Aksara For Arsyilla
The Estimated Day of Birth
A few days before the estimated day of birth (HPL), in the evening Arsyilla feels restless. Sleep becomes not soundly, the waist begins to ache, breathing also feels so engrossed. In addition, Arsyilla also had to repeatedly go to the bathroom to urinate. Arsyilla thinks that in the last few nights, the quality of his sleep has decreased. Like tonight, the middle of the night Arsyilla woke up. The woman had actually tried to close her eyes and hoped that drowsiness would come soon, in fact it was in vain, because her eyes were reluctant to be closed.
Realizing his wife's anxiety, Aksara also woke up. "Why Honey, how do you wake up at this hour? It's still early in the morning" he said as he rubbed his wife's waist.
"I can't sleep, Brother ... suddenly wake up. It is old to close the eyes, even more can not sleep. Sorry to disturb your sleep" he replied by rubbing his stomach.
"No bother .. I don't even care, you say I'm nothing. I will be friends later. No sign of labor yet, is it Honey? Must be more sensitive. I will always be on standby. Want to drink warm water? Let me get it first," he bargained with his wife.
Arsyilla quickly shook her head, "No Sister. Later, I went back and forth to the bathroom" he replied.
Indeed, in the age of increasing content, Arsyilla can be three to five times back and forth to the bathroom.
"Then, how's Honey? What can I do?" ask Aksara. It feels that Aksara himself wants to give more attention to his pregnant wife. After all the estimated day of birth will soon arrive, so Aksara should also be a more alert man.
"Father sleep first, I put it this way first .. hopefully after this I can get sleepy and can sleep," she replied by lying down and leaning her head on the chest of her husband's field.
Inhaling the fresh and soothing aroma of woody, and also listening to her husband's heartbeat beating in rhythm. Hopefully Arsyilla will also fall asleep soon, because it is still early morning. There's still time to fall asleep.

A few days later. Arsyilla prepared various teaching materials for the classes she taught, as well as she submitted various learning tools ranging from Syllabus, Learning Implementation Plan, and, until the Learning Contract to the assistant lecturer who will replace her during her maternity leave. Sitting at the table with the laptop still on, several times Arsyilla moved her head left and right. If you have been sitting too long, Arsyilla will stand up and walk for a while to stretch the muscles in her waist that feels starting to hurt.
"The estimated day of your birth is only three days away ... Brother wants to be born when? Love the signs to Mother well .. so that Mother can call your Father as soon as possible. If you can, the signs and waves of love when Dad is at home, sister," said Arsyilla to her baby who is still in her womb.
Indeed some days, Arsyilla fret waiting for signs of labor that also has not appeared to this day. He was waiting for the love signals his baby would send to him, so he was not anxious in case of sudden labor.
Feeling that her waist was more relaxed, Arsyilla then sat back down and sent all the materials and learning contracts to her teaching assistant via email. After that, Arsyilla stood up again because she wanted to take the drinking water that was on the nightstand. When standing, apparently Arsyilla felt her stomach tight and felt wet at the base of her thighs.
The pregnant woman immediately walked towards the bathroom, apparently a patch of blood and water came out and was seen in her pants. Suddenly cold sweat just came out, and seeing the blood, Arsyilla felt dizzy. Trying not to panic too much, Arsyilla changed her clothes, she also used a bandage that might help if there were blood spots again. Arsyilla soon contacted her husband.
Ara's Dad
"Sister," said Arsyilla by bringing the phone closer to her ear.
"Yes, what's wrong Honey?" ask Aksara when she gets the call.
"So, not busy? Allowing you to go home now? My stomach was tight, and there was a patch of blood" Arsyilla said.
As much as possible Arsyilla spoke calmly and tried not to panic. Because, if she panics that there is her husband will follow in panic. Her husband also had to drive the car. Therefore, Arysilla told her husband calmly.
"Maybe it's time Honey .. be patient, wait for me," replied Aksara who started running, asked for permission to the personnel section, and then took her car which was in the parking lot.
While waiting for Aksara to arrive from her office, Arsyilla immediately contacted Mama Khaira to come to the house and look after Ara. Maybe the wet liquid earlier is amniotic fluid that has begun to seep. Not long after, apparently Mama Khaira arrived at the Arsyilla residence first.
“Where is Syilla?” mama Khaira asked her daughter. It will be Arsyilla's second pregnancy, but Mama Khaira also feels panic.
"The stomach is sometimes tight, Ma .. equally want to urinate continuously. There was only blood and seepage. Maybe the formation seeped again like the time of giving birth to Ara first," the story with the mother.
At least Mama Khaira was already in her house, so Arsyilla could be a little calmer. She can entrust Ara to Mama Khaira, then she and Aksara will both fight again to give birth to their second daughter.
"If you want to be born, his granddaughter Eyang is soon born well .. pity your Mother if you have to feel pain for too long," said Mama Khaira by rubbing Arsyilla's stomach.
"Thank You Mama .. forgive Arsyilla if you have been wrong to Mama. Pray for this second delivery smoothly and can be faster," he said.
Mama Khaira's tears were just like that, as soon as it felt like hearing an apology from her daughter. "Mommy will forgive you ... Mama also wishes that this time delivery is smooth and safe for you and the baby" said Mama Khaira.
Arsyilla was relieved, in a crucial moment like this her mother was a party that was always reliable. At least for Ara's upbringing, Arsyilla didn't have to worry anymore. Now she must focus and prioritize her delivery first.
In the midst of waiting for her husband to arrive, Arsyilla felt pain in her lower abdominal area and waist. The pain, aches, there was even a sense of heat mixed into one. Nevertheless, Arsyilla tried to calm himself by doing relaxation techniques that take as much oxygen with the nose, then take it out slowly with his mouth.
"Prophey Baby Sister ... wait for Dad to come home well," muttered Arsyilla in heart and hoped that her husband would arrive soon and could deliver him to the Hospital.
