Aminah (Between Ex & Future)
Finale
Aminah and Rizal already had their own home after a year of marriage and did not live with their parents anymore. Now, in their large enough house both have lived a married life only two.
A woman's dream can be so simple. Married and became a full-fledged mother. Although there is a new responsibility and role in it, all of it will bring its own blessed happiness.
And for Aminah, only after 2 years of marriage was she surprised by the good news. His dream finally came true, when Aminah woke up at 05.00 am he went straight to the bathroom with a pregnancy test kit that he bought. Unexpectedly the result is two red lines that mean positive pregnancy. However, the happy news he had not been able to say to the husband to this day. Aminah began planning a plan to tell her husband in a different way.
Starting from this morning, when setting the dining table for breakfast. Aminah added mini cutlery. Rizal who came to the dining room alone can only be surprised to stare at the dining table above which presented food with mini-meals.
"You like the mini-mini again, baby?" Tanya Rizal hugged the waist of Aminah who prepared breakfast for her.
Aminah just smiled.
"Let's have breakfast." Aminah.
Rizal has not realized what exactly the wife wants to tell him. Rizal instead looks very enjoy breakfast, because for the first time after a month Aminah began to look cheerful and can prepare breakfast for him as before.
After breakfast, the two chose to sit in the living room. Enjoy the weekend just watching television. Usually Aminah will ask to be taken for a walk.
Rizal began to look at Aminah with a strange look because he was eating biscuits for babies.
"This, not baby food dear." Rizal.
"Yes." Yeah." Reply Aminah. "Keep why?" Ask cuek.
"Why not, baby. Just a wonder." Reply Rizal.
Aminah looked cute and just kept chewing on the baby biscuits regardless of Rizal's gaze. Though Aminah did everything to give Clue to Rizal that she was pregnant. However, Rizal did not understand it yet.
During the day, Aminah busied herself in the kitchen by cooking and making snacks. He made chocolate, in the form of baby clothes, pacifiers and all other baby needs. Aminah hoped that her husband could feel that the content of the message that Aminah wanted to convey was much sweeter than her own chocolate.
"Waaahh it looks good." Rizal said starting to draw one brown with the shape of a baby shirt.
After finishing, Aminah invited Rizal to sit in the garden next to the house near the pool. There Aminah has prepared a picnic atmosphere, by holding a mat. There is a picnic basket with various fruits and snacks available.
"A picnic, baby?" Asked Rizal again who only answered a nod of the head by Aminah.
When Rizal began to enjoy the snacks available, Aminah gave Rizal a black gift box with a gold ribbon.
"Make me?" Ask Rizal.
"Hem." Reply Aminah.
"I'm not having a birthday, baby." Rizal.
"I don't have to give you a gift on your birthday." Reply Aminah.
Rizal looks enthusiastic, he then opened a gift that turned out to be filled Aminah with clothes, shoes and baby toys. Rizal's face looked confused, he lifted the contents of the gift one by one and then looked at Aminah full of questions.
"Continue looking. There's more." Aminah's Order.
Rizal got a pregnancy test marked positive. Rizal immediately looked at Aminah with teary eyes.
Aminah could only smile and nod her head.
"This serious?" Rizal asked in disbelief.
"Seriously. I've been trying to tell you since this morning. But you don't understand it either." Reply Aminah.
Rizal also remembered what Aminah had done since this morning. Start with breakfast using small cutlery, making chocolate snacks with various forms of baby utensils and eating baby biscuits.
"Didn't you read the writing on the baby's shirt?" Ask Aminah.
Rizal shook his head, then looked back at the gray-colored baby's shoulder.
'You are going to be a Daddy.'
Just sober, Rizal immediately approached Aminah and hugged her tightly. Rizal could not say anything, only tears flowed down his cheeks. For the first time Aminah saw the familiar figure of Rizal crying.
"Thank you dear. I'm so happy." Rizal.
Rizal continued to hug Aminah and kissed her forehead gently.
"What will I be like and how will I become a father?" Rizal.
"Any man can be a father, but it takes the special someone to be a dad. Have you heard that quote?" Aminah asked Rizal. "More or less means that all men can be fathers, but not all can be good fathers to their children. And I'm very, very sure that you're going to be a wonderful father to our son."
"Honey, the presence of this baby in your stomach, becomes a pride as well as happy me too." Reply Rizal. "When did you know all this?"
"It was a month ago." Reply Aminah.
"Why are you keeping it a secret?" Ask Rizal.
"Because I didn't have time to tell you." Reply Aminah.
Rizal then asked what Aminah wanted. Does she not crave like most other pregnant women. Rizal also reminded Aminah to tell her parents.
"Later tonight we go home. All thanks surprise Mom and Dad on their wedding anniversary." Aminah.
"Why did I forget that. Then, we have to find a special gift for the same Father Mother." Reply Rizal.
"certain." Aminah embraces Rizal's neck and kisses his soft lips.
"I love you." Rizal.
"I am too." Reply Aminah.
Seriate.....
Aminah and Rizal's life became happier after Aminah's pregnancy. All family members are unceasingly grateful for Aminah's pregnancy. Rizal himself increasingly turned into a very alert husband. When checking the content of Aminah to the Doctor, it turns out that she is only 6 weeks old.
At the beginning of the pregnancy, it would have been very heavy for Aminah who first felt pregnancy, especially she often felt nausea and vomiting so great that she did not want to eat. But Rizal always tried to make Aminah can eat.
"Darling, if you don't eat, the baby here will starve." Rizal said as he stroked Aminah's stomach. "Eat yes, just a little." Persuak Rizal's.
"I'm sick, I don't like it." Aminah.
"Keep how dong darling. You don't eat." Reply Rizal is worried.
Aminah.
Rizal again tried to make the wife want to eat even if only a little. This continued until the third month of Aminah.
In the fourth month of Aminah's pregnancy, Aminah suddenly had bleeding. Aminah immediately panicked and told Rizal. After that both went straight to the hospital to check the content of Aminah.
"Bu Aminah's Village is okay, it's just that Ms. Aminah has to take a complete break and must not do any household chores." The doctor replied that made Aminah and Rizal feel relieved.
Since then Rizal no longer allows Aminah to work, even for cooking alone all handed Rizal to a maid. Sometimes both of them invited both Aminah's parents to stay at their house, or both of them would visit Aminah's parents' house.
Aminah felt very lucky to have a husband who was always ready to take care of her and help her when she needed her help.
...----------------...
It does not feel the pregnancy of Aminah at the age of 9 months, of course, stressful moments for Aminah waiting for the birth of the baby candidate.
The day on which Aminah was ready to deliver her baby to the world. It starts when he wakes up. Aminah panicked because the liquid continued to flow, immediately she shouted to call Rizal.
"I'm yaang...." Shouted Aminah.
Rizal who was still lying in bed, suddenly woke up and ran towards the sound of Aminah who was in the bathroom.
"What's the matter, baby?" Rizal asked who was immediately shocked to find Aminah holding her stomach.
"I think I'm going to give birth." Aminah.
Rizal immediately panicked, he shouted to the waiter who was at home after carrying Aminah's body out of the bathroom. On the way to the hospital, Rizal did not forget to call both Aminah's parents and his parents.
Upon arrival at the Aminah hospital was immediately treated because the water was almost exhausted even though he had just opened one. The doctor then gave induced to speed up the birth process of the baby Aminah. But after 5 hours passed Aminah failed at opening four which means not progressing to the next opening stage.
The doctor suggested that Aminah be cesarean, Aminah became panicked because she could not imagine everything.
"Darling, I'm scared." Isak Aminah's.
"Don't be afraid baby, I'll always be there by your side." Reply Rizal kissed Aminah's forehead.
Ms. Wati could only hold back her tears trying to strengthen the princess. He knew very well that Aminah since childhood did not like the hospital very much.
Aminah took a deep breath, she could only surrender to God. Most importantly, she and her baby survived.
When he arrived at the operating table Aminah increasingly felt very frightened because he was only sedated half a body which means he could see the operation process takes place. During the operation, Aminah could only droop and almost despair. Fear that his life could not be saved.
Rizal who faithfully accompanied Aminah continued to whisper prayers in the ear of Aminah and encouraged her.
"I love you baby, be strong. Hold on for our son." Rizal.
After a while, all the fear was gone when Aminah heard the sound of her baby crying. Aminah and Rizal were relieved and happy. However, Aminah could not see the baby directly because the nurse immediately brought her baby to be given special care.
Finally, the struggle of Aminah bears sweet fruit. The operation went well, and Aminah was taken out of the operating room to the cries of her parents and in-laws. Shortly thereafter the nurse brought the baby Aminah. All the families present welcomed the baby boy Aminah with a happy smile.
"Waaahh our grandchildren are so handsome." Said Mr. Haris.
Bu Nana and Pak Deni took turns holding the baby boy who had not been named with Aminah's parents.
"Sir, I didn't think so, sir. We already have a grandson. I'm already a grandmother sir." Said Bu Wati.
"Emang from a long time ago Mother was like a grandmother." Ledek Mr. Haris.
Both of Rizal's parents laughed, they were so happy to see Rizal finally have a descendant.
"Thank you for all your struggles, baby." Rizal kissed Aminah's forehead.
Inwardly, Aminah unceasingly thanked God, who had saved her and her baby. Aminah felt sad because she could not breastfeed her baby because she still had difficulty moving and could not get out of bed.
After 12 hours passed Aminah still had difficulty breastfeeding because she was still in pain due to surgery and could not move her body. But Aminah did not give up, she continued to try to move little by little and breastfeed her baby even though she had to always be helped by Rizal or her mother.
Aminah felt so happy when she first breastfed her handsome baby, not bored she continued to look at her baby's face as if she could not believe that she had been born.
...----------------...
After two days of treatment, Aminah was allowed to go home. That is where Aminah's journey to motherhood began. After his condition recovered, Aminah was able to take care of her baby, of course, with the help of her family because Aminah was still very weak.
Being a new mother is certainly very difficult, feeling stressed and depressed often approached Aminah. She often cries alone and her emotions are often unstable. But luckily Rizal and his family were always there. Slowly all that sense disappeared and began to get used to her routine as a mother. Moreover, Aminah is always accompanied by her little angel who always makes her day feel colorful.
The little baby Aminah was named Saka. The presence of Baby Saka became a lamp for the small family of Aminah.
Today, the days of Aminah are always adorned with spoiled cries and smiles from Saka's tiny lips. Now she feels she is the happiest woman in the world and becomes a full-fledged wife and mother right after three years of marriage.
'So it was the most beautiful gift that God gave me. I'll keep this trust until he grows up.'
Being a mother is a lifelong role that is Aminah's choice besides other roles. According to Aminah, being a mother is a role that requires excellent mental and physical readiness because she is the first home for her child where she must have a strong enough foundation to be a means for growth and development.
Saka is the name that Rizal and Aminah chose for their first son. In addition to being the first child, Saka is also the first grandchild in Rizal's extended family and Aminah's extended family, how he became the favorite of his parents' entire family.
Saka is the successor of the family that they will certainly prepare how later he became part of the small family of his parents, became part of a large family and later also became part of the community.
Before becoming a mother, Aminah was a quite individualist person and when deciding to marry Rizal, Aminah had plans only for herself and Rizal. But when having Saka, slowly the values that Aminah has held and maintained all this time changed. Aminah became more open with spaces of compromise, tolerance, assertiveness, openness and humility. These things are certainly not easy and difficult to manage coupled with the decision that Aminah took to stop working and take the role of a full-time Mom.
Always at home, taking care of children, husband and still establish family ties with his extended family and extended family Rizal is actually the same as living a job. The problems that arise sometimes seem trivial but Aminah learned to accept that the problem must be disclosed and must be resolved, because Aminah believes in this principle can help anticipate the bigger problems and this will be learned later in facing the problems in his life.
"I still can't believe we're parents." Aminah said as she leaned against the chest of Rizal's field at night after Saka was over a month old.
"I still don't think I married you." Rizal's reply made Aminah smile. "You know, from the very beginning, I was determined to marry you."
"Ah, that's right. We met for the first time at a blood donor. How could you think that." Speak Aminah with hands coiled around Rizal's waist.
"i'm serious. I don't know what magic you gave me. Since then, I don't want to be away from you. I'm even willing to do anything to be around you." Rizal.
"Is that love?" Aminah Ledek.
Rizal then held Aminah's chin and lifted it so that the two could look at her.
"Never ask how my love for you is dear, for no one will ever be able to measure it." Said Rizal with eyes full of love. "I love you dear." Rizal.
Not yet had Aminah reply to her husband, Rizal had already pulled Aminah closer and kissed her.
"Let's live a happier life for our little family." Rizal.
Aminah nodded and returned Rizal's kiss.
...----------------...
Family is the first place in the life of a child, Aminah and Rizal believe by learning to organize a family, it can be a foundation to be able to organize others. Aminah herself learned to accept all imperfections and it turns out that the current choice to take full care of her son and family is actually an opportunity for Aminah to develop and can be a role model for her son, Saka.
Aminah hopes that Saka will grow and develop into a strong person because it has a strong family foundation that starts from the role of both parents.
