Husband, If Your Father Is On Your Mother, Your Sins Are On Me

Episode 22

The more enlarged my womb the less also the torture of nausea and vomiting that I experienced. Now I can eat anything without worrying about going out again.

Our new home is already in the final finishing process. It can actually be occupied if we want. However, Mas Yandri postponed because he wanted everything to be completely ready when we moved on.

Today Mas Yandri is off, and we are planning where I will give birth.

"Neng, want to go home to Mama or to Mama? Let it be right later, someone help you."

I paused for a moment and drank the milk out.

"Please, Neng is here. If the problem of help after giving birth, it will usually be from the maternity home like there are those who come home to ngasi know how to care for newborns. For home work can also find people to help Neng. The one who came home in the morning was Mas."

Mas Yandri seemed to object to my wishes.

"Mas, Neng is a wife. There is nothing in Neng's dictionary to leave Mas whatever the condition. As hard as it is for Neng. In addition, Neng will also be a mother. Neng wants to understand how to learn how to take care of Neng's own children without the intervention of others. Don't tell me Neng is stubborn. This is Neng's decision."

"If you're afraid of Neng's hassles, you don't have to worry. Toh Mas also often really help Neng ngurus home. The same thing later in the affairs of children. We have to cooperate. Because of what, because it's our son." I explained at length before Mas Yandri expressed his objection.

"As much as possible Neng did not want any intervention from anywhere and from anyone for this matter."

Mas Yandri breathed a long breath. From his face it was seen that he could not resist my wishes.

Mrs Jejen doesn't bother me much anymore. I don't know, maybe because I used to share snacks with him. His attitude towards me is getting better and better. It's just, Mumun Ma'am who is now keeping her distance from me. He looks clumsy if he runs into me on the street accidentally.

"Eh Re, where are you going?" ma'am Jejen asked as we were choosing vegetables.

"Here is the rich ma'am, where am I going? My husband is here."

Mrs Jejen nodded her head.

"I thought you were going home. You are not here there are relatives of sodara, maybe later the hassles"

Beyond my expectation, he nodded.

"Yes can. If you need help, you can tell me."

"Yes mom, thank you. Please help later."

That's human nature. Sometimes the saying that reads unacquainted then not dear is true.

Humans are special creatures. They will not do bad or good forever. Their treatment of us also depends on how we treat them.

If from the beginning I kept quiet, it's possible that Ms. Jejen will continue to bother me. But no, I did good to him even if I followed my custom, I would repay him many times. But again I remembered my mother's message.

"If the Tethes repay one's bad deeds with bad deeds again, it is already very common.

What is amazing is that if Teteh gets bad treatment but always retaliate with good deeds. But one that must be remembered, still hold fast to the principle that self-esteem should take precedence.

Teteh must take a firm stance when Teteh has retaliated with good deeds but the treatment that Teteh received remains bad. If it is like that, self-defense should be. To show if we're private who can't be bullied."

Mas Yandri and I just got home from the maternity house near the house. We did a routine pregnancy checkup and also started looking through the treatment rooms. In the maternity home in addition to midwives, there are also obstetricians who routinely keep watch. This aims if something happens that is not desirable, the maternity home can quickly take action.

The position of my fetus is still transverse, midwife advised me to prostrate a lot with the chest attached to the floor. In addition, the condition of the amniotic fluid and the placenta, all under normal circumstances.

Mama called to ask me how I was doing. I told him everything was okay. I also tell you that many of my neighbors tell pregnant women abstinence from the side of myth. One of them is the use of small scissors that must be taken everywhere.

"If Teteh wants to follow the words of old people please, if not also please. His smile was just. But don't be awkward. If the myth wants to be made, pack it. If not, not all of you.

And don't forget either. Where the ground is planted there is also the sky held. You have to understand the traditions and customs of a place. If you refuse, use a polite attitude and language."
