Between Me Memories And Time

Pregnancy of First Child

Aruni tries to enjoy his days as a wife, welcoming the husband, cooking, and doing all the household chores.

The needs of life begin to feel, helping mothers pay for electricity, motor installments and for everyday, will not be enough if they do not work.

Andra is currently working in a clinic with a salary that is not much, just enough to pay the installment of the motorbike and send money to his younger siblings who are still in college. To help Andra Aruni try to apply to work at a clinic and try to complain about the fate of registering as a CPNS.

"Alhamdulillah, I am accepted" cried Aruni excitedly.

"What's up?" Andra asked

"I received CPNS in Kulon Progo Regency" replied Aruni, "June started to enter"

"I'm also applying for a non-permanent employee contract at Kulon Progo, hopefully accepted".

Andra was also accepted to work as a non-permanent doctor, they worked in an adjacent place,

"It's better to find a rented house anyway"

"It's up to you Runi"

Andra and Aruni get a small house on the edge of the rice field, complete with views of the yellowing rice and the sound of the neighboring duck beside the house.

Almost a year married, Aruni and Andra have not been blessed with children, household problems usually occur only because of Aruni's work that must go down the mountain to posyandu.

Andra is often angry if she knows Aruni must leave posyandu in the mountains, maybe because it is too dear to Aruni.

But Andra's anger makes Aruni feel unloved, like being restrained and not given a solution.

Maybe because it also became a stressor for Aruni, and resulted in not having children, he said,

"Tomorrow shall we punish?, afraid that there is seauatu" Aruni pinta told Andra.

Andra agrees to Aruni's invitation.

The next day Aruni and Andra took the time to check,

"Antrian number 5, still a long time like it", Aruni sat quietly waiting for the doctor to come.

"Mother Aruni.."

Aruni and Andra went into the reception room

"So we're afraid of the primary infertile doctors"

"Owh may be a health person who knows, let me check", the doctor did an ultrasound examination on Aruni

"It's okay, all good"

Aruni felt that the doctor's explanation was lacking and went home with a dissatisfied heart.

At the end of this month it seems Aruni is late menstruation and blood spots come out abnormally. Aruni tried to do a urine test and the result turned out to be positive. Yes Aruni is positively pregnant.

Aruni was happy with her pregnancy, as if to be given a friend. Andra is like that too.

Longing to go home to her mother, Aruni invites Andra to come home, but unexpectedly Andra is angry because of her invitation, and,

"Why did you come home, home work just ain't done asking to go home".

Hearing Andra angry, the sense of longing for her parents increased.

Aruni's parents who also missed his son's presence took the time to come to Aruni's house. Aruni told his mother ;

"Mom if later I don't come home, mother who came here yes, I'm not gamau go home but Andra is often angry if I ask to go home."

"Yes, you don't have to worry" replied the mother.

Mom and Dad just briefly looked, both of them went home after the asar prayer.

The time of the birth of the first child is getting closer, Aruni even got the news that he had to undergo training, Aruni confused what to say to Andra.

In various ways Aruni assures Andra that he must come along. Andra reluctantly gave Aruni permission.
