#flash back on Ocha
SITI KAUTSAR IRAWAN aka Ocha. Name of gift from mom and dad. The name according to Ocha is an old-school name but has its own history. Once when Ocha was 10 years old (4th grade), he asked even his tone was more like a protest to his mother.
"Why ma, Ocha's name is so ugly!" little Ocha protested at her mother, after throwing her Barbie bag over the sofa, upset. Of course, the bag is the choice of her mother, so that her child looks more like other girls.
"What's this mama's son, just came home from school and it's bad, why baby..?" say her mother softly to little Ocha.
"Ocha don't like the same name Ocha, Ocha's friends say Ocha! He said the name of old-school Ocha! I think the name is a canteen aunt, bi Siti Romlah!"
"Well what's with Siti's name? Good, right in the history of the prophet, many named Siti. The women are beautiful, tough and famous for their faith, you should be proud to have a name representing their name" explained the mother encouraged her son not to sulk again about his name, Siti. But Ocha's mouth was still pouting, unable to let go of her irritation.
"You want to know why mom and dad named SITI KAUTSAR IRAWAN?" said mama stroking the little Ocha curls. While Ocha just silence and lay his head in the lap of his mother. Trying to hear her mother's story.
"You were my first child after 9 months. Before you, mama had 3 miscarriages at the age of 4 months. The doctor said the mother's uterus was too weak, so the fetus in the womb could not last long. A year later, my mother became pregnant again. Mama is very happy" said mama occasionally rubbed the head of a small Ocha on the sidelines of the story.
"When you know you can last for 9 months, mom is grateful. Until when my mom gave birth. It was already midnight around 1pm. My mother started to feel pain to give birth to you. But papa is not home. Papa was off town, in Bandung. Mama was confused, finally mama called bi Minah. Bi Minah is the maid mom used to start mama before getting married to papa" her mother sighed for a moment.
"Rumah bi Minah is not far from the old mama's house. He lived alone in his home, his children went wandering in Jakarta. Once a year when Lebaran then the children bi Minah home" said mama.
"A few minutes later, Minah arrived. Before calling bi Minah, mama had called the nearest midwife at home mama. But the midwife is having a patient at her house. Bi Minah intended to bring the mother to the midwife's house, but because the mother was already in pain, finally the mother gave birth to you assisted by bi Minah" the eyes of the mother laughed trying to remember the old face bi Minah.
"And it turns out that bi Minah used to accompany the midwife several times handling the labor process, so bi Minah little understand how to handle mama at that time. After a few minutes you were born, the midwife came and immediately took over the task of completing the mama's labor process."
"Keep ma, how does it go, Ocha curious" asked the enthusiastic little Ocha.
"After you were born, my mom called me and told me about the time I gave birth to you. After receiving good news from my mother, my father immediately asked permission to have papa's superior there and immediately went home. Around 8 am, papa has arrived home" said his mother.
"Trus what does that have to do with Siti ma's name?" tanya Ocha still did not find an answer why it was given the name Siti in her name. Mama did not immediately answer Ocha's question, mama smiled to see her child. What a wonderful gift God gave her and her husband.
"So after papa you know, if the one who helps mama give birth is bi Minah, then papa decided to give your name with the name bi Minah."
Ocha's forehead shriveled, he did not understand why his name was even Siti? Why not the name Minah? As if her mother understood Ocha's confusion, Reni's mother later explained that Minah's long name was Siti Aminah. Papa took the first name bi Minah in order to remind the kindness and sincerity of bi Minah to help the birth of her mother.
At first papa Irawan wanted to give the first name with Aminah, but mama Reni refused he preferred the name Siti. According to Reni's mother, Siti's name reminds her of her beloved late grandmother, Siti Sarah.
"Oh so the story is yes ma.. " Ocha rounded his mouth to form the letter O.
"In your name, mama and papa wish you to be a child who has sincerity and patience like bi Minah, and KAUTSAR means kautsar lake. Mama hopes you can provide many benefits and goodness around you like a soothing Kautsar lake. May you always be able to cool down to those who love you.." mama Ocha kisses Ocha's forehead while blowing prayers that her only child is always given health and protected by Almighty God.
"Ehm ma, but why doesn't Ocha have a sister? If Ocha has a sister, then Ocha's sister is given the name Siti" said Ocha still ngeyel still do not like the name given her mother, Siti.
Mama Reni was silent for a moment, the look on her face showed that there was sadness in it.
"I'm sorry mommy baby, mom can no longer give you sister" said mom with regret.
"Mama's regime is problematic so it is risky if you are pregnant again" said the mother while caressing the girl in front of her.
Ocha was a little disappointed to hear his mother's explanation. But a moment later he understood and did not ask again about Siti's name or ask for a sister. He did not want to see his mother sad.
More or less that curly hair has Ocha, but more black yes color. Can shadow kaan.hehe.
