Hello Arvin!

Hello Arvin!
Bonus Chapter - 3


Nara could not stop looking at the small, frail figure she was holding. After 12 days in the NICU, the baby can finally go home tomorrow. Although it still looks small, but his weight has improved.


The first time Nara and Arvin were left alone in Nara's hospital room. There is no more separation glass when they have to meet the baby. His strong and loud crying voice, to them, sounded happy. He was smart to find his food source by slinging at Nara. Breastfeeding for most of the day and not willing to take it off.


“Simmer...” says Nara grimaces. Arvin couldn't do anything to assuage her. The doctor said Nara may feel pain at the beginning of her breastfeeding period, because she has not done it in the right position because of their small baby.


“You want me to massage his back?” Arvin offered help. Although not necessarily eliminate the feeling of pain experienced by Nara.


Arvin was really worried about Nara's condition. After giving birth, she must recover her body, at the same time also have to breastfeed and take care of the baby. As much as possible Arvin provided help and lightened his load by massaging him, feeding him, helping with all his movements.


Before this, Arvin was diligent in attending baby-rearing classes with Nara during several sessions held specifically by the hospital. She already knows the basics of how to care for her baby, although she hasn't practiced it now that her son just got out of the NICU this morning.


Gently Arvin stroked Nara's back and saw the baby mungikl on his wife's lap being closed while continuing to suckle with fun.


“Radhika cepet pinter yes miminya, so that mama does not hurt anymore,” said Arvin softly to his son, he kissed the baby's small legs and felt the typical smell of a pleasant baby.


“Nothing mama who is sick original don't you yes, Dek,” reply Nara.


“Do not on pain dong. How will I go?”


Nara laughed when she heard it. He also did not expect anyone to get sick. He must be strong, so that Radhika can also grow strong. The pain of breastfeeding like this is incredible, but Nara will deal with it. She had already experienced the more painful loss of her first baby and almost lost Radhika as well. This is nothing compared to the broken heart and injured that heal very long.


“What a small hand? Look, my thumb is bigger than his hand,” said Arvin amazed to look at Radhika's fingers are very cute.


“Later slowly will also add big. It is still mini and gemesin. Right, deck?”


“Arvin mini version.”


“Ngga, he's Arvin upgraded version. More handsome, cooler, more pinter. Anyway will be different from his father who mgeselin.”


“Oh so this is the guy who has captured my wife's heart? Just came out already dare to snatch someone's wife!”


Instantly Radhika let go of her mouth and cried loudly to hear a fairly weak voice from Arvin. It made Nara glare fiercely and elbow her husband's stomach.


“For your noisy voice so cry,” said Nara annoyed. He then patted and calmed Radhika down until her crying was gone. Now it had fallen back asleep comfortably on his mother's lap.


“You're mama's number one favorite guy, Dek. Let papa alone, because he has disturbed kam bobo,” whispered Nara.


Nara pinched Arvin's arm, making him grimace. “Be careful you are looking for a new one! I chopped you alive!” nara Ancam.


Arvin just chuckles at hearing it. “Yes where is it possible? I am not helped by you. Udah acute, can not be cured again,” said Arvin then peek Nara cheek.


Hearing such a trembling was now an everyday meal for Nara. It was so accustomed that there was no other reaction than turning the eyeball and snorting. But listening to the speech often makes Nara also become happy and flowery. There is one man in this world who loves him so deeply as Arvin, making himself feel most fortunate.


Arvin does not lie about his love for Nara, which is already acute and can not be helped anymore. Even now the woman is a high priority gasket in her life, more than anything else. Especially after seeing it full of struggle during pregnancy and childbirth, until now in the stage of breastfeeding is not easy. Arvin would be willing to trade his own life for Nara's happiness.


Nara has shown how the struggle of a mother and wife to him. Arvin appreciates and salutes all the sacrifices and pains that Arvin never felt alone. How could there be a man who could betray a woman who had fought so hard to conceive and give birth to her child?


His mother was right, only a cowardly man cheated on him. Especially when the woman who became his partner was already a mother, giving him a proud offspring. Arvin learns every day to rebuild his relationship with Nara. He wants to be the perfect husband who helps Nara become a happy mother.


“You don't want to sleep?” arvin asked Nara who was lying in the gurney but her eyes were still staring at Radhika inside the baby box next to him.


“No drowsiness, still want to see Radhika. I miss it so much.”


“You will see him for decades, Ra. Until we have been called Allah SWT.”


“But the shape is still like this for just a moment, Vin.”


“Iya. Soon he cried for milk, asked for toys, asked for snacks, or cried for no reason.”


Nara laughed, “May we be strong and given patience to Radhika who grew up.”


“Yes should dong. We have learned a lot from our parents. Learn to forgive and be a good parent like them. Surely we can also be as patient and as strong as they make against our own children, as long as not to stop learning until old age,”


“Lifetime work just started,”


Nara and Arvin laughed together. They have really just opened the gate to life as parents that will not be as easy as imagined. Whatever they are, there must be a path ahead full of trials. They only hope to be given patience and forgiveness as wide as the ocean if their children make mistakes later. Although as good as possible they educate and avoid it from all evil and harmful things in the world. Just like both of their parents who became role models.


The mistakes of the past will be a valuable lesson that they will teach Radhika. This child will also have to hear the journey of his parents and the way they find each other. He can learn good things from both of them.


“Still yes, Deck. You are very strong to fight to be born into the world. Hopefully Mama and Papa will not be disappointing parents,” said Nara ended the night to fall asleep soon.
