Sharing Love: Winning Without Love
Back to Work Again
Being a mother is a life-changing experience for a woman. This is how Khaira feels. Since taking maternity leave, giving birth, and caring for Arsyila, many new things were learned by the young mother.
Khaira felt unsure of herself, feeling unable to take care of her child, because she had no experience. But now Khaira has learned and she really enjoys her role as a Mama for Arsyila.
All day at home with Arsyila, seeing for yourself how her baby grows and develops really makes Khaira happy. Unfortunately, the time that Khaira had was almost over. The maternity leave that the college gave him was only three months. And now, he has to go back to college to teach his students.
Khaira is grateful to teach only one day, two courses which are all scheduled for every Thursday.
"Tomorrow to go to college, dear?" asked Radit who was holding Arsyila.
Khaira nodded her head. "Yes, tomorrow is the first time after maternity leave" she replied.
"Yes prepared well his teaching materials. Let no one be missed. How's Arsyila going tomorrow, honey?" radit asked his wife.
"Tomorrow I'll send Arsyila to Grandma's house. Every Thursday, I send Arsyila to Grandma's house or her Eyeang." replied Khaira.
Radit appears to nod his head. "OKAY. The important thing is ASIP do not forget, dear. Just need to help me get in Arsyila's needs in a bag?" who wants to help Khaira.
"Euhm, may you ... Can you?" khaira asked as if she was unsure of her husband.
Radit rolled his eyes at his wife. "You said you want to take what, I will prepare it and arrange it into the bag. Papa's been a pinter, Ma.." I'm proud.
Slowly Radit began to put Arsyila to bed next to her bed. The man then opened the door of the connecting room, taking the bag from there.
"What is it, baby?" ask her in a slow voice so it won't wake Arsyila up.
"Dress two sets, diapers, wet tissue, dry tissue, bath soap that is a small bottle, telon oil." Khaira said one by one the things her husband had to prepare.
"Ma ... Dodot bottle do not forget yes, tomorrow to drink ASIP" she told her husband.
In less than 15 minutes, all the items were already in the bag.
"Nih .. checked first dear. Has anyone missed? So that you do not need to go back and forth." he asked while still observing the various items needed Arsyila.
Khaira left her laptop for a moment and checked the bag her husband had prepared. Slowly he looked at all the items that had been put in the bag. Finally Khaira smiled with relief.
"This voice of Papa loh .. is all true. Completely done. Thank you Papa." she said, lifting one of her thumbs up to her husband.
"I can count on you Honey ... for anything." she said with a happy smile.

The next day, Khaira prepares to teach and she will leave Arsyila first to her parents' house. At lunchtime, Radit returns home to pick up his wife and takes her to teach.
Khaira nodded too. "Yes, it's all. Uh, but add this...." Khaira handed me another bag that said Gabag.
"What is that, baby?" ask Radit curiously.
"Bag it's pumping and ASIP bag, Mas. Afraid that 'this' is full, so later if I want to pump." he replied.
While Radit immediately glared at his eyes. "Don't pump just any darling .. danger. I don't want to have you exposed." she replied sounding so possessive.
"Papa please be calm .. I bring it just in case. If not later in the afternoon I can pump first at Mother's house will just go home." replied Khaira casually and heard giving understanding to her husband.
The three of them immediately entered the car. Radit drove his car at a moderate speed, they first left Arsyila at his Grandma's house, then drove Khaira who returned to campus to teach.
Once on campus, Khaira immediately taught to provide teaching materials for early-level students about Learning Technology, and third-level students about Online Learning Development or e-Learning.
Almost half a day passed, and Khaira still enjoyed teaching her students. Returning to teaching after a three-month hiatus, as if recharging his passion for teaching.
Once the teaching hours were over, Khaira immediately exited the faculty building and waited for her husband to pick her up.
But again this time I have to meet Tama. Honestly after the events of a few months ago when Tama cornered Radit, Khaira seemed reluctant to get on good terms with Tama. Seeing Tama who was walking into the faculty building, Khaira actually tried to shift her eyes so as not to look at Tama.
Unfortunately, it is inevitable. Tama greeted Khaira.
"Khai, how are you?" greet the man as he crosses paths with Khaira.
Khaira would not stop her footsteps. "I'm good. Going to college?" ask Khaira who is only a formality.
Tama nodded her head. "Yes .. There's a lecture this afternoon."
"Okay, okay. I go first, Tam.." said Khaira who did not want to linger facing Tama.
When Khaira began to step on her feet, Tama called her name.
"Khai, I'm sorry if a few months ago I had to talk about your husband. I just want you to get the best man, Khai. A decent man who escorted you. Sorry, I was wrong at the time." I have a face that looks guilty.
Khaira just tried to listen to every word Tama said. "It's okay, Tam .. forget it all. Because, for me now all the past is not important. Mas Radit has proven himself worthy and worthy of standing with me. Okay Tam, I'm saying yes."
Khaira breathed a sigh of relief. Hopefully Tama really isn't looking for trouble with him. So if passing by on campus, Khaira does not need to hesitate or feel bad when meeting with his friend.
While waiting, Khaira chose to stand in front of the faculty stop and hoped her husband would come to pick her up soon. She already wants to go home to pick up Arsyila, especially her ASI source is also full because half a day is not drunk directly by Arsyila. As a result, the pumping he brought was not used because all the time Khaira was really full of teaching.
Khaira panicked as the shirt she was wearing was wet, covering her shirt in her chest, with her bag Khaira hoping her husband would come to pick her up soon.
