Son-in-law at the In-Law House

Suspenseful thing

"What the hell, An, just bother. Don't you see what, I'm working?" ketus Mas when I called him. After three calls, this was appointed by Mas Wawan.

"Mas, looks like I want to be born, huh. My stomach hurts so much. You can go home now, right?" I complained while enduring the pain.

"Yes, I have a mother at home. Ask Mom for help. I work again, do not disturb first," said Mas Wawan there.

"Mas, there's nobody at home, help me, Mas. Mother went with Meri earlier, until now has not come home," said I who increasingly endure pain in the stomach.

"Yes, whose fault were you talking to mom. If you say it, mom will take care of you. Wait, just wait for mom to come home! I'm still busy!"

Tit.

Phone's turned off. Wawan just turned off my phone. Wawan is really late. When I want to give birth like this, she talks about caring about me. So is my mother-in-law who is now out of nowhere since I am here, mother-in-law often goes with Ms. Meri, her brother Wawan. Though my mother-in-law begged me to stay here while reciting, but her attitude really made me, Iris. Fate of daughter-in-law at home.

Aaaauu....

My stomach hurts more and more often. But I can't stay silent like this. It's tragic, my life. When you want to do it like this, the husband's family, and even the husband himself do not care about me. And damn, I was tempted to persuade them.

Seeerr!

It feels like something is seeping down here, until my undershirt looks wet. What is this liquid? I started to panic. With the pain in my stomach and the pain in my heart, I kept thinking. I have to get help. I don't want to keep quiet like this. Time goes on I can do it here alone.

With a frenzied pace, I kept walking. I wish someone would look and help me. But it seems like the streets are deserted, because this is also near night. I was really upset, where else to go to get help while my own stomach was getting sick.

With the pain that whack, I try to get down and walk limped towards where Mbak Manda. My neighbor in front of the house. Let it be, this time I bother him. What matters is that I get help right away. A sense of relief enveloped when it arrived in front of the house Mba Manda.

Tok tok!

I knocked on the door so hard, it felt like I was running out of energy so I couldn't make any more noise.

Tok tok!

I knocked back on the door when no sound came from inside. Guilt when approaching, maybe Manda has rested. But I had no other choice.

"Who, huh?" asking someone from the inside makes me feel relieved.

Krieet!

The door sounds open. Mbak Manda is round. Ma'am Manda panicked to see me who was helpless to endure the pain.

"O Allah, Miss Anita gave birth?" mbak Manda panicked and then led me who was helpless to sit on the porch.

"Help me, Ma'am Man," ucpku with incredible pain.

"Oh my God, sir, get the car out! Anita is giving birth. Hurry, sir, we're going to the hospital now!" mother Manda's word to her husband.

"Already, Ma'am Man, the bag of baby equipment is in my room," said I grimacing with pain.

"Mba Anita wait here, let me just take it," said Mbak Manda then rushed home to pick up my baby equipment. It has been a long day I prepared so that later I will not be nervous when I want to say it. It is evident now.

With a hasty step Manda guided me into the car to the hospital. Manda grasped my hand tightly. I feel that I am no longer strong leaning for a moment. Then, again feel something seeping warm from below here. And this time more and more.

"Patience, Ma'am, if you feel pain take a breath and exhale. So that the pain is reduced," said Mbak Manda while holding my hand.

My stomach is very sick as if I want to split the road that I think slowly to get to the hospital immediately.

"Fast bit, sir, Anita's mother's hygiene,"

"Yes, Mom. It's a shabbiness," said Mbak Manda's husband. Until we finally got to the hospital.

"Sorry, Mom, Ms. Anita has run out of amniotic fluid, and the baby's heartbeat has also weakened. We have to do surgery to save the mother and baby" the doctor told Manda.

"Do your best for Anita and the baby, Doc. The important thing is they all survived, agreed right, Sister Anita?" mbak Mnad asked for my approval. I nodded weakly in agreement with her.

"Please accompany me, Ma'am Man," I said in a trembling voice.

"Mbak Anira don't be afraid, yes," said Mbak Manda strengthen me. Then some nurses moved me into a cold room and this hand could not be separated from the hand of Manda Ma'am.

Truly, a sense of tightness rippled in here when I realized that my husband didn't care when me and the baby were between life and death like this. This is our first child.

~Morning day~

"Sir, look, the kids are so beautiful. Similar to Mbak Anita," said Mbak Manda while holding my baby.

I held and held my baby. True said Anita, my baby looks clean and beautiful. Her plump eyes and thick eyebrows, completely became my current solace. It felt so happy to see her, as if all the burden was gone seeing her tiny face.

"Congratulations, I'm happy. Hopefully later Galih will soon have a sister, beautiful like baby Anita," said Mbak Manda made me smile. Galih is Manda's son. His age has stepped on 7 years, so Mbak Manda also wants to immediately give a sister to Galih. So that Galih is not lonely he said.

"Mbak Man, thank you very much, Mbak Manda has been with me all night" said Haru. I don't feel tears just dripping. Having a husband, I don't think I have a husband. Grateful to still have neighbors as good as Mama Manda who helped me until I gave birth. Even accompanied me to stay here last night. Mbak Manda's husband came home last night because he had to accompany Galih, his son who was alone at home.

"Sir, last night Galih's father called. He said after returning from here, the husband immediately informed his father-in-law Anita Mbak. But his father-in-law said, his case tomorrow. Because there's already me who takes care of Anita."

My heart grew louder to hear Manda's words. Why did my mother-in-law beg me to give birth at her house at that time if it happened like this.

Krieeet!

The door was open until someone came and approached me.

"Duh, Anita, how can you give birth by cesarean? I told you, try first so that it can be normal. You males ngeden huh? Sorry Mbak Man, Anita has troubled Mbak Man. Emang Anita is the man rada malaes," said the mother-in-law who just came, then nyerocos like that.

Ma'am Manda looks bad with me hearing my mother-in-law's words. Unknowingly my hands clenched, how could my mother-in-law say that while accompanying me alone not. My breath went up and down.
