Umm Sibyan
Chapter 24. Seeking fellow victims
"Sir?" call Aruna who has now focused all his attention on Mr. Hasan. Hearing a reality if Sinta is the one who has made her child disappear is something that is so astounding. Aruna knew that if Sinta did that it would not be without reason.
"Why, Mommy?"
"Can I take my child back? I don't think I can take everything for granted. I want my son back, sir," Aruna said.
"Nothing is impossible, Ma'am. As a human being, my ability to do so is very limited. However, I did handle a similar case and the baby went back to his mother's stomach after the effort," said Mr. Hasan who made Aruna and Kala immediately straightened his body because he felt interested in the topic of his conversation this time.
"What did you do, sir?" kala asked so curious.
"I don't know because Mom didn't want to say it and I didn't want to force it. However, he told me if the business he was living did not go out of religious lines. He held fast to the principle of life that God has set between what is forbidden and allowed," obviously Mr. Hasan again that makes Aruna curious and want to know who a mother who has done such a big thing.
"May I meet the figure of the mother, sir? I want to ask him directly maybe he wants to tell me how after I tell the story that I have experienced turned out to be similar to what he experienced? May I request her home address?" Aruna didn't want to waste her time for too long. He had to act immediately before his son would actually leave and would not return again.
"alright. I'll tell you his address. Hopefully, it can help you." Mr. Hasan also moved from his seat and entered into a room that might be a room. Not long after, he returned with a piece of paper and handed it to Aruna.
"The address I know of is here. Please come to this house and hopefully you can meet with him," Mr. Hasan told Aruna.
"My message, you guys don't get out of the truth somehow. Because I am sure, there will be many people who may come and offer through the path of ignorance. Leave everything to God after what you have worked for because it is the Best reception" said Mr. Hasan gave advice to Aruna and Kala.
"Of course, sir. Thank you for helping. Well, then, we're saying goodbye first, sir. Sorry for interrupting Mr. Hasan's time, too." Then, Aruna and Kala also say goodbye to go home because they have to find the address that Mr. Hasan has given. On the way, Kala also remembered something about Mr. Hasan who had given him a warning about Sinta.
"Oh yes, Yang. After his mother died, Mr. Hasan once said that he had a bad feeling to Sinta. When I asked more clearly, Mr. Hasan did not want to say the reason because his vision was still vague," said Kala at length who made Aruna look at her husband with a look of a surprised face.
"Why did you just say it, Mom?" asked Aruna slightly raised her voice because she felt that Kala had covered such a big secret.
"I'm sorry" said Kala.
Aruna exhaled violently and leaned her shoulders on the steering wheel to win her own thoughts. "Mass? I don't know why, I was surprised because Sinta was suddenly pregnant and had been walking for four months," said Aruna along with Kala who was stepping on the car brake because the traffic light was on red.
"Four months?" tanya Kala did not believe it either. Then, Aruna and Kala also threw gazes at each other as if talking through telepathy.
Aruna also began to connect Sinta's return too suddenly and chose to be in the same housing with his home. Not to mention the talk of mothers when Aruna and her mother were buying vegetables until Sinta who so often visited her home. Aruna also observed that Sinta's body did not show someone who was pregnant at all.
"Yes. Our minds are the same, Mom. I want to immediately meet the figure of the pregnant woman referred to by Mr. Hasan, Mas. I will also investigate Sinta's pregnancy because in a few days we have to attend her four-monthly pregnancy event. I don't want to be so bad, but I also don't want to think too positively about him regardless of his status as a close friend of mine. After all, he was also suspect." Aruna spoke at length which made Kala nod her head confirming the remark.

Since then, Sinta did not stop reviewing the smile because her husband who did not want to move from stroking his stomach that began to bulge. She is happy because finally, Bowo canceled his intention to remarry after finding out if she was pregnant.
"Eventually something I've been waiting for has been present in your womb. I'm so happy. Thank you for trying so hard to conceive my son" Bowo said with a bright twinkle in his eyes.
"Together, Mas. Whatever I do to get pregnant. I was so impatient to wait for the four-monthly celebration day of my pregnancy," Sinta and Bowo replied re-enforcing her body with eyes that looked at Sinta deeply.
"Why look at me like that, Mom? Is there something wrong with my appearance?" tanya Sinta felt insecure because she was stared so deeply by her husband.
"No. I'm just wondering if you've learned anything about Aruna suddenly losing her baby?" The question from Bowo also managed to make Sinta choke on her own saliva until she coughed and made Bowo panic and immediately shoo a glass of water for his wife.
"Why? You surprised? Do you not know that yet? Sorry if the news surprised you too much" said Bowo felt guilty and thought that Sinta did not know if Aruna had just lost her child.
"Gosh, Mas. I don't know about the news. Lost because of a miscarriage?" tanya Sinta pretended to be plain.
"No. Aruna lost her baby suddenly. In the evening he came out of the house and was found unconscious in the yard with a flat stomach condition," said Bowo who made Sinta's palms immediately break out in cold sweat.
Sinta swallowed her saliva with great difficulty to answer the question from Bowo. However, he tried to regain control of himself and answered him as if he knew nothing. "How did that happen, Mom? That sounds absurd," replied Sinta feigned astonishment.
