My name is Maira

- Mother's Advice -

***

The second week of the mid-semester holiday, I'm getting bored.

I began to get bored, because no activity can make me excited.

I've finished reading all the comics I hired, I'm also tired of television.

I want to meet dimas every day, because my day is so much fun when I'm together.

But dimas gave me understanding, if after KKN he had to compile a thesis, because he wanted next semester to be his last semester on campus.

I prefer to spend time with my mom.

"Bu rara pingin has adek deh", I asked the mother who was folding clothes.

"Why Rara wants to have a sip", asked the mother casually and continued her activities.

"Yes exciting, Rara will not get bored if a long holiday, can play equally well, continue, if at home there is a baby, the house becomes crowded" I said while fantasizing.

"If you are the same sister again at home, the house is also crowded" said the mother.

"So ma'am, alan was busy in the room constantly" I said grumbling.

"Another reason why Rara wants to have adek" asked the mother, who seemed unenthusiastic about my wishes.

"Nih, if Rara comes home from college so there is a welcome, there is a cute baby who ran towards the door and then hugged rara" I said with a cheerful tone.

"Keep if you are fussy all day" asked mom.

"Yes, Rara calms down" I said casually.

"Keep the care from morning till night who" asked the mother again.

"If rara's holiday is taken care of", I replied.

"Then it means every holiday rara must be in the house take care of adek, and can not be free to play again" said the mother.

I then thought, and frowned as I imagined, I should be at home all day, refusing my best friend's invitation to play, and also refusing to spend time dimas.

"If Rara leaves there will be a mother who takes care of her" I said with a cry.

"Maira denger mother, if maira wants to have adek, maira must be committed, maira must sacrifice maira time to play, maira must also help mother make milk, wash adek clothes, and, and also maira must be ready to help mom when the adek is fussy, maira is ready", asked mother to me.

"Hehehe", I grimaced at mother's words.

"Having the baby must be ready for the commitment ra, must be ready, both in terms of soul and finances" said the mother explained.

"Just like the time of the baby maira, the mother sacrifices all the time of the mother and only focuses on taking care of the rara, providing rara needs, giving rara happiness, and also calming rara, she said, when Rara cried because she was uncomfortable" said the mother again.

I heard my mother's words carefully, and exhaled loudly, I felt tired, despite only hearing my mother's words.

"But babies are funny and fun mom" I said still think positive.

"Indeed, the pouch is not always funny" said the mother with a manyun lips.

"If rara wants to have a sultry because think at her seneng aja, better rara play the same doll again, like a little rara time first" said the mother, who finally finished folding all the clothes.

I immediately frowned at the words of my mother who asked me to play the doll again.

Mom turned to look at me and grabbed my hand.

"Similarly with Rara, when Rara will want to have a baby, Rara also should not just think at her seneng aja, but Rara should be ready with all the risks that come with her", my mother began to advise me.

"For example, Rara must be ready and confident that Rara can be a good mother, Rara must also be sure that the finances of rara and her partner can meet the needs of the baby, Rara said, rara also can not live in a bad environment, Rara must be able to provide the best environment so that the baby Rara grows healthy and happy" said the mother gently.

"If Rara still likes to play, and only thinks of herself, then you should postpone having a baby" said the mother.

"Can not be fair to the baby, if you have to be born when rara is not yet an adult, the baby is adek later even so sad to have been born" said the mother while rubbing my cheek.

"So when you can be ready to have your own baby" I asked the mother.

"Later when Rara is married to a good man and rara loves, and more importantly the responsibility to rara" said the mother.

"Amin, mother doain is the best for rara" said the mother with a smile.

I then helped my mother to put clothes in the closet of alan's room and my room.

Finally Friday comes, dimas will pick me up at seven in the evening and we go straight to solo.

Three days ago, Mami Mita asked my mother for permission to stay at the dimas house for two nights.

After a discussion with my father, my mother allowed me to play at home until Sunday.

"You're lucky Ra, her mom is cooked dear to you" said the mother when telling me, that dad allowed me to stay at home in the room until Sunday.

"You have to keep your heart in, don't hurt, because her mom believes in you" she said, stroking my hair.

I replied to mom with a nod and a smile at mom.

Mom offers dimas for dinner first at home, before going solo.

Dimas happily followed the dining room mom.

Finish eating, as usual, when we want to walk, mother leave the parcel for the parents dimas.

We decided to leave because we were worried about the night.

Dimas tried not to take the bike quickly, because the weather was very cold, and even though I was wearing a thick jacket, but the cold air at night was still very piercing.

It was almost ten in the night when we arrived at the dimas house.

I got off the bike with a shiver, then opened the fence of the dimas house, so that the dimas motor can enter.

Shortly after I closed the fence, Mami Mita came out of the house.

"Mami's daughter has come" said mami cheerfully, then approached me and hugged me.

"Let's go in, mami makes warm tea" said mami.

Mami then hugged my shoulder and rubbed my arm, as we entered the house.

As soon as he entered the house, papa Seno was seen coming out of the room.

"Maira, it finally came" said papa seno welcoming me with her barithic voice, then hugging me.

"Father healthy", I asked papa seno, kissing her hand.

"Certainly healthy dong" said papa seno.

I then sat in the living room, and soon entered the house, carrying his backpack, as well as a parcel from his mother.

"Papa's son" said papa seno as soon as he saw dimas enter the house, then papa seno stretched his hand to hug dimas.

"Rara wants to sleep in the room dimas or in the room mbak dina", asked the newly arrived mami mita while carrying four cups of warm tea.

"Rara let's sleep in the room in the noodles" said dimas on mami mita.

"In fact, my mother has not set the bed linen in the room, this morning forgot to ask aunty for help, later you install it yourself yes le" said mami mita to dimas.

We chatted for a while in the living room, my mom asked about my lecture, and asked me to come to the store tomorrow morning.

Papa Seno then went into the room, after drinking tea for a while, because he wanted to watch the ball.

Dimas had also climbed to the second floor, I was still in the kitchen, helping my mother wash the dirty cups we used to drink tea.

Although my mother asked me to let it go, but I insisted to keep washing the cups.

I went upstairs after saying good-bye to my mom.

When I entered the room, dimas was changing his t-shirt, once the dimas was done, dimas immediately kissed me and pumped to rest in the room.
