Love After Divorce

The Presence of New Family Members

Approaching HPL I began diligently walking around the complex. Living in a new home is very comfortable.

If I used to live in a small contract and had to be super duper efficient, now I live in one of the houses that are classified as luxury. There is no swimming pool yet but Leo said the backyard will make a swimming pool. So that our son will be good at swimming.

At half-time 6am after dawn prayers, I walked while stretching my body around the complex. Leo finished the morning prayers and then ran around the complex.

His smile expands every time he passes me. Sometimes while running he kisses me on the cheek with his mesra. Making those who passed in front of the complex also blushed in shame.

The doctor said there must be a lot of walking so that the birth process is easy. I also took pregnant gymnastics. Learning how the theory of childbirth although not sure when giving birth later will use the theory or not.

It's past 6 o'clock. It's time to make breakfast for Leo.

"Darling! I'll have breakfast first!" I shouted because Leo's position was far enough away. I was lazy to approach him. My position is in front of the house at the moment.

Please be understood, big stomach kayak gini way away just make pee keblet. Moreover, this is my stomach he said it has started to go down. Signs are about to menggahirin.

"Yes." replied Leo as he gave his thumb.

I went into the house and found the task I gave to Madam Dal my housekeeper was done. Before the sport, I asked Ms. Dal to clean the vegetables and peel them.

Today I want to cook capcay. Although not as the name capcay which means 9 types of vegetables, but yes. I counted the vegetables I was wearing. Carrots, chicory, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower and chickpeas. Less than 9 types. Its okay.

I was sauteing garlic when without feeling I felt like peeing and there was water running down my thighs. Oh, my God, my membranes are broken.

"Mom! Call Leo!" I screamed in panic but calmed down.

"Yes, why Mom?" mak Dal asked who came from the washing place.

"Call Leo! Tell me my membranes are broken!" it turns out that panic overpowers me. Can't be calm. But I remember having to turn off the stove.

Dal's sister also contracted the panic I created. He ran out to call Leo. I waited while sitting in the dining chair. Trying to calm down.

Calm..must be calm...

"Darling!!" Leo came in full of panic. "How areyou? The mules? Want to be the lahiran now? We're going to the doctor now?"

I just started to calm down so I panicked again. "Yes. My membranes ruptured. How's dong?"

"We're going to RS now." Leo then told Mbak Dal to take the bag of maternity equipment that I prepared in the nursery.

"Take a big black bag in the nursery. Take it to the car now." Leo instructed Mbak Dal.

"Let's get to the car now." Leo led me to the car. His hands were cold when he hit my skin.

Leo swiftly opened the car door and asked me to go inside. "Where is the Dal's mother so long?!"

Madam Dal then came in a hurry to bring a sizable bag. Her small strong body had a bit of trouble carrying it.

Leo opened the back door and put down the bag that Mbak Dal had brought. "You take care of the house."

"Good, sir."

Leo drove his car as fast as he could to the hospital where I used to control. Parked the car and led me to the ER.

While Leo took care of the administration, I was taken to the obstetrician. Fortunately the doctor who used to check me today there is a practice schedule but later around 9.

I was in the USG first and the result was that I had to have a caesarean section because the membranes had broken and there was no opening at all. Contractions do not exist.

"Just calm down, Mom. Don't panic." Sister tried to calm me down who was crying thinking about going to a caesarean section.

The assumption of many people that giving birth to a caesarean has not completely become a mother makes me sad. Even though I have tried to give birth normally, taking pregnant gymnastics and a leisurely walk every morning is proof of my efforts.

Man can try, but God wills. Maybe it's the way I have to give birth by caesarean.

The struggle as a mother is different. Don't generalize. I decided to caesar for the safety of the child in my womb. No more Adam.

Leo faithfully stood by me until we had to part in front of the operating room. His face still looks worried. If He could accompany me inside, He would.

I waited alone until the doctor arrived. With clothes from the hospital and no underwear, I waited in the cold operating room.

"For Maya's Mother. Ready for surgery today." a nurse greeted me kindly and pushed my bed deeper into the operating room.

"Yes" I answered half in doubt.

Inside the operating room there are already anaesthetic doctors and some male nurses and nurses who have stood by.

"Please sit down first, ma'am." I'm kind of embarrassed because there's not a single thread covered. Just info, clothes from the hospital like a cooking apron. The back is open. Just cover the front.

I also followed and sat down. "Of course you'll see, ma'am, because we'll inject local anesthetic earlier."

I follow and obey what I am told. "Rilex is Mom. It hurts a little."

And I also felt the pain of a syringe injected between my spine, precisely in the area around the waist.

I'm enduring the pain. The most painful injection I think.

"Please go to bed again, ma'am." I'm sleeping again.

After I fell asleep, a green cloth was spread over my chest. Makes me unable to see the operation process.

"It hurts not Mom?" ask the anasthesi doctor.

"No." I answered honestly.

"good. Then the dope's already working."

Anesthetic doctor changed with obstetrician who used to check me.

"For Maya's Mother. I'm Doctor Nina. We're starting the surgery." said doctor Nina kindly.

"Yes, Doc." Doctor Nina's presence made me feel less alone in this operating room.

It was during Adam's operation that I was unconscious and it was over when I came to my senses. It's different.

The doctor and nurse looked relaxed operating on me. While chatting about activities at home and television news. So relax. Not like in the movies.

I who feel nothing and can not see anything can only resigned when my stomach like rocking.

"OKAY. Now ready to push ya." Doctor Nina then spun one of the guys to push my stomach. I just kept watching everything until my tears came out when I heard the sound...

"Congratulations Mom, baby boy." The doctor then showed me a handsome little baby in front of me. "All complete, ma'am. His fingers and toes. IMD (Initiation of early breastfeeding) first yes."

Doctor Nina then put my baby in the source of his life that he immediately recognized. "Wah has come out. Real nice. There will be plenty of it later. Let's clean up first."

I don't pay attention to what's done. There was a vacuum-like sound that was sucking the pacifier out of my body. I don't give a shit. My baby was born.

After surgery, I waited to go back to the room. The difference in this space Leo can enter.

"Dear." Leo came and hugged me tightly. Leo kissed my whole face with a happiness repellent.

"Thank you... Thank you for being the mother of my son. I Love you." back Leo kissed my forehead.

His tearful eyes bear witness that He loves me very much. I smiled happily. Feel beautiful to be loved.

"My Boy's... Am I named or are you? Or just join? My idea and your idea. Make it both, his name is also both dong."

"You alone." I want Leo to feel a contribution in the birth of my son. He always felt love for his son.

"alright. Hm... Aydan Ammar Kusumadeva. Aydan means a passionate youth and Ammar means strong faith. So the complete meaning of the young man who is full of vigor and strong faith Kusumadewa family. How's it? Like no?"

I nodded with great enthusiasm. "Like. Very fond. Can it be called Aydan or Ay ajam Gimana?"

"Called Ammar can also. What's important you like." Leo kissed me on my forehead in love.

****

I've been transferred to the nursery in the VVIP room. There were balloons and decorations welcoming my arrival. Leo must have made it. The flowers were removed before fearing that me and our baby had a flower powder allergy.

There are already Father, Mother, Brother Anton and his wife Kak Anne, Papa, Mama, Kakanda and Kak Rian who stare at each other with a slack. What's up with them?

Mama Lena hugged me tightly and congratulated me. While stroking Mama's distended stomach I smiled. "Mama wants a baby too. Samama yes we are."

"Yes, Honey. Mama is happy to have a grandchild and will have another child soon." Mama's eyes look teary. Weeping and happy to be one.

One by one they congratulated me. A happy smile poured out for me. But the party has to end. Happiness goes with pain.

I have to learn to move left and right. Learning to breastfeed my baby that makes pain and blisters in my daraku.

Enjoy being a mother. Not dry the scars from the surgery, the next day I had to learn to stand. It feels... steady!!

I was a bit disinclined when the nurse asked me to learn to walk. Still hurts. It feels like spoofing with bobo-an-ja in bed.

But I have to get up and learn to walk. Must, must, must and must.

Again it feels... steady!!!

Even at home, the pain from the operation is still felt but must still take care of the baby. Breastfeed every two hours so as not to yellow. A mother's sacrifice.

Then want to give birth in any way, be it a normal birth or caesar please appreciate. Because the struggle to give birth and after giving birth is equally painful.

I remember the words of the mothers when eating meatballs with Duo Julid at that time, how mothers gossiped about her friend who was said to be weak for giving birth by caesarean.

If you remember that, it feels like I want to muck his mouth. Anxious!

Slowly I started to get healthy and could take care of my own baby. Started to recover and can go back and forth home without pain.

Now change, Mama's contracting. Leo said Mama had heartburn since this afternoon and that Papa had been taken to the hospital.

I can't come see. There's a baby I have to look after and be too sensitive to be taken to the hospital.

I can only pray that everything will be good. The doctor finally took a cesarean section because he was worried about the health of Mama who was no longer young.

And the Buntungers' family is growing. Dino Buntungers. My little brother-in-law comes with bringing happiness to all.

Because of the prank of calling Dino Buntungers, Papa Dibyo also had an idea. Her youngest daughter and only daughter was named Dina. Dina is Dibyo and Lena. Just like the name Leo, namely Lena and Dibyo.

"Then what do I mean, Pa? Leo and Dina are a combination of your names. I how? You are evil, distinguish myself from others!" Kakanda like a little boy who craves to be told what the name means.

"Cat, inget! You are married now! Don't be a kid!" papa's Nagging.

"Yes Papa, why don't you know what my name means! Just answer what is so hard!" grouse Kakanda.

Everyone at Papa and Mama's house just laughed at Richard.

"You know Pa!" mama Lena's orders.

"Yes. Papa tell you." Richard waited for Papa's words.

"Hm... Richard's the origin he said of-"unfinished Papa said it already answered by Richard.

"Rich!" replied Richard. "Rich."

"That's you know." ledek Papa.

"Yes time means so Pa? Very simple!" Richard's Scolding.

"Yes simple. Make it not. Difficult know. Should break through the fortifications" again Richard cut off Papa's words.

"Not to be criticized Pa kayak level that. If it just means rich doang I already know." said Richard grumbling.

"Yes that was! So it's not answered?" ledek Papa again. The great demen ngeledekkin Kakanda to sulk.

"So." answered quickly.

I laughed when I saw the actions of my brother and Papa as a child.

"It's funny to them." whispered Leo who was holding Ay carefully.

"Yes" I replied as Aydan's cheek mentowel who began to lose weight because of frequent drinking of breast milk.

"Yaudah Papa tell you. Your name doesn't mean Rich or rich like you said. Yes hope Mama and Papa anyway you can be richer than Papa. But that's not what that means." Papa deliberately paused his words. Makes us more curious.

"Richard is taken from French, meaning brave and strong. Papa wants you to be a brave brother to his sisters. Also be a strong man to protect his family, protect your wife and children later."

Everything quiet. I was wrong about Papa Pupus. Papa can be serious as well. But just for a little while, because then...

"How cool can you give me a good name like that? H.ha..ha..." Papa laughed with satisfaction. Nyesel...
