Tiyas.
After opening the door, the first thing she saw was Mama, Papi, Tika, Linda and Alvin who were sitting on the sofa. Linda and Alvin sat next to each other and lowered their heads not daring to look at Rindi.
Tika immediately stood up to Rindi who was standing in front of the door. Brushing his best friend's body to the gurney and helping to remove the footwear and raise Rindi's body to the top of the gurney.
"Where did Rin come from? Do we worry about knowing? It's almost two hours out not back and forth" Tika asked in a row even made Rindi laugh funny.
Johan and Lia who saw Rindi could laugh, in disbelief. Because when he came out of the room, Rindi was still moody. The two walk closer towards the gurney leaving Linda and Alvin still hunched down on the sofa.
Rindi was deliberately not staring at Linda and Alvin. I don't know, Rindi felt so sick of seeing the faces of the two. Rindi seemed not to consider the two lovebirds.
"At first I just wanted to go for a walk, uh no idea of the sound of a crying baby. Yes, I tried to get closer to the room and actually dong Tik, if the baby was again carried by his omana. After I bargained for the baby carrier, uh immediately stopped crying and continued to sleep pules. Tik can hold his baby" Rindi's story enthusiastically and her eyes show a happy twinkle.
Lia and Johan who saw his daughter had returned cheerfully felt very happy. Rindi continued to chatter about the story about the Galaxy and Tone after her meeting earlier as if forgetting all the burdens she had. Tika, Johan and Lia listened intently while sitting on the chairs around the gurney and occasionally they chimed in Rindi's words.
'You have to be strong Rin, this is your decision' said Rindi to encourage her on the decision she had taken.
"Rindi wants to talk seriously Ma , Pi" said Rindi who is now in a serious tone.
"What do you want to say, son?" Johan asked by stroking Rindi's mane gently.
"Married Linda and Alvin" Rindi said firmly.
