112. Hello, The Twins G's
...112. Hello, The Twins G...
Kirei
He took a deep breath.
Then, “Huuuuuhh .. hhh ...” Exhales slowly.
Once again take a deep breath.
“Huuuuuuhh .. hhh ...”
He was still lying with his back to the floor of the mat and his knees bent. His right hand was placed on his stomach. While his left hand is on the chest.
He did it repeatedly. According to the instructor's instructions.
“Now breath counting movement!” Coach seru.
“Position is still the same. Breathe deeply until the count of five. Hold your breath until the count of eight. Then exhale slowly until the count of ninth.”
“Ready ..!” Coach gave me a warning. Then start counting, “breath .. five, four, three, two and .. one. Good!”
“Hold! One, two, three, four, five, six, seven and eight.”
“Make slowly ... nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one!”
“Good!”
“We repeat, Moms.” Imbuh coach.
“Once again.”
“The last. Once more.”
“OK! We end the meeting today.” Then the coach clapped his hands.
He moved and headed for the dressing room. This was her 6th session following pregnancy gymnastics near her office.
In the final trimester of her pregnancy she decided to follow pregnancy exercises. She wanted to give birth normally.
Although Danang forbade it. The man felt unable if he had to see her fight life giving birth naturally.
“Same, Mas. Be normal. Want cesarean all have their own risks.” Debate that time after returning from control of the womb from the doctor.
“But I don't want you in pain!” reject Danang.
“We take a cesarean, yes?” add that man. They tend to choose the path of operation. He said it wouldn't hurt him.
He flinched.
His decision will give birth to normal all can not be separated from the reference books he read. Mother who always motivates to give birth normally because of her experience. Mama who tells 2 different experiences because giving birth to 2 children in different ways as well.
He said Danang was born normally. Aksa was forced to be injured due to bleeding.
And the mother suggested giving birth to a normal origin of the condition of the baby allows for it. However, all decisions were left to him. Because he will live.
According to the doctor, the condition of both fetuses has the opportunity to be born normally. Even if one fetus is still in the breech position. The position of the head of the fetus is above, not in the birth canal.
There is still time to change the position of the fetus, the doctor said. With light exercise such as walking, pregnant gymnastics, yoga, pilates and swimming.
Luckily, she learned it in pregnancy classes. Hopefully in a few more weeks to coincide with the HPL of the other fetus in the position of the vertex or head of the fetus in the birth canal.
“Mbak Kirei, first yes ...” Sapa Laura's. The young mother is also about to give birth soon. Even just 4 days of disagreement with his HPL.
“Yes, La. Ati-ati.” Reply while reviewing the smile.
“Rei, see you next week!” Sapa Asmira the young mother who will give birth for the second time. “Lo's pick has not arrived yet? Ato want to be with me?” tawar Asmira approached him.
“Light now, thanks. Careful, yes.” His message.
"Okay if that's it. First yes," replied Asmira.
One by one his classmates abandoned him. He was still sitting on the park bench. Waiting for Danang to pick him up. But for some reason, 15 minutes had passed the man was invisible.
Tumbens!
Usually too late Danang will tell it.
The sun is moving west. Street lights one by one started to light up.
He sighed. It feels better he is looking for a snack to prop up his stomach that began to rumble.
He walked and walked across the street. Up ahead there is a fast food restaurant he thought. Instead of going to the front office cafe which is quite far if you have to walk. He decided to go to a fast food restaurant closer.
QUIN ... TIN
He looked to the right and left. Many vehicles are driving fast. As if he did not care about pedestrians like himself who wanted to cross. We all have the same rights, right?
He repeatedly breathed. Waiting for the vehicle to stop to let pregnant women like herself cross over is rare. Five minutes he stood there, not a single vehicle would budge for him.
It all seems to be fighting over places. Time chasing.
QUIN ... TIN
He pursed his lips.
A car stopped right in front of him. Smile without feeling guilty.
He rushed in the car. Still silent not to talk.
“So sorry, suddenly called to Polda.”
Danang started driving his car.
He's still flinching. Shift your eyes to the side glass. Passing through the fast food restaurant with crispy fried chicken flour. Got jargon as ‘jagonya ayam’
“Hungary?” ask Danang.
Then the car pulled over on the shoulder of the road.
Spontaneous he asked, “You why?” he forgot that he was holding a ceasefire. Plus the fast food restaurant has been passed. Hope eat fried chicken extinct. The stomach is also getting stronger.
Danang pulled his seatbelt until it clicked. Then smile, “Kalo drive remember safety.” Her speech. While messing with her hair.
He grunts.
“Bumil don't get angry, later twins G demo!” the man smiled without feeling guilty.
Reflexes she looked at her husband. Frowning his forehead. What did he say? G twins? Meanin?
But he did not ask.
Urung.
He chose silence.
Danang drove his car to a PHD restaurant. This time with the slogan ‘make it great’.
He actually wondered. Why exactly come here.
“I know you're hungry.” Guess Danang.
And precise.
“I ordered 15 minutes ago. So take away. Don’t worry did not wear long,” the man took off his seat belt and passed.
Sure enough not to wear it for long, Danang has returned with a tent that arouses his taste.
“This, your favorite tuna melt,” the man thrust a box of pizza at her. While the other hand keeps the other box on the back bench. Danang rubbed his stomach, “do not make them starve. They sent a telepathic signal to his father.”
“Peach what?” this time he could not stand to comment.
Danang chuckles, “Dad, we lapal.” The voice of the man imitated the child's accent.
It's thawing. Then open the box. The distinctive fragrant smell of this food directly pierced his nose. He closed his eyes to enjoy the fragrance that lurked in his sense of smell. Without lingering again directly draw 1 slice.

Her sudden call to Polda coincided with the completion of Kirei's pregnancy gymnastics class.
He was almost at that place. But Mr. Agus as his superior who contacted him immediately made him change course.
He slammed the steering wheel into Mapolda.
Ten minutes to his boss. He drove back to pick up Kirei. He was sure the pregnant mother who was waiting for him must be upset. Pouty. But he has a cure for it.
The gestational age that was getting closer to the day of birth instead of making Kirei worried. Excessive anxiety. It's just the opposite.
Kirei is able to control himself. Yes, although fear sometimes arises. But it's still natural. Even his wife remained determined to maintain a normal birth.
A pinch of worry haunts him. He was more inclined for Kirei to conduct the operation. Although according to Dr. Yoiku, giving birth to a normal and caesarian sectio both have risks. But the gynecologist suggested giving birth normally if it meets the requirements. Among them is the fetus. That's an absolute condition that cannot be tolerated. Then the condition of the mother also has a big contribution in deciding to give birth normally or caesarean section.
“Mas, I want a normal stream.” His wife answers each time he persuades her. Seeing Kirei in pain as the G twins kicked in, the demo suddenly. Even almost every night saw trouble to sleep. Not to mention her swollen legs. It felt like he could not bear to see Kirei in pain during a normal childbirth.
However, he must not break his wife's spirit. All forms of effort Kirei did in order to give birth normally. Like taking a pregnancy class. He often takes her morning walks. Even if it was not possible, Kirei walked on the front porch back and forth until he felt enough.
Really am! Strong determination. Her spirit is incredible.
“Halo,”
“Yes, I order ... tuna melt 1. Meat lovers 1.”

Kirei
When he arrived home he felt his body was unusually tired. Perhaps by soaking in warm water can relax his tense muscles.
Danang prepared everything. He's really a standby husband. So it's not worth it to silence that man.
After coming out of the bathroom, he saw the man reading a book. Still using kimono towels he approached Danang.
“Udah okay?” Danang asked first.
He nodded. Sit on the edge of the bed.
“Again read what?”
It spelled, “Strong as a mother.”
“I saw on nightstand. So I read it. Turns out .. I should read this.” He just read the first part. About how a woman accepts her pregnancy early in pregnancy. Not just ‘do and don’t’ only. Like the books he's been reading lately. This book is more detailed in the presentation.
His heart was instantly filled.
“But it's for me. Prospective mother.”
Danang closed the book and then kept it on the nightstand.
“You're a mother-to-be. I'm a father-to-be. So you have to know what is needed and felt by a prospective mother.”
“Here, I pinched his leg. You docked there.” Danang pointed at the headboard.
He followed the orders of the man. Both of his legs were selonjoran lifted him to the thigh Danang.
“Usually use what oil?” Ask Danang. Though several times the man helped massage his legs when he complained of pain and swelling.
“Lavendar oil,” It pulls the nightstand drawer. Take the herbal message oil from there and then turn it to her husband.
“It's safe?”
“Aman, Mas.”
Danang began to drip some of the herbal oil into his palm. Then rub it into his feet. Start calf, go down to the ankle.
“Sick no?”
He shook.
“Oya, earlier Mas Danang said twins G?”
Danang smiled, “Still remember aja.”
“Mas Danang already got a name for them?” his hand rubbed his stomach.
“Udah,”
“Aduh,” he grimaces. His stomach is next to.
Danang immediately spruced up, rubbing it.
“Hello, twins G. It's dad,” Danang down talking to his stomach.
He's still grimacing, “Mas is like his feet,”
Danang was so amazed. Looking at his stomach as if rubber could flex to and fro.
“Still sick?”
He nodded, “Have very much here,” points in his heart.
Danang still rubbed his irregular stomach protrusions.
“Hai, twins G. Mother is in pain, dear. Don't play ball in the dalem, huh? Poor Mother. I promise you, we'll play ball together. Not now.”
“Twins G likes what?”
“Swimming?”
“OK. Daddy swimming. Not a professional athlete but I believe. Dad's record almost matched those athletes.”
“Soccer?”
“Don't get me wrong Daddy likes the ball. Red devil's favorite club. One day we will go to Old Trafford. Ask for photos of the squad. If you do not get photos, we can buy merchandise there,” Danang chuckled. Why go all the way to buy merchandise until the UK?
“Keep playing what else? Jabanin deh.”
“Daddy likes paragliding .. offroad hobby ... mountain riding ...” Danang paused and then laughed. Remembering the mountain automatically reminds the formation of G twins there. Hehehe chuckled in his heart.
While he was just shaking his head. The absurd chatter between the twins and his sometimes ludicrous father.
“Now twins G bobo, yes. Mother and father also want to rest. It's night. See you tomorrow morning.”
“We love you so much,” Danang peppered her stomach repeatedly.
It's efficacious!
One word that deserves to be pinned for Danang's treatment of them. Twins G according. It seems like the bonding of father and son was already created. Or even very tight.

Their days passed happily. Kirei who has applied for maternity leave because HPL is in sight.
Mother who deliberately came to accompany Kirei in the crucial times of the stages of his life. It has been coming since 2 days ago.
Then he had long coordinated with Pak Waka. If suddenly his wife gave birth.
And during the day he got a call from Kirei that his stomach was contracting.
“Mas, can you please come home for a while. My stomach hurts so much,” so he said on the phone.
He immediately rushed home.
Arriving at home he saw Kirei walking back and forth on the front porch.
“Lho, he said sick dear? Why even go for a gini walk?” tanyanya panic.
“The contract is gone, Mas . Hehehe ..”.
He sighed.
It was not once that his wife complained. He said it was a contraction, but the next few seconds were gone. Reappear again, disappear again. So keep going a few times. The doctor called it a false contraction.
He sits on the terrace seat. Take off her shoes and socks.
“Honey, instead of today control schedule?” remember today the last control. To find out the position of the fetus.
Kirei smiled but for a split second he closed his eyes and hissed.
“Mass ...”
He approached his wife holding his arm and his other hand supporting his back. “Contraction again?”
Kirei bit his lower lip. Gripping his arm firmly, then nodding.
“My feelings aren't good, dear. Should we go to the doctor?”
His wife seemed to be still enduring the pain. His eyes are still closed. Until it looks like his knuckles are tight because they are so tightly holding his arm. He also grimaced to see it.
As soon as I open my eyes, “I want to see a doctor, Mas. Now!!” Kirei Seru.
