Rajasa
Post Partus

Their lives changed after the birth of Malika. The baby they are waiting for becomes the separation of their relationship.

The state of Edelweis was very chaotic and changed one hundred and eighty degrees. His life is only about Malika.

They rarely talk, joke, or make love.

Rajasa goes to work. Edelweis is still asleep. After the dawn prayer. Edelweis went back to sleep. Stealing time. Because the hours of sleep and breastfeeding Malika is very irregular.

When Rajasa comes home. Edelweiss was also asleep. Waking up in the middle of the night until early morning before dawn. Fall asleep after dawn. Bathe Malika at eight in the morning and hang her out. Then breastfeed and Malika will fall asleep afterwards until Edelweis steals time to pray the zuhr and eat. Then accompany and re-feed.

Edelweis lived in his own world with Malika. Rajasa himself does not want to feel competing with Malika.

Understand fully that Malika desperately needs her mother. Their relationship when Edelweis conceived Malika, hanging by her through the umbilical cord. It seems to continue but this time through both breasts Edelweis that replace the function of the umbilical cord.

Rajasa gets bored all day at home on his weekends. Edelweis is busy with Malika every second. Ignoring himself.

All the needs have been provided and prepared assistant of their household. But it still feels very boring.

"We're weekly nights, yuk, baby."

"I can't leave Malika."

"We're taking Malika down the road."

"So, is Malika really the way out?"

"She doesn't like going out of the house."

"I don't know if he's older. But now Malika is very comfortable at home. The paradise is to breastfeed and nenenku nenggang."

"You've never taken any more time for me. Especially watching me?"

"I have to how? For prayer, eating and bathing I am troubled. Must steal time let alone do anything else."

"But I'm bored at home."

"Yes, you've just left with your friends. I'm more comfortable at home accompanying Malika."

"Well, I'll take Roy with me."

"Good idea."

Rajasa calls Roy and he accompanies Angela and their toddler for a walk.

"Roy, can't keep me company. Accompany Angela and their baby for a walk."

"You just join them."

"Not good, ah! I walk alone."

"Yes already."

"Try you to learn with Angela how to manage a baby?"

"I don't think it can be equated. I've tried to regulate sleep, eating and formula for Malika, failed. Malika seems very comfortable if I follow all her will."

"Currently comfortable. But I need you too. I want you to keep working as my secretary, take care of me and Malika. To carry out your duties as a wife."

"I can't do anything but take care of Malika. I'm sorry!"

"Yeah! I-i understand. He always cries if held other than you even I am his own father. I don't want to carry it for long. Always wanted to stick with you."

"My breasts are like umbilical cords for her. Be patient for your son."

"Yeah! All righty! I want refreshing, right? Bored at home. Looking for a new atmosphere."

"All right! I'm sorry I couldn't keep you company."

"It's okay! I just feel sorry to see you have no other activities other than breastfeeding our child. Aren't you bored?"

"I don't think I'm bored. What I have in mind is how to make Malika comfortable."

"All right!" I'll go first, okay?" Rajasa kissed his wife. He also did not live close to Edelweis. Since giving birth, often smell fishy ASI and sweat from the body of his wife.

"You don't eat first?" Ask Edelweis.

"Let me eat outside. I'm gonna go watch. Looks like a good movie."

"All right! Have fun."

"I'm sorry, baby. Not to take you both. But you're the ones who are more comfortable at home."

"Yes, it's okay."

"Thank you, baby! You're very understanding!" Rajasa gives kiss bye to his wife and baby.

"So, do we!"

Rajasa opened the glass door of his car, "What do you want me to bring?"

"Eclair, risoles fill ragout and chicken lemper."

"OK! I'll go first, baby?" Rajasa throws a kiss bye at his wife and son.

Rajasa drove his car leisurely. Music of Edelweis. Treating his longing in his wife who began to change after giving birth to their child.

He was as if he had just been released from a narrow, stuffy hole. If it can be compared. Work from Monday and Friday to late night. Makes him want to refresh himself who is often hit by stress due to work pressure.

Choose his favorite mall with Edelweis. It also makes it easier to buy Edelweis' favorite food. Plus the mall is indeed the most comfortable to spend the weekend and refreshing.

Rajasa walks to the cinema and buys himself a ticket. Then head to his favorite eatery and Edelweis. 

Lesehan's place of eating. Sea food and fresh vegetables.

When walking to the place to eat. Seeing a woman painstakingly carrying her groceries while holding a baby. The woman was with a girl aged about fourteen to fifteen years. Help bring the groceries. They each brought a shopping trolley.

"Let me help." Tawar Rajasa politely did not have the heart to see the hassles of the two women.

The woman turned her body.

"Nurma?" Sapa Rajasa was shocked.

"Mr?"

"I see you two in trouble. Let me help you bring the trolley. So you can carry your baby better."

"No need sir. I can do it myself."

"It's okay! I'll help you!" Rajasa takes over the trolley that Nurmala, his new secretary, brought.

The trolley carried by the girl contained diapers, milk, vegetable oil, rice, sugar, butter, snacks, instant noodles, fruit, vegetables and processed meat. Meatballs, nuggets, sausages.

The trolley that Nurmala brought contained various soaps, bath soap, hand washing, dish washing, detergent, fragrance, baseball and clothing bleach.  Needs baby bath, shampoo, soap, cologne, body lotion, fresh meat in the form of chicken, fish, eggs and various types of beef. Coffee, milk, tea, syrup, bottled drinks, frozen food and vegebtables. 

"Have you eaten yet?" Ask Rajasa.

"We're rushing home, sir. I'll be home later."

"Eat with me, right? I haven't eaten either. Than eating alone. Let's stop by my favorite eatery and my wife."

"No need, sir!"

"It's okay! Come with me!" Rajasa pushed the trolley he was pushing towards his favorite dining spot two floors above him.

"You're shopping here?"

"Yes sir! It's cheaper here."

"Any and complete?"

Nurmala nodded her head in agreement.

Arriving at his favorite place to eat. Trolleys were placed near the entrance of the dining area.

They entered into the selection of Rajasa and Edelweis' favorite lesehan spots.

Rajasa ordered a dried fried gurame fish, crispy shrimp, grilled squid, tempeh tofu and balacan kale. Iced tea sweet for the three of them. Large mineral water size 1000 ml cold a bottle.

"This your sister?" Ask Rajasa. 

"Not my neighbor but I've considered him my own little brother. I love asking you to take care of my son."

"Whose name?"

"Tania."

"No school?"

"School."

"If you go to school, who's looking after Nurmala's baby?"

"Take it to my mother."

"He's looking for extras by looking after my son but if he goes to school. Taken to his mother."

Rajasa smiled widely. Food and drink arrived. Rajasa poured rice into his plate.Filling his plate with side dishes and vegetables he ordered. Tania and Nurmala themselves take turns eating.

Finish eating. Rajasa escorted the two of them to the front of the lobby of the mall. He left the trolley and the two were there. He rushed to the cinema to see the movie he had bought.
