Aara is Not Lara

Contractions

The roar of the sound of cars left the airport standing majestically. Drive away from the exit portal. Carrying many lives with a body that has just released the departure of a husband and daughter-in-law.

Ara raised her head at the car window. Looking straight at the blue sky on an airplane in flight. Clumps of distant clouds and planes that have not taken off for a long time make Ara clearly still able to see it.

Rava who initially struggled not to review directly to the project location was not satisfied just by reading the work report of his subordinates. As a result, Rava was forced to tighten the schedule to review the building directly the results of the embezzlement of the funds. Not to mention Rava had to deal directly with some investors who demanded because of the dragging case.

Rava did not waste his time. Even while on the air, he remains preoccupied with studying financial statement files and case analysis that will be the core of important meetings upon arrival there. Of course not alone, Rava accompanied by a secretary who was his confidant.

"Sister while sleeping in the lower room where Adek. Don't mess in the upstairs room alone!" mama Lauritz orders when she gets home. The old woman's eyes were sharp, staring intently at the child's large belly.

For a while Ara will be staying with her family. While the house deliberately Rava pasrudah to Bik Tih.

It could be that the family took turns to accompany Ara in her own house, but Ara who missed her parents' house asked Rava's permission to stay with her family. Of course Rava immediately agreed, he would be calmer because many would accompany Ara as long as she left.

"The two boys slept together in Brother's room?" asked Ara while drowning watching the pillows, bolsters and blankets of her two sisters vanished from their respective mattresses.

"Rian can sleep if you don't see his mother, brother. Your room is now a basecamp by noon. The mattress is big. Sometimes they play the war above."

"Maybe the second child. Funny about their Ma. Though the guy is already big again, but still likes spoiled together. Mamas also the Round diuyel-uyel mulu-kayak baby."

"You don't think so, brother. Even worse you ... Marriage is rare at home. Reduced baby's voice."

"Hehe ... After all, Ma, I can't if it's not like that. No matter how big Rian is, make Brother look like a baby. It is almost as high as Papa. Even a little bit called Om." Chuckles Ara imagines the youngest Rian will be called Om by his son later.

"Unexpected mom, brother. You who used to go home to school her skirt likes to be used for the same umbrella stock even sold now already want to love Mama's grandchildren," said then Lauritz was quite amazed at his daughter who had grown up. He is awakening at an age that is getting older.

"Yes, Ma, tomorrow Ara's coming to the store huh? Since pregnancy entered the seventh month of the same Mas Rava was told to take care of the bookkeeping from home aja so bosen really."

"Tomorrow to ask Papa to use the car if that's the case."

"The car from Mas Rava is still not used by Papa, Ma? Sisters saw Papa go to the workshop take the black one."

"He said it's a pity to use a good car just to make it to the workshop. What else if I change. In a workshop where there is clean, brother. Most mornings or evenings Papa same Jona like to bring the engine heat alone," explained Mama Lauritz while emptying a room in the wardrobe with Jona and Rian. Her hands skillfully helped to compose Ara's clothes.

While Ara was casually sitting on the edge of the bed. But a second later suddenly his gaze rattled.

"Ma...," lirih Ara paused her words, "kok Brother's feeling suddenly not good huh? Rava is going to be okay, right?"

"There's nothing. Most of the feelings of a brother who is not willing to be left far away with Rava," said Mama Lauritz trying to calm Ara who seemed troubled. Rejecting bad thoughts that flash.

Towards noon Ara's phone shook, displaying a name with a photo of the figure that was feared earlier. Ara quickly shifted the green icon that connected the video call.

[Shy ..].

"Have you arrived?" ask Ara quickly while paying attention to every corner of the place behind Rava that caught the camera lens. Rava was in a room.

[Udah from earlier, darling. Sorry I didn't tell you straight away. Once here, he was immediately picked up by the office. Discuss work on the road continue meeting. It just finished.]

"I think it's important to be well there. Later if there is more time do not forget to tell." Sendu Ara stared at the tired murat that adorned Rava's face.

For almost 5 days the man did not get enough sleep. Spend time working with his work. Just a little set aside time to kiss the sleeping wife and prospective baby who sometimes kicked her gentle strokes.

"Have you eaten?"

[Not yet. This is just about to eat. Now go eat first, right?]

Rava shifted the bottled water that is still intact. Putting his phone to highlight exactly himself who wants to fill the stomach. It was not long seen on the Rava screen pulling the food parcels.

"It looks really good Mas capcay," said Ara while swallowing her saliva. The eyes of the young mother-to-be sparkled to see the Rava lunch menu is one of her favorite foods.

[So good thing about the shrimp here, too, Yang. You can't eat this. Later if we go home we buy at Mas subscription place, better there.]

The two spent Rava's rest time with small talk. Even Ara was actually back tempted to eat again. No doubt a plate of potato parchment unconsciously ludes devoured it.

Don't be surprised, Ara's appetite has been crazy since the beginning of her pregnancy. Very lucky in pregnancy Ara is not included in the category of fussy, although in the third trimester should feel morning sickness.

...----------------...

"Huh ...." Sighing roughly, Ara missed Rava. Really 3 days it went through quite heavily. Her sleep was not calm without a gentle swab of Rava. Of course the blackened circumference did not hesitate to decorate his eye bags.

"Eghh! Maaite ... Mama?!" call Ara to Mama Lauritz with high intonation.

His feet had difficulty being carried away as the astonishing wave struck. He gripped tightly on the edge of the chair. Sit down while enjoying a very amazing sensation.

Ara tried to calm down when she felt her stomach contract again. Nearly 1 hour full of sense it crashing with a constant interval of adjacent time. At first he let it go, but the wave he just felt was terrible.

For a moment Ara managed her hunting breath. Waiting for Mama Lauritz patiently. Ara realized Mama Lauritz was busy providing debriefing and work evaluation to employees of her dry snack store.

The small kiosk next to Papa Yudith's workshop has been moved and turned into a 2-door shophouse. A year later, Mama Lauritz's business grew rapidly to be able to recruit many people around who have difficulty getting a job. Of course, all that can not be separated from the success of the idea of Ara in marketing the snack products of the Mama.

True, Ara still has dreams of becoming a career woman regardless of her status as a housewife.

"Silent weight-heavy lift huh? Mama has said just be quiet do not take care of anything other than the store cash! Aduuuh ... You lift the gallon!" mama Lauritz's nagging without asking Ara the truth. The reason is too panic when you find the gallon of water on the dispenser has been replaced.

"So, just shut up, Ma ... That gallon was replaced by someone else," Ara said as she rubbed her stomach.

"Csh ... Ma asked Papa to pick me up. From last night, his stomach was not good. It's intermittently also the force of his contract."

Mama Lauritz heard Ara's words. As fast as lightning the old woman's feet stepped near the end of the table, grabbing the bag and reaching for the phone. Because in the store there is only an employee-owned motorbike that can be used for transportation.

"Search for a taxi in front, brother? You've been mules-mules, right?"

"No need, Ma. It's gone again. It's okay. Help Brother wake up to wait for Papa in front of me."

"Call Rava when you get to the hospital, sister. Let's know what the opening is to how long ago. Rava's afraid to panic there."

"Yes, Ma" Ara replied briefly as she walked to the front porch of the store while being led by Mama Lauritz. Suddenly, a patch of sweat arises from behind the hair, dripping slowly down the temple and hold the back of the hand.

After 15 minutes, Papa Yudith ran frantically to his wife and son, who seemed to be in pain.

"Can you walk alone? Want Papa's hold? It hurts so much, sister?" papa Yudith's story is endless. Even Grandpa's candidate did not realize if his legs were to accompany Ara to the car parked right in the courtyard of the wife's shop.

Turning his eyeballs lazy, Mama Lauritz did not expect that Papa Yudith would be that sweet. Though in the past when welcoming the birth of his own son was always calm, relaxed and impressed ordinary even though his expression looked very happy.

In the back seat of Papa Yudith's first car, Ara breathed a sigh of relief, leaning her back with her eyes closed. His fear of the pain of the contraction was not too terrible, or it might not have happened yet.

Opening her eyes wide, Ara gave a small smile watching her Papa car. Yes, Papa Yudith's car is still the same. Not replaced even though Rava persuaded even had time to buy the latest car directly. Not disrespecting the gift of his son-in-law, but Papa Yudith has his own bond with a butut car that is as strong as purchased and modified with Jona.

That perfectly polished butut car has a story. Many memories of happy laughter, the proud look of his children when the car first managed to drive them around the City. Even when the car broke down, not the first complaint echoed, but the laughter of his children that made Papa Yudith more eager to improve.
