Muara Kasih Single Mother
Wejangan from Parents
The Son is a gift from the Power of the Father. Pandu and Ervita are also in the waiting stage, when God will give offspring for both of them. Not just waiting, they both tried. However, the right time is still in the sovereignty of God alone.
"So soon, Father and Mother want to ask first, if you have another child, Indi's sister, you are ready not?" ask Mr. Hadinata to Pandu and Ervita.
"Ready, Father," answered the two steadily.
When married to Pandu, and then they wrestled together, at that time Ervita was preparing herself for the possibility of getting pregnant soon, whether it was sooner or later. Ervita also since giving birth to Indi until now also did not install contraception at all.
"Not Father and Mother asked in a hurry it was not. It's just, try to have time together, more quality, so that it becomes. Praying that Gusti would have cute kids for you both. The jewelry of the married people is their children. Just like Mom and Dad, all of this is just a pennant. However, our most noble jewelry is Pertiwi and Pandu," explained Mr. Hadinata.
Pandu and Ervita were silent, listening to the pitutur (advice - in Javanese) from Pak Hadinata to the two of them. And, Pandu and Ervita opened their insight that children are valuable jewelry for parents.
"Treasures and children are the embellishments of the life of the world, but everlasting wrong practices are better rewarded with your Lord and better to be hope," said Mr. Hadinata who quoted QS Al-Khafi 18 verse 46.
"In faith we say that the child is the jewel of the life of the world. We parents should take care of and love our children to the best of our ability. I pray you are quickly given the blessings of momongan," replied Mr. Hadinata again.
Ervita and Pandu both nodded their heads. It is not asked to immediately have children, but with the pregnancy of Pertiwi made Pak Hadinata and Bu Tari also want the same for Pandu and Ervita.
"Ervi isn't KB, is it?" tanya Bu Tari later.
"Mboten ... Ervi is not KB at all. Since giving birth until now do not use constraception," he replied.
Ms. Tari then laughed, "If in the past, the mothers did not use contraception, every year can continue to have children. That is why the ancient man was his son. The mother was her 11th child. While Sinbahnya Father is his son 7. Really big family," replied Miss Tari.
In the past, birth rates were so high. There are no restrictions on having children. New in the era of the new order, proclaimed Family Planning, and each household is better to have only two children.
"Yes, Mom. Especially with philosophy, many children have a lot of fortune. So much to have children" Ervita replied.
"If now it doesn't need much, Vi. Therefore, children need not only to be born, but also raised, well-groomed, get a good education. The responsibility and role of parents are also carried out," replied Mr. Hadinata.
"True Mr. .. Like the two of us, his only two children. Pertiwi and Pandu, once they get the school right, get a soul mate, we're relieved, Vi," replied Bu Tari.
"So when are you guys on your honeymoon. Its alright. You guys are young, enjoying what can be enjoyed is okay. After all, Mom and Dad are ready to help. Effort first," replied Mr. Hadinata.
The guide who had been silent since then, slowly asked Ervita. "You Nda?" ask the man to his wife.
"Just give it up" replied Ervita.
"Will I go to Surabaya later?" ask Pandu again.
"Yes, sana .. go with Pandu, go for a walk together. Later if you have a baby, it will be difficult again the opportunity for both. Kayak Pertiwi, if here Lintang often nurtured Eyangnya. He and Damar went for a walk together. For Mom, it's okay. While still young, Mother is also a colossal person, Mother can adjust to Pertiwi, and with you too, Vi.. remember, for Mother and Father, you are our son," his reply.
"Nitip Indi nggih Bu?"
"Yes, just calm down. Indi Sama Eyangnya. Enjoyed there," replied Miss Dance again.
That day, quite a long time Ervita and Pandu were at his parents' house. Until late afternoon, they just returned to their own home. Once at home, Ervita bathes Indi first and then feeds Indi.
Ervita and Pandu take turns to bathe and clean themselves. Then only at 19:00, Indi was fussy and sleepy, so Ervita put her son to sleep first, while Pandu waited in his room. Not until 15 minutes, Ervita had come out of his room Indi and entered into his room.
"Indi's been booted Nda?" ask Pandu later.
"Yes, it's .. the tiredness of playing the same as possible."
"Here Nda, sit here," said Pandu patting the part of the sofa he was sitting on asking Ervita to sit close to him.
Ervita went to the sofa, and then took a seat next to her husband.
"Yes, Mas Pandu ... What's wrong?" tanyakanya.
"You don't feel pressured by my parents to have children right away?" tanyakanya.
Ervita sighed for a moment and then just spoke, "No. Parents also want their newly married children also given momongan. So, yeah .. We'll just try."
"Thank God, I'm afraid that you feel pressured," Pandu replied later,
Ervita shook her head slowly, "No, I don't feel pressured, it's even that we're being noticed with Father and Mother" he replied.
"So, will you come with me to Surabaya?" ask Pandu then to his wife.
"May Mas .. enjoy first as Mother said, and also try," he replied.
Pandu then smiled, "Prepared with the onslaught of hot clouds and eruption yes Nda," Pandu replied with a laugh.
"Can ... if you know something will happen. Though we also just three months married yes Mas .. funny. Got to go the extra mile" Ervita replied.
Pandu laughed, "I have to learn new moves and turn off like Nda" he replied.
That night, the couple was so absurd and laughed together. I don't know what they're talking about, but it appears that both are equally happy. Not feeling depressed, but the effort still has to go on.
