Divorced for Poor

Chapters 74. Extraneous

The morning atmosphere is so beautiful. The sun was shining brightly without being blocked by cloudiness. Everyone starts doing their own thing. Some go to school, some go to work and some exercise.

Naina is also ready to go to school. As usual, Mbah Uti will take Naina to school. Now Lilis uses the services of a motorcycle taxi to drive and pick up Naina at school. Lilis is looking for a motorcycle taxi driver whom she knows well and is now a subscription to Lilis.

Lilis sits on the porch after driving Nathan to work and Naina to school. He is now home alone. He refrained from entering the house, because if he entered the inn want to sleep and laze.

For pregnant women, sleeping in the morning is considered pamali. Not only for pregnant women, sleeping in the morning is considered pamali, but for young unmarried girls also pamali. Different regions, different also customs.

To relieve drowsiness Lilis do special gymnastics for pregnant women. With a 5-minute squat, hold your knees for about 5 minutes as well and take a short broomstick to sweep the lawn. That way he can clean the yard while doing the movement of pregnant women.

In the village, indeed if you are pregnant, you have to sweep the yard a lot. What is important is actually not sweeping it but the movement and sweeping position are the same as the movement of gymnastics pregnant women.

After doing morning activities, Lilis sat back on the terrace. Suddenly, his stomach started to hurt. If calculated the time of delivery is still 2 weeks again according to the estimate of the doctor. But maybe, this little brother wants to see the world.

Lilis took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. He stood up and stepped slowly to alleviate the pain in his stomach. The pain in his stomach seemed to stab his heart. On the lower side, it starts to hurt. Just sitting down feels uncomfortable.

These contractions are getting stronger and stronger. The longer the pain grew unbearable and Lilis immediately went inside the house to pick up her phone and call her husband. While enduring the pain, Lilis spoke softly.

"Assalamualaik."

"Wa'alaikum salam. Mom, I'm probably going to give birth."

"What, I'll be home soon."

The phone call was closed. Lilis was convinced that Nathan would be home soon after he got a call from her. Outside, the sound of Lilis's motorcycle taxi driver is getting closer. Lilis knew, it meant her mother had gone home. Lilis walked out to ask for help. When he got outside, his mother was surprised to see Lilis enduring the pain.

"Lis, why are you, are you going to give birth?"

"Maybe ma'am, the contract has been there since. I'll call your husband" the mother panicked.

"Mas Nathan I called, Mom. Maybe he'll be home soon."

"Then you hold it for a while longer or mom goes to Bu RT's house to borrow Bu RT's car?"

"Wait for Nathan, Mom. I want to be accompanied by Nathan," said Lilis while enduring the growing pains.

Lilis wanted to sit, tired of standing and walking. However, his stomach felt something stuck from top to bottom. It really feels uncomfortable. He stood up again, and just then the sound of the car was heard quietly.

Nathan arrives with Wendi in a car to take Lilis to the hospital. Nathan looked panicked and anxious to see Lilis' current condition.

"Lilis, how. Really hurt? What can I do to ease your pain?"

Lilis simply shook her head.

"Nathan, the car's ready. Let's just take him to the hospital," said Wendi calmly. Wendi can calm down because she had witnessed Lilis' condition when she was about to give birth to Naina. He took Lilis to the hospital and played Adhan and Iqomah in Naina's ear because Desta was not there.

"Lilis, let's get to the hospital. So that the doctor can immediately help you," Nathan said while holding Lilis' body leaning against him.

"Mother prepare clothes and others first," said Bu Siti immediately packed some clothes and other items that if needed while in the hospital.

"Mas, wait a minute. I want to go to the bathroom," said Lilis suddenly felt like defecating.

Nathan had Lilis in the bathroom. Suddenly Lilis felt something strong from her bottom and Byuuur ....

It turned out that her water had already ruptured, and Lilis could no longer hold back her baby's contractions. Lilis resigned if she had to give birth at home without a midwife or doctor who helped her. She asked her husband to help her lay in bed and he pushed her hard.

Everyone was panicking and anxious to see Lilis. However, Lilis soon regained consciousness and held back the baby's contractions. She realized what would happen if she gave birth at home while her water had broken. The baby can die and cannot be born normally if it runs out of fluid.

Lilis took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. She helped her husband into the car. Every contraction came, Lilis endured her pain and endured the urge by squeezing her husband's finger with all her might. It happened many times, until her husband's fingers hurt. Only that was all Nathan could do to help reduce the pain that Lilis felt. Lilis endured extreme pain because she could not push for her baby's safety.

They finally arrived at the nearest hospital. And Lilis was immediately treated by a doctor.

"Please Doc, the water broke half an hour ago" Nathan said in a panic.

Lilis was taken to a special room to be examined. The doctor was surprised to find that the opening of Lilis was perfect.

"The opening is perfect" said one of the doctors.

"The waters of his establishment have also broken from half an hour ago. We're getting ready soon, hopefully the baby can still be born normally without having to have surgery" said another.

Lilis strained according to instructions from the doctor and in just seconds, the tiny baby had come out safely. A healthy and normal baby boy. Lilis sighed and thanked God for giving birth safely.

While outside, Nathan was pacing back and forth in panic. Seeing Lilis in so much pain, Nathan felt guilty. It's because she made Lilis pregnant. And it turns out that women giving birth takes a very difficult struggle. Even life can be a bet.

Wendi and Bu Siti can only pray, may Lilis be given strength and safety during childbirth. Mother and son survived, that's all that matters.

"Nathan, sit. My head is dizzy to see you go back and forth" Wendi said with a sigh.

"Wendi, I'm panicking and anxious. How's Lilis in there. It's been a few minutes" Nathan said.

"You think giving birth to a child is easy. It's not how much. It used to be that Naina was born, it could be more than 3 hours" Wendi replied.

"What, 3 hours. How did Lilis survive, endure such pain for up to 3 hours?" nathan asked himself.

"That's a great mother," Java Bu Siti. "A mother can hold anything for the sake of her child. A mother is nobler than a father. Up to 3 levels. Mom, mom, dad's new mom."

"Nathan finally understood, Mom. A mother's struggle can never be countered by anything in this world. But sometimes a child does not appreciate a mother even speaking rudely. Nauzubillah min dzalik, the great sin," said Nathan.
