The Babysitter Belongs to the Duda
Alice's Search

The phone number from Alice has repeatedly tried to contact Andre, but only the operator who answered. Even Papa Reza had asked hackers for help to track Alice's whereabouts through her mobile number, but the last time the sim card was used was right in the alley of her home. This is difficult, but Papa Reza asked them to track through email and other social media belonging to the woman.

"Patience, Ndre. We can definitely find them. After all, they will not be able to go far because papa directly contacted papa friends who work at the station, terminal, terminal, and the airport is near here to report that there is a woman named Alice to inform us immediately" said Papa Reza while patting his son's shoulder.

Papa Reza was busy with his cellphone to contact his friends to immediately contact him if there is the name of Alice in the passenger list traveling out of town or abroad. He will never be silent if anyone dares to harass his family, especially his children and grandchildren.

Andre nodded his head understanding his papa's words. At a time like this it feels like his brain is dead end, lucky there is the papa who swiftly helps him overcome everything. Andre and Papa Reza decided to get in the car and drive him to the office.

"It looks like we can't go on public transport, surely Andre and his family are hunting us" Alice said in a slight panic.

Alice and her family are resting in an area near the beach. It has been almost an hour they surround the city by motorbike to avoid the pursuit of Andre and his family. After leaving his house, they immediately looked for a place to hide.

"You are also careless, it is delicious to have income from Alice's work in Andre's office and even make trouble with him" said Papa Dion.

"We didn't intentionally, either, pa. Push Andre's wife until the bleeding" said Mama Farida did not accept.

Papa Dion could only shake his head at the stubbornness of his son and his wife. From the first, his wife was very difficult to tell when clearly what she did was wrong. Now when it hits the stone, don't take the blame.

"It is better to go to a small area on a motorcycle. I'm sure that Andre won't be able to find us there, and they'll focus on the station, the terminal, or the airport" Alice said, stopping the debate between her parents.

"Aren't you guys just going to apologize to Andre's family? Who knows if they forgive you then we can live a normal life as usual. As long as you stop interrupting their lives" Papa Dion suggested.

"Religion... Not that we live quietly, but instead live in prison" said Mama Farida.

Finally, Papa Dion resigned when he heard the decision of his wife and child. The three immediately rode back on a motorcycle to find a temporary place to stay. The residence is believed to be able to hide them from the pursuit of Andre and his family.

"Anol by macuk ndak to nature? Abol want ium unda bial fast awang ayak clita ongeng putli tidul" asked Arnold innocently to Mama Anisa, Deno's father, and Ratmi's mother.

Mama Anisa, Deno's father, and Ratmi's mother who heard such a innocent look from Arnold was immediately sad. His three grandchildren were so hopeful that the mother could soon wake up from her long sleep and play with them with her little sister. The development of the baby boys Nadia and Andre who have not been named has also stabilized. After observation, all conditions were excellent.

"Little children can't go inside. So we do'ain mother from outside aja yes" said Mama Anisa while stroking Arnold round cheeks.

"Talo poured, endong Anol. Anold wants to look at the glass intuition" said Arnold.

Deno's father nodded his head then held Arnold and brought him closer to the ICU room door. Arnold just put his tiny hand on the glass door while rubbing it slowly as if it was the face of his mother.

"Unda, dek ayi cudah lahil you know. Cekalang Anol dah adi bang, eman unda ndak want to see? Dek ayi cudah bica capa, themalin Anol yan ajalin. Is it Anol?" said Arnold chattering.

Arnold's babble made the adults who heard it instantly feel sliced open. Even Mama Anisa has shed her tears because she saw Arnold who threw a joke in the middle of her sadness. Anara and Abel came closer to the glass door with the help of Mama Anisa who gave a chair to see the mother.

"Mother has promised if you want to take the school and bacain fairy tale every day, why now even sleep mulu anyway? Mother is not fun ah" said Anara while pursing her lips.

"Mother, get up quickly so we can play with the baby together" said Abel while wiping tears that suddenly came out of the corner of his eyes with the back of his hand.

"Let's go, awun don. Anol ubit nih talo ndak awun-angun" said Arnold with a little threatening.

"We love you" exclaimed Abel and Arnold who then got off the chair.

Abel and Anara ran to her grandmothers and hugged her tightly. Both of them could not hide their cries after talking to Nadia who was just silent.

"Liat... Kak Bel and Kak Nala, nanis kalna unda ndak awun-angun. Let's get up to unda" cried Arnold while shaking his waist.

Deno's father could only chuckle softly even though the corner of his eyes was already wet. Deno's father immediately hugged Arnold who was held by him affectionately and then lowered him. Arnold immediately ran towards his two brothers and hugged the two who were still crying.

"With angis, ental unda sad you know" said Arnold while rubbing the shoulders of his two brothers.

"Mother don't want to wake up, we are sad" Anara said after releasing her embrace.

"Why do'a. Angis will not be able to heal" Arnold warned.

Anara and Abel nodded their heads in understanding then wiped off the rough tears with both hands. The three of them finally sat quietly even when spoken to did not answer. But judging from the look on his face, they are now praying so they do not want to be disturbed.

Hearing the compactness of his three grandchildren, Mama Anisa, Ratmi's mother, and Deno's father were so moved. At a time like this is what is needed to give spirit in order to live life well.
