The Babysitter Belongs to the Duda
Arrival of Andre


Nadia is confused looking for answers to Arnold's questions. While the boy was staring so curiously at Nadia. The mothers who heard Arnold's words instantly shut their mouths. They shouldn't say anything that might be sensitive to a child.


"Unda.." call Arnold for an answer.


"Papa is not hurt. Papa is fine and will definitely be back soon. Arnod continues to pray, yes, God, so that Papa Andre will return home immediately" said Nadia by holding back her tears.


"Ukanna papa reload this?" arnold asked in surprise.


"Papa is not sure when to go home because there is still a lot of work. If the job is done, papa will be home soon. So Arnold must be patient and continue to pray for papa" said Nadia with a soft smile.


Arnold nodded his head then hugged Nadia tightly. Arnold felt that something was being hidden by the mother and for a while the little boy could not figure it out. But he understood that his mother was hiding something for the good of everyone.


Nadia gave a code to the guardians of the students not to discuss about the accident that befell Andre by saying without a voice. Everyone finally nodded their heads in understanding and discussed other things.

After getting approval letters from hospitals and police. Papa Reza immediately took care of all the administration regarding Andre's move to the hospital in the city where he lived. Luckily all of Andre's maintenance costs were covered by accident insurance. Papa Reza returned to the ICU room to meet his wife who was still sitting while looking at the door of the room.


"Ma.." call Papa Reza to surprise Mama Anisa.


"Where, pa?" ask Mama Anisa quickly.


"Don't daydream. We are trying tonight to transfer Andre to a hospital near the house" said Papa Reza.


Mama Anisa only smiled her thin smile in response to Papa Reza's words. He turned his eyes back to the door of the ICU room with his heart. Papa Reza who saw it could only hug his wife who came back crying in his arms.


"Andre must be fine, ma. We continue to pray that Andre is strong in facing this test and we are given patience to take care of our children later" said Papa Reza.


Mama Anisa nodded her head while continuing to hug her husband. He is very fragile at this time to see the condition of his son like this. He still could not imagine if he would meet his three grandchildren.

By nightfall, the hospital informed him that Andre could be transferred immediately. Both parents are ready, their car will follow from behind the ambuance with two police escorted. When removed from the ICU room, Mama Anisa can only cover her mouth with both hands because she can see Andre more clearly. It turns out that when viewed up close, the wounds that Andre gets are very much, especially in the abdomen and face. Papa Reza hasn't told his wife about the doctor's explanation this afternoon.


"Later papa explained when he reached the hospital in our city, ma. All of us talk to Nadia as well" said Papa Reza.


Mama Anisa just nodded her head to understand even though her heart had become unsettled. It seemed like something was going to shock her later if she found out. The two follow Andre's gurney driven by several nurses. Then put it in the ambulance. Once everything was ready, they all set off at medium speed so as not to have another accident.

After traveling for almost 6 hours, they finally arrived at the destination hospital. They arrived at exactly 1am. Papa Reza immediately took care of everything with Mama Anisa who went straight to an ICU room that had been prepared before their arrival.


Shortly before sitting in front of the ICU room, Nadia came along with the arrival of Papa Reza. Indeed, Papa Reza decided to contact the girl who turned out Nadia immediately rushed to the hospital after getting news from the middle-aged man. For the three little boys are currently sleeping in Nadia's rented accompanied by the parents of the girl.


"Nadia.." cried Mama Anisa.


The two hugged each other and cried together given Andre's condition. If in front of Anara, Abel, and Arnold they try to be strong, but here both show their weak sides. Nadia let go of her embrace and walked towards the door of the ICU room. He peered at a glimpse of how Andre was lying weakly there making tears continue to fall on his cheeks.


Papa Reza explained about Andre's condition in accordance with what the doctor said last afternoon. The two women of different ages could only sit lethargic with their blank stares when they heard what Papa Reza said. The three were silent after they finished telling and listening about Andre's condition, only a sobbing of tears was still heard.


"Nadia, once you find out about Andre's condition. Do you still want to go with him?" ask Papa Reza.


"The face is partly ugly if it does not do plastic surgery, wrists that may not be strong to carry you, and both legs that may not be able to walk normally like other men. Do you still want imperfect men like my son?" continued.


Mama Anisa who heard the question from Papa Reza of course could only hold back her sobs. It seems like he has also resigned if later Nadia will leave her son and three grandchildren. Nadia was silent for a while because she was surprised by the question posed by Papa Reza.


"Jawab be honest, Nad. If you really want to leave Andre, we understand that because he cannot possibly live a normal life like yesterday" said Mama Anisa with teary eyes.


"Until now I will not leave Andre and his three children. I love him with all his advantages and disadvantages, until whenever it will be like that. I don't care about the talk of people who later judge me stupid for sticking with Andre. Those who do not know that behind his shortcomings, Andre has many advantages that make me fall in love. That sincere heart is an advantage that rarely others have" said Nadia with sincerity.


"Thank you... Thank you for staying by the aunt's side. Hopefully the strength of your love after this exam will be stronger" said Mama Anisa then hugged her husband who was beside her.


Nadia just nodded her head and then looked back into the ICU.


"I will be your hands and feet in every step you take. I was lucky with the shape of your face now because maybe after this no woman will admire you and take you from my side" Nadia said with a smile.
