I was happy when I heard from Arga that Hilman came to the factory and accepted the position that Arga had given him. Thank God, he does seem to have changed, unlike the old who likes to flatter his office work. Maybe he is proud to work in a big company, but I think he is too excessive too.
I was in Gara's room, today because I got the art assignment to stick various grains in the picture. The pattern is determined by the teacher and the children at home are required to complete the collage to be brought the next day. The picture on Gara is home, some seeds with colorful color I help apply there.
"Ma, this is hard loh glue," said the boy complained, he was not too able to stick the seeds on the glue, his hands were sticky because the glue hit him.
"Slow down, try using a cotton bud, honey." My orders to him. I was also the first time to help Gara make this collage, exciting but also if it can not be well stick to it the results will be ugly as well.
We struggled for more than an hour just sticking those grains. There are some seeds that we use, dried corn seeds, coffee beans, soybeans, and also green beans. While only this is all that Mabak Sus can get at the nearest stall, he said, if only the task is not impromptu surely Sister Sus can go to the market and look for other seeds that will be able to decorate this collage more beautiful.
My stomach was a little bad, it was painful in the lower area, it felt like there was a small incision as the baby I was carrying moved firmly.
"Ah." I held back a groan, once in a while the pain made me close my eyes for a moment to endure the pain.
"Mama why?" ask Gara to me. He looks worried and stops his activity sticking.
"It's okay, it's just a stomachache" I said, calming him down.
"Will Mama want a baby?" ask Gara. I shook my head.
"Still next month" I told him.
"Oh, Kirain wants to be born now," said the boy again.
I rubbed his head, from yesterday he kept asking when his sister would be born. Impatient so that in a day you can ask two to three times.
"Ma, if the body is sick?" tanyanya while continuing her homework.
"No idea, Mama hasn't felt it. Why?" ask her.
"No, just want to know. Where will the baby come out of?" tanyakanya.
Well, what kind of question is that? Should I answer if the baby will come out of the hole under the woman?
I scratched my baffled forehead, whereas he was now looking at me asking for an answer.
"Mama does not know, try to ask Sister Sus, Sister Sus has given birth," said I. I'm afraid wrong, the problem I'm facing is a child aged almost six years who could remember a thing or event until the big day. Like I used to feel when the neighbor said something and until I grew up I believed what he said until I proved it myself.
"Mommy doesn't know?" tanyakanya.
I was just grimacing, she did like to be a little pushy if she wanted to.
"Already ah, finish the collage, later this is sleeping, Mama sleepy," I said as usual if avoiding the question.
He did not answer, only continued what he was doing now.
The pain became more and more pronounced. I was confused what, if maybe going to give birth it feels impossible too, my HPL is still mid next month, about four weeks away.
"Why pale?" tanya Gara, the collage she made is still unfinished, but the boy chose to get rid of the paper and came closer to me.
"Eh, pale huh?"
"Yes, is Mama sick?" ask again. I shook my head.
"It doesn't hurt."
"Then Mama rests, sleep yuk," she asked as she pulled my hand over her bed. I just according to him, a little pain under the stomach makes me walk slowly.I'm sleeping on Gara's bed, the boy asked me to hug him. She also rubbed my back gently and affectionately.
"His stomach still hurts?" tanyakanya.
"It doesn't hurt. It's my brother who takes care of Mama." He smiled and rubbed my back gently.
"Mama bobo, let's not be pale again."
I closed my eyes, but didn't really sleep because the pain in my stomach was getting worse. When I opened my eyes, Gara seemed to have fallen asleep in her sleep.
I slowly removed Gara's hand from my shoulder, shifted a little to get down and decided to go back to my room. Pity Because if I disturbed his sleep, I was afraid also if he kicked my stomach. Sleeping because it is not calm.
Slowly going down to the bottom floor, every time I stepped up it felt like there was something burning in there. I was very careful when I stepped in, for fear of something. It felt like something was going to fall out of my body.
"How do you sleep, Mom?" sari asked when I got to the bottom floor.
"Already, you please help clean up Gara's room, yes. I haven't had time to finish the rest of Gara's activities above" I asked.
"Yes, Mom." Sari nodded in understanding and went upstairs.
I continued my steps to the room to lie down.
I comfortably kept a pillow under my waist and leaned against the head of the bed. It feels a little sore waist, as usual just this is very felt once even though I have applied eucalyptus there.
I just decided to sleep in this position. I just fell asleep and woke up again due to discomfort under my stomach. This baby just kept moving as if he wanted to get out of there, making the area down there become sick.
"Mbak Sus!" I screamed, hoping someone would hear me and help me out here.
"Mbak Sus! Sari!" yell again.
"Mbak Sus's. Sari!" Before long Madam Sus came with quick footsteps.
"Yes, Mom? What's up?" ask her with a sigh set it well.
"Anu .. Can I ask you a favor? Sort the waist, Ma'am. It hurts so bad," I asked.
"Oh, okay. For a moment. Ma'am was again cooking hot water for the Madam to take a bath, to say it used to be the same Nira nitip water," he said and left after getting an answer in the form of a nod of the head from me.
I waited for Madam Sus to return, lying on her side on the bed.
"Mom, sorry. Wh why? Is she sick?" ask Ma'am Sus worried.
"Lumb pain, Ma'am. Hot," I said, closing my eyes.
"Kok tumben, what do you want the lahiran? How felt? Sorry, yes Mom" asked Sister Sus, a warm swab felt on my waist skin.
"Hot, achy, Ma'am. It hurts a lot" I told him.
"Usually, if the achy heat on the waist is a sign of want to be born." Ma'am Sus said again.
"HPL is still next month, Ma'am."
"Oh, be careful, ma'am. If that estimate is just an estimate. If it was born sooner or longer," he said again not stopping his gentle strokes on my waist.
I nodded in understanding, it was only an estimate. Who knows if you were born sooner or later.
"Where else is the waist?" ask Sister Sus again.
"Here you go, loin" I replied.
Sus did very well.
"I'm sorry, Ma'am. Bothering the Sus Mama."
"Well, that's okay, Mom. Just a swab, really. Not a hard job" he said kindly.
"Mom sure there's no other pain? In the opening area maybe?" tanyakanya.
I shook my head, it no longer hurt when I lay down, just discomfort in my waist.

The night before, Arga had not come home because he had called and said to come home late, but I did not expect that at ten o'clock he had not returned. The pain in my stomach the more I felt. I was a little unsure, but decided to open a pregnancy guidebook and also after giving birth. Reading material with characteristics will give birth. The symptoms are similar, ten-minute intervals of pain in the lower abdomen also the longer the more often I feel so that now five minutes once I feel pain down there. It feels like being sick because it often holds back pee. Yes, I can only describe her pain like that.
I read again, if going to give birth then there will be red spots along with mucus, it was I feel also uncomfortable in the area under me/I decided to go to the bathroom and check, it was not easy to see, apparently, it is true that in my pants there is such a thing, liquid and also red spots. I tried to stay calm, just like the doctor told me back then. At times like this, panic is not the solution. You have to stay calm in the face of something.
I changed my pants, washed them myself. Shame if washing underwear should be the same to others, not used to it. Although all this time Ma'am Sus who takes care of my laundry, but I never let him or others wash my underwear, it can be ascertained if when they wash it I have brushed first by myself.
The baby clothes in the closet I took out, I put them in the baby bag that we had bought a while ago, lucky baby clothes and everything was complete. While feeling the pain I continued to move my body, not wanting to first inform mother or the others as I was sure this was still far from opening.
Baby clothes I put in some, also with soap, telon oil and so on. I also brought my own nightgown.
The pain is getting more and more frequent, it has started to feel once every five minutes. I decided to call the doctor who used to treat me.
"Assalamualaikum," said my greeting as he raised my call.
"What's up, Ms Ayu?"
"Doctor, do I want to be born? This is how it feels like I'm in a book, right?" my many.
"Out of spots and lumbago?" he asked in a slightly surprised tone I heard.
"Yes, the mucus came out and also red spots, this lumbago has been about five minutes of pain" he explained.
"Oh, then immediately go to the hospital, I will also be ready soon. We do the examination first, if from what Bu Ayu said this is indeed the characteristics of her will give birth," said the doctor. I thanked him and hung up the phone.
With a bit of difficulty I walked to Sister Sus's room. The pain made me unable to walk properly. The most important thing was to arrive in front of his room.
The door that closed I knocked a little hard, I also called out to him. Before long, Sister Sus came out of there with a sleepy tired face.
"Bak Sus can ask for help?" my many.
"Why, Mom? Hungry up? Can I make some food?" he was half sleepy.
"No, please get a taxi. We're going to the hospital."
Hearing that the eyes of Mbak Sus immediately opened wide and look lost drowsiness.
"Eh, I-Mommy wants to give birth?" tanyakanya.
"Looks like. Please find a taxi, yes." I asked once more. The woman nodded her head and immediately closed the door, she woke Sari up and asked the girl to accompany her outside.
If only the driver was at home, I would not have asked to find a taxi with Sus. I couldn't drive a car to the hospital by myself.
"Mom wait, yeah. We'll get you a taxi as soon as possible!" ma'am Sus then exclaimed with Sari they left in a hurry.
