Episode 8

It had been a week since Nana felt an excruciating pain in her breasts. She had been back and forth to the hospital four times for check-ups. She even switched hospitals, but the examination results remained the same: there was nothing wrong with her. This morning, Nana woke up with difficulty due to the pain in both of her breasts, making it difficult to move. Bu Asih often helped her daughter just to get to the bathroom. Nana's weight had started to drop because she had not slept at night. She always cried, saying the pain was so unbearable. Before, when she took medicine, it subsided a little, but now nothing could ease the pain.

Even though she was sick like this, Nana still tried to maintain her appearance and always showered up to four times a day because the smell on her body was very bothersome. What Pak Irwin feared had also happened. The fate of the village flower was rarely lucky. There were always misfortunes that befell her, especially since Nana was very arrogant and haughty. It was possible that someone would be offended to hear her words. It wasn't just Nani that Nana often insulted, but other girls were also not spared from Nana's hurtful mouth, which was outrageous when she saw a girl she considered ugly.

"Ouch, it hurts so much," Nana complained as she opened her dressing.

How shocked Nana was when the dressing released a considerable amount of blood. She looked in the mirror to see her very painful breasts. Her hand carefully pressed the spot where the blood had come out. Nana felt truly shocked and in pain now. How could it be that her breasts were now rotting like fruit that had been in the trash for a long time? Even with a slight press, Nana's finger went inside. More and more blood soaked her lower body. Nana became hysterical because she couldn't believe what she had experienced.

"Nanaaaa! What's wrong with you?" Bu Asih shouted from outside.

"Mom! What's wrong with me, Mom?!" Nana screamed in pain and fear.

"What is it, child?!" Bu Asih opened the bathroom door and froze.

She was very shocked and scared to see her daughter's rotting breasts with blood pouring out, so wide open as if the inside had been rotten for a long time. Nana screamed and cried because that was all she could do now. Fear and pain were what Nana felt because she didn't know what disease was nesting in her body. Even if it were breast cancer, it wouldn't be this severe in a short time. It only took one week, and Nana's were destroyed and rotting.

"Oh God, my child, Honey!"

Bu Asih shouted for her husband to immediately take Nana back to the hospital because where else could she be taken since only a doctor could cure this pain.

"Astagfirullah, Oh God." Pak Irwin held his breath, seeing Nana's condition.

Blood was scattered on the bathroom floor from Nana's breasts, which had a hole the size of a ball. Anyone would not be able to bear to see it.

"Honey, be careful, let me take her to the room." Pak Irwin carried his daughter out of the bathroom.

The sobs of a mother had already filled the house because she was so shocked by her daughter's condition. Nana was dressed in a skirt because she was naked and about to bathe. The upper part of her body was covered with a sarong so that it wouldn't look so horrifying. Anyone would be unable to bear it.

"We'll go to the hospital and ask the doctor to remove it all so that Nana's disease doesn't spread anywhere," Pak Irwin decided.

"Noooo! I don't want to lose my breasts!" Nana shrieked hysterically.

"You're in this condition, Na! Even if you want to keep them, you won't be able to. It's better to have them removed," said Bu Asih.

"No! I don't want to." Nana was still stubborn.

The parents could no longer make a decision because the sick person also chose to persevere. Nana only wanted to be treated with medication without having to undergo surgery. Even though the pain was extraordinary, she was the one who bore the pain.

"Ouch, it hurts," Nana winced as the pain throbbed again.

"Drink your medicine first. How long are you going to keep enduring the pain, Na?" Bu Asih gave her a pill.

"You mean I'd be better off dead?!" Nana snapped.

"Listen to me when I'm talking to you! Let's just have the surgery before your breasts rot further," Bu Asih urged.

Clang.

Nana threw the empty drinking glass instead. She really didn't want to have her breasts surgically removed. Because Nana was still sure that it would heal with the medicine she was taking. Moreover, she heard with her own ears that the doctor said she didn't have breast cancer.

"I'd rather go to a shaman than go to the doctor. We've spent so much money there, and there have been no results at all! Now you want me to have surgery," Nana said in annoyance.

"What shaman are you talking about? This kind of illness is not for a shaman, Na," Bu Asih snapped.

"You're the one who doesn't believe in shamans? It could be Nani who sent black magic." Nana retorted.

Bu Asih was furious because Nana was still blaming her younger sister. Nana cried because she lamented her terrible fate. She had only just received such a heavy ordeal, but Nana shouldn't have complained so much.

It's just that basically, she was a person who didn't like having bad luck. Usually, her fate was always good, unlike Nani, who had experienced many trials since childhood because of her ugly face and dark skin, while Nana, who was beautiful, insulted her harshly as if she didn't care about Nani's sadness.

"Ugh, it hurts so much." Nana groaned in pain again.

She took the mirror to see how badly her breasts were rotting. Indeed, they were gaping wide open as if they were hollow and would soon come off. It hurt so much. Nana winced and took a gauze pad to clean the very large wound.

Blood flowed from the gaping wound, and the smell was pungent, as if the wound had been infested with maggots for a long time. Nana was also worried that her wound would attract maggots ready to gnaw at her flesh. Nana couldn't imagine if that happened to her breasts that had started to rot. Deep down, she was convinced that Nani had sent black magic.
