Mas Duda Looking For Mom Milk
Piatu Since Born
As the night continues to cover the earth, in fact there is a small baby who is awake. The little baby whose eyes are not clear must be awake on a dark night. Not crying, but the baby just stared at what he could see with the function of his eyes that had not fully focused, and occasionally inserted his tiny fingers into his own mouth.
I don't know how long the little baby was awake. Until finally heard the cry of the baby, which woke Mama Marina and Papa Budi. The middle-aged couple woke up and saw inside the baby box apparently the little Citra was crying there.
“Papa, please warm ASIP from his wife Doctor Bhishma earlier well, put in dodot only,” pinta Mama Marina.
Given that Citra does not have a Mama, maybe the baby will drink milk from the dodot and there will be no confusion pu-ting that is usually experienced by newborn babies. So this time Mama Marina asked Papa Budi to put the ASIP into the dodot.
“How many Ma?” ask Papa Budi while rubbing his eyes and also yawning.
“20 ml only Pa.. earlier, Doctor Bhishma said that newborns need breast milk only 20 ml every time they drink,” said Mama Marina.
After the ASIP is frozen warm, then Papa Budi poured a little ASI into the milk dodot. Mama Marina checks whether her granddaughter is hungry, awake, or full of diapers. There are many things that make a baby cry. Mama Marina merabah diapers worn Citra.
“Oalah .. diapers you full huh Darling? Cup-cup-cup ... Here Grandma dressing. The ASIPnya has been prepared by Grandpa,” said Mama Marina by starting to release the Citra diapers and replace them with new diapers.
After that, Mama Marina began to pound Citra's body to warm up, then pet it for a while and give ASIP from the dodot. Mama Marina smiled looking at the tiny face of the baby who was less than 2 days old. Her tiny face, nose, lips, and fingers also looked so tiny.
The happiness of seeing Baby C, in fact, replaced with a sense of tightness and sadness. This little baby should get affection and warm hugs from the mother. Getting the best ASI and exclusively from his mother. However, Citra had to be an orphan from birth. In just a few hours, he had the chance to be close to his mother. After that, his mother had to experience severe postpartum bleeding to bring the Mother to face the Powerful One first.
“Why Ma?” ask Papa Budi who sat next to Mama Marina. It was seen that his wife was wiping a circle of tears from the corner of her eye.
“Partra's Love, Pa.. Look, this small ... this small, and this fragile, but already an orphan. Very sorry Nak,” said Mama Marina with awe-inspiring.
The deep loss that children feel if their parents are gone. However, Citra did not feel it because she had only seen the world for less than 24 hours. Haven't seen his mother's face. Just touch when doing Early Breastfeeding Initiation only, it is not up to an hour.
“Sabar Ma .. We all have to be strong for Citra and Tama. We will love Citra,” reply Papa Budi.
“Tama has been so destroyed, Ma .. we must comfort him and also strengthen him,” said Papa Budi again.
“Mama was also destroyed, Pa.... for Mama, Cellia was not a daughter-in-law, but a daughter. I'm so sorry about Cellia. Given how patiently Cellia faces Tama, it can make Tama fall in love and make the decision to get married. It was amazing, Pa .. but, she left so fast,” Mama Marina said with a sigh that felt so heavy.
Papa Budi's hand moved and embraced Mama Marina's shoulder, “Sabar Ma.. God gave the test, so that His people might grow stronger, so that His weak people might gain strength from it. We are simply living the life God has destined. In the end, all men will return to God. It's just, Cellia who has preceded us all,” explained Papa Budi.
Baby C, who was in her grandmother's hand, was still crying. Perhaps, the little baby also wants a warm hug and a sincere welcome from a mother. It's just, all that Baby C never felt.
“Cup ... dear ... unfortunately Grandma. Imagery why? What do you want to talk to Grandma? Silence yes Darling .. It is still dark, Darling. Pinter's image, right? Bobok again yuk, tomorrow morning sunbathing with Grandma,” he said calming Citra.
Practically, Mama Marina took over for the nurturing of Citra. Because, Mama Marina is sure that Tama is still very hit. Not to doubt, just that a man must also feel stiff and clumsy to care for a newborn baby. For that, let Mama Marina who nurtured Baby C to Tama in a stable condition.
Early that day, almost 2 hours of Cellia awake. Her crying had subsided, but her eyes had not been closed. Sometimes the baby smiles at himself. Sometimes he tried to escape from the cloth wrapped around his body.
“Papa sleep first Pa .. let Mama keep Citra,” said Mama Marina.
“Iya Ma .. sorry yes Ma, Papa's eyes are very heavy,” Papa Budi replied.
When Papa Budi returned to sleep, Mama Marina still held her granddaughter. “Baby C a strong child well .. God surely gives a beautiful rainbow in life Citra. The image means light, light .. So be the light that radiates and brightens our lives and your Papa life well. Love Papa and Mama. Smart image well later .. Grandma and Grandpa very dear Citra,” muttered Mama Marina who spoke and offered her prayers and hopes for Citra.
Truly, humanly, Mama Marina was so bitter. His grandson, Citra Eira Kinanthi, had to be an orphan since he was very young. Citra's childhood will not be the same as other babies who have a Father and Mother. The image only has a Father, Citra will not feel the warm embrace of the Mother, the humming of the song of the Mother, the gentle strokes and caresses of the Mother's hands, the image will not feel the warm embrace of the Mother, and also many other things that will not be felt from the figure of his mother.
Imagining it all, Mama Marina's heart was very sad. A baby this small, with skin that is still reddish should be an orphan from birth.
