You are a strong mother

"Oeekk.. Oeekk.. Oeekk!"

The sound of crying echoed in the room with blue white paint, the sound coming from the baby bundle that was still covered in blood and the umbilical cord that was still long immediately gave peace to Rea's feelings. It is that voice that becomes a field of reward for a mother.

The madness of the pain finally sailed with a sense of happiness and thousands of rewards and prayers of the Angel to him, he said, the reason for the scream and ringing disappeared instantly when the baby who had filled his womb for nine months, Rea's tears burst unstoppably soaking the decorated face with a smile of his.

"Congratulations, sir. Thank God his son was born safe and healthy," said the doctor, lifting the baby to be seen by both parents.

Rea gave a full smile when he saw his son being taken by a nurse to be cleaned while Varest was just glued to his place standing with his faithful hand holding his wife's hand.

His eyes were teary, his amazement and happiness so he could not express with words. Rea who realized the residence of the husband instantly resuscitated the man.

"Darling?" Call Rea while you touch Varest's arm

The man regained his senses, he turned to his wife with a fluffy smile after which he immediately kissed Rea's cheeks and ended up on the top of the woman's head.

"Our son, honey. Our son, he's born." Racau Varest kisses the back of Rea's hand alternating with the top of the head of the woman who has fought for her life and death.

Rea nodded. "Yes, Honey. She's healthy, did you see her? so handsome." Rea Imbuh

This time the one who nodded was Varest, the man finally couldn't hold his sobs.His cry airs with his hands hugging Rea's head showering the woman with a kiss. The fear and worry when he saw Rea struggling was finally released from his mind.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you Re you've fought until now. Thank you," Varest said with a whim

Rea did not answer, his heart was so warmed by the response shown by Varest, the man looked very fragile especially with the sound of his crying that lingered in his ears.

Varest wiped his tears then looked up at the wife who welcomed his gaze with a gentle smile on her pale lips.

"Thank you, honey. You've fought and endured, you sud-"

Rea put her index finger on Varest's lips to encourage the man to continue his sentence. "Together, thank you also for your great husband who accompanied me to fight." Said Rea, "And took the push" he continued, laughing.

Varest who heard Rea's last sentence would not want to join in laughing a little embarrassed because it was teased by the wife in a state like this especially there are still doctors and nurses there who also smile to hear it.

"Mom, this child has been cleaned, given Initiation of early breastfeeding first well?" One of the nurses came to bring a baby Rea who had been cleaned a little.

The nurse placed the baby on Rea's stomach with a prone position to perform IMD (Initiation Breastfeeding Early), then covered it with a blanket used by Rea.

Rea smiled looking at her baby who started wriggling on her stomach looking for her food source.

"We're staying firstwell, Mom, sir. We're back in half an hour to clean up the little guy." The doctor and two nurses.

"Yes, Doc. Thank you"

The two old men remained there, and it seemed that Varest did not turn his eyes to the little baby boy in Rea's arms, his hands outstretched, touching the baby's head.

"Darling, what's he doing?" He was curious because he only saw his youngest son was just squirming and always pout his little lips.

"He was looking for his food source" replied Rea

"Asi? Why not just give it away?"

"Smart boy, drink plenty of milk dear." Varest sumringah stroked the small back

Fortunately ASI Rea directly produced so that the baby is now firmly filling his small stomach. Rea raised his face as Varest made a sound.

"Did Zee used to be like this?"

"There was always a difference, it used to be my first experience and all the caution and worry, cradling and nursing the earliest experience after Zee cleaned up and it made mama have to teach me back and forth," rea's story recalls the first time she gave Asi to Zee.

"But one thing is the same, our two sons are equally strong." Rea chuckled peeking at the face of his son who was in the midst of vigor filling his stomach.

Varest understood what the wife meant, his hand stroking Rea's cheek. "You are a strong mother, dear," she said

"All mothers are strong, dear." Rea corrected her husband's speech and was approved by the man.

The sound of the lash coming from the mouth of the newborn baby was so obvious that he was enjoying his nutritional intake with enthusiasm as if he did not want to be disturbed and was afraid if anyone asked.

Varest could only take turns staring at the faces of his wife and son, still not fully believing that he was currently seeing his second son in front of him. Until the voice of the new nurse came to disperse her daydream.

"Where Ma'am, the ASI's good."

Rea nodded.

"I think the little one is full, I took a bath, Mom. After that the mother and baby were moved to the treatment room." The nurse took over the baby Rea and took her to bathe.

"Mom, can I help you clean up, too?" take one more nurse.

Rea agrees, while Varest immediately retreats after Rea gives her a signal to ask her out of the delivery room, Rea is a little uncomfortable if Varest sees traces of blood from the delivery earlier.

Varest began to step out of the room, there was already his mother and also his father waiting with a worried look.

"How's your wife, son?" Ask mama Nimas

"Okay, Ma" replied Varest

"Your son?" ask papa Bayu

"Papa's grandson is healthy, thank God"

The two middle-aged men gave thanks at the same time, papa Bayu hugged his only son haru.

"You're worrying Papa, son. How can you not tell us that your wife has been taken to the hospital"

"If it wasn't your brother Andi who called us we wouldn't know." Mama Nimas chimed

"Varest sorry Ma, Pa. It's all very sudden." Varest broke his papa's embrace. "Where's Zee?" then when he did not see his first son was not there with his parents

"She was with Andi and Rani, she was crying in fear because she knew her mother was in the hospital, so Andi took her to the cafe across the street to cheer her up."
