Aksara For Arsyilla
Sharing Feelings and Subjections
Once the birthday party had finished, and all the families had already returned to their homes. Aksara and Arsyilla chose to rest in the room, while Ara was already sound asleep. Maybe because of the tiredness and too exciting to play with Eyang, Oma, Opa, and Uncle, now Ara fell asleep so soundly.
Even this time, Arsyilla has stopped giving ASI directly to Ara. However, ASIP, which is still stored in the refrigerator, is still given to Ara. At least spend ASI stock in the refrigerator only.
“Minum ASI wear dodot huh Honey?” ask Aksara to his wife.
That's because Ara who used to drink ASI directly from the source, belonging to the Mother, now has to get used to drinking ASIP from the dodot. Meanwhile, if the stock of ASIP is up, Ara should also get acquainted with formula milk.
“Pity is actually Honey .. but how else. Cannot give ASI while pregnant yah?” ask Aksara to his wife.
Seemed Arsyilla shook his head, “I the hell do not know Kak .. only I have not been to the Doctor, have not consulted, so well .. I stop,” reply Arsyilla with teary eyes.
Honestly, actually stopping giving ASI to Ara made Arsyilla very sad. At the time Ara was still so in need of nutrients from ASI, but because Arsyilla was pregnant, then giving ASI was forced to be stopped. Arsyilla took this step also because pregnant women who are still breastfeeding their children more correctly can cause mild contractions due to the production of the hormone oxytocin while breastfeeding which generally harms the fetus and allows the baby to be born prematurely. In addition, ASI can turn into colostrum that is saltier and less sweet, so it can make children reluctant to suckle. In addition, physically pregnant women also become more easily tired and sleepy. To reduce this risk, Arsyilla chose to forcibly stop the bonding activities with Ara through giving ASI directly.
Aksara who listened to his wife's words nodded his head, “So risky huh Honey?” tanyakanya.
“I think it's risky, Sister ... It's just that I don't know. Sometimes there are doctors who give advice can continue to give ASI of course if the condition of pregnant women is healthy, good, and prime. Sadly like gini loh, had to release ASI by force,” reply Arsyilla.
Hearing his wife's words, Aksara immediately embraced his wife's shoulder and hugged her. For, Aksara fully knows that Arsyilla needs a place to lean. There are many thoughts filling his brain right now. It's just, to parse it is not easy.
“Sorry Yes Honey .. because you can not hold that time,” said Aksara.
“Do not apologize, Brother. Can only undergo,” reply Arsyilla.
Fully Arsyilla thought that everything had already happened. Rice has become porridge, and she is also already pregnant. So, yes already .. can only undergo. Maintain the pregnancy as well as possible and while caring for Ara well.
“Yes, however, this is also because I cannot resist my desires. Sorry, just I promise. I will always be a support system for you,” reply Aksara sincerely.
Now, both are silent. Weighing in the heart of each other's feelings. However, Arsyilla fully believes that her husband will always help her. Become the primary support system for him.
“Next week at most, Kak .. pregnant second it feels more relaxed anyway. It's just, I thought of him to Ara. He doesn't know what that brother is yet. He can't talk yet. Just to the extent of what, yayah, nda, this, and not much vocabulary that he mastered,” reply Arsyilla.
A Mother's heartbreak, when the Eldest is too small, while the Mother has to return to pregnancy. Still feel that the Eldest needs nurturing and teaching from the Mother, but with pregnancy, of course, a Mother must share her attention and affection. The baby is still in the stomach, but also needs attention and affection.
“Sabar Honey .. later we foster slowly. I will always help you. The aura will definitely grow optimally. All milestones will be reached,” reply Aksara.
“Hopefully Brother,” reply Arsyilla.
Afterwards, Arsyilla felt a little dizzy. So he wants to go to his bed. Takes time to fall.
“Ke yuk bed Kak .. I'm a bit dizzy,” lamented at this time.
One of the symptoms of pregnancy is feeling dizzy. It can happen because pregnant women lack blood. Therefore, Arsyilla wanted to rebound first. Although not yet sleepy, but if you continue to sit, his head is getting sick, and his eyes are swirling.
“Yuk,” reply Aksara. The man stood up and took his wife by the hand on his bed. Even Aksara pulled a blanket to cover the chest up to his wife's feet. Truly, Aksara is a good and understanding husband. Whatever he can do he will do for Arsyilla.
“If you want to bobok, yes just bobok Honeyku .. right you also need rest and enough sleep,” said Aksara.
“I am not yet sleepy Brother .. just dizzy. Strangely enough, I have been a few days suddenly tired like this. Whereas in the past, pregnant Ara I was very healthy, no complaints at all. It is precisely you who got Couvade Syndrom,” reply Arsyilla.
Aksara also smiled, “Iya .. I am morning sickness. If you want it now, it's nothing. It is important that you and Baby Dedek here are healthy, I have a sympathetic pregnancy again no problem,” reply.
It was not just a mere joke, but Aksara willingly experienced morning sickness every morning as long as Arsyilla can stay healthy. His wife's health is very important to him.
“Tuh, Dedek Baby ... Dengerin Daddy tuh. Mommy is in good health, the morning sickness Daddy only well,” said Arsyilla by rubbing her stomach.
A little chat and sharing thoughts and heart contents like this is very good for maintaining harmony and communication between couples. Time in between work and parenting every day can be used to chat, joke with each other, give a form of affection through speech. Just like Arsyilla who was initially troubled by her pregnancy and also with Ara who released ASI. However, by sharing the story with her husband, Arsyilla seems to know that in this household she is not alone. He married and had a husband who was always there for him. For all that, Arsyilla was sure to undergo a second pregnancy and at the same time care for Ara well.
