The Toga Rahayu

Ngidam Rahayu

Now Rahayu's days are decorated with endless nausea and vomiting, her small body so limp helpless to face this first pregnancy. Unlike women in general who can still do small activities, Rahayu was really sick in her first pregnancy.

Not in the heart of the condition of the daughter-in-law makes Mama moved to take care of Rahayu, Mama will come early in the morning before Andika leaves for campus. Mama prepared all the needs both for Andika and Rahayu. Mama will be home when Andika has arrived to teach.

Mama also brought along her ART to help Rahayu when mama could not come to their house. All the families are so alert in looking after Rahayu, this makes Merisa more upset for her. Merisa no longer has a gap to come to Rahayu's house. Strictly mama always refused her presence if she was visiting on the grounds that Rahayu needed a rest first.

Three months have since been declared pregnant, now her condition is gradually improving and getting stronger through activities as usual, as usual, although to complete domestic duties at home her mother-in-law confers her Art to live together with Rahayu and Andika. Mbah Minah one of Mama's confidants who has served twenty-five years more at Mama Andika's house also took care of Andika from childhood.

Not infrequently Rahayu a little hesitant when asking for help from Mbah Minah because of their age difference is very far. Although Mbah Minah is old enough, Mbah Minah is still very deft in helping to take care of the house. Not infrequently Minah also tells about Andika's childhood to Rahayu who sometimes makes her laugh happily. Mbah Minah also gives a lot of advice about life and ways to cope with pregnancy.

Mama advised Mbah Minah to really take care of Rahayu if Andika is not home, she said, Mama also advised not to accept guests first other than those who have been known during Rahayu's condition has not been completely fit. It's true that Mama's actions are so overprotective to protect Rahayu from the evil intentions of Mersa who repeatedly failed to enter the house.

At exactly twelve in the night, Rahayu woke up from her sleep, her eyes flickering at the wall clock in her room. Rahayu looked at Andika's face for quite a while then shook her body slowly.

“Mas wake up mas..”. Call him so spoiled.

“Mas come on wake up I'm hungry once”, he said again still with spoiled mode which is very disturbing calm Andika.

Hearing the voice of his wife who was so spoiled and seducing made Andika powerless and opened her eyes.

“Iya dear what is it?”. He answered with a distinctive hoarse voice waking up.

“Lapar Mas I want to eat, he replied gently.

“Yes already, Mas accompany eat under”, replied Andika by stretching her muscles collect all her life.

“But I want to eat mas”.

“Ok tomorrow Buy now sleep first baby, look at twelve o'clock at night. I sleepy once”. Andika tries to put Rahayu's body to sleep.

While Rahayu refused to do so, she sulked and did not want to look at Andika.

“I'm hungry now, want to eat seblak”. He answered with a manyun and turned his back to Andika.

“Belikan now Mas, I beg you to buy this our baby who asked, is it not dear?”, replied Rahayu by stroking his stomach which began to contain a little.

Andika is still reluctant to get out of her bed considering looking for a spot where the clock is.

“Mas come on, he said love, he said dear”. Now Rahayu changed mode dusel approached in the arms of Andika. Sometimes Rahayu kissed the corner of her husband's lips briefly for a bowl of hot fruiting cloth imagining it had made his saliva almost drip.

Andika who got an impromptu attack quickly widened her eyes, opened her eyes perfectly her consciousness immediately returned one hundred percent.

“Well then buy it, wait, my dear”, Andika starts to stand up and kiss his wife back.

Andika stood up from her bed and looked back at the wall clock in her room.

“Dear really want to eat seblak? Can't you just delay eating tomorrow? Look dear it's twelve o'clock at night, is there anyone selling it at this hour?, where should I buy it? Has Mbak Kunti been selling this hour?”. Andika crouched down to his wife begging him not to buy her a midnight cloth like this.

“Ya already if you don't want papa, turn make it diligent once, turn already be his son in ask please buy a little don't want!, but this is what he wants his son is not me!. Rahayu again sulked now by covering all her body with a blanket.

“Good son, Papa will find seblak for you dear for you and Mama, Papa willing to wander midnight looking seblak”. Andika stroked his wife's stomach covered in a blanket.

“Sadly if you later meet mbak Kunti how?”, the question is still trying to ask for relief so as not to run off midnight looking seblak.

“Ya invite all acquaintances why mas”.answer with jutek.

Andika was still pacing around in the room, thinking about where the person selling at this hour was.

“Mas Dika is not really dear to me, told to buy seblak not want to hiks hyks hiks”. Rahayu sobbed.

“Yes Allah when only as a doang”. Andika in his heart.

Andika increasingly confused and restless when Rahayu did not go to stop her crying even more so - so like a child who was asking for candy to his father.

“Iya darling I leave first ya”.

Rahayu sat in front of the TV room waiting for the return of Andika looking for seblak, not forgetting she took some healthy snacks that had been specially prepared by her mother-in-law. Unfeeling Rahayu spent a packet of bread with cheese.

What's more annoying than this is waking up in the middle of the night and being told to look for seblak. Andika looking here and there seblak sellers who are still open. The result is nothing to find at all the sellers who are still open.

Now Andika runs her car to the center of Batu city hoping there is a sell seblak and still open. After traveling almost forty minutes finally Andika found a person who sold seblak and still open. Young kaula hangout shop that is open 24 hours in the Batu city square area.

Andika ordered two packs of seblak with a level of zero, so that his wife did not have stomach pain later. Quickly after getting the seblak he immediately went home.

Arriving at the house Rahayu welcomed her husband's arrival with a smile that was so happy to make Andika relieved to be able to obey his wife's wishes.

“This is a pity asblak”, His hand outstretched giving the package seblak.

“I am full mas, eat bread fresh one pack”, he answered so lightly and sauntered into the room.

Andik nangis in the corner with a package of seblak in hand.
