Sharing Love: The Suffering of the Second Wife

Toward Childbirth

That cry sounded like a melodious chant from heaven. Its reddened radiance, like blossoming petals, presents happiness in the two hearts of people who are waiting patiently.

"Darling, you've bought a lot. Why do you choose others too?" lamented uncle Harits who was getting tired of accompanying Nadia shopping.

It's been almost two hours, they're inside the mall. Go to a store that provides baby supplies. Uncle Harith looked at his hands filled with shopping bags. Sigh with both shoulders down.

"So, Mom, this is a funny dress. I just want to buy everything." He chuckled to himself without seeing what the expression of the man standing behind him looked like.

Grunting, sighing, long and heavy. Seeing the behavior of the wife who is not satisfied shopping.

"You don't love it's gonna melt down? It's been too much, you know. Comeon, honey!" he said it again clearly was tired.

However, the large pregnant woman was indifferent. He bergeming on his activities to choose and sort out what he wants to buy.

Uncle Harith was not out of his mind, he thought what would make his wife end the show sorting goods. Glanced at him who was bending over, his large stomach almost touched the floor. He smiled to find an idea that he thought was brilliant.

"Hey, aren't you tired? Look, you even carry a load on your stomach, but it's like you're not burdened at all" she said. Unknowingly, he was sneering at himself.

The old pregnant woman straightened her body, turned her head, staring intently at her husband's flat stomach.

Hump-puk-puk!

She laughed after three times patting her husband's stomach. "It should be Mas who is more excited here because Mas's stomach, right, flat does not bulge like my stomach. Shame, you know, I'm complaining." He laughed again while glaring.

The man gaped in disbelief, especially when his wife returned to choosing things. Is it really like that of a woman if she is already at the mall and shopping? Like a mal demon's trance.

"If you're tired, just sit there. Wait for me to finish, I still want to choose the others as well," he suggested without turning his head at all.

That's right, why don't you just sit down. Uncle Harith glanced at the chair provided by the shop, glanced at his wife, making sure the distance was not too far away so that she could still monitor the wife.

He moved after looking at everything, sitting quietly while watching the wife who was still thirsty for shopping. Uncle Harits circulated a glance, thinking did he just buy everything in the store?

"Don't think anything, Mom! I know what you're thinking." The man jumped when he found the wife who was standing not far from where he was sitting.

He smiled awkwardly, shrugging his shoulders. Nadia snorted, she was done with her shopping. "It's over?" uncle Harith asked when he saw his wife's hand carrying a shopping bag.

He left and immediately took over the bag in the hands of his wife. Gently holding her, took the pregnant woman out of the store.

"Where else are you going?" asked Uncle Harith to break the silence that controlled the situation. Nadia had not answered, her head still turned to the right and left, I don't know what she was looking for.

"Hungry, Mas. Find food, yeah." Nadia rubbed her stomach while frowning comically. Uncle Harits chuckled for a while, he circulated the look for a place to eat that was comfortable as well as delicious.

"I want some seafood, Mum!" Nadia exclaimed to make Uncle Harith's open mouth close again.

"Say if you eat crab cubs will be fierce, you know. Continue to eat squid cubs later mushy. What are you eating there?" uncle Harits said without seeing the annoyed expression Nadia showed.

Uncle Harith turned his head for a while, he boasted a smile seeing his wife's pouting face. His eyes scanned again for safe food.

"Whose word is that, my friend? How, eating crab so fierce son?" Protest. No, food is forbidden.

"Say Mother .. eat soto only, yes. You, don't you, like soto." Uncle pulled Nadia's hand towards the tavern that provided soto. Well, it's okay. Soto is also her favorite food. They sit in chairs just like other mall visitors.

Order and wait patiently. As well as the condition of the mall that is always crowded with visitors. Many children are wandering to and fro, teenagers who just go around with their respective partners. Or young parents carrying their children.

Seeming friendly, widened in his heart did the man sitting in front of him want to hold their child later? She laughed to herself when she imagined her husband being exposed to the baby's urine.

"Darling? Why are you laughing by yourself? Is something funny?" asked uncle Harits suspiciously. He scanned himself worried that something was wrong.

Nadia shook her head as she folded her lips holding back the smile that wanted to stick out. Again uncle Harith's lips had to be clenched forcibly when the servant brought their order.

Although eating in a simple place, they can still feel the pleasure of their taste buds that are very Indonesian.

"Mas, what name have you prepared for your child?" nadia asked after finishing her meal. They were still sitting there lowering the freshly swallowed food before heading home.

"Mmm .. there is, deh. You know, don't be curious, yeah. Wait until she comes out," she said pointing at Nadia's stomach with her chin.

The woman snorted, she was so curious about the name her husband had prepared. The man even forbade anyone to name his child.

"Mmm .. I want to know, Mom. Ih, why the secret play, anyway?" the blinds are not happy.

"Lho, it will also not be a secret that he is present in our midst. So, just wait one more month, right?" he said again. Nadia looked up, annoyed that the man was really firm on his stance.

By late afternoon, the two returned home with a lot of stuff. The two are attacked by their foster children who deliberately play at home waiting for the arrival of their parents.

Cheers filled the entire mansion of uncle Harith that afternoon. The children are happily getting new toys from their Father and Mother. Just like that, the infinite delights that most people rarely appreciate.

"G ... My mother!" Nadia gave a small shriek as she felt an intense movement in her stomach.

"Why, baby?" Panic looked at the grimacing Nadia while holding her stomach.

"It's okay, it was just a little uncomfortable when he moved," he replied after taking a deep breath and throwing it away slowly.

Uncle Harith asked Bibi to get warm water, he was still anxious to see sweat on his wife's forehead.

"Drink first!" According to Nadia, she took a glass from her husband's hand and took a small sip.

"How's it?" Still worried.

"It's better, Mommy." The pale face that was just now gradually returned to how it was.
