The next day, Elno takes Kara home, although the doctor advises her to stay for another night. Elno wanted it to be, but the state of the money was not possible. He hired an online taxi to pick up his beloved wife and their tiny baby.
No stop Kara peeping Finola's cheeks. Adorable white baby. Kara was eager to hold her tightly, like a doll sold in a store.
"Would you wake up if you continue to disturb" said Elno.
Kara grinned. "He's funny. Fragrant, her skin is soft again."
Elno looked at her sleeping daughter's face. According to the article that Elno read, newborns do sleep constantly. He'll wake up if he's thirsty or his diaper is wet.
"I'm working tonight. You're not okay with me living alone, are you?" elno.
"There's Finola with Mama."
Elno smiling. "Yes. You take good care of him."
"Surely," answered Kara.
Elno's feelings are not out of whack. She was happy to have a princess, but she was worried about their lives going forward. The money made is nothing. Even the expenditure is huge.
The car stopped not far from the rental house. Elno went down first followed by Kara with her baby. The neighbors who saw Kara, quickly approached.
Elno took a step back as the mothers surrounded his wife. The taxi car left immediately after Elno paid the fare.
"We go into the house first" said Elno.
"Yes. Let's get Kara in. We can't wait to see your children" said one of the neighbors.
Elno invited her neighbors in. He puts the baby mattress on the floor so Kara can put Finola on it. Neighbors near the house did not come empty handed. They brought their hands to the baby. There's baby body gear, places to eat, clothes and shoes.
"Don't forget to drink herbs, Kara. It's important for mothers to give birth" said Warni's mother.
"Eating must also be guarded. You breastfeed," said the other mother.
"Don't work heavy first. His seat was also guarded. Elno, you as a husband should take care of your wife."
Elno nodded quickly. "Yes, Mom."
"It's funny that Finola. Mom's pretty. Sweet dad. The kid's cute."
Kara smiled. "Thank you, Mom. Finola's happy with the prize."
"The first child should be welcomed" Ms Warni said.
Finola whined because of the noises that disturbed her sleep. Slowly, Kara grabbed her little daughter. At first he was afraid to hold a still soft baby. The nurse taught him and he learned quickly.
"Baby crying. We'd better go home. Come, Mothers. We go back to each other's homes" said Ms. Warni.
One by one Elno's neighbors withdrew from the house. Elno closed the door after they no longer looked out of sight.
Kara's nursing Finola. Elno feels funny because Kara is not shy to take hers out. Being a parent, everything will change. Including Kara.
"Where are my lips the same?" elno.
"What?" ask Kara.
"Finola straws" said Elno.
Kara blushed in shame. "What, anyway."
"Sit don't be so reckless."
"I sat on my side, nih. Wearing cloth makes it difficult to move" Kara said.
"Said the nurse, what to tie?" ask Elno.
"Same stomach feet."
"How do you want to move when tied up. Can't you breathe, you know?" elno.
Kara laughs. "Just so. Sister said it, really. He said to get my belly back slim and get it flat on the bottom."
Elno nodded even though she did not understand. He remembered the neighbor's words about herbal medicine after giving birth.
Kara shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know."
"Try searching the internet."
Elno began looking for ways to care for postpartum women. He found several brands of herbal medicine, but Elno chose the famous one, namely Pure Lady Jamu.
"I went to the market to buy you herbs" said Elno.
"There's money?" ask Kara.
"To buy you herbal medicine, I exist, really."
The door opened, Elno stepped away with her motorcycle. The money Tedy gave us is still there. At least enough for the next few days while waiting for his monthly salary to drop.
...****************...
"Kara!" call Elno.
"Home home?" kara from the kitchen.
Elno walked over to his wife. "What are you doing?"
"I cooked rice. It's ripe, really. I'm hungry" Kara said.
"Mothers breastfeed she said will be hungry continuously" said Elno.
"You're diligent in finding information about the woman who finished giving birth."
"Yes, dong. I want to be a caring husband. Here I bring you herbs and fruit. You eat so Finola has the nutrition."
Kara laughs. "ASI more nutrients."
"Yes, but you have to eat a lot. Don't get tired either. Let me just finish the house. You just rest the same way take care of Finola."
Kara nodded. "Yes. Now we eat. I've fried an omelet."
As always, simple meals are still delicious if you enjoy being with a loved one. Kara is voracious with only fried eggs and white rice. Elno's eyes unintentionally looked at the rice jar. There was not a single grain of rice left there.
"Tomorrow early in the morning, I'll go shopping" said Elno.
"Don't forget to buy tofu," said Sara.
"Presents."
After eating, Elno prepared to go to work. He slipped two hundred thousand under Kara's clothes just in case.
"I go first" said Elno.
"You be careful."
Elno gave a kiss on Kara's forehead. He also kissed Finola's cheeks before leaving. Seeing the princess, Elno wants to meet her parents. Who knows with the presence of grandchildren, they will melt his heart.
"What's wrong?" ask Kara.
Elno jerks. "It's okay. I'm leaving."
Elno exited the house by locking the door. Kara heard the motor turn on, then moved away.
...****************...
Elno deliberately drove a motorcycle towards her home. It slows down the speed of two-wheeled vehicles to simply monitor. His parents' car is in the garage, which means he must be at home.
Elno remembers the last time she and Kara went there. They're expelled. His father's disappointment was too deep. Elno even said that he had studied, but it did not shake the hearts of his parents.
"That's it if they don't want to know me anymore. I can support my family, really," muttered Elno.
It discourages the intention to return. Elno drove her two-wheeler back to work.
