Under the rain a man walked in a hurry to get home. He thought of his son who was alone in his hut, the wind was very strong, he was afraid of anything happening with his son there. Because the condition of the house is not solid anymore. The house with the wall of the board sometimes leaked here and there when heavy rain like now.
"Yu.. Come, Assalamu'alaikum.." Can't go in right away. Door locked. He looked inside from the hollow wooden window. His son walked near the door.
"Wa'alaikumsalam sir.. Enter sir.. The rain was so heavy, sorry Ayu locked the door, sir." Ayu immediately closed the door after her father entered the house.
"Yes Yu. It's okay, "Straight grabbed a towel to dry his hair.
"Sir, why not wait for the rain to stop. I don't have an umbrella, I don't bring a bike either.. My workplace is far away too.. I'm sure you're cold, Ayu made tea sir." Ayu pityed to see his father's pale lips, the palm even wrinkled with coldness.
"Not to Yu. In the kitchen there are many tiles that leak. The rain still falls. Here aja. Have you eaten yet Yu?" Tanya Teguh who finished changing clothes.
Ayu quiet. His eyes glazed over seeing his father take out a black plastic crackle containing a pack of rice inside. Unmindful no matter his soaked body, he was more worried if at home Ayu was frightened because of the number of deafening lightning. Unconcerned not to care about his hungry stomach screaming for fill, he is more concerned with his son who has either eaten or not. Ayu has no power to hold haru. He's always that semelow.
"Yu.. It's in the eating. It was cold, yes.. But, not stale. Take a spoon first.." Struggling towards the kitchen.
Arriving at the kitchen Teguh sighed softly, the kitchen was like an impromptu catfish pond. Lots of water there. It looks like some basin placed just under the leaking tile, it must be Ayu who did it. But, that doesn't help.. The kitchen is more like a broken ship now.
"Tomorrow the real roof tile is Yu.. In the kitchen more and more tiles are leaking. Good thing your room didn't leak Yu.." Take a quick look at her baby's room.
"I don't eat, eh yes.. His spoon. I forgot.." Firmly put a spoon next to the rice with the balado chicken side dish.
"Why Yu?" Ask Firmly. His hands rubbed his son's back. The back is shaking. Ayu crying.
"Lho.. Wh why? How crying? You came home to camp, huh? Sorry Yu.. He also hastily returned home. You know you must be scared at home alone, want to ride a friend father who is usually here it. his motorbike has been sold. Sorry Yu.." Strongly feel guilty.
"Sir.. Ayu is not crying because she is afraid at home.. I'm sad with dad.. You must be cold, you must be hungry.. Mr.. This is the father who ate yes, Ayu had already eaten, Mbah kung was here. Beliin Ayu meatballs, you eat yes sir.. I don't want my father to get sick. Sir, your hand is now very high..." Ayu is still shedding tears.
Firmly stunned. That attention was his son to him. Stomach ringing. Strong smile softly.

Shopio.. The mother of one child is trying to put her child in a sling. The baby was incessantly crying. Shopiah until frustration. There were various ways he did but his son did not go to sleep or stop his crying.
"Duuuuh Shopi, your son why is it so fussy? It's cake to be put on!!"
It's been two days that Shopiah, Wibi and their son have been staying at Wibi's parents' house. And during that time, Shopiah's children often cry.
"This is also while being carried by the mother, do not know why kok nangis continue." Even to tie his hair alone Shopiah did not have time because his son needed extra attention.
"Mana mas Wibi has not returned.. It was a shame" Shopiah said again.
"How to feel at home if it's right to go home from work see his wife like wewe sombel never sidelined. Shirt smells not play, boy cries. Wibi is coming home tonight! Don't be a wife!" Shopiah's in-law, who is Wibi's mother, has always been unfriendly to her.
"Mom.. I haven't had a bath yet, let alone a shower.. Just to eat, not to be able to. Not a single bit of rice goes into the stomach. Sakti crying continues, I also know for myself right." Still carrying her son, Shopiah tried to tie her hair so as not to get too messy.
"Continue what? Eat eat, shower, shower! How spoiled really, want to be fed that? Wanna be bathed? Dream!!" Her father-in-law.
For a woman who has had a child for the first time, she has not been able to adjust to her new status. Who had woken up bathing, cleaning the house, cooking, washing to other household chores can be handled easily but, when having a baby.. Everyone needs an adjustment.
They will call themselves for their children. To eat alone, a mother does not let her baby down from the sling because it does not have the heart with the cry of the child while away from the arms of her mother. In the early months of childbirth, young mothers are susceptible to baby blues syndrome, a mental health disorder experienced by postpartum women. This disorder is characterized by the appearance of mood changes, such as excessive grief and sadness.
"Mom.. I did not ask to be fed, nor was I asked to be taken.. But, please replace the sling Sakti for a moment. That's also mommy won't. Usually Wibi mas who do not ask for help, but two days of this Wibi mas work at dawn home abis isya.." Shopiah complained.
"Oowh so there you are my son like babu? I work yes, take care of your son too, the job of the man is Shop work! It's delicious you are.. Just make a whole call."
Not wanting to deal with the mother-in-law longer, Shopiah went into the room. Crying him there.
