Fully Being a Dad
Pandu felt the experience of accompanying Ervita gave birth greatly changed his life. He became aware that a woman's struggle was extraordinary. Struggle with blood and tears. Not infrequently women die when giving birth to their baby.
"The experience with you really changed my life, Dinda" said Pandu.
Ervita who had just been cleaned and transferred to the hospital room smiled at her husband. It was already midnight, but Ervita was asked not to go straight to sleep. At least an hour after delivery, she was asked to stay awake. Therefore, Pandu invites Ervita to chat first.
"Is it Yes?" ervita asked in a soft voice.
"Yes, Dinda. This was my first experience, however, so it was really thrilling and I will never forget" Pandu replied.
Despite his affection for Indi, Pandu still felt that this experience of childbirth was his first. Therefore, this moment became so special for Pandu. It is also undeniable that her biological child is Irene.
"The moment of giving birth always has a story and will never be forgotten, Mas. Just like when I gave birth to Indi. I live alone in the delivery room. No hands holding me. How dear did my pain feel first?"
Yes, Ervita is limited to remembering that the struggle used to feel bitter. No one accompanied. No one was pushing and holding his hand. So that everything feels so dramatic.
"Looking at your struggles, which drained my energy and tears, I feel more and more in love with you, Nda. Very love. Just changing your position, I can't. It is precisely a husband will sin when he betrays his wife, and forgets the great sacrifice of the wife when giving birth to their children" Andrew replied.
Ervita commented a smile on her face. Again, this is her great husband's guide. A man who values women. Puts women in their best position, and there is also a sense for commitment in the marriage relationship.
"Yes Mas, don't cheat yes, Mas .. later maybe I will be unattractive. The weight I could have gained while breastfeeding Irene, my activities were also limited. Just combing hair is hard. When I'm like that don't be tempted by others, Mas" Pinta Ervita.
Pandu shook his head. "Later, I'll comb your hair, Nda. I bribe you while you give ASI to Iren. My promise I'll do it first, I'll treat you well my whole life."
"Thank you very much Mas Pandu" replied Ervita.
"Sama-sama Dinda .. earlier Irene has sintered well suck her ASI. Hopefully Irene will grow up healthy" Pandu replied.
Ervita then looked at her husband. "Mas, later if Irene has come out of the incubator for observation, don't forget to be in-adzanin first, Mas. It was forgetfulness," Ervita replied.
Pandu nodded his head. "Ah, yes .. I just greeted him, Dinda. Say that you love Irene, just like unfortunately Yamah to Mbak Didi. Yes, later if Irene has been brought here well," replied Pandu.
"Then, listening to you chant the Adhan in Indi's ear when she was born, my heart trembled. At that time, I dreamed, how happy Indi had a good father like you. Apparently, God granted it all. Indi became your daughter" Ervita replied.
"I've wanted to marry you a long time ago, Dinda. In my eyes both Indi and Irene made no difference. It's just that, it's still my first experience with maternity, seeing a baby out of her birth canal, and also seeing a baby pinned to her mother's chest to perform an Early Breastfeeding Initiation. God, that's amazing," replied Pandu.
Ervita did know that this experience was still a first for her husband. Ervita then held her husband's hand. "It's official from Dad completely huh Mas?"
"Yes, Biological father. Fully realized today. Thank you, Dinda. All because of you," replied Pandu.
"Thank you also Mas Pandu ... with you, I got a much better birth experience. I was accompanied, and I was always motivated to be able to fight to the end" Ervita replied.
Pandu lowered his body, and landed his lips right on Ervita's forehead. Pecked it for a few seconds there.
"I'm always with you, Dinda. Healthy, sick, difficult, and happy, we will go through together. Do not be afraid, bad things that happened in the past will not be repeated again" Pandu replied.

A few hours later ....
The rest of the night was finally spent on Ervita to rest and recover her strength. Until the morning, Pandu was shocked by a knock from outside the room, apparently there was a Hospital officer who delivered breakfast for patients.
"Morning breakfast for the Patient" the officer said.
"Well, thank you," replied Pandu.
Ervita, who was awake, saw Pandu with a tray and filled with food. "Mas," he called her soft.
"Hmm, yes Dinda .. have you woken up?" ask Pandu.
"Yes, .. Can you ask for help, Mas?" pinta Ervita to her husband.
"Why, Nda?"
"Help allow the position of the safe, Mas, my back is hot when lying down. Want to move is also difficult because my hand is still installed infusion hose," said Ervita.
Nodding his face, Pandu picked up the remote and then set the gurney position as Ervita wanted. After that, Pandu sat behind Ervita. Unasked, Pandu had already taken a comb and tidied up Ervita's long hair, then pigtailed it.
"Let's be tidy well, Nda," he said.
So painstakingly Pandu to take care of his wife who is still in recovery. Even now Pandu also offers breakfast to Ervita. However, Ervita does not want because it is not a laper.
Until finally there was a knock on the door, and Pandu stood up again and opened the door. Apparently a nurse with a baby box in which there is a little daughter they both.
"Excuse me Ms. Ervita, the baby's been under observation for six hours, and has been urinating and has had her first pup removed. Now, the little one is given ASI first yes ma'am ... Hasn't she come out yet?" ask the nurse.
Ervita nodded her head. "Yes, it's out, Sister," she replied.
Finally, Baby Irene was positioned in Ervita's hand, and Pandu, who helped unbutton Ervita's shirt, saw for himself how the little baby drank breast milk. Pandu seemed amazed because there was a natural impulse from the baby that makes the baby can suck breast milk and Ervita smiled to observe the baby who drank the main source of life.
"His ASI've been out a lot, ma'am?" ask the nurse again.
"Lumayan the Sister," he replied.
"Alright, later if the baby's sister is placed in the baby box again yes, Mom. It can be with the mother."
Pandu who saw his baby again shed his tears. Irene, the fruit of her love with Ervita. The proof is real long adventure to swargaloka, and it's in Irene. The perfect blend between Ervita and Pandu.
