"mas, mom hasn't come yet?". many times I asked mom to bram.

"no dear, be patient". replied mas bram.

"mother, alisya sleeps with mother ya". said alisya.

"no dear, another bundle of pain". mas bram approached his alisya.

"alisya want to sleep with mother, evil papa". alisya sulking.

"honey, not bad papa loh. mother again sick, alisya see her sister want to come out. later if alisya sleep with mother, her sister does not come out.

alisya was silent at the words of mas bram, occasionally she glanced at me and her tears fell.

maybe alisya misses because I haven't slept with her for a long time.I feel guilty about alisya for not paying attention to her during my pregnancy.

"honey, here hug mother".My heart was sad when I saw her shed her tears.

alisya immediately hugged me and cried loudly.

"bad father". said alisya while crying.

"wouldn't you be mean dear, dear papa as alisya. alisya want to see his sister come out right?".

alisya nodded her head with her tears continuously dripping down her cheeks.

"so, alisya tonight sleeps with bi nina first yes, later if her sister has come out, alisya just slept with mother again.bunda promise, every day alisya sleep with mother". I said to calm him down.

alisya wiped away her tears

"delayed promise".

"sweet promise".I hugged Alisya tightly.

"so alisya is not angry anymore is the same papa". said mas bram.

alisya shook her head and hugged mas bram as well.

"ohh dear son papa". mas bram also hugged his alisya tightly.

bram took his phone out of his pocket.

"mother, baby". mas bram showed it to me.

"lift up, maybe mom's here".

"dear Iyaa, hello mother". mas bram immediately raised it.

"bram, where the room is karin, mom and dad are in the hospital lobby".

"ohh yes ma'am, I'll just wait in the lobby to let me come pick up mom".

"this is non, eaten porridge. non have to eat a lot because non need a strong energy to give birth later".bi nina gave me a plate of porridge made.

"iya bi, thank you for the porridge bi". I slowly immediately ate the porridge.

shortly after, I heard the voice of mas bram and father talking outside.

"that's them bi".I was immediately happy to hear the voice of my father from a distance.

the first mother opened the door and entered the room.

"karin". said mother and came to me.

"mother has arrived".

"you're in good health, son". Mother called me.

"yes ma'am, which father?". I didn't see you coming in with me.

"ohh yes salam know , I'm his mother karin". mother shook bi nina's hand.

"greetings to know my mother again, I have heard many stories from non-karin mothers.

"wahh looks like a bad story about mom.

"ahh mother".

"hahahaha, baby, you're just kidding me.

bi Nina who saw me and my mom laughed.

"mother is very lucky to have a child like non-karin, already beautiful, kind, friendly and loving again.

"iya bi, this karin from childhood has made me proud because he is my only child, so I have to succeed in educating him well. what else is the behavior and courtesy of respecting others is important, right bi?". asked the mother to bi nina.

"at that time it was 6 months old ma'am, after that I did a prostration movement recommended by doctor jeff and thankfully the location could change ma'am.

"thankfully, I'm relieved to hear it.

mom approached me and embraced me

"honey, don't be sad yes.we pray that the baby is born safely, and you don't think about the incident of your aunt yes. mother does not want your trauma to get bigger, and you do not want your trauma, the important thing is that you focus on your baby".

"yes mother, I'm grateful that mother was beside me in this situation.

"wahhhh what is this in that embrace". said the father who entered the room.

"it's not okay if you hug the carin". replied the mother.

"can dong, I also want to be in the arms of my father's son.

"bram, you better go home. rest at home just as alisya, pity him if you have to sleep in the hospital as well.

"it's okay ma'am, alisya will go home with bi nina". replied mas bram.

"mas, really said mother.you just rest at home.from morning until now you must be tired of keeping me continue. Besides there are fathers and mothers who can take care of me here.

"yes, if you want it. let mom and dad alike alisya later go home to rest.

"alisya want to go home with mother". said alisya.

"dear Iya, alisya go home first with grandpa and grandma. papa and mommy sleep here first, tomorrow just go home.okay baby ". I stroke the head alisya.

while we were talking, there was a knock on the door.

tookk...

"excuse me, father, I will do an examination to mother karin.

"good sister, please come in". replied maa bram.

"how's mom?  what hurts more often".

"yes sister, the pain is getting more and more frequent and like going out.

"it's good mommy if the pain has started often, it's a sign the baby's head is getting down and the birth canal will be more open and the baby will come out soon.

"yes sister, but sometimes I can't stand when the pain comes".

"just set your breath, take a breath out of your nose and throw it out of your mouth do it slowly so that the pain is stable, but if you are still able to get up and walk, do it slowly, mom can do some walking and occasionally squatting to speed up the delivery process.

"ohh yes sister, I will.

"all right, ma'am, excuse me if you need help call us immediately.

"don't force it if you can't afford to kid". Mom comes near me.

"yes ma'am, I can still stand". I tried to sit and stand.

"here, let me help you baby". mas bram immediately held my hand.

"wait, the pain is coming". I feel my stomach moving and tense.

"below aja darling, if not able to fall asleep aja". said mas bram

"it's okay, I'm willing".

I began to walk slowly around the room by pushing the infusion pole that I brought. I walked a few steps and then I squatted down according to the advice of the nurse.

the ready-to-stand bram was on the side to keep me safe and to help me immediately if anything happened.

mom and dad sitting on the sofa kept staring at me with worry on their faces.

"mas stops first, my stomach hurts.

"just rest, baby, don't force it".bram grabbed my hand.

"karin, take a break, son.

"slow down baby, just go to bed again ". mom tidied it up.

mas Bram led me up to the bed and I laid down my body.

"sleep is slanted, son, let the baby quickly get off the head". mother confirmed my sleeping position.

"the sicker mom".

"yes son, it's okay even good.if tired of tilting here, you can turn around and tilt to the other side yes.

"mas, stretch my waist". I feel pain also in the waist.

"aah yes dear". mas bram immediately did what I asked.

"non, I'd like to excuse you to bring non alisya home.

"oh yes bi, be careful on the road ya bi". I replied while enduring the pain.

"have called Mr. Ahmad bi to pick up". said mas bram.

"already sir, Mr. Ahmad has been waiting in the parking lot". replied bi nina.

"mom and dad all go with bi nina home and rest.

"all right, mom and dad will go home with his brow. let mommy accompany him to sleep and you guys if anything happens immediately contact dad or mom yeah".

"yes mother".

"ayo alisya, we go home and rest. Alisya want to go home with grandfather?". asked the father to alisya.

"yes, I want grandfather". alisya holding father's hand.

"drug mother". alisya waved her hand at me.

"bye baby" I replied.

"don't be naughty, baby, you have to hear the words grandma and grandpa.

"iya papa".

"don't worry, I'll take care of her eyebrows. Mom goes home first.

"be careful mom".

father, mother, alisya and bi nina they have come home, there is only a mas bram accompanying me.

"mas, if you are tired of rest". I saw the face of a tired bram.

"dear, I still want to keep you company".

"you want to eat baby". said mas bram.

"no mas, I've eaten porridge that bi nina bring mas.mas haven't eaten huh? it's already mas night".

"yes baby, I just remembered that I have not eaten and suddenly my stomach is very lager.

"yes already, mas go eat first. later mas sick if not eat".

"but what are you, baby, if I go eat". mas bram worries about me.

"it's okay mas, there are nuns. have hunted go the same mas".

"well baby, I'm going to eat for a while. I promise it won't be long, I'll be right back". mas bram holds my hand.

"iya mas". I feel a sense of worry on the face of mas bram.

the room feels lonely when there is only me, the pain is more and more frequent and stronger.if my stomach has contractions, I feel uncomfortable and it feels like the baby will go straight out.

it's like a mother's struggle, feeling the pain that it hurts so much to give birth to a child. I understand now, why a mother would be hurt if the child born against her, I understand, because the struggle is really hard between life and death.

"may you be a good child, son, and be able to appreciate others.

I tried to take a deep breath as the pain came and it made me a little calm in the face of his contract.

30 Minutes later, Bram returned from dinner.

"honey". said mas bram when he entered the room.

"so fast eating it.

"i'm not comfortable baby if you eat for a long time, I think you continue because I live alone". mas bram stroked my head.

"aghh". I'm having uterine contractions again.

"why dear? do I need to call the doctor". mas bram looks panicked after seeing me in pain.

"don't mas".I clasped tightly to the hand of mas bram for enduring the pain.

"mas, please rub my stomach".

"like this dear". mas bram immediately rubbed gently on my stomach.

"yes mas".I felt comfortable when the bram mas stroked my stomach.

"how dear". asked mas bram.

"comfortable mas, the pain is a little less.

"mas, if tired of rest aja. tomorrow I will have to go to the office". I feel sorry for bram mas tired of taking care of me.

"how can I rest baby, if my wife is struggling with pain to give birth to my son.

really and really, really lucky I had a husband like mas bram.he never showed his tiredness in front of me just to encourage me.
