Saras just finished a video call with Paijo. Her husband had just absent his face and said he shared a seat with a young officer on the train. Paijo feels safe from the target of pickpockets or something. At once relieved, because there is no need to jaim if later unconscious asleep and snoring. Saras should be thankful that she was not a woman sitting next to her husband. So the negative thoughts that had passed this afternoon, lost carried away by the wind just like that.
Saras is getting ready for bed. It was the first time she slept alone after marriage. It feels different of course. They usually talk together before going to bed. Talk about the future or reminisce about the early days they met.
Now Saras felt that this bed was empty. Feels very broad, but usually they fight their mouths to get a more twin mattress. And during this time Paijo who often relented, her husband was often sleeping on the edge of the mattress. That's all Saras still likes to hustle. If the morning is reprimanded Paijo, Saras must reason like this,
"I'm going to rem mas, where do I know that my sleep ngesuk you..."
"In any case, why are you angry if I ndesek-indesek you, also you if there is a want ngusel, it's my turn, you nag!"
If so, Paijo chose silence. Though the context ngesuk and ngusel is clearly different meaning. Do you guys understand?
Let's just say yes, hehe ...
Saras stared at the ceiling of the room, the more his stomach grew, the more difficult his sleep became. Stretched too long feels chest tightness and stomach feels pulled up, sob. Sometimes Saras misses sleeping on his stomach, but of course he has to be patient until the child in his stomach is born. Indeed he wants to be a seesaw board with his big stomach. It was also impossible, after all, to harm the child inside his stomach.
Saras can only sleep right or left side. With one pillow as the back of his stomach, and one more pillow as a foot extension. Saras feet are often swollen, and the advice of the Midwife that while sleeping his legs in the wedge as comfortable as possible.
Saras was about to close his eyes when the sound of knocking on the door of his room sounded. And her mother-in-law's voice instructed her to get up.
"Just go in, Mom..."
Salma popped her head before coming in, "Mom didn't wake you, did she?"
"No ma'am, Saras hasn't slept kog"
Saras would take his feet off the bed, but Salma forbade him to stand.
"Have collapsed, I happen to want to give this to you" Salma's hands carried small white cups.
"Yesterday Mom had a phone call with your husband, he said that the night you often have trouble sleeping, not comfortable is the stomach already bigger?"
Saras grimaced, it turns out that secretly Paijo likes to confide in his mother. Maybe it's one of his efforts to be a standby husband. Ask more experienced people often. Not bad, inward Saras.
"That's what Mom?"
Salma carries two cups with different contents. One contained a white liquid and the other was slightly brownish-yellow.
Salma gave a small smile, it turns out that pregnant women now barely know a herb like this. Naturally, because what they know now is definitely only skincare with various brands and prices that vary.
"This white is called parem darling, if the somewhat brown is called sawanan"
"It used to fit Jae's pregnant mother, I also wear this"
"It just so happened that Mom had a subscription basket of herbs, so just stopped by her house for a while to buy this"
Saras listened, "keep it in the drink?"
Salma's laughter almost broke disturbing the sleep of her neighbor otherwise she endured as necessary.
"It's not in drinking, baby, you're so funny..."
"If you drink, of course, the glass container is not like this" Okay, Saras is stupid this time.
"this parem can be applied on your hands or feet, let the aches disappear"
"If the sawanan can be buried in your stomach, so it is more comfortable, no danger kog"
"Makanya I dare to recomend to you, the traditional way but hopefully can make you comfortable"
"Even if you drink herbal medicine, Mother forbid you, because the midwife or doctor said now it can not be yes"
"It's just on the outside, so no danger at all, want to try?"
After some thought, you can also try. Saras nodded while making a small ochre,
"By Ma'am, take it here let Saras try" Saras would have gotten up from his seat and grabbed the cup, but again prevented by his in-laws.
"Eh, you go and see me, let me smear, okay?!"
Saras was immediately startled, which meant that her mother-in-law would touch her feet. "Eh, don't ma'am, where can I touch Saras's feet, Saras is not very polite if I do that..."
"Hush.. like who, Mother is also your mother!"
Saras' heart rippled, treated this well by the Mother-in-law who was even her husband's stepmother. This woman is so kind and loving. They should be grateful to have a mother like Salma. Saras does not know how to forbid, it is not good to obey in-laws.
Gently and painstakingly, Salma began to sprinkle the parem onto Saras' arms and then down to Saras' feet. "Your feet are swollen, are they often like this? since when?" there was concern from Salma's question, Saras could feel that.
"Yes ma'am, lately, it's early when it's not.."
"Continue telling your midwife?"
"Already, said Midwife what, the tension every month is also stable, maybe this is the baby's birth"
"If you want to be with me tomorrow,"
Saras was moved, again Salma's good treatment made Saras remember Umikya. If there is Umik, maybe without hesitation Saras will be spoiled.
Umik, Saras....
"Finished, now it's your turn to your stomach"
"Try the negligence first, let all of you exemplify first"
"Thank you Ma'am, but Saras thinks Saras can be alone later, living in the kayak vines, right?"
Salma did not accept rejection. "Eh.. You guys, all your dirty hands, so you won't have to go to the bathroom to wash your hands"
"You should be ashamed, as well as Mother..."
Saras according again. Saras raised his negligee under his chest. At the bottom, he covered it with a blanket. Instantly the appearance of his distended stomach exposed without aling-aling. Saras was a bit embarrassed, but her mother-in-law praised her stomach instead.
"Oh Allah, your stomach is very good, unfortunately, even though it is this big, there is no Stretch Mark at all, even if you have a mother, it is all new, to the extent that the mother will fill each look at her own stomach, hehe...."
Saras could feel the soft touch of his mother-in-law's hand again, comfortable and felt immediately cess.cold, when the liquid object called sawanan was rubbed in Saras' stomach. Parem on the arms and legs also began to feel, like there was a sensation in the incandescent.
It smells good too, Saras likes it. Although when dry feet and hands become white-white.
"How does it taste good, doesn't it? anya..."
"Yes Ma'am, very comfortable, Saras stomach feels cool, relax, did not kayak before"
"Thank you, Mom... I'm really good with Saras"
"It's natural baby, I'm glad you're comfortable now"
"Well, what do you need before you go to bed? let me get you guys,"
Saras smiled gratefully, "thank you, ma'am, but everyone, Saras has been drinking milk, this is also ready for water, just in case Saras thirsty later"
Salma kissed Saras' forehead for a while, then piled up the two empty cups to take him out,
"Alright, then Mom's out now, you're sleeping well"
"sleep very well!"
"Of course Mother, thanks to the parem and the peace that I love, surely tonight Saras sleeps well and dreams beautifully, hehehe..."
Saras and Salma chuckled, if only they could not remember it was night. Maybe their conversation will continue until midnight.
"Udah sleeping! Don't laugh at yourself hlo"
"Hehe... I thought Saras was that crazy..."
"Well, maybe your parem and snack effects are so.." joked Salma.
Saras just sneered, and Salma's back was gone behind the tightly shut door.
Saras gently stroked his stomach, muttering,
don't worry, Mas, Umik, Saras is pouring so much affection here...
Perhaps this can be called 'The miracle of Parem and Sawan' because then in a matter of seconds, Saras was already lulled with his beautiful dreams.
Haha....
The frequent insomnia can be tried parem and sawanan as well, murce kog...πππ
