Giving Birth at the Home of In-Law

Past Times

#Part_17

It's my fate to have a mother-in-law who doesn't love a daughter-in-law. Besides because of the character of Mother who was thin, hard and like she had no empathy, my relationship with Mother was never good, because since long ago, Mother did not approve of my marriage with Bang Rafi.

Three years ago, Bang Rafi and I met at the convenience store where I worked. At that time, Bang Rafi was still a fourth semester student. We're in a serious relationship, Bang Rafi doesn't like it when a lot of guys try to get close to me. She insisted on marrying me when she was not yet able to become the head of the family.

"You have to pick one, stay in college and leave the girl, or marry her and quit college!" mother said when our relationship was in its second year.

Sometimes love is that special. Bang Rafi chose to quit college, we married with the belief that love would strengthen us in any situation.

Luckily, after deciding on college leave and marrying me, Bang Rafi got a job at the factory as a technician, thanks to offers from her friends during STM. At that time, we were very happy. We lived together in a small contract that we thought was like a palace.

The days of being a newlywed are the most beautiful. I feel like my life is perfect. Uniting with a soulmate, feeling such great love, as if life would be forever like that.

My mother never visited us once. Never send anything, never ask for news. I was not too dizzy, most importantly Bang Rafi's attitude at that time was very sweet and considerate.

Three months after marriage, I was positively pregnant with hyperemesis gravidarum. Excessive vomiting nausea so often can not go to work. The bigger I was, the more I felt bad and decided to resign.

That's where all the trouble started. The economic condition of our small family is no longer stable. Bang Rafi's hobby is collecting football shoes that I used to consider ordinary, after our income reduced drastically, I often protest. "We have to skimp, Bang. I'm out of work and I'll be born soon." I try to give him understanding.

Apparently, Bang Rafi's association still requires him to be more concerned with hobbies than family, he is not mature enough. At that time, I realized love was not as strong as I thought.

"Ning, what's the USG result?" bang Rafi asked as I walked out of the doctor's office. My content at that time was eight months, midwife who routinely checked me in posyandu advised USG to ensure the health of the baby in my womb. Given my worrisome pregnancy.

"Thank God be healthy, even if the baby is small."

"Her gender?" Bang Rafi was very curious about the gender of our baby. She hoped I'd give birth to a baby girl, as her mother would.

I stared at him, deliberately not immediately answering his question. Bang Rafi looked impatient. He's holding my shoulder.

"Women?" the canal.

I nodded with the corner of my lips perfectly raised. Bang Rafi hugged me tightly. "Mother must be very happy to hear this news, Ning. Thank you," said Bang Rafi full haru.

I nodded in his arms. May my baby be the glue of my relationship with Mom.

Since the good news was heard by my mother. Bang Rafi and I were called Mother to her house. Mother bought me pregnant milk, pink maternity clothes also often take me to the midwife. Mother said that all my baby needs later, Mother will prepare it.

I was heartened, feeling that my relationship with Mom would improve because of my baby. But, in fact, I only accept Marisa, but not with me.

After the bitter experience of giving birth in the house of in-laws, today, I will return to that house, a house I have never been comfortable in, for Bang Rafi's sake for Marisa's father.
