Aqeela had calmed down and played alone in her box, while Aqeel was still nursing, she sucked the source of life like there was no tomorrow, no tomorrow,, even after being pushed right and left, he was still not full either.
Ujang observed the face of Mentari who was still sitting pensively on his own, although it was calmer a little but the condition of Mentari was still not so normal, his face was moody for no apparent reason.
Ujang realized after his father-in-law returned home because the forty days were over, Mentari showed unusual signs, Mentari often grieved without cause, even seemed confused when their babies cried simultaneously.
It's only the first time Ujang left them at home, the work is neglected because all this time Ujang focus on their twins.
Ujang thought everything would be fine, but found the scene that made his heart sad, Aqeel and Aqeela lying just like that on the floor.
"Tari," said Ujang very gently, Ujang touched Mentari's shoulder, so that his wife looked up to him, the eyes of Mentari empty, but at least Mentari has responded with his body movements.
"What's wrong? tell me, I'm sure something's bothering you, what's that?" asked Ujang very gently.
Mentari's eyes began to tear up again, he then looked down at Aqeel who began to close his eyes, occasionally the baby was as excited.
"Dari can not be a good mother, even Tari is not able to silence Aqeel who is crying, she does not want to suckle, even more swinging even more crying, Dance no longer knows how,,, she does not want to suckle, even more swing even more crying,, then how Tari will raise her later, take care of her and educate her, Tari is really a failed mother. Dance can't be anything, why are other mothers so relaxed taking care of their children, why can't I be like them?" mentari said while crying, the sentence of self-pity just came out of his mouth.
Ujang took Aqeel and put him in a swing, Ujang then grabbed his wife's shoulder, pecked her head and rubbed her back.
For her, Mentari was already very extraordinary, when everyone was advocating for surgery but she stubbornly wanted to give birth to her child normally, when people complained about the hassles of breastfeeding her child and giving formula, and so on,, Persistent breastfeeding mentari with full ASI, although he had to stay up every night not even had time to dress up as usual.
What Mentari said was just a form of excessive anxiety, Ujang had to build confidence Mentari back.
"That's just your feeling, you're a wonderful mother, even sacrificing your sleep and your rest to breastfeed our child, there is nothing less than your role as a mother, we must be grateful to be given the trust, not just one but two at once, many people out there who do not have opportunities like us, he said, so we just need to be grateful, Dance, bother taking care of the twins is common, so do not be sad anymore" said Ujang.
Mentari listens to everything her husband says, despair, feeling inadequate, feeling useless, that is what Mentari feels right now.
"So, how about for the next three days we stay at Mom's house? so that you have friends, and Mother can also help you keep the twins," said Ujang.
Actually the Mentari Mother had offered before, until their baby was rather large, Mentari and Ujang stayed in their house only. The distance is not so far, Ujang can go back and forth if you have to work to the furniture warehouse, but Mentari insisted and wanted to be independent, Mentari did not want to trouble his mother.
The next morning they went straight to the Mentari Mother's house. The arrival of Aqeel and Aqeela made Mentari's parents happy, and even Mentari's father and mother immediately took their grandchildren one-on-one.
"I'm sorry grandma, grandma didn't visit you for three days, because Dika again exam," said Madam Mentari then kissed Aqeela's cheek, while Aqeel began to whine a little.
##########
Bright smile on the lips Mentari, it feels like it has not been alone with her husband for a long time, after they bathed their twin babies, Mentari's mother told Ujang to bring his wife's afternoon walk, after they bathed their twins, of course Mentari feels very happy, she also needs quality time with her husband.
Mentari's mother is very good at looking after her grandchildren, for some reason Aqeel who is usually very fussy is very calm if taken care of by her grandmother, or maybe Mentari who can not take care of her children,,, or,, Mentari was feeling more sorry for him.
They stopped at one of the shops on the side of the road, this place became a subscription to Ujang, a small place made of boards but very crowded in the afternoon.
"The aroma is good" said Mentari as it is, actually Mentari not so fond of Miso tofu, but because Ujang guarantees it tastes good, making Mentari so curious.
Ujang is also very happy to see his wife's sparkling face, he needs air outside because it is confined inside the house since giving birth.
Miso knew the end came, reflecting the smoke and aroma that made the stomach increasingly rumbling, in the shadow of the Mentari earlier, Miso knew it was the same Miso knew ordinary, but knew here was very different, very different, somehow frying it, knowing it was not cut, he was left intact in perfect condition. Ujang then took Mentari a spoon and fork, and Mentari received it enthusiastically.
Mentari then tasted the sauce, savory, delicious, Ujang taste not excessive if praising the food.
"Enak, Dance?" ask Ujang.
Mentari.
"Yes Brother," said Mentari with a smile.
They ate while chatting small, after from the store Miso, Ujang then took Mentari sightseeing around using a motorbike, simple but it makes Mentari happy and look more excited.
"Where's Ajeel, Mom?" tanya Mentari directly once at home, even Mentari has not finished stripping off his joints.
"That" replied Madam Mentari. His chin pointed towards Dika's room.
Mentari and Ujang went straight in, Aqeel and Aqeela were playing alone, without whining, without crying.
"Geez, why isn't he fussy?" tanya Mentari seemed to not believe, Ujang also did not get out of thought, Aqeel and Aqeela only wear shorts and singlet.
"Dance, the baby is crying there must be a reason, sleepy, hungry, thirsty, stomach pain, heat, and much more, here I show you," said the Mentari Mother and then opened the Aqeel shorts.
"Iritation, you are less diligent in changing Aqeel diapers" said Ibu Mentari.
Indeed, these few days Mentari dressed Aqeel and Aqeela Pempers, so that she did not bother too much. The sun immediately fell silent, his face became sad again.
"Here," said Ibu Mentari, as soon as he saw the sad face of Mentari, Mentari also according to when his mother pulled her hand to sit.
"Child crying is ordinary, if you are crying it is amazing" said Madam Mentari.
"I mean Mom?" ask Mentari.
"Crying does not mean he is sad, sometimes he is not sleepy, you force him to sleep, or he wants to be carried you swing it, the science of parenthood it needs experience and also sensitivity, so do not panic quickly especially when the child is crying, crying it instead of talking to the baby, I hope you no longer feel useless, I hope you no longer feel useless, his name also just had a child of course you still need to learn a lot, give birth and take care of the child is a female entity, you just need to be grateful and also be patient, understand Dari?" said Ibu Mentari.
Mentari nodded, Ujang felt a little relieved, Ujang needed his mother-in-law to awaken his wife's confidence again.
