The Waiting of Alya's Love
Chapter 42
It has been four days Alya and her baby are being treated at the hospital that her grandmother passed on to her uncle Nathan. Ary's grandson from his only daughter was declared healthy. But not for the baby.
The baby, named Abimana, still had to be in an incubator because it was born prematurely, only 28 weeks in the womb. His lungs were not functioning properly so he had to stay in the hospital. Since the hospital belongs to the family, Alya is free to stay until when she wants.
"Honey, the pump used to be its ASI. Later when Bima needs to stay in heatin," persuaded Reno who saw the wife looked dreamy.
Reno tries to comfort the wife who lost one of their children. Actually he was also sad to have lost his flesh blood. However, he must be strong in front of Alya so that the wife does not get sadder.
In order not to daydream much, Reno often invites his wife to talk or do light activities. As this time, he asked the wife to pump breast MILK because it had been three hours the woman had not breastfed or pumped her breast MILK. The man was afraid of an abscess because the ASI was restrained and clotted.
Reno handed Alya an ASI pump and was accepted by his wife with a forced and irritated face. Women who have just held the title of mother do not like to be disturbed when daydreaming. His longing for the child is slightly treated by daydreaming, even though he knows it is not good for his soul.
Raka and Shofie's son-in-law painstakingly took care of all the needs of the wife. He always massages Alya's back every time breastfeeding or pumping ASI so that the wife feels relaxed so that ASI that comes out smoothly and a lot. This is done as a recommendation from the doctor who handles Alya.
Shofie and Listyawati also no less in advising Alya, to be sincere with the death of Abhimanyu in the womb. Both also advised the young mother to focus on the baby who is still struggling to live today.
Days passed, thanks to Reno's patience in taking care of his wife. Finally, now Alya has started to improve and never again daydreaming while shedding tears. The state of Baby Abimana was very healthy and her weight had risen dramatically to 2600 grams.
The baby who started the puffing has been allowed to go home from the hospital since the age of three weeks. One week later, she's five weeks old. The plan, Reno will hold an aqiqah and blessings for the abundant fortune of God today.
"Mama, um deck," said Mentari approaching the mother.
The two-year-old wanted to kiss his sister. His pussy cheeks he close to the sister who is asleep in the lap of the mother. Mentari always wanted to be near his sister and hold hands or feet, even Abimana's stomach once he pressed so anxious to see the sister.
"May, but slowly kiss her," said Alya while bringing Baby Abimana closer to Mentari.
The baby girl kissed her baby sister's cheeks with pressure, so the baby pin wriggled and whined in surprise. Abhimana also cried and made the older brother who was still a toddler cry because of fear. The mother tried to calm the baby by swinging her left arm slowly, while saying words of persuasion so that the brother was silent.
Not how long the cry of the baby subsides, in contrast to the brother who is still as unwilling. The father, who heard the sound of crying in his room, rushed in to calm the child.
"Papa's son why, hmm? Beautiful if the cry continues," asked Reno as she approached her daughter.
"Li um dek, dek angis," said Mentari scattered between his sobs.
"Well, is it Li?" ask the boy then with a frightened face.
"Papa mama is not angry with Mentari. The next time you want to kiss adek, slowly do not be pressed so that it does not hurt," replied Reno in a soft voice.
"Ma?" Mentari's eyes looked at the mother with teary eyes, as if asking whether her father's words were true or not.
"Yes, Honey. Mom is not angry. I was shocked because I just slept. Don't cry anymore, okay?"
The aqiqah event took place in the afternoon, attended by some of the closest neighbors as well as relatives, as well as some office friends where Reno is on duty. In addition to inviting guests to their home, Reno also sent two aqiqah goats and a sembako to the orphanage. The man deliberately did that so that Alya was not exhausted.
The event began with a joint prayer led by a famous ustadz, Gus Mistah. Then, the event continued with a haircut of the baby. The show ended with a meal together.
The cheerful faces of Reno and Alya in welcoming the invited guests. They wore matching colors, as did their two children. The smile never faded from the young couple's lips throughout the event until the farewell guest came home.
"Alhamdulillah, finally run too. May bring blessings to all," said Alya gratefully for the blessings God gave her family.
"Saucer, hmm?" asked Reno from behind Alya's body, then her hands were beautifully wrapped around her waist.
"A little bit, but I'm happy. The event went well and all the invited guests were present. Where's the part that doesn't make you happy and unhappy?"
"Alhamdulillah yes, dear."
Suddenly Reno crouched down in front of his wife after saying hamdallah, making the woman of two children immediately pull the husband to stand.
"Thank you, honey. I am willing to forgive and accept this sinful and wrongful me. Thank you for completing my life so that it becomes this perfect. I will always love you first, now and in the future" Reno said in a loving gaze.
"What the hell are you talking about, Mas? I should thank you for being loved by a man like you. I am so happy with this marriage. Although there are many obstacles that we must take to unite. I'm sure that'll further strengthen our love."
"I love you ...." The two men spoke simultaneously and then hugged each other.
Mentari and Abimana became the snare of the grandparents. Although not the first grandchild of the Harya Kusuma family, they love Reno's two children very much. Mentari is gleeful and funny, while Abimana is adorable because her eyes are always closed if she is in anyone's arms.
Alya and Reno looked at them while embracing with fluffy smiles.
"May happiness always accompany the steps of our household journey."
