Narendra and Mark were talking outside on the terrace. All the men there were flanking his cigarettes, except Narendra. He feels he does not want to smoke at this time, even though he has two babies who must be kept away from cigarettes and smoke.
"Master doesn't smoke?" Ask Mark. Narendra shook his head.
"No, I don't like cigarettes for now."
"Yes, you don't smoke but your shirt has cigarette smoke, Naren." Arvin said, the man exhaled his cigarette smoke until the white smoke flew freely.
"I'm taking a shower and I need to get dressed first, Pi."
"Hmm, yeah." Reply Arvin again.
"Master, I noticed your face looks gloomy like that. What's up?" Mark asked, from earlier he noticed the man's face, it did look sparkling but his face was bent. I don't know what happened to that man, nobody knows. Only Narendra knew what made him show his face like this.
"Naren was again confused, how can he hold fast for forty days, Mark." Chirps Darren while smiling mischievously towards her granddaughter. While Narendra who heard that just exhaled his breath violently. Darren's words were right, he was confused as to what to do without his night rations.
"Why forty days?" Mark asked with a frowning forehead. He knows in the niphas terms that women will experience after giving birth and that in a long time, forty days there are even longer.
"Yes, the puerperium is indeed forty days, there are even some that are longer." Arvino said with a wicked smile. The father and son compactly teased Narendra who was scowling because he was upset because he could not get his night rations.
"Is that so?"
"Yes there is, just imagine that nine months stomach does not menstruate because of pregnancy right, continue to give birth must be a lot of dirty blood, yes it comes out for forty days until clean. Sometimes there are more than forty days, depending on how the condition of his body." Arvino again.
He remembers well, he was just as upset as Narendra. As a normal man, he definitely felt like he was going to die right then and there for not getting his rations. Arvin also looks limp and uninspired, not as energetic as he does not eat alone. But after forty days, his wife's puerperium was completed, he also did not immediately raise her because he was sick when he saw the sensitive area of the wife who still looks his stitches, which is still visible, it made itself grieve.
Finally, Arvin fasted again until approximately two months, so in total he fasted for three more months. It was when he did it for the first time after a long time, that Arvin did it very slowly, fearing that he would hurt the wife's sensitive area. But it turned out to be much more delicious but at that time he did not lose control, he remembered that his wife needed tenderness when doing it so as not to hurt the wife.
"But what was it for forty days?" Ask Narendra lirih.
"Not really, work is also lazy. You see the rations that night were vitamins and encouragement yes."
"Continue?"
"There is no canal, yes Papi is patient even though often urgency in the office because it is not channeled it." Arvino replied with a soft laugh.
"Now you're old, no, Pi?" Narendra asked, alternating now his son who looks tempting the father.
"Doyan, just frequent gout." Replied Arvin while chuckling softly.
"Still like what old.."
"At least half an hour, what do you want?" Asked Arvino again while looking at his son's face, Narendra himself had laughed loudly at the father's words.
"Hahaha, it's usual dong, Pi."
"First yes, Papi fasted for three months more." Said the middle-aged man while taking a biscuit and then eating it.
"Three months?"
"Yes, three months." Arvino replied while showing three fingers.
"For a long time, he said only forty days doang. Forty days means one month and ten days." Narendra replied in disbelief. He did not believe that he should fast as long as possible.
"Hmm, you think Papi could wear your Mami while he's got a sewing wound on it?" Arvino asked which made Narendra speechless for a moment. True also what his Papi said, will he have the heart to do that later?
"Once it's clean, you think the wound will be completely healed and won't hurt? If your thoughts are like that, you're wrong, Naren."
"Then?"
"Your mother said, doing it the first time after giving birth, it hurts a lot more than when she first did it. You believe?" Arvino asked that made Narendra and Mark round their eyes, to be honest they were surprised by this.
But, Arvino himself is experienced in that, right? So it was impossible if he lied about such a sensitive matter like this.
"Really, Papi?"
"Ask your mother if you don't believe Papi's words."
"Yes, Naren will ask himself if I am not ashamed." Narendra replied, chuckling softly.
"Pake is ashamed of everything, if you want to know yes ask, do not be ashamed." Darren.
"But why ask your Papi?" Ask Adam, finally he also spoke up after a long time just silence and listen to this useless chat. If married men gather like this, is the discussion always this way? Even the absurd things are discussed.
"His face is a bit less convincing, Uncle." Narendra's reply made Arvino look upset at his son.
"You're really the same Papi himself."
"Hehe, kidding Pi time."
"But that's serious huh, Pi?" Ask Narendra again.
"Of course seriously, Papi fasts for three months. It was also fitting the first time, Papi who grieved himself. But.."
"Enak you know.."
"H-aahh?"
"Seriously, it tastes a lot better compared to the first time." Arvino answered, making both Narendra's eyes sparkle.
"Well, then Narendra will be patiently waiting to get it."
"Ckkk, just looked glum, upset, lemes yes. Now it's only fitting to know that it's better to get excited." Ledek Darren made all the men there laugh.
But this time, replace Mark who looks silent. Honestly, she is currently in the midst of fear and worry that envelops her heart, especially after she finds out that Maya's pregnancy is too risky.
"What's the matter, Mark?" Ask Arvino.
"Your face is bent like that, but your wife is not yet the time to give birth, right?" Narendra asked as well, making the man sigh heavily.
"Can I confide in here? It feels a little heavy if I have to keep her alone." Lirih Mark while bowing his head.
"Of course, we'll listen. Wanna confide in what?" Ask Darren.
"At Maya's sixth gestation, the doctor suggested that I think about saving one of them."
"meaning?" Ask everyone at once, even making Mark surprised by their colleagues.
"When we first checked the contents, the doctor had given bad news. He said there's a problem with Maya's uterus that makes it hard for a fetus in the womb to survive." Ogre Mark.
"Good, is that right?" Asked Arvino and slowly, Mark nodded his head because it was his reality.
"I got good news and bad news at once. Good news because Maya finally got pregnant after our struggle promil and trying to get around for the sake of momongan, but just now we want to be happy even a new problem that came to us."
"At that time, doctors instead suggested that Maya abort the fetus because it could endanger his life if it was allowed to grow in there. But Maya insisted to keep our child, until finally the doctor resigned and gave the condition that you have to do regular gynaecology every month, until finally, the doctor resigned and gave conditions that you have to do routine examinations every month, even three times in a month because Maya's constantly bleeding." Clearly Mark was at length, there was a sense of tightness in his chest as he told the bitter thing he was feeling at the moment.
"Mk.." Lirih Narendra's. He did not know that the man was in the midst of a very severe problem, let alone this was related to his two soul mates. Though he always met with Mark every day, but he did not know that Mark had this kind of problem.
"I once felt down, but when I saw Maya's stubbornness, it made me inevitably have to be strong as well. If I am weak, then who will strengthen and support Maya? I felt very sick and scared at the same time." Lirih Mark makes Narendra could not bear to see this man who has long worked with him in a state of decline like this.
"What broke me the most was when the doctor told me I had to choose one of them. But I cannot, if I may be selfish, I want both. I want my wife to stay by my side until I am old, but I also want to have children to accompany me in old age even though she will have a life of each later."
"Mark, believe. Everyone will find a way out, pray fervently. God is generous, he would not be able to give such a big problem without a solution. Remember, skyline prayer is far more potent. Even when doctors diagnose it, nothing can go against God's will, Mark." Darren's words gave the man some encouragement.
"I always do it, even I cry when I finish worshiping. But I'm afraid, will it reduce my reward?"
"Reducing it or not is the above business, not our business. Our job is only to carry out his orders, if in the door to worship him, do it. The rest is not to think, want goodness and charity worship we received that we do not know, the important thing is we have done the best and in accordance with his orders." Darren said wisely.
At the age that is old at this time, it is not necessary to doubt about his policy, he has experienced a lot of salt acid this life. He had experienced the same despair as Mark, but in fact he still survives to this day. He must be proud of himself, if only he were tired and chose to give up, surely he would not be able to see his grandchildren and great-grandchildren happy and present in the midst of their families.
"Thank you, Mr. Darren. After I tell you all this, it feels better here." Answer the man.
"Next time, don't mind your own problems. You can tell us or just Naren, because he's the one who meets you a lot, right?"
"Yes, Sir."
"Excite, don't give up, Mark. You have to be sure that this is all a way out." Darren said again as he patted Mark on the shoulder slowly.
"Yes, Sir. Heaven's Path prayers are more efficacious yes, humans can only diagnose but if a miracle comes and turns out to save both, no one knows." Adam's words made Mark nod his head.
"Excite, young papa."
"Hahaha, young papa. I am still a candidate, said Mr. Naren who has become a young Papa." The man replied, making Narendra just a whimper.
"Bag.." Shouted a familiar-sounding voice from within the mansion.
"Yes, baby." Narendra answered and then moved from his seat, he entered and found that Baby Hania was crying because she could not be calmed by anyone.
"Loh, Hania why? It's like that kind of pain."
"Don't know, he can't cry. Try it on you're fat."
"Get into the room first change clothes, smell of cigarette smoke."
"Jude!" Ayunda. Narendra ran to the room and changed his clothes as fast as lightning. After finishing, Narendra came back out of the room and saw that Hania was still crying there. Narendra took the baby girl from her mother's lap.
"Cupcupcup, Hania why, baby? This is Papa, don't cry dong.." Narendra said, holding the little baby's body. Sure enough, in just a few minutes Hajia's cries slowly began to subside and finally he fell asleep again in the lap of the father.
"Well, what Mami said, Hania would just be quiet if it was Papa." Melisa made Ayunda smile. Though earlier they had panicked because Hania did not shut up as well, even more loudly crying her. To the extent that baby Haneen must be moved first to a place a little far away so that he does not follow crying as well.
True said Maya earlier, will berabe his business if both of them cry later. The house will feel much more crowded because of the presence of two very cute babies. Babies bring warmth to this family.
