"Darling, eat first. Let's get it good later." Say Melisa while carrying a tray filled with porridge and meat soup. The soup is very good for energy recovery, so Melisa chose the menu for her favorite daughter-in-law.
"Where's Mas Naren going, Mi?"
"Baby Haneen's morning with Hania, baby."
"So it's sunburned, Mi." Say Ayunda with worry.
"You take it easy, they're doing it as recommended by the doctor."
"Ohhh so, huh? All right, Ayu wants to eat first. It's laper, hehe." Answer the woman and start eating voraciously. He had been starving since then, only it would not taste good if he asked for food.
"Eat a lot, baby."
"Uncle Adam where, Mi?" Tanya Ayunda in between her meals.
"He went to the office early this morning, he said it was not good if he did not go to work again. He'll be back from work here." Clearly Melisa made Ayunda nod her head in agreement. From a long time ago, his uncle was a hardworking figure and always felt bad.
Because of this, Adam is often used by others because of his unpleasant feelings.
"Your uncle is full of positive energy huh.."
"From a long time ago, Uncle was like that, Mi. That is why it is often used by others because they never think negatively about others." Ayunda clearly smiled.
"He's a good man."
"Yes, but I'm sorry. Ayunda said this to Mami, Uncle is a very good person just in the encounter with the wrong person." Ayunda replied with a wry smile. She remembers how her aunt treated Adam when she lived there.
Actually, homework like doing laundry, dishes, doing homework is Adam's job. But once there is Ayunda at home, the task becomes his duty. So, what is the job of her aunt and her child? Footwalls, cutouts, stretches. They are good at spending money from the work of Adam, but for the needs of the man was not noticed at all by his wife.
"Hmm, Mami heard he was already in a hospital specifically for people with depression."
"Yes, Mas Naren is taking care of Aunt's move here." Reply Ayunda with a small smile.
"You still have pain you haven't told Mami, baby?"
"There's a lot, but that's okay. Let Ayu keep it to herself." Answer Ayunda. Right, there's still a lot of pain he's had since he lived with Adam and his wife. But for that one, he'll shut up. She was worried that her husband and family would sue her for what she did to her.
"It's okay, tell me you're ready, baby."
"Yes, Mommy. This is good soup, isn't there any more, Mi?" Tanya Ayunda while grinning. He showed an empty tray, the rice and soup had already entered his stomach.
"Still want to? Yaudah, Mami called Papi for buyin."
"But Baby.."
"Mommy take over, wait a minute, baby."
"Hehe, yes Mommy. Thank you and sorry Ayu ngerepotin Mami."
"No, hon. You never bother anything with Mami, already yes. Mommy take baby first." Melisa. The middle-aged woman also went out of the daughter-in-law's care room. Ayunda himself looked at the ceiling of the room with a small smile.
"Mama, Papa, sorry Ayunda has not had time to visit Mama Papa there. But Mama Papa must have seen Ayu from up there, right? Now, Ayu is a parent. I have two kids now." Ayunda muttered while closing her eyes. All of a sudden, he missed both of his parents.
"Same mom Papa came in Ayu's dream huh later malem? Ayu kangen." He rubbed his chest. I don't know, she always felt pain and tightness in her chest when she remembered her parents. Is he not ready for their departure? No, he already did that. He had accepted the situation from that very day, he lived his days that felt heavy without the presence of his parents.
It was only the guidance of the uncle that made him this loud and strong, without the man, Ayunda may have been desperate for a long time and may even choose to end her own life so much as the trials that come to her alternately.
Shortly afterwards, Narendra and Melisa return to the room with two baby strolers they pushed.
"Darling, Baby Haneen seems to want to suck." Narendra said while giving Baby Haneen to the wife's lap. With pleasure, Ayunda accepted the son and began to breastfeed him slowly.
"Aasshh, just slow down, baby.." Lirih Ayunda, she grimaced as Haneen sucked her milk vigorously.
"Like she's hungry, baby."
"Yes, Mommy." Ayunda answered while breastfeeding her son and rubbed his head and kissed him gently.
"Sleep again, baby." Ayunda held Haneen gently, until finally her son fell back into a deep sleep.
"He's asleep, Mom."
"Let's put her to bed, baby." Narendra. He took Haneen from his wife's lap and put the little baby back in a special cot that the nurse had delivered this morning.
"Darling, replace Baby Hania who wakes up wanting to suck." Said Melisa while holding Hania who looked agitated in her sleep.
"Here, Mi." Ayunda takes over baby Hania from her mother-in-law's embrace. She also breastfed her baby girl slowly, although she had to endure the pain of her baby feeding strongly.
"Hania is jealous of you, huh? Don't be jealous, honey. Mama will be fair to you two, because Mama loves you." Ayunda said, he did the same. Gently rub the head of the baby and kiss the little baby's forehead with the reddish skin.
"Darling.."
"Yes, Mommy. Why?"
"Hania is sleeping again?" Ask the woman. Melisa nodded her head. Melisa took over her granddaughter and put her to bed. Shortly after, Arvino arrives with his wife's meat soup.
"This is the meat soup, Mi."
"Well, it's finally coming too. Let's eat again, baby."
"Lho, did it turn out for Ayu anyway? Papi thinks to Mami." Said Arvino while chuckling.
"Don't the soup use sambel?" Ask Melisa.
"No, Papi said the same seller let his sambel be separated."
"Printers.." Said Melisa while rubbing her husband's hair.
"Yes dong, that's Papi." Proud of Arvino with a smile. In contrast to Narendra who cut his lips when he heard the words of the Papi that was somewhat ridiculous to his ears.
"Let's eat again, baby."
"Thank you, Mommy."
"Yes, equally dear." Melisa. He smiled when he saw Ayunda eating voraciously. Really, seeing nafssu eating his favorite daughter-in-law always made him happy, he always ate voraciously.
"Here sit down, let me bribe."
"Hehe, thank my wife." Narendra said while stroking the wife's head, he also kissed Ayunda's forehead with affection.
"Don't be spoiled, baby. It's a serving for your husband."
"What a hell, Mi. Mas Naren must also be tired of keeping the baby from the early morning." Ayunda. Melisa also resigned and let Ayunda feed Narendra.
The man ate voraciously, occasionally Ayunda also fed herself. After that she returned to feed her husband.
"Bag.."
"Yes, baby."
"When can Ayu go home? Bosen it feels like it's here, hehe."
"Patience huh? Mas afraid that the stitches break again if we maxain go home before the stitches in the anu dry." Narendra said as he grimaced to himself. How can humans live in sewing? Especially in the sensitive part. Just imagining it makes her grieve on her own, then what about Ayunda who feels it?
"Ohh, you have to wait until this stitch is dry first huh, Mas?" Ask Ayunda.
"Yes, baby."
"If you are still in care here, later if anything happens we can ask for help from doctors and nurses." Narendra answered while gently rubbing the top of his head.
"Judah deh, than I will be sick to sew again."
"Patience yes, later when it is healed we go home. You miss the same house?" Ask Narendra.
"Yes, Mum." Ayunda answered with a sweet smile.
The two returned to chatting casually, Arvino and Melisa were also in the room, but they decided to take a break. Ayunda also took a nap, Narendra? He works through a laptop that he accidentally brought from home. Even though he took leave to accompany his wife who gave birth, but the work still had to be completed even though he could not come to the company.
In the afternoon, Adam came with a paperbag that had no idea what it contained. The middle-aged man was still wearing his office boy uniform complete with a hat. The man opened the door and saw Ayunda holding one of his babies, next to him was Narendra who was accompanying his wife. Not far from the two, there are Melisa and Arvino who are babysitting for their grandchildren as well. They fondle her affectionately, kiss her gently and affectionately.
"Well, get up again.." Adam said as he placed the paperbag on the nightstand. Adam opened his hat and stood up to see Ayunda's condition looking much better. Narendra took the little baby out of his wife's arms and took her a little bit away, not that Adam should not look at her but he gave Ayunda time and space to talk to her uncle.
"Yes, it's a little fussy. Maybe the center is sick, hasn't been dislodged." Ayunda.
"Hmm, you've been sleep deprived for a few days, baby?" Adam asked and the woman nodded her head. Indeed, in fact he was a bit difficult to sleep, since the contraction of that day. He could not sleep well, for some reason he did not know the reason either. He no longer felt any pain, but he was still not calm.
"It's the beginning of your struggle to be a mother, baby."
"Yes, Uncle." Reply Ayunda with a small smile.
"But even so, Ayu is happy to have two hearts that mean so much to Ayu." Continue Ayunda again, make Adam smile and then scramble Ayunda's hair gently and anxiously.
"It's a gift for your kids, baby. Sorry the price is cheap, Uncle can not buy expensive items for your children."
"Uncle.."
"Receive it, don't look at the price. Uncle gave this away." Adam's words made Ayunda receive the paperbag and embrace it. He looked at Adam's tired-looking face, the wrinkles on his face illustrating how tired he had been all along.
Ayunda's eyes glazed over, she grabbed the bag and cried. He couldn't stand all this anymore, how grateful he was to Adam. Without that man he would not be able to be what he is today, Adam is the one who has an important role for Ayunda, in his life.
"Uncle, thank you for giving gifts to the children of Ayu. Ayu never bothered about the price or anything, Ayu was already very happy with all this. Thank you, Uncle." Say Ayunda while crying.
Adam smiled, he grabbed the body of his nephew and held it tightly. He rubbed Ayunda's back head gently, the man also closed his eyes. She did not want to cry, but her atmosphere was very supportive. He loved Ayunda so much that he tried to buy a small gift for his nephews.
"Uncle, thank you for loving Ayu since the departure of Mama and Papa. Ayunda is very grateful to Uncle, if only Uncle did not love and give Ayu the power of the day, maybe Ayu would not be here now." Ayunda said in the arms of the uncle.
"You're still uncle's proud son, baby." Sluggishly. Right, Adam already thinks Ayunda is like his own biological child. But apparently it caused a lot of envy in Mona who made her grow into a stubborn and unruly child. He was also mean to Ayunda, when in fact he was innocent of any kind.
But for Mona, Ayunda was always guilty of having made Adam's love divided. Even Adam looks much more loving Ayunda compared to Mona who incidentally is his biological daughter. It was from there that Mona's hatred began to grow in addition to the support of her mother, making her even more evil. But Ayunda is not, she is a kind girl and she happily forgives Mona's mistakes without even asking.
"Uncle just gives you advice, the rest depends on yourself, baby. Uncle is proud that you can accomplish all this now."
"It's all thanks to Uncle, thank you."
"No, it's thanks to yourself, son." Adam Say. He kissed the top of Ayunda's head gently. Narendra who saw the scene rubbed his eyes that suddenly just watered.
"Don't cry, you have two kids too." Chirps Arvino while smiling mockingly towards her son.
"Ckk, just a flickering doang earlier. Where am I crying? I'm a real man, proof of having two kids." Narendra replied, replacing him who smiled mockingly towards the Papa.
"But you don't want to make your mother sick, so you only have one child."
"Haha, excuse."
"So you want a sister? Okay, Papi's got it."
"Eehh, don't want to!"
"Hahaha, after all Mami will not want to get pregnant again." Arvino replied while chuckling. They were old, so it was impossible to have any more children. So, just one child. One child alone is dizzying especially his child like Narendra, especially if he has a sister?
"So, do you want to add a plan or hopefully?" Arvino asked Narendra, his son.
"What, Pi?"
"Child, would you like to add more or please?"
"Ckkk, two is enough Papi."
"Well, two kids is better.." Arvino said with a smile. Naren also has the same reason as the father, he does not want to see his wife in pain again like yesterday. The one yesterday he still remembers very well how panicked when he saw the state of his wife, as much as possible he did not want to add a baby anymore. Two children are enough, only the future lahir has discussed the child again?
"It's like a family planning ad, isn't it?" Narendra asked with a small laugh.
"Yes, two grandchildren is enough for Papi." Arvin answered with a smile. Two grandchildren from Naren are more than enough, he does not want to follow the panic like yesterday. Not to mention the pain he felt because he had panic when Melisa was going to give birth first. So, her decision of two kids is better.
