Sekar & Raja Phinisi
Boy & Girl

Doctor Ucy accompanied by a fishmonger mother to enter his practice room. The uncle waited outside the room.

Seemingly unwilling to part with that mother. The middle-aged face reminded him of his mother. It feels very eager to be accompanied by his parents in stressful times like this.

“Mama…! Pain huft... huft... huft...” New 15 minutes of contractions Sekar already feel fatigue.

“Come on deck.. You can.. Breathe long..push..” Doctor Ucy saw Sekar has been ringing many times.

Soon there was an obstetrician who had Ucy's doctor call, finally came too. The female doctor helped deliver Sekar. Sweat has washed the clothes Sekar. He's exerting all his power. 20 Minutes later, a baby cries.

“Oek... Oek...!” For the first time Sekar heard the sound of her baby crying. Her tears flowed enjoying the sound of her baby crying.

Thank God, finally the child I wanted to have an abortion had been born. Thank you.. Thank you.. For the opportunity to get this most beautiful gift. Mama will be a father and mother to you, son.We certainly can, murmured Sekar in his tears.

“Don't sleep miss Cello..!” the seller's mother selar wiggled Sekar's arm. “There's still one more baby who dregs..!” I suddenly heard the mother's words.

“Push again Now.. Come on deck.. There is still one more baby..” Doctor Ucy encourages.

“Huft... Yuuhhh!” Sekar gathers the remnants of energy to push the other twins.

It's been 45 minutes for Sekar to try to get her baby out normally. His power's drained. The two doctors discussed each other to make a decision. Usually the distance of twins will be born in the range of 10 to 30 minutes. But this is past that time.  The condition of the mother's body that has run out of energy can also be at risk for the mother's life. Sekar finally obeyed the advice of doctor Ucy to perform a caesarean section.

And after 40 minutes of surgery, the other twin can come out safely. This is a historic event for the mother of a salaried fish seller. Standing accompanies the birth of a baby from a young woman who is not her child. There is happiness and sadness. Happy because finally both twins can be born safely even though in 2 different ways. And sad to see the struggle of girls giving birth without the company of one family.

“Congratulations miss Cello. May your husband return quickly from his work. She must have been very lucky to have twin girls.” The mother rubbed the sweat on Sekar's face.  

Five days later after the condition of Sekar's body improved, Sekar held a thanksgiving party. Sekar invited traders in the market to celebrate the birth of his son. Sekar also invited Mr. Djayus and his two wives to share his happiness. At the event Sekar gave the names for the two babies. Benedictus Boy for his boy and Gabriella Girl for his daughter.

“So what's his nickname?” ask Djayus sir who is enjoying a meal.

“Boy for the guy.. And Girl for the girl, sir,” replied Sekar while carrying Girl.

Now enjoying a 3-month vacation with both babies. Sekar feels very lucky because Mr. Djayus is very kind and attentive to himself and his twins. Lots of baby equipment bought by Mr. Djayus for Boy and Girl.

After the holidays are up, Sekar must return to work at the resort Pak Djayus. Sekar also uses the services of baby sitters to keep Boy and Girl while working. Sekar working hours that start from afternoon to evening as night entertainment are quite helpful for baby sitter work. Because usually Boy and Girl easily sleep in the afternoon. When they wake up in the middle of the night to ask for breast milk, Sekar is home. Such were the days of Sekar in the fourth month after his two children were born.

Until one day his father called in the morning.

Tilulit.. Tilulit.. Tilulit. Girl and Boy also woke up “Oek.... Oek...!” The voices of both are simple. Sekar who is still half conscious grabbed his cellphone and shifted the phone screen without seeing who called.

“Hallo? A schooner? What is oek oek?” His father's voice resuscitated Sekar. “Try hearing ma.... kok Oek oek gini? What's wrong with our number?” ask Ram to his wife.

“Iya nih... Rich voice baby,” sahut wife sir Ram.

Hearing the voices of his parents, Sekar's heart was racing. He rubbed his chest in shock. Quickly go to the bathroom in his room.

“Hallo dad, ma? Why not send a message first if you want to call?”

“How are you anyway? Time must use send messages if you want to call?! Usually ora po po loh?” (Normally not pa pa loh) Sekar began to massage his head. “What are you doing, nduk? How do you hear a baby's voice? Baby who?”

Finally after a long time Sekar covered from his family, this question arises as well. During Sekar pregnant until Sekar gave birth, she never told her condition to her family. He still did not have the courage to be honest with his family.

Father, ma. The voice of this baby is actually your grandchild. Will you receive a grandchild born of a pre-wedding relationship? Will you love Boy and Girl…? If the King had not abandoned us, we would have been a happy family. But it turns out she prefers other women. Even I saw their wedding photos in the local paper here. They kiss again. The king looks happy with Mona... They are compatible. Cute and pretty. While this ugly me must be turned over alone. Just remember the difficult times during pregnancy. Especially after the sod0mi incident, Sekar had to undergo intensive treatment because there was blood coming out of the back.

“That sounds my alarm, yeah. Dad why call so early?” Trying to divert the conversation.

“Ow... big right sound alarm her…? Rich demo sound...? Hm... Emmm Dad just wants to know that Tia's boyfriend and his girlfriend want to marry next month. You can take a leave, right? Over a year ago you went home.”

He began to get dizzy hearing his father's request. It wasn't a matter of leave clearance that he thought. But more because now there are Boy and Girl, so that makes himself can not go far.

“Iya father, later I permission first same my boss yes.” replied Sekar while peeking Boy and Girl who roared.

“Iya nduk... Eh... you already have a new girlfriend yet? You should be able to move on to find another man. I don't want you to think that person continues... Eh... you want to not mate father with his son Mr Joyo? Cool also he finished college anyway belom work.. Hm... Eh..!”.

“Yah! Uh mulu ah? I still sleepy ni.. Ntar I called again yes well.. Greetings to mama mbak Tia yes..” Tuutt.

I can't wait to see Boy and Girl crying. He immediately approached the bed where Boy and Girl were laid.
