Nadia, The Indigo Girl
CHAPTER 41
Tonight Nadia went to the balcony of her house to enjoy the night breeze that seemed like it was going to rain, he held on to the iron boundary because his side house was next to the water channel that connected him with ciliwung times making neighbors around his house often entered animals ciliwung times, such as lizards, small crocodiles, snakes, and other animals, et cetera.
Nadia tonight wearing red pajamas with a mickey mouse she watched the sky with the clouds remembering her father's message.
“Nadia you're an adult when Dad leaves
you take care of my mother, Defani, as well as our other brothers. I am sure Allah SWT has its own path for you as long as you know that you are special even yourself do not know what is special in you.” After that the father kissed Nadia's forehead.
The girl wearing red pajamas closed her eyes while holding the metal necklace she bought while on vacation to the old city a few months ago, she exhaled then her eyes stared at the dark clouds of night.
‘Gua is ready to get into the problem facing.’ The gum in his heart reddened because it was too strong to hold the necklace pendant with the letter N.
Nadia's eyes looked down from the direction of the aqueduct there was a shadow slumping like a Japanese ninja and very fast like the wind.
‘Apaan again tuh.’ Inner Nadia with a sense of indifference she chose to enter the house and close the balcony door.
He involuntarily scratched the part of his itchy head and combed his hair with his fingers as several strands of hair fell out and fell to the floor.
Since grade 8 or 2 MTS/SMP Nadia's hair began to fall out and every day at least once she had to collect her hair.
He remembers the class of 7 Junior High as well he once cut his fingernails and feet when in a short stay wanted to take a tissue to put his clipped nails suddenly his nail piece disappeared itself in at that time Nadia was confused to look for him in the entire room area.
As a modern girl Nadia tried to think of a sensible thing it might just be blown away. Nadia went to the bathroom to brush her teeth, wash her face and wudhu for prayers.
After the prayer Nadia began to comb her hair facing the mirror some strands of hair fall and fall to the floor, because it was too sleepy Nadia decided to clean her hair tomorrow only. He decided to sleep.
A heavy yellow-skinned hand picked up Nadia's hair loss strewn across the floor, it has been confirmed that he is a man vaguely wearing keraton-style or colossal clothes suddenly changed his form into a lizard and disappeared.
Nadia let out a spirit from inside her body walking through the time of the multiples as if a clockwork sound was heard until she woke up after passing through the time vortex.
She woke up in a padded four-pole mattress reaching to the side and did not find her husband he woke up and panicked. Then he remembered that Hanson had not come home for two days so he decided to take a shower and prepare to meet Miss Eva to walk in the morning air.
This morning Nadia wore a cream dress with a white withered collar on her neck area The length of her dress is knee-length and there are three buttons in front of her, accompanied by black rope between the collar is very fast when tied ribbon.
...⌐╦╦═─⌐╦╦═─⌐╦╦═─⌐╦╦═─⌐╦╦═─⌐╦╦═─...
After finishing Nadia chose to style her hair with a midget style, after neatly wearing a white hat and then wearing black sandals shoes as matching footwear.
Nadia and Eva take a walk in the morning air Buitenzorg very beautiful, Eva this morning wearing a green dress with Long sleeves with a style of widened wrists, plus a hat jarring-netting color matching, the same, black stocking did not forget as a sweetener look.
“Eva let's go to that restaurant.” Appoint Nadia for breakfast Eva who is carrying her pet dog and place it outside the restaurant.
They had breakfast together while chatting, after they finished leaving the restaurant. Eva carried her dog with a leash, when passing the Eva and Nadia road was astonished because many military cars filled with soldiers passing on the highway in front of the restaurant is not as usual unless there is a commotion and officials passing by.
Eva and Nadia looked at each other in surprise. People on the street also stopped to look at the passing cars. “What is this? god protect Husband and Papaku.” Eva said in a quiet voice that only Nadia could hear.
“Yes protect my Husband.” Nadia said as she stroked her stomach slowly begging the power to protect her husband because she did not want her future child to suffer the fate of being an orphan left by the father was very sick as if losing half deep himself.
“Yes lord!!” the sound of Eva rising up made people around see the woman wearing the hat-netting.
“Nadia I remember Jason! ik must go to school ik.” Before Eva rushed off she held onto both of Nadia's shoulders and her lips were polished a striking red lipstick.
“Nadia quickly and go home now, it looks like there will be a riot.” After that Eva leaves Nadia and goes to her son's school.
Nadia wondered what this is why this age is so strange her mixed feelings do not know what to do, he said, when he wanted to go home the girl in a beige dress turned her body back he saw a group of natives dressed in shabby clothes walking in crowds and in his hands carrying weapons such as a cleaver and a kind of hand knife.
Nadia was breathing heavily she decided to hide behind a big barrel near the restaurant, the girl became afraid when the natives who were average men suddenly threw the glass of the restaurant makes the visitors out running in fear and mercilessly the natives finish off the white people no matter woman or man.
Nadia was shocked to see that not only the restaurant owned by the Dutch but all the shops owned by Chinese merchants were also destroyed, as well as the native traders gathered their wares and immediately left behind a raging time of hardship in the damping.
“Hanson where are you? I'm scared?” Nadia is still faithfully hiding behind the barrel, although her right hand and temple were slightly scratched with blood due to broken glass from the restaurant she visited earlier with Eva.
His right hand continued to stroke his stomach he had promised his parents-in-law to protect this baby, he saw cars and then came down the soldiers in Dutch and there were mixed faces. things are not getting quieter but chaotic. Nadia immediately ran and came out of the barrel to go home, her hands holding her stomach while accelerating her footsteps.
Fortunately, Nadia came out at the right time when the restaurant wanted to be burned. While walking his body collided with someone because he was not focused without wanting to pay attention more clearly, when he looked at who was hit turned out____Endah. he wore a simple brown kebaya and matching batik cloth, he also let his hair down with black clasps decorate his hair, while carrying his merchandise in the form of fruits.
“Sorry, Non I accidentally.” He said while picking up his merchandise even though there were already some who were trampled by people running in fear.
“Endah!!” Nadia. The brown woman was shocked but in this situation she had to focus on her trade.
“Sorry Mon we don't know each other.” After he finished picking up his fallen merchandise, the woman immediately ran over.
Nadia was still daydreaming and she became overwhelmed when some people hit her almost to make her fall, she almost forgot to protect her future child.
The girl continued to run while in front of the settlement where the Dutch soldiers she lived with her husband, in front was also heavily guarded by Europeans in military uniforms.
“OP!! OP.” One of the soldiers stopped Nadia.
“I'm wife of lieutenant van buthjer.” I am Nadia who still faithfully holds her stomach, there are some people in uniform that do not believe.
“Don't touch me!! How dare you!!” debrak angry Nadia when the Dutch soldiers are less taught to him while slapping one of them.
One of the men who had been slapped Nadia instead hit Nadia to fall, before long Hanson's friend saw the commotion, namely lieutenant Dedrick saw Nadia persecuted by his men and immediately ran.
“Stop!” dedrick's orders made the three men in uniform salute his friend Hanson. He spoke Dutch, which Nadia could hardly understand, and was helped by a white man in uniform who was escorting Dedrick.
“Je okay?” ask Dedrick.
Nadia shakes her head the sign represents the answer her two hands are still faithfully holding her stomach.
“Lieutenant Dedrick veleuston please mevrouw van derhoof!! he is picking up his son,” said Nadia in a panic because of pregnancy hormones.
“Yes god!! his wife Colonel Van Derhoof.” Dedrick panicked as well.
“Of course, please Lieutenant save Mrs Van Derhoof!” nadia said in panic
Nadia walked into the settlement where she saw the military houses of the Dutch people locked tightly, he said, Nadia also continued to walk while faithfully holding her stomach with both hands behind her as well as in the guard of 3 men in uniform who had dared to be less alert to her.
Arriving in front of the gate of the house he was approached by Sarto.
"Mrs Nadia!! thankfully, Mevrouw Anna is inside and very worried.” Said Sarto as he opened the gate and closed it, Nadia immediately ran into the house and found her in-laws being restrained by doctor Stefania and a girl like Hanson 3 years older than her also shooed her in-laws.
“Mama!” nadia said while taking off the hat from her head.
“ASTAGA!! Nadia!!” said Anna enthusiastically who immediately ran to hug Nadia.
“Je okay?!” anna wiped away her tears, the scene was witnessed with two European girls behind her.
“Oh leez mijn liefste!!” Anna was immediately moved to her forehead and her hand was injured.
“Je bent gekwetst!!” said Anna who saw the wound.
Sontak Stefania approached Nadia and led the girl to a couch to treat her, and the girl Nadia did not know like Hanson was sitting next to her.
“What's your name?” said Nadia Friendly, “Mijn naam Brechtje,” he said.
“Je must be surprised, ik is his younger brother Hanson. Indeed, when Hanson's wedding day was absent, because at that time Ik was graduating from college.” Evidently.
Nadia smiled at the smile she noticed her sister-in-law was very graceful and dressed fashionably at that time, she wears a white shirt along with lace on both the right and left sides with a red ribbon in the middle of her collar, and a simple brown plaid skirt.
He also noticed that his face resembled Hanson's eyes were blue and his hair was unraveling long as it was blonde along with curls underneath.
“Nadia...Hello!!” brechtje suddenly broke her daydream by waving her hand in front of Nadia's face.
“Nadia, Mama called je?” Nadia looked back and saw her mother-in-law sitting on the sofa next to Stefania who was treating her wounds.
“Je break in room, this abis. Ik will tell Ratih to bring a food tray for je.” Nadia smiled awkwardly at her mother-in-law who sometimes acted motherly and sometimes behaved fiercely.
Nadia went up the stairs to her room and she put her hat on a wooden hanger that had been prepared and laid herself on the mattress while staring at the ceiling of the room, I don't know why he missed Hanson.
He closed his eyes while recalling the time with Hanson shortly Ratih entered the room that was deliberately the door was not in the key, The glasses brought a tray.
“This, Nyi. In the first meal and milk drunk kasian jabang baby.” Nadia smiled as she thanked Ratih.
“Oudah I excuse me.” Reach out by bending out of the room.
The girl in a beige dress picked up nuts and eggs in a tray beside the Mattress on a wooden table, and, he had just put it in his mouth but the nausea suddenly spread made him inevitably vomit his stomach in the bathroom. UEX...UEXES.
“Yeah, Nadia!!” Brechtje who happened to pass by wanted to enter the room heard Nadia nauseous.
“Je must rest,” Say Brechtje.
“I don't want to eat that, because it makes me nauseous.” Nadia.
“What food? who Mama gave to je?” asked the curious Brechtje to walk out of the bathroom to look at the contents of the food tray on the wooden table beside the bed and of course angrily the Dutch girl came out of the room that was occupied by Brother and Sister his brother-in-law, I don't know where he's going.
“Ratihi!! Please make me warm tea!” nadia orders after the departure of her sister-in-law out of the room. Ratih answered well Madam.
Nadia lay down on her mattress with a slanted position while holding her new stomach also she wanted to close her eyes and had to open again because of the nausea that came back, Nadia immediately ran back to the bathroom to spit out everything last she washed her face.
Nadia saw herself in the makeup mirror in the room near the window she saw herself in the mirror the situation was very chaotic, her nose was red plus her eyes were swollen not forgetting her face was pale.
“This is the tea.” Ratih.
“Eh yes, thanks Ratih. Please put it on the table only.” Nadia said.
Train according to and immediately passed out of his master's room. Nadia immediately sipped a warm tea brought by Ratih at that time the state of Nadia became better, the girl sat down in front of the dressing table while rubbing her stomach.
“Nadia!!” Calling the master at the door, the girl turned her head
and saw his father-in-law standing in the doorway.
“What is good?” anna asked as she approached Nadia followed behind her was Brechtje.
“I..” Nadia said.
Anna could understand Nadia looking at the state of the beige-clad girl.
“What do you want?” ask Anna.
“I...mau..fleshed food.” Nadia's speech stammered.
Anna nodded in understanding while Brechtje just rolled her eyes carelessly to think Nadia was spoiled once even though Brechtje had not felt what it was like to be pregnant.
“Arum!!” call Anna by shouting, Arum comes in throngs to fulfill Anna's call.
The blonde-haired middle-aged woman told Arum to bring a tray containing food that Nadia did not run out of.
“Nadia je better rest, ik will prepare fleshy food later.” Anna said before leaving.
“Mama I want beef don't want pig or goat meat.” Nadia.
“Well better take a break if nothing happens with the grandson ik.” Said Anna.
Nadia nodded in understanding after she lay down on the Mattress while tilting her sleeping position not to forget her hand that always stroked her stomach.
Nadia understood all this time Anna loved him only because the prospective son of the van Buthjer family was no more really sad fate but however there was something he always worried about, namely his stomach.
What if his mother suspects that her stomach is getting bigger and bigger. Slowly Nadia began to close her eyes.
