Kirei


“Keep it safe,” Danang rubbed his stomach.


He looked at the man. Still in confusion.


“Ma-means?” It cringes.


Not the answer I got. Instead Danang got up from the chair and grabbed it. Close-fitting. Real tight. Until he felt cramped and squashed.


“Mas ... I'm a sesek,” lamented.


“Hah?!” Danang only realized if his treatment hurt his wife.


“Sorry ... sorry ... which one is sick,” the man checked his limbs.


“Nothing, just a second if hugged kayak earlier.” Legally. He wants half a bed. And the man was quick to arrange a pillow higher to prop his head to make it more comfortable.


“Still sick?”


He shook.


From behind the door Rendra appeared with a white plastic tent.


“Still, Ren.” Danang.


Rendra reply, “Siap, Sir. Oya, 2 hours to check.”


Danang nodded.


“I pamit.” Rendra handed over the private car keys to Danang. While Rendra returned to the office with a service car.


“Still, Mr. Rendra.” His word.


“Sama-sama, Mbak.” Rendra carved out a smile, then hurriedly left the clinic room.


Danang opened the plastic and took the contents out of it.


“Where did you eat first? There is pudding, fruit, or eating rice.” Bargain the man. “Furnished bread was definitely not eaten, right?” the canal.


She grimaced in response that her husband's guess was correct.


“Pudding first, Mas. I want something sweet. Don't know why the mouth tastes bitter.”


“Starting now has to eat a lot. Your body is small, too thin.” Danang thrust a spoonful of pudding into his mouth, “aak,”


“I'm good, Mas. Can eat by yourself.” Resist. He didn't want to trouble Danang. Also, he feels better.


Though as he remembered, after the editorial meeting earlier he had time to the editor's room. Discussed several programs and the results of last week's editorial meeting that coincided with his 1-week leave. Pretty long. Then he felt a sudden nausea.  He also went to the toilet. Putting all his stomach in there. Niente. It's just a liquid, because he hasn't had any breakfast. The bread was also unspoiled. After that he felt a tremendous weakness and his head turned, then. Did he, for forgetting breakfast, faint? Just happened this time.


“I'm just bribing. There can be no rejection. From now on have to eat a lot.”


He opened his mouth. The male statement is absolute, it will not change. So, instead of arguing there's no juntrin. He better give up his mind. Danang patiently fed him. Interspersed stories that sometimes have a point, but not infrequently also irritate.


“You think drinking 8 glasses per day myth what fact?” Ask Danang.


“Fakta,” says.


“Mistaken!”


He frowned.


“Factory, Mas! Let's not get dehydrated. Drink a lot, good.” Her salad.


“That, myth.”


“Even sober yet, an athlete drank heavily, died?” ask Danang again, while continuing to bribe him.


He's speechless. Then it shook faintly.


“Because the body will be shocked. Receive too much water intake,”


“Lho instead, to replace lost liquid?” sergeant.


“Inright. But it can't be excessive,"


"The body will work extra to absorb water. It can even cause hyponathermia. The kidneys will be overwhelmed to receive excess water supply. As a result, it cannot perform its functions normally. Severe again occurs swelling of cells and can lead to death.”


“So,”


“Ya .. drink as your need. Not 8 glasses a day. Water sources are not absolute from water alone. Can be from fruits that are rich in water content, vegetables, and others. The mechanism of each person is different. Living, activities also influence. Can't be generalized,”


“This is horrifying your esophagus. If he said thirst .. yes, just drink it do not hold back.”


“Keep why was I told to eat so much?” his protest. Lately the man has been carrying. He said his body was too small and thin. Like not being given a living. He is comfortable with his body now.


“Ya .. let it be good to hold.” Danang folded her lips, making a smile.


“Tuh, right mode!” The boil, “emang eat a lot can add fat? Feelings, Rei has eaten a lot, but this way aja.” The size of clothes, pants, shoes and even the interior has remained the same since he went to college. At most his body just got higher according to him. Uh ... wait! Lately he has been feeling pain in his breast and feels full size.


“Not fat. But be ideal. Moreover,” Danang deliberately hung his sentence.


“Moreover, what?” his insistence.


“Hahaha ..”


“Satisfied, yes even laugh!” skink.


Finally with the chat he could finish all the food, of course, assisted by Danang. Eat both, a spoonful of both. In the room that contained the two of them. The world belongs to both. Hehehe .. The others sorry to be ignored.


Feeling better, he asks Danang to go home. Danang, yes. But what made him shake his head in disbelief was that Danang forced him to sit in a wheelchair. Push it to the side of the car parked in front of the lobby. And force him to carry her until he is completely sitting comfortably on the seat. Overwhelmed according.


Throughout it, he took a rejection act. Objecting. And his mouth was gagging until it frothy.


“Mas, I'm better. I can walk slowly,”


Danang ignored him.


“Mas, I'm not seriously ill. Shame, Mas seen by many people.”


The man was still indifferent as he waltzed pushing the wheelchair with confidence.


Huft.


He could only breathe out into the air.


“Eh ... uh ... Mas Danang want to say?” he gasped as the man without permission carried him into the car cabin. And he could only roll his eyeballs, lazy.


“Udah,” is just her husband's answer. Smile and then close the door. Turn the car around and sit behind the wheel.


“Mas, where are you going?” ask when the car is not leading home.


“Ke doctor.”


“Lho ... Rei is fine. You're healthy. Genuine ...” He looked at Danang. “Rei, just want a break at home.”


Danang actually smiled, “ After the doctor just came home. Definitely your condition,”


But to his surprise, Danang held his hand towards, and,


“Mas, we're going to doctor Yoiku's room?” There is no consultation schedule. Checkup. And another agreement.


As soon as they entered Dr. Yoiku's room, they were immediately greeted with joy. There Anita was also there smilingly welcoming him.


Doctor Yoiku asked for his complaint. And he replied, “Tiba suddenly felt dizzy, Doc. But suddenly also quickly lost,”


“Nafsu kepengen eat something increased. But only at the beginning. After eating a few mouthfuls .. his sense of wanting disappeared evaporated just like that. Somehow, Doc.”


“Dan .. oh yes, Doc. Nausea. I've been feeling nauseous lately.”


Doctor Yoiku smiling, last “Haid when?”


DEG.


His heart stopped beating.


He looked at Danang. The man smiled, grabbing his hand on the table. Swiped it. And hold it tight.


“Last ...” He tried to remember. “Last month, date ...” He immediately gasped after realizing that, “Dok, I had a late period. Should have been early last month.” He felt an atmosphere of signs that he was ....


Doctor Yoiku got up from his chair, “Oke, let's check first. Let's be more convincing.”


She took the nurse to the bathroom. Give a little urine to test for pregnancy. Then after that Anita helped him lie on the examination bed.


“Congrats!” Anita smiled when showing the results of the test pack showing 2 red lines.


While Danang continued to hold the other hand, as if he did not want to release the item for a second. A smile rose intensely from his lips.


He and Danang looked at the television screen hanging right in front of him. Every movement did not escape the bead of the eyes of both.


“Well, here it is.” The USG stopped at one point. “This is her fetal pouch. Still very small, like pea size.” Yoiku.


They look at each other. She could see the happy eyes of her husband. Even with himself. Haru's sense of happiness immediately burst out urging her tears to gather. Then drip through the corner of the eye.


So is Danang. He could see the man staring at him. The aura of happiness was very noticeable on his face.


“Thanks a million ..” Danang kissed his forehead.


“Congratulations, yes.” Doctor Yoiku's voice resuscitates those who dissolve in happiness.


“Pregnancy period 6 weeks 5 days. Can see, right? It's like peas.” Yoiku sliding USG tool.  


“The size is still very small. But all the organs have started to develop. Heart included. Can be heard his heart rate.”


Dug ... dug ... dug ... dug ..


Heart rate sounds have been detected through the USG. He can hear it. His chest rippled, he really did not expect to be given any more confidence to contain the fruit of their love sooner than predicted.


“Three more weeks we re-control.” Imbuh doctor Yoiku. Then the sound of a machine was heard beside them. Two monochrome photos come out of there.


“Wah, don't-don't be made in Dieng?!” chirp Anita as they sit back. Anita chuckles. Because if calculated with the age of the pregnancy now it means it does coincide they are there.


The journey home was more fun. The man continued to hold his right hand. Kissed her repeatedly.


Although without a word coming out of them, but enough with the eyes and treatment becomes evidence. That they are happy. They rejoice. Welcoming the replica of both.


And she only realized that her husband treated her so strictly since this turned out.


“So Mas Danang already know first?” ask when they get home. Sitting on the sofa in the room. Stool plate with pieces of fruit. Start melons, apples, papayas and grapes that the man just brought.


Danang nodded. He sits himself near his feet.


He frowned, “Since when?”


Danang.


“Doctor's word clinic the time you fainted.”


“Oo, so Mas Danang deliberately did not tell you! Even make a scene tell Rei to ride in a wheelchair.” The weirdo.


The man chuckles, “Say the clinic doctor so. Just to be sure, the doctor suggested checking with the obstetrician.”


Silence paused for a moment.


They look at each other. Pretty long.


“Honey, thank you.” Danang rubbed his cheek with his thumb.


“Thank you ...”


“Thank you for conceiving my son,”


“Correction, Mas. Our child ...”


Danang chuckled, “As you wish,” the man kissed his lips at a glance.

Danang


Kirei's pregnancy was the most exciting news. Most valuable. And most of all. He never thought the good news would get to him sooner. Because Dr. Yoiku once said that pregnancy can begin 3 months after laparoscopic action. Or approximately after getting menstruation back to normal running 2-3 cycles. Or the fastest after getting the first period.


And it turns out that God wants something else. God loves them. After getting the first menstruation post-laparoscopy, it turns out Kirei immediately pregnant. It’s a miracle.


He had to take care of Kirei more than usual. Should be more protective. Must pay more attention to Kirei. Exactly watching them. Kirei and his future baby.


He gave the good news to mom and dad in Surabaya.


“Alhamdulillah ... Nang, you have to take good care of her. Pregnant woman is a change in mood. So try to follow his will,”


“Kalo mother's mood is bad can affect the same baby in the room. Keep the mood of Kirei always happy, happy, and do not burden.”


“Do not let Kirei fatigue.”


He also gave news to Mother.


“Alhamdulillah ... Mother, really listen to him. Congratulations yes, Mas Danang.”


“Mas Danang should be much patient. Pregnant wife is much of her will.”


“Miss first, origin still makes sense. The important thing is the mood of pregnant women is always awake.”


“Hopefully all launched. Take good care of pregnancy this time.”


And a line of advice that he himself just found out. If the mood of pregnant women is completely different from the personality of Kirei during this time. You could say, 180 degrees. Even a little wrong, it could make Kirei sad and end up crying.


Like this morning, he was surprised by Kirei's request, “Mas, I want ivory soto.” When he fell asleep because it was still at half-four in the morning. And where should he look for her?


“Soto ivory? Where is it?”


“Di solo.”


“Hah?”


“Now, Mas. I want it now.”


“Soto here, how?” bargained for. Various soto nusantara are available in this city. Just wait a little longer, surely the soto stall will be open for breakfast menu he thought.


“Rei, it wants ivory soto,” the lips of pregnant women are pursed. Then easily shed tears.


Who is this like?


Patience. That is the only word that is spoken in the heart. He remembered the advice of mom and dad. Finally, he did not want to go to Solo. For the sake of the prospective baby.


Along the way, the pregnant woman always contacted him.


“Mas Danang, where have you been?”


“Warung sotonya open at half six. So fit nyampe there Mas Danang will not wait long.”


“Kalo can already, go straight home, yes Mas.”


True also said Kirei, until there the food stall is still quiet, because it just opened. He was the first customer.


Not long after, he rushed back to Semarang. With a pack of ivory soto request his wife who was cravings.


Ting.


My wife: Where have you been?


He replied to Kirei's message.


Tagged : Just a moment more ....



Well, just for the sake of a bowl of ivory soto that costs 14 thousand, he must be willing to go back and forth Semarang-Solo. Rain all the way. Hems, my baby .. You've got success with Dad!

Kirei


Her pregnancy really made her mood turn upside down. The first moment he could feel happy. But in the fifth second immediately freefall. The first minute he wanted to eat something, but the minute after the presence of the food, his desire disappeared instantly. So does morning sickness that strikes at night. Makes him have to drain all his stomach contents.


Is this the mood of pregnant women?


He read references from various media portal pages. And all told that pregnant women experience mood swings swing. Especially in the first and third trimester. Caused by body changes, fatigue, stress and changes in the hormones estrogen and progesterone.


So then.


He sighed. Got to go through this (must go through this).
