Kinara's Wait
Giving birth without a husband
"Give spirit to your Mami, son. Tell him Papi's praying about it from here. Papi is praying for his salvation as well as your three sisters. You're Papi's replacement. Papi's not far from you. Papi is always in your heart. But your mother can't remember that. Because he's sick right now,"
"Send Papi a message, son. Listen babe. Fight to bear the fruit of our love in this world. Brother will be back soon. Be patient until that time comes. Raise our three children with your love. Always knew them as brothers. Always show your photo to the three of them. Remember, God is always with you. Struggle. Brother is with you.." Ivory whispered a buzzing sound that now continues to ring in his ears and mind.
Ivory conveyed Ali's message to Kinara who was now so enduring a matchless pain.
"Yes, continue. Push it! Yeah, Nice! Little more!" exclaim Bu midwife who is now helping Kinara give birth to her first baby.
The shadow of Ali who was smiling gently at him danced in the corner of Kinara's eyes. Unknowingly the mouth called out his name with kauta when their first anka was born into the world.
"Honey.. The strong. Brother is here with you.." again the whisper in Kinara's ear.
Tears were seeping out. "Hiks.. Eeeghh.. Eegghs.. Eegh.. Eghghhh.. Allahu Bang Aliiiii!!!!!"
"Oek.. Oek.. Oek.." the sound of the baby's cry was so echoed in the room.
The midwife cried to see the baby come out safely. "Alhamadulillah. Boy, Son. Let's fight again. There are two more to come!"The impact on Kinara is now stingy.
Tears continued to seep on his cheeks when again and again the whisper of the voice of Ali still ringing in his ears.
Ivory also attacked. He even hiccups. And far away there too. He sobbed. Sobbing and sniffling but his tongue did not stop to think of calling God's asthma.
To the extent that the old woman in the house also cried seeing her condition.
Again, Kinara felt heartburn like that. Pushing pain and tightness want to be released it is increasingly felt.
He returned to the. "You are strong, my dear.. You are strong.." again the soft whisper was heard which made Kinara stronger in giving birth to the two remaining babies.
"Euuggh.. Eeegggh.. Eghhtt.. Huuuff.. Egghh.. Eggghhhhhttt.." Kinara's voice was still trying to get her two babies out.
Bi midwife shook her hand. Her tears kept dripping seeing the struggle of Kinara who gave birth to tanapa accompanied by a husband.
Only a seven-year-old boy accompanied her. Ivory climbed on the chair and hugged the body of Kinara who is now struggling to give birth to two more younger siblings.
One day, these memories will be remembered by him. Memories that were so painful to see.
But she must be strong for the sake of her mother. So did Papi Ali's message to him before returning to duty and after that he did not come back again.
"Keep Son. Push it!" exclaim Bu Midwife getting more spirit
He became excited again when he saw Kinara who was also excited when giving birth to the two remaining babies.
"Egggh... Egghtts.. Eggghhttt.. Eggghhttt.. Abaaaaa...."
"Oek.. Oek.. Oek.." Kinara's second baby was born into the world with one more left.
"Alhamadulillah O Allah - eh you crave again Son?!" his exclamation was so shocked to see Kinara who was just breathing now straining again.
With sweat pouring and tears that have run down the river. Kinara again struggled to get one baby out.
The paediatrician and and obstetrician laughed at the sight of Kinara's third baby who was also busy wanting to get out.
They laugh together even though the tears keep pouring out. They are also key witnesses of the struggle of a young mother like Kinara.
"Egghhtt.. Egghtts.. Hufftt.. Egghhehs.. Egghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. Allahu help meuuu!!!!" quirk Kinara is so strong
"Oekkkkb.. Oek.. Oek.." Kinara's third baby was born safely.
"Alhamdulillah, girl boy! Real pretty. Just like her mama!" the midwife said to Kinara, who is still stung with her eyes closed.
Ivory looked up to hear the midwife speak who said Kinara's third child was a baby girl.
Grn, deg, deg...
The young man's heart was beating so fast when he saw with his eyes the baby girl was crying so loudly.
