Let Us Unite
208 Part. Worries
A week passed after giving birth to her three children Ara was seen silent at the bedside while her three children were heard crying to each other.
"Why do you love being so quiet? That's the Leonard crying out for nyusu times," Lexi protested while holding Leona in her hand while Leoni Lana held her up. It was not usual for Ara to let her children cry without carrying or nursing her.
Ara did not answer she looked crying. Because no one raised forced Reyhan to hold his granddaughter while the baby sister had just permission to come out while Laurens and Abraham had not returned from the office.
"Don't tell me if there's a problem, don't hold it for yourself" Reyhan advised as he rubbed his only daughter's back. But Ara did not respond at all.
"Bik make milk for our baby!" Lexi called one of her aides.
"Where is the milk, sir?"
"Ask the same babysitter L, why is she so long anyway?" If only Ara wanted her children to be taken care of by two or three baby sisters at the same time the condition would not be like this. But unfortunately Ara refused to use many baby sisters. In addition to wanting to learn to care for her own baby, she also feels uncomfortable because the baby sister who is in-laws rent looks always looking for Lexi's attention. Just one makes it complicated let alone a lot of thought Ara.
Seeing that Ara was unmoved Lana approached. "What's wrong with you, what's wrong with mom?"
"The milk master is not there" the maid reported.
"Where's Alesha?"
"He's still in the toilet, sir, he says his stomach is still heartburn."
"Oh my God," lamented Lexi as she stomped her head. She was suddenly dizzy, let alone the cries of the three babies getting louder. Lana and Reyhan seem to be fondling their grandchildren to keep quiet.
"Didn't aunt ask where she put the milk and the bottle?"
"It's Master but he said there's no stock because Lady Ara won't allow her baby to be given formula."
Oh gosh. Lexi's head is getting dizzy. Ara was stubborn. A few days ago he refused when Lexi and Laurens wanted all three to be helped by formula.
"Not necessarily my three babies have to be exclusive," he refused at that time to Lexi and Laurens.
"But honey your baby's twins are afraid of you losing and eventually they get hungry."
"Mommy don't worry Ara will do anything as long as the ASI is smooth. Ara will drink breast milk or herbalist though. Isn't it Ma?"
"Ara you better not be insistent, mending follow your in-laws' advice."
"Mama support Ara dong! Ara wants to give their best so they can be smart like Nathan and Tristan. Says their little sister Isyana asi exclusive. If Madam Isyana can Ara can do it too."
"But Ara they're just two people and your baby's three."
"Ara wants to try Ma."
"Well, if that's your decision. Mommy will definitely support." Laurens finally resigned.
What Lexi was worried about was happening, maybe Ara was now in the tired phase of caring for and breastfeeding her three babies. Even with the help of baby sisters, caring for three babies at once will be troublesome and take up a lot of time. Lana was there to help.
"Oah...It's...Oh.hh...." Leonard's cry grew louder which is now in the arms of one of the household assistants.
"Let's dong suck on her!" Ara remained silent her head was now leaning on the back of the bed.
"Bi quickly buy formula milk!"
"Good sir." The assistant he ordered ran outside.
"What's this?" ask Laurens who just arrived.
"Not knowing Mom, Ara did not want to nyusui baby L even cry from earlier without saying anything. Lexi's confused about Mom."
Laurens approached Ara and checked on her condition. "Already Lex doesn't have to be hard on him. Let him rest first. Mommy's afraid she's hit the baby blues. We should be able to keep his feelings."
"It's Mom."
"Jeng Lana don't go home yet!" pinta Laurens she's afraid something's going on with her daughter-in-law.
"He jeng.
Alesha, the baby sister and the maid she ordered came in haste while carrying a bottle of formula.
"This man is ready."
"Lex take her baby out, let Alesha give her milk. Don't let Ara see them in formula milk."
"Yes Mom."
Lexi hands Leona over to the baby sister to be taken out. Leoni and Leonard were taken out and given formula milk.
In Laurens continues to try to invite Ara to talk even though she did not respond.
"Why baby? Let's dong same story mommy." Laurens kept persuading.
"It is not sad to be able to share a little for them to be helped by formula milk" said Laurens subtly.
Ara just nodded. "Where are they Mom?"
"It's outside."
"Bik bring the baby here!"
"Good Mistress."
"Nih Leona is already a henna after drinking milk."
Ara just nodded weakly.
"If there's a problem talking, baby, don't bear it yourself" said Lexi, stroking Ara's hair.
"Yes, but I'm ashamed of Mommy." Ara embarrassed because yesterday she pretended to be able to give breast milk to baby L without the help of formula, in fact two are unable.
"Not to be ashamed," said Laurens made a same mommy.
"Yes Mom."
"Lex mommy wants to talk, by the way" Laurens whispered.
"What's Mom talking about?"
"We talked outside" Laurens said, walking out of the room.
"okay."
"But baby," Lexi said to Ara.
"Yes, it's."
"What's the matter Mom?"
"It looks like Ara needs her friends. Shouldn't you bring them here? Ara has no friends venting here. Mommy sees she has no friends or acquaintances in this country. It's lex's kasian."
"Yes mom but lately they're still busy listing college."
"Wouldn't they go to college here?"
"They don't want Mom."
"Could it be that Lex tried to get them to want to. You know for yourself that you can't stay here long because her daughter-in-law is also pregnant. Lana's afraid it's needed there."
"Yes Mom."
Two days later Mita and Rachel come to Paris.
"Assalamualaikum Ara." Rachel nodded at Ara who was holding Leoni.
"Rachel, Mita?" When did you guys get there? Why don't you tell me you want to come here."
"We'll stay here."
"really?"
"Yes help you take care of our beautiful and handsome niece. Where is the other one just him?" mita asked as she stroked Leoni's tiny cheeks.
"They both slept. Seriously, you guys wanna stay here?"
"He's at the same time studying here."
"You guys must be kidding."
"I didn't ask them to stay and go to college here so there'll be something for you."
"Aaakh really?" Ara looks like she tried to hug her best friend but did not succeed because she was holding Leoni.
"Right," said the two while hugging Ara's body.
"Also help take care of the little Om."
"What can you do? If I can be good enough, I don't have to find another baby sister" Lexi licked.
"It can be a little, it's okay for us to learn for the future." Rachel giggled at her own words.
