Nine Months
Ervita is nine months pregnant. That means that the delivery period will soon arrive. Physically, Ervita does look more contained. During this pregnancy Ervita experienced weight gain of up to 12 kilograms. His cheeks are chubby. Nevertheless, Ervita is still working hard and looking after the batik kiosk. As if a big pregnancy was not a significant obstacle for her.
"It has been nine months Loh Vita .. has been getting closer to giving birth," said Bu Tari who was that afternoon coming to the batik kiosk.
"Yes ma'am. If the night is sometimes like tightness, sleep can only tilt," he replied with a laugh and stood holding his waist.
"Once you sit down. Don't stand up" said Ms. Tari.
Then Ms. Tari gave a plastic bag to Ervita, "Vita, this is from the Father and Mother well.
Ervita seemed to frown on her forehead, what more gift did Bu Tari give her. For Ervita, Miss Dance is so good. During this time Bu Tari also gave several times for him to check and now this large white plastic bag is definitely containing something.
Ervita who received it, slowly opened it, "Equipment for babies?" ervita asked confusedly.
"Yes .. for his grandson Mom and Dad later. I don't know if your baby will be a girl or a boy, but I choose a neutral color. Hopefully used well later," said Bu Tari again.
Ervita who listened to Bu Tari's words really felt moved. There are others who are so kind to her and her baby. Even for the baby's equipment, Miss Tari bought it for Ervita.
In the plastic bag there is baby clothes, there is a lathe for mothers to give birth, there is a kerojong so that babies are not bitten by mosquitoes at night, there are equipment for babies ranging from telon oil, baby perfume, baby perfume, shoes and baby hats. Ervita who saw it all was so moved. Once again Ms. Dance showed her form of affection and concern for Ervita.
"It's a lot of money, ma'am" said Ervita.
"It's okay. Tomorrow I buy diapers for the baby and diapers for the mother. Wear diapers only later if the puerperium, the capacity is more and more comfortable for you," said Bu Tari again.
"Vita buy it yourself, ma'am," she replied. Because, Ervita felt bad because all this time Bu Tari has helped her so much. His financial and moral support was really given by Bu Tari to him.
"It's okay. You would have said if you consider us as your family, don't hesitate," he replied.
Perhaps the innate sensitive pregnant woman, Ervita actually returned to crying there. Really do not think that getting a splash of kindness from people who actually have no blood relationship makes it very moved. His heart was very touched. Those who are bloodily cast her out under the pretext that being pregnant without a husband is a reproach, but there are others who are not one blood, but show affection.
"Kok even cried. Already, it's okay. Don't think that this mother and family is worth your money. I'm sincere, you've been like my own child," said Bu Tari again.
Ervita nodded her head there, "Thank you very much Ms ... Ervita doesn't know in what way to pay for all of Mom's kindness" she said.
"No need to reply, Vit .. pray that your Father and Mother are healthy, sane (fully healthy - in Javanese), and can be useful to others. Likewise, I will pray for you hopefully smooth delivery later. The stomach is getting down well, be more careful. Do not ride your own motorcycle. Starting tomorrow to be picked up Pandu. Pregnant women of this size are still riding a motorcycle," he replied.

The next day ....
At approximately 08.30 hours, seen Pandu who was waiting in front of his boarding house Ervita. The 27-year-old was still sitting on his motorcycle and sent Ervita a message so Ervita could get out. Because, Pandu was reluctant to enter the boarding house that was the princess's boarding house.
Not long after, Ervita was down from the boarding house, the pregnant woman was ready to go back to work. Because of working at kiosks, not in companies or government agencies that provide maternity leave, Ervita is persistent to work until the time to give birth later. Although actually beware, but how else to live everything alone.
"Mas Pandu," he said softly as he descended from his hostel.
"Hmm, yes ... leave now?" ask Pandu.
"Yes Mas .. sorry to bother ya Mas," said Ervita again.
"It's okay," replied Pandu.
Ervita also started riding the N-Max motorbike owned by Pandu and keep the distance so as not to get too close to Pandu. However they are the opposite sex, not the mahram, so that makes Ervita more distance guard. Ervita also chose to sit sideways, and her hands held on the back of the motorcycle saddle seat.
About a 20-minute drive away, and now that they had arrived at Beringharjo Market, Pandu appeared to be walking in front of Ervita, and then the man opened the stall, pushing his door up, he said, afterwards also Pandu who issued some batik stand there, and he told Ervita to rest only.
"Sit down, Ervi .. I'm it," he said.
"Let me help you, Mas .. should be Mas Pandu to his stall by late afternoon. Even troublesome," said Ervita.
Saw Pandu shaking his head, "No. Before work, also often help the Father and Mother also really," he replied.
Just a while arranging the batik stall, Ervita suddenly felt cold sweat flowing from her body. Even now Ervita chose to sit first and wipe his sweat there.
"Why Ervi?" ask Pandu who saw Ervita sitting and seen wiping the sweat on his forehead.
"My body doesn't taste good" he said.
Ervita tried to hold back the crying. Didn't think that his body was healthy and there were no problems, and now his forehead is sweating and his hips are hot and his stomach is so hearty there. What happened to Ervita? Could it be that the time for delivery is near?
