Reunion After

Learning to Take Care of the Baby

Pov: Sandy

I cried when I heard the cry of the baby from outside the room. My God, my heart can't wait to meet him. I miss him already. In fact, he made me fall in love even though I had never met him.

I'm waiting for Mamah to be transferred to the usual treatment room. For almost an hour I looked at the delivery room door. Why is it still closed? Is there a problem with my mom or my sister? Oh Allah, protect them.

The door finally opened. I saw Papah and some medical team who helped deliver the mamah out. The baby was still being carried by one of the midwives. Papah asked me to look after him.

"Where are you going?" my many.

"Bringing home the clothes of mama who was exposed to blood. Take care of her ari."

"Have not been adopted yet, Pah?"

Papah nodded. "You're going to accuse Ayunda again?" ask Papah. Huh huh? Wh who? Ayunda? So it's true that I have a sister?

"Girl, Pah?"

"Yes a girl, fat again. Yes, Papah tipped your sister. Papah wants to take care of her first." Papah thrust his hand out for me to experience.

Thank God, I am so happy. Like something's popping up in my chest. My lips were unceasingly smiling behind the mask. I followed the midwife who brought my sister. He put it in the baby box.

"Can you take care of her sister, Mas?" tanyakanya. I nodded and said I could. My eyes were unceasingly admiring the fat little girl. My tears are flowing again.

I lifted her from the baby box. I'll give you that beautiful baby again. My voice trembled, really, I could barely contain my happiness. Thank you my lovely sister. Thank you for being born into this world.

Mom returned to the treatment room. I saw him crying and asked why.

"Happy, Mah. Gandhi was very happy to meet Ayunda. Mah, can't it be if Gandi gave me his middle name?" I asked Mamah.

I've got a suitable name for my sister other than Ayu's name that my mother got from her dream. I met him for the first time in a dream, in the middle of the night, and now he is also born at night. Laili, a name that means midnight. I got it from the word lailatul qodar.

Mama agreed to my advice. Just ask permission from papah. I saw my sister again. Beautiful, always makes me look at his face.

"Well, teach me how to carry dong." I asked Mamah to teach me how to carry the right one. I was a bit stiff the first time I tried. Especially fitting the head, well, I'm afraid. Afraid that anything will happen to his head.

Because of the stiffness, my hands became sore. The baby is still closed. Unlike the other babies, they were already whining crying. This is why the ndut has not asked for ASI anyway?

Mamah asked Ayunda, to be breastfed. Finally, he wants to. But his eyes were still closed. Well, I think I know Ayunda's hobby, sleep.

Once satisfied, my sister I put it back in the baby box. Papah came to bring us food. Asked if Ayunda was already literate?

"Yet, Pah. After traveling far away, so sleep continues. Mbok ya wake up, here you know there's his handsome brother." I protested because my sister kept sleeping.

"His name is also a newborn, Gandi. It must be like that" said Mamah.

Ayunda cried, mom asked me to check her diaper. Ah, it turns out my nervous dedek wet the bed. This how do I clean it? Papah and I were confused, even though we had learned, it was still a new experience for us.

"Look at Gan first, his toothless wet clothes no?" Mamah asked me to check the whole Ayunda shirt.

Aunt Nusa entered, "Dedek gemoy weighs three eight besti. Doyan eat ok yes, pounding a beautiful aunt. Give me whose name?" tanya Aunty Nusa when visiting Mamah

"Ayunda" said me and Papah at the same time.

"Congratulations Wid, Mas Tom, Gandi. Complete, here. Already have a guy with a girl. May Dedek Ayunda be the son of sholihah." Aunt Nusa greeted Mamah, Papah, and also me.

"I'll go home first. Later if there's anything, just say the same guard." Order Aunt Nusa to us.

"Thank you, Sa" said Mamah and hugged her best friend.

It's good to have a really sincere friend. There are times when it is difficult and happy, always be patient even though there is nothing important. Nowadays, looking for a really good friend is very difficult.

I remember Rania. I reported it to him by sending a picture of Ayunda. Has he not slept? I wait for a reply from him. There's no reply. Oh, maybe he's asleep.

I also sent photos to Alya, Han's son. The girl was not sleeping yet. He returned my message. Ask me all about Ayunda.

Me : Ayunda Laili Haryanti, but this is uncertain. I haven't asked Papah for approval. BB 3800gr, PB 50cm. How nervous is your sister?

Alya: Yeah my sister's gemoy to, Mas. BB he's five kilos now.

Me : 😔 Compare it don't now dong. How many born?

Alya : 😂 Later I will be with the Ayunda family. Greetings to Tompi with aunt Widya.

Me: Okay

Mom seems to have closed her eyes. Maybe mom is tired. Same with papah. I let them sleep. Ayunda was crying again. This time not because of bedwetting, but he's BAB. Well, this how else to clean it?

I calmed down first. I played the video on the yuotube to make my steps easier. I calmed my little brother down so as not to disturb those who were being shut down. I started getting rid of dirty diapers. Wanting to throw up I saw the shape. Kucubo to shake off this disgust of mine. Speed up my hand so my sister doesn't get fussy. I cleaned it with a wet tissue. I replaced it with a new diaper. I threw away the dirt and washed my hands. After that, go back to Mamah's room.

After cleaning it up, Ayunda stopped crying. What a sweet child. Know if I can't give her ASI she just keeps quiet while playing her mouth and hands.

"Alhamdulillah Mas's sister is literate, why, Yunda? Thirsty huh, Dek? Patience huh? Let me sleep for a while."

I tried to carry him more easily than the first one. I held my prayer and I held my hand slowly, so that my sister would be comfortable.

This is what it feels like to have a sister. Fun, adorable and confused. Ayunda yawned, wanting me to capture the moment, but baby, my phone was in the bag. I don't want to be noisy and wake up papah and mama.

After about half an hour, Ayunda began to fidget. It seems like he is hungry. I had to wake up mom.

"Yunda woke up earlier, Mah. The Chapter too. Gandi hasn't cleaned it yet" I said.

"Yes already, let papah clean tomorrow. You sleep when you sleep." Mom asked me to sleep.

I immediately looked for a position next to Papah. I close my heavy eyes, so that tomorrow I can take care of the baby again.
