ANINDITA, A Tale of the Past

You Can Be Silent No

Anindita stared at the gravestone that read her husband's name. It felt like she still could not believe that her husband had left her so quickly.

" Our child will soon be born. I always pray that she has the tenderness of her father." Anindita wiped away the clear liquid that was condensing in her eyeballs. " I'm sad you didn't get to see our son, Mas."

Tita who was next to Anindita immediately rubbed her employer's back. Tita is tasked with Ricky guiding Anindita, while Mr. Syaiful is assigned to cooperate with Ramadan. While Ricky himself raised the body of Mama Arya with both arms. Ricky understood as a mother, Mama Arya would want to see the grave of her son.

" Arya, Mama's coming, son. Mama will accompany Anin during childbirth later. You calm down there, son. Because Anin and the kids are already in the right person." Mama Arya was talking to Arya.

After they finished reciting the prayers, now they sprinkle rose petals and jasmine and put a bouquet of roses and white lily near the navela. Then Anindita went first with Tita, Ramadhan and Mr. Syaiful left the tomb of Arya.

" Arya sir, may you calm down there. I will take care of Anin, the children and also Mother Fatma as best I can" Ricky said before he finally stepped away from Arya's grave.

Whether this is how many times Anindita had to go back and forth to the bathroom to make it difficult to sleep because the pain in the back and waist felt stronger.

Anindita was wide-eyed as she looked at the flecks in her pants. He then returned to his room to wake Tita up. Anindita walked slowly with her hands rubbing her waist as the contractions she felt began to intensely afflict her.

Anindita picked up her phone before finally sitting on the edge of the bed. He's looking for Tita's contacts inside her phone.

About five minutes he made the call to his ART but his phone call was not picked up. While Cika is on leave because facing UTS on his campus makes him have to concentrate in his lessons so permission does not work.

Anindita wanted to walk outside her room towards Tita's room, but her pain did not allow her to go far. He also could not contact Mama Arya because of the condition of Mama-in-law was paralyzed.

Because Anindita had no choice because Tita did not also pick up a phone call from her, Anindita tried to contact Ricky.

No more than a minute Anindita waited, Ricky had already picked up a phone call from Anindita.

" Hello, what's wrong, Anin? Do you want to give birth?" ask Ricky quickly. Because at this time the clock has shown at two in the morning, no wonder if Ricky feels anxious if Anindita calls him because it was felt because she wanted to give birth.

" Can you please help me wake up Tita? I called him but didn't pick up his phone. Ssshhh ..." Anindita's groaning was heard Anindita said to Ricky.

" I'm going there now! Tut .. tut .. tut ..." It sounded in Anindita's ear if Ricky instantly turned off his phone call.

And just a few minutes Ricky had entered Anindita's room.

" We're going to the hospital now." Ricky immediately raised Anindita's body with his hand.

" But Mama, Ma'am Tita ..." Anindita asks that her mother-in-law and Tita also come with her.

" Tita will be here accompanying Mother Fatma and Rama."

" But ...."

" It's midnight, pity if they have to come with us." Ricky came out and took Anindita from her room. " Ta, Tita ...!" Ricky shouted in front of Tita's room while Anindita knocked on Tita's room.

" I'm going to Mama first" Anindita said.

Finally Ricky brought Anindita into Mama Arya's room.

" What's up, Anin? Is it felt?" Mama Arya who seemed to hear the commotion outside was now sitting on the edge of her bed.

" Sir, put me down first." Anindita asks Ricky to let her down until now Anindita sits on the edge of her mother-in-law.

" Ma, pray for Anin so that the birth process is smooth, Anin also apologizes to Mama if there are actions Anin who hurt Mama." Anindita kisses Mama Arya's hand. Anindita also asked for prayers from Mama Arya and also with sincerity to apologize for the mistake that might intentionally or accidentally hurt Mama Arya's heart.

" There's nothing to forgive, Anin. You're Mama's daughter-in-law who's better than Mama's own kids. Mama wishes you a smooth delivery. Healthy and happy Mom and baby." Mama Arya rubbed Anindita's cheeks which looked very tired.

" Mom, sorry I didn't hear the phone call." Tita who had woken up went straight into Mama Arya's room.

" It's okay, Ma'am." said Anindita.

" Tita, you please take care of Ms. Fatma. Tomorrow morning you take Miss Fatma and Rama to the hospital, ask for Mr. Syaiful's delivery!" ricky orders Tita.

" Would you give birth now?" ask Tita

" You better take her to the hospital now, son. Poor Anin ..." Mama Arya tells Ricky to take Anindita to the hospital immediately.

" Okay, Mom." Ricky raised Anindita's body with both arms.

" Anin's leaving, Ma. Ariston ..." Anindita.

" Waalaikumsalam's. Tell Mr. Syaiful not to speed, son." Mama Arya had a message before Ricky passed from Mama Arya's room because Ricky did ask to be delivered by Mr. Syaiful.

***

Ricky watched Anindita sitting next to him seem to be enduring the pain. He could imagine that even in the past when giving birth to Ramadan, Anindita experienced the same thing as she sees today.

" Shhh ...."

Ricky brought his body closer to Anindita and then wrapped his left hand to Anindita's shoulder while his right hand immediately grasped Anindita's hand to make Anindita gasp. But due to her growing pain she doesn't care about anything Ricky does to her.

" Athaghfirullahal enzyme ..." Anindita to beristighfar in order to withstand contractions that are increasingly frequent.

" Sir, can it be a bit quick no?" Ricky asked Mr. Syaiful to drive the car a bit fast.

" Ssshh .. don't speed with the car, sir." Anindita forbids Mr. Syaiful from following Ricky's orders.

" Oh God ..." Anindita clutched tightly onto Ricky's hand that was holding her.

" Sir, please hurry up a little!"! Ricky again ordered Mr. Syaiful no matter the prohibition issued by Anindita earlier.

" Well, sir." said Mr. Syaiful.

" Astaghfirullahal adzim, O Allah .. sakiiettt ..." Anindita sobbed because of her contract.

" Is the baby coming out now?" Ricky was panicked because Anindita looked pale with her eyes closed and a clear liquid started dripping down her cheek. " Abueh ...."

" Anin, can you still wait until the hospital? Don't get out in the car. I cannot help someone who is going to give birth. Hold on for a second, about ten minutes we get to the hospital. So you're patient in a minute, yeah."

" You can be quiet, no?! I am contracting!" hardik Anindita because when she felt pain due to the encouragement of the baby. Ricky instead rambles on advising him to be patient and to hold back from getting the baby out in his belly while it's in the car.
