Silent Echoes

A woman is holding a baby who looks fast asleep. The woman looks like she has just come out of a luxurious and magnificent house. Not only was he carrying the baby, but he was also pulling a suitcase and carrying a large bag that seemed to contain important items.

The woman's face looked puffy after crying. And her appearance is a little messy, even though the outfit she is wearing looks branded.

The woman walked away from the luxurious and magnificent house behind her before she entered a car in the yard of the house.

She is Cristy Yolanka. The woman is the daughter of a famous billionaire in New York City. It could be said that Cristy was a child who grew up in a broken home; she was given abundant wealth but not love.

At its peak, when Cristy was twenty years old and she was still studying at university, the woman accidentally did something that made her pregnant and ended up producing a baby who is now in her arms.

Cristy did it with his girlfriend, but unfortunately, his girlfriend didn't want to take responsibility for what he had done to Cristy. Even though Cristy didn't panic too much because she thought that her lover would definitely be responsible, in fact, her assumption was wrong, and her lover instead ran away as if he were completely innocent.

For months, Cristy had managed to hide her pregnancy from everyone, including her aunt, who had always looked after her since she was little, and her parents. Cristy, who rarely came home because he was too busy, didn't even know that Cristy was pregnant with a baby.

And Chris is also very clever at covering it all up in various ways. And for some reason, Cristy's stomach during her pregnancy didn't look too prominent; as a result, it supports Cristy's intention to hide her pregnancy by always wearing oversized clothes. And Cristy managed to hide the fetus until the time of birth arrived.

WhyCristy Don't you intend to abort when your lover doesn't want to be responsible? Because Cristy is not so evil as to eliminate her own future child, she still has a conscience for her baby, who does not have any sins or wrongdoing.

Initially, only Cristy's aunt or nanny since childhood knew that Cristy gave birth to a baby in the hospital alone, but in the end, both parents found out, and that ended up getting Cristy kicked out of her own house.

So now Cristy left her house with the baby in her arms, even though the woman still didn't know where? He will go to sleep tonight. Meanwhile, Cristy only has a little savings because the woman rarely saved money, and the money her parents gave her was often used for spending sprees with her ex-boyfriend.

Cristy is sorry; she really regrets everything she did. Cristy also regrets that she knew her ex-boyfriend was a jerk and didn't want to take responsibility for what he did.

Remembering all that made Cristy involuntarily shed tears again in the taxi she was riding in-who knows where? Once again, Cristy didn't know where she was going.

'No, I have to be strong for Mike, thought Cristy as she roughly wiped her tears, which slowly fell down her cheeks until they dripped onto the blanket used to cover her baby's body.

Mike-that's the name Cristy gave her son, who is a boy. The woman looked sadly at her baby, who was fast asleep. In Cristy's little heart, she was thinking about her child's future. Cristy didn't know how to explain everything if Mike asked about the child's father.

"Sorry, Miss, where are you going?"

Cristy was awakened by a question from the taxi driver he was riding with. The woman was immediately silent for a moment when she was asked a question like that. To be honest, she was very confused about what to answer.

'How about this? Do I have to stay at a hotel first? Only later will I think again about where I want to go in the future, but I have to give up some of my savings just to stay one night,' thought Cristy, feeling full of doubt.

"It's his."

Cristy He immediately woke up from his reverie when the taxi driver called him again. It was natural that the taxi driver asked for confirmation because, since then, Cristy had not given his destination address.

The woman decided to answer that she wanted to go to one of the hotels that she knew was the cheapest in this city. Even though it was quite far from her house, because that was Cristy's goal, she wanted to go far from her house and everyone who knew her.

"Okay, Miss, the hotel is quite far from here," replied the taxi driver.

Cristy nodded in understanding. "Yes, sir, I know," he replied briefly before the taxi car was again enveloped in silence, which made Cristy continue to look out the window and occasionally glance at Mike, who was still fast asleep without any disturbance. Talking about age, Mike is only two weeks old, and for two weeks, Cristy's parents have been insisting that Cristy leave the house, but Cristy only has the courage now.

The reason why Cristy's parents kicked the woman out was because they thought Cristy would become a disgrace in their family, so Cristy's parents had the heart to throw the woman out of the house with a baby who was only two weeks old. Even though Cristy's parents were completely unaware, they don't consider Mike as their grandson, and now they don't consider Cristy as their child either.

Cristy is so sad about her fate now. Moreover, before she experienced this disaster, Cristy never received the love of her parents because both parents were busy working without thinking about their only child. Yes, Cristy is an only child who doesn't have any siblings; that's what makes Cristy lonely and ends up making the woman have to be affectionate until she's blinded by love. As a result of her being too affectionate with her ex-boyfriend, Cristy complied with his ex-boyfriend's every request until Mike came into this world.

'I have to be strong for Mike to give him a good life, and of course he won't be like me, who is thirsty for love. Even though Mike will grow up without a father, at least he will still have me,' thought Cristy as she wiped her tears, which slowly collapsed again just thinking about her fate. Now that she is a young mother to Mike, what's even worse is being a single mom when she is still twenty years old.

For about thirty minutes, Cristy took a taxi until finally the taxi she was riding in stopped right in front of a tall building, which is usually called a hotel. And honestly, I had resigned myself to having to spend some money to pay for a hotel in one night.

Originally, Cristy didn't want to because her savings had almost run out, but remembering that Mike was sleeping soundly and had an innocent face, Cristy felt sorry for Mike, whom she kept carrying or on her lap. Maybe soon Mike would wake up because no matter what position he was in, if he slept in a place other than a bed, he would definitely be uncomfortable for the baby, so as much as possible, Cristy provided comfortable friends for her child, who was only two weeks old.

"Thank you, sir," said Cristy while giving him the amount of money according to the travel fare that had to be paid.

"Thank you too, Miss."

After that, Christy got out of the taxi. He sighed softly when he got out of the taxi and looked at the contents of the wallet in his hand. Now all Cristy has is cash, because her account must have been blocked by her parents.

Because everything her parents gave Cristy must have been taken back by her parents, including Cristy's car, which her parents bought as a gift for Cristy when she was seventeen.

Cristy can only surrender and accept everything; from now on, she will probably try to change to be a better person. Because now Cristy has no one to rely on but herself. All of those female friends turned out to be just rotten friends who came when they needed them; apparently, Cristy had only had fake friends all this time. A few days ago, Cristy had asked all her close friends for help, but in fact, what she got was rejection, with the reason that most of them couldn't help Cristy's problem.

In fact, all this time, Cristy has always helped her friends if they had problems or needed help, including money problems. But in fact, they all seemed to have forgotten about Cristy's kindness, and the woman just realized that all this time she had only been surrounded by people whose friends she was not sincere with.

But Cristy doesn't regret having helped her friends; she knows that it will all turn around for her someday, even though she doesn't know when. Surely God will repay his kindness, whether by returning it through new people who are kind to Cristy or something else.

The most important thing now is that Cristy must focus on her own life; she must be able to change for the better and focus on supporting Mike, who is the best gift from God. Cristy was trying not to regret everything; he thought maybe this was his and Mike's fate because they were born into this world.

Cristy has just booked a room that can only accommodate one person: herself and Mike. But before the woman went to the hotel room, she took the time to go to the toilet on the first floor because Cristy couldn't hold on to urinating.

Because of this, Cristy was forced to entrust Mike to the receptionist at the hotel. Fortunately, the receptionist was kind and willing to help Cristy. I really hope Mike is okay with the reception lady, who seems like a nice person.

"I have to hurry," Cristy muttered when she had just arrived at the hotel toilet, which was quite far from the reception area. As a result, Cristy felt uneasy, even though she tried to convince her that the receptionist who brought Mike was a good person.

A few minutes, maybe three minutes later, Cristy immediately rushed out of the toilet after finishing her business inside. The woman jogged back to the reception area to get Mike and his belongings, which were also there.

Seeing one of the receptionist women, who was seen cradling Mike while giggling, made Cristy emphasize her steps when she almost arrived at the place. The woman let out a sigh of relief when she saw her son, who looked fine. It turned out that Cristy just felt too negative about the woman who was guarding the reception.

"Sorry to bother Miss; thanks for looking after my child for a moment," said Cristy after the receptionist gave Mike back to her.

Cristy also returned to get her belongings, which had been deliberately left at the reception desk.

"You're welcome, Madam."

After that, Cristy just nodded briefly before leaving and being escorted by the hotel staff to the room that Cristy would be staying in for tonight.

Arriving at the room where Cristy was staying tonight, the woman did not forget to thank the hotel staff who had accompanied her and helped her carry all her things.

After the hotel clerk left, Cristy just entered the hotel room she had booked. The first thing that came to Cristy's mind when she entered was that it was cramped. The room was indeed much narrower than Cristy's room at home, but the woman understood because the hotel prices at this hotel were quite cheap, even the cheapest among other hotels in New York; in fact, this was the first time Cristy had experienced sleeping in such a valuable hotel. cheapest.

"Huff!" Cristy sighed softly after she put Mike, who was still asleep, on the hotel bed, which wasn't too wide or big, but it was enough for him. Cristy and Mike, even though it seems like this is the only time Cristy sleeps on the bed in the hotel he is currently occupying.

Naturally, Cristy comes from a family that is very well off or can be said to be very rich, so the woman is used to everything in her house being luxurious and magnificent, including Cristy's room, which is outside and is equipped with a king-size bed and also a bathroom and walk-in closet, which is one in the room.

So Cristy was a little uncomfortable seeing the narrow bed that Mike would share tonight in the cheapest hotel she visited. Even so, Cristy feels that she still has to be grateful because she is still given a place to live.

Cristy turned to look at Mike, who was still fast asleep. The woman tried to change Mike's position to a slightly more central position, then Cristy gave her son a small blanket.

"Hopefully Mommy will be strong through all this, dear; Mommy will do anything for you," whispered Cristy quietly near Mike, as if her child would hear and understand what she was whispering.

Cristy originally wanted to sleep, but she forgot that she hadn't had dinner yet and she hadn't given Mike breast milk because Mike was still sleeping. Like it or not, Cristy had to wake Mike from his deep sleep so that the baby wouldn't be hungry.

Just as Cristy was gently stroking Mike's cheek, trying to gently wake up his son, the sound of a knock on the door made Cristy rush out of bed and leave Mike alone in bed. The woman went to the door and opened it.

As expected, it turned out that the hotel staff who came gave dinner to Cristy even though the woman had not ordered anything at all. Cristy I think the system at this hotel is like that: food will be delivered directly using the food menu available at the hotel. It's natural, because the hotel Cristy stayed in was really the cheapest hotel in New York.

"Sorry to interrupt your time, Madam; I just wanted to deliver dinner to you."

Cristy nodded with a friendly smile. The woman, understandingly, immediately took over the food from the dining area that was being pushed in when the hotel staff was about to give it to her. "Ah, yes, thank you," she replied.

"You should let me take you inside, Madame," said the hotel clerk once again. And his words were immediately met with a shake of the head by Cristy, who still maintained her friendly smile.

"Thank you, but that's not necessary. Thank you again for delivering dinner at the right time," replied Cristy, ending with a light chuckle that made the person she was talking to laugh too.

"Yes, Madam, you're welcome; this is my duty; if that's the case, I'll excuse you."

Cristy just nodded and smiled before she closed the door to her room after the hotel clerk had completely left there.

Cristy put the food on the nightstand next to the bed. The woman chose to wake Mike up first before he had dinner. Because Chris is more concerned about the condition of Mike's stomach than himself, who is now starving.

"Honey, come on, get up; it's time for you to drink Mommy's breast milk," said Cristy, who immediately lifted Mike onto her lap, and then the woman gently rubbed Mike's cheeks several times until the child squirmed slowly as if he were about to wake up.

And in the end, Cristy managed to wake up her son with great patience. "Well, like this, drink a lot, honey."

Cristy could only remain silent after that while looking at Mike, who was looking at her with an innocent look and drinking breast milk from the source.

Several times Cristy's stomach felt like it was making noises because she had been feeling hungry for a long time, but the woman was just silent and still patiently waiting for Mike to finish. Drink breast milk; usually, the child will stop on his own when he feels full.

It only lasted about ten minutes, and finally Mike stopped and stopped drinking breast milk again. The baby, of course, feels full with his eyes slowly closing again. Seeing him made Cristy chuckle a little.

"It's so funny; after drinking breast milk, you go straight back to sleep; who else if not Mommy's favorite?" said Cristy excitedly as she kissed Mike on both cheeks for a long time and was so excited about her own child.

Cristy put Mike back onto the bed slowly, as if Mike were a fragile object. After making Mike's position comfortable in his sleep, Cristy immediately went to the other side of the bed and took his dinner, which was already cold. Naturally, Cristy had left it for ten minutes in the air-conditioned room.

Even so, Cristy doesn't really care about that because now the most important thing is to replenish her intake so that she can be filled again for the next day. Because Cristy's plan is that tomorrow she will look for a job as well as a place to rent that can be cheap. As much as possible, Cristy has to look for the cheapest one, no matter if it's far away or not.

Cristy continues to strengthen himself even though he has previously been strengthened by the condition of his family, which is not like other families.

Thing!

Cristy Suddenly, he stopped his eating movements when he felt the cellphone, which was placed near Mike's sleeping position, and a distinctive notification sound appeared on his cellphone.

Because Cristy is a very curious person, the woman moved her body slightly to reach for the cellphone that was near Mike.

"Who? Even though I've mostly blocked all the numbers on my cellphone," muttered Cristy, a little surprised. Because what he said was true.

"Isn't that right? It must be a new, unknown number," continued Cristy after seeing an unknown number sending her a message.

The woman quickly opened it. Cristy's face suddenly changed to look flat. "Jeje? Why did he send me a message? And what did he want to use as a new number to contact me?" Cristy muttered in astonishment. But the woman's face remained flat, and she seemed like she didn't like seeing the messages that appeared on her cellphone, especially from numbers she didn't recognize but claimed to be her friends.

What Cristy mentioned was the woman's friend, and Cristy's friend was a woman; Jeje was Cristy's friend who could be called a friend. Cristy is the one closest to the woman. But unfortunately, Jeje Sam is like the others; this woman doesn't seem to care at all about the problems Cristy is facing.

Before Cristy, I was also willing to come all the way to Jeje's house, which is quite far from home, and Cristy came there to ask for help with a problem that came to him.

But in fact, Jeje casually said that he couldn't help Cristy because Jeje was busy shooting. Yes, Jeje is a quite famous model, but Jeje often asks Cristy for help in the form of borrowing money, which ends up not being paid because Cristy is too kind to give up the money herself.

As a result, Cristy regrets a little about her previous attitude of being too kind to people who don't know themselves, but Cristy also tries to be sincere because she will definitely get a reward from God for the good things she does sincerely.

"Not important!" Cristy muttered a little curtly as she blocked Jeje's new number after reading the contents of her former friend's message. Yes, Cristy already considers him an ex, not because Cristy is evil, but because she just feels like she has to be like that for the comfort of her new life.
