My servant, Asha

Peacefulness

Since the incident at the mall, Asha reduced eating her favorite fruit, watermelon. Asha has anemia. So all the things that trigger anemia are reduced. Asha's work at home is also restricted. This time he complied.

A few months have passed. Now Asha's stomach is beginning to show. The fetus in the womb is about six months old. In the afternoon after work, Arga immediately invited his wife to see the birth of his son Evan. Chelsea has given birth.

Arga and Asha head to the maternity patient's room. There, Evan was hugging the baby with a baby. Chelsea smiled with satisfaction at seeing her baby healthy.

"We are coming" Asha said at the door.

"You came as fast as this turned out." Evan looked back. Chelsea welcomed their arrival with a smile. The tired face of giving birth was still left, but it seemed to have begun to erode due to an overwhelming sense of happiness. "Look Ga. My beautiful angel." Evan showed the reddish-skinned baby to his friend.

"Women yes... According to your wishes," said Arga who knows Evan's desire to have a baby girl. That's because Evan always says it. Evan's lips smiled proudly.

"Yes. Evan keeps saying that our baby is a girl. When the USG is also lucky to fit the words, which is a baby girl." Chelsea added.

"What if the baby isn't a girl?" ask Arga to Evan.

"I don't know. Because my baby is now a girl" Evan said as he continued to look at the baby happily.

"His behavior is even similar to a child," grumbled Chelsea but smiled amusedly. Asha smiled. "What about you? Is your baby a boy or a girl?" ask Chelsea.

"We agreed not to know the sex of our baby. Men or women we accept." Asha said so while looking at Arga.

"Why?" ask Chelsea. Evan is approaching too. He said knowing the sex of the baby was fun.

"No problem whatsoever. I just want to focus on his health. Mother and baby. Asha who looks strong but is even weak during pregnancy, makes me very worried." Arga placed his hand on his wife's shoulder. Asha just grimaced.

"The same relationship is knowing what gender?" ask Chelsea who feels this is strange. Asha giggled slowly.

"Actually I want a boy first. So Arga forbids doctors to tell us what sex our baby is, because ..."

"I'm afraid she's obsessed with baby boys. If it turns out that our baby is a girl, I'm afraid she just keeps thinking about things. It could be disrupting his health." Arga charged to finish his wife's sentence.

"The reason is so, yes...." Chelsea smiled while slightly sneering at Arga.

"Suami on standby, huh, Ga?" Evan mellowing.

"At a time like this, isn't that what you need to do?" Arga avenged Chelsea scorn and led by Arga. He thinks his attitude is right.

"Really, right. It was expected of a husband. Isn't that right, Sha?" Chelsea supports.

"really. Lucky she has such a nature," Asha said as she stroked Arga's arm standing next to her. Suddenly the baby in Evan's arms was crying. Everyone looked towards their baby.

"Why cry baby.... Your father is nothing to do..,." cried Evan surprised.

"He's thirsty. Let's have a fat mom." Evan approached and handed over their daughter carefully. Arga opted to step back a bit and turned to his wife before Chelsea would breastfeed their daughter. He tried to avoid his sight. ."I'm breastfeeding here, huh?" chelsea asked for permission.

"Please." Asha.

"Come, Ga. Let's go out first. We'll have a drink outside" Evan asked. "Looks like my daughter wants to go with the girls first." Evan was joking. Because after being breastfed briefly by Chelsea, the baby was calm again. That means, their baby wants to join these two women.

Asha and Chelsea smiled.

"I'm out first, Ma." Chelsea nodded to allow. "Sha, I'll take Arga first. No, I kidnapped her. Just take her for a drink in the hospital cafeteria."

"Sha, I go out first huh..," said Arga. Asha nodded and smiled. After the two men left, Asha and Chelsea began to engage in an exciting chat during childbirth. Chelsea passionately told her experience. Asha also listened enthusiastically.

"Thank God, it can be normal" Asha said.

"really. Although I may have been given a choice by Caesar with the intention of relieving me, I refused. Moreover, I am not in an unhealthy condition that requires the birth of a cesar. Of course I tried to give birth normally through the birth canal. Normal childbirth makes us know more and more how to be a mother."

"really. I also want to get a normal rhythm. Pray yes.."

"Yes. I pray that the process of giving birth to you will be smooth." Chelsea said it in earnest. Asha smiled then.

Their relationship, which was actually started by competition and envy from Chelsea, turned out to be different. Asha and Chelsea grew up as friends unnoticed. They tell each other and share experiences. They care and pay attention to each other even though they can initially be considered far from the word close.

Arga and Evan also return as friends as they were in the beginning. Although there was anger and hate, Arga chose to throw it away for the sake of peace in his own heart.

The peace that Asha and Arga brought for them, had a good and positive impact on the relationship between Chelsea and Evan. They had also been infected wanting to form a sense of peace between them. Open your heart to be better than yesterday. Forgive each other for things that have passed with indifference and stupid.

Peace can exist if our own hearts desire it. However it happens, if we open our hearts to choose peace, there will be many ways to make it happen.

...----------------...

Tingkeban is one of the traditions of human life cycle during the pregnancy of the first child who reached the age of seven months.

Mitoni, tingkeban, or Seven Monthly is a Javanese customary procession aimed at women who have entered the seven months of pregnancy. Mitoni itself comes from the word “pitu” which means the number seven.

Even so, pitu can also be interpreted as a pitulungan which means help, where this event is a prayer so that help comes to the mother who is pregnant.

This tradition is done with the aim of praying for babies conceived to be born normally, smoothly, and kept away from various shortcomings and various dangers.

In addition to asking for prayer for smooth delivery, this mitoni event is also accompanied by prayer so that the child will become a good and devoted person.

This time the seven-month anniversary was carried out at the residence of the Hendarto family. Asha's mother intends to come home before the event. But Madame Wardah said that Asha's mother should come to her show only.

There's not much to do, because Mrs Wardah has already ordered food for the event. Mrs Wardah still welcome to come if Asha's mother still wants to come. But he suggested tomorrow.

"It's okay, Mom. I've ordered food for tomorrow. Asha's mother can rest at home to come here tomorrow. There is no need to bother coming here now," Wardah said when Asha's mother called.

"I don't feel good when it comes to the show, Mom," Asha's mother said.

"That's not to be thought of, ma'am. I'm not bothered. I am also relaxing. Since I ordered almost everything, there's not much work here."

"so yeah. Thank you, Mom."

"Express. Tomorrow I'll pick up with Angga, the house driver, huh, Mom?"

"What's not a hassle?"

"Of course not."

"alright. Again, thank you..."

Finally this morning I will still open the stall because it does not go there.
