Reunion After

All are Favors

Pov: Widya's

I was preoccupied with new things. Taking care of a baby girl whose face is very similar to that of a Tompi mas. His nose, the shape of his face, his ears, his chin, his eyes all look like my husband. Where's that part of me? Hmm, thats. I'm the one with her nine months, just like her papa, you know. Just accept.

I leave all my business to Banun and Nusa. I'm still focused on taking care of Ayunda. Every now and then if Nusa is in trouble, I intervene to help deliver. Mother, brother, and mother every three days to visit Ayunda. Invite him to play and tell stories. Sometimes, Mamah asked me to sleep in her house because she wanted to sleep with Ayunda.

However, I still have complaints after giving birth. Sometimes I take paracetamol to relieve the pain. This time it hurt more than usual. My position is in the bathroom washing clothes ayunda affected by toothpaste, my waist pain crumpled. I was not strong standing, my legs limp can not be moved, to scream for help Gandi. At that time, Tompi had not returned from his office. My son panicked.

"Mom, why did you?" Gandhi tried to lift my body.

"Your waist hurts again, Gan. O Allah, Astaghfirullah ..," I groaned with pain, until tears came out of my eyes.

"To the hospital, huh? Gandi call papah first."

At a crucial moment, Ayunda cried. I tried to move, but my waist hurt a lot. Gandi who finished calling his papa gave Ayunda to me. My son needs ASI. I endured as much pain as I could. To sit, I cannot.

Nearly forty minutes of pain did not go away. I can't take it anymore. I asked Gandi to call an ambulance because Mas Tompi did not come. Maybe he's stuck in traffic, or his business isn't done yet.

I was taken by a hospital ambulance. Alone because Gandi has to take care of Ayunda. I gave my identity to the nurses on guard and I asked them to call Nusa.

"Astaghfirullah, what's wrong with you, Wid?" tanya Nusa was surprised to see where I was there.

"No idea Sa, please register me. Mas Tompi was on his way, Gandi was guarding Ayunda. My waist hurts so much. It hurts a lot, Sa," I told Nusa.

"Try X-ray first, huh? I suspect you're HNP lumbar." Nusa rubbed my waist because I was angry while holding it.

I was taken to the X-ray room, then waited for the results to come out. Mas Tompi came with a panicked face. I cried because the pain was coming back. Nusa told me that I did experience HNP or more familiarly called nerve pinches.

It often attacks us, midwives. Sometimes the position of our body when helping labor is not right, causing our nerves can be pinched. I remember very well before marrying with mas Tompi, almost every day there are partus or lahiran. I have to help him myself. Maybe that's where this nerve pain came from.

"From the neurologist's visit later tonight, you are advised to be hospitalized and undergo the therapy process." Nusa explained to us what to do.

I refused, what about my baby? He still needs my ASI. Need our attention.

"Think about your health, Mah. His breast milk, then let Papah take care of everything." Mas Tompi tried to calm me down and change the way I thought.

I refused, and it made him angry. The first new impact I had as his wife, made me sad. Nusa pamit left us both so the atmosphere was a little calmer. My tears were dripping, I turned my face away from my husband.

His hand wiped my tears, "I'm sorry I yelled at you. Try it, same manut. Think about your health first. I know and understand, we have a baby that can't be left. But you forget, many are dear and can take care of Ayunda. I'm sure our baby will support your health. If you are healthy, you can take care of Ayunda well. But think about it if you're like this. What allows you to take care of our baby?"

I chose silence and still looked away. The man's hand now moved into my palm. He touched the face of the man who was angry with me.

"I love you, don't be like this. Don't selfish. I don't want anything to happen to you either. So please, follow my wish."

I nodded at the answer yes. He thanked me for changing my mind.

"Where's the smile?" ask again. I smiled and apologized to her for being stubborn. He said he forgave me even though I hadn't done it.

I was transferred to the treatment room. The nurses who were on guard took turns checking on me. Until I finally met his neurologist. He asked me to try to sit down, but I wasn't able to.

"It should be this therapy, Ma'am. It's a little long until it's completely healed. The therapy will be physiotherapy the same light. If later the results of therapy still pain like this must be operated on." Doctor Warni explained to me the possibility that could happen.

Honestly, I'm scared. What if my therapy doesn't work? My husband held my hand. Kiss it until I calm down.

"Hasbunallah wa ni'mal waqil, ni'mal maula wa ni'man nasir. There is no need to fear, we still have God. Your job and I are to try, the rest let God work. You said we should be prejudiced against God, so that what happens to us is a good thing, right?"

I'm nodding. I spread my hand out asking for a hug from her.

"Strong, Widya who is known as Tompi is resilient in all weather, eh wrong, the circumstances mean. He-he-he."

I laughed hearing that. "Help me, Mas. Strengthen me."

"God willing."

I feel like my chest is wet. Apparently yes, the contents are full and have not been drunk by Ayunda again. O God, fill my son's stomach right now.

"The pump's at home, can you get it?" I asked for a vest. He's nodding. Pamit left me alone to go home and tell Gandi.

After half an hour, my husband finally returned. I immediately pumped because it was very tight. Huft, finally.

"What's mundane again? He's not fussy, is he?" my many.

"So said Gandi nangis. Dikasih ASI perah with her brother. Put on a pipette, stay still for a while, then cry again, maybe find you, finally sleep."

Oh my God, sorry, Yunda. Pray for Mom, son. So that Mama can heal quickly.

"Is the boat still a lot?"

"Stock for a week seems safe, Yang. Know for yourself that your son is drinking once." Mas Tompi helped remove the ASI pump because I was done and started to hurt.

The result was a little, maybe because I was stressed. Yes, this can affect the results of ASI.

"Tuh, look. So don't overthink. Let ASI overflow. Okay?"

I smiled and nodded. The pain came again. I try to survive against it. Until the pain goes away on its own.

"Patience, right?" pinta. I was only able to nod and Legowo received the favor that God gave me.

Enjoy pain, enjoy awaited husband, and enjoy parting with children. I consider this ordeal a pleasure, and I must learn to thank it.
