Demians
CHAPTER 29 - Rico and Zio
Shortly after giving birth, I had bleeding because my condition dropped postpartum. Fatigue due to me forcing to give birth to twins normally which is faster than time is a factor I have bleeding. During my total bedrest, both of my babies received ASI from what I pumped. I was sad because they had to delay drinking ASI directly. I was only able to meet and breastfeed them in person four days after giving birth.
Bian faithfully stood by me in the hospital. Our parents, Sarah, Tisha, and Luna took turns accompanying Bian to accompany me. Bian and I agreed not to accept visits from outsiders because Bian wanted me to focus on my recovery. Finally Jihan, Ines, Alfi, and Devan will visit me after me and my two babies are discharged from the hospital.
After 10 days in the hospital, I was finally able to bring my two babies back to the apartment. I was moved to see my family and friends in the apartment preparing a surprise to welcome the presence of our new family members.
One by one, Bian and I received congratulations. The twins were like the stuff that was passed around here and there because everyone in my apartment was scrambling to carry it.
“ini mah Bian mininya version.gak face, attitude, photocopy Bian this very…ck kasian very lo Dem just menggumbang color of his skin doang” I sneer words Alfi mocking me when he held one of my babies.
“ya good lah if my child skin is bright.so you can see Mas Bian version bright” laughter rang out when I responded to Alfi's remark.
“Tante Demi..whose baby's name is?” gabby asked after she had kissed my baby that Devan was carrying. I glanced at Bian who was sitting next to me, I nodded my head as Bian looked at me.
Alfi and Devan instantly moved the twins back into my and Bian's lap when they found out we were going to announce the names of our two love-birds.
“well, here me and Demi will announce the names of our two babies. First for the baby in my lap.” Bian took a breath, “we will name him Enrico Alfariel Demian, while the one in Demi's lap will be named Enzio Alfarabi Demian. Both have the same meaning, namely the first child born as a leader later. Me and Demi deliberately did not distinguish the meaning of their names, just looking for different names with the same meaning. For Demian to say, Demi and I agreed to take it from both our names, Demi and Bian”.
“so call Rico and Zio?” jihan asked after hearing Bian announce our son's name.
“iya..the call is Rico and Zio if you like. I release you guys call first name or middle name for them” I replied. Eventually everyone started calling Rico and Zio nicknames for the twins.
“Dem...What are their differences?” ines asked while holding Rico, while Zio was being carried by papa.
“try to see Zio deh” Ines follow my instructions to see Zio who occasionally squirms in papa's lap.
“kalo Zio it likes to squirm his body occasionally. You could say it is more expressive. If Rico is really a henchman. But if you cry, meet Rico rather than Zio. You will not be able to find physical differences because they are so identical. I as her birth mother was often mistaken about where Rico and Zio were. Maybe later from the difference in his eyes. Usually if the physical is similar, the difference in the eyes”, I explained.
“trus let's not forget how?? If fitting they wriggle his body together how?” ask Jihan.
“ya for a while we different his clothes. Later Mas Bian want to buy an initial bracelet of their name so do not forget” replied me. “but there is one real difference where the only one who knows I”
“apa?” ines and Jihan asked at the same time.
“Rico if nyusu want on the right, while Zio on the left. Mas Bian was not aware of it” whispered me that made Ines and Jihan round her mouth.
“eh look baby Rico opened his eyes” said Jihan suddenly who made me and others turn our eyes towards the baby who was in the arms of Ines.
I did see Rico open his eyes, but suddenly the look on his face slowly changed and he started to make a sob. I immediately took Rico out of Ines' hands because I understood his crying signified his thirst.
“adududu..anak mama haus ya....cup cup cup...” I started to cradle her as her crying gets louder. I rushed her into my room.
“mas beware Zio not to follow the cry too. I haven't pumped ASI because” ordered me before closing the room door.
I immediately revealed my clothes and removed the internal buttons that are special for breastfeeding. Rico's cry slowly subsided after finding what he was looking for. While waiting for Rico to finish, I looked for an ASI pump to pump my other one.
I was confused to find the existence of my ASI pump because I had not had time to compile the items from the hospital. I haven't found an ASI pump yet, Bian followed into the room carrying a crying Zio.
“sayang..mas and others gabisa nenangin Zio this” Bian looks panicked when holding Zio because his crying never stops, even his face reddened by crying too long.
“already here Zio I just together, because Rico just drank too. This mas please help to set his position” Bian help me to adjust the position of Rico and Zio who are put to sleep on the pillow, while I also set my position so that I can breastfeed comfortably.
“iya dear...cup cup” cup I immediately pulled out my other one quickly. Finding what he was looking for, Zio instantly devoured my greedy even to the point of sound as his mouth sucked mine.
“anak mama thirsty yes.maafin mama ya have not had time to pump ASI for you” I rubbed slowly Zio cheeks that still have her tears. Rico looks calm beside him, not disturbed by his brother's cries because he is too focused on his activities. I smiled seeing those who were very greedy to drink ASI. Fortunately I have no problems with ASI, I am grateful to be able to produce a lot for their intake.
“sayang..maafin mas ya” said Bian suddenly while I was enjoying my breastfeeding activity.
“sorry because what mas?” many wonder.
“because mas has not been able to control emotions in nurturing them. Honest when he saw them crying, he immediately panicked and confused what to do to stop his crying. Though actually mas know what to do, but the mind and body mas as if not synchronous” Bian look guilty when pouring out his heart.
“gapapa mas.the name is also again the transition period into new parents. I also sometimes feel that way, but as much as possible I don't seem to panic in front of them. Slowly we learn together ya” replied I respond to his outpouring of heart.
“thank you dear.in the future we struggle together to face the changes in our routine with them. I love you mama Rico and Zio” said Bian while kissing my forehead.
“I love you too his papa Rico and Zio”
*****
Maybe they are waiting for their return? Yesterday Bian contacted me if he was going to arrive after the issue because he had to finish some business at the factory. Usually it is Bian's schedule to bribe the twins' dinner because Bian is always home at 5 pm.
Since I returned to Kediri with Rico and Zio, Bian always came home from work on time even as he could finish his work early to be able to quality time with the twins. Maybe because since I was pregnant I've always had cravings about things related to Bian, Rico and Zio look closer to his papa. They spend more time with me every day.
I am currently enjoying my role as a full-time housewife. Since I handed over the responsibility of the cake shop to Luna, I only monitored her progress once a month from the report sent via e-mail by her. Previously Bian had decided if I would be at home until the age of Rico and Zio two years, then I was allowed to help manage the operation of his store. Bian did not hinder my desire to continue working despite having children, as long as I still prioritize the needs of Rico and Zio also did not forget my obligations as a wife.
My transition from being a career woman to being a housewife turned out to be a little difficult for me. Even Hera's mom intervened to help me nurture Rico and Zio while Bian was at work. I still can't schedule my activities at home. Bian did hire a housekeeper to help me in taking care of the house, but it did not necessarily make me focus only on taking care of the children. I am the type of person who put cleanliness and neatness together, not fully giving responsibility to the symbol to take care of the house. Some affairs that I cannot entrust to others remain my primary responsibility.
“loh dear...this is the kids why don't you bribe his dinner?” ask Bian who has returned home from work. I finally left Rico and Zio who did not want to eat dinner by sitting them in a baby chair while holding their toys while waiting for me to prepare dinner for me and Bian who had been neglected for taking care of the twins.
“got know..pusing me mas. They just spray their food. Maybe they know this time that it's their papa nyuapin clock. Yaudah I just stay cooking.ini aja dinner for us not ready loh because of daritadi I was busy persuading them to eat” my nagel because it was already upset with my messy schedule. I am the type of perfectionist, always making a schedule for the activities I do. Bian, Rico, and Zio also made an agenda so I could monitor their activities directly.
Bian finally came out of the kitchen not responding to my nagging. Bian already knows my habits that will continue to talk at length to vent emotions and will be silent by itself if you are satisfied. I did dare to babble a lot if there was only Bian.
“papa clean first yes boys.later we have dinner together” said Bian while walking towards our room. I did forbid Bian to touch the twins after work and get him used to cleaning up.
In less than 10 minutes Bian had returned to the dining room to meet the twins. I also started moving food from the kitchen to the dining table.
“you know yes if papa comes home late.mama you guys until nagging because you guys gamau eat before papa rouse” I look up to hear Bian's words that tease me. As I thought, they finally wanted to swallow the food when they found out Bian was feeding him.
“pa...pa...pa...” Bian and I looked up at the sound of the twins.
“their first wordq!!!” bian and I at the same time.
*****
“HUAAA THIS IS NOT FAIR..” I shouted protest.
“patience dear...” said Bian who tried to calm me.q
“aku who is pregnant, painstakingly menggahirin.eh because his face looks like all of you. They were close to their father instead of me spending more time with them. Trus now.they even called the word 'papa' for his first speech. I'm jealous masss...” I completely vaporized my emotions in totality today.
I see a seductive looking Bian in my eyes right now. A smile rose on my face as I knew what I had to do to temper my emotions. I slowly moved my position to sit on her lap.
“i am angry you know mas same you.you have made the twins sided with kamu” said me while moving my index finger on his chest while still putting on a pouting expression. Bian knew that I wanted him to vent my emotions.
“yuk us to the room if you want to vent your anger the same mas” proposed Bian while holding back his passion that began to appear due to the touch I gave. I shook my head to reject his proposal.
“but here cold you know.later you enter the wind” at this time we are relaxing in the backyard of the house. I ignored Bian's words and directly attacked him ferociously.
“arghhh...” My and Bian's struggle together after we did the last release.
I dropped my body on top of Bian who was drowning after our hot activity. I who was stifled because of emotions could finally subvert a Bian.
“maafin me yes mas..I am today again very emotional because. Maybe because my mom did not come again yes.I became overwhelmed to take care of the twins who are active again. Plus I suddenly feel jealous with your closeness, whereas yesterday-yesterday was also common aja” I finally let out my grievance to Bian.
Bian just gently rubbed my innocent back without saying anything. Suddenly I realized something. Was Bian also upset about being greeted by my nagging back home?
I let go of our embrace and looked at Bian in. “mas was angry yes fitting home was greeted scolding not clear me?”
“honestly, I was upset to hear your babbling when I should have been greeted with a warm smile. I am used to your habits on that one. Maybe because the position was also tired of eating it mas so follow up annoyed to see your attitude last” I feel more guilty hearing honest remarks from Bian.
“yaah..maafin me yes mas...in the future I will try to regulate my emotions so as not to overflow when the mas came home from work.” Bian kissed my lips briefly that made me speechless.
“should mas can understand that you are also tired of taking care of children and also the needs of mas. Your work is not comparable to your work that serves your family fully. Mas salut equally you for 6 months really totality take care of mas and the twins. Mas know you until now still have difficulty because before you were a career woman, I really thank you for being a good mother and wife for us. The problem of the twins, mas sure slowly they will be closer to you because mas will not be able to beat the bond of mother and son” explained Bian who made me re-hug him.
“oiya..if you want to forgive you, we continue the previous. You didn't forget we're still together now?” I rounded my eyes realizing our current position. I saw Bian blink one eye to tease me.
“kalo the twins cry how mas?” I tried to hold Bian who was going to take me.
“you forgot if you memorize their schedule.It is better that you prepare to face your next defeat” without letting go of our union, Bian lifted my body and walked into the house.
“you don't try to take it off because we will do it in every room” he said which made me shudder in horror at what will happen next.
Finish me…
