It's hard to get Valerie out of her cell. It's not because the guards and the warden are giving us problems. No. In fact, they welcome the decision because Chief Judge Mr. Caprio himself said that she's innocent. They also respected Sister Khamisah as well as Brother Nar and Sas. The problem is that Valerie herself did not want to come out of her cell. Her eyes are like those of a dead fish, although there's still a glimmer of hope as she laughs when I try to cheer her up.
While I managed to get her to walk out of her cell, she is sighing a lot. She doesn't seem to be interested in looking around Amleth. Strange. She's the exact opposite of me and Dana. Both of us are excited when we see Amleth for the first time, but as for her, she just looks at the ground, like I do when I'm punished for something I definitely didn't deserve.
There are various destinations I have in mind to make her happy, but my instinct is definitely telling me to go to the hospital. I'm not sure why, in fact, I don't think it's logical. She just lost her family as well as her friends in the village, so I'm sure that reminding her of that will be something bad, but my instinct keeps telling me that it's going to be okay, so I went straight to the hospital.
Holding her hand, I take her to the nurses and doctors and introduce Valerie as her helper. They're worried that Valerie looks sick and depressed, but I convinced them to let Valerie help. Valerie does not seem to be interested when
"Ah! Miss Saga!"
"It's been a while!"
"Oh! It's you from the orphanage! Come here to play?" [Diana]
(Orphanage?) [Valerie]
"Silly Diana, we are here to help!"
"You see, we also bring our younger one. We will definitely help both the orphanage and the hospital today"
"But last time you were scolded for dirtying the laundry..."
"That was an accident!"
"What about the time you commented on how ugly the babies were..." [Diana]
"I... I didn't mean that!"
I keep talking to them from the orphanage. The younger group, ages 4-7, are also here to help. They're definitely more reliable than that stinky brat who keeps causing trouble after trouble! Can't he be mature like me!
"Ah, sorry, I didn't mean to..." (She smiles) [Diana]
"Who is this lady?"
"Her name is Valerie. She will also help at the hospital." [Khamisah]
"Then let us begin!"
"Miss Valerie, how about helping me? You are tall and look strong!"
"How about helping us with the babies!"
"Uh... Sure..." [Valerie]
"All right! Let's go, go, go!" [Diana]
(Looks like she's slowly opening up) [Nar]
(Not only because of Diana, but also because of the other orphans) [Sas]
I literally come back to the hospital the same day I am discharged. The doctors, nurses, and the healers from the churches all comment on this, with some telling me to just stay in the hospital if I like it here so much! Hey! I don't want to!
There's helping to feed the babies with milk. There's changing diapers... Yes, it's my favorite activity to give it to Dana and then she will pass it on to someone else. It goes on until it's Valerie's turn, and the moment she touches the baby
"Are you okay?"
"Why are you crying too?"
"Is it so stinky?"
"Is the baby poop burning your eyes?"
"No... It's just that... It's just... I miss them... I miss my sons and daughters..." [Valerie]
"I see. It must be hard, but look, she's happy that you touch her".
The mother, who initially laughed when we all didn't want to change her daughter's diaper, begins to hug Valerie. The others began to do the same. Some said they understood what Valerie was saying, that losing a family, especially your own flesh and blood, is hard, but it's not the end.
"Yes... I know my children well... They definitely wanted me to live too, to be happy, but did I deserve it..." [Valerie]
"Of course you do!" [Nar]
"Brother Nar!?" [Diana]
"My brother and I... We are orphans ourselves. We lost our parents... The orphanage back then was hell, especially when that bastard... until our older sister here changed it for the better. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't be standing here with you today. If it wasn't for her, Diana wouldn't be here to cheer you up. You may have lost something valuable today, and you probably will in the future, but that doesn't mean it's all over! It isn't!" [Nar]
"True. No matter how bleak a day may be, there will definitely be a sunny day if you keep trying" [Khamisah].
"I... I..." [Valerie]
It's a happy day today. Sas and Dana said that she finally found the will to live again. I'm just happy that everything went well for her. The others also chime in, giving her encouragement after encouragement
