Unraveling Stories
By nightfall, because time on the island of Bali follows Central Indonesia Time, Evan sleeps by following the Central Indonesia Time Zone (WITA). Maybe also because all afternoon playing on the beach, at night Evan had complained sleepy and wanted to fall asleep immediately.
“Mama, baby sister is still a long time not born?” ask Evan this time to his mother.
“Maybe another four months, Van ...what's up?” ask Sara.
“If his brother is a boy, it will be the same as Evan, Ma .. Evan would like to take care of his sister,” said Evan this time.
It is seen that Evan feels also more ready to become an older brother, so Evan wants also one room with his baby sister later. Sara smiled and rubbed the top of Evan's head.
“The baby sister will be boobok with Mama and Papa first yes Kak Evan .. if it is getting bigger, can later one room with Brother Evan,” replied Sara.
It is not a matter of not allowing, just that newborn babies are better close to their parents. Especially in the first 40 days of life, the baby still has a pattern of life as in the womb. Babies can also tantrum and often ask for breast milk. If it is far apart, it is afraid that Sara will not be alert to the baby later.
“Oh, so the boboknya place Baby Sister placed in the room Mama and Papa yah?” ask Evan again.
“Iya, for a while, Van .. later if you can bob yourself. Baby sister can really bob together Sister Evan,” reply Sara.
Sometimes parents need to give understanding to their children. Answer their questions logically and keep using simple language that is easy for children to understand according to their age.
“OK deh Ma .. later if the sister is big, just bob the same Evan. Evan will take care of sister kok Ma .. later the bed is changed into a two-story bed that is one above and one below it loh Ma,” pinta Evan again.
“Iya Nak, later well .. if you can not use two beds only. Evan want to share a room with sister?” ask Sara.
Seen Evan nodded his head, “Iya dong ... want dong,” reply Evan with a laugh.
Sara feels very relieved because Evan grew up to be a good child, and also during these five months by continuing to involve Evan during Sara's pregnancy to make Evan also more ready to become an older brother. Sara hopes that in the future Evan can be a good brother and sister for his sister later. The same is the case with the sister who can be a good brother and sister also for Evan.
Sara herself was the only child in her family, so she never felt the affection between siblings. So Sara this time had to learn a lot and also teach good things to Evan and his sister later.
“Ya already, it's night .. Evan want to bob now?” sara asked her son.
“Iya want to bob now and hugged Mama well,” he said.
Sara smiles, and she then hugs Evan and gives a swab at Evan's head. Hoping that her son would soon fall asleep and then she could accompany her husband waiting in his room.
Thank goodness it didn't take long, Evan was asleep. Sara kissed her son's forehead affectionately.
“Sleep Yes Unfortunately Mama .. Her baby Mama. Mama hopes you will be a good Sister for the Sister later,” said Sara.
Then Sara walked slowly towards her room inside the villa, the woman opened the door slowly and circulated her eyes looking for the figure of her husband. Apparently Belva was sitting in the corner of the sofa and playing with a cell phone in his hand.
“Now what is Mas?” sara asked and took a seat next to her husband.
“This .. view gallery only, Dear .. view photos of our memories,” reply Belva.
Belva then hands her phone to Sara, “Nih, you just see ... all in this folder are her photos Evan,” reply Belva.
However, it seems reluctant to accept the phone from the hands of her husband. For Sara the phone is privacy and she does not want to look at the contents on her husband's phone.
“You alone hold,” reply Sara.
But Belva actually handed the phone into the hands of Sara. “Hold it, just wear it, I don't mind. Don't phone, my whole heart and my life are fully open to you,” Belva's reply this time.
Yeah, Belva doesn't mind if Sara holds her phone and sees Evan's photos in the storage gallery. After all, Belva also wanted Sara to see and take control of her heart and life.
“Serious?” ask Sara at the end.
“Iya .. seriously. Mobile is a small thing, baby. My heart and my life are completely open to you. You are the owner,” Belva replied in earnest.
The pink hue seemed to be gracing Sara's cheeks at this moment. The woman smiled as she shifted the photos of Evan there. It was as if he saw the growth and development of Evan who had indeed been missed by him. Looking at the baby Evan who was so nervous, and also seeing month after month of Evan's development.
“You photographed all this?” ask Sara.
“Iya dong .. Papa Belva dong who photographed Evan,” replied with a laugh and implied that the man was so confident.
Again Sara laughed at the answer full of confidence from her husband. Just hearing Belva's words makes Bumil feel happy.
“Mas, this?” sara asked when she saw a picture there.
Didn't expect that it was a photo of her while breastfeeding Evan. Belva could photograph himself secretly. Even Sara did not think that Belva had ever photographed it candidly.
“That's you, dear ... clearly visible your affection as a Mother. I often looked at him,” Belva answered honestly.
But just after seeing the photo there was the bitterness felt by Sara. “Then, I wasn't a good Mom, Mas .. Even I left Evan,” Sara replied.
Fully Sara realized that her actions in the past were not right. There is a guilt that never goes away. Until forever, Sara will remember the biggest mistake she ever took. A mother who cannot see her child's growth is the saddest thing. Sara has experienced it too.
“Not entirely your fault,” replied Belva in the end. “In my eyes, what you did was right .. you gave the opportunity to the late Anin to feel like a mother in her last two years.”
Slowly Sara nodded her head, and immediately hugged Belva, wrapped around her husband's waist with both hands. “I'm sorry Mas,” Sara said this time.
“You are innocent, dear .. I was also guilty in the past. I hope there are no more tempests in the household. If there is, never leave me,” reply Belva.
“Iya Mas .. I will always be with you. I also have the same hope that you can spend time with you, Evan, and our baby later. If I am wrong, guide me .. rebuke me. I don't mind at all. I'm all yours, Mas,” Sara said confidently.
It was a night Sara could really get through. Heard Evan's story and his son's desire to become a good Brother. Now Sara can parse the story with her husband. Both learn from the bitter past, and create hope in a better future for the four of them. Sara, Belva, Evan, and the baby will realize every hope with a prayer in the heart, and a sincere intention to continue to live it all.
