The Twin Girls Exchange

Chapter 1

"Aaaaaaaaarrrrggghhhhh.." the voice of a young woman's cry was heard several times inside a rickety hut, with her two middle-aged women accompanying her.

"Let's get a little more, breathe out. throw it through your mouth, pull it again." said one of the middle-aged women who was none other than a baby shaman leading the young woman to give birth.

"Aaaaaaagghhhhhh.... Huh huh, huh.."

"Ooooeeeeekkkk ooeeekkk.." there was the sound of a baby crying.

"Alhamdulillah." said the baby shaman, "Let's Bu ready for the second." The baby shaman did not at all give a pause for the young woman to replenish the energy that had been drained.

"The mouth of her womb is still wide open now" she explained. "But the second baby is in the breech position,"

"You have to push even stronger." he added .

"Aaaa.aaaagggghhh.huh...huh.."

As soon as the baby's leg is seen coming out, the baby shaman immediately pulls it out. It was clear that the woman was in so much pain because she tried to push back with the rest of her strength.

"Thank God your twins were born healthy and perfect."

Immediately the baby shaman wrapped a towel and cleaned the twins.

On the other hand, a middle-aged woman who had been anxious to see the delivery process now looked a little calm. He approached the woman who had given birth earlier, looking at her fixedly. "Thank God you could have given birth to your twins normally, otherwise I would have kicked you out. This way you do not add a large expenditure to your husband" he said.

"But there's one more problem" he added.

"What's the matter, ma'am?" answer the young woman.

"Your son is a twin."

"Why Ma'am? It's not that I knew from the beginning, what's the problem?" he asked tremblingly clutching his bedsheet.

"Are you stupid and can't think? We are poor, just eating a hard day. And now have all the twins. You don't feel sorry for my son every day toil overtime home the night slamming, like now he's out of town can't go home because he wants to get extra. Don't you understand what I mean?" he was long with a murmur.

Yes, the middle-aged woman is none other than Ms. Ami in-laws herself. Indeed from the beginning his in-laws never approve of their relationship, do not like even arguably hate Agni, his own daughter-in-law.

Agni nodded her head "I understand Mom, now what do you want?"

Ms. Ami commented on the thin smile "I will bring one of your children to give to a husband and wife who do not have children" she said as she closed her eyes.

Agni widened her eyes surprised "Ti. no Ma'am. I don't want to lose one of my children, I beg you" she said with tears that had seeped out.

I know you didn't like it when I was pregnant with twins, because it would add a burden to my husband. Therefore he has tried several times to abort my son and also once tried to kill me.

But it seems that the power of Allah SWT is indeed great, Allah protects me and my future children. And now I have felt the struggle of a mother who gave birth to her child with immense pain and the gamble of life. 'No, I won't let mom separate me and my two kids.' her inner.

Ms. Ami then grabbed Agni's hair strongly "Heh, I do not ask for your opinion or decision, because you are not entitled to anything here" he said, releasing his hand to Agni's hair.

"No.. Ma'am, I beg you.. I'll do whatever you ask as long as you don't separate me and my son. Hiks.." Agni held her father-in-law's hand and pleaded with him.

Miss Ami brushed Agni's hand away "Even though you have to leave my child?" ask the middle-aged woman.

Agni seemed to think for a moment before she finally nodded her head.

Perhaps this is the best way for a married couple who are in a relationship without parental blessing, a painful choice of separation.

'I'm sorry mas, I was forced to leave you because I didn't want to lose the child who had just been present in my life.' inwardly.

No tears kept flowing out soaking Agni's cheeks. A beautiful, pure white woman with a sharp nose aged 25 years. She is a good and strong woman. No one knows that as long as she was the wife of Bayu a pelvic porters and odd jobs worker in the area near the city, she was always treated harshly and unkindly by her own mother-in-law. Not to mention the daily homework ranging from sweeping, cooking, washing clothes he all did. Even though Agni was pregnant, there was no compassion from her in-laws and still told her to work.

But Agni is a strong woman, she is looking for additional jobs such as washing clothes belonging to neighbors and helping to clean the neighboring house. All the work he did was sincere. But the results of his efforts have always been taken by his in-laws without leaving a penny for Agni.

Agni remained patient even more because she loved her husband very much, whatever she was willing to do so that her mother-in-law was happy. Even her husband did not know that until now. That was because the in-laws were always kind and gentle to Agni when Bayu was among them. Their work and poverty also made Bayu work hard until late at night and did not even go home to find additional work for his family. Because not only his wife, Bayu also had to support his mother.

Bu Ami was surprised when Agni preferred to leave her husband. He thought for a moment 'Did he not love Bayu? If he prefers his children then I won't benefit, can't. I have to do something.

"Well, if that's what you want, I'll follow your will. Rest first, you look very tired. Later we talk again, of course you have to leave before your husband returns tomorrow" he said as he passed leaving Agni's room.

Agni sat up, she let out a long and heavy sigh before she looked at her twins. A faint smile adorned his lips. 'At least mom still has you my son' she murmured.

The shaman had finished his task before he put Agni's baby to sleep on the table next to his bed. He looked at the little baby's face while smiling.

"You're so similar, how can you tell the difference?"

"Oh, you have the mole here, baby." she said, stroking the tiny hand to the right of her baby. The mole is as big as a green bean, at least there is still a difference between the two. Because when viewed physically, twins are very similar. His eyes were round, nose pointed and mouth small, even his skin was pure white. Doesn't look like a village boy in general. In fact Agni himself is actually statured like not a village person. He was an orphan, since childhood he lived in an orphanage in the village. Who his biological parents are to this day he does not know.

After being satisfied to see his son Agni was asleep, he was very tired.

On the other hand, Bu Ami was seen pacing back and forth while lowering his head, appearing to think hard.

Shortly after that he peeked back from behind Agni's bedroom door. 'It's asleep, I have to act fast. ' he murmured .

Then he stepped to settle the precipitate towards a table covered with cloth stacked up next to Agni's bed. The twin babies were placed there because there was no mattress anymore while the bed Agni herself was a narrow cot and there was no mattress on it only with a thin mat.

'Did I take two of them, huh? Ah no no, later Bayu can be suspicious.' he murmured.

Then he picked up and held one of Agni's babies and passed away leaving the room.

***

A few hours later, Agni woke up and sat down to see her baby. And how surprised he was when he saw that only one baby was there still sound asleep. His heart feels like it's going to fall. He tried to walk and then shouted to his mother-in-law.

"Mothers.. Mother.. Mother where? Ibuu..hu.hu..hu.." she was unable to hold back her tears, her breathing was irregular, in her mind had suspected that her mother-in-law was carrying away her child.

"Oh God my son.. What did my mother-in-law do?" he kept crying.

Until finally the voice of someone sounded soaring "Whispering the hell you scream, yell crazy huh? What huh?" Ami walked over to Agni.

Agni stood looking at her mother "Where is my son Mom, where did she take my son?"

"Huh! You want to know?"

Agni kept staring intently at her mother-in-law.

"Your children have given to others, they will take good care of it, you just calm down" he replied casually.

"What does mother mean? Not that I have chosen to leave the Bayu mas, why did the mother even take my child? why didn't you keep your mother's word? Do you not believe I am going? I'm calm because I'm going to keep it. I'll leave the mother's child, please give my child back." she said in a shouting tone and tears kept flowing.

The middle-aged woman immediately grabbed Agni's hair tightly "Udah dare you to fight me huh, huh! dare you scream in front of me?" His eyes bulged as he advanced his steps which made Agni more backward and squeezed into the wall.

"Basic rubbish! Do you want to oppose my decision? Listen, you stupid son-in-law, you have no right to voice your voice here. Even if it's your son, but I have the right to rule everything in this house including your life! So don't you want your rights to be fulfilled here! just accept your bad luck, you useless child!" obviously, while pulling the stronger Agni's long hair and throwing it tight, he also pushed Agni's body to fall away from him.

"Hiks. hicks.." Agni kept crying, her chest felt tight. Only a moment later did he feel the happiness of having twins, once again his happiness was snatched away by his mother-in-law. At this moment he was very confused, wanting to feel like he was fighting his in-laws but in his heart he was filled with deep fear. He wanted to get out of the house, but he was going to go where. He has no one else in the world.

'O God, what should I do? Do I have to complain to the Bayu mas only? Yes, I will tell you all about his mother's behavior because it concerns my son, he really has gone too far. It's enough mother treats me cruelly and always pretends in front of her inner Bayu.' mas.

"What hah see look, there go!" madam Bu Ami's.

Agni stood up, but fell down. She grimaced and felt her body still sick and weak after giving birth.

"The base is weak and useless!"
