My Maid And I
MOO part 31. Salimah Cemetery
The sky is cloudy, the sun does not show itself in the morning. Nature seemed to agree to accompany him and knew that his heart was in mourning.
People have returned to their homes. Jono and his mother and sister. Do not forget also the tiny baby in the sling of the mother.
Jono stared at the navel of the wife who had just finished stockpiling with the ground. His eyes were red and swollen. Although he was a man, he could not bear his sorrow. He lost it a second time.
Although he felt a deep disappointment towards his wife, but he still thought logically. That he was there to accompany when he was in the slump.
Jono felt the void return. Feel that loss back. Eight months he lived with Salimah. Doesn't make Jono not love Salimah. Even though the woman deliberately set him up, she remains grateful because she feels not alone when she experiences adversity.
Jono sprinkled flowers on the new ground for the last time. Jono looked at the name of the wife on the wood with regret. He could not meet his wife again. Jono was only able to pray that his wife would be received by God's side. And God forgives his sins.
"Son..your son cried.." the voice of Ms. Ratmi the mother broke Jono's daydream. He quickly got up and took the little baby into his arms.
"Oh.. baby... Let's see mom. We say goodbye to mom. " muttered Jono while holding a baby he named Salina S Putri Raharjo.
Jono carried his daughter closer to the navel of the wife. However, he had already fallen in love with the tiny baby. Since she received the baby for her adzan ni.
"Sal.. This is our daughter. Although it is not my flesh and blood, I will love her like my own child. I know who his father is. And I will tell him when he is able to accept reality. But one day he deserves to know. I named her Salina S(Stanly) Princess Raharjo... However, it was born in our marriage. I as the head of the household have the right to give her my last name. I'm sorry, but I still give you a part of that guy's name. To remind me not to curb it too much someday. Calm down in nature... I will love and care for him like my own son. In accordance with my promise... " Jono's Promise.
"Mom... Joko.. let's go home in a moment it will rain. It's not good for my mother's health nor is it good for my daughter." Jono tells her.
Miss Ratmi and Joko nodded. They left the public cemetery in the village on foot to the highway. Father continued Jono waiting on the highway after driving his family troupe who came to serve.
"Mas... Don't divorce me... I'm innocent mas. I didn't kill our baby mas... Really am... " Yuni pleaded with her husband. She sat down in front of her husband after he got the news that the baby she was born with had died.
He fell in the bathroom as he was about to get out of there. He slipped and caused bleeding when the woman was only 7 months old. She does not want to have to give birth to a premature baby. After 5 days in the intensive care room, the baby was still unable to survive.
Yuni is married to the man who is the son of the boss where she worked eight months ago. They got married because Yuni was trapped by one of her coworkers. The other is Wiwik. The man hated Yuni for thinking that the woman had planned the trap of becoming a mistress in his house.
For almost 8 months, they lived a domestic life. There was no sympathy or empathy for the man towards Yuni. In fact, the man often did not return home. Yuni was alone with her daughter who was already sitting in the 5th grade Elementary School every day.
His sadness was when he heard the insults and insults he had daily for nearly eight months of living with the man who was supposed to be his leader as well as his self-commanders.
Right now, Yuni was only resigned and would not beg for love from the man anymore. After the man looked at him and left the place, he sat in the waiting chair accompanied by the child. Eka Saputri's. His love for his first husband.
He was waiting for the baby he would bring home to be buried in his hometown. He will not return to the house of the husband ah errat ex-husband. He will live in his village again and will start all over again.
After paying the administration at the hospital that is quite draining pockets. Yuni accompanied her daughter back to her hometown to her parents by taxi. He lied to the taxi driver if the baby was fast asleep.
He did not have enough money to pay for the hospital's ambulance to get them back to his hometown.
Three days after Salimah's funeral, Salina cried incessantly. The little baby did not want to drink the formula he used to drink.
At that moment, Yuni came to serve Jono's house. He saw a baby crying in the arms of his mother Jono. Curious, Yuni approached her friend's former mother-in-law.
"Why is the baby, Mom...?"yuni asked Ms. Ratmi.
"She was crying and she didn't want to drink the formula she used to drink... From this morning until I was confused how to..."
ms. Ratmi replied with a smile looking at Yuni.
"May I carry Mom...?" yuni's permission expectantly.
"Can..." Bu Ratmi gives the baby in her sling to Yuni.
"Yes ... Allah... You are so beautiful sweet baby...what is her name, Mom...?" yuni asked Ms. Ratmi. Bu Ratmi stared at the happy twinkle in Yuni's eyes .
"The name is Salina." replied Ms. Ratmi.
"A name as beautiful as her person.." muttered Yuni.
"Hello... Salina..this aunt.aunty is a good friend of your mother... " Yuni brought the little baby into conversation. And her magic. The baby responded and was silent for a moment from his crying.
After chatting and telling a long story about her domestic life and her dead baby, Yuni decided to give her breast milk to Salina. And she would come every day to breastfeed the baby.
Ms. Ratmi was grateful that someone could breastfeed her granddaughter. And she would easily quickly return to her husband's house in the neighboring village.
Jono who heard Ms. Ratmi was humming sholawat, he approached the mother who was carrying her daughter.
"Mom... Salina's asleep...?" ask Jono.
Ms. Ratmi nodded with a smile.
"Would you sleep well... has run out of milk, ma'am...?" Jono stroked his daughter's cheek gently.
" He drank ASI." replied Ms. Ratmi.
"ASI has who Mom.... in this area is it rare for people to have a baby Mom...?" jono asked curiously.
" Your guest was his friend Salimah and your ex-wife Sarmina. If it's not wrong, Yuni " replied Ms. Ratmi.
" She just lost her baby.and her husband just divorced her after her baby was pronounced dead... After hitting the hammer.he is officially a widow.is this possible God's way to make Salina have another mother..." Ms. Ratmi is enthusiastic.
"Mom..don't fret..." Jono dismissed his mother's assumption.
" But it could be a son .. It's God's plan for you..." Ms. Ratmi doesn't want to lose.
"Either... Ma'am... Jono doesn't know either." Jono replies while taking over his daughter.
