A Glimpse of Light For Raina

Go home to my parents

After all the goods and equipment needed for the baby Raina was enough, the two men also paid for all the groceries at the cashier. And then they left the baby shop.

"Raina, do you already have clothes for nursing mothers?" ask Mother Eva.

"Raina only has one negligee with front buttons, Bun. The rest are just big t-shirts that don't have buttons" Raina replied.

"Ok, now we find clothes for you" said Mother Eva.

Raina could not refuse to argue. Because, if he does it is also free because Mother Eva still bought it for him. And finally Raina just went to step her feet where Mother Eva went.

Mother Eva has chosen some clothes to make it easier for Raina to breastfeed later, some comfortable interiors for mothers after giving birth and a corset for Raina.

"Bun, what is this for?" raina asked as she pointed at the corset that had been put in the shopping bag.

"That's a corset baby, it's good so that your stomach doesn't flutter. Because after giving birth the skin of the abdomen looks pliable and wrinkled like a balloon that broke and took a long time to restore it to its normal shape. And if you use this, at least you can handle it." explains Mother Eva.

Actually Raina does not mind her body shape after giving birth later. Whatever the change will be, it is because she has conceived and given birth to a man whom God has entrusted to her. However, there is no harm in following the words of parents. It is true that said by Mother Eva, because she is still young and must still take care of herself even though she has children.

"If the mother used to have Sandra's main eye, she was very strict in making rules if there was a child who had given birth. Mother is told to wear a very long stagen continuously wrapped around the body. Actually it is not to make slim, it's just that the stomach skin will tighten. If you want to shrink a distended stomach after giving birth, of course, you have to maintain a diet and exercise. But, yes like that the past must follow must not argue." explained Mother Eva while laughing considering the times after she gave birth to Sandra the only child.

"Are mothers treated the same as mothers after giving birth first?" asked Raina who was curious about her in-laws.

"certain. Your mother-in-law is very obedient to what is said by eyang uti, in fact she is still very upholding the old rules. But, if after giving birth later you live with your mother, maybe you do not feel the harsh rules made by your in-laws." replied Mother Eva.

Raina could not imagine, if she had to follow the rules of her in-laws if she gave birth later. While during Raina's pregnancy alone, a lot of food is not allowed to eat by her in-laws. All because of the ban. Though according to the obstetrician, there is no abstinence of any food for pregnant women as long as consuming it within reasonable limits. So Raina sometimes eats secretly in her room, if she wants to eat what her in-laws are not allowed to.

After the shopping was over, Mother Eva decided to take Raina home first.

Upon arrival at Satria's house, Eva's mother stopped by for a while to see her older sister.

"Sir, I can't stay here long. There is still a lot of work I have left behind. I want to go home first, Ma'am." said Mother Eva.

"Yes, thank you for accompanying Raina." replied Santi's mother.

After Eva's mother's departure, Raina along with her in-laws were still in the family room. Raina showed me everything she had bought using her in-laws' money.

"Funny yeah, the clothes. Mamah was getting impatient waiting for her birth" said Santi's mother while stroking Raina's stomach.

"Hehe .. yes, Mah." replied Raina with a slight laugh.

"Ehm, Raina .. If it is near the time of your delivery later, you should go back to your mother's house" said Santi's mother.

"Ehm ...." Raina turned towards her in-laws.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to throw you out of this house. It's just, mamah feels if mamah can not take care of you later after you give birth" said Santi's mother.

After speaking, Santi's mother took her breath back.

"If you are with your mother, someone will take care of you and your baby. If you're here, when it's time to give birth and Satria hasn't come home yet, no one can help you. Mom is scared and she's going to panic on her own. Later there is not only you who were taken to the hospital, but mamah also because the heart mamah relapsed." added Ms Santi again.

Raina just nodded her head understanding. The reasons made by her in-laws were quite acceptable.

"Mama can only visit you and your grandchildren there later. But, if you feel strong and you can take care of your own child, you can go back to this house." said Santi's mother.

"Yes, Mah. Oh yes, Mah ... Raina is tired, Raina wants to enter Raina's room first." said Raina with a smile.

"Yes, my mom is also going to lie down. I don't know why suddenly my head became dizzy" said Santi's mother.

"Mamah should rest and take the mamah" said Raina who had helped her in-laws into the room and took the medicine for her in-laws.

After that, Raina repackaged her baby clothes and supplies. Then bring him into his room.

Raina immediately changed her clothes with a negligee. And then lay his body in a mattress. Raina thought back to her in-laws and also thought about her future delivery. In addition, Raina also re-think what the continuation of her marriage after she gave birth later.

Raina looked at the wall of her room with nanar, there was a sad feeling if she had to part with the person she started to love. However, he should accept the reality if it really happened and he should also throw away all his feelings towards Satria.

Raina's phone rang, breaking the reverie of her future life. Soon he took the phone that was still in the bag he was wearing earlier.

The name of Satria on the screen phone. Soon he answered the call, though he felt reluctant to talk to Satria at this time.

[Hallo, assalamualaikum, Mas.]

[Walaikumsalam, sorry I just saw a message from you. How about your womb? Is jagoanku in good health?]

[Yes, he is very healthy.]

[Keep, did you go shopping with your mom?]

[Yes, I've been shopping for all the baby gear.]

Raina just answered Satria's question flatly and Satria felt that something made Raina like that.

[Raina, are you okay?]

[Yes, Mom. I'm doing fine.]

[Seriously?]

[Yes, Mom.]

Both were silent for quite a while. Satria did not want to go too deep into what caused Raina to be cold with her. Raina was upset with herself.

"Did I tell you Satria now, huh?" inner Raina.

[Generic.] Satria cleared her throat hard enough to break Raina's daydream.

[Mas ... It looks like starting next month, I'll be staying at my mom's house.]

[Why?] Satria is shocked to hear Raina saying that she wants to go back to her parents' house.

[It's okay, Mom. Raina doesn't want to trouble the house people here, if Raina gives birth later.]

[We all did not feel bothered or troubled by Raina.]

[Mas, you know for yourself what kind of mamah, what if later his birth time advanced not according to the schedule of the doctor and you are not here yet? I don't want to make you panic about my condition. Mamah has not fully recovered, let me stay with mother until I am fully recovered and can take care of my own son later.]

Satria was silent listening to Raina's explanation. Somehow he felt unwilling if Raina left his house even though Raina's reason was only temporary.

[Well, if that's the reason.]

Although with a heavy heart, Satria still allows Raina to go home to her parents.

[Mas, I'm so tired. I want to rest.]

[Oh, okay. Be rested.]

Satria ended her phone call. She felt that Raina had intentionally done so to avoid her.

Meanwhile, after Satria hangs up her phone unknowingly Raina's tears just flow. I don't know what he felt, there was a sudden pain in his heart when he said he wanted to go home to his parents.

That feeling, only Raina knows.... Author does not know 😜️
