RETURN TO THE LION'S DEN

Sundari did not expect that the guest who came was Kartika. He feels happy when Rivan redeems Kartika from Mrs. Sonia. The woman did not expect at all that Kartika would return here.

"What happened? Why are you here? Isn't Rivan already -"

"I'm pregnant, mom. This is Rivan's son."

Sundari closed his mouth. He did not expect at all if Kartika is now pregnant again.

"Son ... how could all this happen?"

Kartika did not answer, she punched Sundari's body and cried in the arms of the beautiful woman.

"Mom will take care of you, do you want to abort this child?' asked Sundari.

Kartika shook her head slowly.

"No, Mom. Love this kid."

"Are you sure?" asked Sundari.

"If he doesn't want to, don't force him."

Kartika and Sundari turned their heads, Sania was standing while looking at Kartika with a grin. All this time he told someone to spy on Kartika. And he was very happy when Kartika decided to go and also finally returned to Bandung.

"If you want, Mommy can give you a job," Sania said.

"No, Mom. I no longer want to be a comfort woman," Kartka replied firmly.

"No, I'll offer you to work at my house as a cook. I know your cooking is good, Kartika. Cooking won't interfere with your womb, right?"

Sundari looked at Sania while frowning. The truth is, it's not about Sania's words. He knew exactly what was in the woman's mind.

"Don't look at me like that, Sundari. I'm not trapping Kartika. I heard your conversation earlier."

"Just let him stay here with me," Sundari said.

"Of course he can stay here. He just needs to come to my house to cook. When he's done, he can come back here."

Kartika looked at Sundari and Sania alternately.

"OK, Mommy, I want to accept Mommy's offer. If my son is born again I will find another job."

"Well, that's better, Kartika. I just love you, " Sania said.

"But, please don't let Rivan know where I am, Mom, Mom. I don't want him looking for me and hoping to take responsibility."

"Rivan is married to his fiancee, Kartika," said Sundari.

Although already knowing if Rivan has a fiance does not fail it makes Kartika sick as well. He loved Rivan with all his heart. But, what can he be compared to Rivan's fiancee he does not have a tip of the nail.

***

Kartika's birth age has entered the last week. He still works at Sania's House as a cook. Sania also showed a good attitude toward Kartika.

"I am a pity with you. He's young,but his fate is so great. Be patient, Tika. Hopefully your child will be able to make your degree rise, " said Sania.

"Thank you, Mommy."

"You don't want to see your mother?" asked Sania.

"She's not my mother, Mom. If she was my mother, she would sell me."

Kartika couldn't stop her tears. How could anyone else be so good, while the biological mother herself has the heart to let her child suffer?

"I understand your feelings, TIka. Yes this is the name of life does not always run smoothly. Same with my old life."

"Don't you want to quit your job now?" asked Kartika. Sania just laughed out loud.

"I don't have anyone Kartika. Life like this is my letter."

***

That night, Kartika felt incredible heartburn in her stomach. Not strong to rise Kartika was spontaneous screaming for help.

Soon, Sundari came and immediately approached Kartika.

"Oh God, this is a birth. Let's just call The Midwife. It is no longer possible for Kartika to walk, " Sundari said to his men. Kartika really could not stand the pain so she could only scream in pain while squeezing the sheet.

"Hold on, Son, this is what it feels like to give birth," said Sundari.

"Sick!"screeching Kartika.

"Take your breath away, slow down."

Kartika tried to follow Sundari's words, but every time heartburn came, she screamed in pain. Until finally when the midwife came, Kartika had opened eight.

The midwife also helped Kartika and gave instructions so that Kartika was breathing properly.

Until finally near midnight, Kartika managed to give birth to her baby safely. A beautiful baby with round eyes and a sharp nose. Similar to Rivan. Kartika's tears broke out instantly when she saw her little angel born and began to suckle her.

"If you can, don't leave it alone. Her condition has just given birth. Don't move yet, where is the husband?"

Kartika was silent when the question was asked to her.

"Kartika is a widow, Mrs. midwife," answered Sundari.

"Oalah, then ask who can help," said Mrs. midwife with pity.

"Let me take care here, Ma'am," Sundari replied.

"Oh, yes, then. Excuse me, yes."

"Mom, the pay ...."

Kartika was just about to wake up, but Sundari prevented her. "Use your mother's money first," he said while giving some money to the midwife.

"Who will you name your son?" asked Sundari. Kartika pondered for a moment.

"Dania Princess Stele, Mom."

"God, his name is great. I hope you can be a good and good boy, yes."

"Amen."
