Three Days Later
Everyone's birth experience is different. The experience of one mother, not necessarily experienced by other mothers. Even so, childbirth is one of the moments that will never be forgotten for every mother. Tiredness and pain experienced during labor as if faded and soon turned into a flood of happiness when hearing the cry of a beloved baby for the first time.
The presence of the baby can treat fatigue during the puerperium. His smile was certainly adorable.
Mila was allowed to go home today. After two nights of coma and two nights of recovery.
“Alhamdulillah, we have returned home.” Danu said while putting the belongings of his wife and child.
Mila was quite surprised, because they did not go home to the grandmother of Seruni or the mother of Diana's house. Danu did not intentionally tell him that he had prepared a new house in the Padang Harapan area. The house he built long before he was reunited with Mila. It is located in Kapuas Tiga area. Near the mosque and the big square. Not a fancy house like around that place. But it was a simple house he had bought back then. Not much he remodeled next to the house that had been weeded is now a small garden with a swing chair.
“Honey, this is our real home. Here we will start living independently with Sada, our son. Sorry if it's not fancy.”
“Uda, this is more than enough. I never asked for anything fancy. But where's the money from? Isn't your savings almost out of chemotherapy costs.” Said Mila.
“Actually I bought this a long time ago. When I was a bachelor first.”
"Why didn't you tell me the same story all this time?" said Mila while breastfeeding Sada in their room.
"Yes if the story is not a surprise dong name. This is also the intervention of Rubiah's mother to organize the house. He said let his granddaughter stay here comfortably." Danu said.
"It turns out behind his looks that the effect is jutek. I love you as well as me and Sada."
"That's why don't look at anything on the cover. Let's actually love mom with us. The attitude he showed also had a lesson. So that one day we will grow up to avoid the nature of parents who have ever done the same to us. Understood?" Mila nagging. He also wanted to be a good parent in Sada's eyes.
After Sada fell asleep, Mila placed her daughter in a baby box near the bed. Only carpet and spring bed without cots. As far as Mila it can be easier when Sada fell asleep in the middle of her parents.
His footsteps stepped outside the room. Looks like relatives have gathered there. There's Lala, there's her parents, there's Eva, Bones Boro and her wife are also gathered there. His smile expanded as he watched all his family gather. Just minus Sarah and Anjas.
"Darling, you just take a break. You must have been tired for a few days. Wake up in the middle of the night to breastfeed Sada. Let me accompany them." Danu asks Mila in the room to accompany Sada.
"I'm bored with no activity. Sada was sleeping so what's wrong I used the time to be with the others. People say that giving birth should not be brought to sleep." explained Mila after landing her body in the middle room chair.
"It is precisely the person who has given birth should make good use of his sleep time, dear. You are in the hospital, since you always wake up in the middle of the night. Especially if Sada is thirsty." said Danu.
During the puerperium there is recovery from the uterine organs. In the puerperium usually still bleeding can occur. during the puerperium, you can sleep in a high or low mattress position. This has no effect on the puerperium.
Mothers who have just given birth are advised to sleep whenever the mother can sleep (adjust to the time of sleep of her child), because the mother who takes care of her own baby will be very, very sleep deprived.
"What's this, Mom?" mila asked curiously when she saw Mother Dahlia as if she was concocting a potion. Slowly Mila approached Dahlia's mother.
"This is called a pistil mask. This is good for mother giving birth. Mother has also prepared some food to support your ASI so that it is smooth. Like green vegetables specifically cork leaves the same cork fish."
Mila nodded slowly trying to absorb Mother Dahlia's explanation. Suddenly he saw something that caught his attention. There were several wooden twigs above the bedroom door and the outer door. Mila raised her eyebrows, astonished. I don't know what the function of the twig is Mila doesn't understand.
"What are the branches putting there for, Mom?"
"So that your baby is not disturbed by the devil. That's why I put it on the front door and the room door."
"But, Mum. Is it not enough to place the Quran near the head of the baby? Don't wear something like that, the fall of the idolaters."
"You're coming! The time you were born was like that, even you were four months old MPASI" said Ms. Dahlia.
Mila just shut up. Her eyes shifted to her husband. Danu only shrugged without her commenting. After Mila's forehead was given pilis powder. Dahlia's mother also asked Danu not to ask for rations with Mila for 40 days.
"I already know, ma'am." Danu said as he moved out of the living room.
"Oh, yeah I forgot to bring a big safety pin to antidote for Sada's nuisance." Again Dahlia's mother on her colossal thinking.
"Mom, I'm sorry, but just like this. Don't wear anything else. Pity Sada in this jejali." Danu spoke up.
"If it was made that way and see now he stays healthy wal Afiat. I'm sorry I didn't want to interfere in your business. But what's wrong with trying first."
"Lia, Mila just arrived. Don't be stuck with things that burden his mind. If you want to help Mila in babysitting can often play here. Then her husband graduated from health school would be more understanding." Rohim says.
After the guests included Dahlia and Rohim, the new parents sat in the room. Moreover, the rain soaked the city of raflesia flowers. Mila peeked in the bedroom window. The position of the room in front makes it easy to see the outdoors. Occasionally glancing towards the baby box, her little girl was still fast asleep.
A hand suddenly coiled around Mila's waist. Like knowing what her husband was doing, she chose to just shut up Danu's fingers to look at his neckline.
"I won't ask for more, Mila. Just like this is enough." whispered Danu added a sense of sensual in Mila.
Mila smiled a little. Her body turned around while responding to her husband's cradle.
"Nr ..." Mila was stunned when she saw the red liquid from her husband's nose.
Unexpectedly Mila pulled Danu's chin. Kissing her husband's nose and sucking the blood out.
