BERHALA ISLAND
EPISODE 67: GIVING BIRTH

    "May ...!! Mayan ...!! Brother is home ...!!" so said Podin when down from the car that had stopped in front of his house.

    Podin then walked into the porch of his house. He saw his garage closed. He was worried about Maya. Not hearing his wife's answer, Podin tried to open the door. The front door of his house was not locked. So Podin went straight into the house.

    "May .... Brother is home ...!!" so said Podin after entering the house. He shouted again in the living room to call his wife.

    "Absite .... Please, Bang .... This is my stomach, Bang .... Pain, Bang ..." Maya's moaning sounds came from her bedroom. And as soon as he heard his wife's voice, Podin went straight to his room. And then, on the bed, Podin saw that Maya was lying in the room, lying on the bed, holding her stomach, as if she could not get up, unable to get out of bed. Maya could only just slip away.

    "Wadm .... Agra .... What's the matter, Maya? What's wrong with you, Maya?" so said Podin who asked his wife, for fear if anything happened to Maya who was lying on the bed, without anyone accompanying.

    "Please, Bang Podin .... Bang Podin ..., why haven't you been home for so long? My stomach hurts, Bang .... The baby in my stomach is coming out. Brother ..., please Maya, Brother ..." so groaned Maya who certainly asked her husband for help.

    "Yes ..., Maya .... Is this right, you're giving birth?" ask Podin to Maya.

    "Yes, Bang .... It's time, Bang .... According to the doctor's estimate of our baby will be born, if not today, yes tomorrow ..., Bang." said Maya who would want to be helped immediately by her new husband.

    "God .... I mean this is the right .... When you come, you want to give birth, Maya .... Yes ..., yes .... Come, Maya .... I drove to Puskesmas. Maya gave birth there, yes .... Maya I anter yes .... Come .., let's get up slowly, Maya .... Let's go to Puskesmas" said Podin who invited his wife to hurry to go to Puskesmas.

    "Yes, Bang .... But before we leave, please bag it, Bang .... The bag was filled with my clothes, to copy me, to change me. There are towels and also there is soap and toothbrush .... Yes, it was brought, Bang ..." so Maya said that while pointing at the bag that had apparently been prepared, was near the closet.

    Podin took the bag. Then immediately rushed to pick up the necessities, as well as a bag containing clothes, which had been prepared by Maya, who was in her room near the closet. Then the bag containing the lodging equipment at the Puskesmas was carried by Podin and put in his car. Next, Podin returned to the room, to get his wife off the bed, and then led her slowly to the car.

    "Come, Maya .... Slowly .... We're going to Puskesmas" said Podin, who helped his wife board.

    "Yes, Bang .... Slow down, Bang .... It hurts so much, Bang .... Please, Bang .... I'm not strong, Bang .... Pain, Bang ..." so groaned Maya who was left hand while holding tightly to Podin's arm. The other hand held the lower part of his stomach. Maybe she was worried that her stomach would bulge and the baby would come out.

    Podin was very careful and patient. Just this time the heart of Podin appeared a very affection, when helping his wife who was about to give birth. Whereas in the past, the time was still poor, living with Isti, his first wife, until giving birth to four children, Podin had no business at all. All who help their neighbors. But this time, for some reason, suddenly Podin was very affectionate and considerate, helping Maya, his wife who was about to give birth.

    Maya who looks sick and difficult to get into the car, his wife helped to get into the car. Indeed, Podin will deliver his wife by using his ugly car. But Podin prefers his own car, that he says is sturdy and recalcitrant.

    "Tok this car, Bang Podin? Don't just use my car?" ask Maya who would want to use her car, which is good and certainly lower, easy to enter and sit.

    "It's okay, Maya .... This car is delicious and stronger. I don't usually drive a good car. I'm worried if it gets stuck or scuffed. Darling car. In fact, it can add expensive costs to repair a damaged car" said Podin to his wife, so that his wife would accept if he was invited to climb into his ugly car. But, although old, the car was a handle of Podin from the first time he could drive a vehicle.

    "Yes .., Bang .... Slow down, Bang .... I'm no longer strong, Bang .... It's been very sick, Bang ..." said Maya who tried to get into her car.

    The car is a bit tall. But with the help of Podin, supported by her husband, Maya was finally able to sit in the front seat, where next to him Podin would sit driving. After Maya can sit comfortably and feel good, Podin immediately starts his car, and goes straight to Puskesmas, where Maya will later give birth to her baby.

    "Bang ..., Bang Podin why not go home? Where you been, Bang? Maya misses Bang Podin." so Maya said on the way delivered by her husband to Puskesmas.

    "Yes, Maya .... I work, I make money." answered Podin briefly. Of course while the concentration of driving his car across the narrow streets in housing. Understandably, Jakarta is all solid. Especially in housing, many insolent citizens who park on the street carelessly. It will certainly disturb people passing by. If the car crashed, which had directly dabbled. The people don't know manners.

    "Where's the money, Bang?" ask Maya about her husband. Although in such a position, the condition of her stomach would erupt, Maya still had time to ask for money. The basis of the female double eye, which is thought to be in her imagination is only money .., money .., and money.

    "May .... You are now giving birth .... Try not to ask for money first .... Now that's the important thing, Maya hold her stomach .., strengthen it until later when it reaches Puskesmas, then Maya can talk. This brother is concentrating on driving, bring you in pain, do not be asked only money .... Just came already asked for money." replied Podin who immediately grumbled.

    Yes, of course, it is the nature of Maya like that, who always asked for money to Podin. Because from the beginning, from the first time I knew Podin, met Podin, and pretended to fall in love with Podin, all I expected from him was money. Maya wants to hook Podin's money, although she must be willing to marry a series by a man who is not handsome. What matters is the money.

    And after passing through several narrow alleys, and also passing a little on the big road, finally Podin arrived also at the Puskesmas, the place that will be used to give birth to Maya. Podin had seen it and had memorized it with the Puskesmas, since the first time Maya said she was pregnant. Even then, Podin actually wanted his wife to check in the Puskesmas only. But Maya always said prestige, saying shame if known by her friends, not nice if known by her social group. He said, if you check the pregnancy or health at the Puskesmas is the place of the poor, who if checked should wear Jamkeskin, not the place of celebrities. Yes, that was the opinion of Maya who had always been enslaved by the Prestigious sense.

    "Yes, Bang .... Please, Bang ..., help Maya down ..." Maya said that will come down.

    "Yes ..., briefly .... You wait there. Brother will ask for help from Puskesmas officials who are on guard." said Podin, who then immediately met the man who was standing guard at the Puskesmas.

    After Podin conveyed his point, if his wife was going to give birth, then the man who was on guard also brought a bed of sick people, and, who can be encouraged to help Maya while getting out of the car and take her to the Puskesmas room.

    "Come, Maya .... Slow down, come down for a minute .... Keep Maya resting her body on this bed. Later we will push Maya into the Puskesmas room" said Podin who had been with Puskesmas officers who had prepared the pushable bed.

    "Yes, Bang .... Patience, Bang ..., slow down, Bang .... My stomach hurts so much, Bang." said Maya who was swept by her husband to a bed of patients.

    Maya was helped by Podin to get down from the car seat, slowly towards the bed that had been provided. Then also assisted by Podin to lay his body on the bed Puskesmas patient was held by Puskesmas officers. And then, Maya has been pushed into the Puskesmas room. Maya was directly handled by the midwife Puskesmas who happened to be on duty there, and the midwife was indeed special handling people who would give birth, including Maya who had double checked into the Puskesmas. And of course, in that place, the midwife Puskesmas was already aware of Maya's condition.

    The midwife and nurse who were there immediately brought Maya into the room to give birth. In Puskesmas or hospitals or clinics, known as the VK Room. Yes, Maya's been put in the birth chamber.

    Podin can't get in. Podin was told to wait outside. He said baby Maya will be out soon. But Podin can't see it. Podin can only hear from the outside.

    But Podin did not want to be in front of the birth chamber. Podin just came out of the Puskesmas room. He came out to breathe fresh air, to breathe in the air that did not smell of medicine. Indeed, the name in the room of treatment, in the room Puskesmas or hospital, must smell is the smell of medicine.

    Podin then went to the Puskesmas courtyard. He approached his car parked in front of the Puskesmas. Then Podin leaned his body on the car. Then he took a cigarette. Podin also lit a cigarette. Then suck the cigarette smoke deeply. A sign of Podin wants to eliminate the fatigue that is in his mind and feelings. Yes, it's true that Podin doesn't smoke that much. Rarely smoked. But maybe this time he had to smoke the cigarette, to get rid of the confused taste, the troublesome taste, the scary taste, the worrying taste.

    Podin cigarette straw is very deep, so it produces a lot of smoke, when the cigarette smoke is released upwards, it blows into the air, then carried up. Then Podin also observed the puff of cigarette smoke that soared into the air. The thick cigarette smoke he observed. And when the smoke ran out, Podin was wide-eyed, he watched the moon from behind the depleting cigarette smoke. Yes, Podin was immediately flabbergasted when he suddenly saw the moon that was almost full. Bilan is almost perfectly round.

    When his eyes were looking at the moon, Podin suddenly remembered the full moon. As soon as Podin's eyes saw the moon above his head, at once he remembered the night of the full moon. Yes, in about five days, the full moon will appear. The night that he should have come brought the baby, the baby born by Maya to be taken to the Island of Idol, to be handed over and presented to the Lord of the Island of Idols.

    Podin dropped his cigarette on the ground. Then the cigarette butt was stepped on with the end of the sandal. Podin smiles. Podin happy. Podin's eyes sparkled again. Yes, soon, on the night of the full moon, he will take the baby, the baby born by Maya, to the palace of the Island of Idols. That is his promise to Maya, he will give a lot of money.will give jewelry with various types, will give gold and diamond gems to Maya. Surely by giving up the baby once asked by Podin, the baby who will soon be born by Maya.

    Now, Podin began to rile with the exit of the baby that will be born by Maya. Podin was waiting for the baby to come out, the baby that would soon come out of Maya's stomach, a baby that would be expected by Podin, because in a short time, in a few days' time, in a few days' time, Podin had to come to the Island of Idols, to offer the baby at the midnight of the full moon.

    Indeed, Podin had already promised Maya, by the time Podin forced Maya to become pregnant, forcing Maya to bear a child, and the child would be exchanged for money and property to the king. They would hand over the baby to the king, who was said to be replaced with a large amount of wealth. And of course, Maya, the female eye duitan, the matre woman was very tempted by the words of her husband. Maya will be very happy to see the money in large quantities, have abundant wealth, have a mountain of gold, see jewelry, diamond gems, countless. Yes, the king's gift must have been very rich, the king who must have been generous and kind to him. If the words of Podin are true, surely later Maya will be addicted to conceive, will be happy to give birth to children, will be, and her children will be handed over to the king, her husband's acquaintance, in exchange for wealth and luxury.

    Podin paced back and forth, right, left, forward, backward. It even surrounds his car parked in the Puskesmas yard. So nervous waiting for the birth of baby Maya. Yes, Podin sangay is curious. Podin is very agitated. He wanted to know immediately the state of the baby to be born by his wife. Even a few times Podin approached the birthing room, where his wife was being assisted by midwives and nurses. Podin was pacing back and forth in front of the VK room, in which there was Maya, there was a midwife, and there was a nurse who was helping the delivery of his wife. Some times Podin put his ear on the door of the birthing room. Surely Podin wanted to hear what was going on inside the chamber.

    "Ow .... Ouch .... Ouch .... Ouch, pain .... It hurts so much ....!" as soon as Maya's voice was heard by Podin from behind the door, it was whimpering in pain.

    "Propag .... Breathe .... Push ..... Breathe in again ..... A strong push ..." the voice of the midwife who helped him give Maya a cue.

    Podin, who was behind the door, felt very anxious to hear the labor process. This time she was waiting for someone to give birth. Surely his heart was pounding anxiously. Instead of thinking about Maya, but what matters is the safety of her son.

    "Ooaerrrr .......! Oe .......!"

    Until finally, there was the sound of crying babies from inside the birth room. The baby's cry is a sign that the baby has come out of his mother's mouth.

    Podin was relieved to hear the sound of the baby crying. Podin felt plong. And of course, Podin was happy because the baby must have survived, the baby that was just born by Maya was out and alive.

    Podin. Podin. Podin happy. In a few days, he became a rich man again. Podin would fulfill his promise, giving the Maya abundant wealth. Surely Maya will be happy to be able to live with treasure.
