A four-day search for an abortion clinic on the island of Borneo on the sidelines of her work has yielded no results. It was once best to have an abortion in countries that legalized it such as the Netherlands or Singapore. But how do they ask their parents for permission? Felix may be allowed to leave the country on holiday grounds. But the odd semester break is still a few months away. While Lira will definitely not be allowed by her mother.
Maybe asking for help with an unknown adult is the solution. Talking about a big burden on a stranger doesn't seem bad. They don't know Felix and won't be disappointed knowing everything.
One day after returning from the island of Kaltim, Felix chose to take a walk to an area far from his home. There he met some motorcycle taxi drivers and without a second thought Felix tried to chat with one of them named Mr. Ruslan.
"Sir, it's been a while?"
"Yes. Where are you going?"
"Sir, my car is right over there." Felix replied pointing his chin at the black SUV parked in front of Betamidi.
Mr. Ruslan nodded in understanding, continuing his activity sipping in his cigarette.
"Sir," Felix said again doubtfully.
"Why!?" The answer is not relaxed.
"Can I ask you a favor?"
"Seek what!?" Also again.
"Find me an abortion clinic. I'll pay 500,000."
"Hahahahaha, how can you be cheated." The motorcycle taxi driver's mood suddenly changed which left Felix astonished.
"Now there are many rich young people. If anyone asks me for help, I will help you."
"How Sir?"
"Here come with me, I show you directly the place, which I know there are two in this area. A few months ago I also sent a girl there."
Bond with Felix with Mr. Ruslan, on the way they do not talk much.
The motorway began to swallow as it passed through the first clinic, "That's the bluish white." Said Mr. Ruslam.
Felix nodded his head while marking the online map on his HP.
"Now we go to second place."
About 15 minutes later, Mr. Ruslan's motorbike slowed down again, "Well that one too, that wooden house."
Now he stops his bike right in front of the place so Felix can look around for longer. "How about you, all I know are two."
"Yes sir, we'll just go back if that's the case," they went back to the ojek base.
"So much, sir. This is sir" Felix said, offering the money he had promised at the beginning.
"Yes alike. If someone else I ask 700 thousand for money keep your mouth shut. But no papa for Masnya I ask 500 thousand aja."
In retrospect, Mr. Ruslan did not know Felix's name, Felix also wore a mask and a hat. Then how could Mr. Ruslan spread his identity. But even so he still gave again Mr. Ruslan in accordance with the wishes implied from his words.
"This sir I added 200 thousand."
"Well, thank you, if you need help, I often stay here."
"Yes Sir. Thanks again Sir. Excuse me first." Felix said passed from the place.
"Yes, we are both." Reply Mr. Ruslan raised one hand.

Today is Saturday, at half-eight in the morning Felix has already picked up Lira. After planning it and each other agreed, then here they are, in the abortion clinic whose front building is painted whitish blue. There was already someone else waiting, a girl who seemed to be together with her complete family, father and mother.
The clinic is not open yet, maybe soon because it is 8 past 7 minutes.
Don't ask how Lira is right now. His body trembled, his legs could not stand still, his hands were clinging to each other busy warming each other, his breathing was choked. Really he was afraid, this clinic is more like a house that was not taken care of for a long time, the paint is blue but faded so whitish, on the ceiling of the terrace there are many cobwebs. Everything he saw right now was inversely proportional to his expectations."Is this really the clinic?" Benak Lira's.
While Felix, the man was also as scared as Lira. He kept breathing deeply. His hands were cold, occasionally he glanced at Lira.
A few minutes later the 'closed' behind the glass door of the clinic was changed to 'open'. The sound of the door being opened was heard in their ears.
A woman who may be the nurse of the clinic opened a little door and said, "Please come in, sorry to have you waiting."
The girl who was with her family immediately entered without hesitation. That smile? Why is there no fear at all? Is it possible because he was cut down by his father and mother?
While Felix and Lira are still sitting on the spot. They stared at each other, trying to find disdain for each other.
"Ra..ayo." Felix finally asked. This time he thoughtlessly held the woman's hand.
When entering the room, the fishy smell was stinging, they were sure that the waist-high trash can that was right next to the practice room was the source of the smell.
It was not long before the sisters came out of the practice room and asked them to register.
Felix hesitantly nodded.
"This please filled according to KTP." The woman's intrusion while thrusting forms into Felix and Lira.
"What age is it, Mommy?"
"Nearly three months? Might as well. I'm not sure." replied Lira
"How much does it cost?" Ask again, while his hand politely leads to a browser that reads the price list and description. Fluently and clearly the nurse explained more deeply than every kind of service available.
- Local anesthetic and non-disposable cleaning devices (Rp 1,900,000)
- Imported anesthetic and non-disposable cleaning tools (Rp 2,700,000)
- Local anesthetic and disposable cleaning devices (Rp 3,700,000)
- Imported anesthetic and disposable sanitary ware (Rp 4,700,000)
"Pay now?" ask Felix.
"Please."
"This." said Felix while giving money of four million seven hundred thousand.
"Thank you I count first."
After the money was counted on the money machine, the nurse said, "Please wait, it's your turn to finish the patient."

The two teenagers waited patiently, but until 11 the first patient had not come out.
"At this hour why hasn't my child been sober?!" Mother's Voice from within.
Hearing that Felix and Lira looked at each other with a feeling of dismay.
"The blood keeps coming out." This time a man spoke.
"Propay Sir. His doctor's trying to resuscitate the patient." The nurse said calmly.
"Felix.I'm scared." Said Lira, her shoulders shaking.
"Gue is also Ra.but, here we are halfway." Felix's voice sounded like it was shaking.
Their eyes met each other, wanting to run away from this place but want how else.
"Why in this rich time the same affection of the fetus appears?"
BRACKET
"Our business is not finished! I'm definitely here again to give my money back!" Said the patient's father on the lip of the door that was in his notoriety violently while holding the weak body of his child.
"If my son is to die the doctor must take responsibility!" The mother walked in a hurry following her husband so that he accidentally or perhaps deliberately nudged the only garbage can in the room.
It made the contents scatter on the floor like blood clots, there were also white-white ones like eyeballs.
It happened right before their eyes. Lira suddenly vomited, Felix was busy holding his breath to avoid the fishy smell that penetrated his mask.
Realizing that things were not okay, Felix immediately pulled Lira's hand to get out of the clinic to the car and leave immediately.
In the car that had stopped by the side of the road, Lira cried. Occasionally rubbing and pulling her hair rough, "The woman was not aware of Lix, I was afraid to be rich! I'm afraid to die! I believe in you! but you're taking me to that rich clinic!" Rampage.
Felix who was sitting on the steering wheel was silent while rubbing his face rough.
"In the garbage can is the fetus they killed." Lirih.
The event of the scattering of fetal waste was clearly recorded in his memory. He also knew exactly how scared Lira was. He who will not face abortion alone is very afraid especially Lira.
Felix is unable to see the current state of the Lira. As long as he knew the girl, only this time he saw the angry and frustrated Lira. The girl hit her stomach.
"Silence Ra..." Pinta Felix held Lira's hand against hurting herself.
Finally after two hours passed, Lira's cries began to subside, but this time she was vomiting, her head was dizzy from crying for too long. His face was red, his eyes were swollen.
"Ra, I, don't want your fetus in the womb to be trash too." Felix said in a trembling voice and teary eyes.
