ANINDITA, A Tale of the Past

Give birth

Anindita awakens when the sound of people going around to wake her up. With a rather difficult motion because of the age of the womb that has entered nine months until the distended stomach is somewhat disturbing its activity. It has been one week Anindita fasting smoothly without any interference.

" What are you cooking, Bi?" asked Anindita to Bi Teti who was already struggling in the kitchen.

" This is auntie making red bean soup for you, Nin. You will have to eat nutritious food especially when fasting like this," replied Bi Teti.

" I'm so troublesome to Bi Teti, huh? Let me, Bi. I was just going to make cow's eggs practical." Anindita giggles.

" Mending eat fresh vegetables, Nin." Bi Teti.

" Yes, thank you, Bi." Anindita did not forget to thank Bi Teti who had helped her a lot.

" What do you want to fry, Bi? Let me fry it later." Anindita offered her help, she was indeed uncomfortable if she just stood by.

" You just sit there. Pity that you should stand." Bi Teti refused Anindita's help.

" I'm sitting down, Bi. It feels like being an employer." Anindita again giggled at her own words.

" Aamiin, who knows what you've heard from the angel, Nin. And it could come someday." Bi Teti said to Anindita.

" Don't dream too high ah, Bi. If it falls because of the pain." Anindita chuckles. In the midst of suffering to be pregnant without a husband, she is grateful to be in the middle of a very warm family environment supporting her through all these trials.

Anindita smiled to find the figure of the man carrying plastic food in his hand.

" Of the Assalamualaikum, Nin." Yahya who that afternoon visited Koh Leo's house bought a chocolate cheese martabak for Anindita, thrusting the food to Anindita.

" Waalaikumsalam, Yes. Well, so trouble you, yeah." Anindita felt bad.

" It's okay, Nin. Coincidentally passing, can make iftar later," Yahya said. " Where is your pregnancy, Nin? What complaints?" Yahya watched Anindita's growing belly.

" Thank God, the grandpa's not fussy, really." Anindita stroked her stomach. " Ci Sandra's been good at me all along, yeah." Uninterruptedly Anindita expressed her gratitude for being reunited with the wife of a boss like Sandra.

" What are your plans for the future, Nin?"

Anindita sighs at Yahya's question. Plans ahead? He doesn't know what to plan? Since she was also still confused as to what to do after giving birth to this?

" I don't know, Yeah. Right now I'm just giving up on how Ci Sandra is." That was all Anindita could hope for right now. For him to serve a lifetime in the Koh Leo family will not be able to pay his Budi debt to the Koh Leo family.

" Nin, what if you just marry me?"

Anindita was surprised to hear Yahya's offer.

" You don't joke, yeah." Anindita immediately responded to Yahya's words which she considered only joking.

" I'm serious, Nin. I'm sorry to see you like this." Yahya expressed his concern.

Anindita smiles. " I'm okay, yeah. I'm doing just fine. You don't have to worry about me." Anindita tries to convince Yahya not to worry about her. " Aren't you Nina alone anyway, you'd want your girlfriend to be with you if you married me?" Anindita chuckles trying to melt the atmosphere.

Yahya breathed a moment. " I just want to help you, Nin."

" I appreciate your intentions, yes. But helping me doesn't have to marry me, does it? What would Nina say if you married me? I don't want to ruin your relationship with Nina." Anindita tried to give understanding to Yahya, why he rejected the intentions of his best friend.

Anindita had just finished performing the Dhuha prayer when suddenly her stomach felt very sick and wrapped around. He also felt his hips ache.

Anindita deliberately straightened her legs. He had not had time to open his face, because he really had trouble waking up. Anindita intended to wait for the pain to subside first.

After the tarawih prayer at home Anindita has started to feel her stomach just wrapped around. Even last night he could not sleep because the pain was sometimes suddenly attacked with a duration that is not too long.

" Sshhhh .. "his Anindita felt pain that never subsided even though it had been about fifteen minutes Anindita sat down to feel the prolonged pain.

" Oh my God, what am I? Why does it feel so painful?" Anindita complained while stroking her hip that felt hot and as if it was crumbling all over her bones.

Anindita tried to get up, at least able to approach and ask Bi Teti for help, but to move her strength was not strong.

" O Allah, O Rabbi .. sakiiiitt ..." Tears have flooded her cheeks. " Bi Teti ... Bi ..." Anindita tried to call Bi Teti's name but the one who was called did not come.

" Sir Anin, O Allah ... Why's Anin's mom?" tanya Susi, the niece of Bi Teti who also works at Koh Leo's house. Susi had just intended to hang the clothes she had just washed. He immediately put the bucket he was holding when he saw Anindita crying in a sitting position while holding her stomach and waist.

" Sus, please call Bi Teti," Anindita said at the sight of Lia's arrival.

" ii-yes, Ma. I'll call Aunt first." Susi then ran to call her aunt.

Not long before Bi Teti directly approached Anindita followed by Susi behind him.

" Nin, what's wrong with you?" Bi Teti looked worried.

" Bi, my stomach hurts so much ..." Anindita grimaces.

" You want to give birth, Nin?" ask Bi Teti.

" I don't know, Bi. But it hurts so much" Anindita said.

" That's what, Bi?" susi asked Bi Teti when she saw the liquid that was seeping on Anindita's face.

" O God, Nin. That's amniotic fluid?" Bi Teti was getting panicked. " Sus, hurry up you call Mom, tell her Anin wants to give birth." Bi Teti had Susi call Sandra who this morning went to accompany Ivone to the dentist.

Susi swiftly did as Bi Teti ordered.

" Nin, you calm down. Breathe out slowly."

" Abkkhh ... Oh, my God, sick, Bi. I am not strong ..." Anindita continued to cry due to the rush of pain around her abdomen and hips.

" Bi, I didn't pick up the phone." Susi looked nervous, because she also felt the tension at that time.

" Sus, help you to the Midwife's place. Say the same Midwife who wants to give birth to water her waters have broken. Quick, Sus. Just tell me Ci Sandra told you to." Bi Teti who was also worried about the condition of Anindita finally decided to call a midwife whose house was only fifty meters from Koh Leo's house. " Hurry up you run to his midwife's house!" bi Teti and then Susi immediately ran to the midwife's place.

" Bi, I'm not strong, I'm sick .." Anindita complained.

" Nin, don't talk like that. You Istighfar must be strong." Bi Teti continued to encourage Anindita not to become weak.

" Aaakkkhhh .. Sick O Allah ..." Anindita clutched Bi Teti's arm tightly.

" Bi, it looks like the baby is going to come out .." Aninditia said as if there was no energy.

" Oh God ..." Bi Teti directly lifted and bent Anindita's legs with a position of ang*kang. He then turned his face under Anindita.

" Breathe deeply, exhale slowly. Hold her hips don't lift, don't mee ...."

" sick, Biiiii. Aaakkkhh ...." Anindita groaned loudly cutting Bi Teti's words.

" Oek .. oek .. oek .. oek ...."

Along with the sound of a strong moan Anindita also heard the sound of a baby's loud cry which then directly grabbed Bi Teti with both palms.
