Sharing Love: Winning Without Love
Season 2 - Preparing Arsyilla to Become an Elder Brother
Welcoming a second pregnancy, the preparation is not just a physical and mental mother. However, for those who already have children, preparation also includes preparing for 'Si Kakat' early on. This is certainly to establish a rope of love between Brother and his sister later. At the same time avoid Sibling Rivalry that often occurs between Brother and Sister.
Sibling Rivalry is a competition that often occurs between siblings, both of the same sex and different. This competition is usually accompanied by jealousy, envy, and competition. For example competing to get the attention of Mama or Papa, scrambling toys, or even the Big Brother may cry when Mama or Papa is holding his sister.
Therefore, Khaira and Radit try their best to prepare Arsyila to be a good Brother to minimize the occurrence of Sibling Rivalry in the future.
"Arsyila did you see a baby in your stomach?" khaira asked after they both came home from the pregnancy check.
This 3-year-old boy seemed to nod his head. "Yes Ma ... But where is the Baby Ma? When did Syila get to see Ma's baby?" she asked with her round eyes who were wondering for the whereabouts of her baby that she could not yet see.
Khaira smiled, then gently rubbed the top of Arsyila's head. "So Doctor Indri said, the new baby is as big as an apple seed. Still a little darling .. later long Mama's stomach will bulge and later every check again to the Doctor, Syila will see her baby in here grow and move." said Khaira who explained about the baby to Arsyila with a simple explanation.
"Syila was also in Mama's stomach?" asked Arsyila who was so critical of her Mom.
The two who were together in Arsyila's bedroom then looked at each other. So clearly seen so Arsyila seems to want an answer. Then Khaira stood up for a moment. "Syila .. Wait for Mama."
Khaira walked to the connecting door from Arsyila's room to her room, then she took a map from the closet and her phone. After taking everything, Khaira then sat down leaning on the head board of Arsyila's bed.
"It's Honey .. These are photos of Arsyila back when it was still in Mama's stomach. This is when Arsyila was 8 weeks, 12 weeks, 18 weeks, until Arsyila tried 39 weeks. Everything has its picture. It is seen how the small size of Arsyila continues to grow." the story shows every result of the USG Arsyila examination. Khaira sprayed the print of the USG as a photo, so that Arsyila could understand it more easily.
Arsyila seemed interested in every black and white photo paper. The little girl seemed to see one by one the results of her ultrasound as a child.
"This is a picture of Syila first, Ma?" ask Arsyila again to her mother.
Khaira nodded her head. "Right Honey .. This is a photo of Syila while still in Mama's stomach. We used to be happy every time we wanted to see the doctor and see Syila's development in Mama's stomach." Khaira recounted how she was so happy on the eve of the examination day because she could see the development of baby Arsyila from her weight, her head circumference, her water, her position. A period of pregnancy that Khaira will never forget.
While Arsyila who was listening to the story from her Mama suddenly smiled. "Baby will be like this too Ma ... Syila wants to be a big sister, Ma ... Have a baby." he said as if hopeful really want to be a big brother.
"Try later if the baby is born, what will Syila do as a sister?" ask Khaira who certainly wants to stimulate Arsyila.
For a moment Arsyila seemed to think, then she answered her mother. "Wheeled to play, sing, read a book ... if carried may not Ma?"
Khaira shook her head. "Don't carry well, the baby's bones are still cartilage. If Syila wants to hug and kiss Sister can." said Khaira gave an explanation.
"At the Sun can't Ma? Kayak Papa who likes sun dear Arsyila."
After that, Khaira reinserted the USG photos during Arsyila's pregnancy into all the small maps. "Because it's night now, Syila is bobok huh ... Mama hugged."
The little girl nodded her head and then slowly closed her eyes. Khaira still hugged Arsyila, letting her daughter sleep. After Arsyila was completely sound then she enveloped Arsyila and then entered her own room.
In the room, she saw her husband sitting on the sofa holding his phone. When Khaira came, Radit immediately put the phone on the nightstand, then one hand outstretched hoping his wife would take his hand. As the dipper greeted her, Khaira also grabbed her husband's hand.
"Had her Syila boob?" radit asked his wife.
Khaira nodded her head. "Udah ... It's bobok. If you speak carefully ... But Arsyila just to know the term sun just like you" she said who warned her husband.
Radit laughed. "Emang yes?" tanyakanya.
"Yes .. he said if you have a baby sister will want to be in-sun like Papa. Sun darling. Syila said so. Who is trying to teach? It must be Papa, right?"
Reluctant to answer, Radit was still laughing and the man just kissed his wife's cheek.
"Isshhhs .. Don't kiss Mas. I know where you haven't shaved. Irritate my skin later. Red all." said Khaira who still warned her husband.
"Your skin is very sensitive, dear ... I just have to have all red mustaches. What if I'm on a sidewalk?" ask the man to his wife.
Khaira quickly shook her head. "Don't ... Don't fray. I don't like minced men" he said quickly.
"Once in a while you have a sideburn." he bargained with his wife.
"Don't ... It's not just me who asked. The baby asked for this too."
If his wife had already said about the baby, then Radit could not resist. The man also breathed. "If you've brought baby, I lose. Yes, tomorrow morning I shave clean. How was Arsyila?"
"So I saw pictures of Arsyila's USG, telling her that she used to be in Mama's belly. It was also a stimulation to prepare Arsyila to be Big Brother. Just not negligent to him, even though there is a baby in here" said Khaira while stroking her stomach is still flat.
"It's so sweet ... Thank you, you have been and always have been a good Mama for Arsyila. You are also a worthy wife to me. Thank you, Wifey" he said as he clasped his wife's shoulder tightly.
