IRENG NIRMALA CANTILE

Part 27: The Yaminah

It did not take long, after two months of marriage, Revelation and Nirmala were blessed with a child. Nirmala's gestational age has been one week, but since she became pregnant Nirmala has become more fond of eating cantile flowers and doing other strange things. If Revelation forbids it, Nirmala will sulk. Once upon a time when Revelation observed the behavior of Nirmala in the early days of her pregnancy, Revelation saw Nirmala all day coolly soaking in padusan until her skin was pale. Fearing what his wife was doing, Revelation asked Nirmala to come out.

“Dek , you've been soaking for hours. See if your skin is already wrinkled because of dryness, blacken yok”

“Later mas I still want it here”

“Why do you love soaking?”

“I feel the baby in my stomach makes me hot,mas”

“Makany to deck, I ask that you always pray. You stay in the unimportant things that”

“I told you to mas I don't like to be lectured in”

Nirmala, angered by her husband's words, locked herself in her room for days, but Nirmala did not open the door for her husband. Revelations tried many times to seduce Nirmala but were ignored by Nirmala.

Not only that every midnight Revelation hears the clattering of bracelets like a man dancing, when Revelation sees beside him his wife is no longer beside him. The revelation seeking the source of the sound is true Nirmala who is dancing in the pendopo. Nirmala also likes to hum by stroking her stomach. Oddity for the sake of strangeness is still understandable Revelation while not hurting his wife and prospective children.

Unlike most pregnant people, Nirmala never fusses and cravings. Nirmala also did not want to be checked by a doctor, she always said if the pregnancy was okay. Nirmala and Revelation did sleep together but not in Nirmala's old room, because Nirmala did not allow anyone to enter the room. Revelation once entered Nirmala's room unbeknownst to Nirmala but Revelation was unable to fight the creature who lived in that room alone.

Now Nirmala's pregnancy is getting bigger and bigger, and Nirmala's behavior is increasingly becoming more worrisome Revelation. Afraid that his son might be in danger, Revelation asks permission to go to his house and tell him everything that happened to his wife.

“Sorry son, you can only pray from here. Just so you know the creature that guards your wife also wants your son”

As soon as the face of Revelation turns pale, this is her first child and becomes the most eagerly awaited child for the newly married couple.

“But abah, I don't want my innocent son to be a victim”

“To understand, pray for your child for safety is all we can do. Always keep your wife until the gestational age of seven months, because after that time the baby in the womb of your wife is perfect”

“Alright abah, thanks”

“You are careful injalan”

This is the fourth month of Nirmala's pregnancy, Revelation is always wary and Revelation is more strictly guarding Nirmala.If the word Javanese maapati or the fourth month of pregnancy is the time the fetus is given life (sorry yes if wrong, if you say, because in every region there must be different beliefs). One night the Revelation awoke to hear the sound of someone humming, the Revelation saw the place where Nirmala slept Nirmala was not there. Revelation rushed out and sought where Nirmala was. The voice came from Nirmala's room, a room she never allowed anyone to enter. Revelation knows if his wife is inside, Revelation opens its doors by force.

“Astagfirullah” Revelation threw away the face when he saw the creature was licking his wife's stomach. Revelation draws the body of Nirmala, the creature groans glaring towards Revelation. Don't want to risk Revelation immediately pulling Nirmala out of that room. Taka da a word afterwards that Revelation says. Nirmala realized that her husband was holding back her anger.

“Mas, Apologize I”

Revelation went to the back of the house, spewing blood from within her stomach Revelation endured the pain in her chest. It was not a physical attack between Wahyu and Singolangu but their tribe fought. It took almost a month for Revelation to heal its internal wounds. The creature desperately wants a baby in Nirmala's stomach. Revelation swears in him, he will not be willing if his flesh blood becomes Singolangu's food. Even though I am the Revelation put in order to save her son.

The difficult times can be passed by Revelation and Nirmala is now the age of Nirmala's womb has stepped seven months. Revelation breathed a sigh of relief, and Nirmala never again came to the room. But it doesn't just end. Not even eight months into her pregnancy Nirmala felt her stomach contract.

“Mas, my stomach hurts like a child’e meh born”

Revelation asks his abdicion to call the child shaman. Mak Inah the baby shaman who at that time came to help Nirmala give birth. However, there is a strange incident that Mak Inah has just experienced. Aided by Rahayu, Mak Inah tries to get the baby out in Nirmala's stomach.

“Ayok ngeden mbak, strong sing yo”

Nirmala tried to take a deep breath, and pressed on with all her might. Mak Inah shook her head.

“Enten nopo mak?”(What is mak)

“I again iki weruh wong baby angele koyok ngene”(I just saw someone give birth this hard)

“Terus kepiye mak?”(So how is mak?)

“Celukken bojone”(Call her husband)

Rahayu calls Revelation to accompany Nirmala.

“Mas , until omah iki kateskan dayoh. I samar yen bojomu ora strong”(Mas, you already know if this house has guests. I'm afraid your wife isn't strong)

“Bayine ono sing nahan mas”(The baby is holding mas)

“Wes mak, until sik yo tak iwangi doa” business(Already mak, you try first I help prayer)

“Sampeyan juphuk wudhu dhisek ya mak”(You take ablution first ya mak)

Mak Inah went back to take ablution, but the nape of her neck immediately felt cold as if someone was watching. Mak Inah actually already knows if this house is inhabited by a lot of soft people. But it was all just rumors that Mak Inah heard from the gossip of neighbors around her house. But this time Mak Inah felt for herself how great the Catra family home was.

After nearly eight hours Mak Inah and Rahayu helped deliver Nirmala, the tiny baby was born just when the spotlight came. As soon as Mak Inah's face turned deathly pale, she immediately cleansed the baby girl's body and gave it to Revelation to be judged. When Revelation proclaims the Adhan in the ear of her little daughter. Nirmala covered her ears while shouting, until Mak Inah and Rahayu were wrong to hold Nirmala's body. The baby girl was named Jeda Yaminah which means full of goodness and beauty.

“Mak, I thank you for your help and I hope Mak Inah can keep my disgrace and my wife a secret”

“Good mas, then I'm sorry”
