A Friend to Jenna
Chapters 15. Karolina the Mother of Rempong

The situation in Sentul is getting more tense. Understandably after yesterday Farhan brought Karolina to check her pregnancy at the place of practice doctor Felisha Sudrajat. According to the obstetrician, the location of the breech baby. Since then Karolina's face grew pale, between fear, anxiety and doubt.

Until Mama Amanda also changed several meetings with her business colleagues in order to always accompany her daughter when checking her pregnancy regularly, every two weeks.

" Mama, is Jenna that busy? How very, very same cousin this.." Karolina complained one day when calling her cousin who every week there was a job outside the office that forced her to visit several cities in Java.

Oma Frida is always by the side of her grandchildren. Anyway almost all members of the Damash family are always near the house before the delivery of Karolina.

"Don't complain, baby! " persuade Mama Amanda. "It's also free for you to wait for Jenna. In fact, he will run away if he hears you cry and scream in the delivery room.  Even the child is afraid of marriage and must have children!"

" Why do women have to be like this! Just graduated college asked when to marry ? Married, not pregnant yet?   Uh, already have a child, asked again, how much do you want a child?  Very nice...."

The woman just laughed at the babbling of her son. Well, because the grandfather who had cut the wings of freedom Karolina who was busy career in the world of modeling at that time. Even at that time his son's career was good because many received offers from several Indonesian designers to follow fashion shows abroad. Even become a model of various classy products from beauty products to jewelry.

It turns out that Opa was less fond of the lifestyle and association of Karolina in the entertainment world. Especially after Karolina prefers to live in an apartment, until Jenna was invited to live there, as her backing.  It turns out that Karolina is in a relationship with one of the actors who is famous as Don Juan, because he has been divorced twice!

The Opa summoned Karlina Anita Damash to Sentul with all the advice that began meekly until finally came out the ultimatum of the general, so that his granddaughter cut off the relationship with the actor.

It turns out that Opa got information from several business partners, as well as a man who worked on an online news about the actor's life that was not far from the sensation and gossip.

Until his grandson was led to get acquainted with Farhan, the son of a famous figure from the city of Bogor, Zaenuddin Hisbillah. The man and Opa Damash had a friendly relationship as well as several businesses in the city and surrounding areas.

Every morning, Farhan accompanies his wife on a walk - a walk around the entire Damash family housing complex until out of the highway to the park in the cluster housing next to him. Various suggestions from doctors have been undertaken Karolina. Until his wife was afraid of being abandoned by her husband while working.

"Wanna go home?" farhan asked, seeing the sweat dripping on his forehead and his wife's face. They walked less than 500 meters.

"It hurts, Mom! " Rintih Karolina while holding her stomach.

" Here, sit down first. Rest. Pull the Breath ! "

Farhan had been the most patient man and the standby husband all along. Luckily, Oma Frida and Amanda's mother are calm and can strengthen the heart of his wife. So Karolina was quite calm facing when she was about to give birth to her first son.

" Why is his wife Mr Farhan? " ask a security guard standing guard at the housing outpost, who immediately approaches them.

Some officers and residents of the cluster housing recognize Farhan and Karolina who almost every morning diligently walk in the park and along this residential highway. Moreover, they are members of Mr. Damash's family whose name is quite respected by the surrounding community.

" I'm sorry, Sir! Can I ask for help. My wife seems to be giving birth!" Pinta Farhan is worried.

This Sunday he accompanied Karolina on a leisurely walk, but forgot her hape, because he was very attentive to the explanation from doctor Felisha that Karolina's delivery was expected to occur between two or three weeks.

The security man immediately called his friend through a liaison device he always carried. Before long came another officer carrying an N-max motorbike.

Farhan immediately lifted his wife into the motorcycle seat. Farhan held Karolina behind him. Along the way Karolina continued to complain and whimper, making Farhan added senewen. So that a couple forgets all kinds of ways to prepare themselves in a desperate situation. Buy all those ways that they learn from the diligent pregnant gymnastics Karolina follows or from the video.

The white motorbike drove quickly down the housing until it penetrated the main highway . There is a crossroads that is quite crowded because the road connects the area with other regions.

After passing through the intersection, there is a maternity clinic building that is not too big with green writing with the symbol of mother and baby" Indri Maternity Clinic." They were greeted by an officer who quickly pushed a wheelchair.

" Doctor, there's a doctor! " Call Farhan in a panic. Karolina was already helpless.

"Sir Farhan, let me call the guy at your house! " said Mr. security officer housing next door, directly back up to his motorbike.

"Oh, Yes. Majid sir! Thank you in advance..."

Farhan was asked to fill in the data at the registration table. But Karolina instead cried hysterically because her husband left for a while.  The Indri midwife, who lives behind the clinic, immediately treated her first patient in the sunny and warm week of the morning.

Every question asked by the mother midwife who looked very experienced, only answered Karolina with a brick-and-mortar voice and tears running down her face.

" It's okay, Mother. Relax, yeah..."

The voice of a nurse who had helped Midwife Indri lifted Karolina from a wheelchair onto the bed while being examined.

Before long, Karolina was already lying quietly. Indri midwives are experienced enough to face new mothers who are always easy to panic and was-wash and fear when facing contractions in their uterus.

Not until thirty minutes, the Damash family group came to the clinic. Starting from Amanda's mother who only had time to replace her negligee with a kaftan batik dress but only wear flip-flops. Before long Oma Frida and Opa Damash were also still wearing their sports uniforms, in the form of heart-healthy gymnastics that they did in the backyard.

It turns out that Midwife Indri knew Amanda Damash Wirawan's mother, who often brought several young mothers from the village across this housing estate to give birth in this clinic.

Usually they come from poor families, and Amanda's mother will pay for all the expenses of giving birth to the women she helps. Some of them are residents of immigrants but still hold ID cards from the region so it is not recorded in the local village.

" My son is good, right, Miss Indri? Dr. Felisha's estimate is still 2 weeks away at the earliest."

" It's okay. It was just a fake contraction! Later If Madam Karolina is calm enough, can be taken home."

The two independent women continued to talk in the Clinic office space. " Don't you think, Amanda's mom wants to be a grandma?"

There was only a cheerful laugh from Amanda's mother who felt mocked. " I'm old, Madam Midwife...Even Karolina's cousin who is the same age as her, her children are twins and already three years old!"

" Mom must take care of the diet, yes.The position of the baby is normal, really " Said Midwife Indria when checking the state of Karolina last time. Before they take Karolina back to Damash's residence.

The family used two different cars.  Arriving home, it looks like Karolina's father who just returned from his departure to Jakarta is increasingly anxious to see the arrival of his eldest daughter who got off the car and was swept by Farhan, her husband.
