Not the Surrogate Mother

Will Thailand realize?

Karina who was sitting leaning on a gurney while surfing social media through a mobile phone, immediately stopped her activities. "Kai, can you talk like that? I'm the one who's pregnant with them, Kai. Even I bet lives to give birth to them. Still wrong in front of you? If my ASI can't get out, is it my fault? Does that mean I'm not a good mother?" challenge Karina as if she were right.

"You think conceiving and giving birth is enough to make you called Mom? Make no mistake Karina, it is precisely the task as a full Mother that only begins after the child is born. How a mother cares for, raises and educates her child. And that you can't do while continuing to spend time just playing mobile phones like this" said Kasihut, chiming in Karina's harsh statement on her only son.

From yesterday-yesterday, indeed Love was caught off guard by the habit of Karina who seemed unable to live without a mobile phone. However, he still held back. Remembering not wanting to make her daughter-in-law was stressful. So that it can inhibit the exit of ASI.

"Obviously you're wrong, Kar. At least you try first" said Kailandra.

"In a moment, there is a midwife who will help stimulate your ASI to come out immediately."

Not yet Karina looking for a reason to reject the wishes of Kasih, the door of the room opened followed by the appearance of women in different clothes with sisters uniforms coming in and out to help Karina before.

"Please help my daughter-in-law to get out of her breast milk immediately" Kasih stood up to welcome a midwife in charge of providing lactation guidance to mothers who have just given birth.

"Okay, ma'am, with pleasure." The woman answered kindly.

Karina looked agitated. The tail of his eyes glanced towards Kailandra and Kasih who was compact threw a sharp gaze at him. In that instant, the woman realized her true position. After a period of pregnancy that made him a little lulled with the goodness of Love, now all back to the beginning. Where she is indeed not the daughter-in-law of choice that Kasih expected to accompany Kailandra.

Women who work as midwives who become mentors and escorts Karina began to do his session. The woman asked Karina not to be shy about removing body parts that are the source of baby food. When the midwife wanted to exemplify a massage to stimulate the exit of Asi, she felt an awkwardness in the body part Karina. As a professional who understands the anatomy of the female body during pregnancy or postpartum, the midwife frowned.

"During pregnancy, have you ever felt your breasts harden or pain when touched?" Midwives try to dig up a little information.

Karina shook her head in reflex. There was not much he knew about breastfeeding. He had forgotten to learn it too.

"Are you taking certain medications or herbs in addition to medications from your doctor to speed up the healing process of SC stitches?" The midwife asked again.

Karina shook her head. In her heart she cursed her stupidity. Could have missed something no less important like this. If Karina knew it would be this complicated, it was obviously better if she pretended to be in a coma.

Seeing Karina's suspicious behavior, Kailandra pulled Kasih's hand and took her mother out of the room where her wife was still being asked questions given by midwives.

"Ma, after giving birth, can women still move freely? Is the surgery not painful?"

Hearing Kailandra's question, Kasih directly hit her child's arm a little hard. "Mama's time first, cesarean section is still rarely done. Mama also never experienced, so mama did not know how it felt. But last week you just visited your daughter-in-law who finished cesarean section. His movements were not as agile as Karina right now. The way it goes slowly is a little bent. I don't know, maybe Karina is a rhino."

Kailandra poked her lips. For some reason, her feelings say something is hidden by Karina. He will find out, later after his children have improved his condition.

A few minutes later, Calvin returned. This time not alone, there was Kenzo who also appeared along with the man.

"Keiko how? He must have found me." Kailani immediately greeted Kenzo with a question.

"I've given him understanding. You just focus on your recovery" replied Kenzo.

"What about the baby twins, Vin?" Kailani's question turned to Calvin.

"Their body weight is down. They both rarely cry. Heart rate is still very weak."

Kalvin's answer made Kailani moody. As bad as Keiko's condition at birth, at least Keiko used to be much luckier because he could do skin to skin as soon as he could sit post-surgery.

"Please take me there" said Kailani, either addressed to Kenzo or Kalvin.

"Kai, don't add to the wound. The more you bond with your children, the heavier and sicker it is to let them go. Never meet them in person, take care of your heart" Kenzo said.

Kailani shook her head slowly. "This injury is my risk, Ken. Meet them or not, this instinct still wants to protect and make sure my son is okay and grows well. At least, when they are with their new family, they are already in good health" said Kailani while struggling to change the position that was still lying on its side to sit.

Kalvin immediately took a wheelchair in the corner of the room and brought the object closer near Kailani's gurney. "Sorry, Kai. Can I help you?" Calvin said it carefully.

"No need, Vin. I can slow down. Please take me to the children's room." Kailani took a deep breath. After surgery and waking up from his two-day coma, this was the first time he would try to stand up. Cold sweat soaked his forehead as it slightly endured the pain and heat like the sensation of burning skin in the area around his scabby stitches.

"Ken, you go home. At least Keiko is calm if there is you. Sorry I haven't been able to take Keiko. I'll recover quickly. Say my thanks to Keira too." Kailani looked at Kenzo so gently.

"I told you, Keiko is also my son, Kai. You're not bothering us at all. Yeah, I'm home. It's your phone, it was Kailandra who invented it. If there's anything, call me." Kenzo held Kailani's high-tech flat object to his ex-wife.

Not wanting to waste time, Kailani escorted Kalvin to the room where the baby twins were. Not forgetting Kailani brought a bottle of ASI that he had prepared earlier. Kalvin just drove up to the front door, to get inside, Kailani was assisted by a nurse whom Kalvin had invited to work with.

"Assalamu'alaikum .. This is my dear mother, listen mother, yes. After today, you don't know if you'll ever see you again or not. But the mother promises, will still give your rights no matter how. Come...You are also fighting spirit. Drink a lot, cry a fast." Kailani whispered right into the hollow glass incubator on the front side of the box.

The clear thread slowly fell soaking down Kailani's smooth cheeks. "I'm sorry mom, if someday you know the real story, please don't hate mom, yeah."

Kailani's voice was increasingly trembling, without realizing it, there was a figure of a man who had just come intending to approach and scold him. However, the man's footsteps stopped, when he heard the sound of baby crying a little loud.
