Being a Connecting Mother

Resuming Life

Six months later...

“ You sure will deliver this all by yourself? Let me deliver you when you return from the farm ” persuaded Helena again did not have the heart Adira who had reached the age of seven months was to go carrying a basket full of milk alone.

“ No problem I will go alone, later if waiting for you to come home. We can be late again like yesterday. I don't want to get there when the delivery office is closed, later milk orders are even more late ” explained Adira because over the past six months the milking business owned by Helena developed rapidly until they have made delivery of pure milk to the city, to be sent to another rural area.

“ But I can't bear to let you go alone, later if something happens how ” Helena is still just as anxious, but she also can't leave the milking job at the farm just like that.

“ Take it easy anyways I just bring this, later after arriving at the train then it will not be too heavy again ” reply Adira calm.

Helena clenched her mouth still unwillingly but could do nothing.

“ Hold it soon yes later if I have found someone who wants to work to deliver milk you do not need to do this job again ”

“ Yes I know it ” Adira can only smile at how earnest her best friend is with her promise. But it is not because Helena wants to let Adira still do the work, only until now they have not found people who want to work delivering the milk.

Helena lifts the milk basket over the delman that will take Adira to the train station. Adira rode with little effort as she had to ride the passenger seat of a fairly high delman.

“ Pak will arrive at the station please help lift the milk basket, I will pay more ”, Helena told the delman coachman.

“ Okay if it is safe ” replied the coachman quickly.

Adira waved to Helena as the delman had already started speeding. The village was indeed no vehicle like angkot or rickshaw that could deliver to the station, because the village was still really a pure village from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Even the surrounding residents are also only a few people who have a motorcycle. Usually the residents here will drive a cart tied to their buffalo or cow.

After almost half an hour of travel Adira finally arrived at the station. The coachman moved quickly to help Adira down and then brought the milk basket.

“ Just put it here Sir, the train will still come after 10 minutes. Let me take him later ” Adira does not want to trouble the coachman until he has to wait for the arrival of the train.

“ Gak papa Neng, let the father who lift later where the father love Neng lift this heavy basket. Just relax aja we wait for the train to come ” reply the coachman is soft with his special accent.

“ Ouch...I even trouble the father ” Adira feel bad.

“ Didn't bother at all.” The coachman replied with a smile to Adira.

Adira was grateful at least once her departure train arrived the coachman lifted the basket and found a comfortable seat for her.

“ Thanks a lot Pak ” said Adira sincerely to the coachman.

“ Yes be careful yes Neng ” reply the coachman then get off the car.

Adira enjoyed the trip by looking out the train window, actually lately as milk orders to the city increased she became frequent back and forth to the city.

After arriving at the city station his destination Adira lifted the basket although a little trouble because his enlarged stomach slightly reduced Adira's wiggle room.

“ Huffttt..” hela Adira wipes her sweat when she finally gets off safely from that train.

Then Adira rode the ojek to the shipping office, upon arrival there he just finished some files sending the destination address, after handing over the milk then the work is done.

Because it was used to doing that job for Adira it was no longer a difficult job to do.

Suddenly Adira's phone rang, she immediately grabbed the phone from her handbag and after knowing the name listed there, she answered the call.

“ Hello doctor Derril ” greet Adira first.

“ No, Doc ”

“ Good thing I heard from Helena now you're in town, is the milk delivery done. What if I pick you up on a motorcycle? ” bargain Derril.

“ No need, Doc. I can go home by myself and the work is done. I'll be home soon after this ” reject Adira smooth.

“ Hmm..Well then, you be careful yes on the way. If something happens you immediately tell me I will be there as soon as ”

“ Yes doctor thank you for the offer ” Adira replied then the call was ended by Derril.

Adira can actually be aware of Derril's different treatment and attitude towards him. But he did not want to give hope to the man because his heart was not ready to start or receive a new love.

The focus of Adira at this time is the child she contains, time has passed not the same as when Adira no longer cries for her past. He just chose to continue living.

For him now it is enough that he can live well and happily with Helena while waiting for the birth of her child.

Adira decides to wander around town for a bit, as she thinks she wants to buy some necessities for her literacy preparation.

Adira walks around the shopping mall, looking for the items she wants.

“ It's adorable once ” guman Adira slowly holding a baby hat in her hand.

“ I buy it later I will show Helena, she must like to see this ” girang Adira decided to buy the hat, then she also took some baby clothes, she also took some baby clothes, baby gloves and some cloth diapers for baby.

“ Mother's gestational age how many months? ” asks the cashier to Adira as she hands over her groceries.

“ almost even seven months ” replied Adira.

“ Only two months later the baby will be born, the mother does not want to buy a cloth octopus at all? ” the cashier pointed towards the fabric octopus it was in.

Adira looked while considering again.

“ Mother also needs to buy equipment for the mother herself not only for her baby, tying the stomach with an octopus when just giving birth will help recovery ” explained the cashier.

To be honest Adira did not know about it, but she finally agreed to the words of the cashier and bought two octopus cloths.

“ Thank you for shopping here bu ” said the cashier handed over Adira's groceries after she finished paying for all the groceries.

Adira walked for a while towards the food center as she felt hungry.

“ What should I eat? ” ask Adira speak for herself.

Because it is too focused with the menu listed in front of him Adira does not pay too much attention when several people suddenly pass simultaneously, to make Adira's position waver and he finally fell to make his body hit a little hard on the floor.

“ Akhh...” Ringis Adira feels pain not only in his butt but also his waist.

“ Adira! ”

Adira raised her head hearing someone shouting calling her name. Instantly he saw the person his eyes were perfectly rounded as if he could not believe what he was seeing.
